“Been coming here for awhile now. Skip the bougie GUI BBQ upstairs and the Mountain House next door if you want to eat some authentic Chinese Sichuan styled cooking that's not flamed by bullshit Xiao hong shu or tiktok.
Best of all skip the damn lines.
Here's the interesting part:
I have ordered the exact, and I mean exact dish combos for the past 10+ times I've been here. The flavor profile and consistency are the same across the board. I have not been disappointed once!
No need to mention just how difficult that is to achieve across the board within the restaurant industry. That's a feat in itself!
The lamb skewers are grilled over charcoal in the back kitchen just like at GUI upstairs. You just don't see it but you can def taste it. This is still better than the GUI Irvine location which doesn't have any charcoals taste.
Order exactly these:
Go for the basil clams, spicy black bean paste intestines, and the spicy crawfish. Add any veggie dish and you're set.
Thank me later.“

“Great sports and beer bar. They have lots of TVs playing a variety of games. Their beer list is pretty good where they mix the standard beer selections with local craft beer selections. Service is always great...they serve by committee so you can order and ask question from whatever server is nearby. Very good food for a beer/sports bar.“
“The is my favorite place in Uptown the beer is always amazing but most of all it's the staff. Jess, Lee, Chantel and especially Amber always make my experience exceptional. Whittier wouldn't be the same without this crew. Cheers!“

“Shout out to Baran Mediterranean restaurant. We had a superbowl/ 50th birthday party yesterday and everything was literally perfect. Food/staff/ decorations/ cake, everything was perfect. There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“
“This place is such a hidden gem! The food exceeded all my expectations—grilled skewers are juicy and well-seasoned, and the stir-fried noodles have perfect texture. Service was attentive, our order came out fast and the workers were polite. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, really a great spot for casual meals with family or friends. 10/10, I’ll be a regular customer from now on!“

“This is THE BEST fine dining steakhouse in North OC with a vibrant, classy atmosphere. From the steaks and seafood to the cocktails and old-fashioneds… everything is amazing. We’ve been patrons since it opened and would even order takeout (even old-fashioneds to go!) during the pandemic. A splurge but absolutely worth it.“

“So I usually do this when I go out of town, I goggle dive bar near me, well this is it. A good place for drinks and karaoke on a Wednesday night with KJ Helen, just come on in and just blend in. Sing a song, no one knows you anyway, Once you visit, you'll be telling yourself the next morning, yes that was a dive bar. Say Hi to the lovely always polite bartender Nancy.“

“It's a classic old school diner, with huge portions and tons of options. The service can be very hit or miss, we've had the same server twice who quite frankly is crotchety, doesn't listen and is fairly rude, but the food is so good you live with it. Can get extremely busy on weekends but they do a good job of moving people in and out.“

“Jared was great. Beautiful place great atmosphere“
“The girlfriend and I just moved here and checked this place out as it was close to home and had great reviews.
I had the smash burger and she had the chicken sandwich; both were delicious and the fact that they offer sweet potato fries is a plus. Extra points for the ranch, which was some of the best I’ve had and I never have ranch with anything.
Bartender didn’t have what I wanted but suggested an alternative and we both liked it.
The place is a vibe and definitely worth checking out.“
“Literally all I’ve wanted in a bar. Low key, 80s - 2000s music along with their music videos on multiple screens. Kinda gothic look inside. Dj Grego putting out multiple fire tracks de rock en español that’ll have you dancing around all night long.. April’s gotcha on them waters quick! drink specials! A very chill AF vibe! My hats off to you guys ? ???
Parking: No problems with parking! :)“
“Thursday Nights !! A+ Bartender Rosie goes above and beyond . I’m not only if she friendly and acknowledges any and every person who walks in she’s not like other bartenders I’ve seen other establishments who are on their phone more than they are working. She brings in a collective of different patrons all friendly Never once not felt safe when I am there It’s a shame the other Bartenders at this places sister establishment in Covina were as well Trained as Rosie. Or even new had to make a drink Tina’s Tavern Thursdays Hands down the place to be“

“It had been nearly 15 years since my last visit. I must say the decor is exactly as I remembered. Took 3 minutes to be seated then we were greeted by the most friendly and attentive waiter I’ve EVER had at any restaurant . I’m a huge lover of the cabbage salad so I gorged on a big bowl before dinner. I ordered a medium rare fillet and potato and it was cooked to perfection. I so wish I lived nearby as I would pay it a regular visit. I’m so glad the Clearmans Northwoods inn has not been changed.“
“nice place to have a cold one“
“Nice spot, service very friendly, they jam on good music I got me a double up fruit cup it was so good you gotta try it“

“We tried this little bar while we were visiting friends in the Uptown Whittier area. It's an eclectic little cocktail lounge with speakeasy vibes. We loved the decor and the ambience was great with dimmed soft red lights that made the place very relaxing. They had happy hour going on and we tried the queso con chorizo dip. It came really hot so it was watery and when we tried it, it was oily and mushy. However, once it cooled, the dish was solidified and the flavors really merged and popped- the oaxaca cheese, poblano peppers, and chorizo really blended together into a delicious dish. I highly recommend you try it! They have specialty drinks but carry a full bar and can make many other drinks. I really enjoyed their specialty drinks although they were very small. We spent about an hour there, then headed to dinner with friends. The staff was great and attentive. They were very nice and really explained their menu. It was a cute little place that were definitely visiting again when we're in town.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! As a celiac I have very limited options on places that I can safely eat at and I feel extremely fortunate that this is one of them. The food is exceptional and being all gluten free I can enjoy a variety of amazing dishes here. The service is also wonderful with attentive waiters who are full of life. The atmosphere pulls all of what I previously stated together with live music and visually spectacular place to dine“
