“A very nice and delicious gourmet Persian food restaurant , with excellent n quick service and genuine great staff and excellent prices for all budgets. See Mike for any of your questions or assistance with your order.”

“I love this restaurant when I am craving vegan food. I always order the Kung Pao Chicken. The food is very fresh and flavorful. I decided to try the soy chicken and vegetables and found it was almost the same as a Kung Pao Chicken, but I did not mind because it tastes so good! I highly recommend it if you are looking for a vegan restaurant.”

“Halal food Alert!!All halal foodies, this place offer turkey, steak and halal chicken. The owner confirmed that the food is halal.It was not only halal, it was yum! I don’t know why they don’t display a sign of halal. It’s a must go”

“It's so so good. The owner is very nice, and there is never much of a wait. The onion bread and desserts are a must - specifically the banana cake and carrot cake. Recently my boyfriend and I tried the cheeseburger, and to us it was just as good as the real thing.”

“Food tastes great and big portions. Open late, lots of employees to get things done faster, clean dining area, refillable fountain drinks. Always love going here.”

“Umma's K-BBQ is delicious and does not disappoint! Orders (both regular and mini) are generous in size and extremely flavorful. Pricing is what you'd expect for the area (unfortunately).

“This has become our local go-to Thai restaurant and we love recommending it to friends.They are always so welcoming to our family, great place to bring kids. We've never gone with more than 5 people, but they have a couple spots where I think you could do a larger group.Everything we've had has been good. Our go-tos are the beef pad see ew and the roasted duck curry.”

“Craving some real-deal Korean food? You gotta check out this hidden gem in Lake Forest. It's a cool, quiet spot that's just perfect for a cozy dinner date or a small gathering. The vibe? Bright, energetic, and kinda modern. The staff? Super friendly and always ready to help, making the whole dining experience even better.Once you've made your food choice, they'll serve you four small dishes of kimchi to start off your meal. If you're into these kinds of starters, I think you'll really enjoy them. The food portion is just right for one person, and the price is pretty moderate - you definitely get your money's worth of delicious Korean food. The presentation is traditional, with food served in stone plates and pots. And if you're a tea lover, they've got you covered with a mid-size flask ready for you.The place has a mom-and-pop feel to it, and because of the traditional way they serve food, you might walk out with a slight whiff of Asian cuisine on your clothes and hair. So, if you're all dolled up for a fancy event, you might wanna hold off on your Korean food cravings. But hey, don't let that stop you from coming back. Trust me, it's totally worth the visit. And you know what? I know I'll be back soon for more authentic Korean food.”

“Curry pizza is a nice edition to our Lake Forest offerings of hip food! The pizza came out with a crisp bottom, dough and cheese were super fluffy and soft, and the crust was bomb and crunchy. We got the half-half pizza of Malai chicken and Curry Chicken Masala. The flavor of the Curry Chicken Masala was better. Overall I liked the pizza except for the dry chicken breast pieces. The chicken came in cube shapes and was dry, and maybe next time I'd prefer to get a vegetarian pizza without the dry chicken. We also got an order of 20 wings! And I actually thought the wings were wayy better than the actual pizza. The flavor on the wings was packed compared to the pizza. The pizza had a lighter offering of flavor. If you'd prefer to just try Indian flavors and want to order a variety so you can try every Indian flavor, then I definitely reccommend the wings over the chicken.”

“Chelsea was wonderful! She was kind and quick, she was able to handle a line full of hungry customers and phone orders all as a one girl show! Keep up the good work!”

“I've been coming here since it opened, and the delicious food, atmosphere, and service are all the best! The ingredients we are particular about are all wonderful.”

“I had the pho with rare beef slices and lean brisket. The noodles were a bit chewy for my liking and the meat was ok. My favorite part about the pho was the broth. I also had the garlic noodles with meat. The noodles tasted delicious but the meat had a weird after taste. Overall, the place was good. Def would recommend the garlic noodles.”

“Solid bakery with better than your average ingredients. If you love hojicha green tea this is a speciality of theirs. Drinks, sandwiches and plates are all of good quality. Upscale cafe. At night this location turns into Brio Baru as well.”

“First time trying Handel's and I completely get the hype! There are so many flavors that it's kind of overwhelming to choose. I went with Banana Cream Pie which tasted just like the real thing in ice cream form! My husband loved his rocky road. Love the generous scoops! There are some tables outside where you can enjoy your ice cream. I'll be back to try more flavors!”

“One of, if not the best places in South OC. Great drinks, amazing food with lots of variety, and the service is always top notch. Such a great spot for any occasion. The atmosphere fits a date night, after work drinks, brunch with friends and the list goes on and on.”

“amazing service high-quality was delicious really appreciated the customer service Alex and Alejandro we're great at customer. Service gave amazing food and we're very fast.good ambiance cause not too many ppl here”

“Came on a whim and discovered a local gem. Ordered a veggie pizza and I gotta say, one of the better ones I've tried as of late. Dough was airy and ingredients were balanced. The pink sauce was surprisingly a win for the taste buds and we're sure to return for Jay's pizza. Decor was vibrant and atmosphere was fun with an attentive staff.”

“Vinny and his Dad are great. It's a family owned place we have been visiting for years. The garlic pasta that comes on the side of most dishes is so good you won't believe it.”

“Food is absolutely delicious. My first time here I'm staying in the nearby hotel the beef satay, and the chicken satay are out of this world. The pate was a little different, but very taste didn't have peanuts and it was premixed.”

“Great food and reasonable prices! Lunch buffet was $16.95 when I went today on a Saturday. Buffet included standard Indian lunch buffet options that were very tasty. Lots of really good vegetarian options! Most were not spicy, but the ones that are spicy are not labeled so be sure to ask about spice levels if you can't tolerate spice. Their rice pudding was very "watery" at first glance, but it turns out they just use a lot of milk/cream instead of water (plus a lot of other things like cashrews and raisins!), so it was actually very delicious. Waitstaff were very nice. Their dinner entrees are good too, and reasonably priced. Some of their entrees look small at first since since they serve them in bowls, but it's actually deep bowl containing a sizable portion. The only "problem" is finding the restaurant is somewhat hard since it's tucked away behind two shopping plazas, so it's easy to miss.”

“I came in to pick up food. We had never been here before but happy to see a new BBQ place in the area. I got an assortment of meats and sides to try--brisket (amazing), sausage (so delicious with the mustard sauce they have), and pulled pork, which was very also good. There was a spicy BBQ sauce, regular BBQ, and the mustard. I think the regular was our favorite. As to the sides, the mac and cheese and spicy coleslaw were the best. The customer service was wonderful. The young woman behind the counter took her time with me and answered all my questions. We will be back when it is time to splurge again.”

“When we ordered our food the cashier got our order wrong and then Vincent fixed my order and then delivered my food to my table which I thought was so nice. He was also so friendly!Parking: It’s amazingKid-friendliness: Yea”

“I have been going here for years - since I was a kid to be exact! This was when their walls used to be a medium shade of pink lol. My dad was a huge pho enthusiast and this was one of his favorite spots.After my dad passed away when I was 10, we stopped going. We continued on with our lives and I eventually found myself living in LA for 3-4 years and moved back to OC in 2020.I drove by the shopping center soon afterwards and saw that it was still open! So, I went in and tried it again. Their fresh spring rolls are always* tasty. I LOVE their combo fried rice and their fresh coconut juice. I'm one of those customers that once you find your favorite dish, it is hard to try another one because you just can't get enough of it. I am not a big pho fan like my dad was, but whenever we went here it was like a trip to Disneyland for him LOL.They never changed anything about their food or service since I was a kid. To be exact, I must've been 6-8ish when we began going. I'm turning 27 this year. To say that about a restaurant shows how much they value quality.”

“Our Place Lake Forest is a great neighborhood Bar/Restaurant. The staff is very friendly and they take good care of the customers. I host an Open Mic there on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday every Month. It is always Taco Tuesday when I am there. I get the Beria Tacos and they are delicious. Our Place has great music on many other nights. They also have comedy nights and are great supporters of the LGBTQ community. The owner cliff is a great guy and does an awesome job of running the place. I highly recommend Our Place.”

“I was really happy with the food and the service, and the lunch special was reasonable. . A colleague of mine recommended the meatball sandwich, which is a little unique. It has sautéed peppers in it. A Delicious twist. I really enjoyed it. My company always gets Catering from here, their empanadas are fantastic. The food was so good that I brought a group of colleagues back the next day. I tried the pastrami sandwich, which was good, but not as good as the meatball.”

“It's never crowded here but the food is amazing. Best Greek salad I've ever had. The sliders are amazing. That's all I've tried so far but they are batting 1,000 on those two things alone!”

“Been many years since i've been back to this little place. Since a Tesla charger here, I'm back. This place deserves stars and credit for what it is. The prices are very reasonable for this day and age. It's not fair to compare it to Javier's or El Ranchito. It's Just good, takeout, old school Mexican food cooked fresh. Salsa is very good.”

“Amazing!!! Always great food and the employees are absolutely the best. Always friendly etc. I go there every time I am in the area. Restaurant is always clean and the salsa bar is to die for.”

“Came here midweek and it was pretty quiet inside the restaurant, but a lot of pickup orders were being made throughout our dinner. Ordered the grilled pork chop and the Grilled Beef Short Ribs. Both were very good, but I would definitely order the pork chops again due to it being on the bone, and serving size. The short ribs were already taken off the bone, and didn't seem to offer as much protein as the chops. Also ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls, which were just ok, I don't think I'd order them again. Overall, I'd give this place a solid 4, for flavor and price point. Service was a little rough around the edges, but, nothing we couldn't get over.”

“The food is really good, super tasty and the salsa is great i always take the green but the red salsa is really delicious, the food came to me with great service friendly people.”

“Pretty good food. But if you get it to go, the stuff spills everywhere because their containers aren’t very good. The shrimp scampi sauce was tasty but I expected real fresh shrimp not baby shrimp that was probably frozen.It’s a good bang for your buck. Haven’t tried the pizza yet but definitely will”

“Great dive bar with great staff. Maddie any Nicole are always great and helpful even on the busier nights. I work too late to ever try the food but it's a fun place to hang and chill with ”

“Best Chinese I've had since living in Orange County. Portions are good. Garlic chicken was great when eating in restaurant but take out didn't have enough sauce.”

“Hard to explain how happy Asia Buffet makes me. I'm a little biased because I grew up eating "panda express" buffet style Chinese food. From the elevator music, heat lamps, and diverse crowd Asia Buffet felt like home. Nothing fancy, no judgements, no BS. This is hard working comfort food. I was impressed but my expectations were pretty low going in. There is way more variety than I expected. Pizza, french fries, fish, sushi, ribs, chinese, korean, dessert, ice cream, and more were an absolute delight to the senses. The garlic bread was a sleeper hit - buttered on both sides by the way. Everything was actually pretty decent. Two highlights were the shrimp (2 kinds) and crab. A welcome surprise for this price point. Another hit were the fried chicken wings. 5 spice seasoning and juicy on the inside - blissful. The large evening crowd meant high turnover for the food, so new trays were coming out constantly. A cool aspect was how diverse the patrons were. I love to see folks from different cultures and walks of life dining together. This is a place I would normally pass on, but for many community members it's an important local spot. I was admittedly afraid of...stomach complications. Thankfully, we were fine! Will definitely be back to feed the soul. Also dip your donuts in your ice cream and come back and thank me later.”

“Food was great Service was okey with the exception that they kind of pushing us to finish and go. We went at around 8:00pm so they were about to close the kitchen but it was uncomfortable rushing everything.”

“Amici pizza most delicious pizza in Lake Forest. Great and very friendly delivery guys. We love Ameci Pizza and Pasta! We always get the pasta we choose. We have also had their veggie pizza, which were wonderfully cheesy and the pizza was delicious as well. Everything has great flavor and the staff is always very friendly and accommodating. Thank you, Amici pizza You guys deserve five stars. *****”

“I love this place. Their food is reasonably moderate and healthy. Any time we feel having cold, weak, of after a hard working day, come this dish to support our bodies with healthy nutrition. The people work there are humble, friendly and professional. I highly recommend. Their place is always clean. Thank you for your service .”

“Located inside a quiet plaza. Plenty of free self parking. Also, there are Tesla chargers if you need to charge.Nice interior decoration.Friendly service.Food is very tasty.Lots of Afghani people eat there so it must be authentic.Very reasonable prices and portions.Was there for Ramadan iftar buffet. $30/adult $20/children”

“I tried the pork XLB (9 pieces for $9.99) and the chive and pork dumplings (12 pieces for $10.99). The XLB were delicious! The skin was thin, and the pork was so flavorful (maybe a little on the salty side though). There was some juice inside, although I would have loved more juice! The chive and pork dumplings were just ok. It’s a no-frills kind of restaurant”

“This is the best burger in Orange County! The people working here are genuinely kind and helpful.The location isn't great but they should not deter you from trying this gem out!I suggest the Hole in the Wall Burger and the Carne Asada Fries.”

“Not sure if my review was posted but....Will come here again... Alonzo was an excellent waiter....very kind and patient..took the time to answer my questions and made sure I had a good dining experience... The loaded baked potato was delicious.. perfect place for a birthday dinner...”

“I was back at Angelo's Burgers for a breakfast sandwich. I got the steak, egg and cheese. Next time I will omit the lettuce and tomato but I like to try something new the way it is presented. It was a New York streak, not sliced meat. It was pretty good. The staff is helpful, patient and friendly. It's an order at the counter and have a seat kinda place. I got mine to go”

“We had the grilled pork jowl salad and the beef shanks panaeng stew. The food tasted great, the flavor was intense. We enjoyed both entrees very much. The waitress was friendly and helpful. Two things we didn't like though: 1) the food came out very slowly. I didn't time it, but it was long enough for us to keep wondering if they've forgotten us. But we looked around and noticed that other patrons didn't have their food either. Then after my wife's entrée came out, we still had to wait for some time for my entrée to come out. If my wife had started eating right when her entree came out, she would've finished by the time my entree came out. 2) No public restroom.”

“On our recent visit to Crumbl Cookies, my wife and I were treated to an exceptional experience. We decided to go for the timeless classic - chocolate chip cookies. To our delight, they were just as we hoped: warm, soft, with chocolate chips that seemed to dance on our taste buds. Paired with the cool, refreshing milk, it was a match made in heaven.But what truly set this visit apart was the service. The staff member who helped us was not only friendly but genuinely nice, making our experience even sweeter. It's rare to find a place that hits the mark on both quality treats and customer service, but Crumbl Cookies did just that.For anyone in search of delicious cookies and a welcoming smile, look no further. Crumbl Cookies won't disappoint!”

“This is a great little place. As soon as you walk you are greeted by a staff member, usually they're come from the kitchen because they seem to constantly be running food out to the tables.They typical Pho Soup w chicken is pretty good, and I would highly recommend the extra spare ribs! They are amazing!. Now back to the soup, like most places, the deep flavor comes from the sauces, bean sprouts,mint and of course jalapeños!.The tables are clean, and the utensils are bountiful with a tin on each table with chopsticks and such. This is a great place.”

“It was my first time ordering baked goods from Brianna and I made the right choice! The sugar cookies were tasty and it wasn't too sweet. I ordered a two cakes too and she did a good job on the designs! They tasted good too that even one of my cousins took her business card. Also, she was very professional and answered all my questions thru email or text. I would definitely order again from Brianna!”

“First time here. I was craving a deli sandwich. I googled it and ended up here.I checked out the menu beforehand and was set on a turkey bacon avocado sandwich. But when I walked in I saw a poster for a Reuben sandwich. And that's when I got.The sandwich was super good. Great flavor. But as you can see from the picture, I certainly wish there was more meat. But for the bread it seemed okay. I think next time I'll ask for double meat.Of special note.... The person at the register was super nice, super helpfu,l very cheerful. That's what makes me want to go back again.I enjoy small businesses and supporting them as much as I can.”

“One older lady didn't realize her voice was carrying through the entire cafe, so everyone heard her conversation about post partum issues her younger relative had, unfortunately. There are very few outlets for laptops, so if you're planning to work/study, come with your laptop fully charged and be prepared to leave your device plugged in next to someone else. Coffee was good and staff were very friendly and kind.”

“Out of all the Filipino spots in Lake Forest, this is my favorite one because the food is good, the place is clean and the people are really friendly. I will be back!”

“Delicious board and brew sandwiches wraps salads quick service always fresh and delicious. Also has a bar inside with beer and wine. Can sit indoor outside on the patio take it to go or enjoy the ambience and the music.”

“This was a surprise birthday gift from my hubby to me. Being diabetic, it's been really hard to get a birthday cake for me. He drove an hour there and an hour and a half back just to surprise me. He bought me a banana bread and a vanilla cake with strawberry The banana bread was a little dry but the taste was still good. It was a little more solid than we were used to. The birthday cake was fantastic. It was moist and soft and the cream was delicious!!! There was a layer of strawberry jam in it. And I can't stop saying how delicious thay was. I wasn't personally there at the bakery so I cannot comment on service and ambiance.”

“I love krak, but for some reason there are no trash cans?Dietary restrictions: The label if something has dairy or not.Kid-friendliness: Games on the tables, like cards”

“I had an interview was supposed to meet at Starbucks this sweet little place across the parking lot outside water fountain bench's and the baked goods to die for it was a perfect spot for my interview I'll be back to try more of there delicious things I had a breakfast crescent with egg and sausage along with a chocolate chip scone and a coffee with some amazing creamer this quaint spot out of know where I give 5 stars thank you for the sweet experience today”

“One of the best chili burgers in the world I've been going here since I was 16 and I'm now 65 love the chili fries with onions. It is just a fantastic place.”

“The food was really good. Burger has a tasty charbroiled flavor to each bite. Chile cheese fries were very good. Not 1 dry bite. First time eating here. Would return again.”

“Very nice manager on duty Ty for the salad dressing. Didn’t expect good customer service but was happy to get it. Very kind. Ordered the chicken and shrimp tostada also pleasantly surprised at the quality of the shrimp so I had to leave a review. I don’t get his name but he was working the counter yesterday when I came in for lunch. I’ll come in more regularly to patronize this establishment because I believe in supporting businesses/franchises that still value customer service and courtesy with patrons. Here’s a picture of my order. Thank you!”

“This is the only Starbucks in the area that has my order ready when the app says it will be ready. This is also the only store in the area that consistently doesn't burn my espresso. Everyone there is just consistently awesome.Extra kudos to everyone working this morning. I wasn't late to work and my coffee was legendary as always. Thanks!”

“This is a small sushi restaurant we almost passed up looking for a bigger venue. We are glad we stopped in. The food was delicious (we loved the house salad, even my kids that don't veggies). The place is run by a husband and wife team so be patient with them, the service is personable but a tad slow. They were really nice and I could tell they had regulars. The sushi was fresh and very affordable. My family of four ate and the entire bill including the tip was less than $95. Usually, it will cost us more than $125 per meal at most sushi places for my family. Highly recommended.”

“Arby's is no longer a myth to me. I finally dined at Arby's for the very first time it was a great experience. This location in Foothill Ranch was super clean, and the service was great. I have always wondered what goes on at Arby's because it never seemed busy. Even the drive-through was empty most of the time. I was pleasantly surprised that the Ruben sandwich was pretty good. The fish sandwiches were not bad either. The basic roast beef was basic, but the curly fries and mint shake was a great complement.”

“Having ate at the restaurant for quite a while, I always appreciate the food that is served there as comforting and warm. While the food obviously isn't the healthiest, that's a given considering it's a fast food restaurant. Overall, the warm feeling of the food and the quick service from the cashiers and drive through workers contribute to an overall good environment that can help with long work days.”

“Just went through drive through. Pretty quick but I got the cheese bites and fish sandwhich. I had to wait for it to be made but it was hot. That's always a plus.”

“The restaurant was very clean, when I ordered, Mary was very friendly with a very good attitude, while I was waiting for my order I went to the bathroom and I was surprised by how clean it was. It's very rare to see such clean bathrooms in fast food restaurants... which I really appreciate.Excellent place to eat quietly”

“Came in to try an Impossible Burger as we are not eating meat at the moment.I asked for a double "meat" impossible burger. Pickles tomato, lettuce wrapped.It was quite good. I had an Impossible burger at Red Robin and really enjoyed it.It was pretty good. Needed a little salt which I added. Good option for "meat" if you're looking for one.”

“Always enjoy del Taco when I'm out west. They really put Taco Bell to shame. Service at this location was outstanding. The time from placing my order until I received my order was less than 2 minutes. Outstanding job guys!”

“Food, it's a Panera. Service, it's a Panera.Atmosphere. I spend almost every evening here, pounding away at my computer, while my daughter takes ballet lessons nearby. I am always impressed with the staff here. They seem happy and they genuinely seem to enjoy working together.In a time when it is difficult to get people to work and not be miserable, this place is a breath of fresh air. It is clear that several are friends and they all seem to have mutual respect for one-another and enjoy eachother.Management has it figured out. I have seen that they treat the employees with respect, and they get the job done while being friendly and kind. This is difficult to teach and I believe the managers have figured it out and are good leaders.Strong work on all levels!”

“This is well run establishment with tasty coffee. It may not please all the coffee connoisseurs but what do they expect? It's Dunkin! I enjoy the service there too, particularly Sierra who provided top notch customer service and the latté was yum . I look forward to coming back soon.”

“Way better than the Del Taco across the street. Our regular orders are just chicken soft tacos and the chicken burritos, and the ones from this location have actual fillings inside. We happened to go to the other one (the Del Taco by the Mobil gas station) last week and the tacos were about a tablespoon of chicken, and almost no lettuce or tomato or cheese.”

“Really 4.5 stars, but they deserve the rating. The food was delicious, the management was friendly, and my order couldn't have been more perfect, keep up the great work!Note: this is based on a single visit and one's experience may vary”

“A small authentic Guatemalan restaurant with delicious food. It was my first time trying Guatemalan food, my family is from Obregon, mexico so I wasn't expecting much of a difference but I am pleased to say it was different.My favorite dish was actually the one my friend got. It was a tostada with shredded beats and some type of cheese I have never had but the mix of both ingredients was heaven. I got the Chile Rellenos which was stuffed with ground beef. It was delicious. The rice was full of flavor to! if you know me you know I wont ever eat the rice because it doesnt usually have flavor, but this one WOW!There was two lovely ladies when I went, who make everything by hand. To go to the restroom you actually go through the kitchen so you can see them working away.I will definitely be coming back. only thing is it's pretty small. if you decide to dine-in just know there are 4/5 tables available only.”

“I recently had the pleasure of trying Crumbl Cookie in Lake Forest, and these cookies are truly addicting - from the moment you take your first bite, you'll find it hard to stop.What I love most about Crumbl Cookie is their convenient online ordering system. I was able to easily browse their menu, select my cookies, and schedule a pick-up time that worked for me. When I arrived at the store, the customer service was top-notch - Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum!!! And if you don’t know who the Cookie Monster is shame on you.”

“Fabulous food. We did door dash for the menudo and it was so good. That evening I went in for a quick margarita and chimichanga! SO GOOD! Mario was my server at the bar! He was quick, pleasant, and made a perfect strawberry margarita! Highly recommended ?Parking: I was able to parknright in front of the entrance and the time I arrived was at 8 pm”

“Prompt and friendly service from people who appear to be enjoying their work. Clean and modern decor feels comfortable too. The food is good but a bit pricey and not quite as tasty as some of the more authentic, "hole in the wall" places you find in strip malls.”

“This is gem quickly has become my ‘Go To’ spot for margaritas and sports viewing. The drinks are fantastic and the service is exceptional! You can not beat the weekend buffet and made to order food items. They have a great happy hour and an amazing taco Tuesday! Please see for yourself! I promise you will not be disappointed!Parking: Parking is available in abundance”

“love the owners! they are so nice and sweet! this small business is so great. the food deals they have here is also so great and the food in general is phenomenal”

“If you're looking for a satisfying breakfast without breaking the bank, Cloud Cafe is the place to go. Their steamed omelet is not just delicious but also a healthy choice, thanks to the steaming method. Another standout is their French toast with fruit topping, which is both tasty and generously portioned. Highly recommended for a budget-friendly and flavorful breakfast experience!”

“No food like it. This is my favorite place to eat all time. It can be very healthy as well depending on if you get a lot of noodles or not. The service is always spot on and the freshly cooked food is one of a kind. 10/10 recommend.”

“I absolutely LOVE Peets coffee. Especially when in California! I'd take this iver Starbucks anyway, especially the sumatra. The Chai Latte is also delicious ?”

“Wow! What a place, some of the better hot chicken I've had, let alone in Orange County. The hot is a dry-rub and HOT. The fried onion is perfection, and I can't recommend coming here enough.They have a big menu, too, with a lot of variety.”

“This joint is serving up real ingredients prepared like that Peruvian uncle I never had. I was impressed by the actual hand cut yucca vs some other joints precut yucca. That green sauce is obviously made in house and done right. The ceviche isn’t the prettiest I’ve eaten, but ranks high in the yum factor. Definitely a restaurant worth another visit.”

“Food is delicious!! Very friendly staff and the ambience is good. Food truck parked across from the El Toro library so they have stools for you to enjoy your food warm. Incase you were wondering they take cards and cash as payment.”

“Omg. The food here is soooooo good. I love mama's scampi. Gotta love spicy though. My son loves the fried rice. The amount is huge. There is a soup their chupa de Cameron that is to die for!”

“Cuca's is an excellent mexican restaurant in Foothill Ranch. My family has been eating here for years and never had a bad meal. The customer service is always great and the food is awesome. My go to is the taco & enchilata combo, but everything we've had there has been good! It's a small, uassuming little restaurant in a strip mall, which is well worth checking out.”

“Went here for the first time today because I was in the area, and I was really happy with the food. The chicken bowl was delicious and reasonably priced! I would come back here in a heart beat and would love to try some other things on the menu. Appreciate that the business is health conscious too!”

“Not sure if my review was posted but....Will come here again... Alonzo was an excellent waiter....very kind and patient..took the time to answer my questions and made sure I had a good dining experience... The loaded baked potato was delicious.. perfect place for a birthday dinner...”

“Great food and reasonable prices! Lunch buffet was $16.95 when I went today on a Saturday. Buffet included standard Indian lunch buffet options that were very tasty. Lots of really good vegetarian options! Most were not spicy, but the ones that are spicy are not labeled so be sure to ask about spice levels if you can't tolerate spice. Their rice pudding was very "watery" at first glance, but it turns out they just use a lot of milk/cream instead of water (plus a lot of other things like cashrews and raisins!), so it was actually very delicious. Waitstaff were very nice. Their dinner entrees are good too, and reasonably priced. Some of their entrees look small at first since since they serve them in bowls, but it's actually deep bowl containing a sizable portion. The only "problem" is finding the restaurant is somewhat hard since it's tucked away behind two shopping plazas, so it's easy to miss.”

“First time trying Handel's and I completely get the hype! There are so many flavors that it's kind of overwhelming to choose. I went with Banana Cream Pie which tasted just like the real thing in ice cream form! My husband loved his rocky road. Love the generous scoops! There are some tables outside where you can enjoy your ice cream. I'll be back to try more flavors!”

“Came here midweek and it was pretty quiet inside the restaurant, but a lot of pickup orders were being made throughout our dinner. Ordered the grilled pork chop and the Grilled Beef Short Ribs. Both were very good, but I would definitely order the pork chops again due to it being on the bone, and serving size. The short ribs were already taken off the bone, and didn't seem to offer as much protein as the chops. Also ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls, which were just ok, I don't think I'd order them again. Overall, I'd give this place a solid 4, for flavor and price point. Service was a little rough around the edges, but, nothing we couldn't get over.”

“Wow! What a place, some of the better hot chicken I've had, let alone in Orange County. The hot is a dry-rub and HOT. The fried onion is perfection, and I can't recommend coming here enough.They have a big menu, too, with a lot of variety.”

“Would have liked if the server checked if u needed anything else after bringing my pho. I was the only customer when they 1st opened. Had to go up and pay the bill.Parking: Small lot. Cramped spots. Busy lot.”

“I tried the pork XLB (9 pieces for $9.99) and the chive and pork dumplings (12 pieces for $10.99). The XLB were delicious! The skin was thin, and the pork was so flavorful (maybe a little on the salty side though). There was some juice inside, although I would have loved more juice! The chive and pork dumplings were just ok. It’s a no-frills kind of restaurant”

“Halal food Alert!!All halal foodies, this place offer turkey, steak and halal chicken. The owner confirmed that the food is halal.It was not only halal, it was yum! I don’t know why they don’t display a sign of halal. It’s a must go”

“amazing service high-quality was delicious really appreciated the customer service Alex and Alejandro we're great at customer. Service gave amazing food and we're very fast.good ambiance cause not too many ppl here”

“Came on a whim and discovered a local gem. Ordered a veggie pizza and I gotta say, one of the better ones I've tried as of late. Dough was airy and ingredients were balanced. The pink sauce was surprisingly a win for the taste buds and we're sure to return for Jay's pizza. Decor was vibrant and atmosphere was fun with an attentive staff.”

“really good bbq pork and roasted duck served with white rice and veggies. few items sold out around 2 pm, so gotta come a bit early. would come back again to support this small family business”

“I was back at Angelo's Burgers for a breakfast sandwich. I got the steak, egg and cheese. Next time I will omit the lettuce and tomato but I like to try something new the way it is presented. It was a New York streak, not sliced meat. It was pretty good. The staff is helpful, patient and friendly. It's an order at the counter and have a seat kinda place. I got mine to go”

“Food is amazing great quality and the service is amazing, Gary knew everything about every sandwich suggested what he thinks is best and is a very nice guy highly suggest going her for very good food and great customer service.”

“The food was delicious and the portions were large, but the website is awful! We went online to decide what we wanted, and then call our order in, but all they have is pictures of the dishes and the name of the dish. There is no description of what the individual dishes include or what type of meat (or how it's prepared) of any of the dishes ‍ there were three different chicken, kebabs dishes, but I didn't know what the differences were. The gentleman that answered the phone and took our order was very kind and explained the differences. I think the website has been changed because we ordered from here before and I don't remember that being an issue.”

“Great selection of goodies and easy to access off the 405. Plenty of parking. No herbs or steps to negotiate if you're in that situation. Checkouts can get busy on occassions.”

“Wow! What a place, some of the better hot chicken I've had, let alone in Orange County. The hot is a dry-rub and HOT. The fried onion is perfection, and I can't recommend coming here enough.They have a big menu, too, with a lot of variety.”

“Delicious board and brew sandwiches wraps salads quick service always fresh and delicious. Also has a bar inside with beer and wine. Can sit indoor outside on the patio take it to go or enjoy the ambience and the music.”

“On our recent visit to Crumbl Cookies, my wife and I were treated to an exceptional experience. We decided to go for the timeless classic - chocolate chip cookies. To our delight, they were just as we hoped: warm, soft, with chocolate chips that seemed to dance on our taste buds. Paired with the cool, refreshing milk, it was a match made in heaven.But what truly set this visit apart was the service. The staff member who helped us was not only friendly but genuinely nice, making our experience even sweeter. It's rare to find a place that hits the mark on both quality treats and customer service, but Crumbl Cookies did just that.For anyone in search of delicious cookies and a welcoming smile, look no further. Crumbl Cookies won't disappoint!”

“Curry pizza is a nice edition to our Lake Forest offerings of hip food! The pizza came out with a crisp bottom, dough and cheese were super fluffy and soft, and the crust was bomb and crunchy. We got the half-half pizza of Malai chicken and Curry Chicken Masala. The flavor of the Curry Chicken Masala was better. Overall I liked the pizza except for the dry chicken breast pieces. The chicken came in cube shapes and was dry, and maybe next time I'd prefer to get a vegetarian pizza without the dry chicken. We also got an order of 20 wings! And I actually thought the wings were wayy better than the actual pizza. The flavor on the wings was packed compared to the pizza. The pizza had a lighter offering of flavor. If you'd prefer to just try Indian flavors and want to order a variety so you can try every Indian flavor, then I definitely reccommend the wings over the chicken.”

“When we ordered our food the cashier got our order wrong and then Vincent fixed my order and then delivered my food to my table which I thought was so nice. He was also so friendly!Parking: It’s amazingKid-friendliness: Yea”

“A very nice and delicious gourmet Persian food restaurant , with excellent n quick service and genuine great staff and excellent prices for all budgets. See Mike for any of your questions or assistance with your order.”
