Restaurants in Brea

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!”

“Delicious food at very reasonable prices. This is a great spot to satisfy your sushi and sashimi cravings. It's a popular choice among locals, so seating is limited—I recommend visiting during off-peak hours.”

“Great place to dine . Friendly service and great atmosphere. Food is tasty and plenty to eat . Desserts are delicious!!! 😍♥️”

“This is THE BEST fine dining steakhouse in North OC with a vibrant, classy atmosphere. From the steaks and seafood to the cocktails and old-fashioneds… everything is amazing. We’ve been patrons since it opened and would even order takeout (even old-fashioneds to go!) during the pandemic. A splurge but absolutely worth it.”

“Very nice employee when I went yesterday to drop off a toy for their toy drive. The desserts are usually WAY too sweet, but the turtle cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding were delicious. Split four ways bc it’s a lot.”

“This is a hole in the wall Boba place, where the service and drinks are great! We go here multiple times a week and love all their drinks. I especially like getting lychee jelly instead of the Boba in my fruit tea drinks.”

“Came for rubios and found a new restaurant
Didn’t know what to expect but we gave it a whirl. Fresh and delicious and nice variety of options. We loved the bread!!! We got the Tuscan chicken sandwich. Delish!!!! Will come back for the happy hour !!”

“Best pastrami

Started in highschool with the OG in Alhambra on valley Blvd... Where we could get a pastrami fries and a drink for under 5.00 got the same thing today for $19. 76...🤦🏽‍♀ But still good so worth it”

“Friendly and amazing owners. Food is wonderful”

“My wife and I, plus my daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Breanna were very much please with our dinner last night. Michael our server came out and created us, by saying it was so nice to see you here again. Michael remember our drink order and promtly brought it out to us. The job Michael did from start to finish was amazing. From getting our order out on time and the desert was perfect for my granddaughter Breanna and my wife's as well. Always asking if everything came out right and if we needed anything else. What a perfect evening and servers like Michael make us want to eat here often. Thanks again to you Michael for giving us a beautiful evening.”

“Fiery Crab's garlic butter sauce should be illegal. It’s THAT good”

“The Best of Mediterranean”

“Food was excellent. Many choices on the menu and good portions. King crab legs with garlic seasoning was so tasty. Service was great and staff very friendly.”

“Great place for German Food and Beer!”

“the Pescatore with garlic cream was excellent. As was the cold table water in a glass bottle,nice touch. Calamari and garlic bread appetizers were also very good. I would have liked a bit more atmosphere of an Italian restaurant and not 80's music playing in the background. Took my family for dinner first time and I would go back.”

“our favorite neighborhood restaurant! Their red pozole is delicious and of a substantial portion. The employees are very nice too!”

“The bomb dot com 💣💣💣 good service and great food. Really enjoyed our time. Love brea.”

“We stopped in for a quick bite to eat (“eat to bite:” Tom Hanks in “Terminal,” 2004). Had a very nice sandwich, and a restful time to enjoy it.”

“Haven’t dined at Red Lobster in over 15 years. Food was wonderful and the service was great! Nice location, friendly staff and abundant seating. Highly recommended!”

“Had a lovely and delicious brunch. Avocado toast is 🔥! Lavender latte for the win!!”

“The food is usually always good. We really like the chicken fried rice. BUT tonight we got 2 orders of the chicken fried rice and it is tasteless. Terrible. A little dry, NO eggs, maybe 6 single peas and 3 small bites of carrots. Where are the vegetable that are usually there? Do you have a new cook? It was so bad we thought it was a different rice. The rest of the food was good. If it was our first time we probably would never order the chicken fried rice again. I gave 4 stars because historically the food is typically good. If I could, one star for the rice.”

“The food hasn’t changed it’s still one of the best places to eat near home”

“Great vibes! Great drinks and food.”

“Great Customer Service. Sylvia and her crew understand CS. Just go”

“Fire fire fire 🐥Great Chicken & Waffle”

“First time there… the food was excellent and the service was great! Friendly and very helpful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Ella was amazing! We walked in around 8pm and she had a bit of a rush. It was just her but she managed! Amazing service 10/10 give that nice girl a raise! Our drinks were delicious btw :) glad we took her recommendation”

“Service was fantastic. For the price, quality and location I can not recommend anything better! We just moved to Brea last October and we've been looking for a spot like this!”

“It's a Pho restaurant, what'd you expect the atmosphere to be? In all seriousness, the food is great. The portions are definitely greater than what'd you expect. And the price is definitely comparable to the amount of good food you're getting.

Shout out to Sal! He runs the show quite well!”

“It quiet air-conditioned not too crowded at lunch easy parking. In Brea the Mall and Downtown area has too much traffic its hard to park and if your on a lunch break it feels nice just to relax.”

“The food was delicious!!! Classic diner burger and fries, but well done. Ingredients were fresh and it was made to order. Front cashier was very polite and helpful. The restaurant was very clean. Indoor lights are a bit bright, but you get used to it.”

“I took my family here for brunch and we had an awesome time. The food was delicious and unique. Our favorite was the Uber French toast. The service was amazing. The place was nicely decorated and the vibe is lively and vibrant. We will be back again.”

“definitely unprofessional not ok to tell a customer that even though the person taking your order over the phone messed up your order then you call then rude employee female at 6:30 pm answer the phone saying they can resend it out but charge me delivery fee again which is not ok or how it works I worked for domino's for a few years now and we don't do bussiness like that at all its unprofessional to lie to a customer then when the customer ask for a manger you don't put them on hold for 15 minutes and you over hear the person on the phone say just great saying not professional things about the customer completely rude and employee needs written up an reprimanded for this type of behavior but the manager is going to make it right but no customer should ever have to wait 45 minutes more to get there correct order completely not ok hopefully the GM and the district manager will look into the store off bear valley in apple valley to train there employees in proper procedures and professional way to handle customer service we order all the time never have these type of issues very disappointed”

“Been eating here for many years, but I'm moiling farther away. I miss their salid bar. The staff is always friendly and the food is great”

“Good healthy food fast service and it’s cheaper than I expected I come back again!”

“I have had The One Breakfast Burrito 3 different times now and each time I have been blown away! Now prior to this I wasn't into Breakfast burritos. They were either all half cooked hash browns and lot of eggs with little to no meat. Or all the ingredients like the meat and cheese were on one side and the eggs on the other ingredients were on the other side and dry with no consistency. I love The One Breakfast Burrito!! The ingredients are fresh and they way it is built you will have meat, eggs, tater tots, cheese and sauce in every bite! The tater tots gives this burrito a different texture and taste. No dry half done potatoes. And the service is great, I oder and go pick of from Doordash.”

“Yummy food, delicious drinks and great staff. They treat you like familia!”

“Great quality smoothies on a regular basis and staff is super friendly every time.”

“My group lunch order was an order of chicken satay (comes with four skewers; add in extra peanut sauce for dipping), an order of the pad thai with tofu, an order of the papaya salad (medium-spice level), and an order of the cashew nut chicken (add in extra sauce). The food was tasty, the service was decent, and the atmosphere was good. The restaurant space itself is small, so please do keep that in mind!”

“Their burritos are amazing”

“the best burgers 🍔 around 😋”

“Yummy seasonal rose latte!”

“Great place for German Food and Beer!”

“Spacious, plenty of seating, very minimal modern, but the coffee is very good. It's a nice place to nip by in downtown Brea for a sweet coffee drink. Their lavender lattes are my favorite.”

“Always a great time at Shady Nook”

“Enjoyed lunch here 4/9/26. High quality delicious food. Top tier service in a beautiful ambiance. Music is an added bonus. Service is impeccable. Tim, our server was welcoming and gracious. Made our experience lovely. Skewers were made to perfection. So good we continued to order more. Can’t wait to be back. Thank you!”

“Great sandwiches. The store was spotless! Very clean!”

“Love this place🥰 Best coffee and bakery in town 💗”

“The night before Mother’s Day, after having dinner with friends in Brea, we randomly discovered this music bar — and it turned out to be such a magical experience. From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping into a fairytale. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect, the music set the mood beautifully, and both the cocktails and food were truly outstanding.
I highly recommend this place for a girls’ night out or for couples who just started dating and want somewhere romantic and special. Definitely a hidden gem we’ll be coming back to!”

“Small, cute, with the friendliest staff you'll ever meet, huge portions, and make sure to get a glass of horchata while you're there. Easy to order to go or to dine in, and you'll never be disappointed in the total comfort food. This place has been a staple of NW Brea for ages with good reason.”

“A month ago, my daughter and I went into this Greek Mediterranean restaurant for take out in the city of Brea for lunch.
Menu, is accessible and easy to read at the top of the counter, next to the cash register. There is plenty of space to dine in and restroom in the back.
The food was tasty and enjoyable, Chicken Plate: Chicken Souvlak, rice, side salad choice of dip, and fresh Pita bread. Also the lamb pita by itself. The prices were reasonable and adequate for the amount of food.
In and out in roughly 12 to 15, which isn't too bad. The staff was friendly and cheerful. It was kind of busy during lunch, yet it was worth the wait time.”

“Super friendly. When I’m in town again, I will be back.”

“nice place to have a burger, been there several times.”

“I received the best customer service on Monday Morning at Mountain Mikes Pizza in Brea...She was a sweet lady...I don't remember her name...But, her friendly demeanor made my entire day...and My birthday pizza was FLAWLESS... If she reads this...or someone from that store...or one of my friends visiting that store...please tell her thank you. Tony”

“Just tried Teaspoon and it’s fantastic!”

“Service was beyond 5 stars, they were sweet helpful and fast.. I got a half salad, half rice poke bowl and it tasted fresh and delicious.”

“This is the best sushi place I go Pretty much 3 to 4 times a week Such great fresh sushi and great service”

“Express Wok has been our family’s go-to takeaway for Chinese food. We’ve been coming here for YEARS!Their Orange Chicken, Sweet Chili Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken are some of our favorites.Annie’s customer service is amazing and she always has a friendly greeting when you walk in.It’s a popular spot so they are constantly cooking dishes to replace those that are running low.Good value and great portions! The food is so tasty and yummy.”

“Maria Maria. I politely asked the manager Maria for a refund of this tiny cone since its all I ordered and wasnt full serving. 4 oz is policy serving size. I literally scaled it and was 3.5oz. yes I have a scale in my car. Maria refused to simply refund. Better business bureau contacted. left corporate feed back. Terrible costumer service”

“Love the quality and quantity! Fresh and delicious ingredients!”

“Friendly cool environment light Hawaiian music employees are friendly and helpful

I’m very picky about where I get my teriyaki.
My sister had brought me a bowl to try out.

I got the small bowl. Just the teriyaki chicken and rice. They give you a lot of chicken and big pieces too. They also have extra teriyaki sauce and hot sauce. Ohh and they have free fountain drinks between 2-4 pm. My order was to go. Love this spot.”

“Bruegger's make absolutely the best bagels in this area. In fact I don't think I have had a better bagel anywhere. Wednesday is the best day to get a deal on a Baker's dozen.”

“Burgers were delicious.
Atmosphere casual.
Very limited hours. Weekends only. Not sure if friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday.
Tucked away in Canyon Coffee co.
Great food though!
Hoping to go back.”

“honestly i was expecting a basic golf course bar with nothing but bud light and old peanuts but it actually has a solid craft beer selection including a couple local ipas i hadnt tried before. grabbed a burger and it was cooked perfectly with fresh toppings even though it took a little longer than i hoped to come out. the view from the patio looks right over the course so it a nice spot to just hang out and the servers were super friendly even when it got busy. my only small thing is the parking lot is kind of a mess especially on weekend afternoons with people dodging golfers. definitely will be back for the beer list alone even if im not playing that day.”

“Hidden Gem

Pros:
Good food
Big portions
Friendly service
Nice ambiance ( in hotel )
Typically, no wait to seat

Cons:
Parking costs money downstairs
Slightly slow since they're not usually busy”

“Clean Restaurant; I visited for breakfast on a Wednesday at 8 AM, sausage, egg and cheese. Breakfast burrito with coffee just over $12, good service hot coffee food was excellent thank you.”

“Do not go to the Brea Imperial Starbucks in Brea🙏🏻🙏🏻 90% of the barista‘s have attitude🗑🤬”

“Every time I come to Brea Mall I always get a smoothie and it's so nice to be met with such pleasant employees. Brendon is always kind and accommodating. If he's there I KNOW my drink will be perfect without fail. Huge reason of why I consistently return is the service”

“Customer service was great. Really busy but still got my food within 5 minutes. I got a veggie bowl, the guac was perfection.”

“7/14/22 I made a lunch reservation for six of us today at the Brea, California location. Best food ever, of course. But, the biggest kudos go to our server-Eluzia! I cannot remember having a better server anywhere(and I’m an old lady). This young person had it all, from the smile on her face, to her knowledge of the menu, to her impeccable service, to her willingness to get whatever we needed! If you are lucky enough to have Eluzia serve your meal, you’re in for a super time.”

“Clean atmosphere, beautiful smiles”

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!”

“Erica!! Erica!! Erica!! Best service I’ve had in a while! Such a positive attitude and my drink was never empty! She made sure I got all the meats I requested! 10/10 would come again & would ask for Erica!”

“Great vibes! Great drinks and food.”

“Best pastrami

Started in highschool with the OG in Alhambra on valley Blvd... Where we could get a pastrami fries and a drink for under 5.00 got the same thing today for $19. 76...🤦🏽‍♀ But still good so worth it”

“Haven’t dined at Red Lobster in over 15 years. Food was wonderful and the service was great! Nice location, friendly staff and abundant seating. Highly recommended!”

“Service was quite slow but it seemed like they were short-handed.
Waited for a table even though the place wasn't busy.
The brisket, rolls, cornbread were good.”

“Very nice employee when I went yesterday to drop off a toy for their toy drive. The desserts are usually WAY too sweet, but the turtle cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding were delicious. Split four ways bc it’s a lot.”

“Clean atmosphere, beautiful smiles”

“Had a lovely and delicious brunch. Avocado toast is 🔥! Lavender latte for the win!!”

“Excellent food, good service”

“the best burgers 🍔 around 😋”

“Cosy place to sit for awhile..”

“Food
I ordered the three roll special. I had the shrimp, pork sausage, and bulgogi beef. The shrimp roll was as expected, light, fresh, and tasty. The sausage was the best. It had the best flavor and really stood out. The beef was dry, okay flavor-wise, but oh so dry. Each roll had lettuce, shredded carrot, cilantro, cucumbers, mint, and garlic chives. These added crunch, texture, and a freshness that really was nice.

Service
Great, fast and efficient service. My order was correct in every detail.

Atmosphere
It is a mall. So mall vibes.”

“I love coming in for a quick drink - all the signature drinks are so good and not too bitter or too sweet. I love how easy it is to have the drink made the way I like it. This is the go-to spot for small business coffee in Brea!”

“I don’t even know what to say other than you gottaaa be kiddinnnng me with how delicious the King Brulee on ice is…. Like wooooowwwww.. sweetest and best drink I’ve had in a long time. The quality of their boba itself.. chefs kiss 😙 too good”

“Omomo Tea Shoppe in Brea was a very good experience overall. We tried some of their special drinks, and they were definitely flavorful, rich, and well-made. The drinks had a nice creamy texture and a strong sweetness that made them feel more like a dessert than a regular tea drink.

The presentation was appealing, and the flavors tasted carefully put together. You can tell their drinks are not basic or generic. They have a more premium and creative feel compared to many other tea shops, which makes the experience more memorable.

That being said, the drinks were quite heavy. They tasted good, but because they were so creamy and sweet, they might be a little too rich if you are looking for something light or refreshing. I enjoyed them, but I probably would not order them too often unless I was specifically craving something sweet and indulgent.

Overall, Omomo Tea Shoppe is a great spot for high-quality specialty drinks. The flavors are creamy, sweet, and satisfying, but a bit heavy depending on your preference.”

“The Bottom Line Up Front:
In a world filled with corporations masquerading as sophisticated boutiques, Philz is a growing chain that still retains a cozy atmosphere while serving up great coffee. I've been to other Philz, but this review will focus on this Brea location.

The Drink:
I got the seasonal salted caramel cold brew and it was delicious. Picture Starbucks' caramel macchiato but less sweet and with less acidic espresso. This Philz drink was smooth and creamy, with enough caffeine kick to keep me powered throughout the day.

The Service:
Our barista was very knowledgeable and offered a few suggestions and a couple of samples so that I could make the right selection. Grade A service!

The Setting:
Located in the new section of Brea Mall, this Philz location is a freestanding building so you have to walk outside of the mall to access it from the southwest side. There's no street parking, so you'll need to park in the large parking structure across from Nordstrom (currently...but they are doing more construction so this could change in the future).

The Conclusion:
As part of a franchise that doesn't act like one, the Brea location of Philz offers great coffee with excellent customer service.”

“Its pub food, it was ok, but I ordered a BBQ pizza, not expecting it to be spicy and had corn on it, never had a BBQ pizza like that, nor did I want it. I wasn't impressed.
On a good note the service was great! The young lady did a fantastic job, we were a group 7, and she took very good care of us.
Its is a very cool place, I loved the atmosphere. Cozy warm and definitely appealing.
Bottom line, I wasn't there for the beer, and not a fan of spicy food. So you decide. Im not trying to say it was horrible, but I'm just not into spicy food.”

“356 Korean BBQ & Bar is such a vibe. The interior is modern, sleek, and super cool, definitely not your typical KBBQ spot. The lighting, layout, and overall design make it feel elevated but still comfortable enough to hang out and enjoy your meal.

What really stands out is the variety of food. From high-quality cuts of meat to all the different sides and options, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re going classic with brisket and short rib or trying some of their other specialties, everything feels thoughtfully curated and fresh.

Great atmosphere, great selection, and just an overall fun place to dine. Definitely coming back.”

“The most amazing cake ever! Ask questions about the cake and she answered every question, recommended as well. The cake was light and fluffy not heavy or sweet! Employees were very friendly and very helpful as well!”

“At the Nordstrom mall entrance. This Ebar is next to See's candies. We got the coffee from Ebar and the dark chocolate ftom See's candies; perfect combination. We tried the blueberry muffins and it’s the best. The regular and decaf coffees are sooooooo fresh and rich. The water 💧 is free for all 🙏🌹”

“Really enjoyed the wide selection of topping options you can add to your soup. They had a lot of options for soup bases too some spicy and some not spicy. The atmosphere is pretty nice I went on a Saturday evening and it was pretty easy to find a seat. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Waited about less than 20 minutes for my soup. Overall really good selection for the price. The dipping sauce bar didn’t have a ton of options but overall I really enjoyed this place.”

“My cashier Jeremiah was extremely friendly and helpful. My best friend and I came in for the first time just looking for the milkshakes. We were both indecisive, but Jeremiah was happy to explain the different options and new seasonal milkshake. He gave personalized suggestions and let us know we could customize some options. My best friend got the toasted s’mores milkshake while I got the strawberry. We were both thoroughly pleased and enjoyed them. Would come back for the service.”

“Currently my favorite Starbucks. One of the few locations that uses regular ice and I love that. The drive thru line is always long in the morning but they are super quick. My matcha is always on point.”

“Nice bakery . Everything is fresh . I do not recommend their Tiramisu Cake. I was disappointed no ladyfingers were used and the taste of coffee was minimal; however I will be trying their other cakes. All cakes are beautifully decorated .”
