Restaurants in Costa Mesa

“Came and got the chef omakase special and wow was it insane. The majority of the fish were Japanese domestic exotic fish. Would come back in a heartbeat. Service was amazing”

“The Duck Confit Spliff is a great representation of the Vietnamese & French cultures “wrapped” up all in one dish. And for a more traditional & fun way to eat it, you definitely have to use your hands. My only wish was for a little more duck in the spliff.

With the Ebelskivers, the concept was again brilliant. The garlic emulsion creates an intense garlic flavor but in a light and airy way. But like takoyaki, I wish there was more escargot in the batter to remind me more of that chewy feel from the traditional dish.

The surprise star of our meal was the Royale with Cheese. The wagyu had great flavor and char. And the sesame seed bun held up well for this napkin-required burger. But those pickles were amazing nuggets of necessity to add balancing acidity to the richness of the dish.

We definitely want to try the Duck Breast, the Spanish Octopus, and the Prix Fixe Meal on future visits. A final thanks to Chef & Curtis for the friendly service and explanation of the menu.”

“The best açaí I’ve ever had. And I’m from Brazil and know what a good and authentic açaí is! And the service at this place is outstanding! Our attendant Bryan was very kind and attentive with our order! Loved it! Thank you!”

“I ordered the fish & chips. To go. It was absolutely fantastic tasting and fresh. I’m most definitely going back and highly, and I mean highly? Recommend this. Place!”

“Really great ice cream and so many choices also there’s a menu kist in case you can’t decide 😉”

“manager Saeed is outstanding the coffee was hot the server was very attentive I'll be sure to go back”

“I wondered how I could eat well on vacation. Vibe was across the street from my rental and I was so happy to find it! Meal problem solved! I bought a couple of bowls and a wrap during my stay. I even got my mom and two sisters to visit with me. They found something to try, too! Wish you had a store in Utah, I'd try everything on the menu. I actually got to have ice-cream! Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.”

“Very delicious food ❤️Friendly staff❤️”

“The high rates reviews tell you everything about it. Fresh fish, great service, generous portions at really fair prices. Good jams too, UB40 was playing.
Never been here before but I know how the poke bowl ordering goes. I still like to hear how they address first timers. Travis was great, he asked if we’ve been here before and we have not. He hit all the points, explained the options and gave his recs. They also have a pretty nice rewards program too, so it makes it even healthier on your guts and wallet to come more often!”

“We found Avila’s El Ranchito on-line and decided to give it a try. We had about 45 minute wait so we knew it must be good. A little mix up in the list to be seated. There was another “David party of 2” that arrived AFTER we did but they jumped at the chance to be seated before us. The staff was very friendly. The portions were large enough that we shared a meal and were plenty satisfied. The food was very delicious. The salsa was not what you would call mild so for those with sensitive palates be aware! The atmosphere was loud inside but relatively quiet outside. We would dine at this restaurant again.”

“My husband and I really enjoyed this visit to Seasons52. It had been a while since we had been there; in fact the last time was for a Thanksgiving dinner shortly after Covid. We were happy we made the choice to go back there. The best part of our visit was our waitress, Bec. She was excellent with her recommendations, and very friendly and attentive. My husband really enjoyed his wine, and I enjoyed my tropical pineapple Cosmo. My husband ordered the white bean soup, which he loved, and the gnocchi, which he said was OK - he wished he'd have gotten the shrimp and grits instead. I had the strawberry and spinach salad, which was good, but I wished they had used blue cheese instead of gorgonzola as the gorgonzola was a little bitter. I chose the Ahi Tower appetizer as my main dish, which was delicious. We each chose one of their small desserts: my husband had the carrot cake and I had the Keylime pie. Neither of us felt they were anything to write him about, but we liked having these small dessert options. We were at the Costa Mesa location but live in Los Angeles, and wish that they had never closed their location in Century city as we don't get to go very often anymore. ”

“Authentic, great service, fun staff!”

“It was a very fun experience! The lady was super kind, the food was really good, my friends who hadn't really eaten Viet food before loved it and told me they'd want to come back. Other comments were definitely right about the Vietnamese coffee being super good! I also really loved the Lychee tea.”

“Love it here! Music is always on point m! 😍”

“place is awesome. quick and tasty”

“Impressive array of the best ingredients unavailable in most Japanese restaurants in the US prepared in different styles”

“After shipping from the South Coast, you may experience a significant increase in hunger. Upon passing by this establishment, you will notice a substantial line of patrons, indicating its popularity. If you enjoy spicy cuisine, I highly recommend trying their ramen.”

“Everything we had was so delicious. My 12 year old non vegan son loved it all too!”

“Been coming here for 2yrs. Always fresh, clean and delicious. James is a Master.”

“Excellent delicious food, the octopus with the eggplant salad and beets is amazing. Heavily recommended.”

“Amazing food and atmosphere. We sat at the bar and have to give our bartender/waiter Jake a huge shout out. He was the best! Definitely going back again.”

“Great food, friendly service and amazing staff to take care of you”

“The most notable featurr of this bar (with good food & apps) is the bartenders also work the floor as servers and they are all pretty. But their efficiency and professionalism is equal to their looks, so the women customers, accept them. I know that last sentence was terrible, but it's true and I'm too tired to re-word it.”

“This is my go to place 😁”

“Food was really great especially getting the combo, really worth the meal! Filled me up right and the service was spot on, nothing to complain! The Vibe is very Awesome!”

“Incredible Brazilian food. Everything we had was fantastic. My only gripe is it is a little pricey, but overall the food and service were top notch. Go on a Saturday or Sunday when they make Feijoada, a national specialty dish in Brazil. I am American and I went with my Brazilian wife and another Brasileira and they both complimented all the food and said it was very traditional and delicious 😋”

“I've now been to the Costa Mesa and Irvine locations. I loooove this spot. The shaved ice is perfect delicate sweetness and texture. Service is pretty quick, even when they're packed. Also tried the mochi waffle this time and wow wow wow. I'll be returning soon with my kids because I want them to be able to share on the epic deliciousness.”

“Great food. Super nice staff. Thank you. When they say it’s spicy believe them. Dare is almost unbearable. I wouldn’t dare try the double dare. Soooo good.”

“Nothing fishy about this place. It's a small family run business. Blame covid for the price increases and there are sign posted to make you aware of the increase. it's the best food and most reasonable prices in town. if you cant afford a 11 dish then don't buy or complain about it. These reviews are for the food not whiners.”

“The food is very fresh, creative and fun! Lots of great drinks to choose from - either with or without alcohol! Cudos to Chef Zachary for his talented culinary achievement.”

“We stopped by Lemon & Thyme on a whim after our daughter’s swim lesson, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, our server, who I believe may have been the owner, was one of the most warm, vivacious people I’ve ever met. He greeted us with the biggest smile and gave us the kind of service that instantly makes you feel at home.

He made us feel so welcomed, like we were family. The level of thoughtfulness was above and beyond,he even brought out extra treats like french fries and ice cream for our toddler, which absolutely made her night. It’s rare to experience that kind of genuine hospitality.

And the food? Incredible. The spicy rigatoni was easily one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. I added shrimp to it and… chef’s kiss. It was rich, flavorful, perfectly spicy. honestly one of the best meals I’ve had since moving to SoCal. My husband ordered the salmon and that was just as delicious.

Between the amazing food and the unforgettable service, this place really left an impression. I already know I’ll be back, next time for a little bestie dinner date. This might officially be my new go to spot for rigatoni, and I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.”

“Unit shots and Madai with yuzu kosho”

“We're celebrating my daughter's birthday and we were surprised the lovely celebration from the staff with confetti on our table a signed card and a lovely dessert. All of the things that were unexpected and just truly made our night so special also, the staff is incredible as well as the food being delicious we will definitely be back”

“Have been a very satisfied regular @EatChow CM for several years. The menu varies seasonally, selections are plated attractively & are always delicious; love the fried green tomatoes😋. Eric & his crew are cordial with the right balance of attentiveness. Undoubtedly authentic, consistently never fails to please & a local, late night favorite🧘🏻‍♀️”

“BEST. GLUTEN FREE PIZZA. EVER. I got the potato pizza and it was absolutely incredible - perfectly salty and sweet and the fresh herbs were perfection. The ceasar salad was also amazing. The owner is sooo nice and funny, and we had really incredible service from everyone in the restaurant”

“Love the Brussels sprouts!!!”

“This is the real deal! Fabulous food from appetizers to dessert. Comfortable, casually chic, & just right. Enjoyed a bday dinner for 6, but dinner for 2 is next!”

“Cozy little restaurant by night, coffee shop by day. We had the oysters, pork belly tacos, steak frites, and a few glasses of orange wine—all excellent and service was great. A little funny to walk in and check in at the counter where you’d normally order an espresso, but I appreciate what they are doing. More comfy seating would elevate the dining experience but overall solid place and would recommend. Seldom do you have a place that nails the food, service, and the vibe 👏”

“Very good”

“Great exhibits educated team on floor ! Cool And calm environment ! Lots of refreshing recharge snacks beverages etc”

“I don’t claim to be a connoisseur in Asian cuisine. I do like fresh, variety, spices, sauces and appreciate courteous efficient service. My second visit. Was not disappointed. The wait to be seated is long. Would not have waited but one person in our group was visiting from out of state and insisted.”

“Fresh homemade pasta. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service 😍”

“It's one of the few restaurants I like”

“Found by accident great food and service excellent. Patio and in four dining. Had beef teriyaki with tempura and miso soup and salad and California roll. ReAsonable priced too”

“Delicious Italian cuisine! Stylish interior of the Restaurant!”

“We first discovered Kokonut Costa Mesa while visiting the area for the first time — and instantly fell in love with their original Kokonut pudding! The flavors are so simple yet absolutely delicious, and the fact that it’s vegan-friendly makes it even better.

Back on the East Coast, we couldn’t find anything that even comes close, so I recently ordered some for my husband’s birthday. The owner went above and beyond to make sure the delivery arrived exactly when we were home — such a thoughtful and kind gesture!

This is truly one of the best desserts we’ve ever had — light, creamy, and full of natural flavor. I just wish they’d open a store on the East Coast! Until then, I hope more people discover this hidden gem in Costa Mesa and try all their amazing flavors.”

“Food with excellent and fresh, service was excellent good experience compared to the very poor experience I had at the location on Newport boulevard and 17th in Costa Mesa I never leave bad reviews but I had to at that location this one is five stars all the way well worth driving a little further”

“I love the fresh salsa at this location. Unfortunately I've never seen it and any others and I don't live close to this one. Please consider putting this in more Del Tacos”

“Today, the manager at this place behaved absolutely terribly. Not only does she not speak English, but she also tried to convince me that I owe someone something. I am a customer. And after I paid for the order, it seems to me that I don’t owe anyone anything — I am supposed to be provided with the service. I like all the employees at this place, but the manager behaved absolutely horribly today.”

“Shad from Liquid4Life guided me on a water fast followed by several days of juice cleanse with smoothies.

The quality of the organic cold pressed juices and smoothies is phenomenal. Shad makes everything in house with state-of-the-art machinery, and you can really tell the difference in quality and taste.

The fasting and cleanse experience was an amazing journey and Shad was there supporting and guiding me with his amazing depth of knowledge.

The best part is I’m feeling really good! Amazing in fact! The reset cleanse has made a huge difference with my energy and digestion even as I add clean food back to my diet. It was a reset my body really needed.

Highly recommend!!!”

“Great coffee and chai! My husband and I stopped in while visiting our kids in the area. Adorable place and some of the coffee we have had. He had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and I had an iced dirty chai. We loved them both. We will be back any time we are in town!”

“First time trying this place and overall I had good experience. Food was very good. I tried a new dish which is kofte wrapped in eggplant. Also tried lentil soup and their dessert. Service was very good. Restaurant looked very clean. There’s plenty of parking in front of the restaurant.”

“I went there in the morning , and the staff was friendly and welcoming. these cookies are super delicious!! and cookie flavors change every week, I’m hooked!!!”

“Without a doubt… The Flaky Apple Pie Co is the best find ever!! I have ordered all of the different pies and each one is more delicious than the last !! The most wonderful pie was the last one I bought…. The most unbelievable FRESH PEACH Pie!!! Best I have ever had!!! Thank you Brooke and her team! We will be friends forever!❤️”

“Pricey but we ate deliciously.

Left in the picture: belly roll (amazing, soft fish that is so soft it melts in your mouth)

Right in the picture: Yummy Roll. (With a smokey touch, perfect combination of flavors)

I also recommend the crispy rice and the edamame.”

“Fantastic service with very a friendly and attentive staff.
Went for my son's birthday as he was craving shawarma. He got the lamb and his girlfriend got the beef shawarma. Both of them said it was very tasty.

I had the chicken curry stew and have leftovers. It came with a Greek green salad and basmati rice. So delicious and such deep flavors.

We'd come back again for sure and since my son and his girlfriend live in the area, they are adding it to their spots too.

Highly recommend it.”

“Sunday morning breakfast was excellent. It was my first visit, and Bob introduced me to this charming spot. The Hearty Oats and English Breakfast tea were absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful, and I really enjoyed the period music.”

“Calo K's ceviche is delicious.”

“I have been to the Sessions in Newport beach a few times and I love everything about the place, great food, great service, and the owner greeted me personally! I would 100% recommend this place for a great family meal!”

“THey have great food. Friendly staff Quick service and a clean pleasant eating environment.”

“fantastic cute location and atmosphere, employees were very nice, ordering 2 spanish lattes took a while for them to be ready but it was excellent and properly labeled between oat and regular milk, definitely coming back here!”

“I just ordered the salmon plate and it was absolutely the best salmon I've ever had. yummy!!! I will absolutely order again. I can't wait to try more items.”

“Really enjoyed a great breakfast here polite hostess and the food was absolutely delicious”

“It was yummy and fast. Everything was fresh and clean”

“Big portions for low prices (considering our economy). The torta cubana was delicious. Packed to bursting with meat, cheese, and all the trimmings. They do the same with their burritos.
My friend says their lengua is the best he’s ever had.
Since this inside North Gate, depending on the time of day/week, it might be much busier and/or harder to find seating. We had to sit somewhere in the market that wasn’t nearby”

“Staff was super friendly, service was quick, and the food was great. fresh large portions. highly recommended putting it in your dining rotation.”

“cute, delicious, fantastic customer service”

“My favorite spot for wonderful food in a funky, hip atmosphere. Chicken and waffles are a must!”

“Chef Stanley and the staff served what has been hands-down, the best sushi experience. I’ve had the United States so far.

Words cannot express absolutely delightful. This entire meal was the atmosphere the freshness the choice of ingredients execution absolutely top notch! Not to mention, I have quite a few allergies and they went above and beyond to take excellent care of me and serve me some of the best sushi I’ve ever had”

“THE BEST CHEESESTEAK. One try and you will understand. Great great sandwich!”

“Exelent servís the food is exelent”

“Fairlawn store is great! Ice cream is amazing! Staff is very helpful& takes care of customers quickly ! Highly recommend !”

“Food was so delicious recommended for who hasn’t tried it , and great service as well my first time. I would come back, but I’m too far. I’m from San Antonio Texas. Thumbs up 👍 👍”

“One of my favorite family-owned, hole-in-the-wall sushi spots! 🍣 Been eating here for over 10 years and the quality has always been amazing! I usually get the rolls or combination specials (which comes with a lot of food). The owners are very kind and provide great service! If you’re craving sushi, definitely check out this authentic, yummy restaurant!”

“Such a gem of a coffee spot! This cute little neighborhood café has quickly become one of my go-tos. They have a lot of different flavors so you can customize your cold foam. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. Their cold brew is bold but super smooth no bitterness at all 👏 and they have tons of great milk options from Straus.
The vibe is welcoming, perfect for grabbing a quick morning coffee or hanging out for a bit. You can tell they care about quality and the small details. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and want something that feels local and special! 🌿☕️✨”

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!”

“Good coffee/latte people are nice location is convenient”

“Best customer service ever and the tacos was amazing just like big boy said the best tacos and we couldn’t get enough we had to get more tacos and she took very good care of us and I am a very big fan of big boy from strength cartel she made me feel very welcomed and took very good care of us we came all the way from Oklahoma City”

“Hands down BEST Pit Builders in California! I spent 5 years researching and slowly deciding who and when to get my pit and after a lengthy process I’m more then thrilled to have my 120 Gallon Harper Pit! It’s a no brainer they are often imitated but never duplicated with their ingenuity and craftsmanship is second to none.”

“Wow everything we tried was top notch and service was amazing. Sesame tofu was a pleasant surprise that had everyone wanting more. Shabu shabu udon was seasoned to perfection and it even came with ponzu for the meat! Nabeyaki udon was spot on as well. You can tell they take care to make the dashi very well. Tempura chicken curry udon broth was also not too thick and not too salty, which was very pleasant too. Of course the chicken kaarage was super well seasoned and not heavily battered. Perfection. I’d love to come back to try more. Very few places do udon so well.”

“Great food, great place! We had corn chowder, and schnitzel with red cabbage, potato and mac salad.”

“BRC is Amazing!!! 👏 🍺🍻🌮🥳🥂”

“So good!!! A must when in Orange County!”

“I was able to try these out in California adventure park during the Chinese be year celebration. These were delightful fresh and fruity treats. We tried the lychee panda cream dessert that was paired with a green tea matcha dessert. We also tried a mango grapefruit crepe cake. They were fun to eat and look at. Highly recommend!”

“this place is amazing! everything is delish & sooo Many options to always try new things! the staff is absolutely the best! & the artwork inside is perfect for pictures! definitely our favorite place!”

“Great new find☕️awesome service and cool vibe ☕️🤠”

“Love those breakfast tacos!!!”

“Love these cookies”

“It’s a great atmosphere and the owner Monica is very friendly and welcoming. She makes you feel like your at home .”

“My favorite place growing up they NEVER disappoint 🙈 the plates are affordable and always yummy. And they have a good atmosphere where you can either sit inside with games playing on the tv or you can sit outside. Customer service is always great too. The girls in the front are always so friendly as well. I always order the shrimp tacos with pinto beans 🤌🏼”

“Our go-to restaurant when we are starving at night. Authentic Chinese street food with right-on-the-spot seasoning. Location is in a shared kitchen facility together with many other small businesses. Clear window showing their kitchen so you know all the food are made fresh for you. A must try place overall!”

“Come here for lunch and pick up dinner! Excellent Mexican food in Costa Mesa right on Fairview and Baker. The caldo de res and caldo de pollo are soooo goood! Perfect balance of veggies and meat …my family loves it ♥️”

“The Harp Inn is a gem. Great live music, super friendly staff (including the owner), and an all-around welcoming vibe. I’ve been going here for over 10 years and it never disappoints. The Irish food is excellent — highly recommend the Irish breakfast. They also have a great outdoor patio.”

“Birdie’s Açaí bowl is my absolute favorite, hands down. Unlike most other places that use premade sorbet, Birdie actually blends the berries. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend the peanut butter Açaí bowl; I get it almost every day.”

“I don't understand why Nick's closed. I really want to know why. So if there is any one who can tell us why we would really appreciate it.”

“Nothing fishy about this place. It's a small family run business. Blame covid for the price increases and there are sign posted to make you aware of the increase. it's the best food and most reasonable prices in town. if you cant afford a 11 dish then don't buy or complain about it. These reviews are for the food not whiners.”

“Poul’s Bakery took our breath away , we couldn’t believe the cake we have taken pictures from we have searched the internet images and sent it to her the custom cake we wanted , and not only she made the identical one ,the taste was so delicious actually finished the entire slice, it’s rare for me to eat the whole slice, as many cakes are made with to much sugar , it overwhelms to entire cakes other ingredients, this was so perfectly balanced ,and l asked for second , so did few guests , we as host wished we ordered the bigger size , we don’t like the buttercream topping due to its excessive sugar , we ordered her soexisl topping , while you others ask no buttercream but we want Poul’s Bakery special topping we heard so much about it , sorry l don’t remember what it was called . My bad ,this Poul’s baker we also find out been around for decades as she is the second owner but uses the same original recipes. She said it’s a company secret Lol, we respect that Try Poul’s Bakery , it won’t s sidelong you and ask for a sample of their fantastic cannolis . And on the spot in events she actually make the cake front of your guests . We never tried that but people are ranting about it and went at viral with millions of views and shared ,,we saw it in her website . Poul’s Bakery didn’t disappoint us , give them a try Best from Goldstein family”

“Great service, My friends and I come from Germany, and our English is so so, most of this I had to use Google Translate. However, there was a kind young lady who was able to help us in German with a name something along the lines of Jessi, and she was very helpful, especially for my friends who can't really speak English well. So I wanted to give credit, and the food was great.”

“Why did it close it was a great place? Now its something called MOON. Did Pan Asia move??”

“This is my favorite restaurant! I loved it back when it was on Bristol, but I have been back to the new Red Hill location twice now and it is even more of a special dining experience. Massimo has come out to explain the history of the wine and food and the sources of his ingredients. He tells wonderful stories with a great sense of humor, and his daughter who helps serve is also very knowledgeable and delightful. I feel transported and hosted in a way I have never experienced in a restaurant. The food is amazing. The fresh handmade pasta melts in your mouth. We have eaten every dessert and they are all spectacular. Every wine and appetizer we have tried has been extraordinary. I couldn't recommend this place more.”

“Delish and great staff. The staff IS family and they treat not only their customers like family, but the other staff as well. That means a lot. We had a fun time with DJ and Pleng. About the food... We had 4 dishes... Hanuman's ceviche, Tom Kha Gai, Massaman, Pad See Ew and a nice glass of Malbec. My favorites were the ceviche and Massaman. But everything was so good. Hubs liked everything. There was literally no wait at 3 pm but come soon... Once word gets out this place will have a 45 min wait just like the mother location on Bristol.”

“One of my favorite Costa Mesa restaurants. The atmosphere is very professional and perfect for lunch event.”

“Food was absolutely incredible. All the staff and waiters are extremely polite and friendly. Great experience for my birthday!”

“It was first time we went there, food amazing and stuff friendly”

“manager Saeed is outstanding the coffee was hot the server was very attentive I'll be sure to go back”

“From the creative cocktails to the sizzling entrees, Descanso delivers excellence on every level. You can tell why people rave about it.”

“Great decorative place in excellent location. Plenty of parking on a Saturday as that area is not too busy. Menu as expected with great cocktails and food was great too. Service could have been better due to very low amount of people dining but was adequate I guess. Definitely worth coming back.”

“We went for Sunday brunch and it did not disappoint. Our server Roberto was super kind and always made sure to check in on us. The food was good for a brunch buffet. They had freshly made tortillas for the taco bar and the made to order omelette at the omelette bar was delicious! The complimentary pancakes were also super yummy! The servers were always walking around to be sure the bottomless mimosas were being refilled. Super great experience and we'll definitely be back.”

“The best açaí I’ve ever had. And I’m from Brazil and know what a good and authentic açaí is! And the service at this place is outstanding! Our attendant Bryan was very kind and attentive with our order! Loved it! Thank you!”

“Ulysses and Luis were so amazing at this place we will we will send all our friends here to this place everything's fresh and don't forget about the Mar Y Tierra dish thank you”

“No wait at a Saturday.

Scan to order is very efficient.
Food came only a few minutes after orders being placed.
We ordered 2x combo and several single dishes, which were all delicious and tasty.

Services are superior! We will definitely come back!”

“Great management! Thanks for serving the Costa Mesa community.”

“Service was amazing and food was great! I’m in a food coma with the sample Mimosas that put me into the coma”

“Okay, I thought this was one of this joints where you order “Xtra Crack” in the comments and you get some smoking crack. Imagine my disappointment when I opened my bag and all I had was delicious chicken, fries and amazing coleslaw. Honestly though, I think that chicken has smoking crack in it cause I just finished eating and I’m already itching for some more…. Maybe you could help a fella out and get me some chicken? Come on man! Please?!?!?”

“Great food as always. Only been 12 years since my last one. lol”

“I ordered the fish & chips. To go. It was absolutely fantastic tasting and fresh. I’m most definitely going back and highly, and I mean highly? Recommend this. Place!”

“Went early in the morning for grand opening. Awesome staff and good vibes. Coffee was great too!!”

“5 Stars for this Boba place across from triangle square. The Oreo crumble boba was amazing. The server was very sweet and helpful as well. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in Costa Mesa.”

“I recently stopped by Chailo Coffee Club and it did not disappoint. The drinks are seriously good—everything tastes fresh and well-crafted. The sisters who run the place are incredibly friendly and welcoming…. “ You know who you are”, which makes the whole experience even better. The vibe is super chic and stylish, perfect for grabbing coffee and hanging out. Definitely a go-to spot if you’re in Costa Mesa and want a great cup of coffee.”

“Our company got us lunch catered by this place recently and we can't stop talking about it! Best work lunch I've ever had in my life. They bring it all and every single item is the best! Highly recommend!”

“You need to add this establishment to your weekly options. You'll live longer.
Fantastic , healthy tasty options are plentiful.
One of my favorites is the Avacado and quinoa salad with chicken.
But seriously... EVERYTHING is delicious.”

“This place had tacos, quesadillas & a torta selection. Located inside the Northgate Mercado, within their main food court area. I only got the chicken quesadilla but everything looked great. Service was good, and unbelievably fast. I highly recommend. Atmosphere wise it was good, and during the Holiday week they had a DJ, just didn’t love how loud it was. So good tunes, just loud for peeps who just want to get a bite. Luckily, there’s an outdoor sitting area!”

“Was pretty blown away by the ambition and quality of the drinks. Definitely experimental. Healthy sized menu with quite a bit of variety. Some very bold combinations that basically work.

Atmosphere wise, it's not that loud given how tiny the space is.

Edit came back a year later. Too sweet mist though ok”

“Tremendous meal, first timers. Although they had a multi course Valentines menu that evening, we wanted to explore more of the menu. Three of us, one being my 83 year old mother-in-law, had 5 appetizers and salad, and three entrees. Hit it out of the park on everything. We had the charred cabbage, broiled marinated carrots, short rib chili(killer), beet and feta cheese salad, and house made olive oil bread and whipped butter. Every dish great attention to detail, delicious and varied saucing. We could have stopped there, but we continued on to the trout, hangar steak, and 12 oz pork chop. The sauce on that baby was tremendous, and I’m currently finishing the left overs in my hotel room for breakfast covered in that remarkable sauce. Service was spot on, timing was appropriately spaced out. Definitely put Verde on your map.”

“The Sunrise burrito es the best one I ever had, seriously that good! Ordered online for pick up, Burrito was perfect, fresh and the salsas are so good too! Staff is super friendly and genuine, no wonder is packed! Keep up the good work! Im a customer for life now! yum!”

“We absolutely love working with and also dining here at VOX Kitchen Costa Mesa. It’s always a pleasure to support a business that not only serves amazing food, but also treats people with genuine kindness and professionalism. From both a business perspective and as customers, our experience with VOX has been nothing short of excellent. The staff here are always very kind, cordial, welcoming, and respectful. Whether we are working with them directly or coming in to enjoy a meal, they consistently make us feel appreciated and taken care of.

One of the biggest reasons we love coming here is because of their friendly service and, of course, their incredible food. The food at VOX Kitchen is always consistently delicious and has truly never failed us. Every visit has been a great experience, and now that the Costa Mesa location is open, VOX is definitely one of the top places to eat, unwind, and enjoy a great atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to come for lunch, dinner, happy hour, cocktails, or just a fun night out.

Their happy hour and specialty cocktails are another big reason why we enjoy coming here. They have a great variety of unique drinks, and you can tell there is real attention to detail in both the food and beverage program. It really adds to the overall experience and makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy yourself.

Our personal favorites are the Lomo Saltado and the ceviche, both of which are absolutely amazing and a must-try. The Lomo Saltado is always packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and incredibly satisfying every single time. The ceviche is fresh, perfectly prepared, and one of the standout dishes on the menu. Along with that, they offer many specialty cocktails that pair perfectly with the food and make the dining experience even better.

If you’re in the Costa Mesa area and looking for a place with excellent food, amazing service, kind and professional staff, great cocktails, and an all-around enjoyable atmosphere, VOX Kitchen Costa Mesa is definitely a place you need to visit. We truly enjoy both working with them and being customers of theirs, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-quality dining experience.”

“Stopped by The Moon and loved the vibe! The minimalist, the inside aesthetic is beautiful and perfect for relaxing or do some work on computer.
The Pistachio Croissant was flaky and fresh, and their green tea drinks are really good with high quality matcha from Japan.
I really appreciated that they can adjust the sugar levels in their drinks, my Black Sesame Latte was perfect and not too sweet. Great service and even better pastries! 🥐☕️”

“It was a great experience the owner/manager helped us choose food options and the amount of spice each food item to make it the best experience possible, excellent kimchi. The staff was cordial and very attentive. My colleagues and I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.”

“Fun new spot near the airport in Irvine with tasty beer and a great vibe. Tucked back in an industrial area but with a great big outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Inside has a mix of tables couches and bar seating with a fun vibe. Hip music playing throughout. Incredibly friendly staff talk through the beers on tap to help make selections. Taster sized pours mean you can try all of them without feeling guilty. A few seltzers on tap I didn’t try but also a selection of IPAs, IIPAs and pilsners. Brewer has experience from Greek Cheek and excited to see what they have in store. Check it out for sure!”

“Seed Oil Free & Quality ingredients- this place has my heart! 🤩🫶🩷🎉 I was OVERjoyed to learn that the organic sourdough bun was an option- I haven’t had a burger like this in years due to these types of ingredients not being an option where I live. I eat extremely clean foods because I have an autoimmune disease- why is quality food so rare to find?!?!
The special sauce is incredible and the tallow French fries are so so yummy!
We’re from PA and I want this place to come home with us!!!! Hoping to visit Palms n’ Patties again soon! Wish I could have taken pictures- but I ate my burger SO FAST that I didn’t get to capture the goodness!”

“My kids LOVED burgers and fries.
So did we.
We’ve been looking for halal burger for a long time.
Happy that we finally found a good place,even though it’s 40 minutes drive but it’s definitely worth it.”
