“My friend and I went on a girl's night out date and this is literally all we've been talking about for a week. I didn't even realize it was close to the coffee spot i went to, Phin smith. It was an interesting spot but i loved it cuz there was plenty of parking available and as soon as you enter, the decor was beautiful and super cute. You had the option to sit inside or outside with your own fireplace and of course we had to choose that option. I love a good fireplace spot! The Dodgers were on the screens inside on the night they had a grand slam. They had so many cute cocktails to choose from and I seriously couldn't decide but our waitress helped me with that decision and I LOVED my drink. really wish I remembered it, but if i see it on the menu i'll know for sure. We also ordered the calamari, salad, and the truffle fries. Everything was perfection! The salad had a nice spicy kick to it but it was so yummy!!! We keep talking about going again so we'll definitely be back at the end of this month.“

“It is currently one of my favorite places to be. The staff is wonderful. They are great at recommending drinks. The drinks on the menu are super creative and the staff gets a hand in creating new ideas. There is a live jazz band on Wednesdays from 8-11 that is KILLING it! There's a pool table, and outdoor partio/smoking area and they have mexican food most nights. I freaking love this place ?

Parking: There's usually plenty of street parking but when it's busy I just park in the lot across the street with no issues“

“Definitely recommend. Walked in and instantly loved the decor and vibes. The bartender was super friendly and amazing. The drinks were delicious and strong just how I love them. We went on a crafting and karaoke night.“

“Everything was fantastic from the food & drinks, to the service, to the ambiance & music. We absolutely loved everything. Ally & Noah were absolutely amazing! The entire staff was so accommodating and kind! Definitely going to be back!“

“Service was fast and excellent, the ambiance was fascinating and really makes for a special evening, the drinks were so fun to watch them make, smoked drinks especially. The patio was large and lots of seating. The food was fresh and delicious. Great place for a date or night out with friends !“

“My wife and I stopped by for lunch on a Monday. It was not at all busy so we were seated right away. We ordered legacy fries with garlic Parmesan cheese, harvest salad (arugula and artisan lettuce) and Dan Talk Thai (shrimp and salmon in coconut milk sauce over jasmine rice). Fries were one of the best I've had... crispy with the right amount of garlic and Parmesan cheese. The salad was refreshing with an Indian or Mediterranean spice dressing. The Thai dish was a nice balance of sweet and savory although the Jasmine was cooked a little al dente for our taste. Overall, we had a nice experience and will return to this farm to table restaurant.“

“Always a good time love this place“

“Nice vibe-y place to stop off for a cocktail. Tucked away in the corner but there are plenty of clear signs pointing the way. Most of their cocktails had an Asian bent: miso, ume, shiso, etc.
Nice enough staff too.
Would recommend“

“Best bar in California hands down!“

“I stopped by this place on a Friday night, and oh my goodness, it was hopping! The vibe is incredible—it honestly feels like you're eating in a nightclub! There are loads of TVs showing music videos, and the artwork on the walls is just awesome. I decided to go for the guacamole, which came with crispy chicharrón, and it was absolutely delicious! The pepino agua fresca was super refreshing, and I couldn't help but try the shrimp enchiladas, too. All in all, it’s such a fantastic spot to enjoy a meal, totally packed with great vibes!“

“I was invited to their soft opening and went last night with a few friends. It's a new late night spot with small bites and drinks. Customer service was on point! Ron does an amazing job catering to clientele and providing great hospitality. He is truly interested in making sure customers are happy and open to ideas for any improvements! Drinks were good and strong. We had the Japanese old fashioned and lychee martini. Best part was it was buy one get one free! My favorite food was the wagyu and blue crab hand roll. It was a cool concept, they did a "reverse" hand roll and I especially loved that part because the nori was nice and crispy. Very innovative! Can't wait to return and try more of the menu items. They are going to incorporate bar food in the future and can't wait to see how it comes along. Also, they had good music selection!!!!“

“The small restaurants were very good and clean. I also loved the food there! A little overpriced but great food. Overall would recommend to eat with friends“

“excellent bar keepers and bands!!!“

“I gotta say, Las Vegas Bar takes your mind off of whatever. Santana jente vibe. Chill people. Beautiful girls on their hustle. Gotta speak Spanish though, not even spanglish, espanish. Some where to lay back and get drunk off the girls. I've been just a few times to unwind, switch gears, works every time. No one trippn, buena jente.“

“Excelente place , delicious food and cocktails 🍹 Plus the services is a 5 ⭐️ i will definitely go back to el matatan 🙌“

“Love this place. Great atmosphere and friendly people.“

“Excellent customer service. Drinks were delicious. Only downside is the price. It is a bit expensive but I guess that's California. Drinks are definitely worth it. Nice environment too. Also fyi. The restaurants around the bar close earlier than they are announcing on google. So if you are craving some food. Go as soon as you can. But other wise the bar is excellent.“

“Great place for a good time“

“Last min and just in time for last call both times. Margarita rocks then a shot of Patron to end the night right.. If i had more time i would like to try out their pool table or pinball. Cozy local corner bar. Not too busy for a Sat night. I know just who I'm brining NEXT TIME... ?“

“Bartender (Madlynn?) was very pretty and welcoming. Vibe was what I expect at a sportsbar and plenty of parking. When the Angels game started, I asked and they immediately threw the game on. No Complaints. If it was closer to home, I would be here all the time.“

“Small, nice bar in Santa Ana. Tuesday Nights Karaoke with KJ Bess, are just awesome! She's efficient, super sweet and makes it fun for everyone! Bar staff are nice too! If you're a Karaoke buff, stop on by and get your sing on with KJ Bess!

Parking: Parking is only steps away from the door! Lots of street parking too!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily Accessible!“

“Everything was excellent! Service was top notch as well.“

“Bartender Jonny was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Affordable drinks. Plenty of TVs. 3 pool tables. 1 juke box. Plenty of interesting characters. Give it a shot.“

“Great service, authentic Italian food“

“Good vibes only! Good foods! Good friends!“

“People raved about this sushi restaurant, it was decent but I don't think I'd go back. The service was outstanding, the food was good, but the prices are expensive for what you get. IMHO, there are better sushi restaurants for the same $. You won't have a bad meal, it just left me wanting for more. The only negative about this place is the loud noise inside, it's difficult to have a conversation without yelling, which only adds to the noise.“

“Very delicious food ❤️Friendly staff❤️“

“Bday! Great place and brought me a cupcake with candle!!!“

“The food was delicious and our server Ashton was incredible. We will be back soon❣️“

Both times the customer service was excellent, and the people taking our order went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter’s special needs accommodations. The food we have ordered has been delicious, too! It was a great place to relax and enjoy a good meal at the airport. We will definitely eat there again!“

“I absolutely love Kiazen Shabu! The food here is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and rich, flavorful broths that make every bite memorable. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly, always making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I especially appreciate how the owner often offers free alcohol to customers, adding that extra touch of hospitality. I first visited when they first opened a few years ago, and at that time, it wasn’t too busy. But with the incredible food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no surprise that Kiazen Shabu has become so popular. Now, it's always packed, so be prepared to wait, especially on weekends and during dinner hours – but trust me, it's worth it! I highly recommend trying most of their dishes; you won’t be disappointed. Kiazen Shabu is a must-visit for anyone who loves delicious food and top-notch service!“

“Very few places are as "on task" as these guys. If you're looking for executable innovation this might be your place.“
