Absolutely delish

All the food was amazing! I was very glad the non-v fans also enjoyed the food. The staff was friendly. We came right at 12 so service was quick. All the food, including the salad, were so flavorful.

Pros: Absolutely delicious food, Very impressive egg substitute, Drinks were very refreshing

Cons: It's far from me

I ordered the wet burrito, which was fantastic! The whole menu looks pretty good, so I really think any of it will be a delight.

Cons: NA

Wish I had one in San Diego!

The loco moco was on point. The flavors, along with the grilled onions and amazing mushrooms, were amazing! I totally agree with why The Mustard Seed exists. Adam & Eve were vegan from the start.

Unique and Tasty

We got take out for dinner. So interested to have vegan Hawaiian food. The crab cakes were awesome. The Happy Hawaiian bowl with spam was very tasty, I get again. My wife got the miso tofu crunch wrap, also really tasty. My son got the Philly cheesesteak wrap and Cajun fries. Both were good after reheating. Had the peach beneigts for dessert, yummy.

Pros: All vegan, Unique items, Tasty

Cons: Kind of a small menu, Pricy

Hawaiian Comfort Food

This is a unicorn - offering Hawaiian style food that’s vegan and broke da mouth onolicious! 🤤
This is my 4th time and tried the Happy Hawaiian since I’ve had the Loco Moco the previous times. The spam was unreal!
They also offer GF options (my husband is gluten intolerant) and he loves the taco bowl and the crispy tacos.
The portions are way generous so bring your appetite!
Please support this 100% vegan, minority owned business. These places are disappearing too fast here in LA. 🙁

Pros: Great all vegan + delicious food, Generous portions , Minority owned with friendly and helpful employees

Excellent

Great vegan food and great vibes. The staff are always friendly and attentive, the restaurant is clean and modern, and the food is delicious. I tried the Happy Hawaiian with spam and also with fried chicken, and it was great with both options. Well worth checking out.

Pros: Friendly , All vegan , Free and easy parking lot

Excellent food and menu

The Mustard Seed delivers a solid take on plant-based comfort food with thoughtful flavors and textures. The Crispy BLT was a standout—perfectly crisp, with the tempeh bacon adding just the right amount of smoky depth to bring everything together. It hit all the right notes for a satisfying sandwich.

For the Loco Moco, I swapped in the “steak” option, which turned out to be a great choice. The flavor profile reminded me of a mushroom stroganoff—rich and savory. While delicious, it could have used a touch more balance—maybe a hint of spice or a crack of fresh pepper to round things out.

To drink, I went with one of their sodas, which was refreshingly not too sweet. That might not be everyone’s preference, but I appreciated its lighter taster.

Overall, The Mustard Seed impressed with well-executed dishes and interesting flavor combinations.

Pros: Great Crispy BLT, Not too sweet soda

Loved the vibe and loved the food! Everything was delicious - I couldn’t pick a favorite! Would come here constantly if we lived nearby.

Also service was phenomenal and it is so peaceful and lovely!

Spendy Vegan Eats in Cerritos

Nice* find near where I’m staying! Even omni-approved, minus some of them didn’t appreciate the texture of the Chick’n’ in the Alfredo pasta or the herbs on the vegetables, but they still enjoyed the bread!

I loved the flavors of the nachos - my bestie ordered and they liked the pasta and bread. I got the crispy Chick’n’ BLT. Good and a HUGE portion, I was set for the day. For what we ordered, I think pricing was elevated, imo - could also be the economy.

Updated from previous review on 2025-03-16

Pros: Fully Vegan/Plant-Based in Cute Establishment, Nachos Flavors and Textures (for me), Crispy Chick’n’ BLT Wrap Good and Huge Portion

Cons: Elevated Pricing for Dishes Ordered (+$20 plates), Drinks Served in Plastic Cups w/Straws

I’ve been here multiple times with non-vegans and it’s always a hit. They update their menu from time to time so there is always something new and tasty to try.

Pros: Great drink selection , Good food variety

This place is AMAZING

Almost every player I’ve had is incredible. Their Mexican burrito is my go to but you can’t go wrong with their crunchy tacos. The staff is also super friendly. The owner is one of the nicest guys as well.

Anyone will enjoy it

Still on tour out here in Cali! Happycow and my mental appetite led me here(and some other great reviews).

Although I'm not big on the "vegan" title or any title period I am happy that there are places that meet ppl where they are when it comes to food. At no point will this world ever be one accord with what we consume and that's OK!

So I said ALL that to say that if you are new to transitioning to not eating animals, visit here!

If you are looking to eat less meat and want something that mimics your favorite meat dish, visit here!

It doesn't matter where you are on your lifestyle journey you'll find something here you'll like/love and enjoy.

I ordered the philly cheestake wrap, peach cobbler beignet & regular beignet. I also got a large half and half of their fresh in house juice, cucumber mint with strawberry hibiscus (I don't remember exactly but it was 😋).
The wrap was LOADED with sauteed veggies so that made me love it even more 💜💜💜. I ate only half and shared the other half with my sis.
I never had no peach cobbler beignet and New Orleans ain't got NOTHING on this creation here‼️ NOTHING‼️👀😄
Glad I took the chance and stopped here it was well worth it. The atmosphere and customer service was spectacular too! I had a question about what cheese they use & although it took a few minutes to find out they got an answer for me😇. If I lived here I'd be a frequent customer 💜.

Pros: Peach cobbler beignet , Fresh inhouse made juice, Atmosphere

Good food

The food here is extraordinary and clean. I would say the customer service is lacking. They didn't check on me once during my visit. I'd still love to come back and explore the rest of their menu

Where are the greens?

One thing I noticed about Mustard Seed, the lack of greens or veggies. I think the junk food vegans would enjoy this but I'm about healthier options and not fast food style. I didn't see any kale, broccoli, napa cabbage, any greens at all other than romaine lettuce.

Msg to the MS: stop using so much oil in everything! It's not healthy, add some unfried tofu, some fresh veggies that are not doused in oil & salt. I won't be back as there isn't a thing I could eat there that I consider a healthy meal. Very disappointed in Mustard Seed.

Pros: Great for the fast food vegan crowd, Good for another that's not health conscience.

Cons: Not good for those that want to eat a clean diet. , All the excess oil, Mostly junk food

Friendly service

A lot of mock meats. I would give it 4 stars if they didn’t use so much oil. They even put oil in their rice.

Food is delicious

Went their a couple of weeks back to attend a meetup. They allow dogs inside which is why we could take our three little babies. Their chicken tenders were absolutely bomb. So was their crab cakes. Also tried their steak wrap. All of the food was delicious. Definitely recommended for everyone.

Pros: Tenders, Dogs allowed inside, Service

Unbelievable Good!

Location right off the 605 Freeway in Cerritos.
Wide menu selection that’s diverse in offerings I think can satisfy a diverse clientele.
Our Server(Alexis) was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu.

Pros: Warm and Friendly , Good seating set up and amount , portions are generous

Cons: Chair does not support the back(design issue), Sofa seat cause me seat away from table, See above, I am short so it was uncomfortable

Tasty tofu wrap

I had the Tofu Miso Crunch wrap, a tasty combination of deep-fried battered tofu, edamame, wild & brown rice, cucumber. I couldn’t taste any miso, but the otherwise-bland wrap was saved by the pickled ginger. (Their online menu lists different ingredients!) The menu ranges widely across the world and I’m sad that I could only try one of their offerings.
I was sorry to see that I was the only customer despite it being noon. I hope they get enough customers to stay open!

New Place

A new vegan restaurant in Cerritos that I would recommend. The beignets are a nice addition that I have not seen around the area. I like the burrito they had.

Pros: Burrito, Fries, Beignet

It's a big bowl and my server was really kind. Good ingredients but the sauce just wasn't it for me on this one. They have a wide variety of options I'd like to try though! Congrats to the owner on the new, beautiful space and bringing more vegan food to the area

Pros: Nice indoors, Kind people
