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!“

“My wife & I have been eating at The Broken Yolk Cafe in Irvine for several years now and we absolutely love the delicious food and the wonderful service, particularly via our regular server Alicia. She has such a positive attitude and shares our love of dogs. She always makes sure to bring our dog Maizie a bowl of water and a pup cup whenever we go there. I cannot recommend this Broken Yolk location and Alicia enough.“

“My friends and I went on Friday, July 10, at around 8-9. We were greeted with the most nicest and gorgeous hostess; after checking us in she complimented us and called us beautiful. So nice!!!! She was a dark-skinned woman with curly hair. Our server was also nice, the food was just okay. When we were leaving, I asked her for some mint chocolate, and she was so helpful and gave us some. She was absolutely wonderful!! The absolute best!!!“

“Very Good Donuts!! Fresh Made“

“Even the setup is easy. I liked being able to pick my own ingredients and broth without it turning into a whole thing, and the bowl still came out balanced and full. The bone broth had a distinct flavor that held up the whole way through, rich but not tiring, and the add ins felt fresh with plenty to choose from. Taste was good, which stood out right away. Service was friendly too, just helpful when needed and otherwise low key. A simple meal, done with care“

“Takayuki Dessert offers a refreshing and modern dessert experience that pairs perfectly with a meal next door at BCD Tofu House. The shop focuses on clean flavors, soft textures, and visually appealing presentations that feel both comforting and elevated. The desserts strike a balance between sweetness and lightness, making them enjoyable without feeling heavy. Service is friendly and efficient, and the environment stays calm even during peak dessert hours. The menu offers enough variety to satisfy both classic and adventurous dessert preferences.

The space is clean, bright, and easy to relax in, making it a pleasant stop for a quick treat or a slow, casual dessert break. Parking becomes easier later in the evening, which aligns well with dessert timing. The ingredients taste fresh, and the portion sizes feel fair for the price. The shop’s atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the desserts consistently deliver on flavor and presentation. Takayuki stands out as a reliable, high‑quality dessert spot that enhances the dining experience in the plaza and leaves a memorable final impression.“

“Definitely a place you want to stop at! We are their chicken sandwich, chicken tenders and chicken grill boo. All were excellent. The portions were large as well. We have 5 kids and they all loved it too. The man at the front counter was so kind and helpful. When he said they have the number one chicken in Orange County, he was telling the truth!“

“Our meal was delicious and the service was amazing“

“Great food and easy going vibe“

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

“The Best in OC . Great music. Great food.“

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

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

“Local and delicious. The staff are friendly, food is hot and fast. The place has refillable soda, free tortilla chips and wifi. This neighborhood favorite serves Great Park, Lake Forest and local business with delicious Mexican food. Jasmine was very patient with my numerous questions and helped me craft my perfect breakfast burrito. A Mexicano Burrito with Shredded Chicken and added avocado. I love places like these because it isn't somebody just heating up sysco food in the back. It's an actual cook and usually a family who can make food using the ingredients available to them. So as long as you're willing to pay and to talk, just about anything is possible.“

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

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

“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.“

“I got their Tuna Salad sandwich and enjoyed it. It was filling for lunch. Parked in the parking garage - the parking ticket was validated upon request. Small menu. I saw past photos posted by other users on Google & Yelp showing a matcha drink, but when I inquired about it, they were not serving it. I did not see many salad options. I would not come back anytime soon because its not a convenient location and hours are also limited.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“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!“

“Best Pokee in the Irvine location. I highly recommend this place.“

“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!!“
