Restaurants in Fountain Valley

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.”

“first time. lovely experience. everything was very good, but not extraordinary. the avocado toast was pretty bland, couldn’t taste the avocado or cream cheese. the turkish coffee was a surprise - i don’t usually drink black coffee unless it’s very good coffee, this one i could drink it black. loved the candy that came with the coffee. service was basic, more like neighborhood family restaurant style, and they both were on the quiet side. the decor was nice and chic, not so fancy. the place was clean and quiet. overall, it’s good but on the pricier end.”

“Came here and found a hidden gem. Probably one the best Banh mi in town. I got the chicken Bahn Mi and the beef Pho and that was spectacular too. Super fresh bread really delicate taste on the Pho. A lot of love goes into the food here you can tell.
Come eat here !”

“Very good environment and food!”

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.”

“Good vibes only! Good foods! Good friends!”

“Great hole-in-the-wall place to get authentic, freshly made Turkish food. The food is not heavy, but nutritionally diverse, and satisfying - it's a great alternative to McDonald's or Costco food after visiting Costco or Costco Gas.”

“Everything was excellent! Service was top notch as well.”

“Friendly staff and service. Broth is flavourful, full of meats and the bowl is very generous.”

“Delicious coconut oatmeal iced coffee the barista made me!”

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.”

“There is no other substitute. The bone in Wings of Fire are exactly what they advertise. I am a rare person that has principles. I demand that my food puts up a good fight. Wings of Fire never lets me down. With pickled radishes and Soju you can’t go wrong. The other flavors are always great. Don’t you sell out on me BB.q”

“Great selection of delicious vegan food. Server was accommodating and gave great recommendations for our kiddos.”

“First time eating there, very nice place food was delicious and the servers was great 😊”

“Super yummy ! Had a appetizer platter and dessert !”

“It definitely has the diner vibe which I love. Food was delicious. Amazing service! Bacon was so good and crispy. I don’t usually like crispy bacon. Eggs fluffy and tasty.”

“Tried this gem for the first time today! Fall off the bone chicken and salmon Alfredo with fresh vegetables was delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious. Definitely a new favorite!”

“Such a lovely place! The lahmacun was so tasty and full of flavor. The atmosphere felt warm and cozy, and the staff were incredibly kind. We felt right at home and truly enjoyed everything.Thank you so much”

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.”

“This place is the real deal. Easily one of the best fish and chips I've had in Orange County if not the best so far. You might convince yourself the near $30 price tag at places like santa monica seafood would give you better fish and chips but it's not the case. the batter here is crispy and much more delicate. not heavy and greasy like the beer battered options. I paid $12 for 3 giant pieces of fish. the value is fantastic and the quality is good. only complaints are that the inside can use a thorough dusting (don't look at the fan) and that the fries have potential to be a lot better. tbh if the fries resembled something closer to European chips I would pay another $10 for this plate happily.”

“Such a fun atmosphere! Great live band playing that night, so much fun. Didn't have food, but drinks were cold and service was fantastic! Friendly quick and considerate. Definitely would come back. 😊”

“Everything we tasted was so fresh, decadent, and full of delicious flavor. Our server was super helpful with her suggestions, and every dish was perfection. Everything came very quickly, but we didn't feel rushed.”

“valuable, set lunch very good. especially Chai Siu Fired rice, homemade Chao Siu is really taste good.”

“The food is fantastic, thick slices of fish, quality ingredients, beautiful garnishes. The shopping center is older but don't let that deter you. Be patient as they are working to get more servers and cooks, worth it.”

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!”

“Ugh.... First the driver delivers half of our order with half of someone else's order. We ordered 2 small pizzas, large chicken caesar salad and 2 large meatballs. We received our two pizzas with someone else's small pizza and mozzarella sticks. We called the store, told them what happened. The other lady missing her food had already called. So they will send a salad and meatballs (and yes, we offered to pay for the extra pizza and mozzarella sticks). 45 minutes later the salad arrives with NO dressing. And 8 tiny meatballs... Bummer!!! PS: We still love you FCP!”

“Very good food & service.
Packed house even though we missed the Sunday dinner rush--we were seated smack in front of the wall & painted-over outlets, etc., very odd, do not recommend that table.
Wish it were closer to us.”

“The croissants were crisp on the outside, buttery and flaky inside. The bread loaves were excellent. I had just returned from Switzerland and was used to bakeries with fresh daily baked goods. This is a great find.”

“So good and server are very friendly”

“Tried here a couple times already. The chicken is consistently good and so was the service. They also have different size in chicken pieces which was cool in my opinion. The fried rice hit the spot tooo”

“I was wowed with the freshness of the sushi and sashimi. There were types of fish I had never heard of like ocean trout, and all of it was delicately seasoned to not overtake the fresh, subtly unique natural flavors of each fish and shellfish. The service could not be more hospitable, charming, and attentive without being imposing. You can ask questions of the staff and chefs who warmly explain specialties. To say that the experience was gourmet and refined is not doing the whole welcoming experience justice for newbies like me. What a pleasure! While the price is elevated for the high quality of the food, I recommend Momoyama enthusiastically and will return at every opportunity.”

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.”

“I have been to many Thai restaurants but this one stands out with tastety food and outstanding service .... strongly recommend you to try their food”

“Very good Thai food. Staff were very friendly. Good price for portions.”

“Walked in to get the viral “giant cheese slice”. I was immediately greeted by everyone, and felt very welcomed! I’ve been here a few times and have always enjoyed the food, staff and music! The owner is super nice guy, who also gave me a free jasmine tea, which I recommend! Super delicious!”

“everything was just great, even the beer.”

“I went there for the first time I ordered 5 piece sashimi was very good and fresh ordered twice and delicious oysters omg 😳 and sashimi scallops was outstanding I give this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We came in an hour or so after they opened on a Friday and there was only one other table occupied.

The food was amazing!!! We ordered the spicy cajun edemame, crispy pork, and tom yum seafood fried rice. All three dishes were wonderfully prepared! Great job to the chefs!

The only thing lacking was the service, but the staff was young, but I would venture to guess that they will learn and the service will get better in time.

We will definitely be returning soon and recommend giving them a try!”

“An Evening at Kin Izakaya: Where Tradition Meets Ambiance In the culinary haven that our city embodies, Kin Izakaya emerges as a sanctuary of authentic Japanese flavors combined with the convivial spirit typical of Japan’s iconic gastropubs. It’s here that tradition and modernity collide to create not just a meal, but an experience worth savoring. The moment you step through the doors of Kin Izakaya, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s both lively and intimately comforting. The ambient lighting, coupled with rustic décor and understated oriental motifs, offers a welcoming reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The soft murmur of patrons engaged in animated conversation sets the backdrop for an authentic izakaya experience. Kin Izakaya’s menu is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese fare and innovative culinary creations. The tapas-style dishes, perfect for sharing, encourage a communal dining experience. From the delicate flavors of their sashimi to the robust, savory notes found in their yakitori selection, there’s a delightful complexity in each dish presented. The agedashi tofu, with its perfect crispy exterior giving way to silken tofu within, is a testament to the chef’s prowess in honoring traditional flavors while serving contemporary palates.”

“Love this place for breakfast very tasty menu❤️”

“The best ramen you will ever eat anywhere. Great service. Great prices. Worth the wait.”

“one of my main source of food...as the kitchen in my house sucks. I just love the personality handing me the care package of nutrition and love at my door.”

“Hi there , I just received my DoorDash order
I called for a small request and the young man working this morning (6/23) made my açaí bowl perfect ! Thank you ,
I didn’t catch his name , but wanted to give him a shoutout ✨ keep up the great customer service”

“Came for brunch and was not disappointed. Going have to come back to try all the dishes. But so far it’s pretty good. The dim sum was nothing special nor bad. I Liked the other dishes but couldn’t try the dinner menu. Service for this establishment was on point.”

“We have been coming to this location for many years. The server was very attentive and was able to answer questions promptly. The steaks and sides were very well seasoned and cooked as per request. We opted for a Dinner for two, and the pricing was good.”

“Great customer service. Apologized several times for the wait. Helped me order a birthday cake to pickup in a couple of days. Very pleasant experience.”

“Good Service I went with my family. They serve the water and the cups were were greasy so they didn’t wash them good so I didn’t drink the water. ”

“This 5-star review is specifically for a SUPER STAR employee, Rosalinda! I'm pretty sure she works late shifts as we've had the pleasure of having her serve us several times recently. Every experience has been wonderful.... Hot, fresh food, made exactly how we like it, served up fast and always with many smiles! It's clear to me that Rosalinda takes her job and her work very seriously and it's so refreshing to see someone with such wonderful work ethic! Rosalinda is such a joy, a true asset to this location and the entire Carl's Jr company! Thank you for always taking such great care of us, Rosalinda! You are the best!”

“We came in last night and had such wonderful service from Ken and Pablo, so we actually were craving Subway again. This time we were met with a different set of employees and were very pleased that we received the same great service as we did last night. Today, Sylvia made our Sandwiches and soup. She was very polite and made our orders perfectly!! It’s quite unusual for me to review a place a second time, and especially this close together, but I just felt led to write this so that management knows they’ve done a heck of a job with these hires! Good job you guys!! Keep it up! We will DEFINITELY be back, and probably not too long from now!! 🙏🤍🤍”

“I’ve been coming here for years. They have the best rolls. They’re a decent size and price. Everything you get from here is fresh and delicious. Everyone I’ve brought here, says it’s their favorite and comes back often. The staff is always kind and friendly. Lindsay and Karen make this place special as well as the male chef. They always remember me, know my order and are so kind and accommodating. I will never, ever, stop coming here!”

“Excellent food and very friendly service. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants now ! Definitely recommend 😊”

“Absolutely loved it here. The food was amazing. ❤️”

“Casual dining
We love the Armenian food - the variety and favorites.
The Lahmajun and sarma are great.
They also have pizza and chicken.
We stop there whenever we are driving anywhere near there.
We also shop at the market next door.”

“Tony knows how to do it right... will recommend”

“This is my favorite raw vegan restaurant! They also have a large menu of cooked vegan (or maybe that should be the other way around). I haven't tried their cooked food, but it looks absolutely delicious! I have not been to LA or the area in many years, and I am missing Au Lac!”

“The food is fantastic, the staff is very friendly. There is plenty of seating if you want to come with a bigger group. The outside seating has plants all around and looks gorgeous. Place is very clean and well maintained. The prices for the food is nice , you get amazing portions for the price. It is definitely become one of my favorite spots and will come here more often when I'm around the area. If you haven't already you need to try food at this spot!”

“I've had several of their pizzas and they never disappoint. 😋

Barbecue Chicken Pizza 👍
Pastrami Pizza 👍
Deluxe Pizza 👍
Baked Wings 👍”

“The best family run small business with Delicious home-cooked food with High quality meats. High quality desserts all handmade. Best place in fountain valley to have lunch.”

“I’ve just tried the cookies and matcha so far but the best cookies I’ve tried in California. And the strawberry matcha was to die for. I live close by and will be going there often but will be biking, running or walking since it’s so delicious ❤️😂👍🏻”

“My favorite place to eat. The service is top-notch, and the owner and staff go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The food is fantastic—my favorite is the pineapple fried rice with chicken, and the protein shakes are great too. Healthy eating has never tasted this good. Highly recommend checking this place out!””

“Best atmosphere!! and Really good food!!!”

“For 20 years, after we have a family get together. Its been a tradition that we all have breakfast at the Magnolia Cafe before we all part ways. It’s always clean, the food is always delicious and the service has always been wonderful. It is truly a special establishment!”

“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!”

“Awesome place to eat some good baked goods. drink some iced drinks and read comics.”

“My favorite place to order cookies! Cookies are excellent and the owner is so nice! I drive 20 miles to pick up my order. I send them to my kids all over the country.”

“Blue Coral - Vietnamese Cruisine. Very nice and clean environment. The service was excellent. And the foods is very delicious and good taste. I would like to make recommendations to all my friends and family members. 👍👍👍”

“You have to come by when Big D’s Blazin BBQ is there. Awesome Tru Tip & pulled pork food! No reason to leave the pool game to get something to eat. Laura serves awesome drinks.”

“I absolutely love this place. I will watch my brother‘s house a couple times a year and his neighborhood is right across the street and so I had popped in once or twice for food and now I am sad that I can’t be here more regularly.”

“Such a solid spot. The beer is great and the food is just as good. The bacon blue is my go-to, but honestly you can’t miss with anything on the menu. The pretzel is unreal, especially with a beer. Super chill place to bring the family or just kick back and have a drink. Definitely recommend.”

“I cant say much about the resuraunt and food itself but it's definitely the best drive-through drinks I've had in awhile, you can definitely tell they put some heart into those drinks! Drive through was quick too.”

“One if the best Pho's in the area hands down. The broth is VERY hot which i love. Ive had the chicken, beef, and shrimp pho and all are consistenly good. The noodles are firmer than most places but it works well since the soup is very hot and the noodles don't turn to mush.”

“I gave an earlier bad review because of a to go order where they gave one strawberry for a berry basket meal. I have gone back since and it's really great. The fruit serving in the berry basket has been generous and everything tastes great! I gave a 4 star in service instead of five because a male employee did not help me right away with my pickup order just stared at me and went back to flirting with another female employee. Only when I stood there like an idiot for a while (maybe a like 4 to 5 minutes) then he gave me my pick up order. But it's ok I totally understand to be young and in love! Slay king slay as the kids would say”

“Best chicken and best sauce!”

“You know why you're here. This is the place you go to for big portions at a great deal. Everything is super tasty and the ladies helping are all super friendly. I share a combo with my fiance and we always have leftovers. Cheaper than eating fast food and bigger portions”

“We often get pie to go from here. We ate inside the restaurant for the first time yesterday. The service was great thanks to Chris. We loved the kids eat free special. Food prices were fair and the quality was on par. We’ll be back.”

“I got the banh khot tom and they were so gooood! Light and crispy, goes so well with the sweet and sour fish sauce, remember me of the banh khot I had in Vung Tau a long time ago. A reminder to tell the cashier how much you want to tip as they can only add it before coming to the total bill, unless you do it in cash.”

“Al Pastor and Carnitas Tacos were on point! Carne Asada could have had some more char on it, but the flavor was there. Hand made tortillas and salsas are great! No Templeton sighting on this trip. 🐙”

“My husband and I are staying locally we looked for a highly recommended breakfast place via Google ❤️ this place is amazing 🤩 I ordered online, to go, & I love that they paid attention to our special requests 😋 great food 🍔 great donuts 🍩 great coffee ☕️”

“Sushi Koto is always a treat for me. I love to come here for what I feel is the next best thing to eating in Japan. There is always a wait for Sunday brunch, but they do take reservations. Excellent service and friendly staff. This is definitely not your ordinary neighborhood Japanese restaurant. Highly recommend it!”

“it was my first time, I enjoyed my French toast”

“The staff were so friendly. As a student group from the University of Northern Colorado. We appreciated their kindness and great drinks.”

“First time coming here looking to buy a gift for a coffee lover. Great customer service, came in at noon, rang the bell & had immediate service. Got a 1lb of seasonal Pumpkin Spice & their most popular beans, Hawaiian Hazelnut.

It’s a small reception counter with display of their loose leaf teas. Table & chairs outside. Limited parking but ample street parking.”

“Carlito's Diners food is outstanding! Their menu is hugh. Great breakfast, Mexican or American food and all is over the top good! Thanks you guys for the best Chile relleno I believe I have ever had!”

“Classic pizzeria style taste & atmosphere. Not something you see much anymore and I feel is a lost art. Very underappreciated, nice to see it alive here.”

“I had an incredibly genuine Portuguese shopping experience. The staff were so helpful, and they had a delightful selection. I finally found a place to buy my favorite cheese, which I’ve missed so much since I moved back to the USA from Portugal.”

“They have the best Canh Chu Ca! Really really. My family has been going for years. We crave it. When we tried to go on a Tuesday and they were closed we went elsewhere but it just wasn't as good. Mirada cooks the fish so that it is still so succulent. The flavor of the broth is perfectly balanced and tart. Please give this place a try for healthy Vietnamese food.”

“I recommend this sizzlers in Moreno Valley! Frida helped us out and was quick, friendly and efficient. Thank you so much Frida 😊”

“Been going for 60 years. Even during Thomasitos and Space Cat being open across from the Original Rampart/Beverly location. Always a favorite, 24/7”

“7 Leaves Cafe and Crema Bakery paired up be Artisan. You get the same 7 Leaves drinks but this location offer foods like pizzas, various baked goods and brunch/dinner.

We always come late when items are sold out so can’t comment on their food. Except for the pop corn chicken, it has the right amount of spice and crispness.

This place is spacious inside and filled with students. Their drinks are consistent. Be sure to look at the app for their “shh..” menu which is their secret menu. I always get Tea-Tex which is mung bean with matcha.”

“Awesome tacos, good flavor, nice sauces and good option,Try the tortas, horchata,My favorites here are the pastor meat (almost as good as in Mexico City) cabeza tacos.Taco Tuesday $1 tacosHandmade tortillas”

“great food , great service . super clean. we will be back forsure”

“The food is delicious I’ll be back for more love their panang curry 😋”

“Very good frozen yogurt. nice and clean inside. BUT..... Horrible Staff. young girl is sweet but the 3 old ladies were extremely Rude, Crabby, and Mean”

“Great selection of delicious vegan food. Server was accommodating and gave great recommendations for our kiddos.”

“Awesome service, went there to get one of their amazingly delicious ice cream cakes as my son’s birthday was coming. The staff was really nice, they answered all my queries. Best ice cream in town. I’ll be back soon.”

“Great customer service. Apologized several times for the wait. Helped me order a birthday cake to pickup in a couple of days. Very pleasant experience.”

“The strawberry shortcake cake was fantastic. It was beautiful and delicious. I will definitely order again.”

“CONGRATULATIONS .... FÉLICITATIONS”

“It was my first time going to this restaurant; it was recommended to have the Seabass and it was absolutely positively delicious. the family realized it was my first time coming to the restaurant - the decision to let me try their soup with okra and I have to say I wish I could get the recipes if you get a chance and I are in the area I would highly recommend this restaurant the staff was very kind friendly and very attentive”

“Probably the best bakery in Southern California… the cakes are perfect and the decorations always amazing and incredibly creative! I’ve ordered cupcakes and cakes from here several times and always been amazed!!!!! Highly recommended!!”

“We have been coming to this location for many years. The server was very attentive and was able to answer questions promptly. The steaks and sides were very well seasoned and cooked as per request. We opted for a Dinner for two, and the pricing was good.”

“The best family run small business with Delicious home-cooked food with High quality meats. High quality desserts all handmade. Best place in fountain valley to have lunch.”

“The worker who took my order today his name was Zane and he was full of so much energy and helped me pick a drink I have a tough time deciding and he was happy to give his input and help me choose.His service was amazing and he was full of energy he made my visit extremely nice I can't wait to go back to dutch bros!”

“Love this place for breakfast very tasty menu❤️”

“Such a lovely place! The lahmacun was so tasty and full of flavor. The atmosphere felt warm and cozy, and the staff were incredibly kind. We felt right at home and truly enjoyed everything.Thank you so much”

“I've been here several times and the food is always cooked perfectly and tastes great. I've ordered several different dishes, and my favorites have been their protein bowls and their battered fish tacos which are perfectly crispy. My only real complaint is that I wish it was spicier or that they offered a hot sauce (they might, but I've never seen it). I will say it does get a bit expensive, but I'm willing to pay for this quality and quantity of food. Also, the service has always been excellent and very helpful.”

“Friendly staff and service. Broth is flavourful, full of meats and the bowl is very generous.”

“I gave an earlier bad review because of a to go order where they gave one strawberry for a berry basket meal. I have gone back since and it's really great.

Slay king slay as the kids would say”

“You go for the burgers and fries... And the frosted aren't bad. The Web page or app is fair to muddling, but no where as good as MacDonald s. Cost is high. The specials aren't very good. But those quarter pounder are very good.”

“great food great service and to those who don't recommend this place y'all don't know what your talking about!”

“I recommend this sizzlers in Moreno Valley! Frida helped us out and was quick, friendly and efficient. Thank you so much Frida 😊”

“Tried this gem for the first time today! Fall off the bone chicken and salmon Alfredo with fresh vegetables was delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious. Definitely a new favorite!”

“Best chicken and best sauce!”

“Good and convenient place to get Crumbl cookies, if you like them. Closes an hour later than most other ones (at 11p.m.) so if you're craving late night cookies, then this should be your go-to for gourmet style cake like cookies. Otherwise, just go to Mcdonalds, hehe.”

“The Yuzu Shio Paitan ramen here is absolutely amazing! The broth has a deep, authentic Japanese dashi flavor, and the yuzu adds a bright, refreshing aroma. It’s perfectly balanced and incredibly delicious one of the best ramen bowls I’ve had in the U.S.”

“Everything is so good and so delicious, I went there with my husband, the restuarant is clean and nice quite we order chicken fried rice also shrimp fried rice, chicken larb and hor mok talay in young coconut all great food and very good service we enjoy and already plan to go for next time😍”

“Went here for Sunday brunch. Parking was easy and plenty. There is a special game deal for $35 ($39 w/ tax) for a 20” pizza (cheese or pepperoni), 3 meatballs, and 2 cookies. The place is nice, chill, family, easy and nice vibe. Plenty of TVs for game shows. Fountain drink w/ condiments is on one side self serve. Both plenty of seating inside and outside. Great, friendly, helpful service. The meatballs are tasty & moist. Pizza is good but the dough is okey. The size is HUGE and for the prices, it definitely a great deal. The slices are huge, it’s like double the regular size from other places. Overall, good price, good foods, great service and great place to hangout for game days or with family & friends.”

“Just bumped into the owners and they are such a lovely couple! They take any type of criticism/ feedback very seriously and take it into consideration for the future. Both times we’ve went, the drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the hojicha oat latte!”

“This is our new favorite local Mexican restaurant! I’m Mexican & super picky when it comes to authentic Mexican food. I’m very excited & happy to have taqueria so close to home. The food was delicious & the service was outstanding! The servers make you feel very at home. We’re definitely coming back many more times💕”
