“Ian came back for sure , I loved this restaurant. Grate servicios, very clean.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Hope this place takes off. We were looking for something outside the tired and predictable breakfast options and found Bite Club after a bit of online research. Great value for money, especially considering the price of a strip mall diner breakfast these days. I went for the Enforcer and the kimchi/bulgogi/fried egg flavor and texture profile worked perfectly when stuffed in a buttered and griddled brioche slice. The included drizzle-spread sauce was great, but their special hot spread kicked it up a notch. My wife went for the Scrambler, which is mild and creamy with plenty of fresh avocado slices. It’s worth noting that even if you don’t build your own bite, the set menu sandwiches are highly customizable. The front and back of the house folks were personable and really hustled. One note to the chef: give the cheese a chance to melt a bit if you can. Give this joint a try, for sure!“

“I am not vegan or vegetarian, but went here with someone that is. I found the food to be tasty. That can be tough to accomplish, since I'm used to eating non vegan food. The animal fries were very good and the chicken strips had very good flavor, without the sauce overpowering the food.“

“Good portions and good food and reasonable prices with friendly service“

“The food was INCREDIBLE! Very large portions and fresh, healthy choices for all ages. We will definitely come here regularly after our first visit!“

“Great workers great food 10/10“

“What an awesome little restaurant that popped up here. Was looking to try something new and found this amazing little bao spot. The most amazing thing is how they fry these bao. The bottom is hard and crunchy and the top is soft, making a soup filled bao in either seafood, curry or the standard pork. They sell them in quantities of 6 and 2 to 3 is enough to fill me! Highly recommend a quick lunch or dinner here, you won’t be disappointed in the authentic flavors.“

“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.“

“Great food. Very Happy I stopped there for dinner. I will be going back there again soon.“

“Went on Wednesday night so it wasn't too crowded. Service was great along with the food. They have some good specialty rolls that I enjoyed. They also had some Boba drinks that were fairly tasty. It's a small establishment but I'd recommend checking it out. Good overall experience.“

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“

“I love orange grill!!! Myself and my coworkers frequently get our lunch from here !! I know the owner has changed recently!! The marinade on the chicken seems to be a bit saltier than the previous owner but it’s still good fresh and convenient!!! And the cashier is such a sweetheart“

“What an amazing experience I had today! I came in exhausted from lifting a humongous refrigerator lol..( I'm not a mover person lol) and the gentleman welcomed me right away with some delicious AGUA FRESCA! Chips and salsa ! What a way to welcome a new customer from L.A!!! Very attentive! And the food was super delicious! I highly recommend this place, and thank you Raul!“

“Attention all Final Fantasy 14 fans: This place serves the Xibruq Pibil from the Dawntrails story quests! Its real name is Cochinita Pibil and it's great. You can experience what Koana & Wuk Lamat had here! Taco Tuesdays are $2.50/taco.

“Great food excellent service“

“Great food, ingredients and flavor. Very clean, comfortable, family friendly establishment. Great place to grab a bite.“

“the best place for breakfast 😋“

“The burritos they’re small but very good“

“Skyleur us the best. He is an awesome waiter. He remembered who I was from months ago. He makes the experience that much better! Thanks Skyleur!“

“This is one of those classic, tiny, hole-in-the-wall places that delivers no-frills, fantastic food at a reasonable price. I'd never had tacos de vapor before, and Tito's came highly recommended by a friend - and he was right! I had one taco de rez and one pollo and WOW the flavor! I ordered the combo with beans and rice and both of those were very flavorful as well. I will definitely be back!“

“Was looking for a place near John Wayne airport. Food was delicious, and will return when in the area again.“

“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!“

“Never thought I'd like sushi but now I do!! Very delicious! Will definitely go back again soon! �“

“Moc Kitchen is amazing!

The restaurant has a modern and relaxing vibe. The quality of the food here is amazing. My parents and I got the Moc Bowl (Essentially a Pho Dac Biet). It was absolutely amazing, filled with noodles, meat, and delicious broth. The employees were friendly and attentive to our requests.

They have specials that comes with a bowl of pho and an appetizer, or a BOGO for their Moc Pho. All greatly priced and proportioned.

Highly recommend for Pho Lovers. Absolutely will be back!“

“Everything about this place was amazing, the lady at the counter is really sweet and super nice. The food was bomb, generous portions and every single bite I took was amazing; even reheated the food tasted 10/10. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a wonderful lunch.“

“Best food ever. They make the best beans and the best guacamole.“

“Bangkok Taste has been a family favorite for years, and it just keeps getting better! The recent updates to the restaurant give it such a warm, homey vibe it feels like you’re stepping into a cozy family kitchen where you know the food is going to hit the spot every single time.

The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. They remember faces, make great recommendations, and treat you like family. A rare thing these days!

And the food? Consistently incredible. We never leave disappointed. Our go-to dishes are the Pad See Ew, Tom Yum Soup, Yellow Curry, and Basil Beef. Each one packed with flavor, freshness, and that perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory that keeps us coming back. Every bite tastes like it was made with care and love.

Whether you’re dining in or taking out, Bangkok Taste delivers on all fronts authentic, flavorful Thai food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for comfort food with serious flavor, this is the place.

Five stars all the way. Bangkok Taste is a true gem in Santa Ana!“

“If you are taking a tour of terribly paved industrial sectors you may run across this basic brewery which I've found weirdly chill all 3 times I've been, but beer is good and the folks seem cool. I understand it's been around for a while and still with the beer. C'est la Vie.“

“there food is really good especially there keto tacos...people you should try and eat there food here I promise you that you kept regret it“

“Good breakfast. And good service“

“This place is sooo delicious! We come here every other week. We’ve tried other places, but this place is sooo delicious flavorful and fresh! Highly recommend it! Make your reservations, sometimes it is a wait to be seated. They have indoor and outdoor. If you look at prices, then just go get a California roll at Vons.“

“The tacos al vapor are so delicious top them off with their specialty salsa and the spicy soft carrots. We make sure to stop by everytime we are in the area. The staff is always friendly. There's no other place that makes tacos al vapor this delicious 😋“

“Garlic lemon chicken is really good“

“Todo muy sabroso y muy buena atención..“

“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.“

“This place is outstanding!! We got dinner here and didnt know what to expect. It was fire! Way better then expected. Unique and fresh take.“

“Trust is a restaurant that redefines all others. The concept of a pre-order and trust-us-you’ll-love-it concept for fine dining is absolutely brilliant. Love the family-dining setup where everybody sits at a L-shaped bar looking into the wonder that is the open style chef’s kitchen. The food is expertly inspired and impossibly delectable. Every dinner is different, and the variety keeps you craving more and more. The fantastic wine (and sometimes cocktail) pairing that goes with each 12+ course means you will need to Uber, because there’s no way you are leaving any of the wine in that glass. Trust’s sommelier is top-notch and paired each wine perfectly. The main draw here though is the chance to be regaled by Chef’s explanation of each course. It’s a night filled with irreverent, comedic, and incredible knowledgeable, such that you will come away feeling like you just attended a brash stand-up comedy about culinary genius. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience!“

“Good food, good price and friendly servers. Family own. Recommend this restaurant when you want to have noodles soup for your meal.“

“delicious 😋 la mejor 💯 %..“

“Fantastic shabu-shabu experience from start to finish!

Shabu Shabu Bar in Santa Ana is an absolute must for me when visiting Orange County. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is lively, clean, and modern, with a great counter setup that makes cooking your own meal fun and engaging.

The broths are rich and flavorful (tons of great options), and the meats are sliced perfectly, fresh, tender, and high quality. The vegetable platter is generous and colorful, the sauces and toppings let you customize every bite, and everything feels thoughtfully prepared. The gyoza were crispy and delicious, and the rice paired perfectly with the meal.

Service is friendly and attentive, even when the place is busy. They make sure you’re comfortable, explain the process if it’s your first time, and keep everything running smoothly.

And the cherry on top, free ice cream at the end! Such a nice touch to finish an already great meal.

Shabu Shabu Bar delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Definitely the chicken. I like the choices of sides too. I have to try the rest. I hope we get one in our area, Cypress or Cerritos.“

“Delicious. Clam chowder for me. Sushi and Philly steak sandwich for the others with me. Awesomesauce!“

“Best birria I’ve ever had. And I have had a lot. I literally drank the consommé straight and I’m tempted to go back and order a gallon of it. The staff were so friendly. Parking was easy to find at noon on a Sunday. Lots of seats and not facing the road. Loved it!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“
