“Excellent Brazilian food and I felt somewhat healthy eating everything. Fast casual diner/restaurant located in the Nordstrom Rack plaza. Plenty of parking in the nearby parking structure

Food- 5 stars
We ordered the steak plate, the chicken sandwich and the lemonade. Everything was delicious, fresh and excellent. It also felt pretty healthy, as it didn't feel too bloated from the meal, despite the large amount of carbs. Highly recommend upgrading from the fries to the fried yuca

Service- 5 stars
Fast casual diner vibe, but the servers were efficient and kept the place clean

Bottom Line
Excellent Brazilian fast casual restaurant that offers delicious food that doesn't come with a food coma. Will be coming back!“

“Great spot for pho and noodles. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tastes fresh. The broth is rich and flavorful you can tell it’s been cooking for hours.

The staff is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend trying the garlic noodles and the spring rolls they’re a perfect combo.

Overall, really good food, good value, and a place I’d come back to again.“

“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.“

Element

Element Bistros • $$
305 E 4th St #105, Santa Ana - 7.96 miles

“I went to Europe for two weeks and my entire time there I ate at a lot of tapas places. The only way to describe those places is that they felt like home, they felt warm and places that after a busy and stressful day of work you just want to sit there, rest, replenish and build back the courage to get back to business. Element felt just like that. In the heart of Santa Ana, the heart of Orange County, this place allows you to slow down through the business of life and recharge, laugh, connect with the local community and get right back to it. You can enjoy some incredible food that is cooked with precision and by a chief that enjoys his craft, you can drink some cocktails that have been carefully crafted to suit your needs and you can enjoy a community that cares about you and is proud of their upbringing. If you want to feel at home, if you want to feel refreshed and want to get a taste of the European fun while being close to home, Element is the place to be.“

“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!“

Kinaree Eatery Thai • $$
6741 Quail Hill Pkwy, Irvine - 8.17 miles

“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!“

“My partner and I got the 돼지갈비 김치찜 Pork Rib Kimchi Hot Pot and it was very delicious! We can’t handle too much spice, so they kindly offered us an extra bowl of bone broth to add in. Service was excellent! We got there just after 6pm on a Friday for dinner and there was no wait even without a reservation. It did get packed around 7pm, but there were still a few tables left. Portions were large so we couldn’t finish, but they offered us to-go containers, which made great leftovers the next day. 10/10“
