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.”

“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.”

“A true hidden gem here in Laguna Niguel. Wide selection of beans and roast levels to choose from. Beans are roasted onsite. Staff is top notch and are happy to explain all the choices available. I always come here for the whole beans but they do have a small selection of coffee available to enjoy there or to go. Outdoor seating is available. A+ customer service! For all the espresso aficionados out there, don’t miss this place!”

“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. I loved the ambiance, open and welcoming and they have a mercado with authentic product. Next time I'm going to the pizza bar with some more birthday girls!”

“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!”

“So healthy and tastes like a treat!”

“Pretty good Poke, it tasted fresh, love the options and the fact that you can mix many sauces. The Spam musubi is pretty good too. If you have a hankering for Poke try them out!”

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

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

“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.”

“Calo K's ceviche is delicious.”

“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!”

“This little gem of a sushi restaurant never disappoints! We have been coming here since 2021 and love the variety of menu choices. You’ll never get bored of their menu. They even make their crispy onions and other toppings in house.”

“First time going here and it will not be the last. Got the first timer and it was awesome, half crispy potato and half pepperoni garlic. Highly recommend dipping in the spicy ranch. The dessert was great too. They are also a bakery, and with the quality of the cookies and cannoli cake - you could tell. 10/10 food and service”

“Very cute outdoor patio that elevates the fast/casual dining experience. Feta fries had fun flavors, the kids gave the gyros a 10/10, but the salad was pretty overdressed. Service was fast and people were kind. Would definitely come here over other fast/casual options nearby!”

“Lovely experience Charming All around and great food 💕”

“So many good things. Soba noodle salad. yum! My favorite is the healthy fish and chips. The cajun whitefish was unbelievable! Everything is that I’ve had there.”

“Looking for great food and great service in a relaxing, friendly environment ? Look no further as the Belgium Waffle Haus is 'your' place. They have a wide selection of various specialties for breakfast/brunch/lunch - whatever your palate is craving for. And a nice way to treat yourself!”

“SO DELICIOUS!! I wish more places like this existed. Pasta was super fresh and filling, and it was a decent price. Also tried their focaccia bread and OMG that is a must! 10/10 would come here again.”

“Chaupain always does a nice job with food preparation, presentation and service. This location has more seating than the store near Laguna Woods, but offers the same great selection of food and pastries.”

“Shannon is a sweet & smiling server who made my visit for a quick drink special.”

“Quality food at fair prices! Can't wait to come back & actually sit down in the nice dining area. 👍🏼”

“Food and drinks were amazing but the music was soo loud and obnoxious that I wish I got my order to go. You would think that you walked into a club/bar the music was so loud.”

“Very customer service friendly”

“It was our first choice for our anniversary dinner! Good decision!!”

“good food on the go. plenty of seafood options.”

“Board and Brew in Dana Point provided amazing food and customer service that is above and beyond for my brother’s memorial service on 11/2. They confirmed my order a few days before the memorial
And the day of. Delivery was fantastic and they truly put their heart into this special day for us. Thank you everyone you are all the best”

“Had a great V day dinner...all the food here is SO good! We had garlic bread, Caesar with anchovies, sausage/onion pizza and the special strawberry ice cream dessert. All excellent. Service was great overall and Grace did a great job for us! Thanks and we will be back.”

“Very good stuff! Being picky and in the same type of business, it's difficult to find. Great job guys. will be back next time I'm in town”

“Mangia Bene is our favorite local choice for Italian. Owner is very hands on and checks in with diners to ensure experience is excellent! Most staff has been there for many years. Magnifico!”

“Great food and prices. Especially the alcohol prices. your bill isn't half alcohol cost.”

“Food was fabulous, the Rock of Ages Band was fabulous, and our waiter, Zach, was fabulous. Such a wonderful night out.”

“Very authentic! If you want The taste of authentic Greek food...highly recommended! Don't forget the Greek beer! Ya Mas!”

“The food here is absolutely amazing! Every dish is packed with authentic flavors and perfectly balanced seasoning. Highly recommend the General Tso’s Chicken and Kung Pao Shrimp!”

“Great service and the best food. One of our favorite places to go for many years.”

“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!”

“All the cookies looked great. It's only Tuesday and they already ran out of ingredients for one of the cookies. Who are these managers? Dana point had this problem and now they are gone”

“We 🖤 Handel’s!!! Such a fun experience every time. 👻 👻 👻”

“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.”

“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.”

“The food was hot and freshly prepared, the service was friendly and attentive. They offer a daily special - burrito with a choice of chicken or shredded beef, served with a side of rice, beans, and chips. I did question the extra rice and beans, assuming they were included both inside the burrito and on the side. I wasn’t expecting it to be so veggie-filled (grilled onions, peppers etc) , which actually turned out to be a nice surprise. The burrito itself was on the smaller side and packed more vegetables than protein, but the flavors were still good. The salsa bar was incredible, offering a variety of flavors, although they were a bit mild, probably to cater to the local community’s taste. Overall, a solid spot worth returning to, especially to try the tacos next time!”

“Carne Asada was more like carne molida (ground beef). It was tasty but it didn't feel high quality. I ordered Carne Asada burrito + guacamole ($18) and I could barely find guacamole or Carne asada. Tacos were so muchhhh better- stuffed with Carne and guacamole ($7 each) . Much better deal to just get tacos unless you want mostly tortilla and rice as your burrito.”

“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!””

“Pit stop on your way to the beach or back home :) Amazing local place, high quality food, comfy place to have a meal and meet friends. Update: they have great menu for breakfast. Loving the place.”

“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) 🙂”

“Delicious coffee and cake at High Tide Coffee Laguna Niguel. One of my favorite places to visit.”

“The best service ever. Delicious food. 💯 recommend”

“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’m always the first customer in the morning, picking up breakfast for my two girls. They love the Sausage Burritos and Hash Browns! The food is always fresh, and the crew is so kind and welcoming, always smiling. Chick-fil-A makes our mornings brighter.”

“This place has amazing food, great drinks and the staff is phenomenal and fun! There is no Irish Pub in SoCal that compares!”

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

“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.”

“Annie is an incredible lady who makes you feel like family from the moment you walk/roll in. Thank you for being amazing, Ann!”

“Counter service japanese food. A limited selection of sushi but not a real problem. Food was tasty, the bento boxes were generous. Sushi was fresh and tasty. Prices were very reasonable. Recommend going for a quick and reasonable meal.”

“the margarita! best in town. food is good too. friendly place.”

“As someone who loves to bake, these cookies are phenomenal (this visit I got the chocolate chip and marble). Usually at a lot of places the cookies are too sweet and cakey. These cookies are subtly sweet and have a great texture to them. This is a spot I’d be willing to drive to even though I’m not from the area. Will be coming back!”

“This juice bar has some very tasty options. I especially like that all the ingredients are very high-quality and most of the drinks are not super sweet.

The protein powder has a hint of peanut butter. It taste great without being too sweet or having the tangy protein taste.

Their establishment looks very clean and well kept.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Most efficient Jersey Mikes! Benny, Calvin, Jason, and the rest of the crew always put on a show and it's always a fun atmosphere with great sandwiches. We always go to this location! ❤️”

“4.5/5 - My partner came here with friends and said it was really good, except for the rice. Naturally, I had to try it myself. We arrived around 4:30 a.m., and they had a happy hour dinner special, which was quite affordable. The portions were a decent size!
I ordered the Sichuan beef, which came with your choice of white or brown rice, along with hot and sour or egg drop soup. My partner went for the shrimp chow mein. Definitely ask for the wontons, hot sauce, hot mustard, and chili oil - adding these to the soup makes it sooo good.
We also shared a family-sized salt and pepper calamari, which was huge. I will say, the rice was a bit of a letdown =( more like Uncle Ben’s than authentic. However, our server was super fast, friendly, and checked in on us throughout. They also have a patio, so they’re very pet-friendly! Overall, a good spot if you’re looking for good happy hour deals!”

“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!”

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

“Unexpected great food, very unassuming place. They don’t serve alcohol, but we got a beer at Ambers to go and enjoyed it with our meal. They didn’t have music playing but since we were the only ones there at the time, we played our own. Hot and sour soup and Szechuan Beef were 👌👌👌”

“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(?!)”

“Absolutely loved my Tom Yum here! The broth was rich, perfectly balanced between spicy and sour, with fresh shrimp and herbs that made every spoonful delicious. The presentation in the hot pot kept it warm the whole time, and the cozy atmosphere made it even better. Great service and attention to detail — highly recommend this place!”

“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”

“FRIENDLY staff at Peet's Coffee in Laguna Niguel, CA!”

“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.”

“It’s conveniently near my place 😂”

“I come here almost 3 times a week...really good”

“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.”

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

“Tried the new salad - the seasonal GOAT with apples. chicken, goat cheese, pink lady apples, dried cranberries, honey roasted almonds, pickled red onions, shaved fennel, fresh mint, romaine, kale, mixed greens, farmhouse vinaigrette, hot citrus honey. Yum.”

“Introduced a friend to this place via takeout and the crispy honey chicken was soggy and lacked any flavor, tasted more like vinegar. I believe this was an isolated incident as this was the first time I experienced this. The manager was very apologetic and made it right. I really appreciated the response!”

“My must stop spot when visiting California! Food is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond.”

“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!!”

“Delicious Fro-yo, kind service, multiple flavours to sample! Loved the Chocolate Fudge Gelato and Salted Caramel in a cone, but if you want some toppings, get the cup!”

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

“12/7/22. In town for a seminar and this restaurant was recommended. Excellent pizza and excellent price. I'll return Friday and grab lunch again on my way home to San Diego!”

“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…”

“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.”

“This place blew me away with their quality of food and the taste was amazing. Highly recommend! The rosemary focaccia bread was fresh, soft and tasty. The dressings said no seed oils. I LOVE this place and can’t wait to try the location in Laguna Niguel.”

“I ended up ordering a 5pc Crispy Tender Combo and to my surprise, Wingstop blessed me with 7 Chicken Tenders to enjoy rather than the 5 I ordered!

I was eating my tenders on the way home and thought I ordered 5: 2 Original with 3 Lemon Pepper, but as I took the bite out of one of the original tenders, I pulled back the paper and to my surprise TWO extra tenders!!!

I don’t know about anyone else, but these Blessings mean everything to me!

So I just wanted to thank God and Wingstop for blessing me and my home with this meal.”

“Ramen is so delicious tastes just like the ramen I had in Asia. The pork is very flavorful and I love the miso broth. Services was very fast and the staff are very friendly! My go to ramen place”
