“We didn't take advantage of the BOGO deal, but should have! The food was fresh and fast, yummy! My friend said the pho broth definitely tasted different from other pho places he has had, had more depth of flavor and umami. He said made his top three! Salted coffee was strong and delicious, not for the faint of heart. Will definitely try the BOGO deal next time I'm in town!”

“Very nice place! I mean but what would you expect from a Marriott? Of course it's going to be perfect. Great layout nice seating and wonderful views. They have both inside and outside seating. They have a fairly simple menu that has a mix of items you'll definitely find something to eat. I went with the burger. It could have been better it was a little greasy and the meat was kind of cheap. I expected a little more than a Cisco Burger patty. Other than the quality complaint I did have a good lunch. Sat outside under the umbrellas the temperature was perfect. The staff was very nice and the food came out fast. This isn't a destination for food but if you're here at the Marriott and you want something to eat this place is a good choice.”

“Been here twice and tried a number of dishes. The parking lot is a little sketch sometimes but the service is always great. They some specialty dishes that I don't see everywhere and I love they open early. Vietnamese breakfast, yes please. Every dish I've had taste a lot cleaner/healthier than the other places in OC. This used to be a coffee shop and they swapped to just restaurant because their food was being raved about. I'm a fan.”

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.”

“Okay I need to talk about Mama Ma's on Culver Drive because I can't stop thinking about this meal. We got the stir fry eggplant, mapo tofu, sweet rice ball soup, and pork dumpling soup and I'm already planning my next visit. The mapo tofu?? Chef's kiss. The tofu is cut into these big, satisfying cubes and the sauce is just right--not too spicy, not too salty, just perfectly balanced. Honestly that dish alone would've made my whole day. And the pork dumpling soup tastes exactly like something my family would make at home--not drowning in sodium, with a broth that actually tastes like real homemade chicken soup. It's the kind of comfort food that I'd find only at home. On top of all that, the staff were so attentive and our food came out fast, and the place itself is spacious and relaxing, which made it even easier to just sit back and enjoy the meal. I'm already thinking about when I can go back!”

“Every time I come back to visit CA we make it a point to visit. Nowhere else can I find ensenada style fish tacos that can rival this place! The grilled yellow peppers and tacos are things that my husband and I LITERALLY dream about from time to time. Quick service, great prices, and probably delicious food. The menu has expanded so much since the first time I came to another location years ago. Glad to see they're growing. Hopefully they make it all the way out to GA eventually”

“I like the big portion of this restaurant. I went 2 people so we ordered 2 dishes. We tried: 1. Pork Back Bone Stew: very huge portion. The meat is soft and you can feel the broth has been well cooked that gives you the sweet and rich taste. 2. Stir Fried Squid (because I love squid!): very good. This dish can be eaten with rice (if you want to be full) or will paired good with a taste of Soju. The portions are big so don't over ordering or you will have some food to go. The food is a little plaint and there's salt to add (if you are a salty food fan) to assure you don't leave the broth behind. You will feel healthy as you leave the place. Will be great to have for hangover or when you are sick. I went on a weekend night for dinner and the restaurant was a little quiet. I think this place is most suitable for lunch. I would definitely come back to try their other stews and pork belly!”

“Delicious food and drinks. I’m appreciative that they also offer a beer selection, and though they’re were all canned/bottled, they’re fresh (recently canned/bottled), and they offer a top notch selection. The atmosphere was intimate yet energetic. The staff were friendly, attentive and seemed genuine. 10/10”

“This place seriously just made my whole week. The food came out super fast and it was all so fresh and flavorful, I basically cleaned my plate without stopping. I got the mussaman curry and it had that perfect mix of sweet and savory with huge chunks of potato and tender chicken. My friend had the pad thai and they said it was the best theyve had in a while too. We just kept talking and eating way longer than we planned because no one wanted to leave. Already trying to figure out when I can come back.”

“Only ever tried the Fire Fries and this is my first time ordering here so I don't know if this is normal for these fries or if I got a weird batch but these are SPICY. I am able to down a pack of Buldak x2 Spicy without a problem so when I say the Fire Fries are spicy, I mean it hurts like the fries hate you, burns it's way down, and while the tongue eventually settles down, my gut is bubbling and it's so painful, I can barely sit straight. Delicious!”
