The Wild Chive, Long Beach CA

Ordered take out- the food (Chickn & French toast) was amazing! Can't wait to go back and dine in!

Atmosphere and customer service.was excellent! The food was awesome and I will bring my family from out of town there for sure!

Left upset, sadly. The reason, host said we couldn’t eat there because we had to have made a reservation. So we just ordered to go. As we were waiting a couple arrived, the host asked if they had made a reservation and I heard the lady clearly say no. Host sat them down:/ Didn’t make a scene about it but that’s pretty messed up, if a table had opened up its polite to ask if we would still like to dine in.

I got country breakfast. Terrible taste. Way too salty. Didn't have any flavor balance.

If you're looking for an amazing vegan brunch or lunch spot in southern california, you can't go wrong with this place! While it's a shame that they aren't open for dinner, their delicious brunch/lunch items more than make up for it. I've been here countless times and each time I've tried something different, I've been blown away. From the french toast to the pancakes, waffles, BLT sandwiches and benaign dessert, everything is top notch. It's honestly hard to pick a favorite dish!

While the prices are on the high side, I believe it's worth it especially for those with dietary restrictions. I do hope they lower their prices a bit but the quality of the food makes it worth the cost. Overall, I highly recommend and I know I'll be back again and again just like I have been for so long.

Late 2023: menu seems to be shrinking a bit, losing the country breakfast, breakfast bahn mi and other earlier options. Replacement of breakfast potatoes with french fries is a loss. Still great local business.

2022: Best vegan restaurant in Long Beach, with great owners and customer service and fun atmosphere. A little bread-heavy, but everything very flavorful and delicious, creative, and reasonably priced.

One one the best fried “chicken” sandwiches I’ve had, vegan or otherwise. The bun was nicely toasted, the sauce was on point, even the salad was stand-out—perfectly dressed. Don’t hesitate to try this place, you won’t be disappointed.

The real star of the meal was the singular pancake we ordered (not pictured). It had the slightest crisp on the outside and was pillowy on the inside, with the right balance of savory and sweet. I'd do a full stack next time and I'm not typically a pancake person.

Love hitting up this place whenever I'm in Long Beach. The atmosphere is great, the food excellent, and it is totally worth the wait if you're there on weekends. Try the Chicken and French Toast and the Beignets!

Quick service, great food and atmosphere. This place was a great find while in town we even lucked out on finding a table minus a table reservation I recommend anyone vegan go here it's stellar!

The Wild Chive is a beautiful gem in our neighborhood.
Food is fantastic, you definitely have to try the zucchini sticks!
The place is awesome: open, a lot of natural light, fun music.
Finally the people: very kind, very genuine, you have to meet the owner Wendy!

Now I have to go back asap to try this Vietnamese coffee!

I really like the outdoor seating layout here. Great place to relax and enjoy the view. Lots of vegan options to choose from at a high quality.

Great spot to get some AMAZING vegan brunch!
The Monte Cristo and the country breakfast were so incredible!
The staff is so stellar and amazing!
We are going to be going back for brunch the next day for sure before we head out of town!

I tried this restaurant after finding out it's vegan. I got their limited time country platter and a pancake. The fried chicken was the best I've ever had. The seasoning is superb. And the pancake was so good, even after leaving it in the fridge for a few days.

Great food, solid service and always consistent. Hours are limited but worth it when you have the food and experence the quality service.

Ah-mazing. A delightful experience from the moment we walked in the door. Can I just say wild ‘shroom burger is not your average handheld. Wild BLT did NOT disappoint - it’s all about that Texas Toast. Can’t wait for our next visit - look out stuffed french toast, I’m comin’ for ya!

This place is amazing, and it's vegan! Great for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Food is delicious, creative and great portion sizes. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. I will definitely come back again!

Excellent place for delicious breakfasts. I like that everything is vegan but the flavor is incredible. It's worth trying. We loved the BLT and burrito. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere of the place is very nice.
