Cafe • $
“I saw this place while visiting a friend and decided to try it out.
It’s a fairly big coffee shop/cafe with comparable seating both indoor and outdoor. It’s attached to the Calvary Chapel in Garden Grove, so plenty of parking available.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their items, even offering drink and food suggestions.
I ordered their signature Churro Latte that has house made dulce de leche, vanula and cinnamon. It definitely taste like a light churro, not overly sweet.
Great spot, would definitely come back soon.”

“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”

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!”

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!”

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.”

“Awesome food and great service. Atmosphere is what one would expect a strip mall food joint to be. Garlic paste seemed to be house made but the harissa seemed to be sambal oulek (an Asian chili sauce) everything else is really really good, especially the rice.”
Thai • $
“
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.”

“Everything was good. Good food, friendly and funny waitress, they even gave us 10% off because we are here for a birthday meal. The skewers auto rotate which is very nice. The only thing I wish is the food can be cooked faster for bigger parties. Some dish recommendations: scallop, hot dog, lame, beef.”
Chicken • $$
“Portions are bigger than we had expected. Strongly recommend their original flavored chicken either sticks or wings. If you cant finish, put the rest in the freezer bag, and airfry them for about 5-8 mins and enjoy.”

“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!”

“My son and I love this place. We both have dairy allergies. The pizza, like the actual dough, is such high quality. I would recommend this place to anyone, even if they’re not vegan.”
Ramen • $
“Went for an early dinner on Tuesday. I was surprised to find a brand new AYCE menu option at the Garden Grove location. It is $24 and available all day. There is a lot of ramen, appetizers and sushi rolls to choose from.
I had the tonkatsu black ramen which had a lot of toppings. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. The broth was fantastic. I also had the tonkatsu miso ramen. Just as delicious and recommend both.
For appetizers I recommend the grilled gyoza, the shrimp tempura and the egg rolls. The char is the grilled gyoza took it to another level for me. The tempura is crispy and not oily at all. The egg rolls were crispy and filled with flavorful vegetables.
For sushi rolls I got a California roll, a Dragon roll, an OMG roll and spam musubi. The rolls are all really packed with ingredients and all fresh and delicious. The spam musubi is really thick cut. I recommend all of them.
The AYCE MENU is only available at the Garden Grove location and I cannot wait to go back and try more options.”

“The best Falafel I have ever had. Perfectly cooked. They offered me a sample before I even ordered. One of the best values for family meals around.”
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.”
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.”

“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!”

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!

“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!”

“This place is about 8 miles from where I live but is always worth the drive. Food is delicious and is served right away. The price is cheaper compared to other Korean bar/restaurants. 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.”

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”
Vietnamese • $$$
“Best Vietnamese food I've ever tried. Didn't have a chance to go to the restaurant but got some to go foods from there. The foods are delicious, I wish I could speak their language so I can try all of the foods on their menu. Would recommended if you ever visit Westminster CA.”

“So this is my new go to Thai place. I've been here a handful of time before they rebranded and remodeled. The servers are sweet and accommodating, the food is amazing and plated beautifully, the decor and music is very modern and creates a nice atmosphere to eat in. Would recommend to anyone looking for Thai cuisine.”
Seafood • $$
“✅ 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.”

“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.”

Hot Pot • $$
“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 • $
“Went for an early dinner on Tuesday. I was surprised to find a brand new AYCE menu option at the Garden Grove location. It is $24 and available all day. There is a lot of ramen, appetizers and sushi rolls to choose from.
I had the tonkatsu black ramen which had a lot of toppings. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. The broth was fantastic. I also had the tonkatsu miso ramen. Just as delicious and recommend both.
For appetizers I recommend the grilled gyoza, the shrimp tempura and the egg rolls. The char is the grilled gyoza took it to another level for me. The tempura is crispy and not oily at all. The egg rolls were crispy and filled with flavorful vegetables.
For sushi rolls I got a California roll, a Dragon roll, an OMG roll and spam musubi. The rolls are all really packed with ingredients and all fresh and delicious. The spam musubi is really thick cut. I recommend all of them.
The AYCE MENU is only available at the Garden Grove location and I cannot wait to go back and try more options.”

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”

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”
