“The best bbq in the OC...“

“Amazing BBQ in Orange County. Fall off the bone ribs, tender brisket, moist BBQ chicken, pulled pork, juicy sausages. A real hidden gem. Highly recommended!“

“Visited Monday night, knowing it would be fairly quiet. Bartender Sandy greeted us and was attentive to us all evening. We had the best calamari ever and enjoyed everything we ordered. Please come visit us CIYC.“

“I had the pleasure of hiring Delanya's for a private event on July 12, 2025. They have the best Brisket in Orange County. I do not say this lightly as I have had some of the best BBQ in the country. I am a Master Pastry Chef and work for the Food Network, word of mouth is what keeps great small businesses thriving and although I almost never leave reviews this is definitely a must!“

“We had the pleasure to go to Cloud Naan Urban BBQ . We received the excellent service..By far it was the best BBQ, we have had. We highly recommend Cloud Naan for excellent customer service..“

“Had the brisket, Mac, and cornbreads. Love the chopped brisket. A little too fatty for my taste, but provided good flavor to the meat. BBQ sauce was very good - not too salty or sweet. Mac was good, with a little peppery kick to it. Both cornbreads were very good - the blueberry would be my choice over the honey. Overall, will definitely come back to try Lou’s other meats.“

“The tri tip I order today was amazing and the staff here are very respectful and attentive! Got a chance to try out the new bbq sauce recipe and it’s delicious! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend this restaurant for the bbq lovers“

“Hands down BEST Pit Builders in California! I spent 5 years researching and slowly deciding who and when to get my pit and after a lengthy process I’m more then thrilled to have my 120 Gallon Harper Pit! It’s a no brainer they are often imitated but never duplicated with their ingenuity and craftsmanship is second to none.“

“Good food,,friendly and accommodating staffs👍“

“The food is AMAZING ! The ribs, the Mac n cheese, the green beans, the cornbread, everything we had was over the top delicious and the service was great !! Our new favorite place ❤️“

“Wow!! I just wish we lived closer so we could come more often. This place was amazing to eat at during vacation. Me and my husband shared the brisket and tri tip. Both were phenomenal but we liked the tri tip a little more. The sides were delicious as well!! We tried the Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese, and creamy corn YUM!!! Our waiter was so friendly and great and letting us know what was more popular and she really helped us enjoy our food. We will have to visit again and eat here!!“

“First time there and will return to try other menu items. We tried the Valentines week special. House made kimchi was amazing. Not your standard kimchi presentation. Loved the large chunks of daikon radish! Great hospitality from the moment we entered the restaurant. We decided to Uber bc it was noted parking could be an issue. It made the evening a lot more relaxing and enjoyable; appreciate the restaurant giving the heads up about the busy plaza, especially at peak hours.“

“Well. My Girlfriend Julie & I Love Swim Together At The Beach. & We Can Dance At Sea Salt In Huntington Beach.“

“Great atmosphere great vibes Sammy Hagar did a great job in Hunt Bch“

“Service was amazing!!!! Shout out to Alexis the best sever in the WORLD!! Checked up on the table a couple of time to get us what ever we needed. 10/10 service!!!!! AND FREE REFILL!!!!! Our chef Nick was OUT OF THIS WORLD with all his jokes and games, he even GAVE US EXTRA GARLIC BUTTER. In conclusion this was a 10/10 experience 10/10 service and I haven’t talked about the food yet!!!!!! A must if you are in the area.“

“ONOLISCIOUSNESS KAU KAU TO DA MAX!!“

“A definite hidden gem. If you driving through the area def get yourself some tacos and you will not be disappointed. Had the pastor and the chicken tacos and loved both but that chicken with the extra sauce, bomb. Even the Jamaica was great n refreshing. Prices were reasonable and fair. Will be out there again pretty soon.“

“Great dinner and our server was super friendly“

“The food is really good prices did go up and I noticed the plates are smaller! Service is good very nice helpful people! I have never had an issue with my orders. The atmosphere is calm I was able to have a conversation while enjoying my food!“

“Their takeout is definitely worth trying! We ordered the roast pork with rice, which came with green beans. It was simple but tasty—though we would have preferred the pork warmed up. There wasn’t much seasoning, but the crispy skin and rich fat made up for it. We also tried the BBQ pork, which was nicely charred and tender. The added BBQ sauce had a subtle sweetness that paired well with the rice. It’s cash only, no tip expected, and the service was quick and easy.“

“I just bought some roast pork and roasted duck at this Hao Vi place yesterday 2/24/2024. Their food were very good as they advertised. The service was very nice and pleasant. Severs and cashier are very friendly and courteous. Definitely I will come back anytime when I am going to O.C.“

“Very good food & service.
Packed house even though we missed the Sunday dinner rush--we were seated smack in front of the wall & painted-over outlets, etc., very odd, do not recommend that table.
Wish it were closer to us.“

“Skyleur us the best. He is an awesome waiter. He remembered who I was from months ago. He makes the experience that much better! Thanks Skyleur!“

“This was my first time visiting I Can BBQ, a Korean all-you-can-eat BBQ restaurant. The location is great, the restaurant is very clean, and the interior design is really nice. The price is reasonable, but the quality of the meat is excellent. On top of that, the service was very good. I would definitely come back!“

“The cheeseburger was AMAZING!!!“

“Love Love the food and service. Especially the food ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹“

“If you’re craving teriyaki chicken and beef, this place is it. First bite, noticed how good the quality of meat is. The prices are so reasonable and good for how good the quality is and how filling it is. I got the beef and chicken plate and I usually eat a lot, but I was so full with a quarter of it still left. This was 1000% a solid teriyaki bowl and will come back for more.“

“The Best food especially the kimchi and cold noodle soup I’ve ever had. Bring your friends and family it’s a wonderful place to eat I’m going to be a regular here for my first time being here I was in heaven the menu is amazing you won’t be disappointed 😋😋😋😋😋“
