“Check In: Make sure you check in on Yelp for 1 free Herbal Iced Tea!Parking: Parking can be a bit difficult on the weekends. I visited on a Sunday and was not able to find any parking near the restaurant. But I was able to find a spot near the Old Spaghetti Factory. There’s a lot of restricted time zones, specific parking, and metered parking.Environment/Ambiance: It was very nostalgic for me when I walked in because the ambiance gave off Vietnamese vibes. The marble tables, wooden chairs, vases, utensils, and plates were imported from Vietnam. I recognized the vases bc my grandma had the same ones lol! They also have an open kitchen concept. I love their modern take on traditional Vietnamese dishes.Service: Everyone was amazing. Shout out to our server Ben! Constantly checked up on us and ensured we were enjoying our dinner. They even have robot service! The robot only brought us the sides that came with the pho we ordered.Food & drinks:1) Pho Tai Filet Mignon, carpaccio-style - This was my first time trying pho carpaccio-styled, and it was sooo delicious! Such a great concept. For those who don’t know what carpaccio style is - it is thinly sliced rare beef, drizzled with oil and lemon or lime. I was advised to squeeze the lime first and spray some 40° nuoc mam for extra flavor. Then take some meat and dip it into the pho broth. The meat wasn’t too chewy! I’m used to eating cooked meat with pho, but I absolutely looove this style better! 10/102) Pho Xe Lua - I was told this was one of their most popular pho bowls. They were very generous with the meats. I didn’t even need to add any sauces to the broth bc it tasted amazing the way it was. I could definitely tell their broth was brewed for at least 48 hours; it very smooth and no MSG. My favorite part was the short rib! It easily came off the bone and full of flavor. They offer unlimited noodles, so of course I took advantage! 10/103) Fish Sauce Fries - I started off with the Fish Sauce Fries as appetizers. It came with a “female” and “male” 40° nuoc mam perfume bottle. Such a fun idea! The fries were already tossed in fish sauce, but if you want more flavor, a couple spritz of the “perfume” will do. They also gave a generous amount of fries for an appetizer. 10/104) Herbal Iced Tea - So refreshing! After eating two steaming bowls of pho and nuoc mam fries, this drink really helped refresh everything. It came in a cute cup, topped with floral. 9/105) Vietnamese Coffee - I’m a crackhead for caffeine, so of course I had to try their Vietnamese coffee. This is the definition of Vietnamese coffee: extra ice, thick, concentrated, and not overwhelmingly sweet. It also came in a unique cup. 10/10Pricing: Prices are $$$. Not as surprised since prices have gone up literally everywhere. I’d say it’s worth it because they are very generous with their portions.Parking: Parking: Parking can be a bit difficult on the weekends. I visited on a Sunday and was not able to find any parking near the restaurant. But I was able to find a spot near the Old Spaghetti Factory. There’s a lot of restricted time zones, specific parking, and metered parking.“
“Love this roastery !!!Favorites: turkey avocado club sandwich and oat milk strawberry matcha latte!Also delicious: the blue lavender coffee latte and the black sesame coffee latte (new!)!One of my favorite spots in Fullerton to study, hang with friends, play games, or just have a sweet treat! Such a hidden gem, and such sweet people in the front! Will keep coming back :)“
“The vegan options aren't just plentiful but they also taste amazing. Blends of savory and sweet, crunchy and smooth. The service is also fantastic; they frequently bring out little extras to taste which is a lovely way to expand our palates. It is frequently very busy so show up early if you're not getting that out. Also, the kitchen extractor fans are insufficient; your clothes will smell like fried oil after dining in.Vegetarian options: The vegan Inferno Roll is my favorite but all of their vegan options are amazing. The vegan Hellfire ramen isn't really all that spicy if you have a high spice tolerance.“
“Single-handedly one of the best taco spots in all of Orange County. Not only is the food delicious but the service is top-notch. Whenever I go in there the lines are quick staff is friendly and there is always gentleman named Carlos running around greeting people making sure everyone is enjoying their food. I always look forward to coming here.“
“So glad we found this place during our trip to Cali! Cozy atmosphere, wonderful service, and delicious food! We had the kadai chicken, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. Generous portion sizes and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend, we would definitely go back!“
“Server: Madison - She's so amazing and lovely and attentive (but not overly)! Also, a winning personality and very hospitable. Food: 1) House Burger w/ Gluten Free Bun - So tasty! The chef(s) are absolute flavor artists. Love is in all their food creations. (Gluten free bun is NOT dull and dry, it's one of the good ones). 2) Crispy Rice/Spicy Albacore - Dude, what the heck!? We've had these apps at every restaurant that has them and for me this was the best creation/version. It was diced fish, not 'finely minced' like other places, with yummy sauce and red pepper flakes (nice touch!) on immaculately seared rice patties! Ambiance: Outdoor eating area has heaters for when it's chillier, and it's very floral and nature'y. Lovely! Prices:Reasonable for the level of effort put into the food! Love this place.“
“Really cool place to see and have a donut! Bring the kids or College kids and look out the window and watch traffic! A lot of artistic work on the donuts and atmosphere! Donuts are $2.50 to $4. They have vegan donuts and PBJ donuts. Jelly filled. The creeper was delicious! Cake donuts with no milk and eggs.“
“Literally the cutest little shop! If you are a big disney fan this is the place to be! It's like being in the disneyland bakeries. They really thought of everything! I was craving dole whip randomly and we went during the christmas season and the dole whip was themed like the Grinch! So cute!Kid-friendliness: Disney decorated all around! The cookies are gorgeous and mostly disney!“
“One of the best matcha lattes I’ve had. I got it unsweetened, hot, with oat milk. It was smooth and perfectly creamy and had a great balanced taste. The decor was bright and spacious with plenty of spots to sit inside and a few outside. The staff was super friendly. Loved it!“
“Out of all the coffee shops I've visited in the world, 525 is by far the best. Amazing service, amazing food, and amazing vibes. My barista's name was Chris and he was just so incredible. Come by if you want a ~vibey~ atmosphere with views of cars passing by as you sip on a delicious drink.“
“We liked their location in Little Tokyo, the concept, its cuteness and their custard. When we saw this shop while walking around downtown Fullerton, it was hard to resist a treat, and some of that nice custard. The store is big, airy, clean, it has nice customer service and barely a line comparing to the one in Little Tokyo, there were barely a couple of people ahead of us. So we got custard with strawberry and biscoff crumble for toppings. Great flavors as usual, fun, a nice treat while taking a break in action in pretty Villa del Sol plaza.“
“The tuna sandwich was well made and very generous. It could have been a little more flavorful however. The price (I think about $8) was very reasonable. The service was very friendly and excellent.Overall, a good deal and best place nearby to get sandwiches when visiting the hospital.“
“I drank, played pool, and played music. This establishment is very Veteran friendly. They treat Veterans VERY good and honored! I really enjoy hanging out with other Vets. Thank you, "Blue Door" and everyone! Signed: Lt. Robert Carr, Vietnam Veteran.Wheelchair accessibility: I sometimes have to use my walker (similar to a wheelchair) and this establishment has plenty of room to move around. Thank you.“
“This place is a gem! Outstanding Italian food and excellent service. The mussels with white sauce were incredibly flavorful and unique. I also had the Fettucini Florentine which was fresh, perfectly balanced and simply delicious. I want to try everything on the menu. Cocktails were also well-balanced and refreshing.“
“Tiny but mighty! This place is a gem with a rather large and diverse menu. I came here for the first time last Saturday (with a rather large group- thank you & sorry to the staff) after living here my entire life. The women running it were very friendly and the food was delicious and came out quick. Great place to grab a bite while waiting for a train or just in general. It was rainy that day but the patio would be great on a warm day to have a beer and some food. We tried the egg salad sandwich, fries, quesadilla and their version of animal fries. There were a few other tries too but I didn't taste them. All in all great place“
“Our favorite local spot for a great selection of beers on tap. Barrel & Stave has amazing variety of beers and Chris is a knowledgeable and friendly guy who is so fun to chat with. Love their new location at Jaxon's. Great vibe, family friendly and fun local spot to hang out. This is our weekly spot to bring the family for dinner and a beer!“
“Super cute and mini study cafe where you can charge your laptops and phones too. Allie (I hope I spelled her name right:,)) is super friendly and even helped explain what certain drinks were, like the marble series. Super close to downtown Fullerton if anyone is ever in the area and an overall great place to be for CSUF/FC students.“
“SO DELICIOUS AND FRESH! I can’t believe how good EVERYTHING was. So happy to have stumbled upon this place!We got the extra salmon crunch spicy burrito which was 100/10. The gyoza was hot, steamy, and fresh. The Tonkatsu Ramen had the most delicious pork I’ve ever tasted in Ramen. 10/10! Can’t wait to come back.“
“Overall, my experience at Sushi Fire was delightful. The food was delicious, earning a solid 4 out of 5 stars with its fresh ingredients and creative presentation. However, the service could use some improvement as it took a little longer than expected to receive our orders.“
“Went here on a Saturday night (4/06/24) with a friend and this is a cool, hip and happening place for all ages. LOVE the atmosphere, LOVE the pictures and LOVE the green ? lights. I ordered the Alfredo Pasta with Blackened Chicken PLUS 2 pieces of garlic cheese bread comes with it. O-M-G, soooo delish and a lot of food too. The service was great and the music ?? was very hip. I will be back!!!“
“Not sure what I expected. It's a divey sports bar with cute young servers that seem to genuinely enjoy their job and a kitchen with a bar food menu. If you turned the lights down and had girls dancing on the bar, it would easily pass as a strip club.The menu is beer and seltzers. The drinks are inexpensive and the servers are well practiced and wearing revealing bikinis. The servers are friendly and work the patrons with an ease that comes with practice. You are likely to recognize some of the staff from other local establishments that specialize in scantily clad service.The location is in the middle of an office and industrial park. Most of the parking spaces say they will tow if you park and go into Swig.Tip well. Be polite.“
“10/10 actually 20/10. This place is amazing. I literally don't have one complaint, If you're considering eating here just do it. You won't be disappointed! Pictured: tiramisu coffee Chicken & waffles Benedict Kimchi rice BLT Jam sandwich“
“On my way back from a doctor's appointment in the Fullerton area, I had a craving for a refreshing tea. To my delight, I stumbled upon a tea shop that offered a variety of loose herbal teas, including caffeine-free options. Parking was ample in the small lot shared by several businesses. The outdoor seating area provided a pleasant spot to enjoy the tea on a nice day. Inside, there were various seating choices, including bar stools overlooking the bustling and stylish brewing area. Peter, the friendly server, assisted me in selecting the Herbal Forest Berry tea, which he recommended iced, and it exceeded my expectations. Brewed with freshly loose leaves, it was served at the perfect temperature. The only thing that could have improved my experience would be gluten-free and/or vegan pastry options or snacks to accompany my drink. Peter mentioned they have two other locations in Norwalk and Buena Park, which I'm eager to explore in the future.“
“This place is AMAZING! I'm not a coffee expert but I'm almost SURE that they serve the most amazing coffee I ever had! I get the Banana Nut coffee HOT, and it is to DIE for! Aside from the coffee, the owner Joe, is SUCH a peach! I walked to his shop on my first day visiting town and it was SO good I went back the next day and ordered the same thing and I talked to Joe for a whole hour while he allowed me to charge my almost dead phone, lol. This place is just so friendly, welcoming, and kind. You cannot beat the vibez and then let's not forget the coffee can't be beat either ;-) Do yourself a flavor....and GO THERE!“
“The best Thai noddles I ever had! I believe this is the house special noddle soup. The waiter also severed me the sour chilis and chill pastes which I added to my soup . The wontons are filled with pork which is a surprise cuz normally Thai restaurants only put fried wonton wrappers. Definitely come back!“
“**This is for the catering service (me as a guest).Office building used them for their tenant Christmas luncheon. Food was good, service was excellent, atmosphere was work place patio so—ya know.Office offered both savory and sweet crapes but I only had banana/Nutella crapes. They offered lemonade, coffee, water for drink. It was free for us so I don’t know the price but I enjoyed it ✌️“
“Yummy cupcakes! I loved all of them except the banana one was a little disappointing. I like that they have a rotating menu while keeping the most popular ones around. We're a little pricey but I love buying myself a sweet treat :) The worker was very kind and offered us suggestions without being overly pushy. Small store with no seating, so just a grab and go situation. My sister loves this place and always loves to come back. Will be back soon!“
“sweetened matcha with pistachio cold foam!i must sat this place is a hit. was welcomed right away and our drinks came out pretty quick despite it being a bit busy. the music was too loud for my comfort, but i ain’t complaining because it could’ve been my playlist honestly.“
“Nice place for a healthy brekus burrito and all things Coffee.I had the Americano and wife had the Spanish Latte. She enjoyed it very much. The brekus burrito was hot and fresh and tasty. We will come back. Only one difficulty was that they don't take cash because they got robbed about 3 or 4ntimes in the last year. So I don't blame them for not taking cash. I could also see easy to rob and bad guys get away because it is easy access to the 91 freeway. Hopefully Anaheim PD would catch the guys that robbed them and put the bad guys in jail forever. But not in liberal California under the lenient justice system. Geezow!!!“
“I rated this based on typical bar food. It’s better than most. Nachos are really good, hamburger also good. Fish and chips too. It’s not usually crowded. They have a pool table and darts. Tons of TVs but a nice assortment of sports. Last time we were there they had basketball but also golf and figure skating. And best of all, it’s not expensive compared to most places in the area.Vegetarian options: Not a ton of options but there’s nachos, fish and chips (if you eat fish) and probably a few others.“
“I stopped by to a celebration of life for my friends sons passing. The staff were amazing and knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. The beer was good and the food was delicious. I highly recommend it to taste the beers from local microbreweries. In door and outdoor seating with several large TVs to watch your favorite teams play.“
“After visiting the wine bar, we ventured to this restaurant for the first time. Nestled in downtown Fullerton, it's just a short walk from Twisted Vine, where we initially gathered with old friends from Southern California. Eager to continue our conversation in a Korean-style setting, we opted for beer and Korean appetizers. A pitcher of Asahi beer accompanied by Salt & Pepper deep-fried pork (돼지 탕수육) and Wontons with Chili Sauce hit the spot, all recommended by our friendly waiter. Despite the slight chill on the outside patio, they promptly turned on the heater for us, ensuring our comfort as we savored the atmosphere, cuisine, and service during our 40 years of friendship celebration.“
“Really enjoyed my visit to Play Coffee! I ordered the maple matcha. You could tell the quality of the matcha, I just wish it was a bit sweeter. Next time I’ll ask for a sweeter drink. My wife loved her shaken espresso drink. The coffee shop is very unique, is well designed, and has a lot of seating throughout. Definitely a must try coffee shop in Fullerton!“
“This is a cafe in downtown fullerton that has a variety of different caffeine drinks as well as some teas and breakfast items. I tried their Banana Milk Latte and it was really good. The place is really nice and aesthetically pleasing. It offers a variety of options for lattes and they all seem really good. One suggestion I have for improvement is offering more breakfast items. They don't have a lot and the ones they do have aren't very good. The location is also quite hidden and so is the parking. Overall I think it is a nice cafe that has great lattes.“
“We've been a few times now, and each visit was awesome. Normally, we sit on the patio with the pups. They're very dog friendly and offer a water bowl. It was a long day and we needed to relax so we ordered mai tais to celebrate. The Ruben here is very good, so that was our pick. The meat was half corned beef, and half pastrami. Comes with a choice of sides, and unfortunately, they don't have French fries. So we got Cole slaw. The waitstaff is on point with good service and being attentive. Parking is on the street, and they're located in the SoCo district. Highly recommend Roscoes for a great sandwich, pizza, or drinks.“
“Expect to get "carded" - I was so caught off that I had to ask the bouncer 2x what he was asking me for (In my late 40s. LOL). The whiskey selection is very respectable - I have all over the world drinking whiskey - Tennessee, Ireland, Scotland, etc. Had a high end whiskey "neat" and an Old Fashioned (I think "well" is Old Forrester) - didn't come with the cherry, but they were more than happy to get one. Did not eat any food.“
“Do we visited the lounge side of this restaurant (chapter 4). I love the outdoor tables. I guess you can smoke your cigars and drink your well drinks to a quaint outdoor setting. I got the Latin Lover and my boyfriend got some whiskey drink. Noth were extremely strong so we nursed it the entire time. The Japanese snacks were free and yummy but we ordered the steak and fries...no Bueno! It was super duper dry and overcooked. Don't go here for food...just drinks and nice outdoor ambiance.“
“We Love this place as it’s reasonable prices and the salads are amazingly great. We love the red cabbage and cucumbers in yougart also best hummus. The Rice is amazingly delicious also. Wish I wasn’t diabetic I’d have eaten another pita hahaha we love the Lamb they give good size portion for two kebabs about 8 large pieces of lamb made medium well and very great falafelsParking: Big strip mall parking most people getting to go. We always have no problem parking the lot must have 40 spots and not busy strip mall this Resturant is the main place for the whole strip mallKid-friendliness: We didn’t see children but sure they love the place“
“Honestly the name says it all, this place is definitely a great joy to have a bite at. Cozy and at the same time cute and warm.I think this is a must visit when coming to down town Fullerton.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetation and vegan selectionParking: Free street parking if 15 min or 2 hours and parking lot a little far from the place but decent distance.“
“I went to the Source for an acai bowl only to find the place closes early so came down the street to this one. It's a small place in a little strip mall with a Subway. Service was fine the guy was nice enough. I had the regular acai bowl but will go back to try the mango version. The price was less than I'm used to paying at more trendy places.“
“Awesome spot with a great family run business model. The food is amazing and the coffee is well made also. Nice 80’s classics overhead. Very relaxing, comfortable environment. Would definitely recommend the Fraise Classic and B.E.S.T. crepes! The Norwegian is also great option for Lox lovers. Can’t say enough how friendly and warm the family is and how delicious the food is.“
