“Christakis has been a go-to favorite for nice dining since the nineties; always great food, always exceptional service. Rack of lamb is the best I've ever had *anywhere*. At this point I guess we're almost part of the family. SO YUM.”
“Zov’s is a very nice place, with a friendly atmosphere and staff, and great food!!”
“We had an amazing meal at Belacan Grill - Malaysian Bistro! We tried the Roti Canai (flaky flatbread with curry dip), Nasi Lemak (coconut rice with all the fixings), and Beef Rendang (tender slow-cooked beef in rich sauce). Everything was delicious and full of flavor. The servers were also super nice and made us feel welcome. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The food was so great! The waiter was so attentive. We had lots left over. And desert to go.”
“The guy who makes the Manti and the Samsa wasn’t there. That made me a little sad but our food came out really fast. It was a very homely atmosphere. The food literally almost caused me to ascend. The food was incredible. I have no complaints.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Super cute store vibe, and they have later hours in case you want a treat after breakfast or lunch. Can try a sample if you aren't sure which flavor base to get, which I appreciated since it was my first time trying some of the flavors. Staff was informative and friendly and most importantly quick with my order!”

The approx wait time was still 30-45min+ depending on the size of your party.
If you’re open to ordering “to-go” would recommend that for sure! Love their product food pictures online to get a better understanding of what you’re going to eat.

“Living in the boonies of San Diego Co has benefits…(no traffic jams)…but few awesome perks…(like Tiki bars!!) Luckily the gods aligned, in Orange Co, and our last stop was the Stowaway. Intriguing, dark-painted, one small door marked the front of a strip-mall establishment… hmmm…sorta scary…but not really!! But there were two of us, and we had researched this place…so… The doorman looked at us, said a few things and unlocked a chain. We walked through curtains into the darkest bar I had ever been in, and shuffled toward the green lit bar…which turned red, then blue. The girl bartender handed us a card which we couldn’t read…it was really dark inside. From the shadows, up walked a bearded guy wearing a black shirt with hibiscus’s, smiled, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m “WILL”…can I explain anything to you? We had lots of questions…about drinks, Tiki ceramics, glassware, appetizers…and WILL cheerfully explained everything…He was fun, cheery, smart, and So Nice!! He brought us amazing drinks (a Tropical Margarita, a Cococano and totally fun ceramic sculptures from which to drink…an Angler Zombie Fish with a light, and Carved Volcano mug that had a flame show-by WILL, included!! Awesome!!) Totally wonderful décor…lights, bamboo furniture, comfy stools, the Skull Cave and waterfall, starry night ceiling, cool pool tables with lotsa room around them…everything thought through perfectly!!! We are definitely going back…VERY soon!!!! Thanks so much for everything, WILL!!”

“I came here after looking at the reviews on Google and I'm thankful I did. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was also phenomenal. I highly recommend this place if you want great food that can be prepared quicker than other places. Personally an awesome experience for me being here. Thank you 🙏”
“Halal spot ; We were on the way to South back home and stop by this restaurant for our light dinner.
I think it’s family owned and the prices are pretty reasonable. The staff were very friendly, and assisted us in ordering. Everything turned out good, they were super nice providing us extra condiments, etc. Be sure to select your spice level wisely cuz we ended up in tears, but we still enjoyed it though.
We hope that we can visit this place again next time we are on the way back from north
** hoping for a new branch near San Clemente soon.. we will be your regular customers”
“Was super excited to eat at Masala Bae. My friend had been hyping the lunch buffet for so long and we would always talk about coming to eat here on a Saturday morning. Well today was finally the day and it really didn’t disappoint.
We showed up pretty much as soon as it opened and only had to wait about five minutes before we could start getting food from the buffet. It was all so delicious! The standouts for me were the paneer and the chili chicken. I felt like these two dishes complemented each other incredibly well. I am not much of a dessert guy but I also tried the different desserts they had and I enjoyed them very much. Especially the custard with the fruits.
The waitstaff were all amazing as well. Super welcoming and friendly, they made us feel right at home. It was nice and cold inside which was also great because of the heat outside. Would love to come back and eat here again.”
“First timer drove all the way from Downey worth the drive. I had the blue cheese bacon burger with garlic fries and of course a Dr. Pepper. Very friendly staff they all help out my daughter had the mushroom burger with onion rings and my son had the bacon cheese burger with tots. A must try the only other thing that caught my eye was the hot wings the table next to us ordered Definitely next time”

“We took the whole family and ate so well. We had garlic naan (amazing!) goat curry, chicken, dal, aloo, mango lassi, etc. Everything was so flavorful and we couldn't get enough. The staff was attentive and kind. We liked it so much we went back their the next night. This is must try if you love indian/nepali food!
Coming back soon!!”
“My man’s addicted to their truffle burgers, he gets 2 every time and they will allow you to add avocado and he generally gets the soup of the day every day I’m a big fan of their various white creamy pastas, including the gnocchi, I always add their chicken if it’s not included already. I also love their curry Ramen, and a few of their paninis. Alfalfa sprout sandwich & Panini Frittata. I also love their Caesar salad with added chicken.I haven’t been there for brunch yet, but maybe that will change soon. Started eating here October 2023 I believe”

“The Jack in the Box in Tustin brand new super nice.. friendly and clean.. I've only ever had a problem at other Jack in the boxes, they don't have the same deals, the one on El Toro and the one in Laguna Beach they seem to have different deals or no deals at all....”
“Another midnight snack favorite spot! Two awesome grandmas running the show at the front line! Savory, crispy on the outside, and soft in the inside for their most famous OB chicken wings.”
“We frequently come here for lunch on weekdays, and the experience never disappoints. The northern Chinese cuisine is truly authentic and packed with flavor. Highly recommend for anyone seeking genuine regional dishes!”

“Decided to come here for a lunch takeout and was immediately greeted with a courteous smile. I ordered a half chicken katsu and half beef belly curry and it was delicious. Chicken katsu has a nice crunch and texture to it and the beef belly has a nice crisp and soft texture at the same time. I will definitely be back in the near future to their other dishes.”
“I think I just had three of the best tacos of 2024. I walked in here expecting things to be good l, but DAMN these were some delicious tacos. Quesabirria, fried fish, and grilled shrimp were unreal! Brought together with two perfect salsas, the tacos were flavorful, distinct, and filling. You don’t want to miss El Bandito.”

“Sake2me Sushi is a hidden gem! The premium sashimi and sushi were incredibly fresh and melted in my mouth—top quality all around. The grilled squid was also a standout: tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Great service, chill atmosphere, and generous portions make this spot a must-visit for sushi lovers. I’ll definitely be back!”

“The chicken is cooked to perfection every time at this location. Customer service is always top tier. I cheated and went to another location and let me just say no comparison what so ever! Anytime I want a 18 piece 😋 😩 Honey Garlic Chicken Wings I'm bringing all family and friends 🧡 to THIS LOCATION! 🤤❤️🔥”
“The tacos were good, I got the azteca taco that had cecina with the cactus, the asada and cabeza. The cabeza was soft, the asada was ok the cecina was pretty good along with the catcus. The salsas were also decent. It's in a market station so you can grab your own drinks and snacks too.
The staff was nice and helpful with the choices on the menu. The seating is outside with a couple of propped umbrellas which is nice during the hot days. Overall decent place.”
“My favorite sushi spot! Every time I've been in, I've had a great time, from great caring servers, to high quality fish, to delicately built plates. Hard to go wrong here. The fish can be a little pricey at times (since they're all market rate), but they do offer high quality options like chu toro, king salmon, and bluefin tuna. Good portion sizes too, whether rolls, sashimi, or other plates. Definitely check this spot out if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.”
“I'm not the biggest fan of ramen but I liked this one! It's a bit pricey (almost $20 per bowl) but that's SoCal! And the bowls are well served. They are rich in flavor. Be warned that there is a waiting system so you probably want to make a reservation beforehand. We registered in person an hour before closing and were let in within 20 minutes. I've never craved ramen before but I am this time!”
“I love this Gem. My favorite place to get Gelato after a great day at the beach! They have all usual flavor plus a few unique ones that I could
Sample. The staff was very helpful and recommended a few that I would never tried, and quickly loved the variety. Love it!”
“Went to the food hall for another restaurant, but it was closed. Staff at Fonda Moderna waved us over and wow am I glad they did. Very friendly and helped us decide what to get. Tacos were amazing. First time I have ever had a lobster taco, fantastic. The Birria was also excellent. Great food and great service, will absolutely go there again.”
“Whenever I come down to visit OC, I start each day at Hola Adios. Their food and coffee are amazing! This used to be the kombucha place back when I lived in Tustin. Sad to see that place go, but so glad that Hola Adios took over. Their seasonal menu is unique and so far, nothing has disappointed us. Cute backyard seating, as well as indoor seating.”
“I gave the atmosphere a 5 even though there are always kids running around. I can't knock them on that, they cater to everyone and the sports vibe is cool. The pizza and wings are some of my favorites! I love this place and will keep coming back. Even the bleu cheese and ranch dressing are great here. I really can't say anything bad about it here! A+”
“Great service, really premium meat, family friendly, we tried Halal lamb and it was vey delicious, tender and perfectly marinated with great spices.
This place is definitely GoTo when you want to Try Korean BBQ style.
Homemade desserts worth the try”

Cheap Eats
“Cream Pan is an absolute gem, and their legendary strawberry croissant is hands down one of the best pastries you’ll ever taste. The moment you bite into the flaky, buttery layers, you’re met with the perfect balance of crispness and softness. Inside, the delicate pastry is filled with a light, smooth custard that pairs perfectly with the fresh, juicy strawberries layered on top. Every element is thoughtfully crafted, making it feel like a little piece of heaven in each bite. Whether you’re a croissant lover or just have a sweet tooth, this is one treat that lives up to the hype and then some. Worth every visit—and the line!”
“Best Taco Tuesday in Tustin at $1.50-2.00 per taco. 3 tacos are enough for lunch, but I usually order 4. I also add a large cold Horchata (cinnamon rice drink) $2.99 and a side of 3 grilled salted Jalapenos $0.75 (not on the menu). This is the closest Mexican street food without driving to Mexico. Enjoy!”
“In a little corner of an unassuming strip of restaurants, water retailers, and miscellaneous vendors sits this diamond in the rough.
My carne asada torta ate like a panini with the bread thinned by the toaster, creating a crispy-ish texture wrapped around the savoury center that burst with flavor like fireworks!
The staff is welcoming and courteous. The matron speaks both English and Spanish, in case you fear ordering outside your native tongue.
Highly recommended. Aces all the way”
“Love Golden Spoon! Best tasting yogurt, hands down! Recommend peanut butter, my fav. Not as many flavors as they used to have, and the peanut butter wasn't working. My gripe is I had the coconut, and it melted before I got it home. Not sure if that's the usual now, I remember the olden days where it would stay frozen.”
“Megan and Yesenia and Guadalupe and Saul were all amazing staff. I can’t recommend this location enough this is my first time coming to cafe rio and we absolutely loved it! We will definitely be back They brought a little souther hospitality to Cali coming from a Georgian”
“This place is absolutely amazing! The food is great and there are so many different options to choose from including beef rolls, fish fellet, and so mucu more. The service is also excellent as the waiter comes every few moments to check up on how you are doing. I would definetly recommend.”
“Came in here a couple days ago, and it was a great visit! The wagyu selection as well as quality is superb, little more on the pricey side but 100% worth it. The service is top-notch, and the ambience is upscale but still relaxed, perfect for any occasion. The A5 wagyu is hands down the best, and the appetizers are great too. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves good food and great experiences. 10/10 would definitely come back! Highly recommend!”

“The food was delicious 😋 I had the crab cakes potato’s and sliced tomatoes, crab/shrimp cocktail and the clam chowder. The service was great and my server Ms Martha was so kind and always smiling. Thank you Ms Martha for giving me a great dining experience and for your service. I will definitely be back to The Crab Cooker in Tustin. I came over from Antelope Valley😊”
“One of the most sub standard experience! The food had all the same curry base, made from canned ingredients. The staff was unhelpful and did not care at all. The seating is narrow and cheap. The portion size of s horrible. The taste of the food is awe filling because it’s probably microwaved rather than cooked properly. Horrible experience. Stay away! There are better Indian restaurants.”

“Will be coming back soon, one of the best AYCEs I've been to. Generous fish portions and appreciate that the rice to fish ratio was very balanced (other restaurants load up on rice). Had really good quality seafood and enjoyed the appetizers as well. Kim, our server, was very cheerful and welcoming. Overall service was fast and definitely had my fill. All in all would recommend.”

“Super clean and spacious interior with plenty of seating and very attentive service. Tucked next to a grocery store with lots of parking, and there’s even a Meet Fresh right next door if you’re in the mood for dessert after!
Tons of menu options and the portions are generous. My favorite dish was definitely the Shanghai rice cakes. It was seasoned perfectly and the texture was so chewy and satisfying. Also really enjoyed the juicy pork dumplings and sautéed string beans with sausage. Would definitely come back again for a comforting and filling meal!”
“Delicious and affordable AYCE KBBQ with quality meats. You can order select meats from the server and they also have a self serve meat bar with lots of options. Few of my favorites from the premium menu were: the wagyu beef belly, prime marinated short rib, and prime marinated boneless short rib cut.
They offer 3 menu options~ weekday lunch ($21.99), signature ($29.99) and premium ($38.99), which all include the meat station.
Great service and they came by often to change the grill.”
“The food was delicious and our server Ashton was incredible. We will be back soon❣️”
