“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.”

“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 had a wonderful dining experience at Kuni Sashimi.
The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Every dish showed great attention to quality and detail.
Even though the restaurant was very busy, the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. They took the time to make us feel welcome and cared for, which made the experience even more special.
Thank you to the entire team for the great food and warm service. I truly appreciate the effort and dedication. I look forward to coming back again!”
“CJ was an excellent waiter. All 4 of us had the Campfire Feast, everyone was enjoyed their meal. Timing of the food was good. Had time to enjoy the courses without feeling rushed. Steaks were cooked perfectly, brussel sprouts could have been roasted a bit longer. Very tasty!! Looking forward to our next opportunity to treat ourselves to a night on the town and still be in our own backyard.”
“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.”
“Great service. The food was delicious. I ordered the mushroom bibimbap. Very generous portions. They also have electronic food runners. Recommend for anyone looking for good Korean cuisine.”

“This place is open 24 hours, and my night shift staff and I frequent it often. The ladies that work most nights are all very kind and helpful and make good sandwiches. They get us back to work on time, so it's definitely a good location to get a sandwich. The service is good; definitely check it out if you're in a late-night snack pinch.”
“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.”
“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates”
“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)

“Recently had lunch as a first-timer, and I enjoyed my meal. I've been eyeing this place for awhile, thanks to social media. The menu offers plenty of tasty options, from ramen to sushi and sushi rolls, udon, soba, rice bowls, and more. Vegetarian options are also available.
I ordered the Spicy Ramen along with a couple of pieces of nigiri sushi. The Spicy Ramen has a flavorful pork-and-chicken broth that's not too heavy, and the spice level is medium. Ask for more spice if you like the heat. The pork chashu was thin, but very tender and tasty with a bit of melt-in-the-mouth fat still.
I also ordered yellowtail sushi and seared peppered salmon sushi. Both cuts were delicious and prepared well.
The staff was kind and attentive. The dining area is spacious with plenty of tables and is kept clean. Some pleasant-looking decor as well. Parking can be tricky as the plaza has other popular businesses, and the lot can fill up fast. Can't wait to try more of the menu soon.”
“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.”

“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.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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”
“Had the chicken katsu bento. The chicken was nice and crispy, to the point that you could hear the crunch in every bite, while still being nice and juicy. It was accompanied by a really good potatoe salad, but the best side was the hijiki salad. It was nice and refreshing. Everything was made to order and fresh, as soon as I opened it, the steam gave away how good it was.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Thos is the place where I always recommend to any meat lover. Woodae galbi and rib eye, ggotsal. Banchan are very nice. Service is one of Top in town. Very roomy tables. It's all good for your occasional meeting with nice dinner.”

Cheap Eats
“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.”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“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 meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.”
“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.”

“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.”
