“This was my first time dining in after getting takeout a number of times.The spring rolls are definitely the stars here and are always fantastic! It's nice to order a few and share at the table. The shrimp and eggplant are my favorites.The main dishes are good as well and on par with some of my favorite Vietnamese places in the area.The deserts/pastries are a bit of a let down and I would save desert for another place. The macaroons were on the dry side and the macarons were too sweet for me.Service was friendly and informative.“
“I am sensitive to gluten, dairy, eggs and try to stay away from soy. When I saw this place I couldn't believe my eyes. When I ate their sweets I couldn't believe my taste buds. Omg! Sooo good! That said, it's hit or miss depending on what you buy. The raspberry & chocolate roll cake was fantastic. Loved the cookie with sprinkles too. The brownie with cookie dough was not my favorite. Once you find your favorites I'm sure you'll be a forever devoted customer. Enjoy your sensitive sweets!“
“9.0/10 I. love. Ike's Love & Sandwiches!! From my very first bite almost a decade ago in San Francisco to witnessing their expansion over the years, Ike's has consistently delivered on flavor and quality. Even my discerning mom, who has quite the palate, is a fan! To this day Ike's remains to be one of my favorite sandwich shops. I've had: 111. Menage A Trois $14.50 | 957. The Damon Bruce $16.95 | 143. I'll Be Your Valentine $14.14 and 243. I Choo Choo Choose You $14.14 (limited-time February specials) | THC (April Weedmaps 420 Special) $14.20 | 7777. Patrick $15.51 (Spring Special) | Zapp's New Orleans Kettle Style Potato Chips Hotter 'n Hot Jalapeno, Mesquite Bar-B-Que, VooDoo Heat $2.75 each | Complimentary Tootsie Caramel Apple Pop. I can't pick a favorite sandwich although I've gravitated towards Menage A Trois a lot in the past. Zapp's Chips Hotter 'n Hot Jalapeno flavor is my favorite. Let's talk about that Dutch Crunch bread and Dirty Sauce - absolute game-changers! The bread strikes the perfect balance of crispy exterior and soft interior, while the garlic aioli adds a nice kick. Whether it's their thinly sliced chicken, flavorful steak, or juicy turkey, Ike's never disappoints in the meat department. The corned beef was perfectly seasoned and I loved how thinly sliced it was. Even their vegan chicken option is surprisingly delicious, catering to all dietary preferences. The limited-time sandwiches were a flavor explosion! The Jamaican jerk sauce had just the right amount of spice, leaving me craving more. The THC has a good blend of ingredients down to the crunch of the hot cheetos. The Patrick was a standout, my first time having a corned beef sandwich. I'm glad I got the Emerald sauce on the side though because I think it's horseradish which I'm not much of a fan of. You really can't go wrong with any order. Portion sizes are generous - I can barely finish half a sandwich in one sitting, but the leftovers taste just as good days later. My boyfriend, on the other hand, seems to have no trouble devouring his entire meal. Zapp's Chips are amazing, you can't go wrong with Mesquite Bar-B-Que, but the Hotter 'n Hot Jalapeno flavor is still my favorite. They have a nice crunch and give a nice kick, a unique flavor I haven't found in other Jalapeno flavored chips. I just tried Voodoo Heat and it's tasty, it tastes like a mix of vinegar, sweet barbecue and jalapeno. I didn't see anything on the website regarding eco-packaging or sustainability efforts, bummer. Located in a shopping plaza, you'll have no issues finding free parking in the lot. The ambiance is casual. There are a few tables for inside seating but no outside seating. Price has definitely gone up but so has everything in the world. I think for the amount of food you are getting and the quality, the price is right. I had a mixed experience on my recent visit regarding service. I ordered through the mobile app on a Friday around 4 PM. The estimated pick-up time was 20 minutes. I got there 15 minutes after ordering and my order for three sandwiches was ready, no wait! However, I felt the staff could have been more attentive and friendly. As I was walking in, I saw an employee at the front counter, however, they walked to the back of the store although I'm quite sure they saw me. So now I was just standing there with no one helping me for a good minute or two before another employee from the back saw and helped me. They knew right away which one my order was and handed it over. I said thank you and that was it and they walked away. Maybe, it was a one-off. A little more acknowledgment and engagement with customers would go a long way in enhancing the overall experience.“
“Staffs so kind and always be there when i need.nem nuong was perfect. However,My quang' broth not flavorful and the fish sauce of com tam so sweet. Coconut Coffee and seasalt coffee are good. This place for hang out with friends or family.“
“OG, Japanese salt butter roll!Everything is constantly baked throughout the day. If you happen to visit at a time when it wasn't right out of the oven, they will heat it for you. They also have various gourmet drinks, including coffee and Macha based. Lots of attention to detail on everything they make.One downside is that parking can be a bit of an adventure, and there is usually a line to order. Line, however, moves quickly.I would highly recommend this bakery!Parking: Street parking can be difficult to find. They also have a parking garage with a 2 hour validation from the bakery“
“We had a great evening dining at our local Urban Plates tonight! Everything was above and beyond, excellent, starting with the cashier’s joyful attitude to the attentive servers, Ruth and Javier specifically. Thank you to them, along with the great chefs and management! We look forward to being back and highly recommending it to others.“
“was looking for a dessert place in OC and lo and behold, a italian ice and custard place! my friend and i came around night time and it was fairly busy. there was one man serving and cashiering so understandably there was a small wait. he was so kind and i can tell with every order he was being purposeful with the way he put it together. i ordered the strawberry milkshake and it was sweetness overload in all the right ways. i will say the italian ice itself is not too strong in flavor so i tried to make sure every bite had some custard with it. the place is bright and they have lots of variety of flavors so come and try it out!“
“My parents have visited in the past and told me that whenever I’m in L.A. to check out Porto’s. Well, I came down from Vegas for the day and as I was getting ready to head back I made sure to stop by the store in Buena Park to pick up some goodies as I was coming from Huntington Beach.I picked up a selection of savory and sweet items to try out. As I am half Cuban I remember eating the same items as my grandmother made and sure enough the items I picked out had spot on flavor. Next time I’m back in Southern California I am going to purchase even more to bring back. The price per item is really inexpensive as well.The bakery inside is large with plenty of seating. They have 2 counters to order from as well as a side cafe.“
“This place is awesome. Last night was my second time going there. My friend recommended this place to me, because she lives in the area. And every time she recommend something to me or takes me somewhere to eat, it's awesome. The food is unbelievable. The service is friendly and top bar. The drinks are the bomb. The atmosphere is great. I was very happy both times. I would go back again in a minute! And definitely ask James to be your server. He was the best server ever last night. I think I might have had the best filet mignon of my life at this place last night. The grilled lobster is great. The seared scallops are the bomb. I highly recommend it.“
“03.23.24 this is a gem of a restaurant. Great place to bring guests and family. Great food! Delicious food! Great customer service. I work in Human Resources so customer service is one I typically have to observe. All servers appear to have good command of service to customers - they're smiling and attentive to everything. They all seem to share their loads and helping each other (like filling coffee). I hope the manager/owner pays them well and provides good benefits for retention purposes.I had crepes with strawberries and bananas and side of eggs and sausage. This was only my second visit as it's a bit far from my hometown but the second visit is just as incredibly wonderful as the first one two or three years ago.I highly recommend this restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly for sure“
“I so love and appreciate Dan for all the care, heart and soul they put into creating this nurturing restaurant, and adding such goodness to the world.I’ve been coming here for years. Each time I’m greeted with the most sincere smiles and warmth.The food is fresh, delicious and oh so satisfying.One time years ago I got food poisoning. I can’t remember how it came to be that Dan and Si, his brother, learned of this, but they literally made me food to eat for each stage of my healing. Broth, a mash, and other foods, all made to nurture me back to health.I’ll never forget this kindness or the example of his commitment to always providing excellent service and the most wonderful food.I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and wish for it to have great success and longevity!“
“Title: A Sweet Escape in the Heart of Orange CircleSweet Art Cafe, nestled within Orange Circle, offers a delightful escape for pastry aficionados and coffee connoisseurs alike. Their almond croissants and in-house made pastries are divine, paired perfectly with specialty lattes and cappuccinos. The cozy ambiance and warm service make it a gem worth discovering.“
“The donuts here are truly delightful--fresh and delicious. Specifically, the huckleberry donut is exceptional--perfectly fresh and bursting with flavor. Additionally, the basil eggs Benedict is simply outstanding. Both are highlights of the menu here.“
“This place is really great. Affordable and adorable. Reminds you of mama's kitchen. The pastries are truly keto friendly but also great for those who don't like their pastries overly sweet. As a person who is diabetic I highly enjoyed it. The muffin top, tres leches, and the pecan Sandie is delicious. The staff is amazing their amazing. I would highly recommend you if your reading this to go show your support and give them a try.“
“We hired Taylor Made Cuisine to cater our Board Meeting and they did an amazing job! They got back to me very quickly with a quote and provided an abundance of options to choose from. They communicated with me very quickly and they were super friendly! They were very flexible in making changes to the quote, before the deadline. On the day of the event, they were here very early to ensure they set up before the time of event. The set up was beautiful and we received tons of positive feedback from our Board members! Will definitely reach out to Taylor Made Cuisine for future events!Thank you for everything Carol! You were wonderful.“
“I love the vegan options available here! The apple fritter and blueberry cake donuts are my favorites. The apple fritters are always fresh and you taste the apples in every bite! The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's just a good thing that I don't have a Donuttery near me or I'd have some extra pounds on me.“
“Stopped by the first night of our visit to Disneyland last year and the margherita pizza was so good I ended up getting it every single day of the trip. Undoubtedly my favorite pizza place I've ever tried and the staff were very kind as well. Can't wait to come back.“
“Incredible food! The sitting area outside seems so relaxing with 2 fountains, chairs & umbrellas. Your greeted with the Welcoming French language from the servers & the wait time was minimal. It was our first time & we will Definitely be back!“
“I could have cried tears of joy. It is nearly impossible to eat dessert with my family being that I am gluten free and dairy free and they are not. Enter Milk & Cookies!! I did an actual happy dance. The dairy free vanilla ice cream with the gluten free chocolate chip cookie was outstanding. I understand the rave reviews and my only complaint is that there isn't one right by my house! lol“
“Best Ethiopian Restaurant in Orange County with great food, impressive customer service and plenty of parking spaces.Vegetarian options: Tsom Beyaynetu (Veggie Combo), Shiro wot, Miser (lentils) wot .. all served with injera.Parking: Plenty Free ParkingKid-friendliness: Yes 100%Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Great place. Awesome for gluten free.The Tea Leaf Salad is a MUST and the take-home kit to make later is just as amazing. The staff here is so kind and the atmosphere is truly family-style friendly. Another favorite is the pork/pumpkin stew…good anytime of year.“
“Healthy protein spot is the best. Never dissapointed when going for my protein fix! Management & employees are beyond great! Customer service is on point. The vibes inside the space are great. Very attracting and welcoming. They are awesome. I highly recommend to stop by for a refreshing shake or drink. They also provide protein snack options. They are the best. Get your health on track with healthy protein spot! Wont be dissappointed!“
“The food here is always amazing! Best Napolitano style pizza we've found outside of Napoli! The pastas and the gnocchi are amazing too. Wow! We crave it once a month minimum. The staff are so sweet and welcoming and always make us feel so welcome too!“
“This place has amazing vegan food!! My girlfriend and I always stop by whenever we are in the area. The nachos and tacos are our personal favorites! The location is also perfect because right after you finish eating you can explore the little shops around and digest a bit. The staff is also very nice and who doesn’t love that? Highly recommend!“
“The food and service are great! I love their house salad with pickled vegetables. The pasta is excellent and the Italian sausage is a little spicy and yummy. My boyfriend ordered the veil and enjoyed it (I wouldn't try it). The bread is amazing!! They get the bread from a local sandwich shop that is famous for their bread! Highly recommend.“

“New favorite coffee spot!The owner Shirley used to only sell cakes and desserts but they more recently converted to a cafe with delicious coffee, pastries and breakfast sandwiches.The potpie biscuits, breakfast sandwiches and cookies are so good!Will be a regular here.“
“I'm absolutely in love with this place! The layout is so unique - when you walk through the "front door," you're still outside; stairs take you down to an outdoor patio with a beautiful large tree in the center. There is a bar out there, though it's been closed whenever I've been, probably because I've never gone during the summer. Once you've reached the patio, to the right is the real front door Lol. Step inside & you'll see a casual typical pub to the right, down a couple more stairs, windows will be open to the patio with favorable weather. To the left of the main entrance is a cozy, mahogany, more formal dining area complete with a fireplace. This layout alone is enough to enjoy a drink or dessert, but the food I've had was delicious, too. I love the "Black Bush Stew," which is a delicious beef stew (generous chuncks) with a dollop of mashed potatoes, 2 lamb chops & a shot of Black Bush whiskey! It's no longer on the menu, but I last went in February & our server was amazing - friendly, funny, & accommodating - & had it made for me anyway! I haven't been on a night with live music, but that would be icing on the cake. Love this place!“
“I've only had the snickerdoodle cookies so far, and they are absolutely delicious. They tasted like your grandma's homemade cookies, but you can get as many as you want because your mom isn't there to stop you.10/10 would recommend, and will be going back soon. The owner is great, she's super nice and loves what she does! What more can you ask for?“
“Vegetarian options: Nearly all menu options can be vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: If you are in a group that wants different things like chow mein, ramen, pho, fried rice, or curry then you're good coming here. All noodle bowls are delivered with the water sperate so if someone is late, that is fine. Highly recommend!“
“It's been a few years since we'd been here...why??!!! It was so great. Both the panang curry and yellow chicken curry are so flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Beautiful presentation as well! Kind customer service. Will be back soon!“

“I recently had a caterer cancel on me at the last minute. SOHO Taco was willing to jump in and save the day on one of the businesses weeks of the year. I love their food so much and there food was the perfect fit for what this client wanted. I will be forever grateful for them being so responsive and willing to save the day!“
“Every trip to Tommy Bahama in Newport Beach is a win. They've got this chill vibe that makes you feel welcome right away. What really got me last time was when I was feeling off, ordered soup, and they tossed in some bread and a note that hit the spot. It’s those small things that show they’re actually paying attention.The food's always good, straightforward without trying too hard. But it’s the little extras and the vibe that keep me coming back. If you're in Newport Beach, it's worth stopping by. They manage to make each visit feel like they're glad to see you, which is pretty rare.“
“My daughter went to SIX bakeries across Southern California for cake tastings. Six. Not kidding. She was very excited about Sweet Taders and thought she finally found the cake she wanted. I was nervous because even though the cake at the tasting g was good, replicating it for a 4-tier cake is very different than serving a smaller slice at a tasting. Holy cow! Not only was the cake itself absolutely gorgeous, the taste was out-of-this world. The cake was moist and light. The filling was creamy and the buttercream frosting was amazing. The overall flavor was light, not too sweet and FRESH! I have never had such an amazing wedding cake ever!! I can't recommend this amazing company enough. From the tasting, through the design process, to the final product - Samantha and her team at Sweet Traders did an amazing, incredible job.“
“The strawberry croissant is delicious and well balanced and the blueberry custard is good. There are many pastries and a variety of delicious treats. The Boston donut is good but there isn't that much chocolate in my opinion. The staff is very friendly and they are helpful. The vibe is a cafe with pastries on a different side of the room. I would definitely recommend coming here.“
“Amazing service and great food at such an good price. They offered us samples of their dishes and offered to alter spice levels for the Al LA carte items. They also filled the containers to the brim and were friendly and kind the whole time. Will definitely come back for the best Indian food nearby!“

“Love this place as a great treat to take my grandkids : ))Delicious flavors to choose from and a very nice buffet selection of toppings. Always clean and well stocked. The owner is very nice and personable. Thank you for providing such a great mainstay for our community!“
“It's In-N-Out. That's all that needs to be said for most people, but for everyone else it's good classic burgers and amazing fries. This location was good at keeping their drive thru line moving, so not a terrible wait for fresh food.“
“It was my first time ordering baked goods from Brianna and I made the right choice! The sugar cookies were tasty and it wasn't too sweet. I ordered a two cakes too and she did a good job on the designs! They tasted good too that even one of my cousins took her business card. Also, she was very professional and answered all my questions thru email or text. I would definitely order again from Brianna!“
“Quality ingredients. Brilliant recipe. Small local business. Incredible! You MUST give them a try - you won't be disappointed!Still finding myself amazed at how much I love these little delectable cookies! I have been a repeat customer ever since I stumbled upon these unassuming little cookie bites!I was casually offered a cookie with a quiet mention that they were vegan, and thinking the worst of it, was actually MIND BLOWN! Mind you that these cookies have a different texture/crumb than your traditional cookie (these are not crispy/dry crumb cookies - they're closer to the texture of a brownie maybe?) , but the flavor and chew and proportion of each cookie really packs a satisfying bite of delicious-full-YUM!I've enjoyed all the different flavors and they are perfectly sweet and balanced. I especially love that there's variety of flavor with chocolate chips/candies to add texture/crunch. I LOVE these cookies and often gift them and bring them to office gatherings which turn out to be pretty popular!Nevermind that they're vegan or gluten free! No one in my house is vegan or vegetarian or gluten free and we thoroughly enjoy them as a treat. (They also have more protein than a regular cookie thanks to the nut-based ingredients so I don't feel guilty AT ALL! )My favorites:Cardamom Cashew (reminds me of my favorite Indian dessert, these are often the softer cookies of the bunch))Dark Chocolate Crispy Gems (like chocolate chips but with dark chocolate m&m type candies)Chocolate ChipFun to mix your bites and make a cookie PBJ!Peanut Butter Choco Chip & Strawberry Preserves - and make it darker with a bite of the Chocolate Chocolate chip!DELIVERY & PICK UP:Delivery came in what I think was 1 day.Curbside pick up was easy and quick!Communication was prompt and friendly!“
“OK I hate to share this with everyone because I love how low-key the spot is. Best sushi in Newport Beach tucked away in a quiet little courtyard with great ambience on the patio. The service is always excellent. My husband who is not a sushi lover is happy to have dinner here, big fan of the Sakana roll, the Olivia roll, and the J roll“
“Found this hidden gem last year! I can't even list everything they have just go! You will not be disappointed. Gluten free corn free dairy free etc. I don't know how she does it but it's all delicious! They will even put your name on a list and call you when they're making special things. Just go!“
“Was looking for an exceptional butter cream cake for my wife's birthday. Started searching on Google for bakeries and Penelope's caught my eye. I stopped by the shop to get a sense of what they were about and spoke with Penelope's husband who was so passionate about his wife's cakes, I ended up ordering an 8' vanilla butter cream cake. Per their instructions I let the cake sit out for what turned out to be a little over 5 hours before serving and I have to say, this is, without a doubt, the best cake I've ever had and it's not even close. There is really nothing that you can't love about this place.“
“Amazing. Ordered the Shrimp for the protein. Side of roasted Broccoli with seasoned bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. The very fresh fruit bowl consisting of grapes ( sliced in half) a few segments of very sweet tangerine and pineapple as a delightful finish.Oh yes; and the encore... The cookie and lemon cake..My wife and I will be back.“
“I had the pleasure to try Heather's incredible menu at an event we had asked her to cater for. She and her team (shout out to Rick!) are very creative in putting it all together and developing new flavors (check out the salad dressings!). Highly professional, friendly and welcoming folks and definitely recommend!“
“Love this BBQ place!!! The smell as I walked in brought back great memories of having a backyard bbq. The staff was great was greeted and helped out by Manda and the owner. Awesome hospitality from both of them. Very attentive to my needs. I had the brisket and a side of coleslaw, by far the best brisket I’ve had as most tends to be dry and tough. Santa Maria bbq is spot on cant wait to be back to try some of there other menu items as they all look good. Great sauces as well i had the mango habanero and some sweet brown sugar sauce. If your craving bbq you have to come check this place out.“
“Great Pizza, great location if you don’t mind eating outside this place with your friend or taking it to go after a night out on the beach or bar hopping!!Price is alright , but what I do like about this place is the consistency, been coming here for about 5 years now and I always get what I expect! Nothing more, nothing less.“
“Only had drinks there. They had all the different types of bourbons. I tried the old pepper which is very good if you like. Rye. Mostly bar food that was on the menu. I did not try anything. Would go back and try the bar food. They had a bartender in training but she did very well. Good place to just hang out.“
“The Most Awesome Mexican family restaurant in the city of Orange Hands Down. Went there for my Birthday ? Dinner. Was an Excellent experience with Alex the manager making everything Great!! The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Will help you out in any way possible. Best Mexican Restaurant in the city of Orange. Hands down. ?“
“This humble takeout eatery serves more authentic Turkish coffee than any Mediterranean restaurants I've found in SoCal. The coffee so thick it looks like mud at the bottom of your cup---PERFECTIONThe establishment has a talent for making bread. The crust of our pizza was soft and chewy on the inside while light and crispy on the outside. That said, the Hawaiian pizza was topped with canned pineapple (making it overly sweet) while the accompanied ham seemed to have been packaged meat and, therefore, a bit underwhelming in taste. Even so, the crust was sovery good that I'm willing to come back to try other pizzas on the menu“
