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

“The Terrace at Rancho San Joaquin is a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious meal in a beautiful and relaxing setting. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, while the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. The peaceful atmosphere and scenic golf course views made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience. Definitely a 5-star visit!“

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. I also really liked the atmosphere, it felt modern, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed.

The hidden speakeasy concept is such a fun and unique touch. It makes the experience feel much more memorable than just going out for dinner.

It also seems like it may be Asian-owned, and I’d love to see more businesses like this. Great food, creative ideas, and excellent execution. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!“

“My wife and I love this place! It's tucked into a corner of the strip mall and attached to a number of food options. It's windows are usually open so it's a great stop on a nice afternoon. Omar is an upbeat, fun bartender with creative drink ideas and a joy to hang with. Good music, nice vibes and a cherished secret in a sea of corporate offices.“

“You know a Korean barbecue place is good when they cook everything for you, and this place does just that. The staff are so efficient and friendly, preparing the meat right in front of you just the way you like and letting you know when you can dig in. All of the side dishes are wonderful too. The Kalbi experiences are the way to go, giving you everything you need for a complete and satisfying meal. The quality of the meat is evident and this is the first place I have been to that switches the type of grill for different meats. Excellent attention to detail. Very clean and well organized interior as well.“

“The restaurant also has complimentary bread 🥖 with olive oil.“

“Great food, highly recommend the fried chicken. Servers are fantastic.“

“The hotel is clean and hygienic. Quiet on vacation. Like🥰🥰“

“This is my favorite sushi spot (along with sugarfish) to get fresh handrolls made right in front of you with warm rice and cold sushi. If you never had it like that the texture and differences in temperature are mind blowing good, then wash it down with a coconut ube beer and you are in heaven. The inside is small and counter seating only so come quickly and don't forget to add your name to the waitlist.“

“Great Food and atmosphere! Mosic was our server and he was awesome. Asked what we were into for both food and cocktails and his recommendations were spot on. The Panama Prescription was divine and I loved the shrimp and grits. My husband had the 12 hour short rib and I can’t tell you which was better. We will be back with friends!“

“Delicious food friendly staff best pizza and affogato I have ever had. Looking forward to the opening of the Ocean Ranch Restaurant!“

“Many thanks to Brandy who made YKN an inviting place to be. I enjoyed the cocktails. Please try the guava chiffon pancake cocktail ❤. Delicious! I had the poke nachos, but please request that the wontons are warmed first. It really brings the cold poke, warm wontons, and the remainder of flavors beautifully together. I most certainly will visiting YNK upon my return to The Irvine Marriott.“

“There were so many items on the menu I wanted to try, but I'd have to settle for coming back because my order of ComboB exceeded all expectations!
DIY rice balls (warm rice) 5* perfectly refreshing flavors.
Cheese buldak 5* cheese and chicken? Genius!
Fried chicken + Fries 5* juicy boneless chicken w perfect seasoned batter. Fried just right!
Clam soup 5* warning, can be spicy. Don't let th clear broth fool u!

Service was 5* we chose to sit outdoors cuz we brought our dog, and they set up a table on their patio for us (w a fan, cuz hot outside! That's service!)

Highly recommended. I didn't have any alcohol, but it would go great with food. They offer soju bombs w a beer tower.. how fun is that!!!

Can't recommend enough. Will be back to try other dishes.“

“Had a most excellent Italian cappuccino with macadamia nut milk. Espresso was so smooth - just perfect. Thanks for the ❤️ you put into your shop.“

“Pretty cool restaurant to chill at and catch the sunset. Food prices are inflated, obvious you are paying more for the venue and the view, not the quality of the food. Had the cinnamon roll skillet and it was okay, nothing special but the good service and atmosphere made up for this. Wouldn’t mind coming back in the future.“

“I ordered the Baja fish tacos and the Watermelon Margarita. The tacos were amazing and the Watermelon Margarita was one of the best I have ever had! 😎“

“Amazing service and food was great!!“

“We went to Habana for dinner when we went to OC to visit family. The place was beautiful and ambience classy. The food and drinks were wonderful! My favorite was the pepper shrimp dish. Absolutely awesome! Also, try the flan — you wouldn’t want to share it even if you were so full from your entree already.“

“Great experience with excellent food! Always good!“

“Nice place with friendly staff, large bar is you don’t want to be seated.. Order came up fast..“
