“This place is always packed line wrapped around the corner everytime i drove by, but lucky i went at 6pm on a weekday so its more chill no line at all. For a first timer, I can see why it’s packed now lol.
I ordered 2 matcha einspanners and it was superrr delicious, not too sweet and the matcha tasted rich indicates it’s high quality, the top cheese cream was so good, fat creamy i couldnt stop eating!!
Service was quick, drinks pumped out constantly. $7 per cup.
No seating the inside is pretty small it’s a better shop for togo.
cant wait to come back to try their matcha pandan that looks yummy too! 9.25/10”
Korean • $$
“This place is great. We were greeted by them and they asked us to wait while they set the table. We happened to catch them at a good time because as soon as we finished ordering the food, the restaurant filled up quickly. The food didn't disappoint. Sometimes what looks good on Instagram doesnt translate in real life. The boys wanted Katsu so they ordered 2 but we honestly only need 1. Pro tip, if you ordered the Katsu and the garlic su yuk, eat the katsu first. Once you have a bite of the 10 hours sous vide pork belly, everything else just tasted tough. Trust me... i was loving the tender pork katsu until I bit into the sous vide pork. After that there was no going back. By the way, the bathroom is clean which is a plus
Kid-friendliness: yes”

“Servers were super kind and really good at making sure we were taken care of. This place is super dated but the food is on point and the price is fantastic. My 9 and 11 year old were charged the adult price, but hey it's only $21 for menu A. They usually just eat brisket but they liked the beef belly and ribeye bulgogi this time around. The pork belly was also really yummy. There is free thrifty ice cream near the door that we almost missed. Really great value. Would come back for sure.”

“So happy I found this gem coffee shop ? My barista reccommended me the seasonal special drink Matcha Meadow ??? As a regular matcha enjoyer, this is a nice great change. The fragrant rose and lavender really complement the already tasty drink (beautiful for the gram too ?). The cozy vibe is suitable for friends and family hangout. I saw many people study here as well. Will be coming back to try other items on the menu!”

“BEST TAMALES!!! I have tried many tamales throughout the years and hands down, these are the most delicious tamales I have ever tasted! Not only do they have the best tamales, but anything you try here will exceed your expectations! To top it all off, their customer service is the best, they are all very professional, respectful and caring. They even gave us a free dessert that was also very delicious. I will definitely be back here!”

“Went at 3pm on a Monday and it was not busy. The barista up front was
very friendly and helped me pick both a drink and a bag of beans to take home. I could not have asked for better customer service.
I ordered the black forest latte and it was an easy 5/5 for me. Not too sweet while, having a strong coffee taste with a hint of cherry and the cookie crumbs rounding it out. I will come back to order it again or try other drinks.”

“Wanted to go somewhere that offered raw marinated crab and I have to tell you that this plans has it and does not disappoint. It tasted so fresh, a little sweet and spicy but oh my lanta it’s to die for. If you’re wanting to try it I definitely would come here if you’re in the area. I also got bulgogi as another dish and the food offered here are nicely portioned. Pretty big, flavorful and soooo good. Service was quick, great and sweet. It is a small little place but I would recommend calling if you were to bring a party of probably 6 or more. Inside it’s like a cute little dine in and not a huge restaurant. The atmosphere is welcoming and warming.”

“
Family friendly: 4/5
Stroller friendly: 2/5
ADA accessible: 2/5
First off, the service here is excellent!
Second, the food is great as well and very reasonably priced. We ended up ordering pad se ew with chicken ($10.99), green curry with chicken ($11.99), and panang Curry with chicken ($11.99), and Mango Sticky rice (was complimentary but usually $8.99) because my 2 y/o wouldn't stop crying. It was like magic for us. Not so much for him because he not used to those flavors yet lol. Only downside I thought about the food was the pad se ew needed just a touch more stir fry sauce,but other than that everything else was great!
The place inside is cozy. I feel like it seats about 30 people max and there are 2 booths, so if you have a stroller like we did, it gets tight. Not too sure how a Wheelchair would fit, but I'm sure the staff would be very willing to accommodate. As far parking, it's limited in a street corner 4 Plex, but come at the right time and you're good.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.”

“I had an amazing visit to Buca di Beppo in Garden Grove, such a great place right in Orange County. This is my new favorite place to go for authentic Italian Cuisine. Sammii recommended the chicken parmigiana and red velvet cake and it was really delicious. It felt great to get such a friendly welcome upon showing up as well. Sammii was kind, so helpful going way above and beyond to make sure my time there was incredible. Adrianna also took some really great pics that our family loves. I have absolutely no complaints at all I highly recommend everyone to check this place out and find out for yourself why everyone is so pleased with the food and service.”

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.”

“We dined at Amarith Table last night for the first time and can't wait to tell all of our friends about what a Great Restaurant it is. There is literally something on the menu for everyone. The food is delicious ontop of being all organic. The service was top-notch: friendly & efficient. Every staff member came to our table to introduce themselves and to see how things were. When we left we felt like we were part of The Amarith Family. We cant wait to Come Back...Woohoo!”

Korean • $
“Nice little place. I was looking for something different from the normal ramen or pho for dinner. I have had jjambbong at a couple of other places and they were good. This place was also good. I ordered the seafood with a rib soup dish and some dumplings. They did not disappoint. The dumplings were chicken with veggies. I put a couple in my soup and that really upped the flavor. The soup can be spicy to many and being an Asian dish it could start you on fire if not careful. I opted to try it mild and it still had some spice. It was a perfect for a cold night. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.”
Bubble Tea • $$
“The service was incredible! There was so many amazing choices to choose from. I drank my first full cup of boba milk tea which is huge! I ordered ‘brown sugar, crème brûlée 50% sweetness plus boba.’”
Japanese • $$
“Highly recommend! Great for the whole family. The server was super nice and the food was delicious! We ordered the burrito way and the baked Alaska. Excellent. The fish melted in the mouth and the sauces were yummy. Great presentation too. The kids had tamago. They always like the sweet egg sushi.
Kid-friendliness: I always see family with kids here. And my kids eat their food. All good.”

Ice Cream Shop • $
“I was craving something different from the usual Vietnamese chè or boba. Bake&Che is my go-to comfort spot, but I found this place that stays open later than most. I saw a few people online rave about the purple rice yogurt, and when the person ahead of me ordered it too, I took it as a sign. I ended up getting that and the durian ice cream. I’m so glad I did. The texture of the “Purple Rice Yogurt / Nếp Cẩm Bạch Ngọc” was so satisfying, and the durian ice cream had that bold, unmistakable punch I love.”

“Personal Review – Han Nam Udon & Sushi (Garden Grove, CA)
Han Nam Udon & Sushi is my go-to local Korean-Japanese comfort spot. It’s not a flashy place—no trendy decor or Instagram gimmicks—but what it does offer is something harder to find: food that tastes like it was made for regulars, not tourists.
Their udon is the star: rich, clean broth that’s soothing and satisfying, especially on a cool day. The noodles are perfectly chewy, and the toppings are always fresh. I’ve probably ordered the shrimp tempura udon a dozen times and it’s been consistent every visit.
Sushi here is simple, not overcomplicated. It’s not the place for high-end toro or uni, but their rolls are well-balanced and generous for the price. The Han Nam roll is a personal favorite—just enough spice, just enough crunch.
The staff? Quiet but kind. Service is efficient without being rushed. It feels like a family place, the kind of spot you come back to after a long day just to eat something that makes you feel okay again.
Bottom line:
If you want fancy plating or fusion frills, this isn’t it. But if you appreciate simple, honest food with real flavor, Han Nam might become your favorite too.”
Ramen • $
“Tried this place for the 1st time. At the door, you notice the sign that says Military Discount. Thank you for that. Started with Egg Rolls and Spicy Edamame. Great portions, amazing flavors. Sushi had Salmon and it was very good. The ramen was Pork based ans it had a good kick. Good spicy with so much flavor. I gave the 4 stars because they have TV's and I wanted a basketball game. They couldn't change the channels for whatever reason. Asked for the bill and apply the Military Discount on the bill. The discount only applies to the Things I ate/ordered. I was there with my wife so they gave us 2 checks. It was pretty weird but oh well. But that doesn't change the fact that food was great and I want to try more items on the Menu. Good beer selection too 🍺 🍻 Enjoy!”

“Saw this place on TikTok and had it saved for when I visit OC (im from SD). So when my friends and I went to Disneyland it was the perfect opportunity to try this place the day after! The food was incredible, everything we ordered was so flavorful and the perfect portion size. My boyfriend and I ordered the shaken beef noodles and the banh mi chao. My friends also ordered the banh mi chao and the banh mi bo kho (not pictured). Definitely cant find vietnamese food this good in San Diego! We also ordered a side of pho broth and that was amazing as well. Service was also great, our waitress was a really nice vietnamese auntie who took amazing care of us. 10/10 restaurant in all aspects and we will definitely be coming back here!! Highly recommend!”

It tasted like my childhood. Best tàu hủ ky in town! I loved the filling of it and was fried to perfection. The thịt nướng was a bit chewy, but the flavor was great. If you're looking for a good cơm tấm place, I highly recommend this place! Bonus was they were playing classic Vpop!”

We had the duck tacos and pumpkin and prawn soup, which we would make a special trip back for. Manny was excellent and checked on us throughout the meal. Above and beyond service! There was live music with an amazing violinist and pianist. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Plus it's absolutely beautiful inside!”

“I’ve been to this location several times, and they consistently deliver. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting and with the newly remodeled bar, it’s the perfect spot to hang out and sip on something good.
Their breakfast selection is solid. I always go for the avocado toast, it’s a favorite of mine, especially because they bake their own bread. It’s so fresh and flavorful! This time, I also tried the seasonal banana matcha latte. It was a bit on the sweet side for me, but still enjoyable.
My boyfriend ordered the buttermilk biscuit & egg sandwich and a vanilla latte both were a hit. They also have an impressive coffee selection and several locations to choose from, which is a bonus. The staff is always friendly and efficient, making the experience even better.
We love coming here, but a quick pro tip: try to avoid Sundays if you’re looking for a peaceful coffee moment. They share a door with the church next door, and once that door opens, brace yourself for a flood of people. Still love this place but not when I’m sipping in a sea of chaos. Lol.”
Mexican • $
“I wasn't sure how much I'd like this place. Most of the reviews were from Disney tourists, and the scene here is pretty basic. But I must say the tacos checked all the boxes. Very good and simple, real street tacos. Service was very warm. This was exactly what I needed.”

“I went to a new chè place last night and was disappointed. New doesn’t always mean better. So this morning we had to go check out the OG of all bakery and chè place that my aunt keeps talking about.
Boy oh boy, their avocado drink is literally the best in town. You get the rich and creamy fresh avocado not the powder mix. Had so many avocado chunks and jelly. They made it fresh. Not so sweet.
We also got a few of the cupcake size desserts like the steamed layer cake, baked taro cake, salted egg sponge cake, and pate chaud.
It’s so convenient in cupcake size to snack. $1.50 each or 4 for $6 which isn’t a deal when it comes out the same. You can increase the size on most of these items. You can order party trays of up to 80 pieces or more.
Even the pate chaud is tiny but delicious. It was evenly proportional in meat and pastry.
I will for sure be back to try their banana bread and other baked goods!”

“Extremely good crab dish for about $40 but you get a whole fresh (raw) crab and they show you how to eat it so I was quite happy about it. The server opened up the crab and squeezed the meat out right there for you. I didn’t expect this awesome food performance from the food court type restaurant. Other Korean dishes are very good too. My favorites are the seafood pancake and the tofu soup. Totally worth a stop! One of the not many places I want to be back!”

“Get yourself a brownie and peanut butter and jelly bar for fewer calories than a burrito bowl (if their nutrition labels are to be believed). These are my 2 favorites — fudgy, moist, and with a decent amount of protein. If you are going to get their mini donuts or cake, be prepared for them to be pretty dense as well, and not a typical cakey texture. They use ingredients like coconut oil, protein powder, and nut flours for the base of their treats, so although they may not be super healthy tasting, they do tend to have that healthy kind of ‘vegan cookie’ texture. Pricey, but worth it!”

The army soup was slightly bland, but still hot the spot. Seafood pancake had enough seafood - they didn’t just put a ton of dough. The music was very loud though - I felt like I was at a club.”

“Da, I have eaten Nem chua from this tiem many times, my mother said it was delicious, these days I just bought shrimp and meat tapioca cake and Nam cake from Kim Tam store for the whole family to eat, Oi!!!!! !!Everyone compliments that it's delicious, the cake is just right, the pink is too thin or sticky, so please invite OBCC, anyone who hasn't eaten this potential cake, then OBCC and ANH CHI should try it first.”

“Luis and Salvatore were both so amazing an accommodating. My party of three preferred Mocktails, and they were able to give us great options for our meal. They both were especially attentive as we relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful setting of the Embassy Suites atrium and water fountains. The Mezze Platter and Short Rib Pappardelle Pasta were amazing!”

“Stone bowl bibimbap is what they are known for - I'd recommend you order that. Comes out piping hot and with all the fixings. The Bibim Naengmyeon is also very tasty and tastes similar to how it's served in Korea.”
Breakfast • $$
“FOOD
huge portion sizes. i personally think the buffet price is not worth it; not much variety in food. just generic breakfast food. unless youre a very big eater or like eating a mix of everything, stick to the menu. chia seed pudding could use some more toppings. it was like 90 percent chia
SERVICE
just a little slow. servers are nice.
ENVIRONMENT
very convenient for people staying at hyatt. lots of seating. cool decorations.”

“This is a restaurant/lounge. Fri and Sat nights they have DJ playing music. This place is opening late till 2am during the weekend I believe and midnight during weekdays. Love their grilled chicken feet better than the kinda steamed ones. Their ribeye not bad at all also the bone marrows. I was there for both brunch/lunch and dinner. But I was never there when the was DJ. Weekday is easier to find parking than weekends”

“✅ There are many snacks, especially seafood.
✅ The snails are fresh and delicious but the dipping sauce is a bit small because each snail here is very big, not like the kind in Vietnam.
✅ Po pia is also quite delicious, with a lot of dipping sauce, but instead of making big rolls that don't fit your mouth, I think the kitchen should change it to 6 small rolls. Wrap it in plastic so it doesn't stick together or how to separate it because from the inside to the outside of the table it's already stuck together, so when you open it you have to eat it in a bowl ? the roll is too big to eat at a time kkk
✅ Delicious Thai green tea, the cup is a bit small ?
✅ The space is airy, but when I go, most of the tables are placed on the steps, not below.
❗️It seems like the shop is short of staff and hasn't assigned the right tasks so I see customers coming, empty tables and chairs but no one to clean so I have to wait. At some other places, just wait until there are no empty tables left. The person at the registration counter is very cute. I see you're being rushed by everyone but you're still very polite. I entered at 9:20, waited for the table until the food arrived, which was around 10:30 pm. Some other tables also waited for a long time without food so they canceled so the restaurant should fix it, rather than waiting for customers to complain and then offer is not a good way ?
❗️You should add a wastebasket at the table, because many people don't have space to put it all on the table or on the ground, it will take longer to clean up.
I hope the restaurant develops and reworks better ❤️ I really like this model even though the comments on fb are quite toxic but I hope the restaurant can maintain it.”

“Best of every category, food, service, and atmosphere. Remember, this is NOT a family restaurant but a drinking/eating place. It feels like a mix between Hooters and a tavern. Very honest people, no over charge ever. A friend of mine dropped
his wallet and called them when he got home. Surprise 🤞! Yes, we have it. He came the next day and received his wallet back without missing a dime or any plastic. Wow, what a rarity. True story.”

“We originally had reservations at Boil Daddy. Boil Daddy called 7mins before our reservation to let us know they couldn’t accommodate a party of two because they had larger parties coming in.
We came to Raising Claw & it was the best seafood boil bag & customer service. They start you off with complimentary french fries. At the end they offer yummy ice cream. It was an incredible experience. We will definitely visit again.”

“This is a restaurant located inside Great Wolf, so they appropriately offer a kids' menu and coloring activities to keep children entertained. We visited during the weekend and waited about 10 minutes without a reservation, but we were not bored thanks to the small shows happening around us. The food was affordable and decent in taste, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.”

“My family and I have been coming to Noorani Halal Restaurant for many years. We have always had a great experience with their food. Today we came in for their Sunday Buffet. Truly it was amazing! There were at least 25 dishes…including Briyani, Haleem, Piya, Nihari, Kabobs, Halwa Puri and so much more! They also had Kheer, Ras Malai, Gulab Jamun and fresh cut fruit for dessert. Excellent food and great service! Definitely must stop by to dine here.”

“I have been to many Boiling Point locations (in LA and OC) and I have to admit that this location is the best one so far in terms of space and service. This Boiling Point has a lot of tables so they can provide more and faster service than other locations. Our host is friendly and attentive ??. My party and I ordered their beef hot pot and Jin Tea butterfly pea flower lemonade & pink dragon (dragon fruit, lychee and oolong), and we enjoyed that combination a lot. I will definitely be back again in the near future! Keep up with the great service!
Dietary restrictions: A lot of garlic based sauces here and might have a lot of peanuts trace so be careful if you're allergic to those ingredients.
Parking: They have a shared parking lot with other businesses, not too difficult in finding a spot.
Wheelchair accessibility: Double-door entrance and plenty of spaces inside the restaurant.”

“My family and friends in Orange County-California often come to Van's Bakery to buy cakes, candy, beef jerky and especially delicious coffee. We then moved to Texas but continued to buy and they delivered to our door fast and on time. The dedicated service of the Owner and staff is commendable. Vietnamese friends should stop by and buy products from Van's Bakery, famous in Little Saigon Vietnamese community. As 2024 begins, we wish Owners and staff a Happy & prosperous New Year!

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.”

“Came here with my family for my cousin's birthday. Always love this buffet. Full sushi buffet. In addition they also have a full Mongolian barbecue style portion of the buffet. Similar to the common fast food Mongolian barbecue that you can find around town. They have various fish entrees. Also dishes that one could find typically at your local Asian-style fast food restaurants. And all buffet style, so it is all you can eat. ?”

“As a fitness enthusiast, I’m very mindful of my diet, but I like to enjoy a cheat meal every now and then. While driving by Firefly Burger, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did!
From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly employees. The restaurant had a great vibe—clean, refreshing, and paired with nice music that made the atmosphere enjoyable.
I ordered the Smoky Burger meal, which comes with fries and a drink. Let me start with the burger: the meat was cooked to perfection, high-quality, and packed with flavor. The bread was hot and fresh, and the portion size was generous. The fries were crispy, and the meal as a whole left me feeling full and satisfied. What really impressed me was how I didn’t feel bloated or sluggish afterward, which is rare for a burger meal.
Firefly Burger has officially become my go-to spot for cheat meals. I’m excited to explore the rest of the menu next time!
If you’re looking for a great burger spot, I highly recommend Firefly Burger—you won’t be disappointed!”

Ramen • $
“Tried this place for the 1st time. At the door, you notice the sign that says Military Discount. Thank you for that. Started with Egg Rolls and Spicy Edamame. Great portions, amazing flavors. Sushi had Salmon and it was very good. The ramen was Pork based ans it had a good kick. Good spicy with so much flavor. I gave the 4 stars because they have TV's and I wanted a basketball game. They couldn't change the channels for whatever reason. Asked for the bill and apply the Military Discount on the bill. The discount only applies to the Things I ate/ordered. I was there with my wife so they gave us 2 checks. It was pretty weird but oh well. But that doesn't change the fact that food was great and I want to try more items on the Menu. Good beer selection too 🍺 🍻 Enjoy!”

I ordered 2 matcha einspanners and it was superrr delicious, not too sweet and the matcha tasted rich indicates it’s high quality, the top cheese cream was so good, fat creamy i couldnt stop eating!!
Service was quick, drinks pumped out constantly. $7 per cup.
No seating the inside is pretty small it’s a better shop for togo.

The customer service is only average since they have only one server, so mostly we ordered on the self-checkout instead, so no comment on that.
But this place is a germ for sure, you guys should give it a try”
