“I was conflicted about whether to give Rol 4 or 5 stars. I’m a sushi and hand roll aficionado. I’d eat it daily and I’ve been to most of the places in SoCal. The fish quality here is very good. I got the lunch special and at $16 for 4 rolls that’s a very good price. But the rolls are very small. Usually I can have enough at 5 rolls to be full. Here I had 6 and I could have still eaten more.
Other than that, I have no complaints. It’s a clean restaurant located right off beach blvd in main part of city. The servers were attentive and nice. I’m just a big eater and I would have to order 7-8 rolls to feel satisfied.”

“The best açaí I’ve ever had. And I’m from Brazil and know what a good and authentic açaí is! And the service at this place is outstanding! Our attendant Bryan was very kind and attentive with our order! Loved it! Thank you!”
“I read good reviews so we thought would go and give a try. Well the family and I had fantastic meal. My husband had a goat fish and said was very flavorful and tasty. For the kids (8, 11)we got a mild Lamb Korma and Butter chicken. With these I confirmed that they would be mild enough for the kids. The butter chicken and lamb korma even though was ordered as mild (no spice at all to it) it had an absolutely amazing flavor to it- perfect for kids. Now I have had a lot of butter chicken and hands down this was the best I have ever had. The chicken fried rice we ordered was very tasty as well. Highlight for my husband was the beer from India. He said it was very nice and complimented the food nicely.”

“The best açaí bowl I’ve ever had in my life.
They had a great variety of toppings, the fruit was super fresh, and both the açaí and the pirulín were just right 🙌 not too runny, not too frozen. The staff was warm and friendly, and the place had a cozy vibe where you could sit down while you wait for your order or relax, and enjoy your bowl in the place. They have parking but is limited.
It’s definitely one of my favorite spots for açaí. I absolutely loved it!”
Ramen • $
“Every time I come here, which has been six times now. Every roll amazes me and is fantastic. You should definitely give the golden Cali and the baked lobster roll a try, they are two of my favorites.”

Lifted my mood and gave my body back some life. The banh mi was also great - fresh crunchy bread with a soft inside filled with freshly cooked yummies! Enjoy 👩🏻🍳”

The service is top notch, and the chef, Mr Cotch is the best. The atmosphere is very pleasant and inviting, it's a great place to have events and parties, dine in, or call and order by phone.

Coffee Roasteries • $
“Typically don't leave reviews, but this may be the best coffee I've get had. Prices are cheaper than all of the major coffee shops, and they roast their own coffee in the back.”
Thai • $$
“I came to this plaza today because I had to take a class over the weekend here and I'm happy I was stumbled upon this pretty sweet Thai spot. The atmosphere was chill and the service was pretty friendly. I got the khao soi chicken and it was quite tasty, tender chicken, thick noodles and crispy noodles, what's not to love. I was almost tempted to order some rice to soak up more of that awesome gravy. If I was in the area I would come back again.”

The first time I ate here I was hooked, the price is a bit high but good food is hard to come by! It's cash only weird hours and great beach vibes. DONT PASS IT UP!”
Hamburger • $
“Dropped in for my birthday, we’ve been coming to this shack for over 10 years. Come to find out the previous owners sold to a new amazing couple. Which kept the original flavors, menu and recipes. Still high standards with great flavor, and great portions. We stopped by a little after 10-11 am and got chatting with the couple who now owns the business and how they got it. A really amazing story and so so friendly, they gave our children a couple small dishes of sherbet while we chatted with them and waited for our burgers. Wish to have stayed and chatted longer but had to road trip back home. We will still be coming back as often as we can. WE LOVE POCKET BURGER!! ❤️”

The food order was perfect and each person loved their entree. The salmon dinner was moist, flat iron steak salad was tender and fresh, the vegetarian pasta was flavorful, all other entrées were delicious. The appetizers, spicy tuna stack, brussel sprouts and steak tartar were a delicious intro to precede our entrees. All perfectly prepared. We had two children with us and they enjoyed their meals which arrived promptly. Alvaro made our birthday and thanksgiving celebration so special. We will definitely return to Jolies for their fabulous service, view and food! Kudos to everyone at jolies who work together to provide thee Best!”
Thai • $
“First timer to Basil Thai and it was quite good. The location is a small place with a dozen tables and at 5pm on a Thursday, not busy. The anchor store for this shopping center was obviously T.J.
Service was fast, english was spoken clearly at my table with I guess Thai (?) spoken behind the counter. I had Chicken Basil Thai Fried Noodle plate and Tom Yum Noodle Bowl. I could not finish it all which is a good thing for takeaway. Both have a light spicy foundation that was not overwhelming and sufficient for lighter Thai palates. As a local customer, I will return.”
Italian • $$
“A nice cozy place with good food and excellent service. There was live piano music when we were there, which was a nice touch but could have been a shade quieter for my taste, although the music was well done. Lots of subtle twists on traditional Italian dishes. Worth checking out.”

“I used to go this del taco when i was a kid when my family would take a trip to the beach, always stopped here every time kinda like a routine habit. Hadn't been in over a decade until i took my daughter and wife after our first beach trip. Felt like i had too, for the sake of nostalgia. Perhaps my review is heavily favored in a positive memory but to me I like that it's a little crowded and a tiny little place, I love the food every time (My wife wasn't too thrilled but she's born and raised for Mexico so this is whitewashed to her (she says)) and the employees do their best and i think thats far better than expected for the area and its pace. Expect a line but it's fast and worth it.”

“Great little hole in the wall to fulfill your raw fish cravings. If you are tempted to try without breaking the bank or overcommitting to something new, I suggest you come here during the happy hour between 3 and 5pm and get their hand rolls. Its a little early for beer for me, but that is also on special at that time.
Parking: Shared with a lot of other places in the Walmart center, can get busy but can usually find something a few rows away.”

The line is always super quick. This is the best restaurant to be in this location….. ever! Suitable for all party sizes if you order to go. However, if you have more than 4 people, it can get crowded in there. Honestly, it’s so nice to get your food and walk down by the beach to enjoy it!”

“If you’re looking for a trendy twist on Korean cuisine, Chan Chan is a great spot to check out! They offer classic Korean dishes but with modern flavor updates and presentation that’s both delicious and affordable.
Instead of traditional paper menus, you’ll need to scan a QR code at the table or check out the clear, easy-to-read menu on the wall. They keep the options concise, making ordering a breeze.
What I ordered:
▶️ Spicy & Sweet Tuna Kimbap 참치 김밥 – $9.99
The tuna had a creamy texture, wrapped up in perfectly cooked rice and seaweed. The size of each roll was about 1.5 times bigger than your usual kimbap—definitely not a one-bite deal!
▶️ Fried Chicken Tenders 치킨 텐더스 (4-5 pieces) – $13.99
I chose the chicken tenders during their lunch special. These tenders were made with chicken breast, so I felt healthier and lighter. I paired them with sweet garlic sauce (스윗갈릿), which had a hint of mustard and a touch of sweetness—definitely a unique flavor that you won’t find at traditional Korean restaurants, but it was so good!
▶️ Rose Pasta 로제파스타 – $17.99
Rose pasta is super popular in Korea, and even available in convenience stores too! The sauce is a mix of red (tomato) and white (cream) sauces, often available as a pre-made mix at grocery stores (just look for “cream cheese rose sauce”). Every restaurant seems to have their own take on this dish.
In Korea, it’s usually slightly spicy, but although Chan Chan marked it as spicy, I didn’t really taste any. The portion was massive— enough for 2-3 people to share!
The plating here is on point, with thoughtful presentation that’s perfect for photos. Even the dishes and containers have a more modern, stylish vibe compared to typical Korean restaurants.
The banchan (side dishes) were lighter in flavor, with kimchi and pickled radish that weren’t too sour, making them more suited to international palates.
Oh, and a clean restroom is always a bonus for me (yes, I’m one of those people who always checked the bathroom cleanliness! ).
Chan Chan is definitely on my list for a return visit! They also have another location in Irvine.
If you’re craving traditional Korean food, you might have to head over to Garden Grove or a little bit north for more variety, but Chan Chan is a great option for something a little different in the Huntington Beach area.

The Double Chocolate flavor is for sure the best chocolate flavored Gelato in the whole state of California; not to mention it’s totally authentic too!

“Lane Stone delivered an unparalleled level of client service that surpassed all expectations. He consistently went above and beyond, dedicating his weekends to showing us houses and remaining patient as we took our time to make decisions. He even proactively contacted agents with homes in escrow to explore the possibility of submitting backup offers. Thanks to his unwavering commitment, we successfully closed on our house during a highly competitive market period. Lane made it his priority to ensure that we felt valued and received his undivided attention throughout the process. The Sackin-Stone team, including Lane, provided outstanding support, with other agents stepping in when needed. Our experience with the Sackin-Stone team was exceptional, and we intend to rely on them for all our real estate needs in Orange County. They have earned a client for life!”

While we were eating he came out and asked how we were doing and if we needed anything he would get it. Our waitress was amazing. Once my daughter ran out of water they asked to refill it.

“Came into The Brant last weekend and had the most wonderful time. Each dish is prepared so thoughtfully and bursting with flavor, I think I finished just about every bite. Portion sizes are lovely and on top of that the atmosphere is so lively, not to mention the stunning view of the beach. I have to give kudos to our server, Ali, she was so beyond sweet and very attentive. I will definitely be back, the grilled salmon and beet salad was divine and if you’re in the mood for the best old fashioned you’ve ever had in hb this is the place to go !”

Brewery • $$
“Cool venue with an excellent beer selection and some great food.
The jumbo pretzel is an absolute must, one of the best I've ever had! Even on its own it was delicious, but then pair it with the house made beer cheese, and it's hard to stop eating it!
The fried pickles were awesome, too, very lightly breaded thick chips with great flavor.
Bacon wrapped shrimp were slightly smoky, sticky, savory-sweet glazed. Very good overall.
Beer flight for the win with one of them being an experimental hop brew.”

Sushi • $$
“Super tasty, unpretentious, simple sushi. Came in for lunch, the waiter pointed out a special close to what I had wanted in case I didn't see the better deal. Had a beer in the coldest mug ever! Spicy tuna and a cali roll were served quick on the same plate. Veggie tempura was filling and good. Also had the rice and miso soup, all were good with no discrepancies. My only drawback is presentation, no wow or zaz in the serving. 10/10 would still come back for lunch or date. Fast and attentive service.”
Sandwich Shop • $$
“Plim is the best. The California on squaw was delicious and stacked with turkey, super fresh avocados, crisp lettuce, crunchy sprouts. Their ice tea is addictive. This small shop should be on your weekly rotation.”

“I have been a regular since Dec 2023. I love this place and everyone working there. Erika M is one of a kind customer service representative!!
We had dinner 2 days ago and she came to our table with a warm, welcoming and generous smile and courtesy ?
She explained everything on the menu thoroughly and even suggested to my friend a couple of Entrees which one of them was the Chilean Sea Bass which was amazing!!
Not only that but at the end she brought a complementary plate to the table and she said “this is on the house “. I definitely recommend this place for all you can eat or a la carte menus!!!”

Bar & Grill • $$
“Ordered New York & Shrimp to-go, white rice w/vegetables adding Miso soup. White rice was the best part, don't get me wrong the food was good just not worth $45.14. The Teriyaki sauce tasted like it was made by a white guy trying too hard to cook Japanese food.The vegetables were cooked perfectly! I became a bit spoiled for Japanese food in HB from eating at Matsu (Beach & Talbert) since 1978, but this was okay food, I really can't complain much. I am wondering why at 7:30PM on a Wednesday night the dining room was a ghost town?!?It was the best Japanese food I've had on Beach Blvd. in HB for a long time. Matsu has gone downhill since it changed ownership in the 90's, but I think I found my new favorite Japanese restaurant to eat at in HB.I think I was happy with my food overall, I'll give it a solid 7 out of 10. If the staff were a bit more friendly, I'd give you another point, let's see what happens the next time I visit this restaurant.Good job people. ?
Parking: This restaurant is located in the old HB Fire Station across the street from Taco Bell, plenty of parking but would be better if it had a little bit more lighting.”

“Stopped in for a beer and a lobster roll.
I was surprised at how large the building is once you get inside. Very nostalgic with VCRs playing movies from my childhood.
They have a couple beer options but a decent enough variety.
Food was alright.”

“Amazing breakfast burritos and tacos. The meat really is a cut above the rest and they have so many options. Easy to understand the menu. Amazing salsa bar (that’s how you know it’s good). The line is always super quick. This is the best restaurant to be in this location….. ever! Suitable for all party sizes if you order to go. However, if you have more than 4 people, it can get crowded in there. Honestly, it’s so nice to get your food and walk down by the beach to enjoy it!”

“😀This restaurant is awesome, the food tastes great, the ingredients are made fresh daily from scratch, and the menu is so rich with a lot of varieties you will love, especially the reasonably priced dishes. The service is top notch, and the chef, Mr Cotch is the best. The atmosphere is very pleasant and inviting, it's a great place to have events and parties, dine in, or call and order by phone. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys authentic middle eastern cuisine. Cheers.”

“I read good reviews so we thought would go and give a try. Well the family and I had fantastic meal. My husband had a goat fish and said was very flavorful and tasty. For the kids (8, 11)we got a mild Lamb Korma and Butter chicken. With these I confirmed that they would be mild enough for the kids. The butter chicken and lamb korma even though was ordered as mild (no spice at all to it) it had an absolutely amazing flavor to it- perfect for kids. Now I have had a lot of butter chicken and hands down this was the best I have ever had. The chicken fried rice we ordered was very tasty as well. Highlight for my husband was the beer from India. He said it was very nice and complimented the food nicely.”
