“Great food with plenty of options to choose from. The ingredients were fresh, the broth was flavorful, and everything tasted delicious. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. A great place to enjoy malatang with friends and family.”
“10/10 spot with tasty burgers and big beers and service. The only reason I make the trip from Alhambra to chino. Everything you could want in this clean sports bar.”
“Food is delicious 😋 and service is great 😊 we are going back again soon 😃”
“An absolute carnivore paradise!
The quality of the Wagyu beef here is outstanding. Every cut was incredibly tender, juicy, and literally melted in my mouth. The marbling on the beef was beautiful. If you love high-quality meat, this place is heaven. Highly recommended!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Great rec by my friend. For the value one of the best places to stop by in chino. Great variety of fusion food and sides are stacked on the plate. Servers always check on ya and everything is promptly brought out. Definitely coming back next time I'm in town!”
“The food was amazing the service was A+++. Prices are reasonable for fresh sushi and overall my kids loved it so thats a plus for me. This gen will be our sushi place from now.”

“I've been coming to this Legend Hot Chicken location for a while now, usually once every couple of weeks when the craving hits. What keeps me coming back is the consistency. Every single time the chicken comes out crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the spice levels are actually distinguishable from each other, not just a vague gradient like some other hot chicken spots. My go-to is the sandwich at a medium-hot level with a side of fries, and it's never let me down. Staff are friendly and quick even during busier lunch hours. It's not a sit-down fancy experience by any means, more of a quick casual stop, but for what it's going for it nails the execution every time. If you're a fan of Nashville-style heat, this is a solid, reliable option.”
“The staff is super friendly and gave us great recommendations for food and sauces. The food came out fast and all tasted great. Everything is super clean and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend. We had sliders and mozzarella stix, everything was fresh and tasted great!”
“A really good spot for Ensenada style tacos and burritos. I love the Baja burrito that comes with fish and shrimp. The salsa there is all really tasty. I especially enjoyed the Chipotle sauce last time. I like that they leave lemon, hot peppers and other items out for you to take as you please. The workers were very nice as well. Great place and the portions are a good size.”
“We recently found this gem of a place and were warmly welcomed and constantly attended to. Now, mind you, this was on a Monday morning at 9:30am when most people are working; however, people should realize that weekends are much busier times for dining and plan accordingly! The atmosphere was awesome, warm and welcoming. We were attended to by no less than 4 different people making sure we were cared for; the food was very fresh (they have vegan options too) and the coffee was yum. When I heard the name of this place, I knew it would be fantastic; check it out and see what you think.”
“We came around 7pm and the entire restaurant was PACKED. We were able to walk in with a group of 4 and we were seated right away (shockingly). Philip was our server and he was so great. Although he had many tables and a restaurant full of people, he never allowed it to affect his professionalism or quality of service. Our appetizers were brought out as quickly as the order was placed and our drinks were brought shortly after our waters. Without asking, Philip refilled our waters as needed and checked in with us multiple times throughout meal. I watched him interact with other tables and he was amazing. He gave each person his undivided attention and patience. Thank you so much for the best service we’ve ever received at this location (and we’re locals, we come all the time). Congratulations on your wedding Philip!! you were awesome.”
“Went there for breakfast on Saturday early (8:30) to beat the rush. Only waited 20 minutes. Had belly to belly, creme brulee french toast. avocado toast, and two orders of the berry cloud pancakes. For drinks we had classic coffee, Pandan latte, Spanish latte, and Cookie? latte. Both drinks and food were great. Only complaint is that we order the 2nd pancake a few minutes late and it didn't arrive till most of us were finished. Be warned .. get your orders in for the cloud pancakes early. It will take 20-30 minutes to arrive.”

“I discovered Chaos Bubble Shoppe through the Too Good to Go app.,it is incredible that I get THREE beverages for $6. I also began sampling the rice balls and have two more to go to have tried them all. Delicious!! I got a signature tea (today was roasted oolong tea, toffee is my favorite), a milk tea with boba (today was toasted oolong milk tea) and one of my favorite fruit teas with boba, cactus passion tea. I have tried at least 20 different drinks and enjoyed all of them. The staff is friendly and professional, worth a stop whether you just want a drink or some delicious food. Highly recommend!! Truly a hidden gem!!”

“The food was amazing.
The service was on another level.
The vibes were immaculate.
First off, their menu is on definitely top notch. It's hefty, but they have an index in the back which shows all the pictures/descriptions of the food (amazing for any first timers). We ordered the dynamite steamed egg, kimchi cream pasta, cheese buldak chicken, and chicken gizzard stir fry. The steamed egg is definitely an upgrade from usual steamed eggs. It's super fluffy and is the perfect start to any meal. I've been craving some korean pasta recently and couldn't find a decent place. Yet, this place does it right. Although I wish there was a bit more, the cheese buldak is that silent creeper in terms of spice but super delicious (tip: ask for rice so that you can mix it with the leftover sauce). The chicken gizzard stir fry is that perfect balance between chewy and savory. Definitely a fan.
The service was amazing. The owner/servers are super attentive and accommodating beyond words. We were sitting near the door and people were smoking outside, so he ended up constantly closing the door and opening to let our dining experience not be negatively affected. Unmatched. They really care about their diners.
It's a smaller place, so during events (WC) and weekends, it can fill up rather quickly. So, make sure to plan accordingly. It's definitely worth it. It's located within a plaza, so parking is plentiful. I will definitely be back to try the other menu items. A+++!”
“Went in for some takeout and the staff were so friendly. Let us try juices to see what we'd like. I went with balanced and it was super good. I also had the spicy crab toast and it did not disappoint. Light, flavorful, but still filling. Great way to start my day, good service and staff, clean facility. Super happy I gave it a try while in town.”
“I was really hyped about this place opening to add to the variety of Korean food around Chino Hills. Soonheene is very popular in South Korea which led me to add this place to my must try list of restaurants, they're known for their amazing street food and it didn't disappoint at all.
Staff were incredibly quick, attentive, and were very friendly in all aspects. Parking is plentiful, clean restroom, and a moderate amount of seating inside the restaurant. The interior is well maintained and just has good vibes when entering, there's also a TV on the wall that plays many variety shows to express just how popular this place is in South Korea.
1. We ordered their signature Tteokbokki and it comes in a decent amount of portions, a great shareable dish and very flavorful when it comes to the mix of sauce, rice cake, and fish cake. There's also a rose version which I also recommend. The Tteokbokki were savory and also not hard to crunch on, cooked perfectly and very enjoyable and addicting.
2. Another must try item is the Mayak Gimbap, comes in 8 pieces, another shareable dish. It's also very well made, with a mix of meat and vegetables, a decent appetizer to the main course.
3. The Oden Fish Cake Soup is also a classic street food signature dish to try. Highly recommend if you're a fan of fish cake, comes in a stick form which is a easy pick-me-up type food. Not too salty and is flavorful as well.
4. The Roasted Kimchi Pork Belly was the main dish we had as a shareable. I cannot fathom how well made this dish is made. The pork belly is super savory, chewy, and flavorful, mixes well with all the side garnishes and sauces.
Overall, Soonheene is definitely a good place for many occasions, dates, take out, and moderate size groups.
Decent prices for amazing quality food. They will always be my go to spot for amazing South Korean street food.”

“This is the favorite Chinese food spot of many of my friends and family. People I introduce to this spot keep returning. We live in Rowland Heights so it’s kinda far, but get Magic Wok whenever we get a chance. The chow mein and spicy orange chicken are some of the favorites”
“Ordered takeout during the holidays and the food was ready to go at the agreed upon time. The staff were very thoughtful and kept the fried dish uncovered in the to-go bag to maintain the crispiness. After the car ride home, it was still crispy and yummy. Overall the food was pretty good and a hit with most of the people. Some of the dishes were a bit salty, but that was expected from this type of establishment.”
“Our experience at happy together, restaurant was a very good one. All the food that we ordered was very good and we enjoy them all. The Singapore style noodles were absolutely delight with a slight of a curry flavor. The flat rice noodles with the beef were very very good. The chicken feet. We enjoyed immensely that dumplings that we had. We enjoyed a very very much. We wish we would’ve ordered the pork and the other meat items, but we just could only eat so much. We were able to get seat right away. The service was nice there, easy to reach and take care of us. We will definitely return many many times here for the authentic, and I mean very authentic flavor and taste.”

“The food is good....but the service cloud be more friendly. Its the only restaurant that I have been to that does not give out free water! I think that is outrageous and I probably will not be coming back. The cashier said their water dispenser was broken....fix it lady!”
“Came here last Saturday with my husband, and everything was delicious! My favorite was the hot honey peperoni pizza, which I've been craving. We also order the wings and they we're so flavorful. We also order the antipasti which my husband liked and he's not a fan of salads. So that says a lot.”
“Tried the Ninja Roll, Tuna Roll, and Salmon Roll and honestly everything was so good. The sushi rolls were huge. I’ve had a lot of sushi around Orange County, but this was probably the thickest sushi roll I’ve ever had.
The shrimp tempura was also impressive. The shrimp itself was really big and thick. I don’t think I’ve seen tempura shrimp like this anywhere else in OC.
The salad was surprisingly amazing too. Definitely don’t skip it.
We finished with macaron ice cream for dessert and it was a perfect ending.
The owner was very kind, and there were 2–3 chefs working when we visited. The shorter chef was especially friendly and made the experience even better.
For me, this is easily one of the best sushi roll places in Orange County.”
“I have been craving to try boat noodle soup ($15.95) since I've seen it online. It is a blood-based soup so it's a dark brown but the taste is not noticeable. It comes with thin noodles, sliced beef, pork meatballs, green onions, pork rinds, Thai basil, and cilantro. They do have a Thai level of spicy and they do warn that they do not to re-makes of dishes.
I also got their pork jerky which came with a side of spicy fish sauce dip.
The staff is nice and the place is clean.”
“Julian rocks! He professionally helped this senior navigate the 7Leaves application and informed me of the different drink varieties. The House Coffee is my go to beverage and it was delivered in less than 5 minutes. We'll be back and try some of Julian's recommendations the next time we come here.”
“Really liked this spot. The army stew was honestly one of the better ones I’ve had in LA. It came loaded with pork belly, bacon, spam, sausage, tofu, and ramen, and once you mix the sauce in well, the broth gets really rich and flavorful.
We also got the LA galbi, which I liked because it was not overly sweet like some places. The meat had a nice char but was still tender. The spicy braised pork back ribs were also really good and kind of reminded me of Sunnongdan. We got medium spice, and it came with three huge bones with super tender meat that was basically falling off. We added cheese, which made it even better, and the rice cakes in the stew were soft and soaked up all the flavor.
To balance everything out, we ordered the oxtail soup and cold noodles. The soup was more mild and comforting, with a rich milky broth and several big pieces of oxtail. The cold noodles were perfect for a hot day and had a nice chewy texture. Overall, everything was solid and I’d definitely come back.”

“Afters has so many amazing flavor combos, the ice cream is undeniably top notch. At this particular Afters though, the staff is also next level. Lulu not only helped us find the our favorite sundae for the evening but she also has impeccable taste in books! We look forward to coming back soon.”
“In my opinion, Sushi Ojiya in Chino Hills, CA is THE best sushi around the area. We have been eating here since 2008.”

“Changan is one of my favorite go-to spots in Chino Hills. The food always comes out quickly, and everything I’ve tried is packed with incredible flavor. The portions are generous, and the prices are unbeatable. They open early with a wide variety of authentic Chinese breakfast items, and their lunch and dinner menu offers everything from skewers and noodles to spicy mixed vegetables and dumplings. My family and I always leave completely satisfied after dining here!”
“Better than any other boiling crab style of restaurant. The quality of the ingredients they use and the way they cook it is what I feel set them apart from the rest of the boiler style restaurants. The owner is always here and is one of the cooks and you can tell how much he cares about his food. I recommend trying it and believe me you will not regret it.”
“❤️🫐😋I COME HERE EVERY WEEK RELIGIOUSLY😋🫐❤️ OMG! This is my GO TO SPOT FOR AÇAÍ BOWLS! So f@cking good! I go to nekter 1x/week religiously. Lol. Like for the past 20ish weeks religiously, lol.

“Went here on thursday took 20 mins to get seated when there was no one there, another couple next to us was also waiting but came in after us and got seated before us and got their food before us, they kept on ignoring our request after i asked for a fork several times, it was so bad that the couple next to us had to say something before they brought it to us, each time we ordered the couple next to us got their food while we had to keep waiting and asking for it, even took like 30 mins to give us our card back, idk if it is because we were younger but don’t expect a tip if you can’t even provide good service”

“Do you miss Soup Plantation as much as I do!?! If so, you have to check this place out. Lots of the good stuff similar to SP, but even more soup choices and the bread is amazing!! When I got there I was surprised there wasn’t much of a line, but by the time we left the line stretched out the door. Such an amazing value for great food.”
“Our second time here n it hit the spot again! We ordered the same plates bc we enjoyed them so much the first time , but definitely want to explore the menu more . We ordered the orange chicken and it’s my favorite from any other orange chicken I’ve had. It has fresh orange peel , spicy dry chilis , and the batter is light . The wok fried green beans have a delicious salty and garlic seasoning , soo yum. The steamed pork dumplings are most likely made in house- they are juicy and fresh . It’s a family run spot , they are very sweet. We appreciate them and their cooking!!”
“Every time we visit the Chino Hills Store #50, Lorraine has been attentive, friendly, and professional. She always greets us with a big smile, and it helps to put a positive attitude in everyone who walks in. Nick is also a great asset to your company.”
