This place has fresh, unique dishes that you just can't find elsewhere. The menu has an assortment of both sweet and savory crepes. The salads are dressed with a delicious raspberry vinagrette. They also have a very good hummus appetizer. Located conveniently in Uptown Whittier and reasonably priced. Very good service, too.

The food is always good, very good prices, and a very laidback atmosphere. The service is great, very friendly, and personally I find it very refreshing that this is a Japanese restaurant that doesn't have its head up its @ss - they're not trying to be hip and trendy, and they're not making a fashion statement or trying to be chic with the decor or atmosphere. They make the best teriyaki and tempura, and thats all that matters here.
The complaint I always get whenever I bring friends is that there's no sushi - This is NOT A SUSHI BAR. I always get some sashimi (usually they bring out tuna and/or yellowtail) and its always fresh and tasty, though I admit its not as good as other places that actually specialize in raw fish.
But the point of going to Amachi is teriyaki and tempura. Their teriyaki sauce is just the way I like it - its not a thick syrupy consistency and its not too sweet, so it doesn't feel like you're eating pancakes and you actually get to taste your meat. I also recommend trying their shumai pork dumplings.
Pros: Delicious food with very good prices
Cons: Nothing! If you want sushi go somewhere else, if you want fancy go somewhere else.

Great little local place that is easy to miss, their sushi is fresh and delicious. The owner is so kind and is always helpful, should try to sit at sushi bar and with John as your sushi chef. There are always new waitresses that are college students and they are never organized. And the restaurant closes from 2:30-5 p.m. for lunch and they are closed every Monday, overall very much worth it.
You will not be disappointed.
Pros: Fresh sushi, great experience, sit at bar.
Cons: There are always new waitresses which are not organized

My friends and I go eat there all the time, we love the ribs and steaks especially service, The waitresses are down home that treat you like family, Also like one of the waitesses also tells us,"sit back and watch the show" "and enjoy your dinner or lunch"If you want fast and great service with a flirtacious smile and the best customer service just look for the small framed waitress with the dimples . All the waitresses are great.Try it out for yourself.
Pros: affordable, downhome, big portions
Cons: closed mondays, only 5 left

I've lived in Whittier for 9 years, there are only a handful of great spots in the city! Spin is a boasts excellent food, creative delicous drinks and a relaxed atmosphere. They have nightly specials Martini Mondays, and Wine Wednesdays (I know I sound like a lush, Ive only been ther 2X) The food is amazing, cocunut shrimp with real coconuts served with orange marmalade, chicken tacos served with a mango salsa, delicous!! And for happy hour its so affordable, the homemade sangria was only 2.50 a glass, yummy! They also have a few big screen tv's. Great spot to go with friends for happy hour during the week.
Pros: great food, great michiladas, good service,
Cons: little too dark,

Back when i was attending Whittier College, a group of us would always meet at the 6740 to unwind. The food is reasonably priced and good...try the nachos and wings. They offer a great selection of beer at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is pretty chill and the service is friendly- lots of regulars. A great hangout spot overall! Check out their website for their menu.

Red Oak doesn't carry the classic BBQ like you'd find at Lucille's. It's the sauce-less variety where the word BBQ mainly refers to the method of preparation. I was a little puzzled at first but then found myself eating the best pork loin dip sandwich EVAR! I'm a sort of dip sandwich fanatic, so this place was right up my alley. My girlfriend ate the pulled pork bbq sandwich which she absolutely died for.
Service is always great, though spelling errors fill the menu, but then again when's the last time you needed a college degree to cook a good pork loin??
Sweet Potato Casserole too sweet for appetizer = Eat as a dessert. You'll enjoy it more.
Pros: Pork Loin Sandwich, Good Service, Good food in general, Located in Beautiful Uptown Whittier!
Cons: Place looks a little shabby

75 cent tacos!!!! This is a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant with an authentic mexican menu and great value. The food is made with fresh ingredients and prepared when you order. It is a clean environment with friendly staff and good location right in uptown Whittier. I love their tacos (only 75 cents) and delicious sopes. Their adobada (marinated pork) is delicious on any order! Also try their homemade Horchata (rice water) and Aguas Frescas (fresh fruit and vegetable juices) made right when you order, delicious and healthy! They also have more meal-like specials like breakfasts in the morning and menudo on the weekends.
Pros: Authentic Food, Clean Environment, Great Price, Good location
Cons: Wish they had fresh cilantro and tomato salsa on display with their red and green salsas
