“First time ordering from Porky's Pizza. And...Wow!! Excellent!! One of the very best pizzas we've had in Orange County since moving from New York! Crust is fabulous and pizza topping outstanding! Will be ordering many more pizzas from Porky's. Would highly recommend.Also, very clean and friendly service. Five-plus stars for sure!!!“

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.“

“Wow, what a find! The team at Chop Stop went above and beyond to accommodate my dairy allergy. They listened and reassured me they understood- they made me feel completely safe eating here. That kind of care is so special, thank you! Also, the food was fresh and delicious. I’m so happy to have finally found another place I can eat without worry. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“A staple!! I’m on the Keto Diet so I get protein style burgers and their salads are great to!!“

“This location runs like a machine. The drive-thru looks chaotic at first glance, but they’ve got people outside taking orders, moving lines, and keeping everything efficient. You’ll think it’s a 20-minute wait and be out in five.

Food is exactly what you expect. Clean, consistent, and done right. Chicken sandwich is always solid, waffle fries hit, and the sauces carry more weight than people give them credit for.

As someone who works locally, I pay attention to operations, and this place is a case study. Clients ask me about places like this when they’re evaluating areas to live because it reflects how well-run a neighborhood is. Sounds small, but it matters.

Staff is polite, quick, and actually seems trained. That alone separates it from half the places out there.

You don’t go here for surprises. You go because it works every time.“

“had the ahi tuna salad. it was awesome.“

Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

“Irvine Breakfast Club is an amazing hidden gem! Nestled right in Irvine, you'll find wonderful, kind and sincere service.

The food is absolutely delicious! I had the Breakfast Club sandwich, and the bacon was delightfully crispy and flavorful, the eggs were fluffy and even the bread was toasted perfectly. My wife had the Breakfast Burrito, which was perfectly proportioned with fresh ingredients and the salsa on the side had great flavor to add to the meal!

The eating area in the restuaraunt is quaint and cozy with a real small town ambiance to it. It really felt like being at home, without having to cook your own food!

Our Breakfast was a great experience, and we look forward to coming back“

The guys are so quick and timely to prepare your lunch for you, and really know how to help you out when you’ve never been there before. I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place“

“Tried them for the first time when we got a door hanger menu and coupon. We were pleasantly surprised because everything from the friendly atmosphere, to the price, and especially to the pizza was excellent. My wife got a Canadian bacon and pineapple, which was delicious. I got just pepperoni, which was also delicious. Crust is thick and yummy, they put enough sauce, ingredients and cheese… Not skimpy. We will definitely be going back.“

“Food here is amazing! Had amazing service. We're from canada and come down to California for two weeks every November. We have now decided that this will be added to our yearly traditions! Wonderful family owned business which is lovely to see. Everyone here cares about your experience and the quality of food. Cannot wait to come back!“

“A wonderful evening at Todos Santos with my wife. We were greeted by Daniel the owner and chef extraordinare who took us to a very nice table in the outside patio. We started off with drinks which were made by one of our favorite bartenders Jaime! The other bartender of choice is Francisco who had the day off. Kenya was our waiter and was superb, very personable and professional. We each ordered the appetizer salad which were so good. We spoke with Daniel about the fresh fish and decided on the Sea Bass for my wife and I ordered the Salmon and lobster plate. These two dishes were amazing upon presentation and even tastier than they looked lol. I must say since we began dining at Todos Santos from when Daniel took over this place has blossomed this restaurant into the best Mexican cuisine in Orange County. With multiple awards to his credit Daniel has new menu items that he creates regularly and now opens after hours on Tuesdays and Fridays with a DJ and dance floor. On Saturday and Sunday the restaurant serves breakfast from 10 am to 2 pm and the dishes are delicious. Make a reservation and ask for Daniel. Let him know George sent you. Great place, great food and amazing people! Highly recommended“

“great food!!!! reasonable pricing!!! please experience their food!! nice people fast service!! love this place!!!“

“Restaurant is clean and open. Their sashimi bento box lunch special [includes miso soup, cucumber salad, tempura, half CA roll, and seven slices of quality sashimi served with real wasabi!] is the best and it was only $20. Thank you to sushi chef Obi for his recommendation. Now if they only served Kuronama or any other Japanese dark beer, they'd be perfect.“

“It was our first choice for our anniversary dinner! Good decision!!“

“The food is good, with vegetarian options available. The servers are attentive and trying to give the best experience. I took one star off service as the order was wrong for a couple of our items, but they did make the dishes again. Nice setting and if you get there earlier in the evening there is no wait.“

“Docent is Decent. Got me a Mouthful of Church on Time, 8.2 DIPA. Lisa has a Peel Top.“

“We attended a private Mob Wives themed event at The Parlor Woodfire Kitchen & Cocktails and it was a fantastic experience. The team handled all the food accommodations and offered a great variety of delicious dishes.

The speakeasy was transformed into an Italian mob wives dinner and the attention to detail was amazing. The staff was attentive, the service was on point, and we felt so well taken care of all night.

Big shoutout to Joe for helping create such a fun and memorable event! Highly recommend.“

“Fast and friendly service. I like the current loyalty points system- so much easier than hunting for an app, login info, rewards, erc. All you need is your phone number. I got the protein bowl with chicken and it was excellent. Nice and bright inside too. They do school fundraisers which brought me out to lunch today, and the experience was well worth it.“

“Tried this pizza spot with my family last weekend and it ended up being a really good choice. The pizza came out hot with plenty of toppings and a nice crispy crust. I ordered a pepperoni pie while my wife got a veggie pizza, and both were fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and checked on us a couple times without being pushy. It did take a few extra minutes for our order to arrive, but honestly it was worth the wait. The place had a relaxed atmosphere and felt welcoming. I'd definitely come back again when I'm craving pizza.“

“I had a great experience at Cafe Hafez. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were very kind and attentive. Definitely a lovely spot to enjoy delicious Persian cuisine. I’ll be coming back again!“

“One of my all time favorite places. The people and management make It like “friends” but with a really unreal grilled cheese sandwich and soup. Get the soup with the sandwich. Add bacon. That is all.“

“Very accommodating! Delicious! Beautiful plates and great service! Emily was great!“

“I LOVE cava and my experience here with Julia made it even better!!! Thank you Julia for your patience with how particular I am and being knowledgeable about what’s in the food!!! You are amazing!! They better make you a manager soon or whatever you want you deserve!!!💋💋💋💋“

“One of our favorite Mediterranean spots, their bowls and wraps are so delicious. I love how customizable the bowls are and the variety of toppings. My move is a bowl with half rice / salad and half fries as the base, half chicken and gyro for the protein, and all the toppings. The fries are McDonald’s-level good imo. I also highly recommend trying all the sauces at the sauce station - my faves are the dill tzatziki and the cilantro jalapeño. Yum! Service was also great at this location, Namrata was patient and friendly answering all our questions :)“

“My daily simple lunch for remote work offers many options for a pescatarian/vegetarian. Clean, organic, and delicious!!! 🙌🏾👏🏾👍🏾“

“I order takeout from Siam Thai Kitchen regularly, and the quality is incredibly consistent. Their Rad-na is a standout—it's hard to find in this area, and they do it perfectly. If you like Pad See Ew but want something richer, the garlic gravy sauce on this is a game-changer.

I’ve also tried the Crying Tiger, Fried Rice, Spicy Broccoli with Crispy Pork, Fish in Black Pepper, and Larb. Every dish tastes authentic and well-balanced. As a Thai person, I’m usually a tough critic when it comes to Thai food, but this spot never misses. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the real deal in Mission Viejo.“

“The staff are always courteous and welcoming. The sandwiches are always tasty too!“
