Red Lantern 746 North Brea Boulevard, Brea Chinese • $

“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.”

Thai 7 Bistro 215 West Birch Street Suite 2, Brea Thai • $

“As someone who is particular about Thai food, Thai Seven in Downtown Brea genuinely impressed me. This is one of those hidden gems where you can immediately tell there is real attention being paid to the kitchen.

The first thing that stood out was the aroma—the unmistakable fragrance of a properly fired wok, with that smoky depth that gives Thai cooking so much character. The Spaghetti Kee Mao was exceptional: aromatic, savory, beautifully seasoned, and full of wok-fired flavor without being overwhelmed by sauce. The popcorn chicken arrived golden and remarkably crisp, yet remained tender and juicy inside.

The biggest surprise was the Crying Tiger beef. It was beautifully grilled, tender, flavorful, and easily comparable to something I would expect from a quality steakhouse. The execution was excellent.

Beyond the food, the service was attentive and welcoming. Owner Nova personally made us feel at home, adding the kind of genuine hospitality that separates a good restaurant from a memorable one.

Thai Seven isn’t trying to reinvent Thai cuisine—it simply executes it extremely well. Authentic flavors, proper wok cooking, quality ingredients, and genuine hospitality. For anyone searching for excellent Thai food in the Brea area, this hidden gem in the heart of Downtown Brea deserves your attention.

One important thing to know: Thai Seven is under new ownership. For anyone reading older negative reviews, I would encourage you to give this restaurant another look. Things have changed. The quality of the food, service, and overall experience we received reflects a restaurant moving in a very positive direction.”

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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Brought my family to grab lunch and escape the heat and had a fantastic time! Service was excellent as always and our server Kayla was so friendly and attentive. She made sure to check in with us every time she walked by and made sure we always had drink, soup and salad refills. The manager also came by to check in with us once he heard we had an allergy at the table. He came to make sure he understood the allergy and reassured us of how they would handle the food and prevent and cross contamination. He even came out with Kayla to deliver the food and make sure we knew that it had been specially prepared.

It is experiences like this that make us sure to return!”

I cannot remember having a better server anywhere(and I’m an old lady).

I recommend getting their LIMITED menu beef which has the wagu short rib, ribeye steak, short rib, wagu sushi, marinated kobe beef, and rib strips. Also the endless banchans and kimchi jjige, soy bean paste soup, steamed egg, and they even have pho. Didn't have the stomach to try the whole menu bc there were so many choices but I would definitely come back here for kbbq nights! This place isn't really known yet so if you are in Orange County try this one in Brea”

“Five stars all the way for this bistro and cafe in the Pointe building center at the 57 and Lambert. Usually when I go to most cafes or fast-casual places for breakfast or lunch, I end up with a bland sandwich that is too small so I end up buying chips and/or dessert that I don't need or really want. I've never had this problem at On Pointe.

One of On Pointe Bistro's strengths is that the breakfast and lunch items are generously portioned while also being fresh and flavorful. I've had the breakfast waffles with fresh fruit, chilaquiles, open faced caprese sandwich, and a bowl with lentils, kale, carrots, tofu, and other healthy items. The bread in the caprese sandwich is one of the most flavorful breads I've tried in Orange County.

On Pointe Bistro offers a lot of vegetarian options which is nice. I've tried their meat-based breakfast sausage too, and it's also full of flavor, well-cooked, and neither burnt nor greasy. My wife had a cucumber agua fresca that she said was very refreshing. All of their food seems freshly prepared with high-quality ingredients. They do have grab and go items and a salad bar, both of which I want to try.

Parking is easy here. You can park in the garage next to the bistro for free and there is also free parking near the hair salon and Starbucks on Lambert. They are cashless which I think is easiest for most people. The service is also prompt and warm. The bistro has a modest lounge with lots of clean, minimal seating. They are closed on weekends and close in the early afternoon. I think this bistro is a nice alternative for people wanting to try a new cafe in the area.”

“Came in for lunch on a Wednesday. Pretty chill inside. Plenty of TVs for sports, comfortable seating.

Our waitress was Ari. She was fantastic. Truly brightened up my day. Very cute and bubbly person with a contagious energy to her.

She recommended the steak sandwich, the blackened Ahi sandwich and the Red Ale. All solid choices.

Service was prompt food was good, but I would say one thing I would like to see is more value from the menu - in terms of sides and such. Feels like chips + a sandwich for 16-17 bucks is a bit much. Especially for the portions.

Otherwise, Ari made the visit incredibly pleasant and enjoyable and was prompt and attentive at every turn.”

My salad came dressed with a scrumptious dressing and fresh toppings. The ravioli was delicious! This is a perfect place to have a quick sit down lunch. The restaurant was spacious, with a nice view of the outdoors however, the noise level was a bit high. Our server was attentive and charming.
