order and find seating! inside + outside seating and tables for small and large groups menu includes drinks, breakfast, snacks, and lunch. we ordered a montecristo sandwich and the mango sticky rice pancake to share montecristo sandwich: not greasy at all and VERY filling, plenty of mayo and cheese was so easy to eat mango sticky rice pancake: yummy coconut mango sauce/puree, topped with whipped cream and mango. bit of a mochi chewy texture, maybe has rice flour? soo so so good, filling breakfast + drink for 2 was $25/per person. cute ambiance and decor inside. excellent food, friendly service! no wait before the brunch rush BTW read more

Food I've been to arize bistro a couple of times and I have to say that I've been hooked by their food, which is a good mix of brunch with asian flavors. First off, the reason I wanted to try this place was the mango Sticky rice pancakes. The pancakes themselves were made well, nice and fluffy, the flavor was pretty good and loved the addition of all the mango that added to the freshness of it. It's a bit on the sweeter side though, so I would be wary of that. Another time I came I ordered the thai tea pancakes, which I wasn't too much a fan of. Still loved the pancakes themselves, but I found the overall dish a bit too sweet and the addition of the boba I think doesn't fit well with the pancake. I also ordered an omelette and definitely loved their omelette, as it's a big serving and just the right amount of saltiness to balance their sweet dishes. Service/Ambiance Arize Bistro is a self order place wherein you order from a counter and find a table. The staff that work there are nice and I love the small local restaurant vibe it has, as it gives a hidden gem type feel. Service is relatively quick and this would definitely not be the last time I come back read more

Food was pretty good! I thought it was expensive but I was able to take some togo so it's relatively good portions. I gave three stars because I didn't think the food was mind-blowing, but it was still satisfying. The Thai tea was good too but not the best I've had. The pistachio matcha was really yummy though! If you like pistachio flavor you'll enjoy it, but it lies more on the artificial pistachio flavor side and the matcha is a powder similar to something from Starbucks. The place is super cute and definitely a good spot for a date or to get brunch. The workers are all super nice and helpful too! I would come back to definitely try more of the drinks like the lemonades which they have a lot of flavors of. read more

Another one of those overhyped spots all over IG. We came specifically for the mango sticky pancakes because if you know me, you know I can't resist anything mango sticky rice-inspired. We ordered the chicken n' waffles and the mango sticky pancakes. Chicken n' Waffles (2/5): The chicken was made with thinly sliced breast meat that was heavily breaded, which left it overcooked and extremely dry. The waffles themselves were pretty average and nothing memorable. Mango Sticky Pancakes (0/5): Unfortunately, this dish completely missed the mark. Everything tasted artificial, and it lacked the fresh, rich flavors you'd expect from a mango sticky rice-inspired dessert. Safe to say we won't be returning. read more

Joined my friend for brunch today at Arize Bistro and it did not disappoint. After seeing reels about this place I was so excited to try them out. We walked right in before the crowds came in and we placed our order at the counter and the food was brought out to us. Inside was cute and had tables set up as well as some out on their patio. We got the mango sticky rice sauce pancakes and The Usual which consists of 2 eggs with sausage, bacon, or ham, served with kale salad, seasoned red skin potatoes, and a biscuit. We got the bacon which was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were amazing! The pancakes were awesome and hit the sweet spot for us as we shared both entrees. Great service and fabulous food! Definitely a place to check out! read more

This place is the place to be. Super cute vibes in and out, and the menu is unbeatable. I had their baja baby skillet, and it was a little spicy but still delish. The chorizo was pretty greasy, and I wouldn't get this again. But trying my mom's hot asian omelet made me envious because it was so fluffy and not oily at all. I need to get that myself the next time I am here. I think what really influenced me to give this restaurant a 5 is due to their famous mango sticky rice pancakes. The sauce is soooooo good. The pancakes taste like they were made using rice flour. Wasn't heavy at all. You need to try these!!! I can't wait to come again for these pancakes and eat some more of their yummy brunch meals. read more

Arize Bistro - sticky rice mango pancakes and hot asian omelet! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Like I mentioned before, my family and I are on a mission to try 1-2 new breakfast spots each month because of how much we love breakfast food. This was the second stop on our list, and it turned out to be a great choice. Since the restaurant is on the smaller side, it can get pretty crowded on weekends. We decided to go on a weekday morning instead and were seated right away, which made for a relaxed start to our meal. The menu has a solid variety of options, so we already know we'll be back to try more. For food, my wife ordered the Monte Cristo along with a passion fruit lemonade. The sandwich was good overall, though it leaned a bit more savory than I personally prefer--I tend to like my Monte Cristos on the sweeter side, so I would've preferred a little less mustard. That said, the passion fruit lemonade was excellent and an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys a refreshing, fruity drink. I went with the Belly Bomb Panini and added sausage to take it up a notch. Flavor-wise, it delivered, but the bread did get soggy fairly quickly. It didn't bother me much, though I know texture can be a dealbreaker for some people. What really stood out for me was the Starburst lemonade--it was easily my favorite drink of the meal, and I couldn't get enough of it. For our son, we ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Sauce Pancakes, which ended up being a hit for all of us. He especially loved them, and honestly, we didn't even need syrup. The combination of the sticky rice sauce, whipped cream, and mango created the perfect balance of sweetness. My only wish is that the portion came with a bit more sauce and fruit. Overall, we were really happy with both our visit and our food choices. There are definitely some standout items here that are worth trying, and we're looking forward to coming back and adding more favorites to our list. read more

Came in on a Saturday morning at 9 AM. You order at the counter then seat yourself. Grab your own water. We ordered the mango sticky rice pancakes and fried chicken and rice. The gravy for the fried chicken was good, chicken was crispy. The coconut rice was not very coconut but still good. The pancakes were very sweet with mango on top. For two people it was enough food. The pancakes were almost like a dessert. We got the pistachio latte and lemonade which was also very sweet. read more

Decided to give this place a shot for brunch and the food was good. I think my scoring for this review is low because it's very expensive. The portion is a pretty nice size but I just don't think it's worth the price. You order and then you sit. The mimosas were okay ; I would prefer a juice instead of like pumps of syrup. read more

Arize Bistro - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food looks beautiful but sadly no flavor!! The eggs were soaking wet ( I ordered scrambled eggs) I ask to send them back and the gentleman offered for them to cook them more! By this he meant taking the eggs that sat for 15 minutes wet next to me until he returned to ask us how we were doing then they tried recooking the eggs! Mind you when you order you pay! You have no idea what you're getting yourself into until it's in front of you. Staff was friendly but unfortunately the seasoning wasn't in the food and that egg incident will keep me from returning I forgot to mention that the mimosas are overly priced and really distasteful! Had I known it was coming room temperature in a plastic cup mixed the syrup I would've passed! Taste like Andre's which gave me a terrible headache The one star is due to having leave one for the review to post read more

Food was amazing overall! It's a small shop vibe with a very small dog friendly patio. Service was so kind and attentive - gives you a real family vibe! Mango Sticky Rice pancakes were to die for!! Never had such a good flavor sauce, usually other places taste really artificial but this was tasty. Chicken all around for every plate was great, maybe a little dry but well seasoned. Coconut rice ia the choice of rice to go! Will be back when I'm craving those pancakes and waffles. read more

Great experience at Arize Bistro. The Fried Chicken Biscuit was juicy and flavorful food. The Thai coffee was refreshing. But what amazing service, although it seems they are understaffed. Our order took longer but the food is worth the wait. My friend got the chicken and waffles, which was also amazing. read more

I liked the pancakes, The French toast., The coconut rice, the bacon and the potatoes. I did not like the crumble. Not sure what the mixture is but I don't want to put it in my mouth ever again. It was a long wait for the food. My daughter placed her order online and she got it in 45 minutes. Over all I probably would not visit again. You have to order your food at the counter and then have a seat and wait. read more

My husband and I came here for breakfast on a Saturday and the wait was not bad at all. Overall, their service was great! The staff and owner are super friendly, great ambiance, and really delicious food! We got their chicken and waffles and the mango sticky rice pancakes. Their drinks are okay, I would personally skip them if I went again. We got a vanilla coffee and peach lemonade, but they were too sweet. Other than that, everything was great! read more

Arize Bistro - Mango Sticky Rice Sauce Pancake and fried chicken and waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is definitely a solid brunch spot in Long Beach. I came here last weekend with a few friends, and we were pretty early, about 10am, so finding seating was easy. You order at the front and then they'll bring your food out to you, so no one is really checking on you throughout your dining experience. I ordered the Thai tea boba pancakes and the fried chicken biscuit. The pancakes were not bad, but very unique to add boba on top I thought! The fried chicken was pretty tasty and definitely a lot more chick n than biscuit. The biscuit was thick and dense, but still good. Overall, a good solid breakfast! read more

Walked to Arize this morning, glad we did! Arrived a little after 10:00 joined the waiting list and called within 10 minutes. You enter and order, greeted by a very friendly cashier. She answered questions and offered suggestions. We split the sausage biscuit and mango sticky rice pancakes. My friend got an iced coconut americano. The biscuit was tasty, two sausage patties with 2 slices of American cheese and came with red skinned potatoes. The pancakes were very light and fluffy with mango & whipped cream. The mango sticky rice syrup was tasty but not too sweet. We were both full and plan to back to try waffles! read more

Arize Bistro - Sausage Biscuit & Mango Sticky Rice Sauce Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Ate here last week with my parents after my cousin recommended it so much. Parking is on the street, parking meter most likely. That's what we did anyway. We were greeted by a friendly face. She was very patient as we were first timers here and even recommended some of the more popular items, such as the chicken & waffles plate and the mango rice pancakes. My parents opted for the Baja Baby Skillet which they shared. A bit odd that they don't offer toast with their breakfast plates; instead you get a biscuit. What we all really enjoyed was that salad on their plate. I would take that over toast anyway. So good! The potatoes seemed a bit overcooked for my preference, but good flavor. I ordered the mixed berries French toast and scrambled eggs a la carte. I was surprised by the amount of egg I got but honestly, I was disappointed with the French toast. They claim "4 triangles" which is usually 2 pieces of bread cut in half diagonally, but this was literally just one slice cut in 4 triangles. It was good, but I felt deceived. Haha. I also was expecting mixed berries which is usually any combination of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries; what I got instead was strawberries and two kinds of grapes. No complaints on the fruit as they were delicious and perfect texture. I was just expecting something else. Our coffee was good, a bit on the weaker side but good flavor. We appreciated that they also brought us a bit of milk in addition to the creamer cups. The girl who greeted us and took our order was also who brought us our coffee and food. She checked on us a couple times. Again, very great service, very sweet. I'd return just because of that and maybe try other things on their menu. read more

My husband and I stopped here today. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. It was early on a Monday morning so it wasn't too busy and the vibe was great. Would definitely recommend.

Great place! read more

I can't say much about the ambiance as I didn't sit down. Got to-go order, it was fast in preparation. They have an online order service, which I enjoy very much. In the to-go order, I feel that the price was worth the amount of food we received. I had to take a break and eat the 1/4 residual for a later brunch. Definitely on the radar to go again! read more

I really enjoyed my experience here! The food was sooo good it made me overlook the 45 min wait when there were already available tables- however the pistachio matcha was so good and unique it was worth it! The owner is basically running everything himself so I understand he was busy but that's the only thing i'd say would need to be improved, maybe more staff or at least just a reorganization of the seating process. Nonetheless thank you for letting me indulge in your business! read more

Excitement to disappointment really quick First time going here due to people posting how good the food. If you are hungry don't go here. We arrived 11:30am thinking the wait is not that bad. We waited more than an hour which is fine since our kid was sleeping on the car. We got called and ordered food around 12:43am. We ordered hot drinks to have something while waiting and took them a long time to deliver to our surprise it's not hot! We asked our server if they can at least microwave it. Took them a while too! Our food came at 1:35Pm. And they got wife's order wrong. Smh! I got waffle chicken with is good. I will give it 4 stars My wife did not finish her monte Cristo due to not being good but due to disappointment! While eating they decided to fold the umbrella so we are eating under the hot frigging sun! Ps. Restroom needs maintenance. Needed to pee and the lid was full of poop splatter. You also need to pay first when you order so you are held hostage until you get your food. They are seating people more than they can handle so a lot of people are waiting for so long! We see the faces of disappointment. Food : 4 stars Service : 1.5 stars Restroom: nasty Are we going back here?most Definitely not.. read more

Arize Bistro - Crispy Chicken Waffle, Mango Sticky Rice Sauce Pancake, Monte Cristo. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Really wanted some French toast sandwiches, and we saw them online so we decided to give them a try. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing inside. There was a hodgepodge of things everywhere. The floor is a little uneven and the furniture doesn't really match, but sometimes those kinds of places end up being the best, so we decided to still give it a try. The gentleman at the cashier was super friendly. He greeted everybody who walked in, and as people were leaving, he thanked them as well. We arrived around 11-ish, from the time we ordered, we did not get our food until about 57 minutes later. People who came after us received their food before we did, and all we ordered were French toast sandwiches and potatoes. We did also order matcha drinks. I had a matcha coffee drink and my sister had a matcha Thai tea, and those came out about 15 minutes after we ordered. There were a lot of people coming and going while we were there, but it was still surprising that it took so long for our food to come out. We asked for our sandwiches to not have mayo, but they still came with mayo. Also, the sandwich itself was super soggy. It tasted like wet bread. Usually French toast has a crisp outer layer and a soft center, but this was more like soggy bread with meat, cheese, and mayo, which was very underwhelming. The breakfast potatoes were delicious, they were cooked to perfection. My matcha coffee was also really good. It looked really cute before I shook it up, and the flavors meshed very well. I tried my sister's matcha Thai tea too, and it was even better than mine. If I do return, it will probably just be for the matcha drinks. Customer service was good, but slow, it's just unfortunate how long the food took and how the sandwiches turned out. read more

Basic breakfast, not tasting the Asian fusion. I feel like they miss the opportunity to create amazing dishes. The chicken biscuit was good but missed the spices I would otherwise expect from maybe a Thai flavored fried chicken or any sort of Asian flavors that could have been incorporated. I see on the menu they had more Asian inspired sweet options like mango sticky rice pancakes and boba pancakes though. I didn't try since we aren't sweet breakfast girls. The coconut americano is nice, refreshing. It's an americano made with coconut water. They had a lot of coffee and drink options. This restaurant is very much self serve, you place your order at the front, Pay and get your number and someone will bring it to your table. The server that took the order and brought it to your table was very nice! Condiments in a centralized area so you can help yourself. Cute and cozy vibes. Okay but would not actively crave. read more

Arize Bistro is a small mom n pop spot in downtown Long Beach with a very chill vibe. It really feels like you're eating in grandma's kitchen, which I liked a lot. The food is good, and the menu is simple. It is a bit on the pricier side for what you get, but still enjoyable. They're open for breakfast and lunch, which makes it a nice local spot to stop by. One thing to note takeout can take a little longer than expected. Also, it would be great to see more variety added to the menu and maybe a small facelift to the interior. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10. A solid spot with a cozy feel. read more

Arize Bistro is a super popular place in Long Beach, and I had wanted to see what the hype was about for a while. The restaurant was on the smaller side, and the wait was long, which was expected, but after a while, it seemed to be overly long. The service was pretty mediocre and the food was decent but the presentation of the chicken, waffles, and potatoes just seemed impractical with everything stacked on top of each other. read more

my lovely, perfect, handsome boyfriend found this beaut. we've actually been to this spot one other time back when we first started dating. he wanted me to try the iced pistachio latte & realized shortly after we got it that it wasn't the best, so he vowed to bring me back & try it hot. which was a whole winner. we were finally up early enough for him to remind me of this place. and yes, it's worth getting up early for. i think it's the first time we've publicly fought over foodie items because that mango sticky rice pancake i ordered was amazing. the syrup was perfect. i loved it more than the monte cristo my boyfriend ended up getting (clearly because i barely left any for him, oops) arize bistro is probably the only place i've downed a cup of thai iced coffee. not too bitter, not too sweet. read more

Came in as a party of 3. The wait wasn't too bad. When your table is ready, you go to the front and they have you order at the register before seating you. We got 3 orders of the chicken and waffles then one order of the mango sticky rice inspired pancakes. We waited 50 mins and noticed tables that got sat around the time we did were finishing up and heading out. I finally got up to ask what was going on, if maybe our order was lost, but the gentleman at the front said it was coming. Still it took a few more minutes until our food came out. Chicken and waffles were fine. Wish the waffles weren't so soft. The chicken seemed well battered on some parts then completely bare in others. Thought the potatoes would have some crisp on them but they were just mushy. And we were not fans of the mango sticky rice pancakes. The sauce has a very artificial mango taste. The best thing we ordered was the passion fruit tea. It's obvious that something happened with our food taking so long to come out. The least they could do is check in on us. Guess they don't have to when they make you pay and get their 20% tip before you even get seated. Very disappointing experience. Will not be returning. read more

We had such a great experience on Saturday! We came in around 1:45 ish and there was no wait. Our food came out pretty fast and it was nice and hot. Everything was so delicious!!

Long wait (and I mean long...we waited over an hour for our food) but everything that came out was fresh, yummy, and delicious! Their fried chicken is nothing to sneeze about, it's fresh, crispy, and well seasoned. Every time I found a little craggly end piece I felt like I hit the prize at the bottom of a cereal box. Instant dopamine rush. Kiddos loved their waffles and eggs -- serving size is huge so one plate served two kids (plus hungry adults waiting for their food). Not a destination spot but great if you're in the neighborhood looking to support a local business. read more

Would definitely try again! I ordered the Chicken and Waffles which was ok, it came with syrup and a sweet mayo. Waffle was great, crispy and fluffy, chicken was tasty but had some issues with undercooked batter. I also got a Thai tea, which was decent. The service was good, you order at the front desk and seat yourself. The patio area is very cute but surrounding area is not super scenic. Inside had a nice feel. Overall, my meal wasn't super but I have a feeling their specialty drinks and sweeter brunch options, like the mango sticky rice pancakes, are probably their top items. I will be going back to try more! read more
