“They had a tasty vegan option, the entertainment was on point and the server was good too- the only bad thing - lost my purse there and can't contact anyone to ask - gotta make the trip out there to check if there's a lost and found 🤞”
“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.”
“Accident service fast hardly no wait time to be served highly recommended”
“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!”
“I recently stopped by The Cauldron for drinks and appetizers, and it did not disappoint! The highlight of the evening was definitely the French onion soup—it was rich and flavorful, truly stealing the show. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were delicious. The charcuterie board was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, and the inclusion of black cheese added a fun Halloween touch. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend I enjoyed it all on the patio.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This is one of my favorite Mala Tang chain spots. I usually go to Chinese Mala Tang places in the San Gabriel Valley, so I was really surprised at how tasty this Korean-style Malatang is. It’s set up like a buffet — you pick your own ingredients from the bar, including different types of noodles. Everything is fresh, and they restock the bar often. They also have a self serve sauce station so you can mix your own perfect dipping sauce for your bowl.
I really love the potato noodles — they taste so cute and have that chewy boba like texture. The staff is super friendly, and it only takes about 10 minutes for them to cook your customized Malatang. They also have other dishes on the menu, and you should definitely try them. My favorite is the Guobaorou — crispy fried pork sirloin with a sweet and sour sauce. The flavor is very unique and totally different from the regular sweet & sour pork you see elsewhere. A must-try!
Quick tips:
Pixiu Mala Hongtang is on the 2nd floor inside The Source OC entertainment center. There is plenty of parking available. This place is very vegetarian friendly with lots of veggie options. Just note: the ingredient bar only has beef and lamb for meat selections.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“This year we chose Black Bear diner for the location of our annual Chrispen Team Pumpkin Pie giveaway, and we couldn't have been more impressed. The manager Isaid was amazing from the start helping me plan the event and order hundreds of pies. The large patio provided a private and cheerful atmosphere and was the perfect spot for the event. Carlos and the rest of the staff were amazingly attentive and handled everything we needed on the day of the event. All of our clients raved about how delicious the pies were and loved the convenient location. We can't wait to come back next year!”
“Genuine Japanese Ramen with rich Miso taste. No other ramen shops serve this taste and only one in SoCal. It’s worth to spend your time to go to this place if you are Ramen Lover! Now they start serving Shio-Ramen (Clear Salt base soup) with Truffle oil flavor. This one is very good, too!”

“my experience at nolza was one of a kind! my first time here and it did not disappoint. might have to come here every single night for the food and the service!! 10/10 i recommend this place to everyone”
“Absolutely speechless. This place is perfect.
The restaurant is impeccably clean, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is both upscale and cozy. They have private, small rooms available, making it the best spot for a quiet meal and conversation. It is truly the ultimate venue for spending precious time with a cherished guest. Highly, highly recommended.”
“My family & I love this place! The food is delicious & they have kim chi fried rice & other items some place don’t offer. The staff is also super nice & you get free delicious ice cream! We’ve eaten at other places & it doesn’t come close to here . The price is so good in comparison too!”

“Soooo delicious!! Ordered to-go & took us a little over 20mins to get home & surprisingly my Shaved Iced dessert was still frozen! Very satisfied with how everything tasted. I ordered the Green Tea Snow with Oreos, Strawberries & Popping Boba combination. I loved it. I also ordered the Pistachio & Matcha Green Tea Macarons & the Milk Tea. The Pistachio Macarons & Milk Tea was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Didn’t get to try Jesse’s Breakfast)”

“How do I start? Oh yeah, friendly staff, efficient service, clean venue and de-lish everything! That about sums it all up... No frills! Just great tasting grub if you're into that sort of thing. Wifey loves the array of deliciousness available but almost always orders waffles! Keep the coffee coming!!!”
“I was referred by a friend to visit this location since I eat yogurt everyday fir breakfast. I ordered drinking yogurt:Earl Grey & persimmon($1 additional). You can't taste Earl Grey strongly, but it was flavorful. As for persimmon, you can taste lumps of persimmon as you sip the liquid yogurt. I actually like the taste of yogurt by itself and I would prefer to order plain next time.”
“Stopped here after leaving Knotts and was pleasantly surprised. Great cuts of meat, friendly staff, and the photographer they have takes some great pictures. Definitely going to come back here after our Knotts trips from now on!”
“If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food, Gamjagol is the place to be! We indulged in their signature Gamjatang—a hearty pork bone soup with tender meat that falls off the bone, rich broth, and perfectly cooked potatoes.
We also enjoyed the Bossam, which are pork slices boiled in a flavorful brine to perfection and served with cabbage. The combination of the tenderness of the meat and strong flavors was delightful!
The generous portions and authentic flavors combined with the amazing service truly made our dining experience memorable. If you’re in the Buena Park area, don’t miss out on this cozy hidden gem!”

“The food was amazing! But the service could have been better, we ordered our sushi and had to wait to get ginger and extra wasabi, probably waited 10 min after receiving food . If this would not have happened would have given 5/5 rating. I will say we dat at the sushi bar and the sushi chef noticed and handed us some ... great sushi!”
“The seafood pancake was incredibly delicious. Such fresh ingredients. The green onions were crunchy and thick. The octopus, fish, and shrimp flavors were the right combination of salty and sweet. The egg batter just perfectly seasoned. And that outside crunch...it spoke to my soul.”

24 Hour Restaurants
“it was a Sunday morning and before getting there before stepping inside, we could see that there was a line. We came to find out how long the wait would be the attendant said it would be 510 minutes. It ended up being more like an hour for a party of two. very disappointed at the fact that they said five or 10 minutes but it’s understandable food here is better than average, and the service is the best part. They are very friendly and took care of everything quickly. Besides the wait time everything else was better than average. I do recommend this place when they do not have a line. The location is small and it seems like often times it’s always overpacked. This is a four star location. In my opinion I will eat here again if I don’t have to wait so long.”
“Just left this location. Staff is great service is good. Even when they have an ignorant as customer demanding them to have their stuff ready the instant it’s ordered &when it’s not the customer wants to negotiate getting more than what they paid. The staff definitely has patience.”
“The best Gob Chang restaurant in the Buena Park area. Food comes out already mostly cooked and is kept hot on small burner, so no bbq smell after eating. Meat quality is great, and their side dishes are the best combination of the meat. Their pork belly is great also. And definitely try their cold noodle.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Man, after a long, exhausting day at Knott's Berry Farm, Pho QT was a lifesaver. It was exactly the comfort food we were craving. The people there were so awesome—super friendly and accommodating from the minute we walked in. They were even able to make a smaller bowl of pho just for my son, which was perfect.
We got the Pho Dac Biet and the Pho Suon Bo, and both were delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat was tender. Was it the best pho I ever had? No, but my family enjoyed it.”

“This is a place I often visit. The broth is truly delicious. It's prepared with fresh ingredients, and the sundae is beautifully plated. The kimchi is exceptionally delicious, and I love the variety of side dishes. The best part is the hospitality. I always feel delighted when I visit. When the owner is kind to his guests, everyone respects each other and enjoys the meal.”
“Great set menu as well as other good options like chirasi, hot fish soup, etc at reasonable price. All are delicious. Service is great. I have been there several times already and will visit again for any Korean style Japanese food.”
“Alright, if you love Korean comfort food, you have to check out Kaju Soft Tofu. They’ve been around for over 30 years, and there’s a reason people keep coming back. This spot is all about rich, cozy flavors — from their signature soft tofu soups, to Korean BBQ, to fresh banchan that tastes like it came right out of someone’s home kitchen. We ate the galbitang, Korean bbq short ribs, and the kalbi tofu soup. Excellent food and service. It’s a definite must try.”
“I had an amazing experience at the Kobe Gyukatsu restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the service was truly outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming without ever feeling rushed. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it really made the whole dining experience special.
The food itself was exceptional. The gyukatsu was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside—and full of rich flavor. Every bite was satisfying and showed the care and quality that went into preparing it. Alongside the main dish, all the sides were fresh and balanced, complementing the meat beautifully.
One of the highlights of the evening was the matcha beer. It was unique, refreshing, and surprisingly smooth, pairing wonderfully with the meal. It’s definitely something I would recommend trying if you visit.
Overall, this restaurant combines excellent service with top-quality food and drinks. I left with a smile, completely satisfied, and already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.”

“We ordered the spring rolls and pho with beef and meatballs and both were excellent. I especially liked the dipping sauce for the spring rolls. We ordered to-go and all components were packed separately including peanuts to add to the dipping sauce. We received excellent service when calling ahead to order and at the location.”
“My party cost about $80+ between the 5 of us, and it was well worth it. I personally ordered their chili omelet, and when I say I couldn't finish it because of the big portions, I mean it, I'm a big person, I can eat A LOT, and I couldn't finish it all. 10/10 on atmosphere, flavor, and portion size”

“The bakery was well stocked with an awesome variety of bread from conchas to empanadas, elotes, cake, flan... so much to choose from. They also have drinks, candy, and Mexican chips, champurrado, and many more things. They are super nice and friendly. I live a couple of cities away but will definitely make the trip even though there are a few bakeries near me.”

“The food is delicious, and everyone is friendly. However, because the space is small, there's always a wait during lunch hours.
My mom loves all fish here!”
“Great first-time dining experience at Fei Xiang Gong Buena Park. If you wanted an alternative to the typical kbbq, I would definitely recommend checking out this place. Our personal faves were the different kebab skewers. Service was a stand-out as well. Our servers were all friendly and helpful.”
Cheap Eats
“As a small business owner myself, I often entertain family and potential clients with gatherings at our Ocean Breeze Living Board and Care. I have used Supreme Pizza several times. Everyone LOVES it! Freshly made to order, with what I call their secret red sauce. I do not usually like red sauce, but I love theirs.
Great family owned business, with excellent personal service.”
“We made a reservation for 7pm on a Friday night. Had to wait through a lot of Knott's Scary Farm traffic just to get in the parking lot though. Even though we had a reservation, we still ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes past that time, but we could see that there were open tables available. I figured since it is wide open inside, it'd be pretty loud, but it really wasn't bad. We could still hold a conversation and hear each other well, even though there were music videos playing and lots of people around us. Our servers were really attentive. Our main server had to take a break and was really transparent about handing us off to someone else. We ordered a Bloody Mary (spicy!! but safe), and a strawberry basil margarita (decent). For our meals we got the Bill Graham BBQ Chicken Pizza, which was excellent. It had lots of flavor, the perfect amount of cheese, and wasn't greasy or soggy at all. I'd be hard-pressed to order something different if we ever visit a R&B again! We also got the Blackened Chicken Pasta, which was very good too - just the right amount of spice, good flavors, and the chicken was perfect. Overall, we had a really good experience at Rock & Brews, and would come back if we're ever visiting the area again.”
“This donut shop has great food, healthy food as well as comfort food. I had the egg, turkey & cheese croissant, the turkey sandwich and their energy boost juice. And I’m about to try their multivitamin juice which I’m sure it will be delicious and healthy as well.
The owner is super friendly, giving all customers an excellent service!”
“I've ordered sandwiches from here many times before, and this was my first time visiting the cafe in person. It's a cozy spot with limited seating inside and a few tables outdoors.
The sandwiches and cookies here are consistently delicious. The coffee also has a great level of quality that you won't regret.
What truly sets this place apart, however, is the hospitality of the owners—it's absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend stopping by to grab a sandwich; it's a treat for both your stomach and your soul.”
“I rarely can find vegan sweets at theme parks. The Berry Tart appears to be more common, but they do offer some seasonal treats. The Berry Tart did have undisclosed nuts, pistachios. If you have allergies I would probably not go to this place. Based on my experience with other restaurants at Knotts, they do not take food allergies very seriously.”
“Fresh Bagels & Cafe is a popular local spot for bagels, breakfast, and lunch. Even on busy days, the food and service don't disappoint. The kind and hardworking staff can get you in and out quickly. I've been enjoying the food here for a few years.
I appreciate the variety of freshly baked bagels, along with a selection of cream cheese flavors. A few favorite items include toasted bagels with lox-flavored cream cheese, breakfast/omelette bagel sandwiches, and the Lox City bagel, which is perfect for hungrier mornings. The hot coffee options are good with your standard creams, sugars, and spices.
The traditional and specialty sandwiches served on a Dutch Crunch roll are also delicious. Additional food items include classic muffins, fresh rolls, croissants, and flavored cream cheeses to take home. The drinks available feature a variety of coffees, juices, smoothies, boba, teas, and more.
I'd recommend this place, and I'm looking forward to visiting again.”

“I hadn’t been here in years and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be after reading all of the bad reviews, however there were two main things that I didn’t like. First, sadly they don’t hold cakes anymore and second, the pizzas and desserts are not full. They only had 3 types of pizzas to choose from and the dessert section was a little empty as well. Other than that it’s a great place to go specially if you have kids.”
