Restaurants in Laguna Niguel

“Don't listen to the lonely negative review! I get my bowl made to my preference every time (unlike Craig Peters' post below). The staff ALWAYS respects my request to substitute blueberries for strawberries due to allergic reactions. Delicious and healthy, and never a hassle.”

“Best beans ever, all staff are Japanese and they pay close attention to every detail. If you're an espresso person, try out Guatemala City Roast, extract your espresso at 92C, you won't be disappointed.”

“The water cups had kind of a fishy smell. The curries were thick and the garlic naan was good. There was a good amount of meat in the vindaloo and makhani chicken. We weren’t a huge fan of the mango lassi. They do have a screen with Indian music videos playing which is nice.”

“So healthy and tastes like a treat!”

“Food here is amazing! Had amazing service. We're from canada and come down to California for two weeks every November. We have now decided that this will be added to our yearly traditions! Wonderful family owned business which is lovely to see. Everyone here cares about your experience and the quality of food. Cannot wait to come back!”

“We went to their farmers market stand in Laguna and they gave great services helping to us to decide the best flavor four our taste buds. We got the strawberry lemonade which was very delicious!”

“Out on date night and the wife found this little restaurant on IG that caught our eye on the pasta flight. Nestled in Laguna Niguel, the Italian restaurant is a cute little spot for a date night. We tried to find the flight on the menu, but it wasn’t as clear on the menu to look at. Nevertheless, we fought our hunger addled brains and were able to find our pastas that hit our hearts content. I ordered the basil babe and the wife got the veggie power which both were stellar. I will definitely be saving this place for a follow up.

Let’s go!!”

“Calo K's ceviche is delicious.”

“What a fabulous place. Went there to celebrate mutual birthdays with my BFF. I loved everything about this restaurant. Our bartender was fabulous, our meal, Branzino.. delicious, eye appealing, beautiful presentation and enough to split We met the owner who spent ample time with us as we asked questions about his journey opening the location, his background and the concept/vision for the restaurant and we met the GM.

“Oh My Sushi is a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall in Laguna Niguel. They serve incredibly fresh fish, beautifully presented in both classic and creative sushi rolls. The Toro Tasting is amazing. The décor is modern and inviting, the drinks are inventive, and the dessert selection is a sweet surprise. Their sake list is impressive — don’t miss the sake flight, it’s a must-try!””

“By far the best Indian restaurant in the area. The food is outstanding. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and the service is excellent. I love their coconut chicken and my husband enjoys their butter chicken and tiki masala. Their garlic naan is the best I’ve ever had.”

“Crispy Palau chart fish Tikka lamb meat balls chicken sandwiches all were amazing”

“Located at inside OC Local Taproom. The servers are super nice and attentive.
I had the Pork Belly Sopes and it was delicious!
They have taco Tuesday’s at $3/taco, they have specials for football days too.(Thursdays and Mondays)
Can not wait to come back and eat here again.”

“El Pollo Loco on Greenfield in Laguna Niguel is one of the best locations in our area. Isabel is the manager and we must say that we've had nothing but a wonderful experience with her, every time we've come here. One time, we were shorted during our drive-through order and we called her, and she immediately took care of it and then some! This evening we were back again and she was so kind to tell us all about their specials and to give us a coupon. She is so professional, courteous, and welcoming! If you want a good Apollo experience come to the Greenfield location, ask for Isabel, you won't be disappointed!!”

“Lovely experience Charming All around and great food 💕”

“I have had many of Shadi’s cakes for different occasions and celebration; I have to say, they are all so delicious and mouthwatering. Her apple Tart Tatin is to die for! Her cheese cakes are out of this world! Especially her Mars cheese cake is absolutely one of a kind. You have to try it to believe how delicious they are. Banana lovers, you must try her chocolate chip banana cake! It’s so yummy 🤤 Also as a person Shadi is as sweet or I should say truthfully sweeter than her Sweets 😉 She is always smiling and so pleasant to work with. You have a double advantage , not only you get a beautifully decorated cake it’s also super yummy and delicious that you have to fight over the crumbs! I highly recommend her to everyone!”

“Introduced a friend to this place via takeout and the crispy honey chicken was soggy and lacked any flavor, tasted more like vinegar.

“Restaurant is clean and open. Their sashimi bento box lunch special [includes miso soup, cucumber salad, tempura, half CA roll, and seven slices of quality sashimi served with real wasabi!] is the best and it was only $20. Thank you to sushi chef Obi for his recommendation. Now if they only served Kuronama or any other Japanese dark beer, they'd be perfect.”

“Incredible food and service! My mew favorite place!”

“The staff is great. They are always very friendly and make the drinks fast.”

“My family and I usually love Jizake and have been to this place multiple times over the years. However after last nights dinner not sure if we will come back. The first issue is that the server forgot to bring us 3 of our appetizers. I also noticed that my hot sake wasn't very hot and that they have trimmed down the size of their rolls. During the meal it became obvious to all of us outside that they were using a wifi speaker and whoesever phone it was hooked up to must have been moving around since the music was going in and out. Lastly while asking for the check I instructed the server to take the appetizers off our bill since we didn't receive them. He said he would and when he came back I was given a hand written bill with the break down. To his credit those appetizers were shown but not charged. I totaled up each line item and everything seemed correct as the subtotal was $170 with tax total should have been $183.17. However after taking my credit card he came back saying they totaled our bill incorrectly and apologized. Our new printed bill after charging my credit card didn't show the pricing break down for all the items but it appears that they added back in the money for the appetizers as with tax it came to $196.11 plus tip. By this point we just wanted to leave. After getting home we started not feeling so well. We don't usually have any bad reactions to sushi so maybe it was some sort of cross contamination issue. Either way I would caution everyone while eating at this establishment.”

“This experience was the best, I forgot to get the app and for my daughters birthday I took my girl to get a cookie, they ended up giving her a free Olivia Rodrigo cookie (her fav singer) and it tasted magical!! 5/5 definitely go here!”

“Very good food. My wife lives on their bean and cheese burritos. Ive tried most of the menu, nothing was marginal. All very good but the carne asada, fish burrito and ensenada tacos stand out. They have a great salsa bar and you can load up. Can be a bit of a wait during peak hours. It gets pretty loud when the place is full but i must be getting old.”

“Great spot for a group event!
We hosted an informal rehearsal dinner here on a Thursday evening for a group of 27, and everything was fantastic. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, responsive, and professional.
The restaurant is located in a beautiful shopping complex with plenty of parking, which made logistics easy for our guests. Since I live in the SF Bay Area, I coordinated the event remotely with Ken via phone and text. He was amazing—super helpful in planning a menu that fit our budget and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Ken and his team even went out of their way to accommodate one of our gluten-free guests, which we really appreciated.
The food was delicious—from the individually prepared, fresh and flavorful Vietnamese shrimp spring rolls to the hearty combination chow mein, everything was a hit. The Garlic Tofu & Vegetables were especially popular with the group, and my personal favorite was the Black Pepper Steak.
They set up a private patio area for us that felt intimate yet still connected to the restaurant’s relaxed SoCal vibe. The white tablecloths and flower arrangements added a lovely touch to our pre-wedding celebration.
Everyone in our party had a great time—great food, warm atmosphere, and top-notch service.

Highly recommended for group gatherings. Thank you, Ken and the Asia Kitchen team!”

“Great sandwiches 🥪 with lots of different varieties to choose from.

We recommend a visit, as this is one of our favorites for a good sandwich. 🥪”

“Service is always fast and with a smile. The variety and freshness of the bagels are always appreciated. No matter which bagel I get I always pair it with a fresh squeezed orange juice.”

“Shepherds pie is the best I have ever had, including the one I make! Do yourself a solid and head on down to Patsy’s. Our table had corned beef wraps appetizers to begin with, so good. Meals were, fish and chips ( lots of big thick fish), corned beef taco, chicken taco, Irish Mac and cheese, shepherds pie, tater tots side. Black and Tan and Guinness. Great service from Southwest Mark, friendly clientele. We will be back again and again.”

“Good food and fresh. The service was fast. You have salsa bar with different types of salsa. It’s a clean location. The prices are very reasonable. I would go back.”

“This is my absolute favorite smoothie place - they are so so delicious and I love how they use clean and homemade ingredients. Seriously my fave spot, I hope they open more locations!”

“The food is always great, quick service. If you guys ever add a Dutch Crunch bread to your menu it'll be even better. Shout out to Heidi and the rest of the team, thank you :0) 🙂”

“Went in with 12 kiddos from the nearby elementary school. I was greeted and helped by Dennis initially and could not have been treated any better. He was very accommodating and helpful with ordering. K assisted next and got all the food ready in great time. Highly recommend! This team made the party happen! Very thankful for their help.”

“I was originally planning to leave a 3.5 or 4-star review for Blaze Pizza, but something happened that encouraged me to change it to 5 stars. The quality of the pizzas was good for the price, although a part of the crust was slightly overcooked, and a bit more attention during baking would have helped. Still, overall, I’d say the quality was solid considering the price point.

In my order, I had included a Caesar salad, which I realized was missing when I got home. I called the restaurant to let them know, and after checking my email later, I saw they had refunded part of the cost. This level of customer service truly impressed me and convinced me to add that extra star.”

“I Loved The Chicken Very Tasty & Yummy I Wish They Had More Locations Here In California”

“Blown away by Susie Cakes! Great people, fabulous selection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies and accessories! Plus they made my poor planning and last minute need their very pleasant priority. Sweet service with a smile!!!”

“Cool little hole in the wall place down the street from my parents place. Got the bento box and it hit the spot. I don't live there, but if you are looking for a random place, this isn't a bad place to check out. Only dig is they close early. Probably because they are in the back spot of a complex. So staying open late would be tough if folks don't know you are there.”

“Good times had by all . Skeleton crew played and they were great as usual. Beer is ice cold bartenders are super friendly”

“Good Morning- Happy Weekend. I had some coffee ☕️ at Starbucks this morning”

“So, my partner and I have a couple of pizza spots we like to hit up, while in the area. The other popular one told us it was a 45-minute wait, while this spot was a much quicker 20 minute wait, big plus there! The customer service was solid; everyone was friendly and chill.
We were really craving New York-style pizza, but honestly, this place was okay, good not terrible but also not quite NY style. The wings, on the other hand, were a highlight: big, juicy, and the sauce was spicy enough to kick it up a notch. Overall, I’d definitely recommend the wings they did the job and then some. The pizza was decent, but the wings really stole the show for me.”

“Been coming here since it opened. Great variety of flavors and since I am an insulin dependent diabetic, I am delighted they always have a "no sugar added" choice! Staff is friendly and helpful. �� Two thumbs up from me!”

“I went to Golden Spoon and tried the Georgia Peach. It didn't have that much of a peach flavour, but was really soft and creamy. I still liked it, and I am excited to try all the others.”

“The service is great and food is excellent. Becky was a wonderful host and took care of our party of 33 people with ease! So glad we dined with Thai Bite to celebrate with our family. All the food was made fresh and tasted great! Everyone was served well and looked after by the Thai Bite team.”

“It’s conveniently near my place 😂”

“Fantastic Verizon kiosk opportunity — customers and employees alike treat vendors like myself with far more respect than any other store, which is fantastic to say the least.”

“Best Bread best Amount of Meat and Vegs Best Sandwich I would definitely Recommend Lunch or Dinner”

“I like that I can order online and pick up. Smoothies/frappe have always been tasting good with a fair price. I have gotten pitaya frappe many times. I would call it smoothie as there is no coffee in it to call it frappe(?!)”

“We had chimichurri and bacon sandwiches, and the beef was so soft and juicy. The shop was very clean and quiet, and everything felt well-kept. The staff/owner was super friendly. I’d definitely come back here again!”

“Great service!!! Keep up the good work”

“I would buy a juice here daily if it fit in my budget!”

“The subway is very clean, the employees are very friendly, they are always smiling, you feel like you are with friends because of their socialism, like us as customers, Miss Mary and Mr. Cesar”

“Quick and easy and good all in one”

“This place is a local Institution. Been around for a long time and the food remains awesome
Good food. Family run. And if you get there at the right time some pretty good happy hour prices
Can get pricey at other times. But overall it's a great place for a meal
And love the bar. Good vibe. Good drinks. And again some pretty good deals at happy hour”

“Food at this location is so dang good! I went in on Saturday the 9th of April around 3pm and I was amazed. I got the half chicken and half falafel pita and it was really good. My wife got a bowl with falafel as well and both of us were amazed at how fresh everything was. The cook made us fresh falafel and was very nice to us. The chicken was so good next time I am getting double chicken and falafel! My wife said the rice was very well made and that she enjoyed her bowl. Cava for the win!”

“This is the best Hawaiian Breakfast location in Laguna Niguel!! Well done!”

“Excellent authentic Italian food with perfect portions! I have family in Italy and look forward to bringing them here on their next visit! I noticed people complained of “not enough cheese” well REAL Italian food doesn’t pack on the cheese! Maybe we can learn a lessen…”
