Restaurants in Fountain Valley

“Super cute spot for brunch! A bit of a hidden spot off the main road. My breakfast platter was a mixture of various in-house made items with a little mix of sweet and salty. Very cute interior and kind family running the restaurant.”

“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.”

“I had an amazing dining experience at Halalglu Turkish Restaurant in Costa Mesa. Not only is the food authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor, but the staff is truly incredible! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The team was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was perfect.

Every dish was cooked to perfection. The spices and fresh ingredients brought out the best in every bite. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making it a great spot for any occasion.

As a halal restaurant, it’s also a top choice for those looking for delicious and quality halal options. I highly recommend Halalglu to anyone in Costa Mesa looking for outstanding Turkish cuisine and impeccable service. I’ll definitely be returning!”

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

“Amazing Pho, beautiful balance of flavours, we got the veggie and tofu. And the fresh tofu salad rolls. Service was high standard. The staff member was so friendly and attentive. Loved our lunch 😋”

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

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

“Very good environment and food!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“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!”

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

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

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

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

“I had the lahmacun at Adana Grill and it was absolutely delicious. Thin, crispy, and full of flavor just like in Turkey. The service was friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. I’ll definitely come back!”

“Taste of Beauty deserves a 1 Michelin star for their superb presentation, flavorful & innovative vegan dishes, the serene atmosphere, excellent service and overall beautiful restaurant. A special shoutout to Anthony for his thorough explanation of the different stories behind the names and the 8 dishes and for George Guo for his unique tea ceremony. Bravo!”

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!”

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

“It was our first time here and we absolutely loved it! The quality of the sushi and the flavor were outstanding. We will definitely come back! Thank you for the wonderful service and food! 🙏🏻👏🏼”

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

“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.”

“First impression of the owner: Wow what a nice guy! Me and my wife are intermittent fasting here and there so we needed a place that would taste like our home cooked meals and we found it! Taking a break from cooking we felt lucky to find something healthy like this. They were even offering protein donuts this week which were quite delicious. We are exploring all the eats for a proper gym nut and this place pops up 7 mins away from home. How lucky is that?! Overall fantastic experience made my day :)

We had salmon, rice and broccoli for our little one. Teriyaki sauce for the rice

Shrimp & pineapple fried rice w 2 spicy sauces

Steak, potatoes and asparagus

2 Lemon berry protein donuts”

“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.”

“This is the perfect place to get freshly roasted whole beans, or ground to your desire. When I say fresh, I mean today or in the last couple days! Good prices and truly nice and knowledgeable staff and owners. Quality beans from around the world, even flavored the way you want, and great teas, too. Many high-end bakeries and restaurants use their beans, too.”

“The food here during the Happy Hour was way better than I expected! Gourmet quality ...It's the best Vietnamese food I ever had! Service was good and pretty quick. Reasonable too. A bit noisy with lots of people but the exceptional delicious food outweighs the noise.
Restroom could be improved with real flooring instead of drab concrete that has rust colored areas in the high traffic zone .”

“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.”

“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!”

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

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

“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. 🐙”

“I cannot understand how Momoyama has anything less than a perfect five star rating.

We weren’t aware that it was single seating omakase as we happened upon this restaurant. We arrived an hour before their seating and they mention we had to make a reservation. We ended up getting the last one for the evening. We shopped around the area until it was time.

When we came back, the manager, Ryan, greeted us by name and guided us to our seat, even allowing space for my purse. There were seven total guests for the evening all seated at the bar in front of the chefs.

Ryan kindly introduced the chefs and everyone made us feel so welcome. He recommended the most delicious sake I have ever had, and continued to monitor our drink levels, refilling as needed. We didn’t need to ask for anything even once.

The food itself was one of the top three meals of my life, and I’ve eaten at many sushi restaurants, and Michelin star restaurants. As a fan of sauces and soy sauce, I was worried there wasn’t any offered, but each bite was so perfectly balanced I didn’t need anything else.

The pacing of the meal was appropriate, and I remarked how smoothly each dish came out considering this can be quite difficult with multiple parties and different eating speeds. But we never felt rushed nor like we were waiting on anyone.

The care and attention to detail was present in every morsel, every moment, down to the elegant quiet jazz music. Ryan and our chefs made warm chit chat without disturbing our dinner. We felt comfortable even with the high quality of food and service (which can sometimes make one feel like they need to “perform formality”).

The evening was the most delightful surprise and I can’t wait to go back. I will never stop recommending Momoyama to friends and visitors for the most elegant and delicious sushi in Orange County.”

“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”

“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.”

“everything was just great, even the beer.”

“Excellent food and service. Thanks Jonathan for all you do to help out the community.👍”

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

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Love this place for breakfast very tasty menu❤️”

“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!”

“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”

“When we walked into the Fountain Valley, CA, we were quickly greeted and seated. Very friendly. Jaimmy was our waiter. Again, very friendly and efficient. Our food was very tasty. The brussel sprouts were excellent save for a little too much sauce, which took away the delicious crunchiness. The only complaint we have is the Sky High Mud Pie is still on the menu. This is the 2nd time we ordered it only to be informed it is not available. :( When we left, the person st the front desk told us goodbye. Overall, very pleased! Thank you. Nancy”

“I moved to Louisiana a couple years ago and miss this place sooo much!! Mama is so sweet. She always took care of me! One time my blood sugar dropped while i was waiting for my naan and she fixed me up a little plate so fast and sat with me to make sure i was ok. The food there is delicious! I can’t find it here like they make it! My favorites are vegetable korma - saag aloo - and chicken tiki masala!”

“This location actually gets the order right 3/3 they had sauce, burgers, sides, drinks every thing right! Another location got everything wrong 3out 3 ( i tried 3 separate orders)... Thank you for going above and beyond! Will be coming here from now on.”

“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. ”

“Elvira Garcia the store Manager is Amazing. The other staff members are awesome. It's always so clean and food is excellent. I would recommend to all my friends and family.”

“Sushi Plus is a gem! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the customer service is truly something special. It has that small-town warmth that makes you feel like family every time you walk through the door.

As someone with celiac disease, finding a place that takes gluten-free dining seriously can be hard—but Karen, Yukon, and the whole team go above and beyond. They remember my dietary needs, take every precaution, and I have never gotten sick. I always feel safe eating here, and that peace of mind means everything. (Did I mention the food is DELICIOUS?!)

Thank you for your continued care, kindness, and amazing food! One of the favorite weekly meals with my husband. 😊”

“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!”

“10/31/2024 = 5 Star = Another visit and No issue at all , I do recommend to Family and friends.

8/30/2023 = 5 Star = 1st time here , good food and good people , will keep going back .”

“Moonlight Pizza and Chicken – Hidden Gem -Middle Eastern / Mediterranean buffet

I came across Moonlight Pizza and Chicken while exploring near Westminster and it turned out to be an incredible find. They offer a Middle Eastern open buffet that’s truly unbeatable for the price — $14.99 for lunch and $15.99 for dinner. Honestly, for the variety and quality, it’s an amazing deal.

The buffet spread is full of authentic flavors — the lamb stew was juicy and flavorful, the stew was rich and comforting, and the tabbouleh, hummus, and fresh salad options were top-notch. Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned.

What makes it even more special is that this is a family-owned restaurant with over 30 years of history. You can really feel the warmth and hospitality in the service — the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They also offer catering services, which I can easily imagine being a hit for any event.

The food has a wonderful blend of Turkish, Armenian, Arabic, and Persian influences, making the flavors both unique and familiar at the same time. It’s a place where you’ll want to go back again and again, not just for the food, but also for the atmosphere and kindness of the people running it.

Great value
Authentic flavors
Warm, family-owned feel

Definitely a spot worth visiting — delicious food, amazing people, and a buffet deal that’s hard to beat.”

“Hidden gem! Needed a quick bite with the kiddos and tried this place. Glad I did because the food was amazing. I got the blue cheese bacon burger and it's one of the best burgers I've had. Patty cooked perfectly and all ingredients compliment each other. Yummmmmm.

The chicken tenders are better than average and good enough for the kids. They loved the shoestring fries so did I. They had a 2 player arcade cabinet that kept them occupied while waiting for the food.

Great place! Would eat here again!”

“Ikram Bakery – Shawarma, Falafel & Sweets That Keep You Coming Back

If you’re in Orange County and craving legit Mediterranean flavors, Ikram Bakery is where it’s at. Their shawarma is juicy, packed with spice, and wrapped in the freshest bread. The falafel is perfectly crispy outside, soft and herby inside—no dry bites here.

Then there’s the baklava—flaky n just the right amount of sweet. Pair it with their simit, a fresh, sesame-crusted Turkish bagel, or a bowl of sütlaç (Turkish rice pudding) if you’re in the mood for something creamy and comforting, suggest always take some to go.

And if you have time? Sit down with a cup of their Turkish coffee—strong, rich, and the perfect way to end your meal. Tried it once, and now I’m a customer for life. 🔥🥙🥯☕🇹🇷”

“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!”

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

“Great service 👏 they actually answered the questions I had ! especially on the ice coffee horchata
They make their horchata by scratch they don't add no powder horchata, which I was very satisfied
The cookies are huge and delicious. My wife loves cookies, so she was very happy that I brought her here at this cookie spot 😋 and the banana pudding. It's great too ! The ice coffee horchata was 💯 really, really good they add cinnamon powder on top for free because there's other places that charge extra fee for some cinnamon powder 👍 if you're craving something delicious like cookies and ice coffee horchata. This is the spot!”

“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!”

“Very popular. Please get the long hair man with dog to stop loitering all nite ,sleeping in car with dog . Green Jetta car, every day sleeping in car in front of location here . Easy to see same guy , cycles loitering here , sleeps in car at nite”

“Very tasty! I got the soy sauce fried chicken and soon tofu soup with dumplings. I would eat another plate of chicken right now if I had it. I got medium spicy soup but it was pretty mild, someone else at our table got very spicy and said it was mild as well. I'll probably try it a level or two spicier next time, but your mileage may vary.”

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

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

“Hell yeah! This chicken is one of the best. Juicy, crunchy, & very delicious and satisfying. Fast service can't go wrong with this place 👌 I definitely will return & recommend. Absolutely loved it.”

“Dining at Tsuruichi Wagyu is an unforgettable experience for anyone who appreciates the artistry and flavor of premium Japanese beef. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by an elegant yet cozy atmosphere that sets the stage for a meal that is both refined and deeply satisfying.

The star of the menu is, without a doubt, the Wagyu beef. Each cut is carefully selected for its marbling and tenderness, and the quality truly shines through in every bite. The A5 Wagyu was nothing short of extraordinary—rich, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Whether grilled to perfection at your table or prepared in one of the chef’s expertly crafted dishes, the beef here is a masterclass in flavor and texture.

The Wagu experience is highly recommended for those who want to explore the full range of what Tsuruichi Wagyu has to offer. Each course is thoughtfully presented, highlighting the versatility of Wagyu in both traditional and innovative preparations. The pairing of sauces and sides, from the delicate ponzu to the house-made pickles, enhances the meat without overshadowing its natural flavor.

The service at Tsuruichi Wagyu is impeccable. The staff is attentive and well-versed in the nuances of Wagyu, providing helpful recommendations and ensuring that each guest’s preferences are met. The attention to detail, from the presentation of the dishes to the timing of each course, adds to the overall experience, making it feel truly special.

The ambiance is intimate yet sophisticated, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a special celebration. The combination of luxurious food, exceptional service, and a serene atmosphere makes Tsuruichi Wagyu a standout destination for any Wagyu enthusiast.

Overall, Tsuruichi Wagyu offers a dining experience that is both luxurious and deeply satisfying. It’s a place where every element, from the quality of the ingredients to the elegance of the presentation, is designed to celebrate the art of Wagyu. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to indulge in one of Japan’s finest culinary traditions.”

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

“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. 👍👍👍”

“Ordered a variety of items and my expectations were blown out of the water. I could not recommend this restaurant enough. As a very frugal individual, I would gladly pay anytime for this echelon of quality. If you are looking for a top notch Japanese grilling experience, this restaurant is THE best if not one of the best choices you could decide on.

The servers are also very nice, and the atmosphere is cozy. 10/10!”

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

“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.”

“Breakfast burrito was better than expected. It was very good actually, fluffy, not burnt, eggs, crispy, not oily hash browns, country potato's, and plenty of flavorful meat.
I have a hard time taking a pic of my food before I eat it. I really don't know how people do it 😜”

“Best chicken and best sauce!”

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

“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.”

“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”

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

“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!”

“Have been ordering pizza here since they opened. NEVER had a bad pizza. The BEST consistent local small chain in the area. Great staff. Always friendly. They even laugh at my dumb jokes but the pizza is great. Thanks WALA”

“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. 😊”

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

“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 come here for the breakfast croissants. ? Absolutely delicious! I haven't tried any of the donuts yet but they look really tasty. Someday I'll cave and order a dozen for myself.”

“First time here. The location, service, and food were all excellent. 💯 I got the avocado, turkey & bacon sub with potato salad. Everything was delicious and so fresh! 😋 If you're ever in town, this is the place to go.”

“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”

“IN CALIFORNIA, SOMETHING I COME HERE.”

“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.”

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

“Thank You Madison for the great customer service. Not too many places can left where they remember just your face but she also remembers the the food way You order your food. Thank You Madison and for helping papa z's be one of the few restaurants that I can feel better about supporting.”

“7 Leaves is my go-to for milk tea. This place is beautiful when you walk in, absolutely love the theme.

They have a huge variety of flavors for macarons and milk tea, plus lots of other drinks are served too. My favorite is the Taro milk tea.
The drinks and macarons are very flavorful. A lot of other milk tea I have from different places tastes more watery than the tea at 7 Leaves, they do an excellent job with their drinks.

However the macarons are a little bit out of the expected price range, but still worth trying out!

The service is very nice and hardworking, keeping the place clean, and most importantly, having customers leave satisfied!”

“I don’t usually review fast food but this place is the most dialed Panda I’ve ever visited; packed, busy as can be and everything is still fresh well made and entire place is clean. 👏”
