I miss this place. I've moved to San Diego and the last time I was up in OC, I went searching for this place but it's closed due to Covid. Hopefully this'll be back once everything's over. The fish is perfectly grilled and ssooooo good. The food was delicious and wholesome.

This spot is my favorite. I go to many restaurants but to this place I go the most. The team is very professional and the food they serve is so fresh and tasty. I never decline to have a good meal in this place. I highly recommend this place.

We love going out. Yesterday we went to this delicious restaurant which friends told us about. We enjoyed a delightful time there with great food and an efficient crew and a great chef. We put this place in our list and we shall certainly go again very soon. We highly recommend.

There's a million places you can go to in Costa Mesa to eat and this is the one you WILL to add to your Go-To List. There isn't anything on the menu that I don't like. The quality of the food and the flavor is unlike no other! I love the owners, the old school hip hop playing in the background, and the free kool-aide! Make the trip and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. It really is hard for me just to walk out with a few items. This has always been my order : Beet Hummus, Broccolini, Ceaser Salad, Crispy Shrimp Burrito, flash Fried Cauliflower, Mahi Mahi Wrap, Maitake Mushrooms, Green Goddess, Yellow Tail, and faux handroll.

This was my favorite place in Costa Mesa and I wish they'd open a location in Sacramento The salmon bowl with white rice and Brussels sprouts + green goddess sauce is all I want/need in my life.

Did I just eat here 2x in less than 48 hours? Why yes. Yes I did. The red cabbage salad is hiding on the sides part of the menu so you might miss it. Which would be tragic. Because it is salad perfection. Both times I've had it. Perfectly dressed. Dressing distributed impeccably. Topped with just the right number of 1/2ed cherry tomatoes to make your bites just a bit better. AND A GODDAMNED EDIBLE FLOWER ON TOP. First time I got a grilled shrimp taco and a fried fish. Shockingly the grilled shrimp was notably better. The tacos are just a bit bigger than mini street sized. After 2 tacos and a salad I was still hungry (to be fair, came right after leg day at the gym). Ended up having a bacon, peanut butter and jelly taco around the corner at Taco Asylum as my "dessert taco"- highly recommend Anyway today I went for lunch and ordered the grilled shrimp in the wrap since I knew I was hungry and was having a mental block against ordering 3-4 tacos. The shrimp themselves were super tasty. That and the red cabbage salad and I was definitely full. But. Even tho it contained many of the same ingredients, the wrap just did not live up to the tacos. It still sparked joy, and if I didn't know what I was missing w the tacos I would have been chowing merrily, instead of with just a little regret that I didn't just get over myself and order 4 tacos. Tip- byo silverware if you don't want to use their plastic forks.

Excellent! My husband and I were in the area after an event and wanted to grab something easy, quick and not too heavy since our dinner plans were 2.5 hrs away. It was empty as we walked in but that didn't deter us from dining in. We were greeted happily and welcomed. I didn't get the gentleman's name that took our order, but he was just the type of person you would want at the front lines. He asked if it was our first time in, showed us pictures of their food, and gave us his favorites. We went with the crispy shrimp wrap "burrito" and the cauliflower. Both items were fresh and delicious! The shrimps were battered lightly to a crisp. The cauliflower is flash fried and drizzled with (I think) an aioli cilantro lime sauce. As we were in the middle of our meal...the gentleman who took our order brought us a small bowl of their Ceasar salad!! Talk about going above and beyond! When we were ordering, we were deciding between the cauliflower or the salad. He wanted to let us try one of his favorite item. Oh man, was that freakin good! So good, my husband kept eating it and barely left any for me. If we're ever in the area, I'm definitely coming back. And getting the Ceasar salad.

Different menu. Flavorful combinations that are amazing if you stop and really taste the creative blends that are dancing in your mouth!!!!
Fish portion get smaller. No more Kim Chi side which was really tasty. Service is not friendly.

This is a modern design cafe at The Camp, so it's surrounded by a bunch of other eateries and hipster cool designs. This was recommended to me on this YouTube video I randomly watched--yup I'm a foodie lol. I tried their cauliflower appetizer, crispy shrimp wrap, and steak taco (b/c they ran out of their Bjorn taco I wanted to try). The best thing I had was the cauliflower appetizer ($7)...so good and probably the best cauliflower I have ever had in a delicious green goddess sauce and fried just the right amount. But the steak taco ($3.5) like wow probably the saddest steak taco I have ever had. It was sooo small exactly the palm of my hand (2 bites) and most importantly tasted not that great. They really undelivered with this they obviously can do way better. The crispy shrimp wrap ($12) was pretty basic nothing special or special sauce and I've had better. Overall, this place was overpriced for their portion size and under-delivered in their entrees. I also didn't like the plastics the food was delivered in--felt kind of cheap. If you come here I would get the cauliflower appetizer and with whatever food you decide on get extra green goddess sauce.

This placed is based only on there hours of operations. I have been to this place 3 twice and I have only had there food once, in last 3 weeks. Since the two other times there unable to take orders due to manager/owner not being there at 11am. The other down side is that they won't take phone orders.

Wow just wow! Fish literally tasted like it came straight off the hook, the owner Roy gave me 3 different types of sauces, the crab rolls tasted like butter melting in your mouth a 10/10 recommendation kind of upset I didnt know about this place sooner
