“We didn't take advantage of the BOGO deal, but should have! The food was fresh and fast, yummy! My friend said the pho broth definitely tasted different from other pho places he has had, had more depth of flavor and umami. He said made his top three! Salted coffee was strong and delicious, not for the faint of heart. Will definitely try the BOGO deal next time I'm in town!“

“Been here twice and tried a number of dishes. The parking lot is a little sketch sometimes but the service is always great. They some specialty dishes that I don't see everywhere and I love they open early. Vietnamese breakfast, yes please. Every dish I've had taste a lot cleaner/healthier than the other places in OC. This used to be a coffee shop and they swapped to just restaurant because their food was being raved about. I'm a fan.“

“Delicious food and drinks. I’m appreciative that they also offer a beer selection, and though they’re were all canned/bottled, they’re fresh (recently canned/bottled), and they offer a top notch selection. The atmosphere was intimate yet energetic. The staff were friendly, attentive and seemed genuine. 10/10“

“It's delicious little planets like this that keep me 2 sizes over my ideal waistline. The food is fresh, prepared in an open kitchen, and is really, really fricken good. When I say it's good I mean that the food is a master class in the foundational flavor profiles of Mexican-American cooking. It's like watching Tiger Woods' flawless swing at the Master's, Kobe Bryant under pressure, gracefully sinking a three from way outside, or watching Kelly Slater threading a big, dark, and scary Teahupo'o cavern - It's beautiful.
Ordering in English is an option which is nice because my Spanish es "muy informal" (putting it politely). The staff is courteous and friendly. Do yourself a favor and eat her next time your hungry. Chances are, you'll see me :)!“

“Excellent Brazilian food and I felt somewhat healthy eating everything. Fast casual diner/restaurant located in the Nordstrom Rack plaza. Plenty of parking in the nearby parking structure

Food- 5 stars
We ordered the steak plate, the chicken sandwich and the lemonade. Everything was delicious, fresh and excellent. It also felt pretty healthy, as it didn't feel too bloated from the meal, despite the large amount of carbs. Highly recommend upgrading from the fries to the fried yuca

Service- 5 stars
Fast casual diner vibe, but the servers were efficient and kept the place clean

Bottom Line
Excellent Brazilian fast casual restaurant that offers delicious food that doesn't come with a food coma. Will be coming back!“

“Very nice place! I mean but what would you expect from a Marriott? Of course it's going to be perfect. Great layout nice seating and wonderful views. They have both inside and outside seating. They have a fairly simple menu that has a mix of items you'll definitely find something to eat. I went with the burger. It could have been better it was a little greasy and the meat was kind of cheap. I expected a little more than a Cisco Burger patty. Other than the quality complaint I did have a good lunch. Sat outside under the umbrellas the temperature was perfect. The staff was very nice and the food came out fast. This isn't a destination for food but if you're here at the Marriott and you want something to eat this place is a good choice.“

“Update: This has become one of my 2 spots that I go to for AUTHENTIC Hawaiian food. Everything here is delicious. You can watch the chefs grill your meal on an open flame. If you haven't been here, you haven't tasted real Hawaiian BBQ. Warning: the spam musubis sell out, so get there early for a chance to get one. If they sell out, I don't need to tell you how good they are.

OMG. I was recommended to try this place and they were not lying. I didn't take pictures, I was too excited to eat. I could smell the bbq before I walked in. I got the Big Kahuna family meal, its a very generous portion. I also got the beef ribs, those are a must. The only thing I didn't get to try was the spam masubi, but I'll definitely be back.“

“I like the big portion of this restaurant. I went 2 people so we ordered 2 dishes. We tried: 1. Pork Back Bone Stew: very huge portion. The meat is soft and you can feel the broth has been well cooked that gives you the sweet and rich taste. 2. Stir Fried Squid (because I love squid!): very good. This dish can be eaten with rice (if you want to be full) or will paired good with a taste of Soju. The portions are big so don't over ordering or you will have some food to go. The food is a little plaint and there's salt to add (if you are a salty food fan) to assure you don't leave the broth behind. You will feel healthy as you leave the place. Will be great to have for hangover or when you are sick. I went on a weekend night for dinner and the restaurant was a little quiet. I think this place is most suitable for lunch. I would definitely come back to try their other stews and pork belly!“

“Only ever tried the Fire Fries and this is my first time ordering here so I don't know if this is normal for these fries or if I got a weird batch but these are SPICY. I am able to down a pack of Buldak x2 Spicy without a problem so when I say the Fire Fries are spicy, I mean it hurts like the fries hate you, burns it's way down, and while the tongue eventually settles down, my gut is bubbling and it's so painful, I can barely sit straight. Delicious!“
