Comfort Food Restaurants near Fullerton, CA

“You truly can't get any better Hawaiian food in California. Yes it's slightly more expensive than others, but it's totally worth it.If you're coming with 2 or 3 people, grab their 35$ big kahuna plate, it'll more than cover everyone.“

“From the start Cailyn was super helpful, incredible customer service. As a family that smokes at home we had high expectations to which they did not disappoint!Dino rib, brisket and Mac n Cheese were exceptional!The atmosphere was great, the restaurant was clean, although they didn't have waiters, the staff was helpful.Thank you Cailyn and the awesome guy with the cute hat for all your help! :)Definitely we're returning!“

“Food: Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken had the right balance between spice, butter, moist breaded chicken; Kimchi Butter Shrimp was also excellent; Spam Brulee was a great new take on the typical Spam Musubi with their mayo-based sauce on top Service: made-to-order service Design: interiors had the touch of island vibes with the rope lashing & surfboard sign, but is part of the larger Rodeo 39 Public Market Overall: if you want great Hawaiian inspired grindz with a little extra kick, then check out this spot and get ready to roll your eyes back with satisfaction!!!“

“Great choices of food. Can take your dog and eat outside they even have a dog menu. Must keep dogs on leash. Fast friendly service. They have something for everyone so easy to take picky eaters with you.They have a full bar and their own beers to purchase. Love the candied bacon appetizer. All the food is delicious and they have meals frozen you can buy to take home and heat for another day.Vegetarian options: They have salads and vegetarian meals plus a cauliflower appetizer done like hot wings with Frank's hot sauce and blue cheese. It is one of my favorites.Parking: Handicap parking in front wheelchair access inside. Can get a wheelchair or walker inside.Wheelchair accessibility: Front row parking and a wheelchair ramp to entrance. Can get a wheelchair at the table.“

“It was an amazing experience with Charisse as our server! She made us feel like family's.... Her recommendations and attention to detail were second to none! I highly recommend her for supervisor duties.... Her knowledge and understanding of the menu were excellent. Thank you Charisse!“

“Meh. General Manager is Persian and we were wondering if he is related to the famous singer & violinist, Bijan Mortezavi. This particular location was pretty busy. Some of the dishes we ordered were the brussel sprouts, bacon candy, edamame, buffalo wings, buffalo cauliflower, cajun fries and ahi tuna crispy rice.“

“Okay so we have been coming here for so many years I can't remember! When the new owners came in last year things changed... not for the good we tried about 3 times to give them a chance but the food was not the same.... we recently saw a new post from them and the pictures looked good so we gave them another chance today! Of course there are some changes in some of the food, but I will say they have Won us back! We have missed them, thanks for fixing what was wrong! For those that used to be regulars, give them another chance! Thank you and We Will See you Soon!“

“Very much a bustling, neighborhood eatery. The chicken is unique in that it is has more of a crust & the flavor has a slight kick. Very tasty! I got a couple pieces that were charred, which I enjoyed but I realize is not for everyone. The chicken was still juicy on the inside. Potato salad & beans were also good. The greens, however, were very bland which could be doctored up at home.My only complaint was how soggy the chicken got the next day. I’m not sure if it was just the batch I had but I was very disappointed with the experience the following day. So I recommend eating it fresh & they are sure to serve it piping hot!Oh, the pecan pie was delicious too!PS. It is quite expensive but if you’re in the mood for good chicken it is worth the splurge.“

“Love the atmosphere here. The waiters are very efficient and good at customer service. We really enjoy the bánh đa as the broth is very fresh. The miến trộn khô has just enough sauce to make the food delicious and not overly salty. Overall, we’re really satisfied with the food and drinks. We’ll definitely come back!“

“Parking: Very easy even on a Saturday/ Sunday brunch day. I would say to come early to check in on their Yelp waitlist in case their place get's especially busy. If you order all these dishes with a group of 4 people, this will fill you up. Banana Latte: Tasted more of the latte than the banana. Gamberry Rose Pasta: Don't play with the spicy level. It's not death spicy but it's a bit like Shin Ramen spicy. Would not recommend this dish for my non tolerant spicy people. Pasta is wonderful though, sauce was like uni cream, there were bits of masago (tiny fish eggs) to add a nice texture, 2-3 regular shrimp and a jumbo shrimp in the dish. Beet Tataki Salad: Would highly recommend for anyone! The beef was cooked so well, medium rare on the inside and the outside sliced edges were really crispy! Salad was refreshingly and dressed well with their vinaigrette, tomato, and shredded cheese. Gambas: Not my favorite dish. The sliced bread was presented in the skillet so bottom portion of the bread was overly greasy. There was too much olive oil at the bottom of the pan than necessary. Toasted whole garlic and olives, I think the only redeemable feature of the dish would be the shrimp.“

“Awesome service, the drinks are really good & so is the food! It’s really fun with the games & Shawn made our night special! We’ll def be back for another date night ! Thank you for maintaining such an awesome atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Lots of options are gluten free & vegan/vegetarian!“

“If I could give 10 stars on everything I would! The food was the best I have ever had! Huge portions, delicious chips and salsa, and they were absolutely charming. So kind. I will be coming back here every time we come back down to California!“

“Love the out door patio and our server was very good. Enjoyed the happy hour pomegranate IPA. Plus their happy hour food is great. I recommend the fried deviled eggs, the loaded hush puppies and of course some traditional buffalo wings. Enjoy!“

“You will never know it's Vegan.. the taste is exceptional!I ordered the burger with Gouda, and a side salad..I'm no longer able to eat red meat for health reasons, but I was craving a juicy, meaty burger. Let me tell you, this hit the spot!!The "meat" was cooked perfectly, and all the fixings were on point.I also ordered a side of onion rings. The burger was definitely the star of the show.Thank you Modern Shaman.Parking: Free garage parking right around the corner, and 2 hour street parking during the day. Free after 6pm.“

“Love this place. If you want to get the Boba bear combo special, you have to eat inside so get there right when they open. All the food is delicious. Everything is beautifully served. Service is friendly. Best recommendation is to get there right when they open. Beary good spot!“

“Great family-run shop filled with traditional bento. By this time, we've tried at least half of the menu and everything is great.Egg salad or katsu sandos are great if you want something simple.But sets of roast beef bowls or chicken nanban are also great. Gyudon or sets with multiple courses if you were really hungry.There's also tempura and takoyaki. So many different options.Call ahead and order if you are short on time. Parking in the lot is fairly easy. Service is great.“

“Wow, Bonjuk and Bibimbap is awesome! My only regret is not knowing about this place sooner. I can see why it’s one of the most popular chains from Korea. The restaurant was clean and modern looking inside, and the food was phenomenal. It was a healthy, lighter option compared to some other spots in the area. Our server was also super nice.We ordered the mushroom + bulgogi bibimbap and seafood pancake. Both were absolutely delicious, and I look forward to coming back again soon.The chicken ginseng soup was also very healing and tasty! There was some dates, rice and green beans in it which was a nice touch.“

“First time there 2/8/24, a little wait but worth it. Food came out within minutes, I like the idea of pictures of food menu items. Just tell them your preferences and food will be out less than 10 mins. Korean restaurants always have sides side that are refillable. Great flavor and so delicious.“

“First time here and just loved the place. It is a big place, but we were surprised at how quick we were served, how attentive the server was and the pace of service. The food was great. They have a huge selection of different food and a great selection of beer on Tap. I cant even begin to make recommendations, but everything we had was great.“

“The food was enjoyable. The service was a bit lacking during 6pm service due to only 3 servers. The restaurant is decorated very nice and clean and modern for small restaurant. It needs more customers but competition in the area is high. I hope the business does well.“

“I like the big portion of this restaurant. I went 2 people so we ordered 2 dishes. We tried: 1. Pork Back Bone Stew: very huge portion. The meat is soft and you can feel the broth has been well cooked that gives you the sweet and rich taste. 2. Stir Fried Squid (because I love squid!): very good. This dish can be eaten with rice (if you want to be full) or will paired good with a taste of Soju. The portions are big so don't over ordering or you will have some food to go. The food is a little plaint and there's salt to add (if you are a salty food fan) to assure you don't leave the broth behind. You will feel healthy as you leave the place. Will be great to have for hangover or when you are sick. I went on a weekend night for dinner and the restaurant was a little quiet. I think this place is most suitable for lunch. I would definitely come back to try their other stews and pork belly!“

“Newly opened in Rowland Heights for Dumplings and Shao long Bao. The menu is limited for pan fried dumplings and Shss as o long Zbso but it was tasty. The dipping sauce station was cool. Ready made sauce and you can mix your own concoctions. Clean and spacious and the staff is very nice and accommodating. Will come back and try other dishes.“

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

“I never thought that I could find the real authentic Korean food like this I’ve been looking for the raw marinated crab for my whole life and then here it is!! The food were 10/10 ! I would highly recommend the galbitang soup beside the crab “

“Stephanie (long Beach CA) went above and beyond for us. This is our first time being at disneyland and she recommended me a sweet coffee drink and it was soooo delicious ? plus she gave us first visit buttons with our names on it!Thank you Stephanie for making our day at disneyland wonderful! I hope to see her when I come back“

“Food: 4* Service: 5* Ambience: 4* Located in a strip mall, right next to a bar. The place appeared to be family owned. Service was great, helpful and friendly. The menu was a melange. A mix of Mexican, and Asian, and a little unfocused. I had the Aguachile de Camaron (Shrinp in spicy green sauce, raw). It was really good, spicy and ample. I would return.“

“If you love Nep, you MUSTTT try this place!! Lowkey thinks it's way better and more flavorful, and also the portion is just huge and perfect for sharing!! I don't often come back to re-try restaurants but this is one I will become a regular at. Highly recommend the pork meatball banh mi Chao and filet mignon rice. No line at all so take the advantage of trying this place before it gets more poppin. They also have a seafood place that is "kickin crab" style, which I will have to come back for. I will say they are a bit short staffed but they're very nice!! Pls be patient with the service and the food will be so worth your time and money.“

“It was 11:30 am on a Saturday morning. It was very crowded upon arrival but waited 40 minutes for a table. We ordered our food and it took 20-25 minutes to get our waters. Kind of annoyed, as it was hot outside, on the patio. The long wait was probably my only complaint. I ordered the classic pancakes with scrambled eggs with a potato side. My friend ordered a skillet dish. The food came out on bright blue plates and the pancakes were so fresh. I'm literally obsessed!! Hehe. The eggs were cooked well and everything was delicious. We met "Auntie" as she came to our table and said some really kind words. I asked if she was the manager and she corrected me and said, the owner. I'm Auntie! That's sooooo cool! My friend and I will definitely return when we visit Whittier again!!!“

“Leo and his crew did a phenomenal job catering a dinner for our son's college lacrosse team held at Chapman University. The food looked absolutely delicious and made a 5 out of 5 impression on me. We appreciate you working within the teams budget and help packaging up the leftovers.“

“I ordered the com tam bi thit nuong dhky. The bi is more fragrant. The dau hu ky here is the best I've had. Liked that the soup comes out hot and not overly msg. Only thing is the pickled cabbage wasn't pickled enough for me. But my mom ate all the pickles, a first for her. She said she liked the bitter crunchiness. Overall, really enjoyed our first visit. Definitely will be back.“

“This neighborhood bar has a fantastic corner location. There are pool tables here, and a full bar. Clean decor and great bartenders here. The food menu is somewhat limited (they had a salad on the menu that they said they actually won't start serving until next month), but everyone seemed to be ordering the wings. I had the burger, and it was fantastic. The drinks were even better. This is a place to explore with the bartender - they have very fresh fruits, and herbs, and bitters, and try to make a new cocktail that appeals to your tastes.“

“Food was great, service was immediate and top notch. Food came out quick. Went outside to have some coffee and water afterwards and enjoy the sun and felt very comfortable despite the speeding cars and traffic zooming by. Great patio space. Recommend for lunchtime with co workers and friends when rushed.“

“I recently visited Boiling Point and was pleasantly surprised by my experience. Unlike other similar establishments, this Boiling Point location stood out to me in several ways. Firstly, I found the taste of the food to be superior, which made my dining experience even more enjoyable.Additionally, I appreciated that the waiting time was relatively short compared to what I've experienced at other places. This made the entire dining process more convenient and efficient.Most notably, I was satisfied to discover that I could order unlimited rice and receive double the amount of meat. This added value to my meal and left me feeling very satisfied with my dining experience.Overall, I highly recommend Boiling Point for its delicious food, short waiting times, and generous serving options. I will definitely be returning for more!“
