The environment is also super stylish! 5 STARS!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I have frequented the locally world famous Muggs Away for over 30 years now.I say world famous because Ripley's Believe It or Not once came during the annual Mooning of the Amtrak, to see what the mooning was all about. That episode aired around the world, and the bar got calls from all over the world from folks wanting reservations.True story!Great pours, gorgeous bartenders, and one of the coolest hangouts on 5 South!”
“I ordered delivery via an app- i just got the tuna Sandwich but it was pretty remarkable. It was HUGE, fresh, soft bread & not a bit soggy upon arrival. I will order again as the veggie sandwich was calling my name too!”
“Friendly and chill atmosphere, and the service was quick and great! One of the better Mexican food places in this area, with my personal favorite being the al pastor tacos. Highly recommend if your into Mexican cuisine.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“What a wonderful surprise stopping by here after the gym thinking I was going to get different options of Gyro and Rice and there were so many offerings that were very healthy and appetizing. I ordered the Zoodles with the Salmon protein option and it was delicious. It was also a nice surprise that they serve equally yummy breakfast options all day long. I have my close to home healthy go to option that does not compromise on taste and plenty of variety.”
“These guys are amazing, the kindest people who make the best pizza in oc. They give attention to every element of the pizza, it’s absurd how good the flavors are. Highly recommend.”
“OC Local is a big, clean, beautiful place to have fun and relax. Families, couples, singles, groups, and dogs are all welcome here. They have something for everyone!Troy and Patrick run the place, and they are wonderful people. Even when they're busy, they take the time to greet everyone personally.Good food and great drinks. The tacos and nachos are my go-to choices for food. They have so many beers on tap that is hard to pick a favorite.”
“A definite must try! Great food and easy to work with as they catered my wedding. Food was fresh and tasty. Great feedback from all my family and friends. Will for sure be going back to eat at the restaurant. Owners are very accommodating and will work with you to make your ideal menu for catering.”
“In terms of quick service done well this place is a shining example of such excellence. I couldn’t recommend it more for any person that enjoys health and wellness or simply a person that enjoys an incredibly well made smoothie/bowl.”
“Very pricey Mexican food, but worth every penny. A party of 4: after delicious chips, black bean dip, guacamole n salsa, one had a combo plate with custom selections, another had short rib enchiladas, and two of us had Chile Verde. Everyone loved the meal. Probably as good or better Chile Verde as I've ever eaten n we have spent a lot of time in Mexico for our entire adult lives. A quality experience all around.Kid-friendliness: Our 5th wheel was a 10 yr old who liked the rice and his carne asada taco very much. Wait staff catered to him n made him feel special.”

The blonde lady that helped me was very knowledgeable and had a great smile, I'll be back.Kid-friendliness: She is so good with the kids that come for her popsicles!”
“Absolutely the best breakfast burrito ! Homemade sausage - yes homemade sausage ! Everything is so fresh and the guys who own / operate this place are incredible. It's a hidden gem and not just donuts but the best breakfast in the area. And they have a homemade bacon aioli that I can't wait to try on one of their sandwiches!Thanks for a great breakfast !!!”
“Love this little diner. So glad like many others it has not closed through these last few years with the pandemic. I’ve always had a great meal from there. One of my fav’s is the Machaca and eggs! It’s so good with their homemade salsa!”

Do yourself a favor and go grab some friends and head to Taste of Greece! It will transport your taste buds to Greece in one bite! Thank you Elizabeth and Gianni!”
“Delicious sushi. One thing that is pretty annoying is that they haven’t paid for a music service so there are about 5 minutes of commercials blasting in your ear every 10 minutes.”
Outdoor Dining
“Great coffee, great service. Very unique roast-to-order service, don’t know of anywhere else in the area that has anything like this. They’re always friendly and happy to answer any questions.”
“This is the most reasonably priced coffee cafe in South OC. The seating accommodations are plentiful with the library nook being cozy. I've tried several different flavored lattes and have not been disappointed. The food is unique and tasty.”
“Hidden between a Burrito place and beauty salons in this little cove filled with the energy of having matcha on a weekday afternoon off.Belgium waffle haus provides menus with seasonal offerings and sandwiches along with its breakfast staples. The service is adorable as she drew little doodles/kaomoji on our coffees instead of names. There is also some light table service which is pleasant and most table ware is stainless steel for the more eco conscious.Honey/Syrup is provided at the table. Overall, for 1 Kefir, 1 medium coffee, and a sandwich estimates to under $30 USD. A nice date and premium experience for those looking for a social meeting. Bathrooms are available, and booster seats are clean and ready in the back.Kid-friendliness: Provides booster seats and the staff are kindWheelchair accessibility: Ground level access without many or any thresholds.”
“We love Briccio! They have live entertainment, the owner goes around to say hi to everyone, they remember their customers and the food is great. We just had their butter cake - the most delicious butter cake I ever had. Definitely a neighborhood gem.”
“We enjoyed dinner tonight and the food was excellent. The noodle and rice dishes were so flavorful and the filet mignon cubes would just melt in your mouth. The restaurant is small and simple but very clean and staff is super friendly. I can't wait to go back again. Highly recommend you give them a try.”
“Around 1130am. Wednesday Nice cheerful people working here, Carla was my cashier and i think it was Carmen out in dining areas making sure all is good and keeping everything clean. Overall all the staff here was cheerful and had positive attitudes and uplifting.”
“Whoever made my burger today on 4/4/24 at noon time, legit was one of the best in n out burgers I’ve ever had, every in n out is different but the cooks at this location always make the burger sooo juicy and like the perfect amount of cheesiness and meltiness, buns toasted to perfection, fries were great! Also even though this location is so tiny, they are on top of it with the line, I came on my lunch and only had a 30 min lunch, and still had time to spare to sit and enjoy my meal. Just wanted to recognize the team here:)”
“Food is good. Enjoyed the pork belly Eggs Benedict. The music and noise is so loud it became annoying. Probably appeals to some younger but would be nicer a little lower.”
“My spouse and I went Asian kitchen because we were craving Pho. We both had their seafood udon and it was absolutely delicious! I also had a peach martini, and my spouse had a Japanese lager. Both were exceptionally delicious, as well! Our waitress, “Anita“ was a delight! She had a great sense of humor, and made the whole experience that much more fun and enjoyable.

“One of my families favorites. Been going for years, it has always been excellent. Sandy and Shu do a great job in the front of the house and we all love the food. Favorites include Yosi's crispy fish, mala scallops and chicken. My wife loves the sesame shrimp with walnuts or aromatic shrimp. My buddy ALWAYS gets the chefs special crispy beef. It can get crowded and the food's always fresh so at peak hours you need to be patient when dining in. I order take out a lot (especially during Covid) and never had an issue. Always exactly what I ordered and pretty quick. I highly recommend it!”

“Board and brew always has excellent food, experience in the restaurant is always enjoyable. I'm not much of a beer guy but my dad enjoys their beers. Had a rough experience on 3/13 and the manager reached out on 3/14 asking for clarification so he could educate his team and apologized for the inconvenience.”
“I came in for lunch the other day with my extended family! We had a huge party and I was worried that we would be a burden to the employees, but one employee in specific was this lovely lady named Sophia! She was very patient with my little cousins and was super friendly! All the employees here are super respectful and their number #1 priority is great customer service! I'll be coming here a lot now!”
“Good variety of beers, and whomever makes it seems to know what they're doing. Nice atmosphere; couches, tables, and even some comfortable seats from an airplane. Nice selection of takeout canned beer.”
“I called to see if organic she was honest 80%. I’m super picky about it but went here and was glad to find they care about quality - w healthy desserts too. Juice was strong and fair priced. ”
“The BEST FISH place ever and super healthy menu! Made perfectly and freshly warm and served ! amazing customer service always! My boyfriend and I always go there , they also have happy hours menu which is has great deals! 10/10 definitely recommend !!”
“I ordered the Pollo Milanese and found it super dry. When I looked it up on the menu the next day found they had either left off the olive oil, lemon sauce etc or let it sit too long that the sauce dried up. Was disappointing.My friends ordered the chicken fettuccine and it was cooked well and they enjoyed it.The Parmesan garlic bread was wonderful, as usual.The bus boy was fantastic and more attentive and helpful than the server.”
“I LOVE this place!! I have tried SO MANY things in their menu and have yet to find a dish it don't like. They service is always friendly and the restaurant is always clean. Its a nice place inside, not a cheap looking place like a lot of others places I have seen. Their portion sizes are super generous as well!!Favorites: Thai Bite Sampler, Lemon Chicken, Plah Goong Salad (which comes with the sampler), Pa NangAnd FOR SURE try a Thai Tea while your there. AMAZING!!”
“I visited here for Sunday lunch. It is a pleasant surprise to find an old style Chinese restaurant near by. The foods were good and the owner was attentive. I will visit again.”

“we had eaten at Romero‘s about a year ago, and even though they were crowded, we found a table for the four of us.. The service was good, so food was good and we decided we would be back again. This last New Year’s Eve I called the number that I thought was Romero‘s cuisine and made a reservation for 6 PM for four hours. When we got there, they said they didn’t have a reservation, but would accommodate us anyway even though they were booked up for the evening. We had a delicious meal and Service was excellent. We just returned last week after the movie with two other couples and again we had wonderful service and a wonderful meal. We were looking forward to going back there very soon. We love romero’s cuisine. I hope you try it soon..”
“Absolutely delicious Mu Shu pork, shrimp with lobster sauce and Egg Rolls. I loved all of it but I had a foodgasm when I ate the egg rolls. All the ingredients seemed fresh and the sauces rocked. This is my new restaurant fave. My only suggestion would be not to use zucchini slices in the lobster sauce. Bok choy would have been better. This was a Door Dash meal that made me happy!”
“Excellent Food and Service with a Smile. Bailey, who manages the front of the house is very accomodating and approachable. For example, restaurants have reasons that substitutions are not usually accepted, however when they are willing to forgo their policies in consideration of specific issues, in this case medical reasons, it shows they have a heart and are not just corporate shmorporate. Even though Hendrix is owned by a restaurant group they function more like a family restaurant, offering a unique set of restaurants with diverse, chef driven cuisines all of which use the highest quality ingredients, local artisanal products usually found in large city restaurants think San Francisco or Miami restaurants.Fortunately, Hendrix is not a national chain and this remains one of the reasons that I really like the staff here...they are treated like people rather than disposable assets (Cheesecake Factory anyone)..When it starts with good people from the top down, it functions more like a family restaurant which I promise is much more desirable to clients and less and less common these days. Kudos to the staff at Hendrix, where even late at night, when the shift ends in 15 mind... Great food is a reason to pick a restaurant but Professional Service is the reason people come back. Thanks Again.Highly Recommended for anything Rotisserie, Salads and Scrumptious Desserts! Oh and Pizza is a 9.5/10. Try it!”
“Love this place! Hands down the best place around with the best food and service! We asked them to make us scallion pancakes with ginger sauce n the next visit it was on the menu! And absolutely delicious! During covid when they couldn’t have dine in the put up a ping pong table to play while u waited for your food! It was so fun! My only complaint is that they bring back the ping pong table!!!????”
“Ordered takeout. Service was good. My order was done when promised. Before I left the restaurant, the friendly server reviewed my order with me to make sure it was correct.The BBQ chicken was good. The sides were so large (1/2 pint) that I couldn't eat my whole meal. I had a taste of baked beans, mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. The baked beans were weirdly sweet but good. The mashed potatoes are very creamy. The mac & cheese is creamy but bland. The dinner rolls are sublime.The atmosphere of the restaurant seems quite nice. It's a wee bit more upscale than the plethora of fast casual restaurants in the area. It would be a good choice for a date night. The patio looked very inviting even on a cool winter evening.RECOMMEND”
“Phenomenal local neighborhood bar. The service was wonderful. The staff went out of their way to be kind which is a rarity in life let alone a bar. Bravo! Highly recommend.”

“This place is great. Definitely in my top few choices for sushi. The food is tasty. I had some edamame, tempura (shrimp and vegetable), cut rolls (philly, salmon, over the rainbow, and mellow yellow (the sauce served under this one is particularly tasty) ), and finished off some nigiri and a poke salad that were leftover on our table. The staff were kind and diligent. Can't wait to revisit Apple and the crew.Thank you all for a memorable eating experience.”
“Shadi responded so quickly and was incredibly helpful when we needed an order done in a pinch!! The order also came out looking amazing. 100% would recommend, and will be coming back in the future!!”
“Best Ice cream I have ever had!!We went to the store twice during our trip and the catered my Mom's 100th birthday!!I can't say enough good things about them ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Today was great like many other times. We meet this wonderful lady that was complimenting us with my grandkids (all 7 of them)She gave us a little gift card for Christmas and said from Secret Santa... She made our day and hope to invite her to eat with us next time?Thank You secret Santa ?Parking: Very nice place.Kid-friendliness: Yes, it has arcades for the kids.”
“I visit this place at least once a week, the food is always great and comes out fast, the service is great and the employees are so accommodating and nice and the vibe of the place is great. IF YOU GO TRY THE MANGO SALSA IS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Love this small family-owned restaurant in a strip mall in Laguna Niguel. They have a great Happy Hour, wonderful food and friendly service - even when they’re super busy!”
“Butter+Cream Bakery made the most incredible wedding cake and desserts my wife and I have ever had! Our wedding cake was gluten-free due to my wife's allergy and it was so good that when we told people after the fact they legitimately did not believe us because Nataly's talent is so good that her gluten-free cake is still even better than anyone else's regular cake! We also had small fruit tarts, 3 flavors of macarons, & 3 types of cupcakes with amazing flower frosting on top. Each as incredible as the previous! We seriously can not recommend this place enough as it will be the best sweets you have ever had! Thank you Nataly for making our special night even more perfect!”
“Really great fish and food! Love the salmon special and crazy roll! Service and atmosphere really great. Employees are really nice and friendly to everyone! WOULD recommend!!!”
“We went to the Aliso Creek Crumble. The girl working on Saturday was a sweet heart and very helpful. It's always nice to walk it and have friendly people greet you! The cookies are simply the best!”
“Found myself here for lunch on a weekday at noon. This pizza parlor serves pizza by the slice if you don't want a whole one. There were probably ten choices for a slice and I chose two: Hawaiian and Pepperoni & Sausage. I also got a fountain drink and was given a lunch deal price. I sipped on a cherry Coke while they heated my slices and delivered them to the table I sat at. The slices were enormous! The Hawaiian had wall-to-wall pineapple and plenty of ham while the Pepperoni & Sausage had meat-o-plenty. The thin crust was a bit droopy while hot but firmed up a bit as it cooled. The cheese had excellent stretch to it. Great pizza, great price, great service...what more can you ask for?”
“Delicious sushi. One thing that is pretty annoying is that they haven’t paid for a music service so there are about 5 minutes of commercials blasting in your ear every 10 minutes.”
“I had my sons pick up the wedding cake I ordered for my daughter's wedding on Saturday and realized that I never paid for it- so it obviously wasn't prepared! Your staff, namely STERLING helped us out by calling your Newport store and had them make the most beautiful and delicious cake I've ever had! Thank you to your NEWPORT location for saving our wedding even though it was MY mistake! Forever in gratitude for you all!”
“This is a place that you would never know existed if it weren't for the internet. I would not normally go into the shopping center where this is located, it just isn't in my normal drive. I found Amber's online after living in the area for quite some time. This place is really great and all the food we tried was delicious. The service was wonderful and they even give you actually large salsas on the table so that also won me over. Fajitas were good, nachos were good, soup was good, combination plate was good. I want to try more things! :)”

“100% wow. The food looks and tastes amazing. The spot is good vibes!! The host and chef are fun and funny. Really delicious. The best sushi I’ve had in SoCal in a long time.”
“Pressed Juicery bowls and freezes are the definition of a healthy treat, and I recommend this location specifically. I’ve visited several Pressed Juicery stores in California and New York, but the product tasted the best at this location. I’ve gotten the açaí freeze and açaí bowl here, and both were delicious and well-balanced. At other locations, the açaí was too creamy and tasted watered down with too much oat milk or coconut cream and not enough açaí fruit. I’m glad this place gets it right! I recommend adding granola for one of the toppings. It’s so good here and adds a nice crunch.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is the best chick fil A. I love how they anticipate the guests needs by offering mints, extra napkins and wipes with my mobile orders. Little things like this really make the experience better. Thank you”
“Cleanest Taco Bell I’ve been to. Made it in time for happy hour. Zero Sugar Baja Blast was refreshing. A worker was sweeping the floor. Pretty cozy. Ordering on the kiosk was easy. Did they discontinued the strawberry twists? I wanted to try those. Small parking lot, but had no trouble finding parking.”
“Its been awhile since I was in the area and stopped by for dinner. I order the fish chips dinner with a salad and bread, but notice the option to add another fish was replaced for shrimp. Although, I will miss the option the portion of two were still big enough to have seniors share in my case. People, do miss on the site and in the menu a service fee is applied for cards so if you visit heads up as they not always inform you. I do miss the orginal breading for the onion rings and the breakfast burrito was changed unlike the original.”
“Tiffany was super helpful & pleasant despite my order of 8 drinks. Every drink came out as ordered and within just a few minutes even though they were busy with drive thru customers. Nice work, Starbucks. You hired good people at this location:)”
“We want to give a huge shout out to the folks at Wendy’s Laguna Niguel. My wife left her wallet there and they not only recovered it but called us multiple times and held it safely until we could pick it up. Really service above and beyond. Wonderful people.John FLaguna Niguel”
“Fantastic people working here in the morning. Lettuce was crisp and fresh and everything was fast and delicious. The guy working the front and drive through is especially great.”
“What a wonderful experience at this El Pollo location. Warm sincere greeting, fast and friendly service at the counter. My chicken was cooked to perfection and my sides were HOT & FRESH!! The salsa choices were great and the Spicy was Spicy and the Avocado Salsa was so Tasty. When my travels bring me this way I will return. And a quick mention of whom I feel was in charge (lady) Demaritus...forgive me for the spelling, she was everywhere assisting everyone!! Great job....”
“I have been frequenting this McDonald's for nearly 20 years. The service is always exceptional and the food quality is exactly what you want from McDonald's, which is consistently good food at a reasonable price.”
“I was out doing some Christmas shopping and decided to try something at McDonald's that I haven't had in years! I decided to try a Big Mac! This is not my local McDonald's. This is in Laguna Niguel. I ordered my food at the drive-through and parked nearby to eat my dinner. My fries were nice and hot and my diet Coke was very refreshing! My local McDonald's were I live, hasn't made a Big Mac no were near satisfactory in years! So I thought that if I try a different McDonald's hopefully the results will be better. And to my surprise...my Big Mac was delicious ? Since I parked close by, my food was still warm. I forgot that Big Mac's can be a little messy, so ask for extra napkins! All I can say is that if I'm craving a Big Mac...I will definitely be coming back to the Laguna Niguel McDonald's. The one near The Home Depot.?”
“I'm on my 3rd annual 21 day cleanse. It's a great way to reset your eating habits and get you back on track to a healthy lifestyle. And the lbs seem to melt off. Each time I've lost up to 12 lbs. easy. Saunas really do make your skin silky soft.”
“Their Charcotta pizza and meatball sliders are AMAZING!!! The customer service here was really good, very attentive and the food came out so quick! Clean restaurant as well!”
“We just had dinner and our server Oscar was the best! Very kind and he even brought me a birthday dessert after seeing it was my birthday yesterday! Also the food was delicious had the taco and soup combo and it came out very fast. The entire staff was wonderful, highly recommended.”

“Excellent service and delicious subs. Jersey Mikes giant Original sub has abundant meat and cheeses. Their award program is the best. A free Giant sub with our points. I highly recommend this shop. Every one is friendly.”
“I got a rose milk tea boba and it was 10/10. I am an avid boba drinker and I'm so picky about what kind of places I go to. I decided to give this place a try and it was so delicious! I'm craving another one now The woman at the front register was super sweet and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back soon!”
“My first time here and I must say it’s the tastiest tacos I’ve had for a while! Got to try the artichoke mushroom with avocado, I’m not a vegetarian but boy it’s delicious! Must try?Vegetarian options: Artichoke mushroom with avocado”
“I used to live close by and frequently visited Phở the bowl. Always ordered stir-fried beef noodles, grilled pork vermicelli, and wonton soup. Those were the most flavorful to my taste. Fast service and you can also take out or order through delivery apps.”
“I used to go to Chronic Tacos a long time ago when I worked near Westwood and when Wee Man owned one in Redondo Beach. I enjoyed the food back then and was happy that I still feel that way. This location is on the old Freebirds at South Bay Pavilion. I'm happy that another good Mexican food place filled the vacancy. The place is very bright and clean feeling. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The owner came to check on my family and I to see how everything went. We were happy with everything and let her know. She was appreciative and asked us to let our friends know that they are there. She gave us a couple coupons for a free taco too.”
“It’s as authentic of a Persian kabobary gets. Over 5 years we’ve been enjoying chicken, rice and salad at least once a month. Quality is consistently great especially the chicken kabob and the basmati rice cooked to perfection ever. Single. Time.”
“My absolute favorite place for breakfast and little treats and coffee! Don't @ me but their coffee and food are just superior. They have the best vibes and the kindest people ever working there. If they'd let me set up an air mattress in the back I'd be the happiest customer ever☺️ ?”
“Food was good until the final few bites. Had a bamboo like hard material in my chicken. Picture attached. Stabbed my gums. I showed the pieces to the associate up front before leaving.”
“It is so much fun to eat at the food court at Costco in the Laguna Niguel Marketplace. I know that I will never be disappointed with my great hot dog and drink or pizza or the wonderful Frozen yogurts. The only thing I'm disappointed in is the high cost of the barbecued beef sandwich. Even the servers are really nice.”
“Located at the corner of Oso and Alicia. This is the best coffee shop in the area. The staff is friendly and helpful, and there's lots of outside seating with umbrellas.”
“This Peet’s location has the very best baristas in all of Dana Point. I feel like I’m a bit of a coffee snob and I get really annoyed when my drinks aren’t made correctly. These guys know their stuff! Superb every time!”
“Clubbing on a Friday night has new meaning when you get older. This is my Friday night go to place. With the expanded gas station there is never a wait and it is very easy to drive into the first or second spot even if there are cars already at the other two spots. There is ample parking that gives you the option of waiting for a spot close or just parking a few sections back with no delays and enjoying the little exercise of a walk to the entrance (I prefer the latter). The food court is outside and have only used it twice since its conversion to kiosk prepayment, but was able to adapt quickly and the service is still great. At least it prohibits the old problem of people adding family members to their order while we are all waiting in line to be helped. Inside the warehouse, the shopping flow is top notch. Easy to cover the store in one circuit and aisles are wide enough to allow two way traffic. The employees are very helpful and friendly. They have always gone above and beyond when I am looking for an item that either has been moved or is currently out of stock. They have even advised when a shipment is due in or if it has been discontinued. At check out, they always appreciate a seasoned Costco member when you label up your items and/or have an item count to verify with them. Of all the Costco locations I have been to, this is my favorite. I always feel valued as a member and treated like a friend.”
“I’ve loved Blaze Pizza since it first came to California. I just started taking my kids here and they love the concept, not sure if a bigger corporate change or this location but the staff really skimp on cheese, in person easy enough to address, but we door-dashed once and the kids wouldn’t eat something they love because they were scared off from the look of it with too much red sauce (we get just cheese pizza, and the default ratio of cheese to sauce is off).”
“Came in for lunch and I was greeted and seated immediately. There were lunch specials at fair prices ,entrees served with rice and beans, so I ordered that. Fresh warm chips and salsa were served. Food came out quickly and piping hot. Taco had generous chicken and the chili relleno was quite good. Serving CE was excellent.”
“YUM YUM YUM, the Tutu's Bento that was catered was a great treat, and our server Jordan went above and beyond to make sure that our catering experience to this restuarant was exceptional. thank you team!”
“Good burger joint with some decent beers too. The Napa Burger is consistently great with goat cheese, grilled onions and pesto mayo. Soft bun and high quality meat. The onion rings and garlic fries are both good side items. I used to really like the peanut slaw but it does not taste the same as previous times (maybe it's just a one off), but I will try it again to be sure. Beer selection is limited but good for fast casual experience. Overall good experience and I will go back for another Napa Burger.”
“Great service. My favorite is the gluten free roasted California veggie w/ garlic sauce. The cooks do an amazing job and are always on point. Other favs are arugula salad pizza and the Latino chicken sandwich. I've been going here for three years and it never disappoints.”
“Excellent Food and Service with a Smile. Bailey, who manages the front of the house is very accomodating and approachable. For example, restaurants have reasons that substitutions are not usually accepted, however when they are willing to forgo their policies in consideration of specific issues, in this case medical reasons, it shows they have a heart and are not just corporate shmorporate. Even though Hendrix is owned by a restaurant group they function more like a family restaurant, offering a unique set of restaurants with diverse, chef driven cuisines all of which use the highest quality ingredients, local artisanal products usually found in large city restaurants think San Francisco or Miami restaurants.Fortunately, Hendrix is not a national chain and this remains one of the reasons that I really like the staff here...they are treated like people rather than disposable assets (Cheesecake Factory anyone)..When it starts with good people from the top down, it functions more like a family restaurant which I promise is much more desirable to clients and less and less common these days. Kudos to the staff at Hendrix, where even late at night, when the shift ends in 15 mind... Great food is a reason to pick a restaurant but Professional Service is the reason people come back. Thanks Again.Highly Recommended for anything Rotisserie, Salads and Scrumptious Desserts! Oh and Pizza is a 9.5/10. Try it!”
“This place was amazing! My boyfriend and I stopped here to eat from a little road trip. We love sushi and we gave this place a try. One the best choices we ever did! The food was delicious, the service was great and we loved the cozy feeling since it’s small! We live about an hour and half away but we have already made plans of returning just for the yummy sushi!”
“I have nothing to say, but good things about this little gem in Laguna Niguel. The food and cocktails were tasty, they had plenty of staff on hand as well and love the cozy atmosphere. They also feature great local bands.”

“What a wonderful surprise stopping by here after the gym thinking I was going to get different options of Gyro and Rice and there were so many offerings that were very healthy and appetizing. I ordered the Zoodles with the Salmon protein option and it was delicious. It was also a nice surprise that they serve equally yummy breakfast options all day long. I have my close to home healthy go to option that does not compromise on taste and plenty of variety.”

Will for sure be going back to eat at the restaurant. Owners are very accommodating and will work with you to make your ideal menu for catering.”
“Whoever made my burger today on 4/4/24 at noon time, legit was one of the best in n out burgers I’ve ever had, every in n out is different but the cooks at this location always make the burger sooo juicy and like the perfect amount of cheesiness and meltiness, buns toasted to perfection, fries were great! Also even though this location is so tiny, they are on top of it with the line, I came on my lunch and only had a 30 min lunch, and still had time to spare to sit and enjoy my meal. Just wanted to recognize the team here:)”
“In terms of quick service done well this place is a shining example of such excellence. I couldn’t recommend it more for any person that enjoys health and wellness or simply a person that enjoys an incredibly well made smoothie/bowl.”
“Food is good. Enjoyed the pork belly Eggs Benedict. The music and noise is so loud it became annoying. Probably appeals to some younger but would be nicer a little lower.”
“Great coffee, great service. Very unique roast-to-order service, don’t know of anywhere else in the area that has anything like this. They’re always friendly and happy to answer any questions.”

“Best Ice cream I have ever had!!We went to the store twice during our trip and the catered my Mom's 100th birthday!!I can't say enough good things about them ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“One of my families favorites. Been going for years, it has always been excellent. Sandy and Shu do a great job in the front of the house and we all love the food. Favorites include Yosi's crispy fish, mala scallops and chicken. My wife loves the sesame shrimp with walnuts or aromatic shrimp. My buddy ALWAYS gets the chefs special crispy beef. It can get crowded and the food's always fresh so at peak hours you need to be patient when dining in. I order take out a lot (especially during Covid) and never had an issue. Always exactly what I ordered and pretty quick. I highly recommend it!”
“Its been awhile since I was in the area and stopped by for dinner. I order the fish chips dinner with a salad and bread, but notice the option to add another fish was replaced for shrimp. Although, I will miss the option the portion of two were still big enough to have seniors share in my case. People, do miss on the site and in the menu a service fee is applied for cards so if you visit heads up as they not always inform you. I do miss the orginal breading for the onion rings and the breakfast burrito was changed unlike the original.”
“Im addicted to the Got Energy Juice. I've tried a lot of juices and a lot of farmers markets and none of them are as well blended and refreshing as these. The blonde lady that helped me was very knowledgeable and had a great smile, I'll be back.Kid-friendliness: She is so good with the kids that come for her popsicles!”
“What a wonderful experience at this El Pollo location. Warm sincere greeting, fast and friendly service at the counter. My chicken was cooked to perfection and my sides were HOT & FRESH!! The salsa choices were great and the Spicy was Spicy and the Avocado Salsa was so Tasty. When my travels bring me this way I will return. And a quick mention of whom I feel was in charge (lady) Demaritus...forgive me for the spelling, she was everywhere assisting everyone!! Great job....”
“Very pricey Mexican food, but worth every penny. A party of 4: after delicious chips, black bean dip, guacamole n salsa, one had a combo plate with custom selections, another had short rib enchiladas, and two of us had Chile Verde. Everyone loved the meal. Probably as good or better Chile Verde as I've ever eaten n we have spent a lot of time in Mexico for our entire adult lives. A quality experience all around.Kid-friendliness: Our 5th wheel was a 10 yr old who liked the rice and his carne asada taco very much. Wait staff catered to him n made him feel special.”
