“My friends and I came here for dinner on a Saturday. Although it was busy, we still received great service. Our food and drinks were served at an appropriate time. The servers were very accommodating to different diets (someone in our group was vegan and someone else was pescatarian). There were various options for all! We also enjoyed a couple of rounds of drinks. They were all delicious! The restaurant has round tables that make you feel like you are eating at home. They also have outdoor seating. The restaurant is dimly lit, creating an intimate and relaxing ambiance.”
“Food was amazing. The oysters were absolutely fresh. The yellowtail was sear and seasoned well. The best part was the side salad. It was sweet with a little acidic bite.”
“Dinner And drinks with five people. I asked if I could get fresh linguini( which was offered on one of the specials that night) in a different dish. Server comes back and said no. Without an explanation. I’ve never been to a restaurant that didn’t try to accommodate a customer. That may have influenced my attitude toward the dish I ate but it wasn’t that flavorful (seafood and linguini).”
“Food and service so awesomeGreat place to go eat any day of the week. Catch up with family and have a good breakfast or lunch ?Kid-friendliness: Great spot for kids of any age”

I even got the baklava and it was so flaky and sweet. Definitely coming here again!”

“Tldr; great food, great experience. Highly recommended.We were there for the spring '24 menu and chose to get the sommelier pairing with it.The paired wines brought out the flavors in each of the dishes in unexpected ways (I'm not very familiar with wine but with how well this was done it's impossible to miss). The biggest change was the Moscato with the lemon olive oil dessert. The cake was understated... until I took a sip of the Moscato and all the flavors popped (which surprisingly is not technically dessert wine but worked really well).I got the Porterhouse, not the fish option, so I can tell you the steak was delicious, but can't speak to the fish.The biggest surprise of the night was the Blue Crab Agnolloti. I could eat a bucket of those.You can see the presentation was great (for all the dishes not just the one in the pics).Look, this is a great meal and the price will reflect that, but it was worth every penny. I've talked about the food already and hopefully got across that it was very good... but somehow the atmosphere of the place and the service were at least as good if not better.The wine cellar in the basement is where you start the night and it really sets the tone. Amazing wine options and a good whiskey selection (which is more my style) as well as some tasty charcuterie.The servers are professional, very knowledgeable, and pleasant. We even got to go back into the kitchen to meet the food wizards and get a peak behind the scenes.If you can swing the bill, I highly recommend it.”

“I've been coming here since a friend's suggestion last year and I am never disappointed in the slightest. Every piece of sushi I've had is so fresh and flavorful. They apparently get a lot of their fish straight from Japan.My favorite appetizers are the steamed abalone and monkfish liver. I would be happy only eating those, but you would be crazy to not get the omakase here. I got the garlic buttered clams on the house one time and it was also delicious.My very first visit had a long wait time outside but nowadays I just call in advance to reserve a seat. This is my first choice for sushi in Southern California.Dietary restrictions: They ask about any dietary restrictions in advance.”
“Food is good, my favorite is the black pepper chicken. Service is fast and friendly.Parking: Big lot can get busyWheelchair accessibility: All shops are accessibly”
“This one is real authentic Italian and wine selection is top of the Orange county. Wonderful thing is that price of foods and wine is extremely affordable. I have lived in Rome for 3 years and this one reminds me of my wonderful memories in Italy.”
“Great location. I'm new to ramen, but I'd probably come back. I wish the tonkatsu broth was a little bit richer, or that they had garlic or chili oil on the table to help pump up the flavor. Gyoza was good. Edamame was bland.”
“Food is Artful & DELICIOUS. Located in prime area of Old Towne Orange ? Plaza ⏺️ Historical ? District.House made Wine SANGRIA both Red & White is phenomenal and light. BEST WHITE PRICKLY PEAR SANGRIA this -side of Caratgena!Tequila options r plentiful. Bar area is a masterpiece. The whole atmosphere is Brilliant & Lovely Outside seating.Entire menus is full of creative options w/ very fresh and quality ingredients! Seafood is wonderful. Try the empanadas 2.Always GoodTimes cuz of the GoodVibes. Great crowd!Prolly sum of the BEST service around?Enjoy... bSafebHappybWell ?Parking: Limited front street parking BUT I'm rear City of Orange has public free ?️ arking lot.Handicap spots spread throughout.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to find Handicap parking usually.Getting to restaurant is level for most part.Has rear entry door. Lil cramped tho.Layout inside best upfront or at bar area.Also the patio can accommodate any needs.Staff is extremely observant & kind.”
“Kings Fish House is always a delightful dining option. My family has been eating here for decadesTheir seafood is some of the best. Their sushi is wonderful. We always throw in a platter of oysters when we go here and they are always fresh and tasty. And they throw in a tad bit o’cajun with their to die for Nawlins BBQ Shrimp. They start things off with most excellent house made sourdough bread served piping hot at the table. Service has always been lovely and professional.”
“I was visiting town and my friend and I were walking around the circle. Very cute area and then we saw this brewery. Of course we stopped by for happy hour! Very cool vibe in there. Lots of space! We sat at the bar and enjoyed some beers. We didn't have any food but it did look solid. What I really loved is they have special glasses for their regulars. How cool!!! I wonder how many times you need to show up to be a regular. Everything was great. Service was great. We had a nice time!”
“Met up with friends, had lots of catching up to do. We were not rushed at all, and they gave us lots of time to order and enjoy our late lunch. We had burgers and pasta, everyone enjoyed what they ordered. We ordered French press coffees, and those were good too.”
“Great food, fantastic portions and delicate pricing in todays economy. This combination makes Nguyen’s Kitchen one of my favorite go-to spots for a weekend meal”
“The BBQ was pretty good, we got the trio of meats so we got the barbecue chicken, the barbecue ribs and the brisket burnt ends were delicious by the way. They have a full bar good size restaurant. They also have axe throwing. Which made it super fun. Our service was awesome. Our servers were really cool. Super fun date night recommended and I will probably be back.”
“What a great spot. The inside is cozy and comfortable with a great views of the kitchen at work. I sat at the bar and watched the action. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the wine list was decent with an option to please everyone. The food menu had some of the best variety of tapas I'd seen in a while. It was hard to only order five things! You will spend a bit but it's worth every penny to try so many wonderful dishes. I don't eat gluten and I had no trouble finding safe options.”
“Overall great drinks, food and service. Our server Dylan was very attentive and was happy to recommend a variety of food and drinks. Stand outs were the fish tacos and beef sliders. Drinks both looked and tasted fantastic. Giving 4/5 stars only because there is a two-hour limit for free parking (you have to pay after the two hours) since the restaurant is located inside of a hotel so we felt like we couldn't really take our time as much as we would've liked. Otherwise everything about the restaurant itself was great!”
“There is a reason there is usually a line. You just can't beat the price to quality value. The food is hot, fresh and very tasty. Everything on the menu is very good. Would and will always recommend!”

“Best bread around... only place I find their bread these days is the Saturday morning farmers market in Orange by Chapman University off Palm in old town Orange. The line is always long for OC Baking Company so get there early. Our favorites are the huge loaf of French bread and the cranberry walnut bread. I usually by two or three loaves of each and freeze it all in smaller portions in zip lock bags. So many bakeries have skimped on ingredients and filled their bread with fillers and who knows what else. I hope OC Bakery never does that. They have a LOT of options. Mostly they sell their bread to businesses. Only Saturday to the public and as far as I know, only at the one location. During the insane shutdown they opened their warehouse to the public weekly. It was great. Try their bread!”
“Great service from conscientious, hard working employees. Atmosphere was clean and pleasant, location was convenient. Great selection of food, especially the burgers, which tasted great.”
“Food was hot, fast and fresh --- can't ask for anything more from a fast food establishment!On a sad note --- the price of the Del Taco increased a whole 33%!No longer a buck and a half!#☹️Parking: In a word --- PLENTY!”
“The guys working there are friendly and pay attention to what they are doing. I like that the place looks new and modern. A little dirty but not a big deal. Food is as expected they just need new soda options.”
“Good service,great food, and way better than their sister location off of 4th St. We drive a little further every time to come to this location. The staff and food are way better at this location.”
“I've from time to time come to Del Taco instead of Taco Bell, and find that though the advertised prices are cheaper at Del Taco, the amount of food one gets is far less and the flavor is not as strong.I usually get the beefy cheesy burritos from Taco Bell, the beef burritos at Del Taco are twice as expensive but not nearly as much food by weight.”
“This is a great hidden gem in old town Orange. Service is always fast, and the staff is very friendly. The food is really good quality, and the guacamole is a nice size for the price! Patio seating is great for people watching.”

“Delicious and authentic Mexican food is what you will find! We went on the weekend and it was hopping with happy families!We ordered their ceviche (shrimp and fish) and it came out so much better than expected and topped with a generous portion of avocado on top! As our mains we ordered the beef and chicken fajitas and menudo. Both came out hot and teaming with wonderful authentic flavors we know and love. We capped our meal off with the fried ice cream. A must for any meal ending! The ice cream is rolled in cereal for a wonderful crunch and cinnamon added to ignite your taste buds. So delicious and fun to eat!”
“Excellent Mexican food and a great fast casual spot in the circle! My favorite taco here is the Sonora taco which is on a flour tortilla, carbs asada, guacamole, beans, and cheese. It’s like a mini burrito to me and is a must try here! The camaron taco is amazing as well. Highly recommend trying!”

“The quality and taste of these alfajores is the best! I've ordered for holiday parties and Valentine's Day and they're always a hit. Definitely recommend!”
“This gem north of the orange plaza (circle) can't be beat! Authentic but also able to accomodate my special diet. Wonderfully prepared by a friendly couple who know food. Huraches, Sopes, Nopal, along with the usual. Im a fan of the Huevos Mexicanos and the Cactus and beefsteak.”
“Our dinner was delicious, as usual. The service was exceptional. Our waiter, Makeo, was amazing! He was friendly and attentive and made our night more pleasant. We also enjoyed the singer and belly dancer. They were both excellent performers. My 7 year old son didn't even need his tablet. My only regret tonight is not ordering the borani because we usually get it and it's soooo good. We had the koobedeh plates and soltani plate. Can't wait to go back!”
“this place has consistently good pizza. Growing up I was never allowed to eat pepperoni pizza since it was not Halal, and once i was able to find Halal pepperoni, it was still not that appetizing. All that changed with big Al’s pizza. Their beef brisket used to be my favorite, but now I like the simple pepperoni. The saltiness of the pepperoni complements the cheese and sauce so well. The crust is amazing and is chewy yet crispy. just recently I became pregnant and could not tolerate any food during my first and second trimester however, big Al’s pepperoni pizza saved me as it was one of the only foods I could eat. It was delicious and provided me some nutrition as well and I’m sure when my baby grows up inshallah, he too will love big Al’s pizza.Dietary restrictions: Halal”

“We stopped in here for breakfast twice on a recent vacation. There's plenty of parking, plenty of seating in the diner and it was fairly bust which created a good atmosphere. The food was great, really good hash browns, the omelettes were excellent and self serve drinks. The first time we ate it was excellent, the food was awesome and we couldn't find a fault with the service. The second time didn't the food wasn't hot when it came out and the gravy was just ok, not great. I would still go back though as it's a great location and the choice and quality of food was generally good.Parking: Free parking lot directly outside the diner”
“This place is so good you will always find a line. One of the few places left to go where all your money isn't taken from you for food worth half the price. Can't miss for burgers, fries and a shake.”
“Beers are all awesome as expected and the brewery itself is welcoming and relaxed. Great place to come try new beers and not feel dumb if you haven't tried many craft beers before. Iced tea and coffee for those not into the beer game. Definite must try in OC”
“I usually prefer espresso beverages over brewed coffee, but the way Philz makes their drinks makes me not miss the extra caffeine that espresso affords! I've had the chance to try a number of different blends at Philz--some of the standouts to me are the Ecstatic, Tesora, and Philtered Soul. Philz is typically fairly busy, so you will have to wait for your drink, but it is definitely worth it. Likewise, if you don't mind the hustle and bustle of the space with so many people being there, it can be a great place to get work done.”
“Second time coming and definitely love this place. Staff is very friendly and fast with service. Burgers and fries are delicious. Price is incredible, Also have to say the dining area is very clean. I will coming back for sure thank you!”
“Drive through. Service was great. Everything was as we ordered. Various takes on beef steak. Shredded, chopped or chunked. Seasoned deliciously. No beans or rice came with it (may not serve it) but we got tacos and the sandwich. Filled with beef, more than you'd expect and slightly spicy. So.. Good! ?”
“I'd never order a burger but I like the grilled cheese, fries and the chocolate shake for anyone who's vegetarian or doesn't eat meat its the one option we have.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheel chair accessible”
“man the lavender lemonade was so friggin good. you have to try that if u go. the cali veggie burger was deliciously crispy and the salad was yummy too. the price was honestly really good for the drinks. i'd come back for the burger too. lots of indoor and outdoor seating. no apple pay tho so come w cash or a physical card!”
““Worlds largest hot dog chain” and voted “Orange County’s best hot dog” (at least in the past), Der Wienerschnitzel holds a place in my heart as an old comfort food-Been eating these for 60 years and although I admit I often regret pigging out, especially a few hours later when my body is doing it’s best to digest all those elbows, beaks and armpits hot dogs are made of :)Still eat em monthly. Gotta have yer vices!Nom nom nom”
“Typical Orange County ? joint. Good inexpensive ? and ?near the Orange Circle. The area is very cool, but Omega should consider upgrading there interior and exterior and keep their place a little cleaner.”
“Although this Wienerschnitzel location is right off a busy street, it still had an easy access and plenty of parking. The atmosphere is somewhat marred by where it is situated, but the food and service was exceptional! Not quite 5 stars, but 4 stars is pretty darned good! Maybe just do the drive through?! Lol! Wonderful service for sure ?????Parking: And they even had several handicapped spaces! Nice!”
“This is the best location so far - we go out of our way to hit this location. There's a guy that works the drive thru in the evenings who always has a big smile and positive attitude - very courteous. They NEVER mess up our order and that is pretty amazing for Taco Bell. This location and the employees are the benchmark for what consumers should expect from Taco Bell.”
“Staff Julio displayed a level of polite and prompt customer service that you don’t get anymore at a fast food restaurant. Please consider promoting him or increasing his salary pay, I know your customers will be pleased.”
“fast fresh and clean. Prices are going up a little too much but everything's fresh made fresh cooked nothing microwaved, you have to wait to get served because it is all cooked fresh”
“Carmin assisted me with my Carl's Jr. App. and in doing so, noted that I substituted a Beyond Beef patty in a Sourdough sandwich. She astutely noticed, and found me while waiting, to inquire if I still wanted the bacon, since I had ordered a Beyond Beef burger. She kindly put the bacon on the side. Please thank her for her above-and-beyond care and concern.Vegetarian options: Beyond BeefDietary restrictions: Carl's is the first place I tried Beyond Beef and have been enjoying it here ever since.”
“I've been coming here since a friend's suggestion last year and I am never disappointed in the slightest. Every piece of sushi I've had is so fresh and flavorful. They apparently get a lot of their fish straight from Japan.My favorite appetizers are the steamed abalone and monkfish liver. I would be happy only eating those, but you would be crazy to not get the omakase here. I got the garlic buttered clams on the house one time and it was also delicious.My very first visit had a long wait time outside but nowadays I just call in advance to reserve a seat. This is my first choice for sushi in Southern California.Dietary restrictions: They ask about any dietary restrictions in advance.”
“Kings Fish House is always a delightful dining option. My family has been eating here for decadesTheir seafood is some of the best. Their sushi is wonderful. We always throw in a platter of oysters when we go here and they are always fresh and tasty. And they throw in a tad bit o’cajun with their to die for Nawlins BBQ Shrimp. They start things off with most excellent house made sourdough bread served piping hot at the table. Service has always been lovely and professional.”
“I was visiting town and my friend and I were walking around the circle. Very cute area and then we saw this brewery. Of course we stopped by for happy hour! Very cool vibe in there. Lots of space! We sat at the bar and enjoyed some beers. We didn't have any food but it did look solid. What I really loved is they have special glasses for their regulars. How cool!!! I wonder how many times you need to show up to be a regular. Everything was great. Service was great. We had a nice time!”

“I always order the same thing, a bean and cheese burrito also known as a burrito with no meat. They put onions, cilantro beans and cheese and it's absolutely delicious. All that for under $5. It comes with chips and salsa as well”
“Small all- day dumpling house. Menu has the essentials. Noodle soup. Xiaolong bao. Pan fried dumplings. Fried rice and chow mein.Excellent flavor. Fresh noodles. Temperature and consistency perfect.”
“Wow! Dennis and his team have got it figured out. I came here with my friends to try out different items. We ordered the soy garlic glazed salmon, garlic furikake chicken, garlic butter shrimp, chicken katsu sandwich, and the kalbi beef short ribs. We also ordered sugar, ube creme filled, guava creme filled, and mango creme filled malasadas. For our refreshments, two of us had limeades while my friend and myself had the ube horchata. Everything was delicious. We were very pleased with our orders. The salmon was my favorite. There's seating inside and outside. Best for parties of 2-4. Great for take-out. Service was friendly and quick. Free parking in the plaza.”
“Food is amazing and service is very attentive!!! Had the beef foo young, chicken foo young, Singapore vermicelli noodles, and cashew chicken...all sooooo good! I meant to take a photo of our food but we ate it all before I remembered!”
“Small ramen menu, recommended the spicy tuna rice. Only I do not like is their location. Have to wait outside the building until someone open the door for you.Also, they add 16.16% service charge in the bill. Have no problem with that since their service is not bad.”
“Heard about this super cool field trip for my Girl Scout troop and it did not disappoint!! Our teenagers loved rolling their own ice cream and it was so delicious and fresh ! Super friendly and awesome people ! Thanks to William for making it such an awesome time for my Girl Scouts before the crazy cookie season starts !!Forgot to add my Oreo coffee ice cream . Yummy !!”
“I wanted to try this place out, and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the enchilada platter and it came with rice and beans. My order was take out and portions were generous. The Enchiladas were delicious, I loved the red sauce and taste! Everything was neatly packaged for take home and included chips and salsa, my son ordered a burrito and he loved it. The girl at the counter was very nice too.”
“Mom and pop place. Nice couple and feiendly. Good flow of custimers. Spouse and myself traveling out of town( work related for spouse). His has been here 3 days in a row bought 2 dozens of donuts and a dozen of bagels for office people a shop crew.The donuts are not greasy and light.Parking: Area is safe and other businesses in the same plaza.”
“Love the out door patio and our server was very good. Enjoyed the happy hour pomegranate IPA. Plus their happy hour food is great. I recommend the fried deviled eggs, the loaded hush puppies and of course some traditional buffalo wings. Enjoy!”
“The young white guy working here needs a raise. He is a hard worker, polite, and does everything right. I want to hire him myself.The food is real good here. Best poke in the area for sure.”
“The food is made with lots of love and you can taste it!!! One of my new favorites....Vegetarian options: Wonderful vegetable salads and vegetable tempura, other items as well...”
“The ingredients look fresh, but the eggplant stir-fry smelled a bit like fresh food, so I wouldn't recommend it. The pad thai was okay, but the noodles were a bit soggy. The shrimp fried rice served was tasty. The free Thai tea was small, but delicious. Overall, it's good because the price is cheaper than the Anaheim area. The owner seems to be nice and the server is friendly.”
“Been going there for years and the food, service and atmosphere is always amazing. Recently had family in from out of town, total of 10 and they were great with us. My family loved the restaurant”
“The place is nice and spacious. They have cute murals and decorations. The staff is very friendly and accompdating. Kimberly helped me out and she gave me recommendations and let me know I can customize my drink's sweetness. I ended up with the lychee green tea! 10/10, will be coming back!”
“I was in the area checking out the Hillbert museum and came through the orange town square for lunch and a coffee afterward. Picked this spot among the many coffee options because of the high rating. It was stuffed with what I believe were either Chapman U students or local high schoolers, getting harder to tell the difference as I age. This is an all cold brew on draft place (also matches and non coffee cold drinks). No espresso drinks. My cold brew was very good with delicate flavors (had it black) the kids seemed to prefer the more sugary confections. Oh to be a student again! They also have a little stationary store in back.Vegetarian options: Coffee ☕️!Dietary restrictions: Caffeine!Parking: Street and lots.Kid-friendliness: SureWheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“Amazingly good with the sauces, the chicken breast they used for the chicken bowl was huge saw them put it on the grill. Thumbs up portion for $14.99 for chicken bowl and drink, big portion don’t miss out.”
“Met up with friends, had lots of catching up to do. We were not rushed at all, and they gave us lots of time to order and enjoy our late lunch. We had burgers and pasta, everyone enjoyed what they ordered. We ordered French press coffees, and those were good too.”
“Great ambiance, I watched football and a cover band, lots of space indoors and outdoor. Family friendly outside had heaters and games like big Jenga and corn hole.”
“Great food. Good staff.When the wine I was served was flabby from being opened too long, the waitress replaced it immediately with a glass from a newly-opened bottle.”

Kaigen
“$42 for 9 piece omakase consisting of 9 piece nigiri, miso soup, salad, AND hand roll sounds insane even if the food was mediocre, but it isn’t mediocre—fish tastes fresh and not “fishy” at all. Sure some may come with frills such as plum sauce, or yuzu salt, but nothing overpowering. Honestly everything from that set is pretty damn good and for $42, it’s a steal. Not much else needs to be said.Pro tip, for the hand roll, it asks for yellowtail or tuna but you can also request for blue crab which we opted for as we’ve had that in the past!”

Heemo sushi
“Had the Sushi rolls, shrimp tempura and gyoza all tasted great. Small area, long wait they were busy so expect to wait, unfortunately can’t check in online. Service was okay. Price average.”
“I'm a regular and pretty much everything I've had here is delicious. I recommend the Thai peanut bowl, chimichurri chicken melt, the tofu ranch wrap and the sweet potato fries! Yum!”
“Easily one of the best middle eastern restaurants on the west coast. Every dish is great but the baba ghanoush is incredible and lamb kebabs are so savory.Kid-friendliness: My kids love the rice, pita bread, and kebabs.”
“Love this place! Quality of the food is great, service is great! This place keeps my body looking sexy all month long! Im telling you guys, the wife loves it too! She cant get enough of the food or me at this point ive lost 20lbs now - So thank you BMMP!”
“The BBQ was pretty good, we got the trio of meats so we got the barbecue chicken, the barbecue ribs and the brisket burnt ends were delicious by the way. They have a full bar good size restaurant. They also have axe throwing. Which made it super fun. Our service was awesome. Our servers were really cool. Super fun date night recommended and I will probably be back.”
“Great selection of beers on tap. And a good selection of beers in the fridge that you can drink there. Plenty of Pliney too! I love this place to chill and have some good beers.”
“What a great spot. The inside is cozy and comfortable with a great views of the kitchen at work. I sat at the bar and watched the action. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the wine list was decent with an option to please everyone. The food menu had some of the best variety of tapas I'd seen in a while. It was hard to only order five things! You will spend a bit but it's worth every penny to try so many wonderful dishes. I don't eat gluten and I had no trouble finding safe options.”

Tartan Room
“Tartan room is our favorite restaurant for prime rib in all of Orange County drinks were amazing. The band sonoramics were excellent. I recommend The Tartan room to anybody that's hungry for steak prime rib good music and a killer ”
“Overall great drinks, food and service. Our server Dylan was very attentive and was happy to recommend a variety of food and drinks. Stand outs were the fish tacos and beef sliders. Drinks both looked and tasted fantastic. Giving 4/5 stars only because there is a two-hour limit for free parking (you have to pay after the two hours) since the restaurant is located inside of a hotel so we felt like we couldn't really take our time as much as we would've liked. Otherwise everything about the restaurant itself was great!”
“Good place to purchase delicious food , Bakery, delicious Deli, like Hams, Sausages,fresh baking Breads, Wery good see tions of Candy's,,Cookies and many delicious items you never trying before.I buying for many years in this store, always satisfied.”
“Spoons @ Ayres is a hidden gem and outstanding value for the hotel quests and the surrounding community. The meals are phenomenal and the service is excellent and second to none. Truly a first class experience. Shout out to Chef ??? Omar! He is an amazing and talented chef who is only going to continue to shine ✨. The cocktail ???? hour is also top shelf!Kid-friendliness: Outstanding kids menu and service. I’m truly impressed.”
“I purchased a spicy tuna roll w/out tip. I was pleasantly surprised by the respect and professional character of Sam's service while I wallowed from my previous mistakes in my life. I left a tip that I could afford since I am homeless. Suffice to say that I was recognized and recompensed with my tip in return and then some... This kind of service and hospitality is holy and beyond capitalism. May God bless this establishment and families tied to it. I am forever grateful.”
“I heard they had a self serve beer & wine tap so decided to stop by and try it out. You have to purchase a $20 pre-paid card and can get tricky trying to configure the amount when choosing what tastings to try, but it wasn't bad.We stood at the counter while a few employees were talking for a minute or two until someone turned around and noticed we'd been standing there, which isn't a big deal, just kind of annoying. Everyone seemed very nice though and they had good music playing inside. It felt very relaxed and the tables are clean, the tables outside looked nice on a sunny day although they were in the shade which was perfect.We actually really enjoyed trying different wines, but a lot of them are a little higher in cost than we would purchase normally. Overall we had a good experience and would love to come back to try their deli and some more beer/wine!”
“This is one of my favorite places to get sushi, but I live 3000 miles away from it. I make sure to get it every single time I visit my Aunt in California - it's mandatory! Giant portions of quality fish, creative rolls, and wonderful friendly staff slinging complementary salad and soup with most meals. Their portions of ginger and wasabi are more than enough; I never have to ask for more where I usually have to at other sushi restaurants. Even though it's a plain plaza on the outside you'll find cozy seating and and and awesome view of the sushi chefs at work. Give them a try!”
“This place was among the best Mexican places I've ever eaten!! Our server (Raymondo?) was super friendly. I had pork street tacos and bbq pork street tacos, SO YUMMY! One thing I recommend is putting a fresh slaw and cilantro crema atop...they'd be unbeatable.”
“Had a very good time here. The show was funny and interesting. You have to pay close attention and take notes. The food was good however the drinks were expensive and there was some confusion on validating my parking ticket at the Hotel. All in all a great experience.”
“The delicious meatballs and the birria, all fresh and tasty, my husband is a regular customer, until a few weeks ago when the Menudo came out in a super stinky state and he was left without eating because he takes his food to work, so be careful with that, and Be more careful. Other clients do not return.”
“The service and convenience of the location being next door to my fav garlic noodle place is genius!! I've always wanted an acai bow place open this late and my dreams have finally come true!!!everyone here is super nice and helpful. I'm a happy returning customer !! There's limited parking but enough seating and a restroom available!!!!”
“Great dining, atmosphere and staff. We were at the museum and walked over for lunch.This is a well run establishment with excellent staff. Worth your time and $$”
“Service was fast and friendly, food was good and at the right temp. Had the chips and salsa to start with a side of refried beans which I recommend you order; a cold chelada, which is beer and lime juice, that hit the spot on that warm day. The only thing I would say was a miss was the margarita, a bit too sweet for me, fixed that by switching to the chelada.”
“I had the breakfast burrito. Simple enough. Yummy and salty enough! There was a mixed green salad with a sweet citrus vinaigrette and verde salsa to accompany this potato, egg, bacon, chorizo, avocado salsa and oaxacan cheese burrito. It just hit all the right flavor notes!!Parking: It’s limited. The center fills up fast at meal times.”
“Our family came here on a Saturdaynight and had great service from Gerardo. He made sure to keep our waters filled, answered all of our questions thoroughly about the menu, and was prompt with taking our orders. He did a great job! Also the ambience of the restaurant was great with good music and lighting.”
“Cozy Italian bistro with excellent dishes, fresh ingredients, and wonderful staff! The team made us feel special and were attentive throughout the visit. I had the veal Parmesan and it was cooked to perfection. I also loved the minestrone soup! I will definitely be coming back!”
“Was happily surprised at the short wait time four Easter Sunday. Shrimp scampi and spaghetti with meat sauce was excellent. Waitress (Michelle?) was super attentive and checked in several times to see if we needed anything. We liked the food so much we took home one of the To-go meals for $6.”
“We usually come have a drink and a bite to eat before a show at the Honda Center. I like how quickly you can get a table, how fast the food comes out, and the service is always good. Today I decided to have the Spinach Chicken Salad. They did a good job of not applying too much dressing on the spinach to make it soggy. The chicken was a tiny bit dry, but it was still good. My friend ordered the chicken wrap with onion rings. The onion rings are FIRE! Perfectly fried! Our server Ro was a total sweetheart, and we made it just in time for our show. Great place to grab a drink, a quick meal, and plenty of TV's with all the sports you could ask for.”

Byblos Cafe
“Let me first state that my mother has been coming to this location since the early 80's. My husband and I have been dining here since 2019, so we felt it super fitting to have our rehearsal dinner for our March wedding at Byblos Cafe....and boy were we blown away with everything from the smallest details, like our personalized menus and cute bride and groom drawing, to the delicious food carefully prepared for our occasion.The entire process from start to finish was such a breeze (which is super helpful while planning your entire wedding!) and Susan was a complete dream to work with. The night of was filled with wedding day anxiety and such, but we were able to unwind with family and friends and enjoy a meal with wonderful food, incredibly thoughtful and friendly staff members, and even a special Turkish coffee reading for me (the bride :).So, if you are thinking of a cute, long time family owned (I still consider this a family ran business after hearing all the stories that night!) right in the heart of Old Towne Orange, look no further than Byblos Cafe. They will treat you like family and create for you an experience you'll never forget!”

Dynasty
“First of all very friendly staff, Service was top-notch, Food was hot and tasty. I forgot to take a photo. However we had the string bean and chicken, The lomein noodles, The orange peel chicken. It was all very good so much food I got to take some home and I'll have it for lunch later. I highly recommend this place it used to be called the fortune cookie and it's really a step up from that.”

Agua Pura
“I'm going to buy car products and the net ones are cheap because I've already bought in several places and compared prices and I think it's better to get the gallon ones $26The bottle ones are $12.I usually spend about $50 but it's worth it.”
“The sunset views are amazing! My dinner, the Chilean sea bass, was delicious and perfectly cooked. I really enjoyed the cocktails as well. I would definitely recommend this place for a date night!Vegetarian options: There are options for vegetarians.Dietary restrictions: There are non dairy items.Parking: Valet only, the cost is $9.”
“This is my first time visiting Market Broiler restaurant and Red Lobster is not the only restaurant with Caribbean rock lobster. This restaurant, Market Broiler has rock lobster on the menu. Everything and this whole place is all clean and cozy. The staff are friendly service and they are nice. Especially they are good at listening to our requests like we need napkins, water refill and requesting food-to-go as long as you have to say the magic word, "Please."Everyone needs "please" to show the sincere politeness. Do not be rude and bossy. Just politely request what you need as long as you say "please" and remain calm while keeping up with good, calm, polite manners. You have to be on your best, good, calm, relaxing, polite, nice behavior and attitude as a good customer so the staff service will do excellent service to you.That was my advice to all of you if you wanted to be treated by staff's hospitality and excellent service.And as for the food I ate, they are extremely delicious and I scale that lobster roll taste 5 out of 5 stars.I'm rating that place 5 out of 5 stars if you are lobster lovers, foodie fans and foodie tasters. Especially it is one of the best seafood restaurants that have Maine lobster and Caribbean rock lobster.”
“Went to the store in Santa Ana on Main street. Bought just one link of the semi-spicy chorizo to try it. It was great...not only the flavor, but also the texture was great. Great mouth feel. I cooked it with the casing on, in a frying pan on top of my stove starting with a little water and then kept cooking after the water evaporated. I cooked it too much, probably, but did want it well done...being pork and all. I'll be buying more. Going to try the mild and maybe the very spicey versions next. BTW these areOTHING like the kind you buy wrapped in plastic in WalMart or other stores. Those are much more "liquid" and almost like spicy gravy. They have their place, but hese are real sausages.”
“If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC ramen, sushi or specialty rolls and/or bento box done right visit this family owned Japanese establishment. Pictures do not lie!This is a SMALL restaurant that prides itself on serving AUTHENTIC, SCRATCH, DELICIOUS Japanese cuisine. Suggestions:1). If you’re in a hurry order online or call in for TAKE OUT2). If you have time and don’t mind the wait, DINE IN. The server is warm and welcoming but the chef does NOT rush or cut corners just to get an order out just like in Japan! The food is WORTH the wait!!!!!!!THANK YOU for DELECTABLE JAPANESE CUISINE ?????❣️Parking: Accessible and easy to locate via navigation!Kid-friendliness: Definitely family friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp inside to get to dining room”
“Thank you so much for a wonderful time today! We celebrated my mom's 80th birthday, I was very impressed with your service, food, mariachi! We had a great time! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! May you continue to be prosperous El Mariachi Bar & Grill”
“Honestly, I've been to Maztlan and Culiacan and damn does the ceviche at Emporio remind me of the authentic flavors of Sinaloa. I had the Badiraguato & Tropical tostadas, aguachiles, langostinos and it was fire!! I literally want to go every weekend! Recommend recommend, recommend! Also, whomever handles their IG, great job! Right when I think I'm over my addiction they pull me back in with their IG story! Must try!!”

Zito's Pizza
“Zitos is literally the best pizza I've ever had. They make the most delicious ranch in house. If you haven't had the TGBG pizza, you are absolutely missing out! If I could eat at 1 place the rest of my life, this might be the one. Zitos, one pizza place to rule over the pizza kingdom ??”
“This ultra-casual eatery has been a local favorite for decades. Try the chowder! Trout was very tasty. Friendly staff and quick service.Kid-friendliness: Lots of moms, strollers, families, and welcoming for solo diners too.”
73
Zito's Pizza
“This place gives me nineties vibes so hard! Has an arcade corner, beer and wine hardwood bar and big TVs for sports. Not to mention that when I was there for lunch they play The Cranberries followed by "youre so vain" and then an Abba cover. My inner teenager went "squee".”
“Kaitie is such an attentive server! She immediately got our drink order started before I could even put my napkin in my lap. Kaitie was eager to suggest menu items that she personally likes; as I am new to dining here and was unsure if chicken or fish sounded good or a salad Kaitie was quick to suggest the Southern Fried Chicken salad. So good and will for sure be back!”
“Today I had a great experience eating at this restaurant 10/10, very delicious food and Miss Betty who was our waitress was attentive and very friendly, excellent job.”
“The food was very flavorful, and salsas were tasty and satisfying. Everything hit the spot when combined.Parking: I didn't have any trouble finding a close parking.Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of space and my kids felt welcomed.”

Jamba Juice
“I was try to find a location open later than the stores near my house but it's very frustrating lately, I don't really know what to do about my predicament regarding Jamba Juice overall. I have been a customer well over 20years, since a large was $3.25 and came in a Styrofoam cup ?. I am really disappointed with the service and product I have been receiving recently. * NOTE: this review is about ALL LOCATIONS, not this 1 in particular. I have not physically been 2this store recently.”
“Five stars, but not for the lactose intolerant. This restaurant legitimately has great food, but if you're lactose intolerant you won't find anything on the menu you can eat done over here. Of course, you can have them take off the cheese and the cream and the other dairy in the menu items, but it won't taste the same and in my mind it doesn't taste as good.Dietary restrictions: There are few, if any, dishes that don't contain cheese and sweet cream or sour cream. They will serve you without cheese and cream, but it changes the flavor profile.The menu states that they politely asks that you don't request changes to the menu.”
“First time here. Made a reservation a month in advance. The food was so tasty. I had the avocado sauce enchiladas. Filled with scrambled egg and pico de gallo. The potatoes were super good. The coffee de olla was delicious. The server was awesome.”

Sushi Yun
“This sushi joint has been my favorite. Every time I'd come down to visit my family here in Orange County, I'd make sure to have some of my favorite rolls before heading back home. I love their sushi rolls! Definitely recommended!”
“Walked in with my family on a Sunday evening,were greeted and sat promptly. The server quickly gave us chips and salsa-the green salsa was amazing reminds me of my moms home made salsa macha she makes. The agua fresca was authentic Jamaica not too sweet. Our orders were also taken quickly, the server recommended botana la patrona which I thought was amazing,portions we're definitely good for the price,taste was unique unlike other marisco spots I have gone to that have the same recipes this botana was a unique taste and I enjoyed my dinner. Ambience was also friendly,clean and music wasn't overwhelming where we can still converse. My family and I really enjoyed our dinner. Lastly we were surprised with dessert, so delicious and it was on the house! Will be returning back to try the extensive menu they have. Thank you for your service! Earned my business and review.”
“First time eating at Lucilles, decided to get dinner here I ordered baby back ribs french fries and baked beans, it was good, server was very nice and gave excellent customer service, we didn't have to wait to pay we paid right there at the table, atmosphere was friendly, I do wanna try the dessert next time so I will be back thanks.”
“I travel 10 miles to get this Pizza. They have a great crust, slightly sweet and I love the sauce. Once in a while it is too peppery, but overall it's the best since the old Barro's shrunk down to one store.”
“Came in on a Saturday afternoon and was seated promptly. Staff was courteous and service was exceptional. The food was absolutely excellent, especially the ribs.Ordered a full rack of baby back ribs and they were falling off the bone effortlessly, cooked to perfection along with the sauce. Cornbread was fluffy and warm, paired well with the butter. Coleslaw was sweet, creamy, and not overly tangy. Mashed potatoes were also creamy, I think some bacon bits would have been a good addition. Fried Mac and cheese and onion rings were excellent as well. Truly no complaints about the food. Well done!”
“This place had all the vibe for a Friday (lunch)! Party started early. Definitely think this is a great place to celebrate birthdays or even sit in the bar area for some drinks and appetizers.We came here for a coworkers bday. They took reservations which was nice because we were on a tight schedule. They sat us quickly and gave us time to look over the menu.Options were endless! Drinks have a separate menu and they have flight options if you wanted to try a lil bit of it all.As for food, we were a party of 7 so we ordered family style. Ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees so we can try a little bit of everything. I’m picky when it comes to Mexican food, but I would say this place hit the nose on seafood and traditional dishes. Portions are large (food and drinks).Loved the music (can’t go wrong with Bad Bunny playlist). The art around the restaurant was fun and lots of photo ops.Definitely a place I’d come back too.”
“This is an awesome western themed steakhouse with 2 large open bars and a mechanical bull, $5/ ride. I got the huge 24 oz prime rib and ate the whole thing. Outdoor patio to roast marshmallows for smores was fun.”

“Wow, our 1st time here! We loved it and our waitress Maria! I had the quiche w/fresh fruit & my husband had the chicken fried steak...oh and a Mimosa. We will be back to try some other delectables! Thank you!”
“We found this little gem when we moved to Orange 3 years ago and get food from there at least twice a month. The people that work there are so nice, friendly and really care about their customers. Now to the food. It is excellent! The tacos and carnitas burritos are to die for. They make guacamole from scratch and it’s the best we’ve ever had. Breakfast burritos are awesome. So let’s support this local, family owned business. Times are tough for some folks, but believe me you won’t be disappointed. Their prices are really good too.”
“i never leave reviews on yelp but this was hands down the best thai food i've had in socal! my mom lived in thailand for 6 months and our family has visited thailand multiple times, and we all thought that the food tasted so authentic!!! we got the chicken satay, chicken green curry, tofu pad thai, lad nah beef, and basil kra pao we came at 8pm on a friday night and were the only party here! wanted to share a good word bc they deserve the recognition!!”
“The place is nice they have great coffee and tasty empanadas. I hope that in the future the customer service can match the food. Unfortunately, the Hispanic lady had rude actitud and refused to speak Spanish even though she spoke very poor English. I asked questions regarding the wine and pastries, and the answer was that she had no idea because she didn't drink alcohol ,”
“For the last couple of months, I've been trying out a new place for lunch. A friend told me about The Greenery Natural Kitchen. They recently went through a change in ownership and redesigned the interior of the restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the menu and the food. My favorite menu item is the 1/2 sandwich (turkey and avocado on squaw bread) and 1/2 salad, which includes chips and salsa. The food is delightful and always fresh, and brought to the table in a very reasonable amount of time by friendly servers. I highly recommend The Greenery.”
“I am a big fan of Palapas food. Everything I have tried from start to finish has been great. Starting with a mango michelada which was super balanced. Sweet, salty and a hint of tartness; garnished with a Tamaroca, a mango and cucumber slice dipped in escarcha made it absolute perfection. To start they bring you some great chips, salsa and bean dip which are a nice little appetizer. We got the California roll and let me tell you, it doesn't compare to any Japanese sushi place, but was still OK. The Ceviche in salsa negra is great and full of flavor. Definitely my go to. Had to try a shrimp taco, because why not!? When I first got the taco and saw that it was made with a flour tortilla I was a bit skeptical, but after I bit into it my taste buds were pleasantly surprised. It was cheesy, crunchy, with a bit of spiciness from the salsa they provide. It was truly amazing. Definitely going back and gettin' me some more in the near future! The service could be better, the waitresses are not too friendly. The atmosphere is nice with some Mexican music playing in the background. One of the times I went I was charged for valet parking, but thankfully I think they did away with that.Kid-friendliness: Not too much to offer for kids.Parking: I have been charged for valet before, bit sure if they did away with it. I hope they did because they'll charge you to park your car 10 feet away from the back door.Wheelchair accessibility: Floor level”

I got the turmeric chicken schwarma and the cilantro pesto chicken schwarma and the flavors just melted in my mouth. I also had the tumeric lemonade and it was the perfect amount of tartness. I even got the baklava and it was so flaky and sweet. Definitely coming here again!”
“Great location. I'm new to ramen, but I'd probably come back. I wish the tonkatsu broth was a little bit richer, or that they had garlic or chili oil on the table to help pump up the flavor. Gyoza was good. Edamame was bland.”

“We stopped in here for breakfast twice on a recent vacation. There's plenty of parking, plenty of seating in the diner and it was fairly bust which created a good atmosphere. The food was great, really good hash browns, the omelettes were excellent and self serve drinks. The first time we ate it was excellent, the food was awesome and we couldn't find a fault with the service. The second time didn't the food wasn't hot when it came out and the gravy was just ok, not great. I would still go back though as it's a great location and the choice and quality of food was generally good.Parking: Free parking lot directly outside the diner”
“The place is nice and spacious. They have cute murals and decorations. The staff is very friendly and accompdating. Kimberly helped me out and she gave me recommendations and let me know I can customize my drink's sweetness. I ended up with the lychee green tea! 10/10, will be coming back!”

The place was clean (tables, etc), a representative brought our food to us in a timely manner and asked if we required anything further, and there was always a representative if we needed something else. Nice atmosphere and "kid friendly." I recommend this spot.Parking: Not a lot of parking spots on the premises.Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly. They even have small size orders, especially for kids”
“Oh my gosh, this place is so good! We love it here. Today we had the turkey panini sandwich, and we subbed the salad that comes with it for a Caesar salad (extra charge) Then we got a side of hummus. You get either a choice of pita bread with it or cucumbers, and we got the cucumbers. We also got an English Tea Latte, basically a black tea latte. And the Rumi latte, which is a rooibos tea with maple syrup, cinnamon, turmeric and oat milk ( this one is fab!) You really can't go wrong with anything you get here. Whether it's breakfast or lunch/dinner or one of their soups or one of their drinks. Everything is delish! We're especially fond of the hot drinks. And don't even get me started on their desserts! Those are also absolutely delicious and there's always usually a very large assortment to choose from.”
“Koobikland has the BEST koobideh not only in OC but the entire California! Not only the food was beyond delicious, but the ambience and the service was above and beyond. We had great Sunday family gathering at Koobikland. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
