“Just had dinner and the food was amazing. I had the lobster and it was delicious. Manuel offered to help me get all the meat out of the claws. Lol. Thank you Manuel! Andrew Grule you have a winner! Love seeing you on Gutfield!!!”
“Their food was soooo good! Staff were down to earth people, funny, and relatable. They made sure you were well taken care of. Great selection of wines to choose from. Also, if you don't know what to choose because everything on the menu sounds good. The waiters will gladly recommend food to your personal liking. 5 out 5 service!”
“We have been coming to Mona Lisa for 10 years. The quality is unmatched and the service is impeccable. We now live in Thousand Oaks and whenever we are in the area we make a point to stop at Mona Lisa. We always leave happy. Cannot recommend enough.”
“I visited this sushi place for the first time, after eating at another not pleasant sushi place.
The sushi rolls were tasty and fresh.
Service was outstanding with special thanks to Emanuel, who made our visit more enjoyable.
Definitely I will recommend to visit this place in Huntington Beach, CA.”

“Good food and drinks! Reasonable prices. Great service!!”
“Came here after a day at the beach. Family size was 2 adults 1 child (child not a picky eater). We’re not locals but from the IE and we try a new place every time we’re in town.
Hands down love everything about this place from the food, service to the atmosphere. My only complaint would be to add some sort of seafood dish for the kids menu (grilled shrimp or a grilled piece of fish) not all kids are picky eaters mine especially loves lobster, shrimp, octopus, and clams.
Can’t wait to come back”
“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.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“By far the best coffee in Huntington Beach and maybe best cafe in Orange County. So friendly and the food it delicious.”
“The hospitality was soooo good. The owner was so kind and caring. The food was perfect. They're open till midnight.
They modified the sweet pie with our requested sugar level and EVERYTHING was perfect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Dietary restrictions: Their food is halal.”
“Wow - for all the serious Pho heads out there... This is a seriously legit Pho joint in Orange County. We went here as part of our Pho Crawl throughout OC and tasted the followings - Pho 79, Pho Nic (2nd place), Pho RedBo, Pho Kuroushi and Pho Lab. This one won hand down. The place is clean, modern and wonderful wait staff... But we are here for PHO, so here is the review... First, the broth - superb - rich but very balanced. Meat cuts - plenty and wonderfully tender. Noodles - on point - right amount of chewiness and held up well even after 15 minutes. Condiments were served on cute, little individual plate and one really cool thing - the scallions were shredded in long strands (vs. simply chopped)... The price point is really great - better quality than either of the Wagyu's beef joint (about 7-8 bucks less). Run here!”
“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.”
“Just had dinner and the food was amazing. I had the lobster and it was delicious. Manuel offered to help me get all the meat out of the claws. Lol. Thank you Manuel! Andrew Grule you have a winner! Love seeing you on Gutfield!!!”
“Food delicious. Service slow depending on how you like your service. I think they were what I wanted but they reminded me more of how a lot of European servers are. Basically they take your order at the top and leave you alone unless you want them to come to you for something.
They didn't never check in but they weren't that stereotypical check on you every 5 minutes and give you constant refills and chit chat type of service you would find at a Red Robin or other American chain.
I prefer this kind of server personally but to each their own.”
“Found it walking on Main St and we got the beat greeting and service. We got strawberry matches and an amazing açaí bowl, SOOO DELICIOUS! The kindness and generosity was amazing from Leo!”
“Enjoyed our evening birthday party and the food was wonderful❤️ Thank you❤️”
“Amazing food and customer service!! Everything is always fresh and delicious.”
“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 visited this sushi place for the first time, after eating at another not pleasant sushi place.

Definitely I will recommend to visit this place in Huntington Beach, CA.”
“Beautiful view, elegant and elegant restaurant, delicious food”
“Very friendly and smiling service , great attention to detail , clean establishment , fushion restaurants can be a challenge to pull off , but this one seems to roll the charm of HB into a German Mediterranean experience that is fun. .”
“Hands down the best local burger shop in town. The food is delicious and the prices can not be beat. GiGi is almost always working the front, and she always puts a smile on my face with a friendly attitude and excellent customer service. I hope this place never changes because it's a rare treat in a saturated food market.”
“We have been coming to Mona Lisa for 10 years. The quality is unmatched and the service is impeccable. We now live in Thousand Oaks and whenever we are in the area we make a point to stop at Mona Lisa. We always leave happy. Cannot recommend enough.”

I will come back for the tri tip burger, bowls and agua frescas!”
“I have been coming here for 10 years. They treat me like a queen and it is the biggest best fish taco I’ve ever had. I love these people and the owner. I eat here once a week. look at the size of that piece of fish in that taco and they know me well because I don’t get cabbage on my tacos just extra sauce”
“5 Star Experience!!!!! Great food and great Customer Service !”

“Reasonable prices, excellent food & very friendly, give them a try”
“This was my first time ordering food from DVine and will most definitely be back. I called to place an order and the gentleman on the phone answered all my questions and took the order with patience. He knew all the details of the dishes, ingredients, and preparation. My order was ready precisely on time and was fresh and still hot. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. I ordered two regular sized meals, but it was enough for at least 3 or 4 people. Even though I don't live nearby, it would be worth the drive to come back.”
“Good foo, nice people and the food was made quickly even though they were busy AF.”

Try it .”
“It is the best Thai street food in Town. The best Sevice, Friendly Stuff and best Chef. I ordered Crab fried rice, Ku Moo Yang, and crispy belly Kra pow, Banana Grandma, Meatloaf salad. And Mango sticky Rice. They were good like the name of the restaurant! Say Yum! I recommend!!”

“Alas, a local place with unique charm, expert staff and a creative menu. We will be back often.”
“Our family group of 11 had a remarkable experience at Jolie’s Saturday evening. Personable and patient, Alvaro was our incredible server whose service was exceptional. 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!”
“The food and drinks are always fabulous but the service is honestly what keeps me coming back. Literally the best service I’ve had at any restaurant and I go to a lot of high end restaurants. The best part they always remember me but, honestly I think it’s because my very large brown and white standArd poodle who actually sits in the both with me. Either way I love the waitresses there all so sweet and friendly and, I really enjoy the food and drinks. It’s my Tuesday night go to.”
“Very good food and the staff was very kind & attentive. We will be back to try the octopus!”
“Been coming here for over 15 years. Great selection of dishes prepared with consistent flavors and fast service. Never had a bad meal in anything I've tried, although the curry could be kicked up a notch. Staff is attentive and friendly. Prices are very reasonable to portions served. Hard to beat the lunch deals too! Their hot & sour soup is the best around. Often have the large bowl with a side of brown rice as a lunch meal.
Vegetarian options: Several dishes on the dinner menu that are vegetable based and you can request a protein, including tofu, of your liking.”
“The wine selection, cocktails, food, and atmosphere at this establishment are all great! Highly recommend! Definitely a new hotspot to enjoy the Huntington Beach area right next to the beach and lively downtown.”
“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.”
“Beautiful, beautiful place....delicious food, and great service. But the atmosphere made everything magical. If you're looking for a romantic, beautiful place, this is it! The Italian music it's a personal preference of mine, but it was fantastic !”
“A phenomenal dining experience! Being fairly new to Shabu / Hot Pot going in seemed very intimidating especially after looking at the menu. But once our server Jimmy came over he took care of everything. He perfectly was able to guide us to making the correct choices for ourselves, and was an absolutely blast to be served by!! The broth was truly the star of the show at dinner.
They had an amazing balance of flavors and Jimmy even helped us season our broths and our meats for us! I rarely remember my servers name, but I'll always remember the experience here being served by Jimmy.
It is fairly cost efficient factoring in the quality and has reasonably priced alcohol. I was SHOCKED how empty the location was on a Saturday night around 7PM. This may be attributed to the fact the the parking comes up quick and seems limited if it was truly busy.
Summary: An amazing experience worth trying! Put your faith in the server if you are intimidated and you won't be disappointed. Ask for Jimmy!”
“Wonderful birthday dinner here with our good friends. The best wedge salad I have ever had and I order it at every restaurant. The short ribs melt in your mouth. And a surprise birthday cake and card from the staff. The small cake was a masterpiece. I would enclose a photo but can’t figure out how to do it. Oh did I mention the strawberry lime spread for the homemade focaccia bread. The service was superb and the atmosphere was amazing.”
“Fast and incredibly nice service! Outstanding pizza! Cooked perfect every time !! I don’t know if it’s the type of cheese or what, but this pizza is fantastic! 5 stars all the way!!!!”
“Had a very good short rib dinner. Wine was very good. Servers excellent.”
“Top notch service and fabulous food Look forward to returning soon!”
“Alas, a local place with unique charm, expert staff and a creative menu. We will be back often.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“I love Denny's. One of my favorite things about diners in general are how good the service can potentially be, with Fermin at this location in California, you can't go wrong. Chill, quick, knowledgeable and fun to be engaged by, he makes the food taste better. But the cooks kill it too. The coffee... Highly recommend.”
“When we walked in the restaurant you got a strong wiff of bleach. So you couldn't smell any food. It was REALLY, REALLY clean, like too clean that it made you think, "what are you hiding?"The service was quick for a to go order. The food was good over all. The young lady taking our order was very nice and patient while we looked over the menu. Overall very ?. They are open 24hrs which is a plus.”
“Usually this location is my favorite Del Taco but this time they really messed up my classic secret menu item of a bun taco. Instead I got a cheeseburger patty with lettuce and some sort of red sauce with ketchup! It tasted fine but it was definitely not a bun taco ? must have a new cook. I'll try again another day and see what I get. Love Del Taco!”
“I encountered a friendly, knowledgeable, and patient staff the few times I've been there!
That, more than the great food, keeps me going back! I'm not difficult, but I have questions... They always help me out and make suggestions... good help is hard to find... They keep me hopeful that the world still has friendly, competent”
“It's Del Taco so you should know what you're getting into by coming here already, but this one is far superior to the beach location in terms of service and speed. Beach was backed up with 10 cars at 11:30 on a Sunday, popped over here and there were two. A god sent in this sitch.”
“We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The server was kind and very helpful. We each ordered the 5 roll set and the fried scallops. Our favorite roll was the eel, and the fried scallops were also delicious. We highly recommend the 5 roll set; it's a great value.”
“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 bandit burrito was beyond excellent, all the flavors mix to a taste sensation, I am picky and not a big breakfast burrito person yet it was SO good, the very berry French toast was decadent as delicious, also I am not a sweet breakfast fan yet SERIOUSLY delicious, cocktails great, Jamaica was excellent, service impeccable, LOVE this place!”
“Their food was soooo good! Staff were down to earth people, funny, and relatable. They made sure you were well taken care of. Great selection of wines to choose from. Also, if you don't know what to choose because everything on the menu sounds good. The waiters will gladly recommend food to your personal liking. 5 out 5 service!”
“SO good! Highly recommend the ground beef hawawshy & bbq chicken american savory. We devoured ours.”
“I decided to stop in one day to try this place out, immediately fell in love with their coffee,
been buying their beans for my hand drip and when there’s no time to drip my own I just buy drinks here, awesome!”
“Came here after a day at the beach. Family size was 2 adults 1 child (child not a picky eater). We’re not locals but from the IE and we try a new place every time we’re in town.

“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.”
“Self select poké is an interesting experience to say the least. In the past it has been select menus, choose a combo we have, and do you want masago and sesame seeds on top. Not so here, build your own style. You want chili oil and ponzu because that’s your roll, then it’s what you get. I’ve never experienced poké like this before, and now I only want poke with the individual touch. The staff was kind as well.
Parking: The spots directly in front are 20 minute, other parking wasn’t an issue on a Monday at 7pm.”
“Love the food here. Their Fried chicken is really good. Owner is very nice a well.”
“Love this coffee shop! Friendly staff and amazing baked goods. They have an excellent coffee menu too.”
“This one specializes in Bahn Mi and I was very happy with it.
Got side salad and side spinach soup. Perfect portions for dinner.
Would happily come back”
“I have consistently had positive experiences at this place, making it my go-to spot for protein shakes whenever I'm in the area. The husband and wife team (I didn't know this info until I followed their Instagram), who run the place, are incredibly welcoming and always available to answer any questions I have about add-ons and flavors. My personal favorite is the S'mores shake, to which I add flavorless fiber and probiotics to aid my unpredictable digestive system. Moreover, the prices are very reasonable! The interior has limited seating since it is mainly for to-go. There's ample parking outside.”
“the server was so attentive and polite.
there was a big group that came in just before us and the server apologized a
few times for the delay. we didn't mind it but he was so attentive.
food was great and they honored happy hour prices for all the menu. it was reasonably priced and made the whole dining experience pleasant.”
“Cool decor! Built by owner! Must visit! Have your espresso here!”
“I have been coming here for a long time. I have tried a few different dishes & every one was wonderful. But I moved to Anaheim a year ago. So I don't get to come here as often. But when I do I always get the Moo Shoo Pork with extra pancakes. The staff is ALWAYS happy to see me. They are so friendly. It's a great place for take out or a great place to bring the family along Either way you won't be disappointed.i highly recommend if you are in the area to go there?”
“Recently had a favorite restaurant for malai kofta in another state and am happy to say theirs tops it!!! Malai kofta medium spice is perfect spice level not to ruin the creaminess but still give aromatic kick. Go mild if you need to. Authentic homemade style. Must come back to try more of the menu. Excellent attentive friendly service.”
“very good food. a must if you are in the area”
“This is the best Mexican restaurant in Huntington Beach. The Carnitas is better than I have ever had. Spectacular service.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Best sandwiches in Huntington Beach and surrounding areas! Guys behind counter are exceptional! Made me a custom Cuban and of course delicious! Not in the area often but when I am I always come to visit!!! TYTYTY”
“The young man at the register was sweet and helpful and answered our questions both about food ingredients and pro and also about the surrounding area and things to do. The restaurant itself was the cleanest fast food place I’ve ever been in including the restrooms! Our food was hot and fresh. The buns were soft and tasty and did not fall apart, the burger had a delicious charbroiled taste and aroma. I ordered the hash rounds which crispy and hot just the way I like them. The soda from the self serve fountain was just perfect. I would definitely come here again!”
“Amazing customer service. They made us fell special, welcomed and loved!”
“It Was my very first time at this location. Best decisión I could make. Restaurant Was super clean and relaxing. I Was really surprised they brouth my food to my table. Thank you for that. Food Was good. Hope to see you soon”
“Ashley the cashier was awesome explaining the menu and options, food was a three due barely any meat in my daughters carnita burrito just a lot of rice and beans. My wife and had protein bowls with fish and it was 4 stars”
“Always friendly. Nice assortment of breakfast and lunch dishes on our way to or from the beach.
Wheelchair accessibility: flat all the way through.”
“Good food and staff are so kind! Definitely made my experience here from out of town great. Special shoutout to Jacklyn and Andrew with such positive attitudes and attentiveness”
“To be perfectly honest it's been years since I've been here and the bagel actually had absolutely no flavor and it was an onion bagel I had it with egg and sausage and it was extremely bland I make it better at home without the sausage it has more flavor. And it almost tastes like the bagel is microwaved it was a bit chewy. It took a while I drove through probably 15 minutes maybe a bit longer.”
“Really amazing Hawaiian food, came on Saturday to get the huli huli chicken, as well as the DHK plate lunch. Both plate lunches came with 2 scoops of rice and 1 scoop of potato Mac salad. Everything was great! Ate at one of the park-style tables outside, could hear the Hawaiian music from inside. 10/10 will be back!”
“The drinks here taste so much better than the one near my house. Even my son said that when he tasted his drink. You really can't mess up an iced coffee but now that I tasted an iced coffee from bolsa chica state beach starbucks, I think my neighborhood strabucks needs training from this place.”
“Indoor seating, good food, and pleasant staff. I wanted something different than the normal hamburger or fast food Mexican Food this time and saw this store along the way. I got the Chili cheesedog and the chili cheeseburger combo. hehe They gave a little to help children read through literacy project foundation It was a great visit!!!”
“Highly recommended Best service home style family restaurant”
“Quite honestly, it just doesn’t get any better than this… we LOVE this restaurant. Julia & Doug.”

Good white meat, chicken, fried cheese and thick tortilla. Delicious

“This is not only an amazing vegan dining experience...but Ana is by far 9ne of the sweetest and kind hostess/owners I have seen. Dining is a beautiful experience inside and out. Japanese curry has a very different flavor than traditional indian/thai curry dishes. I highly recommend any of the curry entrées.”
“Great vibe, playlist, and options on the menu for all things coffee. Best part? They don’t upcharge for oat or almond milk!! The only place I’ve ever been that doesn’t charge extra - amazing. Great flavors for coffee drinks too! Try the succulent latte ?”
“Lots of great taste in a sandwich & secret sauce is amazing!”

“Amazing food and quick service. I will be coming back for sure!!”
“Great ramen and sushi restaurant in a small strip mall. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is not big, but has a large table in the middle for a larger group and some smaller tables for groups of 2 to 6, and some bar seating. We were warmly greeted and could sit anywhere. We ordered two ramen soups, a truffle mushroom variety and a spicy beef version. With both, we chose them as a combo with gyoza and spicy tuna, respectively. The soups came quickly and looked and tasted amazing. They played country music, which was a bit unexpected. But still 5 stars for food and service. Overall, a place we have bookmarked for our next trip.”
“My family of 5 celebrated two birthdays today. We ordered take-out from Santa Maria BBQ. The food was delicious!”
“This place is phenomenal. It’s family owned and when you go there you are treated like family. Thank you so much Laura for making my birthday special ❤️”
“Not much of a dumpling guy, but the place was highly rated so we have it a try. The spicy wontons and the BBQ pork buns were very good. If you like dumplings, this is probably with a try.”
“great pizza choices, super ipa's and service.”
“Very good food and the staff was very kind & attentive. We will be back to try the octopus!”
“Off peak hours is the time to go to riip. Otherwise it's part Chuck E. Cheese with kids squeeling, crying and making everything sticky! The beer is great, the food, along with the service is good. Your entire order tends to come out all at once however, so keep that in mind when you order.”
“The wine selection, cocktails, food, and atmosphere at this establishment are all great! Highly recommend! Definitely a new hotspot to enjoy the Huntington Beach area right next to the beach and lively downtown.”
“I drive 2 hours on Saturday just to come to this amazing restaurant. The atmosphere is so elegant, the staff is wonderful and the food is exquisite . I can guarantee that the nasty comments are from commies. Please visit this amazing restaurant and decide for yourself.”
“I love the Salmon bowl! I’m attracted to the Kids eat free Mon-Thursday. I like the kids play area. It’s inside or outside. I will be back for many terrific reasons!”
“Beautiful, beautiful place....delicious food, and great service. But the atmosphere made everything magical. If you're looking for a romantic, beautiful place, this is it! The Italian music it's a personal preference of mine, but it was fantastic !”
“Amazing good and service! Love love: - Salt and pepper lobster, - Fish with black bean, - Cucumber salad, - Edamame with garlic sauce, - Shrimp with walnuts. The food goes really well with hot sake. Can’t wait to go back!”
“The food and drinks are always fabulous but the service is honestly what keeps me coming back. Literally the best service I’ve had at any restaurant and I go to a lot of high end restaurants. The best part they always remember me but, honestly I think it’s because my very large brown and white standArd poodle who actually sits in the both with me. Either way I love the waitresses there all so sweet and friendly and, I really enjoy the food and drinks. It’s my Tuesday night go to.”

“Great time but line is too long to get in during Oktoberfest. They should work with Costco across the street for parking”
“Had a work team lunch last week. We’re used to sacrificing food for a gorgeous ocean view… not at BLK… we got both. The food, drinks, service was superb. I had the best Chilean seabass anywhere-it was cooked to perfection -crispy outside/juicy inside (see pictures)!!! The Brussels sprouts were sooo good and the French fries looks and tastes like fresh made. The calamari was also very fresh tasting.
Their drink menu is almost as long as food menu.
Blake, aka master bartender and waiter and photographer ?, will make custom drinks, exactly to your liking.
Can’t thank Blake and the Chef there enough for making such a memorable time for all of us.
Everyone had a great time and we all want to come back.

“I found this sushi restaurant while I was walking down the streets of huntington beach, they serve a vast assortment of different types of sushi there, i ordered my food. They brought me some wasabi and ginger and my drink, then they brought me my sushi, and it was very delicious, i give sushi on fire a five star rating for meeting my standards and delivering a delicious midday meal for me, i would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good sushi while they're at huntington beach.”
“Awesome food and friendly service! Every single item was mouthwatering. Can’t wait to try it again!

“I recently visited Surf City Ale House in Huntington Beach and had an amazing experience! The staff was exceptional, providing friendly and attentive service throughout my visit. The atmosphere was inviting, the food and drinks were delicious, and the overall experience was top-notch. I highly recommend Surf City Ale House for a fantastic dining experience in Huntington Beach. Five stars!”
“Was there for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Very tasty and just the right amount..and price, too!”
“Lovely place to get a late breakfast or lunch.
I had the garden eggs Benedict with a cappuccino and it was quite nice. I didn’t anticipate on it being a completely cold dish though. Maybe I just didn’t pay attention while ordering but I never had cold eggs Benedict before. And I don’t really get the plastic cutlery they provide. Staff is very nice!”
“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️”
“This place is amazing, really good atmosphere, great drinks and wonderful staff. We stayed in Huntington on vacation and came here every single night because we loved it so much. The staff are really knowledgeable and friendly especially Oscar who is a fantastic human! I couldn't recommend this place any higher.
If you are in Huntington you HAVE to visit, you will not regret it.”
“Excellent restaurant the wine was amazing in the ceviche so delish thank you we will be back”
“Great service, nice atmosphere and friendly servers”
“Very understated location, but the food was excellent, and the staff were super friendly and efficient. This is a Japanese style restaurant following the Benihana model, but the menu was more varied, and the prices were actually lower.”
“Great, Food, Drinks, Atmosphere and Entertainment! Friendly staff.”
“The only reason I’m giving it a 4-star rating and not a 5-star is because one of the meals we ordered (a burger) took forever to come out. Apparently they were slammed that night. But - the food was excellent (both the burger and the tuna tacos) and the manager did give us that burger for free to compensate for our long wait along with two cocktails on the house! Can’t complain ?”
“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.”

“We’re foodies of the first degree and recently dined at 25 Degrees for the first time. We ordered the salmon, which was the best we’ve ever had!

“We had our wedding reception here on 10/10 and everything from the planning to the day of was absolutely amazing. I would like to thank Melissa Duran and the two servers (can’t remember their names) who worked the party from the bottom of our hearts. We had so many guests tell us what a great time they had from food to service. Thank you Golden Road for making our day so special. We would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have a large gathering / celebration 🎉”

“I love this place!! There food is absolutely amazing, as is their customer service! Recommend the mushrooms for an appetizer and bread pudding for dessert!!”
“Wanna watch a game, the Olympics? You name it, they have a screen for it! The bartenders are friendly, the noise level isn't too loud, and it's just a fun place to be. Karaoke and Tacos on Tues & Trivia on Weds.”
“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.”
“Great live music, wonderful bartenders, low key atmosphere!!!”
“We enjoyed the reasonably priced sushi. I guess they're very diligent about cleanliness because my girlfriend did not care for the scent of the cleaning fluid when we entered the restaurant.
Parking: The restaurant is near the south end of a mini mall, with a CVS to the north and a gas station to the south. There is a large parking lot with plenty of availability.
Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level with movable chairs and tables.”
“The owners of this place are wonderful, it is a Japanese wife and Korean husband ran business. Although a lot has changed over the years since they have opened, the food and quality has always remained consistent, while the menu has expanded to other cuisines. My favs are the wings, all their sushis and tempura”
“Hands down the best chicken teriyaki plate. The cabbage with ramen side a great complement, as well as the macaroni salad. My whole family loves this place. It’s our go to anytime we drive through the OC. Also, don’t forget to start with the Mizubi rolls.”
“My sister in law and I were out for lunch around 2pm. She was craving for sushi but most sushi restaurants in Huntington Beach were closed for break except Niya Sushi stayed opened until 2:30pm so we quickly went in.
With limited time, we quickly scanned the lunch menu and went with these options:
- **A. NIYA LUNCH SPECIAL COMBO**: $22.95
- **C. SUSHI COMBOS**: $25.95
- **Seaweed Salad**: $4
The interior is simple and clean, with a straightforward menu—every dish comes with a picture, which is super helpful.
The ingredients were fresh, and the grilled scallops in the lunch special were delicious. Contrary to some reviews, I think the portions were pretty balanced and we didn’t experience the issue of too much rice or not enough topping.
The server was very attentive and he asked if we wanted to add anything else before their break.
As we were leaving, we noticed the freezer by the counter had macaroon ice cream sandwiches for $4 each. They looked pretty big and tasty but we were already planning to grab dessert elsewhere, so just left it to next visit.
This restaurant has been here for a while and its only five-minute drive from the Bolsa Chica Conservancy and also not too far from Huntington Beach. If you’re in the area and not sure what to eat, this spot is worth visiting.

“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!!!”

“Fun place- great food. We went for my husbands birthday. It was fun”

Their high tea offering is outstandingly unique and includes excellent choices of savoring food such as waygu cookies and waygu beef over bread. Located on Warner and Beach, they are an outstanding place to enjoy time with friends, family, parties, or meetings. Highly recommended 5/5”

“Wow - for all the serious Pho heads out there... This is a seriously legit Pho joint in Orange County. We went here as part of our Pho Crawl throughout OC and tasted the followings - Pho 79, Pho Nic (2nd place), Pho RedBo, Pho Kuroushi and Pho Lab. This one won hand down. The place is clean, modern and wonderful wait staff... But we are here for PHO, so here is the review... First, the broth - superb - rich but very balanced. Meat cuts - plenty and wonderfully tender. Noodles - on point - right amount of chewiness and held up well even after 15 minutes. Condiments were served on cute, little individual plate and one really cool thing - the scallions were shredded in long strands (vs. simply chopped)... The price point is really great - better quality than either of the Wagyu's beef joint (about 7-8 bucks less). Run here!”
“The bandit burrito was beyond excellent, all the flavors mix to a taste sensation, I am picky and not a big breakfast burrito person yet it was SO good, the very berry French toast was decadent as delicious, also I am not a sweet breakfast fan yet SERIOUSLY delicious, cocktails great, Jamaica was excellent, service impeccable, LOVE this place!”
“Beautiful view, elegant and elegant restaurant, delicious food”
“By far the best coffee in Huntington Beach and maybe best cafe in Orange County. So friendly and the food it delicious.”

They modified the sweet pie with our requested sugar level and EVERYTHING was perfect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Dietary restrictions: Their food is halal.”

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.”
“Legitimately the world's best chicken quesadilla .
Good white meat, chicken, fried cheese and thick tortilla. Delicious
Reliable and consistent every order”
“Good food and staff are so kind! Definitely made my experience here from out of town great. Special shoutout to Jacklyn and Andrew with such positive attitudes and attentiveness”
“Food delicious. Service slow depending on how you like your service. I think they were what I wanted but they reminded me more of how a lot of European servers are. Basically they take your order at the top and leave you alone unless you want them to come to you for something.
They didn't never check in but they weren't that stereotypical check on you every 5 minutes and give you constant refills and chit chat type of service you would find at a Red Robin or other American chain.
I prefer this kind of server personally but to each their own.”
“Food was delicious and came out quickly! Great servers!”
“so we were there Tuesday night and had employees friends and customers in a small gathering and needed space for 20 to 30 people... they set the cantina up for us and it was absolutely over the top... we ended with 24 people as many could not make it or got sick or tired from going to sema but this group and this facility was amazing... I did not ask for a price but wanted a buffet of fajitas and drinks and a couple tvs but what we got was so much more and the price could have been double as they took care of my group and let us stay for 4 or 5 hours and it was something I would recommend to anyone wanting a nice gathering and close to the airport helped when many had plane cancelled and came in late. thank you so much for the great place and party and service and I have recommended your place to several people at the show... I hope you get it repaired and fixed quick because I will come again and see the menu and restaraunt next time.... thank you is not enough but until next time that is what I will give. praying that your cantina is back to 100 percent quick.”
“5 Star Experience!!!!! Great food and great Customer Service !”

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free granola was available!”
“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.”
