“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.“

“I didn t even know it existed until it showed up on Postmates Everything was super yummy! GP Cobb salad and sweet potato soup with crunchy Brussels yum! Savor the dark chocolate brownie with sea salt And the maple dijon vinaigrette Now that will create a craving! Glad to have found it Reliable choice!“

“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!“

“Couldn't find an all-vegan restaurant in Laguna on a Monday evening (so disappointing), so drove out of our way to SeaBirds in Costa Mesa, and lemme tell you, it was worth the extra time and gas money!! Yossi greeted us with a smile and recommended the homemade pesto rigatoni with almond cheese and toasted gremolata (I chose to eliminate the seitan sausage crumble) -- absolute perfection, and my new favorite meal! Since I live 40 miles away, I rarely get to enjoy this place, and I normally order the purple potato taquitos, but stepped out of my comfort zone and so glad I did!!! Then came the homemade vanilla soda (don't forget to stir it) -- a sweet, nostalgic sensory delight! I rarely have room for dessert, but we tried the famous churro waffle with vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle (called a chaffle), and the chocolate avocado mousse with homemade oreo crumble -- ohmygoodness!!!! Both disappeared faster than we'd like to admit. I love the food here so much that I would crawl back on my hands and knees for another meal if I had to! Outstanding food and service, and proof that exceptional vegan restaurants still exist -- thank goodness! 20 out of 10 stars!!!“

“Great restaurant! The place has a really nice atmosphere, and the food was delicious. The staff were nice and helpful too. They could maybe smile a little more, but honestly, I can understand—they probably deal with so many people throughout the day and were just tired. I definitely didn’t get any bad vibes from them. They seemed like genuinely good, kind people who were simply having a long day. Other than that, I had no issues at all. Great food, nice place, and overall a very good experience!“

“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 ♥️“

“They have the best sandwiches, salads & nachos I’ve ever tasted. Also, their Beer on tap & Wine, plus all the sports you could ever watch…I love BHD - Long Beach‼️🙌🏻😋“

“Especially excellent at this Costa Mesa Mendocino Farms location was Emma Krishhansen, Senior Manager. Her welcoming greeting and accommodating manner were so refreshing. She wanted to be certain our order was correct and it was! She seemed to be a great leader because the staff was productive and happy, especially Christian who helped out with our table clean up.“

“I love Greek/Mediterranean food. This was the best I've had at a sit down restaurant. The chicken shish kebab rivaled a homemade skewer grilled over charcoal - it was absolutely delicious! I want the garlic sauce that came with it in a bottle. The restaurant had a limited number of menus and I came alone, so I had to wait for someone else at another table to finish with theirs, the food took a little long to come out, and the baseboards in the dining area are a bit dirty. Bathroom was clean and everyone was very kind. Would definitely go back!“

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

“I had the GOAT cheese with peach salad. It contained goat cheese, sliced peaches, lettuce, mint, basil, roasted almonds, chicken, pickled onions and a dressing on the side. The salad was perhaps the best salad I have ever had. It was super fresh and all the flavors came through spectacularly. You could taste the mint, the basil and everything else. This is a limited time seasonal item. I highly recommend this one.“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“The last hidden gem in Costa Mesa. This easily tops waiting for chick fil a down the street. I let the cashier guide my order because I was too tired to come to a decision. He suggested the special which was wise of him because it includes 4 karage (tender fried chicken thigh) a potato croquette, 3 cali roll pieces and a salad with potato salad, excellent for a post 9 hour work day meal. My pregnant wife got the 5 piece karage and said it changed her life for the better. I didn’t take pictures because I was so in awe and in the moment. It was photo ready. The food comes out RIPPING hot. Which made us so comfortable eating there, especially pregnant knowing they make everything actually fresh to order, cooked to appropriate temperature to ensure food safety. Not just marketing fresh, there is nothing siting here waiting for you to order, this is not fast food. They tell you it’s going to take a few minutes and it’s worth the wait because they do not compromise on quality here. With that being said it’s not even that long and I will no longer be visiting chick fil a when this place is open and it’s much healthier.
Props to the owners/ cooks/ and cashier for getting us right.“

“Absolutely Awesome!! This location has a great atmosphere and the employees are very attentive and friendly. The food came out fast, hot and fresh!! AND they are open 7 days per week !!! EVERYDAY!!“

“amazing food! fungi pasta was out of this world!“

“Very good kebab wraps ( falafel or beef/lamb with salad. The garlic aioli was pretty delicious and tasty too. Staff are friendly and helpful.“

“First time visiting Takumi Sushi and I immediately want to come back. We ordered a bunch of different items - appetizers, sashimi, sushi, rolls and more.

We ordered the Soft Shell Crab and Salmon Blue Crab and these were delicious! I absolutely loved how lightly battered the soft shell crab was and it was quite meaty. The dipping sauce made it even more delicious. The Salmon Blue Crab is a fan fav. The salmon was so smooth and fatty and the blue crab was flavorful. I could have eaten the whole dish all by myself.

Takumi Sushi has a new style sashimi category that has 5 slices of sashimi. We ordered the Madai (Japanese Snapper) that is served with white truffle oil, lemon, yuzu and black truffle salt. Very unique and the truffle flavor did not overpower the snapper. We also ordered the Bluefin Tuna, Fatty Tuna, Scallop, Sea Urchin and Eel Sushi. All were pretty fresh, but the Fatty Tuna and the Scallop were the best.

For the rolls, we ordered the Mountain Hand Roll (no rice roll) and the Baby Lobster (Crawfish) Roll (baked roll). I love that the Mountain Hand Roll uses a light wrapper and all you taste is fish. This has tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp tempura and spicy crab. Definitely another fav from the menu. All the fish was super fresh. The Baby Lobster Roll is a crab, avocado and cucumber roll and then topped with baked crawfish.Very flavorful and saucy.

We were given great customer service throughout the meal, and everyone came to check in on us multiple times throughout our meal. The servers and the manager were all very friendly. They also gave us some recommendations. The restaurant reminds me of Japan because of the Osaka-inspired decor. Traditional Japanese accents and warm wooden tones. I like how intimate the dining area was set up with booths and the tables further away from each other. There is also a bar area where you can sit and interact with the chefs while they work. A really great spot for dates, quick lunch break or dinner catch ups.“

“Healthy yummy salads, wraps and smoothies. 🥗🌯🥤“

“wings and pizza was awesome hats down“

“Simplemente deliciosas las tortas los jugos y el agua de sandía deliciosa , me gusta toda su comida y su atención muchas gracias bendiciones“

“great food, nice ambient“

“Every Table meal subscription is amazing. Delicious, healthy foods at a very fair price. 5 dinners only $38. The best part is my area has brick and mortar stores where I just walk in and buy my meal prep for the week...Meals cooked in a local kitchen by real chefs with local fresh ingredients. I'm busy all the time and although I love cooking it's hard to cook for just one person. The majority of meals are 600 calories or less. An easy way for me to stay in my calorie deficit. I just had the chicken schwarma bowl and it was soooo good. Tasted just like a home cooked meal. Highly recommend“

“Had the mushroom burger with fries, it was the best burger I’ve had in a while. The service was great! The music wasn’t for me but wasn’t too loud. I will definitely visit Fireside restaurants again and will tell my friends.“

“It was my first time trying this restaurant, and we ordered the Chicken Parm, Chicken Pesto, and Clam Chowder in a bread bowl. The service was quick, and the food was delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend this place!“
