    Another amazing visit. I really wanted to try some other dishes but the wet burrito is too good to pass up. As Always, it was outstanding. The Evo burger was new for me. I enjoyed it and the side of fries, but not anything special. Great service as always and the decor and environment here is always uplifiting and inspiring. Will return soon!

    Great place with friendly service. I tried the tofu miso crunch wrap and it was very good. My companion had the same. Also tried some guacamole and chips. I thought the chips tasted really good. He was a bit indifferent. We came towards the end of the evening so we didn't end up getting dessert but I hope to come back again and try their beignets!

    Cute little place. Service was amazing. Food was fresh and delicious. Love the different options on the menu for healthy choices.

    I had walked by the Mustard Seed so many times and decided to finally try it. Found parking in the parking lot, and upon walking in I noticed the beautiful nature/forest decor (fitting since it's a vegan restaurant). The scenes of nature on the TV screens and smooth music playing gave it a very calm vibe. There were also several biblical verses on the walls. Service was friendly and attentive. I ordered the loco moco, which was much wetter than I expected (the gravy was more like a broth). The patty was tasty and I was impressed how they made a vegan sunny side egg runny. The dish itself was tasty but a bit salty; the gravy broth was reminiscent of French onion soup with lots of onion and mushroom flavor. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and wouldn't mind trying more off their menu. I'm not vegan but appreciate tasty vegan and vegetarian restaurants.

    Brought a friend this time and finally got to try their loco moco! Very clean, casual and relaxing music today. Their menu includes cuisines inspired by Hawaiian, Mexican, and Cajun dishes. We were sat immediately at a table and served ice water along with menus. Friday night is busy for them! Lots of tables filled before and after us! We shared the crunchy tacos, loco moco, and wet burrito. I love me any tacos dorados (fried tacos) and these are always delicious. No salsa needed since it's so well seasoned and balanced. The loco moco was a little bit on the saltier side. In the future I'd prefer the gravy on the side so I can control the saltiness. The protein patty tastes just like a regular burger patty! And the fried "egg" on top was really good too. It even had the runny yolk texture too. My favorite this meal was the wet burrito. The texture of the protein they used was so good. A nice chew and good flavor too. It's already cut in half when they serve it but they still give you a knife in case. Towards the end of our meal, we received complimentary beignets! Four fresh, hot, and served with a sauce. I only had one and my two friends also had one each. My friends enjoyed this spot and commented it's one of their new favorite vegetarian/vegan locations. I'm always happy to share good food with friends and will be back!

    Very cute spot with fun nature-themed decor. Every time I visit, the staff is friendly, and a couple of times the owner has come out into the front of house to see how everything is going with guests. The food never disappoints. Quality is very high. It's very expensive to me, $20 for a wrap is definitely above average. But it's in a desirable location and they don't skimp on ingredient quality so I can see what contributes to the higher prices. I do wish they had more dessert options instead of just beignets. Great spot overall.

    Ambiance, food, service all excellent!! Very cute and well designed, chic restaurant! Our server was extremely sweet and attentive! For a vegan restaurant, both GF items, crunchy tacos and crab cakes had excellent flavor and taste, but the crunchy tacos were a little oily. Tartar sauce and red chili taco sauce were tasty, the green chili sauce was spicy! Our server was extremely kind and gave us 2 pieces of their beignet on the house! Scored!! Such a pleasant, tasty surprise visit to Mustard Seed! We'll definitely be back when we're in town!

    This is a Vegan restaurant but you would not believe that it's vegan food. Flavorful and so, so good..... It was so good that I was halfway through it before I remembered to take a photo. Love the atmosphere. It's relaxed, aesthetically pleasing, soothing background music and my server Sheena was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant for both vegan and meat eaters. You will not be disappointed. The food is fantastic. Did I mention that they serve Beignets? Brought back memories of Cafe' du Monde in New Orleans.

    The Mustard Seed in Cerritos is such a vibe! From the second we walked in, the team was super friendly and made us feel right at home. The space has a modern, minimalist look that's clean and cozy, perfect for kicking back and enjoying great food. We ordered a little bit of everything and it did not disappoint: Nachos - Fully loaded with all the good stuff. Saucy, cheesy, fresh pico, and perfectly seasoned beef. Cheeseburger & Fries - Juicy burger with melty cheese and crispy seasoned fries. Classic and done right. Happy Hawaiian - Bright and fresh with pineapple, avocado, grilled veggies, edamame, and a delicious sauce. Loved that they offer vegan-friendly options! Beignets - Served at the end of our meal and honestly the perfect finishing touch. Soft, fluffy, and covered in powdered sugar. Sweet, simple, and so good. The service was warm and genuine, and everything felt super laid-back in the best way. If you're looking for a chill spot with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere, this is it. I'll definitely be back.

    Very delicious food! We ordered an abundance of food! Our waitress Julie and the owner/chef Phil are amazing! Fast service and such a serene ambiance. I highly recommend this vegan restaurant. High quality and fresh ingredients. Thank you Mustard Seed for an excellent vegan dinner. We will be back!

    My first time trying vegan Hawaiian and Cajun style food!! It was incredibly delicious, everything we tried. We started off with the crab cakes which were perfectly fried. The texture was from the hearts of palm and paired with the lemon aioli, it was a great blend of salty and sour and crunchy. For entree, we got the fettuccini Alfredo with Cajun chicken and the loco moco. It was my first time trying both dishes and I have no complaints. Also, it was super cool seeing a vegan egg yolk that burst like a regular egg - very innovative. The service was also 10/10. Our server (I think Julie) saw it was our anniversary and brought out complimentary beignets for us! Overall we had a blast and will come again soon.

    She gave us. These were free so sweet.

    My best friend died. I've been crying for two days straight. Thank God. My friend Sandy came to pick me up and take me out to get some food. I'm really grateful she picked something healthy . I love the name the mustard seed ! Biblical... the places so nice. It's decorated very organic. I didn't realize how hungry I was until I started eating. The service was amazing. She was so sweet. I needed healthy food to sooth my soul. . Thank you to the Mustardseed for helping me feel some kind of better five stars

    Revisited The Mustard seed for a lunch with some friends and once again the food did not disappoint. I ordered my usual Hawaiian bowl and it was delicious just like how I remembered it to be the first time around. Great flavors, fresh, hearty, and healthy. The bowl definitely satisfy your hungry and fills you up nicely. Service is always great, friendly and efficient staff members. The restaurant was a bit smokey this day, not sure if they burnt something but there wasn't much ventilation and the smoke just sat in the sitting area. And it was pretty warm in the restaurant this day. If you haven't given vegan food a try, you're missing out.

The outside was crispy, and it comes with curry and rice, so the portion is very filling. We also ordered the Rice Ball, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Spicy Chicken with Cheese. The rice ball was simple but good with the fried food, and the shrimp fried rice was a solid option for kids. The spicy chicken with cheese was richer and heavier, with plenty of melted cheese on top. Overall, the Giant Chicken Katsu was the standout for us and the dish I'd come back for.

We got the $50 combo of tteokbokki and fried whole chicken. Is the tteokbokki in the combo supposed to be smaller than the normal one? The portion was comical, filling up maybe 1/3 of the giant white bowl. There were hardly any toppings on there. The cheese was literally a strip. I know this place isn't Yupddeok but they do a whole swirl on the bowl there. Yikes. And the chicken was... mediocre at best. Very anorexic chicken. And they wanted to charge an extra $2 for sauce. Yeah, we left hungry and unhappy. My sister talked about getting McDonald's on the way home. My husband said we should've gone to Chili's. Next time, we'll make the drive to Yukddeok for tteokbokki. Service was good though, our server was very sweet. I wish I got his name but he was working the evening shift and had black hair and a black t-shirt with Gengar on it. He's the only reason the review got two stars instead of one.

Came here on a weeknight for dinner and it was not busy. There are a lot of tables inside with a stage towards the front for live music. The space is light on decor with exception of the walls which had images of lion dancers and other things. Food is ordered at the front and brought to the table when ready. We got the Crispy Oyster Mushrooms and the Eggplant Tofu. The Crispy Oyster Mushrooms came in a portion size that was larger than we expected. They tasted like the Salt and Pepper Squid dish that my family gets from Chinese restaurants which we really like. However, the breading was heavy and a lot of the pieces at the bottom were oily. The Eggplant Tofu was solid. Both the Eggplant and tofu were cooked well and had a nice savory sauce. This dish came with rice on the side. Overall, giving Vegan District Asian Eatery a 4/5. The space is clean and spacious and the staff are nice. The flavors of the food are good. Would recommend to anyone looking for vegan Asian food and would come back to try other things on the menu.
