This place is located inside Haven City Market. It was my first time here! So many options to choose from and this caught our eye since is Asian-fusion food and was also easy to spot since it is near the entrance. We had the following dishes: * Belly 2 Belly - Overall, this dish this good. But I think the pork belly needs to be crispier. * Tusino (Tusilog) - It is usually spelled as "Tocino". Another yummy dish. The only thing that my friend was not satisfied about is the vinegar. It was kind of watered down. Both dishes had spinach on it, making the dish healthier. Good customer service too and we got our food in a few minutes. read more

FOOD: I ordered the Tusino Bowl on a Friday night. The fried egg had some whites that were still uncooked. The tocino was about 90/10 lean/fatty, but not very flavorful. The vinegar was not vinegary. I suspected it was watered down. There were sliced grape tomatoes and cucumber included but they didn't seem seasoned and were bland. SERVICE: The person who took my order was helpful but distracted by the other things he had to do. I waited less than 10 minutes for the text saying my food was ready. AMBIANCE: I'll save the ambiance review for the Haven City Yelp page since this business is not directly responsible for that. read more

Oh no... I was so misled. I saw their sign immediately as I walked into Haven City. The tri tip looked good, so I thought I'd save time by not having to wander around having trouble deciding what to eat for lunch. I ordered the Tip Me Over Plate with scrambled eggs. The picture said it is an order with tri tip, eggs, tomatoes, tater tots, and chimichurri. You could pay an extra $1 for egg whites only or $1 to get extra chimichurri. It was $23, which is one of the more expensive items on their whole menu. They texted me when the order was ready. I picked up the order and saw they gave me a fork and napkin as well. When I dug into the tri tip, it was so hard to eat. The slices were not cut in the similar thickness. Some were much thicker than others. They should have added more chimichurri because it was lacking flavor. My friends could see I was having a hard time eating. I was so embarrassed that I didn't offer them to try any. This meal was a huge disappointment because I could have cooked at home and saved money OR even eat at the Korean place next door! DO NOT ORDER TRI TIP HERE. Oh, they should have put a knife in the bag too. read more

Gravity is working against me And gravity wants to bring me down... Located inside the main doors at Haven City. 4.75/5 Service Service was straight forward. My wife wanted to make a change on the bowl but wasn't able to. 4/5 Food It was good but when you have another plate of food that has more flavor you naturally gravitate towards it. Belly 2 Belly bowl was good but it was just missing that thing to make it memorable. 4/5 Parking Haven City is located in a crowded shopping center so it can get very packed on the weekends and dinner time.

Really wanted to like this ube pancake but it tasted nothing like ube. It took around 20 minutes after I ordered which is understandable for a soufflé pancake. However, it was not worth the wait. It tasted just like dough, and the cream was the only thing that was flavorful. But the pancake was so hot that the cream evaporated quite fast. It was not a soufflé texture at all. For $20 at a food court setting I expected more. But was only disappointed and know I'll never come back. read more

This "Take ur Seat Lite" location is located in the Haven City food hall in West Covina (right by the entrance). I've been to their other locations in Chino Hills and Ontario. I enjoyed their brunch at the restaurants location. The West Covina location has a limited menu but they still have some of the main food from the restaurant menu. Food: - Rendaaang Curry Bowl - It was meh, I wasn't a fan of it - TUSino Bowl - This was super delicious, full of flavor and tender. I think I will go back again and get the TUSino bowl or belly 2 belly. - Cloud Pancake - These are amazing if you haven't tried their cloud soufflé style pancake. It's so soft and fluffy. I will come back to try other stuff on the menu. The staff are very friendly and helpful on providing feedbacks on the menu. read more

Location: haven city market in West Covina I have come here a few times now and you will notice that most places can be ordered through a self service monitor, but there are people there if you have questions. It is a different combination of American brunch and Filipino breakfast, but what got me was the sample plates of food sitting at the counter. The first plate was of garlic noodles and shrimp. I am always on the hunt for some good garlic noodles and this place did not disappoint. They add shrimp that are quite large, like prawn size, approximately 6 of them. It is a bit pricey, with a little tip it came to $20, but it was worth it. I had to save a little less than half ;) for my better half to try the deliciousness. Definitely coming back here. read more

Stopped by The Haven Food Market in Covina and roamed around trying food from different spots. I had a craving for fries with my meal and decided to order the TUS Style Fries from Take Ur Seat Lite. All I can say is these fries did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and definitely hit the spot. It's the kind of side that makes you want to come back just to try the rest of the menu. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of what they offer. read more

The fries were crispy and enjoyable, but the tri-tip steak was a little dry and lacked flavor. The chimchurri sauce didn't add much to the dish either.

Take Ur Seat Lite - *TUS Style Fries with Tri Tip (Medium) - Asian Fusion Near Me - West Covina, California

I came by Haven City WC to have lunch with a buddy of mine. He had tried Take Ur Seat Lite at this location numerous times so we decided to dine here. They are located in the middle of main entrance. Since it's in Haven city, the foot traffic can get busy, but there are plenty of tables nearby. We browsed the menu on the kiosk and happened to see a Longanisa Breakfast Sandwich. Say less, we both were sold on trying it for ourselves. LOL. It's price at $16 and comes with fries. Just note, the breakfast sammies were not on the physical menu, but listed on the kiosk. The service is pretty much self serve since you can order on the kiosk and wait for the text once it's ready. Our orders didn't take too long to be completed. The TUS Longa-Sammy was loaded up with that fluffy egg, cheese, on a delicious brioche bun. It was tremendous. A true bite of Filipino breakfast in each bite. I'd always been a fan of longanisa as a traditional filipino protein and put it in sandwich form then I'm automatically gonna like it. I didn't know TUS had breakfast sammies at all. Now that I had a chance to try them I'd recommend it. The Longa-Sammy is a great choice at any time of day. Thanks, TUS Lite! read more

Super friendly staff and amazing and delicious food. Prefer the pandan over the brulee soufflé pancake because it was more flavorful and had the right amount of cream / syrup to go with it. The breakfast burrito and loganisa sausage was good, the spam musubi is delicious and the so were the pancakes! read more

Take Ur Seat Lite - Mie So Eggcited (swapped the protein with spam) -- bottom Pandan Cloud Pancake -- top - Asian Fusion Near Me - West Covina, California

Take Ur Seat Lite is their smaller location, but they still offer a good selection of options. They were especially reliable for takeout as everything was clearly labeled and packaged neatly. *Ur In My Tots: standard tater tots with a light dusting of Parmesan cheese and furikake. The $12 price tag felt a bit steep, especially since half the tots were plain. Some special sauces would have helped elevate the flavors and justify the cost *TUS Style Musubi: a spicier version that worked well, since the Spam was not covered in the usual sweet glaze. The rice was warm but lacked flavor, so the spicy mayo carried the dish. The cut of Spam could have been thicker to balance the two thick layers of rice. *Iced Jasmine Pandan Sweet Tea: incredibly strong jasmine tea with a fragrant aroma. The pandan flavoring added a subtle coconut-like sweetness that complemented the tea. *Ube Cloud Pancake: the pancake was denser than other Japanese pancakes I have tried, but the coconut cream helped mask some of the dryness. The jackfruit added brightness without being overly sweet, which paired nicely with the earthy ube base. Since the pancake itself was not too sweet, the cloud toppings provided a balanced finish. Overall, the Asian inspired dishes were better executed and more appropriately priced compared to the traditional American options. The food leaned toward the drier side, so I would be cautious about choosing items that do not include a sauce. read more

Soft Fluffy pancakes . They open around 9AM. I think it's a family run business. We went early brunch time and it hit the spot. The menu diisplay of their many dishes already invites you to try them all. I got the Ube version as well as the pandan flavor. I took it home, just request the icing to be on the side . The take out packaging is very pleasing to the eye, and well developed. Taste is on point , when you take that 1st bite, it is just dreamy, mmm mmm good. Good for brunch, good for lunch read more

Take Ur Seat Lite - Tip Me Over Plate - Asian Fusion Near Me - West Covina, California

I've been to Haven City of West Covina many times now. I've tried many of the food offerings, and have found numerous places as "most favorite" to "pretty good" to "it's ok". It took me some time to get around to trying this place out. Having beautiful & delicious looking pancakes, topped with cream and fresh fruit. Unfortunately, I'm more of a savory than a sweet person. So I end up ordering the Big 5 breakfast plate. After finishing my meal, I wasn't overly happy with the amount of food that I got, as I was still slightly hungry, after eating my average size breakfast that you can get at Ihop or Dennys for under $10. And my over-easy eggs were over cooked. The price was pretty steep, $21 for an average tasting breakfast. But, I will come back and give them another try, as I saw other options with noodles and what not. read more

It's located immediately to the righthand side of Haven City Market if you enter through the front area. I have heard of the original Take Ur Seat, so I'm glad to try the lite version that has opened nearby. You order via a kiosk and they text you when your order is ready. There's discounts for badge holders (medical, education, service, etc.), seasonal specials, and you can always order to go and pick it up as well. Decor is cute, very pink and bright. Love the pink neon lights and flowers. Food came out decently quickly and the worker was friendly and helpful. I ordered to eat it there but couldn't finish and they gave me a lid to take it to go. I got the Ube Brulee French toast. It comes with a side of ube spread and some banana and strawberry slices. It can get a bit messy with the gooey-ness of the ube. Really enjoyed the crackling of the brulee at the top of the toast. Just know that it can get pretty sweet and would have gone down a bit better with a glass of milk to be honest. Fruit slices were a bit mushier and riper than I would have liked, but that might be personal preference. I'd come back to try their other dishes! read more

Ube cloud pancakes (5.0) I'm usually not a fan of souffle pancakes because the ones I've had before are too dry and reminiscent of chiffon cake, which I don't like. But this is the best souffle pancake I've tried so far in terms of taste and texture! It's so fluffy without being dry because it has more of a creamy, whipped texture. The pancake flavor itself isn't bland with its hint of ube flavor that doesn't taste too artificial. The classic pairing of ube & coconut is enhanced with the bits of jackfruit. TUS has quickly become my favorite spot because each dish really hits. I've never been disappointed by the flavor of any of the 5 dishes I've tried so far. The only downside is how busy Haven City gets on the weekend, making it hard to find parking. read more

10/10 for catering! Thankful for TUS! Had a small baby shower after Thanksgiving and wanted to have a little early breakfast with a small group of 20. Haven City only allows food from the food hall, so I'm thankful that Take Ur Seat and Local Coffee (also in Haven City) were open super early and was nice enough to help us cater our little event. Shout out to Fera (hope I spelled that right), she was super helpful and accommodating. Make sure you at least have a week in advance to place your order. The prices were decent for A half tray of steak $100, tater tots $40 and half tray of creme brûlée French toast was also about $40! It fed our party of 20 perfectly! Prices may vary so just ask to see their options. I wish they had a print out of the prices but I think they ran out when we visited. Nonetheless it was a smooth experience. Make sure to reach out to TUS for catering your next big or small event! read more

We had pretty high expectations but the food just didn't deliver. Didn't help that service was also super slow. We got the rendang bowl. Did not taste like rendang at all. Beef kinda dry. Rice super mushy. It's not spicy, except maybe for the jalapeno sambal. It's not representative of the actual rendang dish & honestly it's just not a good beef bowl dish imo. The tri tip plate was so sad. It looks so less, beef was cold, you gotta dip into the chimichurri for it to be alive. And don't even look at the sad serving of grilled tomato. We waited 20+ minutes. When we got the food, they were cold. We suspected they had been sitting in the back for while but they serve. We came by the counter to check but they weren't in front. Didn't look like they were super busy with people ordering or picking up so I'm not sure what was the hold up. I'm glad we didn't bother with the souffle pancake. It's featured & looks so good but... that's all i've got to say. read more

This was a great spot to stop by for lunch the other day and I'm glad I decided to stop by. I got the Rendang Curry Bowl and it was delicious! Take Ur Seat Lite at the Haven City Market serves Filipino-inspired fusion breakfast and lunch with entrees like their longanisa bowl or their ube cloud pancakes. The curry bowl I got was delicious with plenty of tender meat over rice and the fried egg helped balance the richness and there was plenty of rendang flavor and spice to combine for an overall enjoyable bowl! The staff were friendly and welcoming and happily answered any questions I had regarding the menu and the the shop front had a clean aesthetic and I had my food ready within 10 minutes. I like that they are the first shop you see when you walk in and there's plenty of seating right across from where they are setup. read more

If there's one breakfast meat I love the most it's tocino. Those slightly sweet, sometimes char-grilled, pork tenders has consistently hit the spot for a great breakfast ulam or even with just plain vanilla two eggs with toast and hash brown meal. Take Ur Seat Lite at the Haven City Market nails this breakfast staple easily. While it may not have the signature bright red hue that most Tocino has, theirs has the succulent pork--juicy and joyous--with that awesome sweet kick of heaven in every bite. I loved it. The staff was awesome and eating it in a food hall environment actually works if you're on the go or, like me, just wants a nice place to enjoy my food and sit back to read after. Nobody rushing to turn over the table and nobody asking you if for anything else order-wise makes for a nice ambiance. read more

I would give this place a 4.5/5, but since I cannot give partial stars, I am rounding it up because staff were friendly, helpful, and provided good recommendations. You can order at the tablet or they can also take your order verbally at the register. 1. Berry Good Cloud Pancake (5/5) These pancakes are similar to the Japanese soufflé pancakes, but are a little bit less eggy, jiggly and fluffy. Nonetheless, they are still quite airy, light and delectable. The cream on top was not too sweet and had a good milky and fruity flavor. The overall pancake had a strong cinnamon flavor, which was not in the description for this dish, so not sure where that flavoring is coming from, but I liked it. It's perfect to share between 2-3 people so that it's not too filling. 2. TUS Style Fries add Tri-Tip (4/5) Massive amount of cajun fries topped with a generous amount of caramelized onions and furikake (sesame seed with seaweed) flakes. It normally comes layered with their spicy mayo sauce, but because we decided to add Tri-tip steak, they recommend us to get it with their green sauce instead, which would complement the steak better. We opted to follow their recommendations and so glad we did. The spicy mayo would've been too heavy. The cajun fries alone were very salty, so do be careful on not over-indulging if you have high blood pressure. Base price of $12-13 +$10 for the tri-tip, which we thought was a bit too steep, especially since the tri-tip quality was not even the best. This is a must-share dish unless you want to end up in a carb food coma. Price aside, we would say the experience was good and we would come back to try other dishes here. read more

I enjoyed the original Take Ur Seat in Chino Hills, so definitely had to try Take Ur Seat Lite at HCMWC. We only ordered the TUS Fries and added pork. The staff were super friendly and helpful as I had a few questions about the menu. The stand also is cute, clean and in a great spot at the main entrance of the market. Back to the food. The fries were well seasoned and cooked to a perfect crispiness. The green sauce was so delicious, I really wish they give you a little side of sauce because it's only drizzled on top. The pork wasn't crispy (which is what I was expecting), but had a good flavor. My only complaint is the amount of onions that are included in this dish, like, there's a thick blanket of onions between the meat and fries. Luckily we added the pork (for the surprisingly high fee of $8!), otherwise, the dish would've just been onions and fries? read more

This is one of the eateries at West Covina's Haven City. The employee at the front was very nice. We ordered the tip me over plate which included eggs, tri-tip steak, and tater tots. The plate was pretty filling and delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and was tender. It was topped with chimichurri sauce I believe which added wonderful flavor. Their fluffy pancakes also look really good and we'll have to come back to try them. There was lots of seating available since it's basically in a large food court. Parking is difficult to find during peak times. Although the parking lot is big, there are other stores and businesses that share the lot with haven city. read more

Highly recommend trying this place at Haven City. You can order at the counter or at the tablet if you're like me and get too shy to talk. They also have cute little food displays so you can see how it'll look. The fluffy pancakes make such cute pictures, but unfortunately I wasn't in charge of ordering dessert this day so it was skipped, but I'll be back for it. Instead, I ordered the TUS style fries and a side of belly on fire. TUS style fries - Super crispy fries covered in a generous layer of sauce and furikake. It's actually large and recommended to share between 2-3 people as the portion was huge. Belly on Fire - Spicy pork belly with their sauce. Highly recommend as well because it was sweet and spicy If you're trying to skip out on the rice, just order the two like we did and pour the pork belly over the fries. The combination gets even better. I know we made the right choice when it smelled and looked so good another family came to ask us what it was and where to get it. read more

This is a casual dining experience located in the Haven City Market. I went on a Tuesday night. There was no wait at all and the food came out in about 10 minutes. I went up to the counter and ordered from a touch screen monitor, and a worker was at the counter too if I had any questions. I order the Belly on Fire dish. It came with pork belly, spinach, a poached egg, and rice. The pork belly had some spicy sauce on it. It wasn't too spicy, though. It had a similar spice level to sriracha. The pork belly was pretty tender and not dry. Everything was well seasoned and not overly salty. My only complaint was that my egg yolk was not very runny. Overall, I had a good experience, but wasn't blown away by my meal. However, I would still come back to try other things on their menu. read more

Take Ur Seat Lite is a new Asian American fusion that serve brunch and dinner in West Covina. It's located within Haven City Market. They have modest selection of food and cold drinks. Exterior was aesthetically decorated. A fully operational order kiosk is available for faster service as well as staff cashier. I ordered an OJ, veggiecado toast and a berry cloud soufflé pancake. Food tastes good and modest in flavor. OJ was refreshing albeit reg size is too small. Service was on point. Staff was affable and competent. Prices are tad pricey. Atmosphere was very relaxing.

Belly on Fire [8/10]: I really like how the pork belly pieces contain chunks of meat and not just pork belly fat. The sauce isn't spicy at all and tastes like gochujang. I also liked the texture of the rice and the egg and spinach that comes with it. A very hearty meal. There is a self service kiosk which makes ordering super easy. The food also came out in less than 10 minutes. This is located inside the Haven City market in West Covina and it was packed on a Friday night.

We've been here a few times and totally enjoy their decadent breakfast items (more like dessert for breakfast). They're situated next to entrance at Haven City Market. Our favorites are ube cloud pancakes and cream brulee french toast. Ube cloud pancake is so divine and aesthetically pleasing. Pancakes are soft, light and fluffy, not overly sweet. Of course, it jiggles too. Coconut cream, sugar crumbles and pieces of jack fruit provides extra layer of deliciousness. Pancake takes about 20-30 minutes to make, so be prepared to wait. Cream brulee french toast is my personal favorite and really good. Flavor profile is similar to traditional cream brulee, crisp top and custard filling. It served with strawberry, bananas and whipped cream. So beautifully presented, custardy slices of toast under a lid of caramelized sugar waiting to be shattered...yummerz! Besides deserts, we also tried their pork belly bowl which is terrific. Pork is roasted to perfect tenderness served soft bowl egg, sauteed greens and rice. The perfect Filipino comfort food. Ma sarap! Definitely a great place to get your desserts fix and much more. read more

2.75 ish stars- Came by for brunch and found the meal to be average ($40 for two entrees and fries). The ube cloud pancakes does take a while to make (took about 30 min), and the fries/ other entree (pork belly) was cold by the time we ate it. Fries were hard and not worth $5 (I think most of us can air fry it better, unfortunately). For portions- not bad, but the fries sorta ruined the experience read more

Take Your Seat Lite is located on the right as you enter Haven City Market and offers early breakfast hours as well. I decided to give it a try by ordering the Belly 2 Belly Bowl and the Ube Cloud Pancake. The Belly 2 Belly Bowl was fantastic and incredibly filling. It came with rice, pork belly, spinach, a poached egg, and green onions, and I even had leftovers for another meal. However, while I usually love a good soufflé pancake, the Ube Cloud Pancake was a bit disappointing. It wasn't as fluffy as expected and didn't jiggle at all, so it felt more like a thick regular pancake. The topping of coconut cream and jackfruit bits was a nice touch, making it a decent sweet treat, but not something I'd order again. That's why I knocked off one star. That said, the rest of the brunch menu looks delicious, and I'd definitely come back to try other items. read more

Take Ur Seat Lite offers an interesting experience. I ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice Omelette ($16) and Ube Cloud Pancake ($16) at 8:30AM on a weekend. There's no line, and I waited 23 minutes. The Kimchi Fried Rice Omelette is tasty. However, the portion is small for its price. It includes eggs, kimchi, rice, spam, and pork belly. The egg is velvety and fluffy. The rice had a welcomed, savory warmth. The pork belly is little but tender. The spam was the most flavorful meat. The Ube Cloud Pancake tasted like air. Its texture is cotton candy and a sponge cake. Unfortunately, I barely taste ube. Rather, the most prominent flavor is the Cream and Caramel drizzle. The Ube Cloud Pancake is aesthetically pleasing but forgettable in taste. Despite the lengthy wait and average food, the service is exemplary. I am adding one star just from the wonderful service. My server (Natalie) is professional, helpful, and welcoming. Natalie offered a tour of the menu; Natalie even repeatedly welcomed me to Take Ur Seat Life with a bright smile. The service at the register is top notch. Concerning ambiance, the location is clean. There's places to eat inside and outside. The location is located inside the New Haven Building, and "yes" the doors can be opened despite the early hour. They're just very heavy doors. Also, the location feels very safe since a security guard wanders the outside premises. Overall, Take Ur Seat Life offers okay food with exemplary service. 3.5/5 read more

I usually go to Take Ur Seat in Chino and was pleasantly surprised they have one closer to me. The menu, of course, is not as extensive as the sit down version of this restaurant but good nonetheless. We had an exceptional experience because the manager was the one who took our order. We ordered the Sweet Chicken Bowl and the Ube Pancake. Good portions and was enough for two people to share. My first time having the pandan sweet tea and it was sooooo good. Please try if you like sweet tea. We came here around 2pm on a Friday afternoon. Not too busy compared to the weekend lunch and weeknight dinner rushes. read more
