“had the ahi tuna salad. it was awesome.“

“Cassel Earth feels like a hole in the wall coffee shop. Customers service was excellent, baristas were so warm, welcoming, and kind. Most importantly, the coffee was delicious. I tried one of their “Regulars’” lattes- “Michael’s”. Espresso was excellent quality and the pistachio/vanilla flavor was a yummy match. 10/10 would recommend.“

“I recently tried Show Hotpot and was blown away by the quality of their broth!
The MalaTang here is genuinely the best I’ve had, it’s so rich and flavorful that, for the first time, I finished the entire bowl.
The atmosphere and service were also great, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.
Highly recommend Show Hotpot for any hotpot lover, especially if you’re a fan of MalaTang!“

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“Always like coming here for a quick, fresh lunch while I’m working on UCI campus. I especially like the salads - falafel on a Mediterranean salad is delicious. Very friendly staff!“

“Went with my parents for an early Christmas dinner and service was great… food was delicious… and atmosphere was on point!“

“The quality of the food is similar to a steakhouse with quarter of the price. They grill everything fresh as you ordered it. It’s absolutely delicious! We ordered Steak and shrimp plates. The even ask you how would you like your steak cooked. The tender steak and the grilled shrimps we got was the best that I’ve ever had. Nice and clean restaurant with a big heated patio that they could be used for private events. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.“

“Great healthy food! Service was great.“

“Best comfort food ever! The thing I miss about living in California the most is the spaghetti grilled cheese at Burnt Crumbs. It will change your life. I would order three at a time and eat half a sandwich each day for lunch. If you guys wanna franchise in Detroit let me know lol 💯 💯 🔥 🔥“

“Ever After Tea Room really impressed us! We tried the beef noodle soup, Thai Basil fried rice, rib eye, and salmon entrées, and each dish was absolutely delicious. The broth in the noodle soup was rich and comforting, the fried rice had bold flavors, and the entrées were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned.

We also treated ourselves to the matcha red bean bingsoo with taro, and wow — it was so light, fluffy, and not too sweet. Exactly what we were craving! The real taro drink was another standout — made with actual taro chunks and red beans. It tasted so fresh and creamy, nothing artificial at all.

The staff was kind and attentive, and the decor is super cute and cozy. It’s also a great study spot with plenty of outlets and comfy seating. Definitely a new favorite for both food and vibes!“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This restaurant is an absolute hidden gem and has instantly become my favorite restaurant in the world. Not only is it dedicated gluten free (a dream come true for me), but the food is so incredible you would never guess it’s gluten free.

From the first bite of the freshly baked croissant, I was in disbelief—it’s soft, flaky, and buttery, just like a Parisian bakery, only gluten free! The Popover Carousel came out golden and airy, topped with house-made jam and honey butter—heavenly. The Brisket Benedict with perfectly poached eggs and roasted veggies was rich and comforting, while the Steak Frites rivaled any fine bistro with tender hanger steak, chimichurri, and crispy fries. Every dish was beyond delicious.

What makes this place even more special are the owners, Laura and Michael. Their warmth and passion shine through everything—from the service to the thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Laura has spent 7 years perfecting her own gluten free flour blend and dough (which you can even buy to take home). Her breads, pizza dough, and pastries rise and bake just like traditional gluten dough—soft, crusty, and flavorful. She’s a true genius.

We went for brunch, but I cannot wait to come back for dinner. I’ll be dreaming of this place until my next visit. Run, don’t walk—you need to experience this!“

“Best Indian restaurant for delicious Indian food in Orange County.“

“This place has such consistently good food. they don’t have interior seating, but they do have some outdoor seats. Typically I just come here for food pick ups. The panko chicken is my favorite. Something about their rice flavoring makes it so much better as well. Overall it’s a solid place for a healthy great tasting meal.“

“its new so this is first time. love my tea. going back to try the other things“

“I love this place! The coffee and matcha are amazing — rich, smooth, and beautifully made. The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is cozy yet modern. The staff is super friendly, and it's the perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends.“

“amazing place and best halim i had since iran. amazing kabob and jooje kabob. even breakfasts. definitly recomment. im so glad they opened. also the prices are very reasonable“

“Delicious fish and chips made fresh per order. I ordered the original fish and chips which came with 2 large pieces of cod fish with crispy hot beer batter that came with seasoned fries. They are not stingy with their portions and got really full with this order. The people working there are so friendly; excellent service! $15 for my order; worth it for the portion and deliciousness!“

“Very good ice cream. Lots of flavors to choose from“

“Husband and I went there last night during Haunt Hopping in Santa Ana -- and WOW!! Absolutely delicious, filling burgers and crispiest, hottest fries! Very friendly service. Hoping they open some locations near us, but until then, we'll make special trips -- they're that good!“

“Alright, Cava, you’ve done it again. I’m trying to watch what I eat, and you’re over here making it impossible with your ridiculously good food. Seriously, every single time I come here, I end up getting more than I planned because it all just looks and tastes too amazing to resist. The customizable bowls are my downfall – so fresh and flavorful!

And don’t even get me started on the staff. Always so friendly and helpful, even when there’s a huge line. They make the whole experience even better, which is dangerous for my diet. I swear, they must be trained to tempt people into ordering extra toppings.

Since it’s the closest location to me, Cava has become my go-to spot, which is both a blessing and a curse. My taste buds are happy, but my wallet and waistline? Not so much. I just wish they weren’t so good at what they do!“

“Delicious sandwiches, amazing breakfasts, and the best glazed bacon you'll ever taste! Excellent service, and relaxed vibe! This place is a hidden gem!“

“It was my first time here, and I found this place while searching for a restaurant nearby. I was curious, so I decided to check it out. I was amazed by the delicious food and professional service. I especially loved the vibe of the place; it was really great! Definitely worth the visit!“

“Junbi recently provided some amazing drinks at a conference in Irvine! They were super easy to work with--flexible, communicative, and enthusiastic. They helped me pick the perfect mix of flavors for our group. The team was early for setup, something I can deeply appreciate as an Event Coordinator. Needless to say, their drinks got cleared out! I look forward to working with them again soon!“

“I give 5 stars for this restaurant from the Deliamar shop with support and respect Great food and great service.“

“Went to Cozy Pine for date night and we enjoyed it. Really feels like you are in a different place, inside a restaurant. Decor, cocktails and food were all great. Definitively worth stopping in.
Food is mostly “snacky” compared to Bacchus outside. We did not have a reservation and we’re still able to get seated, likely because we arrived early in the evening.“

“Stopped here before my gfs departing flight and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was wonderful, the drinks were stiff and reasonably priced, and our bartender (Tucker) was the kindest and most efficient bartender I’ve ever had in my life. From now on, this place will be a mandatory go-to before flying out of SNA.“

“I tried Bao Chick and their grilled bao with beef was fantastic.
The beef was juicy and flavorful, and the bao was perfectly soft and fluffy.
I loved the combination of textures and the slightly smoky grill flavor.
Overall, it’s a fun spot with tasty food and a casual, welcoming vibe.“

“Very reasonable price and delicious“

“This was such a cute place for desserts and I’ve never had anything like this. Usually places like this they put fruit in it and there’s never other options that I like. But this one was calling my name, Milk tea bowl with Oreo. It was so yummy and refreshing and would definitely get it again. Even came in a cute bucket which I reuse!“

“Amazing sandwiches! Quick and delicious!“

“Best Ramen spot I've ever been to. Love the thin soft noodles and broth is delicious!!! This is one of our top weekly spots especially with this cold weather, absolutely perfect!!“

“best maple bars anywhere! try the one with bacon😋“

“Great servers! Good food!“

“We are locals, and sometimes even walk over with the dog to sit outside and enjoy the outdoor tables, and the delicious sandwiches. They do a great job and always offer great service!“

“I no longer go to LA Fitness, but I still come back for the smoothies; they’re so good and never bother my sensitive tummy! Great flavors and consistency, the folks who work there are super friendly, solid plant-based options, and the ability to modify to my needs with extra protein, fiber, etc. is a big win.

My favorite low-fat, high protein-to-calorie ratio choice is the M/L Berry Sunrise with an extra scoop of plant protein (and fiber if I want a more shake-like consistency). It’s 40g+ protein, ~550cal, and <10g fat. Comes out to ~$15 with tip.

I also love the Peanut Butter Gone Bananas, but it’s a proper meal replacement and closer to 1,000 calories. Probably explains why it’s so delicious :)

Only downside can be parking during peak gym hours, but it’s worth it.“

“The food is the best thing that happened to Irvine. It is fresh, crisp, clean eating. Thank you and keep it up!“

“Great food and easy going vibe“

“Very Good Donuts!! Fresh Made“

“Always delicious and even at lunch you can order the dinner special (if you pay more of course). Unlike others where you have to wait until a certain time…! 😊

My fav shabu shabu place which says a lot. Stackers are included in both lunch and dinner options and always delicious 😋“

“I have been eating here since 2002 while still in high school. First time ever eating Pho here. These 3 Viet guys from my classes introduced me to Pho at this place. Been going here whenever I’m craving Pho or Viet food in the Irvine area. The most flavorful Pho broth out of any Viet restaurant I’ve ever ate in California.“

“Love the service and the food here. Their Arroz con pollo, and flan are to die for. As are other items on the menu. Even their bread and butter they serve just crazy delicious.“

“I really could eat first class pizza everyday! I always ordered the extra large sampler Pizza so that I can get four different taste in one meal! I always like to try the pizza of the month!“

“This is my first time here, and I’m pleasantly surprised by how good their matcha pandan is! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends for breakfast or lunch. I really love the design of the outdoor seating area; it feels very comfortable and relaxing. Plus, parking is easy to find.“
