“Why isn't there a Tutto Fresco in LA County I hope to see one soon. You start with foccacia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and then I got the bruchetta and my main entre was penne pasta. It was a meal for 2. Which I didn't expect the size of the portions. What really throws me off is the restaurant. You come in and order than you sit down and its brought to you. Like fast food restaurant but its NOT. And, and it has a drive thru just like a fast food”
“One of the best omakases I’ve ever had. Although it was on the pricier side, it was pretty worth every penny. The chef was very welcoming and friendly as well as the servers. Really enjoyable and unique experience with fish I have never heard of, including the white salmon.”
“I honestly debated whether to write this review or keep this place to myself — it’s that good. The food is truly unique and absolutely delicious. You can taste the quality in every bite; everything was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared.
Andrew completely elevated our experience. His energy, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made the night unforgettable. I don’t think I can ever go back to my previous sushi spot after this.
What really stood out was how accommodating they were — I was able to taste an item before they were added to my dish, which has never happened to me before. That level of care is rare.
The atmosphere is clean, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. I’m so glad I discovered this place. Highly, highly recommend.”
“We discovered this gem a little while ago and keep coming back. Food and service are outstanding. Tonight was a birthday celebration and everything was excellent!! Highly recommend!!”

“Koco’s Sushi has been special to me from the very beginning. When I first moved to the area, it quickly became my go-to spot, the kind of place that feels familiar, comforting, and consistently good every time. The sushi is always fresh, beautifully made, and full of flavor, but what really stands out is the experience.
The owner is truly one of a kind—always greeting you with a warm smile and making you feel right at home. That genuine kindness and welcoming energy makes every visit feel personal, not just like another meal out.
My boyfriend and I’s best dates have been here, sharing rolls like the TNT and Fuego with spicy sauce, and just enjoying the atmosphere. It’s one of those places that naturally creates special memories.
During my pregnancy, I had to stay away from sushi, and honestly, Koco’s was one of the things I missed the most. After I gave birth, it was the very first meal I wanted—and it did not disappoint. That first bite was everything I had been craving and more.
Koco’s isn’t just a sushi spot to me—it holds memories. From new beginnings to big life moments, it’s been there through it all. If you’re looking for fresh sushi, amazing service, and a place that truly makes you feel welcome, this is it.”
“Great food, would highly recommend it. We ordered potato Bolani, mantu, Pulao and Chapli Kebab. Everything was very good. Flavorful and not spicy. Service was good, restaurant was clean, restroom was clean.”
“We really can’t seem to drive past an Olive Garden — it’s like there’s this magic field that traps us in its charm.
The Anaheim location was exactly the perfectly expected meal we’ve now added to our Top 5 must‑have meals when visiting the USA, and for good reason — THE VALUE IS BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL.
Everything about a meal here has us hooked. We genuinely LOVE OLIVE GARDEN.
From the staff, to the flavours, to the variety, to the price point — it’s everything you want when travelling and the perfect choice for a solid daily meal.
My daughter can’t go past the spag + schnitty combo with a side of broccoli, while I like to switch things up… but honestly, the Shrimp Scampi is almost impossible to pass up.
Because we were visiting in winter, we chose the chicken gnocchi soup as our side — absolute comfort in a bowl.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I dont understand why this place doesnt have a line around the building... I've been coming here for a while now. I used to live in Santa Ana, then Paramount, and now Laguna Niguel. Every time I've made the drive because the drinks are AMAZING. For the most part I'm a Thai tea kinda person and the Thai Tea Blossom is ALWAYS on pint and add the Sealt Creme..... its heaven in a cup. The staff has always been good and the art does blow me away, some of these people should be doing comics, manga or cartoons. This place should be on everyone's list if you're into delicious drinks, think I'm kidding?? Again-- I drive from Laguan Niguel to get a drink from here!!!”
“Good portions and good food and reasonable prices with friendly service”
“I absolutely love Kiazen Shabu! The food here is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and rich, flavorful broths that make every bite memorable. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly, always making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I especially appreciate how the owner often offers free alcohol to customers, adding that extra touch of hospitality. I first visited when they first opened a few years ago, and at that time, it wasn’t too busy. But with the incredible food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no surprise that Kiazen Shabu has become so popular. Now, it's always packed, so be prepared to wait, especially on weekends and during dinner hours – but trust me, it's worth it! I highly recommend trying most of their dishes; you won’t be disappointed. Kiazen Shabu is a must-visit for anyone who loves delicious food and top-notch service!”
“Everything was incredible! Food is fresh and offerings are one of a kind. Super excited to have found this place and will come back again! Loved the passion fruit crudo, ceaser, steak, and donuts”
“I couldn’t wait to share our experience at Benchmark restaurant in Santa Ana California. Everything about this place is perfection! It was a hot day, but the beautiful outdoor dining area was cool and breezy underneath the beautiful trees. Our waitress was knowledgeable, wonderfully friendly, and attended to all our needs. Each of us ordered a different item on the menu and I had to taste everything. I had the Spanish omelette, which was delicious, the burger seems like a very popular item understandably because that along with the delicious fries was exceptional. Enchiladas with mole were a wonderful treat, and the French toast was probably the hit of the table. This wonderful brunch dish was not exceptionally sweet, which made it so perfect. Some places just overdo it with the sweetness. We will definitely be going back many times to tryout dinners and more of the selections on all of the menus. I will also be spreading the word because this is probably my favorite place in Orange County now. Thank you Benchmark for a fantastic experience!”

“Visite este Dennys y todos los empleados fueron muy amables siempre sonriendo se sentía una atmósfera llena de alegría Alejandra fue nuestra mesera siempre sonriendo y muy atenta a nuestras necesidades el café bien calientito y sabroso no se diga los pancakes de plátano con chocolate todo estuvo muy rico el restaurante estaba muy ocupado pero todo se miraba muy limpio desde el comedor hasta los baños gracias a todos mi familia y yo regresarémos adiós y gracias”

“My girlfriend and I came here on a Friday night around 9PM for some sushi and let me tell you this place doesn't disappoint. We came around 8:30PM there was a reservation slot for 9PM but we didn't want to wait so we decided to take the chance and go in. We didn't have to wait. We started with some poke nacho, they were good, but not the star of the show. We also ordered some sashimi and the cuts were thick and taste delicious 😋. However, these were still not the star of the show. The true star was their black cod sushi(black dish). I had my doubts at first when my gf ordered it but when it came out and I had one of the 2pcs serving and my tastebud exploded. So we ended up ordering 2 more orders. Ponzu is great place for a nice date night I approved👍. Services was fast and very attentive. I enjoy the fresh wasabi that they serve with their sashimi and when I asked for more they brought out way more than what's originally was served, this place doesn't skim.”
“Best dinner of my life?? I’m too tipsy because I got the wine pairing, but as far as I can remember, yes- best dinner of my life. The sushi was impeccable. The tempura was the best I ever had. The avocado tempura?? A sensual experience. I was SO disappointed to hear they’re closing down permanently by summer. You must try this place before we lose this chef to Spain.”
“The food is excellent - and I'm very picky about Mexican. The 3 of us all ordered very different entrees and shared the queso fundido. So so tasty and served with homemade flour tortillas. Thervice hoever, lacked just a tiny bit. Server didn't ask us if we wanted alcohol, and our dishes were not served all together. That was an awkward 5 minute gap. Lastly, asking us if we wanted more water was not asked, and the taking away of dishes meant i could not nibble on the balance of our queso. she was friendly enough and did bring out our dessert promptly. Definitely want to go back and try more dishes.”
“Karaoke Thursday!!! Everyone there is so friendly and accommodating. I celebrated my birthday there and had the best time! Oh and we played trivia too and my team won!”
“One of the best breakfast places I’ve ever eaten at. The Japanese bread is made by their chef. The French toast was insanely good as they caramelized it, French scrambled eggs so light and silky. Pork belly was scrumptious. Coffee iced lattes so good!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tapatia Taqueria #2 deserves all five stars!
If you’re looking for authentic flavor, generous portions, and true quality, this is the spot. Their tortas are hands-down the best in all of Orange County—packed, flavorful, and made with real care. The burritos are loaded with meat, not just filler, and every bite is worth it. And don’t sleep on the quesadillas—they’re stacked with meat and melted cheese, the way they’re supposed to be.
The service is quick, the food is fresh, and everything tastes like it was made with pride. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving real Mexican food done right!”
“Taqueria Hoy is my go-to spot for burritos anytime—I always order delivery, and they consistently nail it. Open 24/7, so no matter when the craving hits, I can get my favorite without any issues.
I always get the carne asada burrito customized my way: no guac, no onions, no pico de gallo—just cheese, beans, and carne asada. I add notes to put the salsa on the side (their red or green is awesome, and I like adding it myself) and to cut the burrito in half. Every time through DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub, the team gets every detail perfect—no mix-ups, no forgotten requests, and they handle customizations like pros.
The carne asada is juicy and full of flavor, beans are creamy, cheese melts just right, and it arrives hot and fresh. Delivery is super reliable and usually quick—often within half an hour.”
“Went in today 04/18/26. Everyone was super professional. Old man came in already in a bad mood. Berated the young lady, And also threaten with calling corporate on the workers, due to them helping me after my sandwich came out of the oven. The staff did awesome. 👍”
“Hope was the absolute best server I’ve ever had. I don’t know what you’re paying her but it should be more. Maybe she should train other servers. We were here for the Rose Bowl - go Hoosiers! - and weren’t looking to a long trip home. Hope made the first part of our journey feel welcoming and fun. Hoosier hospitality in Cali!”
“Fantastic classic rock cover bands every night from 9pm to 1am! Great bar selection and drinks are priced right.”

“The food was delicious and made to order! I love the refreshing ingredients! It's a little hole in the wall restaurant, bit some of the best foods come from places like these. Would highly recommend giving Lunch Bang a try. Just note, the place is small and it doesn't accommodate a lot of people.”

“The owner served us as if we were in his home. He tended not only to us but to all his customers. We experienced true Mexican culture while visiting his restaurant. He brought out homemade natural guava drink, he brought a small cup for my 17 month old and a side of rice for her to start eating. He brought food out without being asked and when he was asked he provided. We ordered chilaquiles red and green, a cheeseburger plain and a plate of carne asada. Because my husband didn’t order food, he brought out a side of small lentil soup for him. Once the meal was finished he provided my children complimentary ice cream popsicles.”

“We were on vacation in Newport Beach when we stumbled upon a farmers market and found this bakery. My husband is gluten free and we are always excited when we find a treat he can have. He said it was one of the best brownies he's ever had! Will definitely find this bakery again when we visit.”
“The food here is seriously amazing — every bite is packed with flavor and made with care 😍🌮 You can really taste the quality, and it makes the whole experience so enjoyable. If you happen to stop by on a chilly evening, you absolutely have to try the fresca arroz con leche 🍚✨ It’s warm, comforting, and perfectly sweet — such a delicious treat that hits the spot every time 😋🔥
Honestly, it’s one of those desserts that just makes you smile after the first spoonful. But don’t just take my word for it! Go check out Taco Luci for yourself and see what all the hype is about 🙌🌟 You won’t regret it!”

“This is seriously a hidden gem
I’ve followed this establishment from early on and they’ve have only gotten better. Quality food product and great prices. Even when getting takeout I get extras for later ( it’s that good )
I’m basically there weekly , so if you want to try some of the best arepas out there… hit this location up.
The service is solid too
Follow them on IG and you’ll see what specials they have too 👍
( recommend the malandra and pork belly so good…)”
“1. The latte was well-crafted and delicious!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is open!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in less than 10 mins!
Note. There is a single restroom available for customers!

“We were in the area, and I was craving for coffee. I found this place with all the great reviews, so I decided to come by. It is located inside a plaza with lots of parking spaces. Parking was easy. They have both outdoor and in door seatings. Menu seems smaller, but still has enough options. I ordered matcha lavender latter and New Orleans cold brew. Both of our drinks were amazing! The cold brew is my favorite cold brew I have ever tried. I am unsure if it has oak milk in it, but it has a slight sweetness in it, which made it good! The matcha was strong, but not bitter, and it has a strong lavender scent, which I love. The only complaint I have is the size of the drinks were too small, and I was unable to enjoy it more. Too bad I left, or else I might go back and get another one. Cashier was friendly, patient, and kind that he explained different drinks to us. Very modern minimalist decorations, and they have magazine available to read in the store. I will come by again if I am in the area.”
“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..”
“Best dinner of my life?? I’m too tipsy because I got the wine pairing, but as far as I can remember, yes- best dinner of my life. The sushi was impeccable. The tempura was the best I ever had. The avocado tempura?? A sensual experience. I was SO disappointed to hear they’re closing down permanently by summer. You must try this place before we lose this chef to Spain.”
“We loved the decorations, it really felt like you were south of the border. Great food and service and all the staff was really friendly.”
“I had 2 street tacos , carne asada, the meat was delicious. The tortillas were flavorful. Chips and salsa was fresh. Service was there when you need them. Music in the background not too loud. Decorative background.”
“riquisimos y bien servidos Los mariscos, casi no le ponen verduras, es lo mejor..”
“I live nearby and would like to support this Bar 100%. Staff and food quality and cleanliness are equally excellent. Have been going to this bar for more than 5YRs. Also, the location and the next-door wonderful restaurants are attractive to hang out.
This review is to suggest a few things that might attract more traffic: providing options of peanut-sauces (I loved the P. sauce from California Shabu Shabu but chose this Bar to support the business), installing the led-blinking light with a design for the interior wall and wrap around the bar. I believe few small additions would make the difference. Thanks for reading.”

“This place is perfect for late night cravings. The grilled skewers were tasty and well seasoned, and the portions were good for sharing. Nice casual vibe and friendly service. Definitely a fun place to hang out and eat.”
“My wife and I stopped for a random pie in CA while visiting Disneyland. Horacio helped us with our order, made it to perfection, and offered the best service out there. I highly recommend Late Night Pizza whenever you’re in the area. It’s worth noting - the pie reheated the next day is outstanding due to the quality toppings, cheese, and sauce used. Thanks again!”
“eh comida un par de veces la comida muy rica y el servicio exelente! pero el señor de kareoke ya tiene su gente y a el le encanta cartar y no le da prioridad a los clientes!”
“Their picaditas de asada are my favorite! Everything is made to order so some patience is required while the ladies do their magic. They have a variety of salsas and hand made and/or regular tortillas to choose from.”
“exselente servicio hi la comida lo mejor que he probado aqui en california exselente anbiente hi buena limpiesa”
“When I first tried this place, I came back several times because the food was simple, authentic,”
“Salmon Many leading nutritionist consider salmon to be one the best foods you can eat. Thanks to an array of healthy nutrients along with a punch of protein, salmon is a fantastic food for anyone looking to eat healthier or lose weight. And thanks to its flavor and texture, you can cook salmon in endless ways. Salmon is famous for its omega-3 fatty acids. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Omega-3 fatty acids may decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, decrease stroke and heart failure risk, reduce irregular heartbeats, and in children may improve learning ability.” But the benefits of eating salmon extend far beyond those omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon also provides bioactive peptides. These improve joint cartilage health, increase insulin effectiveness, and control the inflammation of the digestive tract. Luckily, salmon is delicious both hot and cold. It’s a perfect family meal that pairs well with other high nutrient foods like spinach and black beans. Plus you can use spices like mustard and ginger to make the meal all the more appealing. Lastly, salmon is delicious when served cold on salads. So whether you are eating your dinner in a restaurant or eating it at home, the leftover salmon will make for a healthy lunch the next day.”
“Food here are awesome!!! love it .. real Thai food. Try Pad See eww or Chicken krapraw..they are the best!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“It had been a while since I last came here for brunch, and it still remains one of my best experiences. I honestly can’t believe I had my wedding here, coming back brought back so many great memories. The friendly staff and savory food are just as amazing as I remembered. This is such a great spot for brunch, especially with the live mariachi music that really adds to the atmosphere. There’s plenty of authentic Mexican food to choose from, plus bottomless mimosas and a fun waffle station. Parking is available within walking distance, the bathrooms are clean, and the service is excellent all around. A beautiful place for a special occasion or a relaxed brunch, I’ll definitely keep coming back.”
“What a gem of a restaurant, the quality is clear the second you see the food. The taste is fresh and the bowls are so colorful and nutritious. Great value for the generous portions also. Top not service- my go to restaurant for lunch! Also Rotisserie Chicken is great to pick up for dinner and take home to my family!”
“I was working in the area. Business owner was kind enough to allow me to use restroom, the staff was also friendly. The food smelled amazing. I can’t wait to try”
“La comida es deliciosa 😋 !! El servicio excelente!! Los precios razonables!!”
“Mon-Fri 4pm-10pmBOGO 50% off deal is just the cherry on top. Absolutely phenomenal, the service was constant, the wait was non-existant, but most importantly the food was BLISS. Highly recommend the deep fried philadelphia roll. 11/10 sushi spot”
“Rad experience. Great appetizers. Props to the Chef for making our night special! Best place for parking is the parking garage, but it’s $10 entrance fee….. plus, 4th street gets super packed around 6:30 pm so plan ahead.”
“The shrimp tacos and the tostada de ceviche de camarón is absolutely amazing. Was working in the areas and will always come back here whenever I’m around. The shrimp tacos is really, really good!”
“Great dinner, our server was excellent! Loved the guitarist.”
“My family and I have been customers of this place for over 20 years. There is no better place in Santa Ana (or Orange County for that matter) for a good old-fashioned birria. It is cooked to perfection. I came today after a couple of years, and they have simply not lost their magic touch. The same staff from years ago making the same delicious recipe. Trust me, this is the spot!”
“Had a blast with all of our old friends from back in our "Bamboo Lounge" days. Gari Ann was the perfect Karaoke host. See you all next month!!”
“Ricas empanadas de camarón!! Un delicioso cazuelitas de mariscos! Delicious seafood place!!”
“Food is excellent, excellent service , they take the time to make sure food is 100 % perfect and flavors are amazing!!!!!”
“La comida es muy rica el servicio y en especial el Manager muy atento en todo muchas gracias la pasamos súper chevere”
“We had a carnival birthday party with about 70 adults and kids, and the hot dogs were a hit with everyone! Definitely add bacon. :) We added the salad bar too which was a nice option for some. Overall a great experience.”
“Home made tortillas ❤️ Original Marg ❤️❤️even better with chamoy and tahini !! Food was delicious 😋 Alejandro was great! His service was on point and offered suggestions when I asked for his Favorite! I Will definitely be back when I'm in town!! Parking was easy and the atmosphere was smaller but definitely appreciate that we got in right away no wait for seating after waiting in line for another spot that has no seating and a very long wait! My Belly is so full 🔥💓😍😉💖❤️😁”
“Haven't been since 2017 but lemme tell you I had to look this place up I went here everyday for 3 weeks and it was an absolute monster for flavor. Salsa was hot as F*** but you can get weak salsa if you dont like spicy. The burritos were LA LEVEL”
“Only downside is they would not let my autistic boys have have their own drink there they said they did not allow outside food or drinks. Which made me walk out due ti the fact they only offered 1 option for kids. That was apple juice. Nothing else. Aside from that food and atmosphere is great.”
“10/10 I’ve become a regular at this little shop
The service is outstanding along with the quality of the drinks & food. Everything is fresh from the strawberries to the waffles 🤤”
“Best kambucha in town! Also the staff is so nice! I left my purse at a table in front of their store and the woman who worked there kept it safe for me. She saved me from having the worst day ever! Highly recommend!”
“For what it is(health conscious food) it's good. Not sure who the combo is for, seems a bit strange imo, but if it works it works. The shake is not sweet and is probably good for me lol. Can't complain, you get food that won't hurt you.”
“I can't speak Spanish but I was helping promptly in getting served. Great little bar. I didn't see any dancing but there were sports on the big screens and pool tables.”
“Love this truck. Great Mexican food options that also have vegetarian and vegan options for when you are with a diverse group of people and their preferences. Everything if freshly made as you order.”
“I came here earlier afternoonish for food, had the salmon, it was cooked an seasoned really well compared to similar kinds of locations. The bartender was a rockstar, he was waiting on everyone an the bar with drinks an food, there was a big group of guys an he was on top of refilling off an their drinks and checking closing out all the non drinkers in the restaurant area. No entertainment so I can’t speak on that. But would try it again if I’m traveling an visiting the area again .”

“During our recent 3-day weekend getaway, we stumbled upon Citra Bar & Kitchen at the newly renovated Hotel Zessa, and it quickly became our go-to spot for nearly all our meals. This place is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the modern yet cozy ambiance. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the drinks. The Citra Margarita was refreshingly perfect, and my wife couldn't get enough of the Hibiscus Cooler. We also indulged in the Casamigos Flight, which was a delightful treat. Following our server's recommendations turned out to be the best decision. We tried nearly everything on the lunch and dinner menus, but the Chicken Taquitos stood out as our favorite appetizer—we ordered them multiple times! As for the entrees, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but our top picks were the Chicken A La Brasa, Blackened Mahi Mahi, and Salmon Salad. Each dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Being gluten-free, I was thrilled to find that Citra Bar & Kitchen had plenty of options that catered to my dietary needs without compromising on taste. Overall, our experience at Citra Bar & Kitchen was outstanding. The revitalization of Hotel Zessa and the exceptional dining experience here is a testament to Santa Ana's commitment to enhancing their community. We can't wait to return, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area. You will not be disappointed!”

Top not service- my go to restaurant for lunch! Also Rotisserie Chicken is great to pick up for dinner and take home to my family!”
“This place is really amazing! Great food and hours for us "Night Owls" who eat late..... The pork and shrimp bowls are very filling and tasty and the Garlic Noodles and Crawfish Pasta are great! The marinated grilled pork Ban Mi sandwich is also a favorite. Interesting assortment of cold tea drinks as well. Oops, almost forgot the addictive, crispy egg rolls and Bai buns - a MUST try! Super friendly staff and fast service!”

“We arrived for our 6pm reservation and were seated promptly. Server greeted us, and we placed our drink orders. Drinks arrived and we placed our food orders. I ordered the center cut NY strip, medium rare and Mom got the filet mignon rare. Received our orders and all the food was great! Steaks were cooked to order, sides were very good. The carafe of Conundrum was very tasty! Our server was very friendly and did a great job. A great experience.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great spot for pho and noodles. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tastes fresh. The broth is rich and flavorful you can tell it’s been cooking for hours.
The staff is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend trying the garlic noodles and the spring rolls they’re a perfect combo.
Overall, really good food, good value, and a place I’d come back to again.”
“My first time here was around spring break and we went on a Friday around 10 am and there was no line, plenty of pastries! Today (Saturday) was my second time, I was worried there would be too many people but as others have said, the line moves at a good pace. It took a min, but I was able to find street parking kinda far away but I don't mind the walk. I went around 10:20 am and by 10:35 I was inside. While waiting they passed out some chocolate panettone samples which was so nice of them! I was able to score everything I planned to buy, my rosemary focaccia, cinnamon croissant, croque moniseur, chocolate croissant and tomato cheese danish! I was so happy they weren't sold out, there was plenty of everything. I'm not a morning person but going around 10-11 am worked out for me. The quality is amazing and the staff is so friendly and attentive. Everything came out to be around almost $70 but I do think its worth it! I just wish they had a parking lot since I do have some driving/parking trouble. Make sure to check out their instagram for status on their lines and goods, they're always updating which is awesome!”
“This is a great place to go for amazing Pho. I have visited over 10 places with Vietnamese food. This place is definitely one of the best. Very nice casual dining place in a shopping center right across from Stater Bros on the corner of Edinger and DiFairview. Love the Chicken Bowl with noodles and a crispy egg roll in the bowl. The vegetables and broth blend so well. The prices are very good. They even offer a Senior Discount. Try this place you will be pleased.”
“Ian came back for sure , I loved this restaurant. Grate servicios, very clean.”
