“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!”

Pho • $
“I cannot believe I have been eating here for five years ever since I first moved to the US. I have tried many pho places, but I still love the flavor here the meat is tender, and the broth and everything blend together in such a harmonious way. Everyone on the recycletattoo team eats here and often orders takeout for our American and Mexican tattoo clients to introduce them to what Northern Vietnamese pho tastes like. The only downside is that this long standing restaurant hasn't upgraded its space, and the herbs are a bit too wet when served, which can make it a bit difficult to invite clients over to dine in. Still, I love the taste here and hope for some improvements so we can send even more clients from our tattoo shop over.”

“We were staying at the Marriott suites last weekend and had breakfast here. Highly recommend the chilaquiles with carne asada or the breakfast burrito also with carne asada. They were huge portions and full of flavor! And if you’re looking for a section to sit in, you’ll want to ask for Leo’s section. He was super attentive, gave us the delicious recommendations and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best dining experience! He remembers familiar faces if you’re staying a few days and even catches on to your preferences! He is the model for excellent hospitality!”

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.”

“I was so happy to discover this Eastern European store during my vacation in the USA. It truly felt like finding a taste of home far away. I enjoyed a delicious langoș, authentic "mici"(skinless saugages) that tasted just like back home, and traditional Romanian soups. Everything brought back wonderful memories and made me feel incredibly nostalgic. The owners were very kind and helpful, guiding us in choosing the best delicacies. Their friendliness and hospitality made the whole experience even more special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Eastern European flavors!”

“Sooo delicious. We ordered the soft shell crab appetizer and it had such a delicate fried flavor. It hit the spot. It paired perfectly with the citrusy dressing in the side salad. We ordered the jalapeño bomb and Jessica roll. They're both shrimp tempura rolls but where the jalapeño bomb was creamy and spicy the Jessica roll tasted bright and fresh. We left full and very satisfied.”

Chinese • $
“This place has been in the community for decades and they’re well known for Korean owner but great, very decent reasonable prices and the black ink noodles. I had been to this place over 3 decades. Used to go here with my kid and/or with his friends & cousins. I also had through family Christmas for a group of 70 people. The place is big and can handle over 250 people easily with private rooms and common area. Parking is easy since they do have a good size of parking lot. Clean and simple but Chinese vibe for sure. The staff here are very nice, attentive, helpful and only guys (have not seen a woman beside the cashier or owner at the front desk). The menu has plenty & simple of typical Chinese or American/Chinese dishes. Don’t get me wrong, I like it and reminded me of the early years. Easy and fast turn around for sure. Tasty and nice portion, it’s not the best nor the worst but worth it for the price and yummy. This place used to be Packed all the time during lunch time or weekends & holiday. But it easy less these days. Took my kid and went here for late late lunch or very early dinner so just 3-4 tables but same taste, consistency and nice, warm service. So glad I stopped by, been a long time since I was here.”

Korean • $$
“Nice and cozy place to grab a bite to eat. Service was easy and helpful, and I enjoyed my experience here. Even though their food is not necessarily something I would go out of my way to get, it tasted pretty good. The menu was a little vague, and some of the options seemed a little pricey, and perhaps we could've ended up getting better dishes. The restaurant itself smells pretty good once you walk in, and while the food tastes pretty good too, its taste doesn't seem to be on a par with its aroma. In other words, the smell is deceiving; make sure you know what you are ordering. The sides were pretty good and substantial. Beware: the Dawa Chicken tastes very sweet. Might recommend this place to another person, and might come back if I'm in the close area.
P.S. Public Restrooms are available.”

The Purple Rice Yogurt had perfectly chewy purple rice with super creamy yogurt, the Durian Mung Bean Coconut Juice was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the Taro Soursop Yogurt was such a fun combination of creamy, sweet, and tangy. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and well made. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. Can't wait to come back and try more! 🤩”

“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 got tangsuyook and jjajangmyun. To be honest, I didn't expect too much of tangsuyook, but from my first bite, it was really really good. I would definitely go back for that. Jjajang wasnt impressive, not too bad. I just couldn't eat spicy food that day so couldnt try jjampong.
The lady working in the front is very pleasant, and she went around passing around aprons to people wearing light colored clothes!”

“What a perfect hole in the wall Sushi spot. I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of Disney. Narrowed it down to Hana out of 50 sushi restaurants. How this restaurant only has a 4.5 rating is besides me. Absolutely incredible service and food. FREE MISO SOUP!!! Yes, you read that correctly. They also have ACE if you are a big eater. There is a small alcohol serving too. The location has outdoor seating, but I didn't see anyone using it. I ordered a regular Tuna roll as part of dinner, and it came with the rice on the out. It was perfectly fresh and delicious. I asked if the Chef can do Tuna Maki as off the menu, and he pulled through! I cant say enough good things. 5 Stars all the way. I hope I can return.
Tip: Parking is limited.
PS: Yes, the Miso soup really is free, and its really good.”

“Every dish that came out was incredibly flavorful. You could smell them long before you saw them. I love lemongrass so I ordered the spicy lemongrass chicken. It is hands down the best lemongrass vegan dish I've ever had. My friend really enjoyed her dish.
Their service is very hands off. We were allowed to sit there for 3 hours catching up and nobody rushed us. During our time there a wide variety of people cycled through. Their stellar reputation is spreading. I can't wait to come back and try other dishes.”

What a surprise to randomly find them as I was driving. My lucky day.
Huge congratulations to the corporation that grew from 1 store to now several hundred locations. You make the world’s best fried chicken.”

“This was my HS back in the good old days for good burgers & fries and hanging out with friends afterschool. Was working in the area so stopped by for lunch. Same old setting, decor with sport teams plagues hanging on the wall and the seatings are all booth seats. Menu is simple but plenty of choices for both breakfast and lunch/dinner. Great friendly staff with attractive service. Easy order and they asked your name and they brought out the foods to your table once it done. The place is clean and well kept. Parking can be rough especially in the weekends & holidays. I normally would recommend bacon cheeseburger here but I got pastrami sandwich this time. It was good, abit too wet that just makes the bread felt apart. Fries are great and the prices are good for the size. Glad I stopped by and relived and ate the foods here. Great memories and great to see they’re still around.”

“Cafe Artist is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Westminster. Every dish I've tried here has been packed with flavor and beautifully prepared, making it hard to go wrong with anything on the menu.
My absolute favorite is the coconut snails—they're rich, savory, and incredibly delicious. It's one of those dishes I find myself craving long after I leave. That said, everything I've ordered here has been a hit, from the appetizers to the main dishes.
The service is just as impressive as the food. The servers are incredibly attentive, friendly, and always make sure everything is taken care of throughout the meal. Their warm hospitality makes the dining experience even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine with outstanding food and excellent service, Cafe Artist is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!”

“My family and I still enjoy coming to Capital Seafood. The ambiance is welcoming, staff is always accommodating and the food is still a 10! We come here for family birthdays, special gatherings or even if we have that craving of authentic Chinese Cambodian flavors. If the restaurant doesn’t close even during holidays, it’s definitely a special place to visit! It’s always a big feast for big families and it’s worth it! Thanks Kelvin!!!!”

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.”

“I came by because of the special pricing on their Com Tam and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The Suon, Cha and Nuoc Mam were superbly done. I haven't found this level of quality and expertise outside of VN so this was great. Their Bi is was somewhat off on the day of my visit because the pork skin was a bit sticky but the flavor was fine. They're doing a Com Tam special for $10 and $12 probably to bring in new customers, but I would probably pay $20 and save myself a trip to VN (ha ha). Will update my review when I have a chance to try their other food items.”

“Really solid experience here. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made everything feel easy and relaxed.
The baked fish was the standout—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with a nice balance of seasoning. You can tell they use quality ingredients.

The DJ was great, and even though the music gets loud, it was still totally possible to talk, laugh, and actually enjoy time with friends. Perfect balance of good vibes, great food, and a fun night out. Would definitely come back again.”

“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!”

“I used to buy the Jongga Kimchi (52.9 oz) from Costco. The flavor is actually pretty good, milder and not too sour but the jar is a bit too large for me.
Recently, I saw people in a Korean community group recommending Kimchi Nara, which is also available at H Mart, so I decided to try their smaller 32 oz size. Their kimchi is a bit more on the sour side compared to Jongga, but it works really well for cooking and I used it to stir-fry pork and it turned out delicious.
They also offer different size options at H Mart, which is great depending on how much you plan to use. Definitely a more flexible choice for different needs.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“What I think of as the little Costco. Especially compared to the newer Costco in the Tustin District location. While I have never recorded an A-B comparison, it feels like it doesn't have as large a selection of items. Often the store feels almost stuffed. The fast food section is small and the few inside tables are often full.On the other hand, it's 32 pump gas station is superb! I would visit this Costco again”

“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.”

I gave 4stars, but would've gave 5stars but the shrimp was fried with the shell on for some reason. I bit into it and wish they peeled the shell, then fried it. Shell was not good at all. They should tell us before we order that they prepare it that way.”

I ordered for the first time today and won’t ever go elsewhere for my pastries. The cookies are ADDICTING and the sourdough is UNREAL.
I fooled myself every time I took a new bite thinking that it couldn’t get any better.
I would, without hesitation, recommend coming here for all of your homemade goods.
What an absolute pleasure it was to meet the owner, Brianna, as well. Food is gourmet and her welcoming personality is a huge plus. Knowlegable, clean and such a sweet person.
Thank you, Brianna! Will definitely be back.
