We usually stop in after a game for some pool and drinks and have always had great service and not too long of a wait for a game of pool. Drinks are average to good prices and the girls are quick with the service.
Solid 5 stars for the atmosphere and service.“

“no food just regular little snacks. If you wanna eat something eat something before you go, but Roberta is an absolute Saint. She may seem kind of direct to you, but she’s very kind and a very wonderful person and a great bar Owner. It’s a really nice cool chill atmosphere to be out. There is one of my favorite places to be at without stupid people being around. Roberta makes it happen.“

There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“Amazing!! The food is exquisite every single dish plate takes you back to the real Mexican flavor. The service is very nice 👍🏼
Maybe is me, but the music is a little loud only. Everything else is wonderful thank you for feeding us “El Sol 626”
Also the churro dessert was the bomb🥰“

“Great menu with lots of diversity...there is something for everyone. We usually go with 3 to 4 people in our party and often share because that allows us to try more of the menu and we have always enjoyed each and every item we have selected from the menu. Beer selection is great...almost as large as the food menu. I have always had good service at all of the Finney's I have been to for lunch or dinner... Orange, Brea and Camarillo. Great restaurant!! I would highly recommend you try it...you will not be disappointed.“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“We've been going to Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen for years, and it never disappoints. It's become a tradition in our family—my wife celebrates her birthday there every year on Cinco de Mayo (we call it “Cinco de Kimo”), and it's always a great experience. The food is consistently excellent. The shrimp enchiladas are her go-to and absolutely worth it every time. we also had the short rib taquitos recently and it was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. And the margaritas? Always spot on. Great food, great drinks, and a place that's become part of our story.“

“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“Food was great , portions were huge , quality was top notch , Alaskan king crab legs were massive , staff very friendly and grateful for your business. Will def return“

“I was at The Richland for the ASID Gala & thoroughly enjoyed the venue. The space is lovely & uniquely laid out with multiple areas & rooms. The food & service were terrific.“

“This a spot you should pay a visit if you’re in Anaheim. It feels like a genuine crafthouse, which sets it apart to the disney-atmosphere most bars have here. The burgers are so-so good: high quality and tastful rather than just greasy and overly large portions. The beer selection is huge: over 30 local brews from tap. Happy hour seems quite busy, possibly best to avoid (16:00-17:00).“

“Above and Beyond Service — Thank You, Cienna!**

We had an unforgettable experience, and it’s all thanks to Cienna.

I had originally made a reservation thinking it was for the rooftop at Valencia so my wife and I could enjoy fireworks for her birthday—but that was my mistake. The reservation ended up being for the lobby-level restaurant, which didn’t offer the view I had planned for. Totally on me.

That’s where Cienna stepped in and absolutely saved the night.

Without hesitation, she took the initiative to contact the sister restaurant on the property—the *correct* location I meant to book—and worked her magic to see if they could accommodate us. She didn’t have to do any of that, but she genuinely cared about making our evening special.

Because of her effort, coordination, and follow-through, everything came together perfectly. What could have been a disappointing mix-up turned into a seamless, memorable birthday experience for my wife.

Cienna is the definition of top-tier hospitality—proactive, thoughtful, and truly invested in the guest experience. If you’re lucky enough to be helped by her, you’re in great hands.

Management: take note—this is someone you want representing your brand.

Thank you again, Cienna, for going above and beyond and making my wife’s birthday one to remember! 🙌“

“Yang Ming is a very special place for my family and I. I got engaged in Yang Ming. My family and I go there for every celebration. Their hot and sour soup is one of the most comforting foods I've had. Most of the older staff knows our family and is amazing to us. The food is the best!“

“Excellent service great views awesome food“

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at Top of The V! We celebrated an early Mother’s Day dinner with friends, and it turned out to be such a memorable and special evening for all of us.

The ambiance was elegant yet very welcoming, and the stunning view overlooking Disneyland made the night feel even more magical. Sharing great food, laughter, and wonderful company while enjoying the beautiful scenery created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration.

The food was exceptional from start to finish. The aged steak was cooked perfectly tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The paella was rich and full of flavor, and the short ribs were incredibly soft and savory. We also loved the desserts, which were the perfect ending to such a wonderful meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and truly impressive.

What made our experience even more memorable was the outstanding hospitality. Our server, Brisa, was phenomenal. She was always smiling, attentive, accommodating, professional, and genuinely warm throughout the entire evening. She made us feel welcomed and well taken care of from the moment we sat down until the end of our dinner. Her positive energy and excellent service truly elevated our experience.

We also want to recognize Annabelle, one of the hostesses, who was incredibly kind, funny, and friendly. Her cheerful personality immediately made us feel comfortable and added such a fun and welcoming touch to the evening.

From the incredible food and breathtaking Disney view to the exceptional service and warm atmosphere, everything about our experience was wonderful. Thank you for making our early Mother’s Day celebration so special and memorable. Definitely a well-deserved 5-star experience, and we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful and unforgettable dining experience!“

“We came here 2 days back to back and was definitely not disappointed the first day we just wanted to try the place out and ordered the pork belly sliders and a brisket Mac n cheese. Both were amazing but… the next morning we came to get brunch and ordered the chili verde breakfast burrito along with the tri tip breakfast bowl and I must say that had to be the best breakfast burrito I have ever had! Plus the sauce with the salsa they give you for that bowl was delicious!!! I’m just upset that the brunch is not year around“

“Rise Rooftop Lounge So Cool. My Friend Sophia Is A Great Singer In YouTube & Live Music. My Girlfriend Julie & I Are Really Love To See The View In Disneyland Fireworks.“

“My first time here at your location in Puente Hills CA. My waiter Jesus is a very awesome waiter. Thank you for attending me with excellent service.“

“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent“

“I have been eating at Mandarin Taste since I was 4 years old. Since when they used to have to polaroid pictures taped to the wall where you waited for your seat. Since the shopping center was a thriving place for business.
I have been gone from the area for years now, but I came home over the summer and after a shopping trip at Brea Mall, I craved some Szechwan beef and nostalgia. Upon walking in, we noticed some small changes. The polaroid pictures are gone (mines was up there!) but everything else was exactly the same. Including the staff. They have of course aged as we all have, but I remember them in their younger years. We ordered all our old favorites. The pu-pu platter, chow mein, fried rice, and Szechwan beef. All of it tasted exactly the way it did the last time we had it. The consistency of this place is insane and much appreciated. The service was good too. I don't have any issues with Mandarin Taste and we always had great food and a good time here over so many years. Graduations, births, birthdays, and job promotions. All celebrated here. It made me sad to see the shopping center as desolate as it was. In the 80's and 90's, it was a busy place and again, many memories being there. I'm glad to see that Mandarin Taste has been able to remain and among so much change, they have been able to stay the same. Thanks for the memories. Please support this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.“

“Service was wonderful. Food was delicious great waiters and waitresses wonderful atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Great food, service, drinks and ambiance.“

“Great food! I always get a mushroom taco there - they have great! mushrooms!!“

“♡♡♥︎♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡“

“Great happy hour and good food. We went here while staying at the hotel for our Disney trip and it ended up being our groups rest spot after a long day. If you're going to get a specialty cocktail, the Smoky Sparrow was really smooth and the aromatics were wonderful. The server/bartender Zaira was really attentive and kind to our group with toddlers.“
