    The Inka Spot is a Peruvian restaurant in Whittier. Smash Tuesday $5 Special; you get 1/4 chicken with one side . They are famous for the Tallarín Verde with Lomo Saltado. This is Creamy Pesto topped off with Peruvian beef stir fry. Saltado Camaron with fried rice. This dish comes with shrimp stir fry with fried rice. If you love fried rice, try it with shrimps. The Pescado frito with rice and salad is a Fried Fish with garlic steam rice and salad. The fried fish with rice is huge and buttery. Whole pollo with fries & salad comes with rotisserie chicken served with fries and salad. The chicken plate with rice or fries are completely delicious. The jalapeño creamy sauce is complimentary and tastes so good with beef or chicken. Service is friendly and cozy atmosphere. The location in a food hall offers a lively vibe.

    Was craving Peruvian food and decided to give Inka Spot a try which is located in Rodeo 72. Each dish is served with a side of aguadito. aguadito rating: 5/5 super flavorful and delicious tallarin w/chicken: 2/5 it was okay at best? Wasn't super impressed because the noodles felt like spaghetti textured ones and not the typical ones I've had in a tallarin dish before. lomo saltado w/chicken: 4.5/5 Delish! Fries were well seasoned and tasty, good chicken portion. overall: The tallarin w pollo wasn't really as flavorful as I'd hoped and needed all of the extra salsa provided added in to provide spice and flavor.

    Peruvian food  so good

    Love Peruvian food and this place hits the spot, the chicken is delicious! The cashier was great in recommending dishes to try and made me feel so welcome. Also a plus that they're inside a food hall where there are cool little places to sit & enjoy the entertainment.

    soup (that I didn't order) that turns out has  the cilantro rice in it.

    Got there today @ 12:40pm. Not a person near the place. (that should have been my first clue.) I ordered the 1/2 rotisserie chicken combo that is advertised @ $15. After ordering one small side salad i see the $31 charge. The extra charges were kind of explained... i guess..? i bit the bullet and then waited and waited and waited...Meanwhile the one worker is literally standing there doing nothing but playing on her phone...for 20 min. Tried to get her attention she just kept looking down. There was no other customers that even stopped by! Finally i get the food. The chicken looked tasty but turned out lacking in taste ...like bland. Then i see the 'cilantro rice' and it's basically soup!! lol I ask for some extra sauce and get told it's another .50 for the smallest portion 1 oz.? the pinto beans were fine but the whole experience was a disappointing and i will never go back to that place especially in light of the fact that there are so many other options here. Much better. I guess I'm just disappointed that I picked the worst place! :(. Beware!

    Their chicken is very bland. The mango drink I got from their was also very thick; didn't like it. I won't order from there again.

    I recently discovered The Chicken Koop, and I am addicted!…read more I love getting their half roasted chicken with 2 sides, and it's been on my weekly rotation. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and it's a decent portion for the price. I also like that they have a lot of sides to choose from, and I usually go for the Brussels sprouts and jalepeno Mac and cheese. The plate also comes with a fluffy naan! You can pick 2 sauces to go with it, and my favorite sauce is the green sauce. I tried the garlic chicken plate once, but I prefer the regular roasted chicken. I haven't been in yet, so I can't speak to the service or ambiance, but the food is delicious!

This location is a little different, some of the menu & Happy Hour options vary, and it is much smaller inside, but they also have an outside patio to sit. The service was good, and quick. My daughter came for a specific sandwich that she loves, and said it was equally good at this location. I came for the chicken and waffles, I asked for tenders instead of bone-in chicken pieces, and unfortunately it was not as good as the Alhambra location. The battered coating is different and completely falling off of the tenders, the waffle was a little overcooked as well. The Alhambra location uses a panko crusted breading and it's so good and crunchy! I don't think I would return to this location.

I was glad to be mistaken though! We decided to order their Family Meal Butter Kimchi Katsu Chicken ($46.99 + tax) which came with a generous portion of their crispy chicken drizzled with their original butter kimchi sauce, heaping servings of rice, yummy mac salad and beautifully wrapped spam musubis topped with green onions and furikake. Their butter kimchi sauce is definitely where it's at! While I really enjoyed the food, I think what sets Shootz apart is their amazing and friendly service! The gentleman at the counter was so helpful and nice and really made sure we had a great experience. If you find yourself at Rodeo 72 and are having a hard time deciding what to eat, I definitely recommend giving Shootz a try! There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating at the food hall, and we also didn't have any issues with parking.

    Finally made it out to Shootz there in Whittier, the food hall Rodeo 72.... Oh so worth it but now…read moreI'm frustrated with myself for not going sooner! Just enjoyed my second visit this week and the food and service is amazing. The food hall is nice so there's plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your food. Of course there's other great spots to choose from but Shootz has my heart, and definitely my stomach! wrapped around their concept. The flavors have a wow factor to them that you don't get sick of. Their kimchi butter that they're famous for is all the hype and more. I prefer their spicy option but the regular is good as well. The spice level isn't over the top but if you're a mild to non spicy person I would stick with the regular. Their mac salad is good but I'm a sucker for rice and I love that they have furikake as a topper over the rice, under the chicken and shrimp. Oh that's right, get the number 4! You won't be disappointed. Brandon helped me out the first time, then Mathew when I came back with my parents. Service over all isn't just basic countertop service. Very nice and helpful with questions when we had them. Thank you so much for great service no matter how short the visit! And the onolicios food! Can't wait to come back!

    I don't even know where to start--Guildhall absolutely blew me away…read more Being in Uptown Whittier and surrounded by so many spots, it takes a lot for something to stand out--but Guildhall delivers on every level. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance hits you. It's elevated, welcoming, and has that perfect balance of modern energy with a laid-back vibe. The food? Next level. Every dish that came out was crafted with intention--you can taste the quality, the creativity, and the consistency. Nothing felt rushed, nothing felt basic. It's the kind of place where you go thinking you'll try a few things and end up wanting the whole menu. And let's talk about the drinks... perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and actually memorable. Not just your typical cocktails--these are the kind you come back for. Service was just as impressive. Attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the team cares about the experience, not just turning tables. I'm new to really exploring more spots around Whittier, and I can confidently say--this is one of those places you keep in rotation. Whether it's a date night, night out with friends, or just pulling up solo at the bar, it hits every time. Do yourself a favor--go check out Guildhall. Thank me later.
