New American Restaurants near Cypress, CA

“Great Ribeye! Slightly crispy on the outside and juicy throughout. Also had their homemade Apple Cider Sorbet which was so delicious!We sat in the booths so it was a very classy, cozy atmosphere. Great for taking the parents or in-laws out for a special occasion or just for a nice piece of steak.“

“Wonderful crispy tofu appetizer. For entree we had ahi tuna and also the Scottish salmon with vegetables. Awesome! We ordered a few glasses of chardonnay. It was all delicious in a cozy restaurant with friendly staff that made it a great dinner experience. We arrived at 8.15pm, the kitchen last call is 8.30pm. We ordered everything right away. At 8.30pm they did come around for last call from the kitchen. We had an enjoyable dinner experience.“

“The food was so good!!! And lots of food for the price :)“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love Urban Plates! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and every dish I’ve tried has been bursting with flavor. What really sets Urban Plates apart is their commitment to quality. The salads are vibrant and crisp, the proteins are cooked to perfection, and I can always count on their delicious, house-made sauces to elevate each meal. The option to customize my plate allows me to explore new flavors while sticking to my dietary preferences. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend their favorites. Plus, the commitment to sustainability and using local ingredients makes me feel good about my choices. Whether I’m dining in or grabbing a meal to go, Urban Plates never disappoints. It’s truly one of my favorite spots to enjoy fresh, wholesome food!“

“We had a 40th college reunion there. The ambience was perfect, food was great and the staff were wonderful! Everyone had a great time!“

“Literally one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had. They delivered 25 min after my order was placed. Fries were still crispy!!! Very delicious.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. We sat at the bar and have to give our bartender/waiter Jake a huge shout out. He was the best! Definitely going back again.“

“Very easy to get a large group of folks together and get a booth. Menu has a few good options for everyone. Price point is moderate, not too expensive, 20$-30$ for most entrees, steak and big potions of meat will be 45$-$60. Nice bar area for a drink as well.“

“Everything very tasty, especially Noble Club“

“Claire’s at the Museum is aesthetically pleasing. The view is gorgeous, and the food is delicious! Spent my birthday here and it did not disappoint!! ❤️“

“Food was super I had the lobster linguini and calamari was very very good and the service spectacular“

“Wow! This is a hidden gem! Had a few hours until our flight out of Long Beach. Found this amazing spot for a coffee and was absolutely blown away by the owner(Shannon) and the menu! We ordered 2 coffees a sandwich and a cinnamon roll. The coffees were amazing, the owner made me a custom coffee. I asked for 'Something Sweet' and the drink was so good we ordered a 2nd one. Cinnamon roll was hot, sweet, and cream cheese frosted. Licked the bowl clean! Breakfast Sandwich was made with fresh ingredients and was so tasty! We will plan our future trips to this Airport just to have this coffee and cinnamon roll again! 10/10! Oh and the reggae music jamming is the vibe!!“

“Great beer and food. Recommend the firecracker shrimp appetizer“

“First timer says really good need to go back and try something other than the lobster roll, just for a variety😋“

“We stopped in from Ohio and ate, and it was the best chicken parm we have ever had. We got the chicken parmesian poutine and the Philly cheese steak sandwich and split it, and there was more than enough for two people. I would definately return here.“

“Excellent restaurant the wine was amazing in the ceviche so delish thank you we will be back“

“Stopped in for lunch today after seeing a post on Instagram. It’s nice, clean and right on the corner in the shopping center. It looked like the parking lot was packed but there was plenty of parking upon further review. The waitress was so nice and sweet. (I hate that I didn’t ask her name) I got the Loco Moco and the Beignets. Both were REALLY GOOD. She actually didn’t charge me for the dessert because it didn’t come out the way they liked……. It was GOOD to me!! I am not a fan of creamy, mayonnaise, ranch, béchamel, hollandaise, type of sauce so I chose the safe route this time. It was delicious. Very filling and full of flavor. I will be back again and I did invite my friends already. Thanks Chef! Congratulations!!“

“I brought my sister here for her Bachelorette weekend. We booked the secret room for the evening. We decorated the room, lit some candles, and then one of the hot servers turned out to be the manager, and we had to blow out the candles. They did, however, try to keep our vibe going and brought over some electric candles ✨️

Staff is pretty here, they're all friendly. Bathrooms are interestingly decorated. Boys bathroom has only one room.

The food is WOW. We had steak tartare as a starter, super yum. The French onion soup isn't good. The bourguignon is AMAZING (don't expect it to have noodles). The chicken crepe 😍 The escargot was also delicious. All of the sweets we had were very good - both crème brûle flavors were incredible.

Decor was so cool & very witchy. I recommend having a witch themed-attire to really amp up the energy.

The drinks were creative and tasty. I drank Cerridwen's drink. I didn't realize I loved cherry until then. Their long islands are dangerous ! So watch out.

At some point in the night, Alyssa (our waitress) ran up to tell us that a tarot reader was there. He made the night very interesting and magical.

We made friends in the bathroom, sat down with others at the bar, made more acquaintances, and all the while staff was so much fun and brought the vibe. They made this one of the most memorable nights.

At the end, our responsible friend ushered us outside where we came face-to-face with the manager who had us blow our candles out. We challenged him to a battle... a dance-off. I don't know how many of us did it, but honestly it was ridiculous and amazing. When our Uber arrived, he ensured we were getting in the right vehicle and safe.

The whole night was amazing and we loved how involved/fun the staff was. The whole night felt playful like we were all already friends with everyone there.

Highly recommend. ✨️“

“Very good service and the food was delicious“

“Everything is great at Nick's I hear. Im kinda stuck on the Ch Burgers and Fries. The whole bunch of them are super cool and go out of there way to make sure your happy.. The touch up you made to the store the last few years are nice. Thanks so much for being the best in Town.“

“While traveling from Idaho we were fortunate to have brunch with our dear friends in Long Beach before heading out on a cruise. They took us to this quaint, fun restaurant. Spectacular service, delicious food, Hazelnut coffee, yum! Thanks for the very cool stickers!“

“Was so happy to see that they had vegan options available. Their menu is quite varied and I liked that there is something for everyone. 🥰. I even noticed that they are quite thoughtful like a water-bowl for dogs, etc.
This place is a nice place to hangout by the beach and the playground is just next to it.
We ordered two vegan burritos and an oat milk coffee. The burrito was very delicious, beyond my expectations.
Polite staff.
We are definitely visiting them again!!“

“Hi love it it it it it it it“

“I picked up a DoorDash from this place this morning. I also have lived in and work in Fullerton since 2019. I’ve never heard of this place! But the staff was friendly and it smelled divine in there! Can’t wait to try it!“

“1st time here. Service was great from the greeter, the seater and the waitstaff. Everyone was very friendly & helpful. Breakfast was delicious, I ordered the southwest bowl and alcohol drinks were mixed well with refreshing varieties to choose from. Will definitely be back!“

“I took my very picky 95 year old mother for dinner. We were warned by a friend to order in advance, which was key. She had an enormous fried chicken dinner, which while a bit pricey was delicious. We did use napkins to soak up the oil on the plate first.

I had the Fish and Chips, and it was delicious. Ordered my mom's chicken ahead by 25 minutes. So we only had a five minute wait for her food, important since "hangry" is her middle name.

The one downside which basically ruined dinner for us, and other diners, were a family whose kid was literally screaming, laughing at the top of her lungs for 45 minutes straight. The family sat at the farthest end of the restaurant while their noisy daughter was two tables away. Screaming.

We couldn't hear ourselves talk, and she was literally louder than everything else in the restaurant. The staff were young and hard working, understaffed if anything, and the manager should have had a chat with the family about quieting the child or leaving. It was unconscionably unacceptable behavior by the parents. We figured the daughter was 5-7.

I'm the father of two boys, one of whom was "spirited", but we never allowed that behavior. We either didn't go out with them until they showed they could behave properly, or in the case of a meltdown, we promptly took them outside till they cooled off. We had more than a few dinners where one of us sat in the car with one of boys! Family friendly does not mean "out of control" playground behavior.

I suppose it's not fair to ask the young kids working there to be put in the position of reminding parents that they need to respect their fellow diners. Especially with the level of hate and rage in current society.

But it's also not the role of the customers. We did see a large family wait for five minutes to order, discuss the screaming kid, and left, unable to tolerate it. Oh, and they had kids with them the same age.

Parking was a bit strange. You park in the lot, go through a gate that locks behind you, into the restaurant. But... that same gates locks so you have to walk around the restaurant into the parking lot to get back to your car. You can't use the gate. Not an issue for me, especially after all that fattening food, but my mom was in a wheelchair, so I propped open the gate, walked to the car in the disabled spot, drive closer to my mom, and fetched her and brought her to the car. So if you have folks with you that have limited mobility be aware. This was on a Saturday night, so maybe the gate isn't locked during the day.

The food was great, I'd recommend to plan and order ahead if you don't want a long wait. Not inexpensive or fast food, but worth it. We'll go again.

Parking: See my post for details.

Kid-friendliness: See post.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but beware of the locking gate. See post.“

“Tastes good, come back next time“

“Always have a great meal at Simmzy’s. I had cauliflower tacos and they were excellent (and I’m not a vegetarian). Sweet potato fries were great. I’m the past I’ve had the chicken tortilla soup- it’s one of the best! Pet and child friendly.“

“live entertainment , good service“

“Delicious breakfasts, oh my!“

“Yummy 😋 first time ever, in the heart of 2nd Street and I can't believe I've never been here. I havent eaten beef in a decade, unsure but had a taste for it today. 🤩 We shared all the goodness, short rib pizzzzzzza, BBQ scrumptious and so juicy burger, along with the poke tostada, which was piled high with aoli and fresh tartar.

The staff sets this place apart, all are welcoming, inviting and make you feel like your neighbors, including recommendations that melt in your mouth. Had to get a piece of swag memorabilia ie; truckers hat.....so much gratitude. They always say it's not just the food, yet who was a part of the taste test that matters.......highly recommended, scrumptious and delicious 😋“

“I would suggest mobile ordering. It will be so much faster.“

“What a beautiful place. We had a wonderful evening with amazing staff. We had a large group and the staff was gracious and accommodating. Highly recommend.“
