“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.

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 😋“

“It was a great time for me and my hubby. Great date night. Karen the owner, was very hospitable and so talented. She teaches and gave me techniques to ‘correct’ my paintings. I’m a sweet wine drinker so the moscato was so yummy! We will be back for sure to do another!“

“Tried Ramen Nagi on 1/27/26 while shopping at South Coast Plaza. This was our first time for all in our party of 4. We all ordered the Original and it was great. Very tasty broth, and pork.

The format is that you order in advance off a paper sheet before you are seated. You select the item and then choose the noodle type, the spice level, the oil level, etc. Thereafter your party is seated, offered beverages and appetizers, etc. Pitchers of Ice water and condiments are provided on the tables. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive. Prices averaged about $18 per ramen bowl. Broth was very delicious. Give them a try.“

“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.“

It perfectly combines high-end and casual dining in one beautiful space, offering something for every mood and occasion. The variety of Asian cuisine is incredible — from Japanese and Korean to Chinese, and Vietnamese, every option is authentic and full of flavor. The atmosphere feels modern and lively, and the service is always friendly and attentive. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a special night out, this place has it all.“

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

“They have real chilaquiles not the chips covered in sauce!! Very delicious!“

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

“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.“

“Love those breakfast tacos!!!“

“The cheeseburger was AMAZING!!!“

“We all scream for ice cream 🍨 but we all scream Stella!!! An ice cream place called Stella Jean’s bring refreshing flavors like mango sticky rice. Home made ice cream full of flavor and the highest quality ingredients!“

“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.“

“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 ♥️“

“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.“

“Best oat milk chagachuga - thank you“

“Costa Mesa/Newport Beach, CA 📍hands down 10/10, food and experience. We stopped in here after the wonderful owner, Kurt, invited us down to try his delicious sandwiches! And safe to say we made the right choice. These sandwiches are huge and loaded with fresh ingredients. This location has been here since 2013, however beach hut has been around since the 80’s. They even add cream cheese to some of their sandwiches! 😋 The staff was wonderful, including the owner Kurt. You are missing out if you don’t stop in to get a sandwhich, tell them coco sent you!“

“άψογο μαγαζί και άψογη εξυπηρέτηση“

“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!“

“We loved this place so much we already have made plans to go back. The food was delicious and portion size is great. Friendly crew, helpful and great service. You can also purchase frozen pies to take home which we will be doing“

“Probably one of if not the best burger shops in Costa Mesa, their menu is small but that just means the quality is that much better, I got the regular cheeseburger and their loaded fries, it was packed with so much flavor and it was so fresh“

“The staff are friendly and amazing. Just love going here to spend a relaxing afternoon.“
