“My first time going, also on a Saturday night and the place was busy, lively, and had a great vibe! Food was great, service was a bit backed up but it was a weekend so completely understandable. Friendly staff, drinks were good and the music was upbeat! All great things I expected from this place and every box was checked marked! Will definitely throw this into an outing routine for the weekends!“

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Marco at Urban Plates, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Marco was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience truly enjoyable. He took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and ensured our food was prepared just right. His positive attitude and attention to detail made us feel welcomed and valued as customers. Urban Plates is lucky to have someone like Marco, who clearly takes pride in his work. We will definitely be back, thanks to his exceptional service! Highly 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!“

“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!“

“Food was awesome! Husband got a mushroom swiss burger and said it was amazing ... daughter had a side of Mac and Cheese which she loved and it wasn't a box kraft like some restaurants try to do. I had tomato soup and it was creamy and not to acidic! Yum!
Service was pretty none existent since u order on a machine and then go uo can get your own food after the buzzer and tables we were able to find pretty well on a Sunday afternoon.
Overall great experience“

“Delicious through and through! Some of the best I have had, and quite resonable on price. Service was busy, but very professional and eager to please. Great atmoshere. We were a bit underdressed, but no one seemed to notice. Will most definitely be back!“

“I love this place…!!! Been coming here for many years…!!! Never disappoints… tasting menu is a must try at least once… you may try it again and again and never get the same thing… but ALWAYS good…!!!“

“Really good love the place“

“A beautiful spot with authentic food and delicious flavor. My favorite were the Samsa triangles, filled with delicious meat. My wife loved the “big chicken plate”, the portion was amazing and went really well with the naan. My kid loved the skewers and naan.“

“01SEP2024 | Nice to Meet You Skewer Hot Pot is a chic hotpot restaurant. My first impression was that it was clean, with delicious food and attentive service. The prices are just right for the quality of the food and ingredients. I would give it a 10 out of 10, and we will definitely be coming back.“

“I always feel welcome at Luna Grill! The staff is incredibly accommodating, and Danielle, in particular, always goes above and beyond to help me and my family. She’s always cheerful, kind, and provides excellent service with a smile. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and delicious, making it one of our favorite places to eat. My family and I truly appreciate the warm hospitality and outstanding food. Highly recommend!“

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

“I love Miyagi Shabu!! had the half and half with ribeye and wagyu....so delicious! best of both worlds and the porridge they make at the end is the bomb!!“

“This Place is an exciting experience for fans of authentic Sichuan flavors. We chose the half-and-half hot pot base with spicy mala broth and a milder herbal soup. The spicy broth packs a punch with a complex blend of spices, while the herbal soup is a comforting balance. The ingredients, like the thinly sliced beef, shrimp, and vegetables, were fresh and flavorful.

What we ordered:

- Spicy mala broth - 5/5
- Herbal soup - 4/5
- Thinly sliced beef - 5/5
- Shrimp - 4/5
- Vegetables - 4/5
- Tofu - 4/5

Service was attentive, though it can get hectic during busy hours. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant can feel crowded and noisy, but it adds to the lively atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the quality and variety. If you love hot pot and can handle some spice, YinTang Spicy Hot Pot is worth a visit!“

“So delicious! Where else can you get vegan tikka masala, butter tofu, saag tofu.. tell me, I wanna know! So hard to find. So pleased they offer so many vegan options beyond the normal chana, dal, bhindi, aloo we usually get. I missed having a creamy, rich tikka! The tofu butter masala was my favorite (at least I think I was that one - the darker orange one). Closest to a tikka one might have had before going vegan. Absolutely loved it. Called and confirmed everything on the "Indian Vegan Cafe" menu is 100% vegan. I bet you can also just go to Southern Spice and sit down and order it. I'll have to try someday. I did pickup after placing a GrubHub order - be warned, it seemed to take longer than the non vegan orders, wasn't ready quite when the app said it was. Not really a "ghost kitchen"... really just Southern Spice's vegan menu but separated into a different name for ordering. TLDR - highly recommend, especially if you're craving more creamy (but vegan!) Indian curries! Updated from previous review on 2023-06-08“

“Came for my sister's 50 year anniversary, large party everything was great and fun for all.
They allowed her to decorate, since she's a professional designer and party planner.
If you're interested in hosting your special event I highly recommend them both !!❤❤“

“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!“

“Bagels are delicious. I always get the breakfast bagel sandwich with egg, bacon and cheddar on a toasted bagel. They cook the bagels the right way by boiling them first, and then baking them. Guys working behind the counter are super friendly and personable. I've come back many times because the sandwich and bagel is very delicious, and better than your standard bagel shop.“

“You guys were absolutely awesome today and I appreciate the safety protocol up in the restaurant due to Covid and the mask policy! I will definitely come back again! Fabulous food and service! ❤“

“Store manager, manager assistant and all their crew members very nice, friendly always greet 😀 you with smile on their face. Dining room, restrooms, fountain ⛲️ drinks and counter very clean. I ordered a Barbiecue chicken 🐔 combo at lunch time ⏲️ and I enjoyed it.“

“Great atmosphere and great service and good value.“

“it was amazing the cheeseburger and animal fries phenonemol 😋“

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

“I might as well own stock in this business with how frequently my wife and I return... The wraps are so huge my wife and I split one and it's still a ton of food.

It's 10/10 every time. Favorite place especially for the price.“

“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 💯 💯 🔥 🔥“

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

“Everything is great! Love the food, service & atmosphere! Strongly recommended good restaurants!🙏🥰“

“Simply delicious. The curry bowls are bowls full of yummy comfort and the paratha flatbread is perfection. I am officially obsessed with this hidden gem. The restaurant is family owed and it shows in the food. I love supporting the local family owed businesses, especially when they are this good.“

“Tried out for an early dinner on Friday while visiting Irvine on business. Appreciated curated selection of drinks (I went for my tried and true choice of wine, instead of those varieties of cocktails) and menu. Jessica, the server, was attentive, super friendly and great with menu recommendations. Had the arugula salad, filet, cooked to perfection, and coffee cake. Will be coming back with mom to enjoy next time. Highly recommend.“

“Good food and very friendly environment“

“Great healthy food! Service was great.“

“The place is incredibly clean and updated, with a modern vibe that makes dining there so comfortable.

Ordering is so easy—just scan the QR code at the table, browse the menu, and place your order right from your phone.

Food: The variety of dishes was impressive and authentic. We tried the Chengdu Dan Dan Noodles, stir-fried vegetables, garlic cucumber, fatty beef soup, and Japanese tofu egg. The stir-fried vegetables were perfectly seasoned, and the garlic cucumber added a refreshing crunch.

We ate the Japanese tofu egg with rice and stir-fried vegetables and it’s the bomb.

The service was attentive. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Sichuan flavors!“

“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!!“

“The BEST soft serve and such wonderful options. I tried the honeybee with honeycomb and it was fabulous. Will definitely be back to try their other flavors. I just wish the parking situation was better and that they opened before all the lunch rush so I could get in and out faster.“

“I often pass by this small shop and have thought countless times about trying the spicy beef noodles. Unfortunately, I always had to wait in line. Today at 1:30 PM, I found an available seat, so I happily sat down and ordered the spicy beef noodles I had been looking forward to, choosing the thick noodles. The first bite took me straight back to Yongkang Street in Taipei—absolutely wonderful!

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“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!“

“On Sunday evening, after my son finished his Taekwondo tournament in Tustin, I searched for nearby Ramen restaurants and drove my family to Yoshiharu Ramen.

To my surprise, only one server was attending to 80% of the customers. Since my kids were hungry, we decided not to spend time going to another restaurant. Therefore, we ordered the following items:

• Tonkatsu Black ($18.00)
• Tonkatsu Spicy Black ($18.50)
• Rib Eye Beef Bento ($20.00)

After waiting for 20 minutes, two bowls of Ramen arrived. I almost finished my meal when my wife and daughter realized the Bento had not arrived yet. I asked the server about it, and she apologized, explaining that it was taking longer than expected.

Advice to the Owner: To ensure better business, please consider hiring more servers and not cutting back on labor costs. Customers don’t like waiting.

If the waiting time improves, we will definitely return.

Parking: Many free parking lots“

“If you’re a content creator this place is for you. They get treated better than the average person staff are attentive to them . If you are a regular person like me . Welp let just say it takes a while to be seen only attentive person was Issac he was nice actually genuinely seems interesting in giving good service.“

“"Absolutely love this Asai shop! The products are top-notch, no sugar added &lots of variety ,the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the overall shopping experience is fantastic. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Asai products. Will definitely be returning!" Thank you Zina & Sarah for being so kind and helpful“

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

“This is my favorite and go to shabu and its for a reason. the quality of meats here are incredible and they offer different types of cuts with different prices. They also offer more than few options for broth which is a huge plus and my favorite here is the yuzu. moreover, the wait time is not long and they have greta service.“
