Excellent food and menu - Edit
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.
Read moreFor 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

Spendy Vegan Eats in Cerritos - Edit
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!
Read moreI 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.

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

This place is AMAZING - Edit
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 - Edit
Still on tour out here in Cali! Happycow and my mental appetite led me here(and some other great reviews).
Read moreAlthough 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 - Edit
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? - Edit
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.
Read moreMsg 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

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 - Edit
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.

Tasty tofu wrap - Edit
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.
Read moreI was sorry to see that I was the only customer despite it being noon. I hope they get enough customers to stay open!

Awesomely Vegan - Edit
Mustard Seed is the new Plant Based Vegan restaurant in town!!! I went to their soft opening by chance after seeing the restaurant coming soon sign on their door. Their menu may seem mixed with Mexican, American, Asian and Cajun varieties.... But trust me it's good.... The first time I went I got the Cheese steak wrap and was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and quality...I haven't had anything close to a Cheesesteak Sandwich in over 30 years!!!! On my next trip i got 3 crispy tacos... This type of thing is more common in the area even Vegan style and this again didn't disappoint. Finally got Grains and Gains basically a Quinoa type salad which was refreshing and good....

AMAZING - Edit
Very bright, clean, pretty atmosphere. Quick service. Reasonable prices. DELICIOUS food. Great variety and unique menu items. Went on their opening week and they were giving out free dessert, very nice touch. We got the hot honey chicken strips, breakfast burrito, blackened Cajun fish wrap, and the plain beignet dessert. The fish wrap was a bit dry and not the most flavorful, but still decent. Everything else was MIND BLOWINGLY DELICIOUS!

This place has a very creative and eclectic atmosphere. Food is extremely delicious. Vegan beignets? Heck yes. I had the tofu miso crunch wrap and it was delicious. Also tried the grit fritters which were also sublimely delicious and I hadn't had cheesy grits in years.
