“they always change their menu. we drive down here from irvine to find out what we like ismt on the menu today its only on the menu on certain days we asked the server when is it on the menu and he didnt know. We won't be back. how hard is it to keep the menu the same? I can see lunch and dinner menus but changin the dinner menus all the time?“

“The Chili Fries, and the Stand Burger is the Best.“

“I visited my brother who lives locally. He took me and our other brother here because he loves this place and goes frequently. Being a wine lover, he let me pick our dinner wine. Came across an O’Shaughnessy Cabernet and had to stop right there. I know the product, had the pleasure of drinking this with Luke Russ when he did a wine dinner in northern Illinois a few years back. The owner saw the bottle on our table and introduced himself to us and we talked about Luke. Great moment. Fabulous food! Asparagus fries, halibut, deviled eggs, butter cake…. It was all fabulous! Look forward to returning!“

“Looking for a good fish & chips and Spikes came up on google search with a good rating. I called in my order for pickup and it was ready early and the fish was great! Ordered a poke bowl too that my wife & daughter loved. Jessica was very friendly and helpful. Want to come back again soon.“

“Always good food and great service at this location.“

“We have been going to Niko Niko for 10 years now. We love the restaurant and the community and the friends we made there I would definitely recommend this place, the food is amazing and the owners are very accommodating to the costumers needs. Love you Niko Niko family. My youngest daughter was so in love with their miso soup that they named an specific to go order with her name. “Christiana style”.“

“Wonderful experience at Carmelita’s Kitchen in Rancho Santa Margarita, I feel like we spent the day in Mexico having an authentic meal with a fantastic lake view. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service really made our visit special.

A huge shout-out to our terrific waitress, Hannah. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Jose, our server, was also fantastic—hardworking, courteous, and always right there when needed.

Great food is important and excellent service makes you want to come back. The Chef, Hannah, and Jose definitely did that for us. Thank you all for making our meal so enjoyable. We will definitely be back!“

“I went in for the all you can eat lunch. They are always friendly and outgoing to help you and the food is great as always. Good DEAL for the money as well. 🤑😀“

“Wonderful authentic mexican food. Mama even came out from the kitchen and asked how we liked her chili Rellanos. Yeah, they are homemade, fluffy and delicious. Our Bible Study meets there every month to celebrate birthdays as we've gotten to know the staff and owners pretty well. Good people.“

“We had brisket 7oz and it was delicious! love the rolls and peanut coleslaw. Our waitress checked with us frequently and provided excellent service. Thank you!“

“Our family loves Celinda’s. Most of all we love the food! They have the absolute best chile verde in the city, in the state, in the country! Just THE BEST! Our kids love the enchiladas! The owner/master chef always comes out to say “hi” and ask how the food is! He’s such a kind man, deserves every bit of praise for his absolutely great cooking and his personality and how he leads his business! Please visit and support this locally owned business it is worth every penny!“

“Spicy and delicious, nice atmosphere.“

“UPDATE: I have raised to 4 stars because the service has slowly improved over the last few months. Thank you for taking note of customer input and acting on it. As of now 11Aug22, solid service, good food. Taco Tuesday is great. I will continue my regular visits and hope to give 5 stars soon.Old: The last several times we have been to TJ's we have had no service. We are coming off the course hot and thirsty, we seat ourselves and no one comes by for 15-20 mins. No water, no welcome, nothing. If you can get served the food is solid. We have enjoyed breakfast here before and it was really good. When its 90 degrees and golfers are coming off a round on the course, offer them some water would ya? I HATE giving low reviews, but until this situation is fixed it will stay this way.Edit: The director of food and drink responded almost immediately so I raised my review by a star (From 2 to 3). I will go back sometime in the next couple weeks (Anonymously of course), if the problems have been resolved, I will edit this review further.“

“Great atmosphere and friendly staff that made our event so much fun“

“Love this place! The service is excellent and you feel like you’re in some little restaurant in Japan. The rolls are fancy, substantial and delicious. They are on the pricier side but it’s totally worth it, you don’t need too many to be satisfied. The Ginza and crunch roll are a couple of my favorites. I just wish they had more flexible hours, that’s the only reason I hadn’t come here sooner! Definitely my favorite Sushi spot in RSM now.“

“Absolutely delicious and very welcoming. We can got given a free desert as well. We would highly recommend“

“Javier, the manager delivered the most amazing food last night for a thank you dinner for my Catechists. I highly recommend Alza Italian Kitchen. Every thing was superb…. Thank you!“

“The food isn’t as wonderful as it use to be but it’s still very good. I’m sure they are doing the best they can under the circumstances!“

“Food was delicious and service was fantastic. The mood and vibe was very relaxing. We ordered drunken noodles, pad Thai and orange chicken. The orange chicken had a very thin layer soft soft crunchiness that was 10/10 the best orange chicken i ever had.“

“Great food, and awesome service!“

“Excellent and delicious food. Flavorful. Portions are generous. Great variety for different dietary needs. Some of best food I’ve had in this cuisine in a long time.“

“We love poke bowls!!! Just had it for dinner last night. Love the addition of the combo to the menu. Service is always great!“

“the food was delish 😋 it was our first time and we will definitely be back“

“Had lunch on a Sunday afternoon and watched some FIFA soccer. The restaurant didn't anticipate the soccer crowd and was trying to operate with one server and a host.
About a dozen patrons showed up, plus a party of 10 on the patio. The service slowed down dramatically (3 stars) not necessarily the fault of the staff, just understaffed. We didn't look in the bar but could hear a few more people cheer when a goal was scored.
Food was served hot and drinks were refilled on request. The Chicago style Hawaiian trio was good. The sauce over the toppings was too much for my pallet. The sauce overwhelmed the toppings and primarily tasted the sauce.
The atmosphere was good with multiple screens to watch the match.
Servers (host began serving) were friendly and hard working. Booth was clean and comfortable. Cost was typical for dining out, but we had a coupon, so that helped make it affordable.“

“How have I never tried Philly’s best? I got an Instagram ad saying if I ordered the cooper classic and mentioned “Philly guy Bob” sent me, they’d throw fries in for free. What a deal, how could I pass it up? So happy I came in for the first time. When I walked in, the decor was awesome. You can tell the owner is from Philly based on the wallpaper and the newspapers hanging up, which I really thought was a great touch. Service was awesome, was greeted right when I came in. I ordered the cooper classic and fries. Wow. The cheesesteak was amazing. Loaded with meat and cheese. I added grilled onions which were great. The bread was soft and warm and delicious. Part of the magic of a Philly cheesesteak is that it has to be wrapped for at least a few minutes (in my opinion) so that the hot meat steams and melds everything together. The fries were awesome, crispy, perfectly seasoned, fluffy inside. My order took just a few minutes after ordering to be ready. With the open kitchen you can watch them make your cheesesteak as you wait. Will definitely come back again!“

“What a joyful crew! The atmosphere this morning was delightful; the crew, smiling, and laughing and engaging with customers in a genuine way made my plain bagel with cream cheese feel like the most important bagel I've ever had. The bagel was perfectly toasted and had the perfect amount of cream cheese. I'm really grateful for this experience as it is setting the tone for my day many thanks to the wonderful crew!“

“I came here with my grandpa, and it has become one of our favorite places. My grandpa absolutely loves the fish, and I have to say they make the best eggplant I’ve found in Orange County. As someone who doesn’t eat meat, it’s one of the main reasons I keep coming back.

The food is always delicious, but what really makes this place special is the service. Joyci is amazing! She remembered us, made us feel welcome, and treated us like family. That personal touch means a lot and makes every visit even better.

Great food, warm hospitality, and a place that creates wonderful memories with loved ones. We’ll definitely be back!

Good restaurant reviews often mention the food, service, and overall experience, which helps others understand what makes a place special.“
