Garlic fries
Vanessa A.

I was looking for a restaurant that served an espresso martini and this place did not disappoint. Today was international coffee day so I was looking forward to one. Our server was Jp and he was polite and knowledgeable of the menu and drink options. The restaurant was cute and had many food and drink options. They had a happy hour menu so we ordered from there and everything was delicious. We had the garlic Parmesan fries the rib tacos. Can't wait to return! Jp mentioned other food options so we can't to order those next time along with a Tokyo tea. He also mentioned that on Friday evenings and saturdays they have music . Toast Downey is lucky to have him as an employee.

Really beautiful spot inside the stonewood mall. Great aesthetic and overall ambiance. Got sat quickly on a Thursday morning. Our waiter was funny and very kind, helping us choose and working through our questions. I got the short rib chilaquiles, good but a bit mushy. My friend got the breakfast combo and we shared a coffee. Would go back but would get something different, chilaquiles were $26.

Cucumber and strawberries y lemonades

Today was great day to come in for brunch! Not packed but a few diff parties were seated. 1st time here! So when we walked in I was super impressed with the quality of decor and quantity of seating! **just be careful of their swinging door- swings fast & both directions -DONT STAND TOO CLOSE ** We were seated almost immediately and then assisted by Carolina who was nice , eager and knowledgeable. We got YUMMY drinks , kinda reminiscent of Aguas frescas ! I recommend the cucumber lemonade!! Then we ordered our food also pictured! The French toast I got well done and it was so yummy like a hint of vanilla or something! The omelette was yummy fresh and perfect! Thanks to the chefs !! ** they have a large bar with tvs and drink specials (I saw all the fifa specials) - they also have outside seating and I can totally see them getting packed during games ** Thank you to everybody who brought our food and welcomed us in. It was very pleasant !! I'll def be back!!

Avocado toast

Oh my god. I love breakfast but finding vegan alternatives are limited for brunch. I had the best egg Benedict & potato chips were soo good. I love the hibiscus mimosa too! The ambiance is great & place is huge to accommodate larger parties too.

Cranberry mimosa

Came back for Sunday Brunch & had a great experience AGAIN! Thank you to our server Robert, he was great! I was able to substitute the simple breakfast to fit my specific needs. We got 2 bottles of champagne and watch Sunday Football. I will be back again

Stopped in with my family for Sunday breakfast. The place was already busy, but we were seated right away. The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a pleasing atmosphere. My husband and I both ordered the Nut-Bad Irish coffee. For food, he got the short rib enchiladas, I ordered the Barbacoa Benedict, and our son had the chicken tenders. The bite of his enchiladas I tried was good. The meat was tender and the sauce had good flavor. Unfortunately, my dish... had a long white wavy hair hanging over a side of the plate, when I pulled it, more of it was underneath the potatoes, which completely killed my appetite for the rest of the dish. I shouldn't be, but I get embarrassed to say anything, so I left that section of my potatoes aside. The benedict itself was okay, though the barbacoa was not dry, and the sauce gave it a good balance. The Nut-Bad Irish coffee was just alright. I found the nutmeg flavor way too overpowering with every sip, but my husband seemed to enjoy it more than I did.

Short Rib Pasta & Burger (don't remember the name)
Shinead D.

Came here with a group of my gfs for my bday! Arrived right before 3pm for R&B brunch which was a blast. Great music, good vibes. They don't really want you up and dancing which is understandable but we managed. lol Good was a solid 7/10, they don't really offer brunch style food after 3 which is a bummer bc I really wanted to try their French toast and chilaquiles. Short rib pasta was mid 6/10 and burger was an average burger. I don't really come to places like this expecting the food to be 10/10 and I'm curious to know if the breakfast and brunch style food is better than the lunch/dinner options. Their unlimited mimosas are great but are time capped at 90 mins however our server made sure our bottle stayed full. Overall experience was an 8/10. Decent food, great vibes.

This place was really big and spacious, and I loved the overall vibe as soon as we walked in. When we were seated at our booth, the table was a little sticky, but we asked for a wipe down and they handled it right away with no issue. The menu was a bit intimidating at first (so many good options ), but I ended up going with the short rib enchiladas and they were pretty freaking good. Not a crumb left. My boyfriend got the short rib chilaquiles and he enjoyed his just as much. We also ordered the Flying Unicorn, which was super fun... it actually changes colors when you add the lemonade shot, so that was a cute little moment. It's definitely a great brunch spot, but the only downside was the wait for the check. We were completely done -- empty plates, just sitting there and still waiting for a while before it came. Aside from that, the experience was really good and I'd come back again!

A great experience for my first time! It's definitely a vibe after 3pm. Dj played bangers. You can get the mic and karaoke. The tacos were sooo tasty and the drinks are great!!! Great service and friendly staff. The decor is pretty. There is enough seating inside and outside. Outdoor seating is covered and a bit more private. No reservation needed. Lots of parking since it's next to the mall. Payment is cash or card, no Apple Pay. I'm definitely going back!

I really enjoyed our brunch here. Reservations are a must and your party must be complete before they seat you. It can easily be located since its outside the mall. Parking is not an issue; you may have to walk a bit for its a busy mall. Food was good, menu was pretty much like your regular brunch spot. I had eggs benedict & it was perfect. I had their fried hash browns instead --- reminded me of piknik. it was really tasty. Convos were really intetesting & we were not asked to leave due to time which was really nice. It's not a big place and it can seat plenty. Good place to go for a weekend brunch.

Waffles  and chicken!
Chrissy D.

This was my first time at this establishment. We walked in and the place was packed and the DJ had a good vibe going on. We were seated. The host sat us down at a dirty table. I let that go. I asked the lady that was passing by could she clean the table and she did. Then our waiter came and his name was Juan. Not very friendly or helpful with the menu since this was our first time and it was more but I'm not going to elaborate on it. But when a friendlier waitress came by I asked her a question and she was so nice and outgoing. I asked could she be our waitress. Jessica was by far the best waitress there. Her amazing customer service is the reason why I will be back. Jessica went above and beyond the call of duty for all her tables. Jessica is the best. You should have Jessica train the waiter and waitress. I loved the DJ and the entire atmosphere ‼I will be spreading the news about Toast in Downey.

French Toast, I think it was Cap'n Crunch or something & Chimichurri  steak & eggs
Margarita A.

BAWMB OMGGG! I looooooved my steak! My fiancé loved her French toast and she NEVER eats anything sweet so I was sooo surprised when she ordered that but happy she enjoyed it. I love chimichurri more than anything and OH MY GOD, this one was fricken amazing, I'm addicted. Also, the potatoes, we get them everytime now! Sometimes we just crave only them! Everything was delicious. Only downside is with us being two, we did get seated at a bit of a small table and I'm tall so I was a bit uncomfortable but honestly, before I even got to ask if we could move, I tasted my steak and just didn't stop eating, it was so good. The small table didn't bother me none at that point. I really wish they'd let me do 4.5 star rating.

Vita H.

I've been here several times with the girls for brunch, but this visit was for their Saturday R&B brunch with a DJ--and wow, it was packed! We arrived right at 3pm and were told there was a 1-1.5 hour wait, but we were seated sooner than expected, which was a nice surprise. The décor is upscale with darker tones, and there's seating inside and on the patio. You can hear the music throughout the restaurant, which really sets the vibe. Our server was great even with the high volume of guests. The food was good (I still prefer their breakfast menu), but the real star for me was the drinks--yesss, they were delicious! I would definitely come back, but next time I'll come early to be sure we get seated. There was a 90-minute time limit posted, but we weren't rushed at all. If you want good music, sing-along fun, and excellent drinks, Saturday brunch here is a great time with friends.

In order to honor Cinco De Mayo, with festivities that were okay for me, I went to Mandala Cantina…read morefor Latino beats and Loteria--- otherwise known as Mexican Bingo, which kind of takes the red, white and green flavor of the game. But quick understanding the term suffices. As I entered Mandala Cantina, I knew that I had stepped inside a vibe of Latin frenzy and buck--- it was replete with a sophisticated backyard boggie energy. Or in other words, the carne asada barbecue had adopted an elegant, glamorous and modern Talum motif that hit with bright mellow lights, beige beauty all around and a good time fueled by tequila shots and cocktails. I was sat at the bar, but I was warned that my sit would be bellow the regular bar line. So I sat alone, and I could look up at everyone else sat from by de-elevated sit. I was ok, I had arrived late, I was by myself with no reservation and on a whim, so I took my corner seat and did my best to forget that I sat below everyone's eye level. The party vibe was strong and palpable all across the bar. In fact, I have been to very few bars where the move was to sit, yet, the music and crowd almost demanded that we acted like we were on a club, but sitting down. More clearly, I wanted to move and dance but since there was no space, and we were playing Mexican bingo, we were implicitly required to sit and dance. For those who did not, the party still pulsed. There was this huge Cantaro (Mexican clay cup or vase) with six straws. So like a fishbowl drink that is commong in Tiki or Island theme bars, but in a large Mexican mug. This guy was moving it around while he was filmed in a way where he showed the drink for six like Mufasa showed Simba to the residents of Pride rock. So I am basically saying that all the people in the bar and crowd found a way to honor the old school hits of Reggaton and Banda that dominated the airwaves of the spot. I could not help but beat my head back and forth when Oye Mi Canto played and the lasers of the spot moved around wildly. In short, it was an experience that can be described as lit. The experience of game play was also electric. As soon as you entered, you were asked to pick a card from a large stack. You were also required to get some frijolitos-- small beans, that did not jump. I put all my beans into my card and removed them as my cards were called. I came close to winning, and maybe I did, but it was hard to focus amidst the noise and bop, so maybe I did win and did not register that one of my cards had been called so its frijolito remain on top of that square. Regardless, of the lack of victory I expeirenced I was still very happen I went here to celebrate Cinco De Mayo with appropriate festivities. After I soon sat, some tacos were placed in front of me. They were for my neigbor. I was honest and made them aware that they were not for me. After all a Mexico Hero-- Benito Juariez reminds us that respeto a lo ajeno es la paz. Or in other ways, respecting what is not yours equals peace.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I'm honestly disappointed with how disorganized Mandala was…read moreduring the Mexico game on July 5, 2026. I've tried multiple times to call and speak to a manager about what happened, but after receiving no response, here I am leaving a Yelp review. This wasn't my first time at Mandala, but it will very likely be my last. I made my reservation the same day Mexico won and reservations opened. I reserved a table for 8 people at 3:45 PM, which was the maximum party size available. I arrived around my reservation time, definitely before 4:00 PM, and security directed me to wait in the line designated for guests with reservations. By around 4:30 PM, the reservation line had barely moved, yet I watched other people walk up, give their names, and be let inside. At the same time, I could clearly see two reserved tables for eight sitting completely empty.I finally asked one of the waitresses, "I reserved for 8 people, and I see those two tables are empty. May I ask what the hold up is?" She asked for my name, looked up my reservation, confirmed it was there, and then told me, "It was canceled." I asked, "What was the reason? I've been here." She replied, "You never checked in before 4:00 PM." Which in fact I did, and security even confirmed that I had arrived before 4:00 PM. Despite that, no one was willing to honor my reservation. At that point I told her, "Only three people from my party of eight are here. Can we just get a table for the three of us?" She spoke with another waitress, and they came back saying it would be standing room only. I asked, "Why?" Again, they referred me back to my supposedly canceled reservation. By now I was beyond frustrated. While they spent another five minutes trying to "figure something out," I continued watching people walk up, give their names, and immediately be seated. Meanwhile, the two reserved tables for eight were still sitting empty. Then I was told, "The best we can do is standing room at the bar, or you can stand anywhere in the restaurant with one of the cocktail tables, but there's a $100 minimum per person." That requirement was never advertised or mentioned when I made my reservation. I reminded her, "This isn't my first time here." She simply replied, "Or you can stand at the bar. No minimum." At that point, it was so close to game time that I just wanted to get inside. We were never greeted--menus were simply placed in front of us. And throughout all of this, those two reserved tables for eight remained empty. The biggest lie I heard all afternoon was, "We're at capacity." I must have heard that at least 10 times. If Mandala was truly at capacity, how were people continuously walking in without reservations and being seated? Why were guests with confirmed reservations turned away while empty reserved tables sat untouched? Thankfully, the game was delayed until 6:00 PM, which gave us enough time to leave and take our business elsewhere. This was poor planning, poor communication, misleading reservation practices, and some of the worst customer service I've experienced. I wasted my time, my gas, and what should have been an exciting afternoon watching the Mexico game with family and friends. I expected much better from a place I'd enjoyed before. Instead, I left feeling ignored, frustrated, and completely disappointed. I rest my case.

There are about 6 talented bartenders who work the bar and each of them bring a unique portfolio to mixology. Let's get back to Amanda! One of my friends who was visiting from Hawaii found Amanda on social media and asked that I take her to Kuduowl to experience this unique mixology. We were greeted warmly by Amanda and she explained the concept of the bar and the drink options. All were absolutely beautifully crafted and served! Delicious! I had a drink a few years ago (Sloe Gin Ramos) and not many bartenders know how to make it, nor do they want to take the time to make it. Amanda and Chris jumped right in and made it (takes 10-15 minutes to make). It was delicious and the preparation was a show! Loved it. All bartenders, servers, and bar backs were working in unison, like an orchestra. You could tell they all enjoyed their jobs and coworkers! It made for a beautiful ambiance. The bar welcomes everyone - from old to young, from gay to straight, and a rainbow of diversity of ethnic backgrounds! This has to be my favorite bar in Southern California! Bravo Amanda & team!
