Came in with my son he moved to LB from Redondo. Anyway, he's been there before, and he ordered these fried pickles. He offered me the first bite. I took a pretty good bite. Whet I did, extremely hot oil shot into my mouth scalding my tissue, you know what I mean, that raw mouth for 3 or 4 days. Really ruined my food, and my afternoon, now night etc. Also my meal came with a side salad. It had way too much dressing on it. Really hard to eat. And hard to eat with a burned mouth. read more

Really great spot for vegan American food! They have a selection of sandwiches like Reuben, BLT, and fried chicken; brunch options like pancakes; and small plates like fried zucchini and fried pickles. We tried their BLT, fried chicken sandwich, fried zucchini, and fried pickles spears and everything tasted great. We were especially impressed by all the fried foods! The zucchini and pickles were so crunchy and hot, while the fries that came with the sandwiches were perfectly crispy. I love a fried chicken sandwich and thought this vegan version was really tasty. The vegan chicken is a bit softer than real chicken but taste wise it was quite similar. Really friendly and quick service, dog friendly, and a cute atmosphere. Lots of parking on the residential streets behind the restaurant. read more

I have been wanting to come here for years after I heard about their amazing weekend brunch and thankfully, I found myself in the area last Sunday! Sadly, they are only open two days a week for only 5 hours each day, which makes it a bit hard to visit! Nevertheless, it was well worth the drive from Los Angeles! I was able to find parking on the side street right by the restaurant and parking seemed plentiful in the area. There is a gorgeous patio on the street, but I opted to dine inside to stay out of the sun. I was greeted by the very friendly staff upon arrival and they were quick to take my order. I opted for the pancakes, as I was in the mood for something sweet. The pancakes were very delicious and very pillowy. I loved the fruit and coconut whipped cream, which added an extra decadence to the meal. The pancakes were pretty light and while they were filling, it didn't feel heavy in my stomach. The other food I saw being brought out looked equally delicious. The vibes inside were very fun and vibrant and I felt great eating there. The restaurant was spacious but at the same time still felt cozy. The seating was very comfortable and relaxing. The staff checked on me frequently and were very helpful and personable. Payment is by cash, Zelle and Venmo so be sure to have one of those handy! The restaurant is also steps away from the beach and a walkway, so a perfect way to burn off the food after you eat! I hope to return the next time I'm in Long Beach! read more

Highly HIGHLY recommended - look no further if you're in Long Beach area or, tbh, southern California in general... it's truuuly THAT outstanding. Ambience: pretty much perfection, not too loud, gentle breezy (literally - it's near the bluffs overlooking the ocean in LB ), easy parking, never waited more than 10min at any time of day. The Staff: (( always.always )) on point, chef skills are otherworldly and I've enjoyed exactly EACH AND EVERY meal I've had here. So, g'head & stop whatever you're doing rn and *go.to.here* ASAP - you'// be so glad you did! read more

Loved the vibe of this vegan place! Went here with a couple friends when we were visiting the area on a Saturday for lunch and it wasn't too busy. I shared zucchini bites and pickle fries with friends, and my partner and I shared the crispy chicken sandwich. I also got a Jamaica agua fresca which was really refreshing. Service was great as well. read more

The new iteration of Wild Chive is awesome! They have now turned into an order at the counter coffee house with wifi and homemade food and homemade pastries during the week, and on the weekends, they have full wait staff service for breakfast and brunch. Same owners and the same great quality food, but now you can work here during the day like other coffee hang's in a really nice light filled environment. They have an entire side wall that slides up to open air patio seating. Highly recommend! read more

We used to get the vegan Monte Cristo and other delights when The Wild Chive (vegan) was a pop-up at the LB Farmers Market (years ago). This was our first time getting to visit their brick-and-mortar spot. Wow! Such a fun interior (disco balls are always a win!) and lots of seating inside as well as some shaded tables outside. The playlist was great! Before we left I went inside to ask about the playlist . They were so great to share it with me! The large kitchen window just adds to the cool interior. We were at Mangiafoglie (another vegan/plant-based restaurant) last night for dinner and saw a poster advertising Long Beach Food Scene Week. As soon as I saw that Wild Chive was advertising a Carne Asada Banh Mi (freshly-baked baguette, pickled carrots, sriracha, cilantro, Fresno chiles, crispy fried shallots, and house-made cilantro-lime aioli + a side salad) I knew that the MR. would want to go there for lunch. This was def the best Bahn Mi that he has ever had! I opted for something a with a little less spice! Oat Milk Berry Pancakes for me! Two fluffy oat milk, blueberry pancakes, topped with fresh strawberries, coco-whip, and dusted with powdered sugar. House-made vegan butter and maple syrup served on the side. Everyone working there was so friendly and had positive vibes! read more

We went last weekend, and Kes gave us excellent service. I ordered a burrizo, which was spiced well. As a carnivore, I thoroughly enjoyed it, which was a gentle surprise. I loved the rainbow flags. Great way to start June. Beautiful ambiance. read more

Food was very delicious and I will come back again to try something different. The mushroom sandwich was very meaty tasting and seasoned great with some delicious homemade bread. The soju-Rita was also very delicious and a great price at $9. My negatives were the service. It was sooo slow!!! They asked if I wanted ketchup with my fries but then never brought it. Unless you flag someone down you won't be helped. The music was also so loud you can't carry a conversation even outside. The seating was also uncomfortable, the bench was straight up at a 90 degree angle and the boards were uneven to sit on. read more

Wild Chive remains my favorite restaurant since trying it for the first time a year ago. When I'm in town, I have to come once a week. Since going vegan a few years ago, it's been hard to find vegan restaurants that I enjoy, but not Wild Chive. Truly knocks it out of the park every time. Exceptional flavor, diverse menu, and stellar service. read more

I've had this spot bookmarked for a few years and I'm mad that I waited so long to try it. The brunch menu was simple and easy to choose from, which I appreciated. The country breakfast and the burizzo were both delicious. I expected them to taste similar, but they both had their own unique flavor profile. The texture on the burizzo tortilla was perfection. Areli gave us great recommendations and fast service. She and another lass helped us get rid of some frustrating hiccups. They tried scaring tactics, mental games and finally a shot of hot sauce, which did the trick. They went above and beyond and made The Wild Chive a new favorite Long Beach spot. The sidewalk seating was very relaxing and dog friendly , very appreciated as well. It's all street parking, but it wasn't that hard to find a spot even on a Saturday at noon. Clean restrooms too! read more

I'm always on the lookout for a good brunch spot, and The Wild Chive totally delivered. The vibe is unmatched--great music, a friendly and diverse staff, and a menu full of affordable, flavorful vegan dishes. Their to-go cafe serves amazing coffee, and the space is super inclusive: dog-friendly, LGBTQ+ friendly, and proudly POC & women-owned. Street parking is available nearby, so getting there is a breeze. My only negative? I wish they were open more often because they're that good! I think they rotate their menu, too--last time I went, I tried their Monte Cristo sandwich, but it wasn't on the menu this time. Still, I'm already looking forward to going back!

Ambiance: Perfect little stop where they have indoor and outdoor seating. The open garage door where you get the fresh air and the cover of being inside helped so much. Loved that they were dog friendly so you can have company while you enjoyed your meal. Staff: The staff is efficient and made sure we had what we needed. You order via a QR code to see their updated menu. Paying did take a minute to handle since everyone seemed to try to do it at once, but we were not in a rush. Food: Get the patty melt. I do not know what magic they did to that patty, but it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. It was perfectly cooked and the toppings made it incredible. The salad helped to balance out the flavors too so I would recommend it. We also got the fried chicken sandwich, it was good, but no match to the patty melt. We got the tots to go with it and both decided that the next time we would both get the melts and salads. read more

**this is going to be a more collective review as i've gone here a couple times when i've travelled to LB. (biscuit is most recent Dec 2024, while the rest is July 2024). every time i go here, the menu changes a little bit so bit if a bummer when i can't try the same dishes i've had previously. but on the plus side there is more room for variety and new things to try. the chick'n and biscuit is great, bacon a bit tough and hard to chew through but if you soak it with a bit of gravy it'll suffice. montecristo is my absolute fave to order here though, comes with jam and a generous dusting of sugar. it's definitely big enough to share as a small brunch. the space is cute, and the service is even better. great place to get veg comfort meals! read more

I am not vegan but don't mind a bit of healthy food. I came here for an early lunch with a group this past Friday and was pleasantly surprised. I previewed the menu before arriving, so had a good idea of what I wanted. It was a debate, however, between the country breakfast and bbq chik'n salad. I opted for the salad, as it was one of the newer items on the menu, according to our server. And boy, am I happy I did! The chik'n was very flavourful -- I really enjoyed the BBQ sauce (I even asked for extra). The salad is also tossed with a southwestern ranch dressing. Personally, the dressing was a little chive-y for my taste, so I would have gone a little lighter on it.. but that's OK -- I was able to tone it down with the extra BBQ. We also had some fried zucchini, which was also very tasty. My one recommendation to the restaurant would be to have larger water glasses. I felt like our server had to constantly come over to fill out glasses, as you get about three sips from them. (We had just finished a walk, so were pretty thirsty.) Highly recommend The Wild Chive! 2024: 34/100 read more

Sometimes I consider making a trip down to Long Beach just so I can go to Wild Chive. This vegan brunch spot makes some of the best comfort food I have ever tasted! They also have tons of gluten free options and everything I've tried was absolutely amazing. The restaurant is open air and has lots of room for dogs, kids, strollers, etc. The staff is super friendly and accommodating- I always love chatting with them. Don't miss the amazing iced sweet tea and hibiscus teas! I also love their scramble and the burrito bowl. The flavors and textures are so good that you won't even know it's vegan! read more

Heads up - Weekends require reservation! The Wild Chive has such a cute interior! Hanging lights, wooden accents, RBG on the wall... it's a vibe! It felt so fresh and open. There's also an outdoor seating area. I'm always intrigued by vegan food, and everything on their menu sounded delicious. We ordered the Shroom Burger, Chive BLT, Grilled Burrizo, Pickle Fries, and side of French Toast. Everything came out hot and fresh (emphasis on HOT! I burned myself on the Burrizo haha). The pickle fries were crispy and yummy, but the dipping sauce was too salty IMO. The french toast was pretty standard - nothing to write home about here. Other than that, everything else was overly salty, and unfortunately, not enjoyable for me :( I'm not sure if that's the nature of vegan foods, but it was a bit hard to finish due to the saltiness. While I loved the interior and friendly service of The Wild Chive, don't think I'll be returning as the food was overly salty. read more

Haven't been here in years. Not from the area. Decided to try it again. It's not what I remembered it to be. Quality and service has gone downhill unfortunately. Maybe under new management. The ambience: really loud music should be turned down a bit--even for me. I don't know how people can sit inside and eat. You can barely hear yourselves talk. Seating outside available ONLY for takeout as they don't tend to customers outdoor. Tables were not clean. The food: extremely OVERPRICED. Such a small portion for what you get. The Sammie was so small and I'm a small person I thought it was little portion. The fries looked so skimpy as well. Not also was it small but it wasn't even good tbh. No flavor. Quality: their sandwich was so messy to eat. It was dripping wet and the slice of tomato was big--not thinly cut. Imo presentation is not for aesthetics but also keeping in mind how the customer receives the product. How would you expect a person to open their mouths wide trying to bite a large piece of tomato and everything oozing out. Price: too pricey for one item. Over $20 for a tiny burger and small hand of fries. Not worth it. The price point should be less than that. Doesn't meet the standards of what other $20 vegan restaurants offer. Service: food took so long to get. Waited nearly 30mins just for one order! Horrible. The staff were nice but that's about it. Will not be returning unfortunately. Save yourself the time and money. There's way more other options in the area that tastes better and way more affordable. read more

The fries here are like no other!!!! If you get one thing here, it has to be the fries!!!! They were super delicious!!!!! Perfectly made. The burger was delicious, too, but those fries are very memorable!!! Service was phenomenal. Our waitress was incredible!!! Super friendly and helpful. The hostess was great, as well. My sister ordered the Grilled Burrizo and we each ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee, for me, was super strong but I doctored it up a bit with sweetener and it was much, much better (to my liking). Would recommend if you're in the neighborhood. : ) read more

Im finally getting around to this review after being here so many times! It's where me and my sister go every time we want to grab a brunch we both agree on!! It's vegan and delicious at the same time. Their menu items change but are all very very delicious!! I love the drinks too, they are SO flavorful!! Staff is incredibly sweet, helpful and really complete the ambiance with their kindness! read more

The environment and energy of the restaurant was wonderful, but we did not end up staying to eat, so I can't give too much other feedback. We drove close to an hour to try this spot out just to get there and realize their menu is significantly reduced. All of the dishes we had planned to try, like the monte cristo, are no longer offered. Also, they did not have many gf options anymore either. This was a huge bummer. Be sure to look at their website for up-to-date menu offerings or maybe even reach out before hand because Yelp doesn't depict what they have accurately. read more

One of the best plant-based spots anywhere! The decor is vibrant and the vibe is hip and lively. Service was fast and everyone was so kind and helpful! Highly recommend the BLT. It is sometimes difficult to not keep getting the same thing every time because it's literally perfect. The pesto chicken sandwich on croissant was delicious as well. Dairy-free horchata? Yes, please! So good. I have been missing Vietnamese coffee since going dairy-free and theirs did not disappoint! read more

This place has completely stolen my heart. The food is incredible fresh, flavorful, and 100% vegan, which makes me so happy I could cry. Every dish feels like it was made with love, and honestly, you can taste it. But what really makes this place special is the staff. They're the sweetest, kindest people. So welcoming and genuinely warm like you're walking into a friend's kitchen instead of a restaurant. The vibe is just good energy all around. Friendly, relaxed, and full of heart. I'm so grateful this place exists. It's more than a restaurant it's a little haven for good food, good people, and good vibes. Highly, highly recommend. read more

This place was SUPER GOOD. The staff was not only exceptionally kind and nice, but the food was AMAZING. I also loved the ambiance and how comfortable the vibe was. Only issue was this rude lady and her party sat next to us today outside, and were being so mean to the staff saying that one of their servers were mean and the food was undercooked... and when I accidentally looked over real quick she made eye contact with me and goes "normal conversation with normal people." I legit ignored, but god what a downer. Not the restaurant's fault at all, but if that lady and her group ever sees this, I hope you guys treat servers with more kindness. And don't make a scene if you don't want people to look. Other than that 10/10 read more

The Wild Chive - Waffelito on top and half a burrizo - Vegan Near Me - Long Beach, California

My fiancé and I were looking forward to a peaceful vegan brunch experience and decided to try this spot in Long Beach. The area, as expected, was busy with limited parking, but we found a space and made our way in with open hearts. The host greeted us and quickly seated us -- a kind gesture in what appeared to be a small but bustling space. The menu, accessible via QR code, was quite limited, leaning more toward drinks than food. Still, we chose a couple of breakfast items and a hibiscus drink. After a bit of a wait, we were finally able to place our order. The drinks arrived with paper straws already inserted, which can be tricky if you're hoping to enjoy the drink with your meal rather than immediately. Small detail, but worth mentioning. When our food arrived, it did so in an unusual way. The cook who brought mine made a remark -- "Don't worry, I didn't forget about you" -- which seemed unnecessary, as I hadn't expressed any concern. Tone can be a delicate thing, and while I try not to take things personally, it did leave us feeling a little uncomfortable. As for the food, the banana blueberry pancakes were dry, even with syrup, which was rationed enough that additional servings cost extra. At \$20, I hoped for a bit more flavor and care in the preparation. While our experience wasn't what we'd hoped, I believe every establishment has room to grow. I'm sharing this with understanding -- not condemnation -- in the spirit of feedback and constructive reflection. I genuinely hope this place continues to evolve and aligns its service with the love and intention behind plant-based food. Presentation was nice. read more
