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.”

“What a wonderful brunch. We shared the breakfast platter and it was plenty for three people! Well we did have a couple of extras like a spinach boreck and an extra Simit!
Not only is the food wonderful, but the service and the beautiful personalities of the owner and her son and everybody working there was delightful.
Teşekkür ederim! !!
We'll be back.
❤️”

“Linh, our server was super friendly and pleasant. She always smile and attentive to her customers. You always feel happy to have her serve you. She's best at her jobs. She has great personality and superb skills with customers. Phở, rice with Salmon, rice with lemon grass chicken are so good. There portions are huge. Your money are well spent here. As for dessert, you also get free chè đậu xanh(mung bean sweet dessert) I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely come back again and again. Thank you Linh for your kind service ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆”

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

“This restaurant has a a minimalist clean, white decor. The staff was kind, and the sushi chefs at the counter seemed very friendly and engaged with the guests.
I went on a weekend for their lunch set tasting menu. Everything was executed well, though the dishes followed a very consistent flavor profile throughout the meal. While it was all very good and high quality, don't expect anything experimental or wild.
You will probably want to order a few extra items a la carte to feel fully satisfied. At around $225–$300 for lunch for two, the price tag feels a bit steep for a midday meal, but you are definitely paying for quality ingredients and a tasting experience.”

“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.”

“Very good environment and food!”

“Best pita “burger” I’ve ever had. The kufta was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and the pita was soft and fresh. Definitely worth ordering again. Name of meal was Kufta Wrap with Pita.”

“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.”

“Absolutely loved this Thai station! The food was authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Every dish was perfectly seasoned and reminded me of home. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a warm atmosphere. If you’re looking for delicious Thai and Lao food, I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back!”

“Best Diner in town hands down, if you’re looking for some old school home cooking this is it. 10/10 never fails! My fave is the western omelette and the Machaca burrito is the best I’ve had. Soo good!”

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

“If God own a Fish N Chips restaurant this would be it ! It's been around longer than Moses. Recipe never changed. Only the highest quality fish is hand selected for each meal. Enjoy.”

“As a Turkish person who has lived in the U.S. for over 20 years, I can honestly say this is some of the most authentic Turkish food I've had here. The staff is warm and welcoming, the service is excellent. If you're looking for genuine Turkish cuisine, I highly recommend this place.”

“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!”

“Round two and still obsessed! 🍜✨ We came back to NEP Cafe specifically for their incredible Vietnamese fusion food—they nail that modern twist every single time. The staff is total pro-status, the decor is major eye candy, and it's easily our favorite spot to vibe with family and friends. 10/10 will be back again!”

“Always a blast at the Blarney Stone! Regulars that will make your day and bartenders that know your drink! They are hard working and great people you will love them all no matter who is working! All the memories and Great Wall decor it’s worth checking it all out! Different things going on all the time no matter what day of the week! I go every time I visit Orange county! You may just find your people here !! Cheers!
(Also.. you can get food next door , just ask and anyone will tell ya! I recommend the carne asada fries)
Forever grateful for the people I have met here!”

“I think I just found a hidden gem sushi spot! Since the new owner came in, this place has completely leveled up in the best way. The interior got a fresh makeover and feels way more modern and cozy.
The sushi and sashimi are super fresh, and you can really taste the upgrade in quality. The rolls are next-level good now — seriously so much better than before!
On top of that, the staff and owner are all super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely giving good vibes all around.
This is officially my new go-to hidden gem sushi spot — I’ll 100% be coming back again and again! 🍣✨”

“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.”

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

“Great wings and full flavor,
The service is great and draft beer.
Enjoyed all the tvs as well for distraction from all the bones sucking flavors!”

“everything was just great, even the beer.”

“Love this place for breakfast very tasty menu❤️”

“This place is so good every time we go and order it’s sooooo good. Their food is made fresh and delicious. It’s my favorite Indian food restaurant. Me and my family love it so much we drive for like 20 min to get it instead of another closer Indian food place that couldn’t even come close to this one. I definitely recommend getting this”

“Our first time here, and we had a great experience! The food, service, and ambiance were all excellent. My husband’s favorite was the braised pork over rice, our teen boy loved the lamb dip, and my favorite was the mango forbidden ice snow. Prices are very reasonable for the food quality and overall experience. Good to know they take reservations.We’ll definitely be back!”

“The food was delicious. We both have the New York strip. It took 2 hours for the overall experience. It seemed the kitchen was slow and they were missing servers. The food was good but didn't expect to spend that much time there.”

“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.”

“I love these bowls so much but why do the employees never know how to calculate the serving sizes. Every time I come it’s always for sure a mess to eat my bowl.”

“This place is great. Any store that can be open at 3am just to satisfy my craving for a sweet onion teriyaki sandwich is automatically a 5 star place! Thanks for staying open 24 hours Subway!”

“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. ”

“I went to this carls jr and got the newest ice coffee and it was sooo delicious. I recommended going to this location because the dine is super clean and the service is fantastic and friendly.”

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

“I was in town for a tournament, we had dinner here both nights! Food is delicious and the staff is very helpful and friendly.
We had the Country fried tri-tip, Pesto Chicken sandwich and Short rib grilled cheese with Onion rings. All super good. Must stop by!!”

“The matcha tastes authentic and great favor. Real stuff!
The shop was designed with modern look and high-quality lights.
Clean and professional.”

“Mashallah, a total hidden gem! The food is delicious, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. It’s owned by a truly genuine, loving family, and that care really shows in the quality of the experience. Will definitely be coming back!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Excellent donar, burek and baklava. Of course the coffee is great too.”

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

“Marco is a phenomenal asset to the Paderia team! I recently started visiting this location, and I am beyond impressed. The service is outstanding, the drinks are delicious, and the cookies are absolutely amazing. Every visit has been a great experience thanks to Marco and his incredible staff, Mikayla and Jaydin.

They are all friendly, welcoming, and clearly take pride in providing excellent customer service. It’s refreshing to see a team that truly cares about the customer experience. I will definitely continue coming back and recommending this location to others!”

“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.”

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

“This place NEVER disappoints. Every other pizza shop is a complete rip off and pales in comparison to the quality and price of this establishment. The pizza always comes out commercial ready, and I mean picturesque without sacrificing the taste. The ingredients are always fresh and their pies show. Do not believe me, try it for yourself.”

“Fresh, healthy food with a super quick turnaround 🙌 The staff is genuinely friendly and the whole place is spotless every time I come in. You can tell they really care about both the quality of the food and the customer experience. Definitely a go-to when I want something clean, fast, and satisfying.”

“We need to keep this place around.

Crazy good prices. If you need a solid go-to for cookies and donuts, go here.

I don't need anything fancy that's $10 a cookie. I need a good chocolate chip cookie that doesn't give me a heart attack. This place is it.”

“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”

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

“We came on a Wednesday night after baseball with the kids. Clean, mellow, and friendly spot. The food was delish! Clean for burgers and fries… and the seasoning, temp, and crispiness of the fries was amazing. You can tell they use high quality ingredients and care about each dish coming out! Yum! We will be back!”

“You want that classic diner feel with great service and food to match? Papa Zs is the place my friend. In my youth it was the place to go when I was hungover with friends. Now it’s a place where I go with the family. I absolutely love this place!

Should you go to Papa Zs? Hell yah dude!”

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

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!”

“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. 🐙”

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

“This place is great to hang out! Super friendly staff. Nice selection of drinks. Ample dart space and pool tables. The crowd vibe is chill and everyone was very friendly.”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“We came late on Sunday late afternoon so not much left. The strawberry croissants are done and only a handle of baked goods with cakes and breads are left. This location is in not a friendliness neighborhood but it’s big and has their packing lot. Very spacious inside and huge seating area for dine in. Customer service is okey, could be friendlier but it’s late in the day and they have like an hr left before closing. Their breads are excellent, cakes are good, and baked goods are very good. We got 3 items to go for breakfast and prices wise, decent and reasonable.”

“Paul’s is a great place to eat & hang out! True Veteran’s friend, and the donuts 🍩 are the best!”

“If you're looking for a subscription on coffee this is the go-to. Incredible coffee and varieties. Been drinking for years and can't start my day without it!!
Start with Espresso Italian Roast!”

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

“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!”

“Our family go to for years! Best prices, delicious food, and very very generous portions! We have used them to cater birthday parties and more. So easy to work with and they take both cash and credit (with a slight fee for using credit). Go to is the house chicken, coconut shrimp, bbq pork, string beans, and the orange chicken. Be prepared to wait, I went around 5:30 on a Friday and it took about 30 mins and line was out the door. If that doesn’t tell you how delicious and amazing the place is I don’t know what more convincing you need.”

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

“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 ☕️”

“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”

“wow so glad i found this place from ig! it is like a candy store for an adult with great taste! I didnt know portuguese food was so amazing until here, theyve got everything and i carried a bunch of stuff like egg tarts, olive oils and sardines with me. they even have frozen fresh sardines from portugal! you will be amazed!”

“Best chicken and best sauce!”

“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”

“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.”

“Cool mom and pop shop with only a few tables available for dine-in. Wait wasn’t too bad on a Sunday for lunch. Banh Khot was delicious and crispy, chicken wings were crispy with great flavor. Bot Chien was ok.”

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

“The only ice cream parlor, I know, that has jasmine flavored ice cream, which is my favorite.
If someone is at Aftres ice cream, undecided which flavor to get, I recommend give jasmine ice cream a try!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“The girl who helped us in the drive through was so nice! I was really nervous to ask a question about the rebel drink and to make it without energy and she was super sweet about it. I didn’t catch her name tho. Overall I really had α good experience here”

“I was in town for a tournament, we had dinner here both nights! Food is delicious and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

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

“Best chicken and best sauce!”

“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.”

“This is great location. Very friendly staff. I always stop here on my trips southbound on the 405. They have an energetic staff which is refreshing. A girl named Olivia who did our order was especially full of joy. We will be back !!”

“This place was amazing. Small menu so you know they make the items good. I tried the chicken fried steak and it was the best I've had. I will go back to try more and highly recommend!”

“This is one of the best crumbls I have been to! The store is clean and the cookies are fresh! The blonde asian girl helped me out last week and she was so friendly and had great service. Will be coming back!!💖❤”

“Dex coffee is such a cute coffee shop! I stopped in to try this place and the manager was so kind and helpful in explaining the menu items and the recommended drinks. I ordered the orange matcha einspanner and it was so good! I will definitely be back. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere, music, and aesthetic! Definitely give this place a try.”

“Matcha - need I say more? lol The matcha quality is great. Their drinks are not on the sweeter side so you really can taste the matcha. My sister got this matcha drink with water instead of (oat) milk, which I think is silly but hey, it worked lol The ambiance is a cute coffee shop vibe with limited seating and tables.”

“I got a few slices standard pep and cheese which was really good then I got a slice of a deep dish which was a Hawaiian style. Which is normally my fav, but it was just majorly of bread it needs more cheese and meat. I don’t think this was one of my fav places guess they try to be too fancy for me. Salad was good but this place is pricey.”

“Wife wanted a treat. We googled treats. This place came up and with a name like buttery, how could we say no?

We got in near close and the pastries were still FANTASTIC!”

“The place is located in a corner of a strip mall. There was only one table to sit and it was full. I think this is just order and go type of deal. The sticky rice was delicious and flavorful with the toppings. Mixture of sweet from sausage and savory. Lychee was a perfect combo to wash all of that down.”

“Stopped because the restaurant begins with a Q, on my abc photo hunt, me date! Best tacos I have had in a very long time. Will be back and recommend to all those in the area!”

“My friends and I tried this place for the first time and everything was SO delicious! We started with the cesar salad, and it was one of the best I've ever had.
We tried the branzino, and we loved the lemony sauce that complemented both the fish and side of brocolini!
The pork jowl dish was so tender and packed full of flavor, and it came with lettuce that made each bite refreshing.
We also got the miso carbonara which was creamy, perfectly seasoned yet not too heavy.
Service was very nice and fast, so overall we had an amazing dinner!”

“Peter is my favorite server, I’m sure he doesn’t remember me but I remember him every time I come to eat here. 10/10 He even went as far as too cook our ramen for us!”
