“Thomas, Cody and staff were excellent! Had a great dinner, great service.”
“Had a great time there, high energy place, fun and entertaining. The show is fun and the food was great. I wasn't sure about the no utensils thing, but it turned out fine. If your looking for something fun to go, try this place. The only negative thing i can say was the desert was not that great, but otherwise enjoyable afternoon.”

“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!”
“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!”

“This LA bakery is a must-visit for anyone craving a delightful pastry experience. Despite the long wait for parking and entry (over 30 minutes), the staff was incredibly quick and friendly, managing to keep the crowd moving smoothly.
The bakery itself is a sight to behold, with its vast expanse of baked goods and an open kitchen that showcases their delectable creations. We indulged in a variety of items, including almond croissant, cinnamon croissant, chicken sandwich, eclair, cream cheese guava strudels, chicken croquettes, spinach puff pastry, biscuits, chicken empanadas, and wheat bread.
The biscuits were a standout, filled with gooey caramel and chocolate. The eclair was a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece. Every bite was a blissful experience, thanks to the freshly baked, warm pastries.
While the chicken sandwich was a bit of a letdown compared to the other pastries, it was still enjoyable. Overall, this bakery offers an amazing experience and is definitely worth a visit.”
“Starting with the food. I got the fresh salmon, popping salmon, fluffy egg, and grilled spicy pork. I liked the fluffy egg and grilled spicy pork the best.
Fresh salmon is alright. It is what it is with basically poke quality salmon. Light and refreshing.
Popping salmon has like sort of a buldak/rameny flavor for the marinade which I didn’t like but my partner liked. Not too spicy.
Grilled spicy pork is fairly typical dwaegi gogi, which i like so i’m a little biased. i thought it was good with the yubu. Plenty of pork marinade seeping through the rice. Not very spicy.
Fluffy egg did not have as much roe as the picture lead me to believe but it was good. It also had a few salmon roe for some reason but I liked it. Nice and savory. Egg was wet-ish and soft. nice.
Prices are fairly reasonable. I’d say 3-4 would be a pretty filling meal for the average person. about $5-7 each yubu after tax. I’ve never seen a yubu restaurant before. Vibes are kind of grab and go but they have a decent amount of seating for like groups of 4-5 maybe (like 3-4 tables)
Pretty okay neat looking modern place on the inside. I might try again if I was craving something in particular. I wanted to try the Garlic Butter Crab that other reviews were talking about.”
“We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. It is an excellent spot to take guests when you want to impress them with great food and a comfortable atmosphere.
Here is what stood out during our visit:
Service: Our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making the entire dining experience smooth and enjoyable.
Ambulance & Cleanliness: The entire restaurant was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, which we greatly appreciated.
Facilities: They offer private rooms, which are perfect for hosting guests, business dinners, or special family gatherings where you want a bit more privacy and a quiet environment.
If you are looking for top-tier Korean cuisine with fantastic service and great accommodations for guests, this is the place to go!”

“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!!!”
“Great food when in the mood for udon noodles or Ramen. Every dish tasted amazing and there was a variety of choices to include appetizers. Plenty of seating after pouring in your order at the kiosk. Once you're number is called you pick up your order and add spices, oils, ginger,etc as you want to your dish. When done you bring your trays to a stacked area (kind of full). Plenty of parking up front and the restrooms were clean.”
“Tang was exactly what we were craving after a night out. The portions were generous, and the side dishes complemented the meal well. Since the soups already include rice noodles, I skipped out on the extra rice.
We ordered the soondae guk and the galbi tang. The galbi was rich and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was the soondae (blood sausage). The texture was different, filled with a mixture of pork blood and noodles.
Overall, it was a great dining experience and a perfect choice for a morning comfort meal. Definitely a spot worth returning to.”
“This is my nostalgia almost like my 2nd home because of how much I love the food here. When I was a kid, I went to the one in La Palma and then the one that burned down in Rowland Heights and eventually had to close. So eventually my family would roll over to here since it was the closest to us.
I love their soups and the simple side dishes. It’s a very humble and simple place.
The day this place closes will be the end of an era, but I know this place will outlive me 🥲”
“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”

“I visited a Korean sushi place in Buena Park, CA, and tried their assorted sashimi combo, it was incredibly generous and offered excellent value. The combo featured several types of fish, including tuna, salmon, halibut, and two white-fleshed varieties perfect for dipping in Korean gochujang sauce. The dish was served with crisp perilla leaves and an assortment of sides. To top it off, I enjoyed a delicious fish roe egg soup (al tang) and a bomb abalone porridge.
Also, the servers were incredibly sweet and attentive, which only enhanced the dining experience. Plus, if you're in the mood for drinks, they offer alcohol, making it a fun spot to join friends for a night out (although I didn't partake).
Overall, I’d rate this place a solid 10/10 for its food quality, service, and ambiance.
Note: Unlike Japanese sashimi, which is typically flash-frozen, Korean sashimi (hwal) is often served with live fish, ensuring an exceptionally fresh taste. Enjoy!”
“I stopped by this place during lunch hour, I was recommended th Gamja Tang Lunch special by the waitress how seem to primarily speak Korean (good sign the food is legit).The plate was huge and it came in with plenty of little side dishes, as you can see on the picture.Price was super affordable for all the food I was served.This is the first time I've tried this specific plate, but based on pure taste buds, the food was great and I would love to come back to try the rest of the menu.”
“Best galbitang I’ve ever had in my life in the world, including any that I’ve tried in Korea. Portions were great, service was great, prices very reasonable especially considering how California can be. 10/10 would recommend this place, super comforting food.”
“Authentic Korean experience. From the ice water in the plastic containers to the Bandhan set they immediately bring to your table. Extremely friendly server and attentive to your needs. The atmosphere is reminiscent of something tmyou would experience in Korea in the 19th century. They do mix in some technology with digital menus at the tables aling with a food delivery robot to speed up the service. Delicious soft tofu soup!”

“I go every Friday for my prayer I use to pass by but lately due my diet I start going to get charbroiled chicken one day I was very hungry and stopped here Araceli took my order and and gave me the best hot chicken and sauce she invited me to come to her store and promise to take care of my order she is always pleasant and very happy person I love that she doesn't frown on small order and gives me she said if not other carls jr help you you come here and .that opens the door for my weekly visit to this location. I wish they have employee like this location I believe this location is very nice and today channel also help me what great bunch of people including manger they take care of there customer and treat them very nice I live in Fullerton but I wish this company should have people like this in la mirada and lahabra location. Thank you Araceli”
“My Daughter and I frequent this location on Saturdays as we run errands. A week ago we visited for our usual Iced Caramel coffee. They're always on point except this last time. There was no caramel, and we had already driven off. We called the location and spoke with the manager about it, she didn't hesitate to say to come back in for a replacement. Today we did that and they were on point. The staff here is very nice and very professional. If you're looking for a quick bite you may want to avoid peek hours as this location is right next to Knotts. The reason I gave a 3 on atmosphere is because the new architecture is not my flavor but they keep it very clean. Keep up the good work guys.”
“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates”
“Evangeline was amazing from start to finish. Her energy was so warm and welcoming, and her service was truly incredible. She made our experience feel special. The food was also amazing. Everything was perfect! The uni udon was our favorite.”
“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!”

“So nice & delicious! They seemed a bit short handed so please have patience with them. There was a mix up w my order (I might not have spoken loud enough while ordering) so they gave us an extra corndog for free💗 The staff was so kind, the place was clean & the wait wasn’t too bad at all! Definitely recommend (: there’s also a sign in the window that tells you how to order that was super helpful in being prepared & ordering efficiently.(in the first picture under the TV)

“If you want to taste authentic Japanese home meal, this is the place to go to. I’m was raised in Japan and came to the state. Whenever I want to eat real Japanese food, I’ll stop by there.
Only one thing that I don’t like is PARKING! It’s hard to find parking there.”
“First time trying gyukatsu and it was really good. Crispy on the outside, tender inside. The beef tongue was super tasty too, with a great texture. Left happy. Ordering on the tablet was quick and easy, and the staff were friendly.”
“Great taste and quality for the price! I grabbed a quick meal before going to the airport. A very full, proper Korean meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to get Korean food.”

“Great hidden little joint! You can order take-out or sit at the bar/counter. We got the beef garlic noodles and special Vietnamese crepe. The garlic noodles had a proper amount of garlic and flavor. There were kind enough to cut the crepe in half for us to eat is easier. Both dishes were deliciously made and we'll definitely be coming back for more!”

“Food was decent but was disappointed to find some bacon in one of my burritos 10 years ago I would have thought it was a good bonus but I've been vegetarian for 10 years so it was a bummer and the burritos were a little small but over all everything I ordered was good”
“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.”
“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.”
“Three of us visited for lunch, and we had a great experience from the moment we walked in. We were greeted right away and quickly seated, which we really appreciated. We ordered the naengmyeon and galbi combo along with a seafood pajeon, and everything was well-balanced and delicious. The naengmyeon and galbi combo was especially outstanding. The pajeon was also crispy and flavorful. The side dishes were tasty, and the staff were attentive and friendly throughout our meal. Overall, a very satisfying visit. We’d definitely come back again.”
“High quality Korean soup experience. Good portioned, though not cheap. The soup is fresh and you can season the seolleongtang to your liking. The side dishes are a good mix up to the more basic flavors with the soup.”

“The food and service here is absolutely amazing!! I'd honestly be coming back again and again even if the food was subpar, just because of how nice and sweet the people who work here are! But the food's genuinely delicious - I especially love their ham and cheese croissants!! :D
I absolutely love this place, and will definitely continue to be a semi-regular here :]”
“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.”
“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.”

“Best galbitang I’ve ever had in my life in the world, including any that I’ve tried in Korea. Portions were great, service was great, prices very reasonable especially considering how California can be. 10/10 would recommend this place, super comforting food.”
“I came to Arc when they first opened and it was so so good. It’s been my go to spot every time I’m in the area and would highly recommend it. I always get the honey butter latte.Today I wanted to try the matcha since I’ve only gotten the honey butter latte before, so I ordered the earl gray matcha and it’s SO GOOD!! I get the drinks half sweet so I could enjoy them. Also, they sell tins of Rocky’s matcha powder. Definitely come to Arc if you’ve been wanting to try it out. Update I tried the coconut matcha as well, it’s yummy but I think next time I’d ask for it to not be a cloud matcha.”
“Love the little machine to order and call servers! makes the experience super smooth!! the portions are HUGE get ready to eat lots!!! If you’re sensitive to spicy i recommend to go the mild way… we ordered the original and girl… it was a struggle but a fun struggle with friends!”
“Such a great experience every time I come here. The fish tastes incredibly fresh, the ingredients are high quality, and the bowls are always made perfectly. The staff is kind and helpful, and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. Highly recommend if you're craving good poke!!!!”
“I originally bookmarked the Rosemary Room for brunch, but we ended up coming for dinner instead. We ordered the beef sliders, truffle Parmesan fries, and I had the hibiscus margarita. Everything was really good. The food was solid, and the pricing felt fair for today’s world—not cheap, but not outrageous either.
Honestly, since it’s inside a hotel, my expectations weren’t sky-high, but the food pleasantly surprised me. I’d definitely come back, especially to try their brunch.
The reason it’s four stars instead of five comes down to the atmosphere and staffing.
The restaurant sits right in the hotel lobby with no walls, so you hear everything—hotel guests coming and going, music playing in the lobby, the TV from the bar, and general foot traffic. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxed dinner, this might feel a little overstimulating.
Also, our waiter (who was great, by the way) seemed to be doing the job of about three people. He was taking orders, bringing drinks and food, running payments, and even delivering room service. The poor guy was working like he owed the hotel money. On a Friday night, they could definitely use more staff.
That said, the food was good, the service was kind, and I’d still come back—next time probably for brunch.”
“The food was really good! The waiters were all attentive and very quick in making sure we have all of our sides and drinks refilled. The inside looks like a fancy restaurant and it made me feel like I should have worn something nice. But in reality it's just the vibe. Everybody was comfortable. I would definitely come back again”
“I'm so surprised this place is such a large space. Its on the 2nd floor of The Source OC.
Great selection of pastries and cakes. They do have savory items as well for breakfast and brunch.
Nice space to have an ice coffee and pastries on a nice day.
My favorite treat is a financier mini cake when I can find it, and they have it here.
I enjoyed my delicious items in this space.
Check them out if you're in the area.”
“The Lobster Guys in Buena Park absolutely delivers when it comes to food. Everything tasted amazing—fresh, flavorful, and downright delicious. The portions are generous and worth every bite, especially if you’re a seafood lover.
That said, the service is very no-nonsense. Don’t even think about asking for small menu tweaks—like mixing lobster and shrimp tacos in one order. The response is a firm (and loud) no. What’s on the menu is what you get, period.
Not ideal, but honestly, that kind of attitude comes with the territory at some spots. If you go in knowing that and focus on the food, you’ll leave happy and full.”
