“This is the place you want to host your event. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. The whole area is spacious and beautiful. The food is amazing. Paracel Seafood never disappoints.”
“I went here for a business meeting with someone I was meeting for the first time. We both were amazed at the quality of the fish. Just on look alone, it looked like what you would see at a high priced sushi spot. They have 50% nigiri, so salmon is like $3.99 for 2 pieces. Tuna is $4.50 for 2 pieces and the most expensive is Otoro at like $15 for 2 pieces. Typically, a 50% off sushi sign would terrify me, and I would be lying if I said i wasn't skeptical the first time I went here but I assure you, the skepticism will be long gone after you see the sushi hit the table. It tastes incredible and it was so good that after going my first time, I went again 2 more times over the course of the next 2 weeks. This sushi spot is 50 minutes from where u live in Santa Monica and I plan to absolutely return soon. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“I cannot say enough good things about the food and service here. The service is exceptional in every way, the food is wonderful. We had the best time here and i am looking forward to going again.”
“Everything from the entrance to seating, vibe /music & of course food. Everyone has been so friendly & attentive & the food is fresh, savory & delicious. Feels like we're visiting friends. We'll definitely be coming by more.”
“Came here on Sunday afternoon, the parking was pretty full. Ended up ordering mango tango, taro twist, and the krak signature milk tea. All 3 were good, I added pudding into the taro twist. The interior was pretty cool, got some nice art work hanging on the wall. The place gets busy, but the staff here remains nice and patience with everyone order. Overall I would come back.”

“The sushi here was phenomenal! I’ve been vegetarian for three years now, and this sushi really hit the spot. It tasted just like the real deal! It’s a crime that this place was empty during lunch hour because it deserves more attention! I gave the restaurant 3 stars on atmosphere because the outside is super uninviting (we almost thought the restaurant was closed because) the windows are all covered up. But the inside is nice, and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: All of it is vegan, so by default vegetarian.-”
“I've been going to this restaurant for nearly 3 decades. This is still our family favorite for traditional Korean style Chinese food. Their Jampong and Jjajangmyun always hit the spot. Their staff has also remained mostly the same since we first started going here. Food is always delicious and consistent.”
“I go there almost every month and the truth is that the quesabirrias are very good. The staff is generally bilingual. The only thing is that the bathroom is located at the back of the place and you have to go out, but other than that everything is very good with the food. I recommend the pineapple water, the quesabirrias and the tripe and head tacos ?”
Restaurants with Delivery
“It’s Halal restaurant. Food is fresh. We had Kabsa and Grill mixed. They service big portions. One plate can feed two people.Service is perfect. They are very generous and welcoming.Price is very appropriate.The only thing which I didn’t like most is the strong test and smell of lamb ground and kabab needs more tenderiser and spices.Give it a try!”
“This is the best place to try Vietnamese-style coffee. I like the cream and taro on top and the rich taste of the coffee. The atmosphere is also nice and it is worth the price for this.”
“Food was quick, fresh, and very very good! Pricing is really good considering what Biden and Newsome have done to this placeBoth fish taco options were exceptional!”
“Phenomenal food and service.I've had just about every dish on the menu, and have not been disappointed yet.Being a smaller restaurant, the care from the staff is shown. They are quick to get the food out to you, and that doesn't mean it will be found lacking.The staff are always super friendly and responsive.I can always wholeheartedly recommend this place, since it nevers fails.Always excited to come again and have good times.”
“Service was fantastic, ordered a XL pizza which was huuuge, 32 slices. When I saw it I was worried it might be doughy in the center. Pizza was crisp and delicious. Would recommend”
“My favorite place to get egg coffee outside of saigon or hanoi! Better than even some places in vietnam actually. The owner is super duper sweet and helpful. Every drink we have ever gotten here was excellent.The place is in the middle of kind of a drab shopping mall. So its hard to imagine such a gem can be found here. But give it a try. So so good.”
“Pho 101 offers an exceptional dining experience for lovers of Vietnamese cuisine. From the moment you step in, the ambiance is inviting, with its cozy yet modern decor.Their pho – a delightful blend of savory broth, tender noodles, and fresh herbs, served piping hot with a generous portion of your choice of protein.Accompanying the pho are their delectable egg rolls, crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside. Each bite is a symphony of taste and texture, leaving you craving for more.The service is prompt and friendly, adding to the overall pleasurable dining experience. Whether you're a pho aficionado or just craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine, Pho 101 is a must-visit destination.”
“Amazing and so cute! Love the ice cream, they made it so cute. Service is fast. I definitely recommend it because the price is affordable not too expensive and the designs are worth the price!”
“My name is Tyler & I'm with a local fencing company down the street. This place has been my GO TO SPOT FOR YEARS. I've been going here since I can remember, I go at least once a week to fill my craving of a ham n scram burrito. I even have their stickers all over my work truck. It's my Sunday routine You get the point about ham n scram, they are my favorite breakfast burrito spot around. Not only do they makes great burritos, they also have a great staff. Everyone is super friendly and always making sure everyone is getting there food. They are a small shop but they do crank out burritos on the fly. You can always call in which is super nice , so you don't have to wait incase there is a line. Average time for a burrito is roughly 10min , which is in my option is top notch services considering how many people they are serving& they are cooking everything FRESH! You can taste how fresh everything is, never had a day when I got a bad burrito. That's why I love this place, I know what quality I'm getting every time I order. If you like ham , then go give this place a try because you won't be disappointed. They have been my favorite spot & will always be favorite spot as long as they keep providing those killer burritos HAM N SCRAM ON WESTMINSTER BLVD”
“A nice place to come get strong, aromatic Vietnamese coffee. The place is fancy and well decorated. Staff are friendly and tables are clean and inviting. I love their classic Vietnamese Coffee. It is strong so be sure to let the ice melt a little so it's not too strong or bitter. I will definitely come back here to get some more coffee drinks. The plaza has adequate parking and not too crowded.”
“I came back to Ding Dong for the second time with my boyfriend, the milky flan is now my favorite shave ice. Their ice noodles is very unique and it visually pretty. The inside give out a very cute vibe with tables to sit and sofas as well. The service was good, the staff took our order even though they almost close and gave us a generous amount of everything. He even asked if I can eat peanut and asked for my opinion after I left. Definitely coming back again!”
“We first dined here in the mid 2000's, the place was a bit small then, when I tasted the sauce (meat sauce/spaghetti), I was shocked to see it literally tasted just like our family's sauce that my mom had taught me to make (we are Italian of course), the food was so good, and I got to meet the original owner and chef, he spoke very broken English, but we discovered we were from the same part of Italy thus, the sauce! After that, we ordered one of their humungous pizzas for a party and it was so awesome! We moved away in 2004, but then I began working in the area in 2018 and went in to find his sons had taken over, and they had expanded by renting the unit next door! I told his son I used to eat there 15 years ago, and he welcomed me back, the pizza was just as great as I remembered, I have since taken friends there and the food is always the very best as well as the service, if I could give this restaurant 25 stars I would.Parking: Located in a strip mall next to a grocery store, but there is always tons of parking.”

“I’m from San Diego headed to Beverly Hills and had to stop to charge my Tesla .my mother and I got hungry and saw this place on Google five minute walk away.The whole experience was wonderful. I was greeted by a kind, middle-aged woman and handed a menu. While I was waiting for my order to be prepared. Two little kids ran up to the man in the kitchen and asked if he could open their orange soda for them, the clip for the soda was broken off so he gave them a new one. After watching this all go down in the distance, with a smile on my face, I made eye contact with the guy behind the counter & he offered me an orange soda :).Orange soda is my favorite. Today is my birthday. He didn’t know that.Food came out pretty quick.Was delicious.Easiest five star review of my life.Thank you so much.”
“I had a potluck for the office and was desperate for something tasty to bring! These were perfect! Tasty, fresh, and easy to transport. Can't wait to come back!”

“Came here last night with friends, the food was great and the owner was friendly. Will definitely come back when we are in the area!Kid-friendliness: Have two kids bowl but I think my son who is 10 could probably finish a regular size (they have kid size, regular and large).”

PHỞ THÌN
“Not sure about Phở here... I enjoyed the fresh Pho noodle but the broth seemed to be missing a lot of those flavors that I expected from Pho... Phở Thìn originated from North Vietnam so maybe that's why??? It added fish sauce to make it a bit saltier, not because I want it salty, but to make up for those missing flavors.”
“This place blew me away actually. I went in expecting average Banh Mi but that delicious grilled chicken sandwich I ate came toasted by default, super fresh and abundant ingredients, and the sauce was hella good. Had to buy another one to go for later. Service was great. Ambiance was really nice too actually, lots of tables and a Spanish vibe going on with the music and paintings. Definitely coming back here again soon.”

“It's a truly "blink and you might miss it" building in Westminster which my Wife & I had seen on numerous occasions, yet this was the time we didn't drive past and decided to see what the menu had to offer. Working in an Italian restaurant myself naturally heightened my curiosity about the lil' establishment as I ordered the Spicy Chilli Garlic Pappardelle with mini wontons in it. My only knock on it would've been the cold pieces of garlic in it which clashed with what otherwise was an ample-sized serving for $10.99 and my Wife got the Spaghetti & Meatballs dinner which she said had a truly good sauce slathered on it that she'd eat by itself. The meatball was average by her standards and we're both "Foodies" who have experienced Italian food in Rome, so our standards are elevated to a degree. We coupled our meals with the garlic toast which was soft and flavourful and some drinks. The woman at the register was very vibrant in her spirit and we are certainly looking forward to another visit soon to check out the other menu options which were sold out when we arrived around closing time.”
“So glad to see the new location on Bolsa that is across the street from my hair salon.This second location, located at the back of a strip mall, is more spacious inside with a small seating area to enjoy one's freshly pressed cane juice drinks.I ordered two large drinks: Mia Pome $7.00 (Cane Juice w/Pomegranate) and Mia Berry $7.00 (Cane Juice w/strawberry puree and sliced strawberry).The order was prepared quickly and I started my 52 mile commute home.I couldn't wait to enjoy my drink, so I was sipping mine on the EB91. It was refreshing and made my drive more tolerable. The only slight difference I noted was that the cane juice wasn't as sweet as it normally is at the original location. Not sure if that is due to the cane crop itself or maybe there is some extra water being added.I arrived home and my wife was very happy to see that there was still ice in her drink. She also mentioned how the cane juice did not seem as sweet as her last one as well. Despite that, we both still enjoyed our refreshing drinks.Looking forward to the opening of their third, undisclosed location mentioned on their website!”
“I live in las vegas. Phoholic is my favorite pho restaurant anywhere outside of Vietnam ??. Everything is fresh , broth is full of flavor. Sometimes when you come early they have "thit obama" . It's like a minced filet mignon "secret menu" sooo good, melts in your mouth.”
“cosy and super yummy Pho. Best in town, especially the turmeric fall filled the beef chicken also seafood, vegetarian tofu, with mushroom pho, is also very good as, avocado shrimp roll is must try.”
“Flavor: 5/5 - The tuna melt and tomato soup combo is incredible, creating a perfect soup and sandwich experience for a cold day.Price: 4/5 - The prices were quite reasonable.Quality: 4/5 - Well-crafted and homemade recipes, with some ingredients listed as organic. However, the presence of additives and cooking oil quality remains unknown.Service: 4/5 - The lady who took my order was kind, and the food arrived promptly.Ambiance: small, quaint, and geared towards takeout.”
“Although I've been to California three times, I've never been here. Even though it was only my first time, I was completely satisfied with the service here. I rediscovered the taste of spicy noodles like when I was in Vietnam. Here too, the space is spacious and comfortable, and the staff is also very enthusiastic.Parking: There is free parking in front of the shop”
“Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had so far with modern coffee shops.Went during the weekend so it was definitely busy but worth the wait nonetheless.Presentation is on point with drinks and desserts, the interior has that modern Korean coffee shop vibe (if that’s your thing) and service and staff were friendly.If I’m looking for coffee and dessert, this is the place I’ll definitely be coming back to.”
“Le Croissant Dore has been our family's breakfast haven for over a decade, and it's high time we shared our long-standing love for this place. The comforting aroma of delicious food and the warm ambiance make each visit a delight. Our go-to favorites, the Beef Stew (Bo Kho) served with French bread and the satisfying Nam Vang egg noodle soup (Mi Nan Vang), have consistently satisfied our taste buds.Despite our joy in exploring nearly every item on their menu, these two dishes have become our regular indulgences. Complementing these delectable meals, their hot tea and coffee always hit the spot, providing the perfect pairing. And the delightful almond cookies? They're a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth.However, a word of advice: if you prefer to avoid cigarette smoke, it's best to request seating away from the door or outside. Older men often gather there for a smoke, and the odor can waft inside, affecting the dining experience. This minor inconvenience aside, the cozy ambiance and consistently friendly service continue to make Le Croissant Dore a top choice for our family's breakfast outings. It's a testament to their quality and a spot we're happy to recommend for a delicious start to the day.”
“Our favorite drink here is the 'House of Kards'. It's the best Viet Coffee we've ever had. The balance of Coffee/Sweet & Cream is just perfect! When you find a favorite Coffee like this, you tend to go a lot and get the same drink, and because of that we noticed the consistancy of the drink making. We are never let down and always get the same taste every time. It's truly outstanding.There are some great people who work there too, which my Wife and I are always happy to go and see. It really makes the whole experience great, and we always look forward to going. Shout out to Orion, Maite and Chris <3The decor is cool, and there's always good music playing. You can purchase the drinks at a Kiosk or at a checkout. The menu is full and with very inventive and funny names like the "Dew Barrymore" Ha! They are also customisable and the staff are always more than happy to give you a taster of the drinks you might want to try.Parking is great and they open late too!!Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and funWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Cute little place. Their drink was served in a reusable bottle. We got a strawberry slush and green Thai tea. They both were perfectly sweet without being overly sweet and the bubbles were the perfect texture.”
“My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place and are frequent visitors! This is one of the only places that has great tabbouleh and turkish salad! I would recommend to call ahead so you can pick up your order quick, and don't forget to ask for the yogurt sauce! It pairs amazingly well with the pita bread. Lots of room to dine in, but they also get a lot of togo orders.”
“Went to Uncle Pete's for breakfast. The store has a nice relaxing atmosphere and good service. My eggs and pancakes were excellent. I would give a 5 except once the food was delivered nobody came to ask how we were doing and I was in need of a refill of my tea.”
“Just delicious Vietnamese food with a few out of the ordinary dishes. The dining area is just three tables, but very clean and bright. The proprietor could not be nicer. Would return in a heartbeat if I lived closer.”
“LOVE In-N-Out! Normally would be 5 stars all around, except that this specific location is in a very sketchy part of town. There's no inside seating, which makes it unsafe for teenagers/young adults to visit after dark unless using drive thru”
“Hidden in between the 22 & the 405 in an office complex is Cafe Miro. Decor is clean & welcoming despite its corporate surroundings. The owner was super friendly and agreed to make me breakfast even tho it was a little past 11am which apparently is the cut off/transition time. I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito with hash browns that was cooked perfectly. He even brought me a bottle of his homemade hot sauce that was delicious and in my opinion made the meal. Def worth a try!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this spacious Dim Sum restaurant. With its ample seating and numerous tables, it's perfect for gatherings of any size. Good variety of Dim Sum selections as well as regular menu options, each plate bursting with flavor and priced reasonably between $5 to $8. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast or lunch, the service is quick, allowing you to savor your meal without rushing. The parking lot in front of the restaurant is huge, it looked pretty busy all the time. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and would highly recommend it for a satisfying meal any time of day.”
“Great service. Tasty seafood. Delicious appetizers and soups. Wish I took pictures but as soon as it hit the table we dug in. Our family tried cajun edemame, wings, dozen fresh oysters, clam chowder, gumbo, bags with king crab, snow crab, shrimp were huge!, mussles, clams. Worth the money!!!”

“I feel like people are sleeping on this place. Shimizu is a hidden gem and a great asian fusion resturaunt. I've actually been here twice. The first time I went was last summer for my birthday dinner with a friend. The service was great and food was delicious. I went again for my fiancée's birthday and we were surprised to find they had an awesome happy hour on Sunday! Service is great, food is delicious. We tried the coconut mango scallops, carpacio, Okonomyaki Brussel Sprouts, uni udon, and 2 rolls (which were bogo!) We thought everything was delicious. Our favorites were the scallops, capacious, and uni udon. We loved it and definitely would come back!”
“The food is good! The horchata was not good at all it didn't taste like horchata. The price is ok for the amount of food you get. I would probably give it a second chance.”
“I've been going to this restaurant for nearly 3 decades. This is still our family favorite for traditional Korean style Chinese food. Their Jampong and Jjajangmyun always hit the spot. Their staff has also remained mostly the same since we first started going here. Food is always delicious and consistent.”
“We've been coming here for years for Sunday brunch and are so sad to hear it's closing. Alma has been the best server and always makes sure we have a great experience!”
“Huge fan of their salmon and grilled prawns spring rolls! I always order the tray for parties. Make sure to call in advance. Their dipping sauces are also mixed very well. Not too sweet or too sour.”
“My husband and I stumbled upon Cajun Islands last Saturday, and it was an absolute delight. Tucked away from the bustling crowds, this hidden gem served up some of the best crawfish we've ever tasted. Our server, Karmen, made our experience truly memorable with her attentive service and warm hospitality. Despite the restaurant not being too busy, Karmen and the boy helping her make sure that we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our meal.What truly impressed us was the genuine kindness and generosity displayed by the staff. Despite our initial oversight in not having enough cash for a tip, Karmen graciously allowed us to linger, refilling our waters and making us feel right at home in the neighborhood. Moreover, the boy helping her went the extra mile by offering to change the TV channel to accommodate my husband's preference for the baseball game.As newcomers to the area, this level of hospitality meant the world to us. Even though Karmen didn't receive a tip initially, her professionalism and warmth never wavered. In fact, her genuine care left such a positive impression that my husband made a special trip back to the ATM just to ensure she received the appreciation she deserved.In summary, Cajun Islands is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where delicious food meets exceptional service and genuine kindness. We'll definitely be returning soon to enjoy more of their Cajun food . Thank you Cajun islands!”
“This Place Is Amazing, I Had their Carnitas tacos with home made tortillas an My Wife had a Menudo Not only do they sell Menudo on the weekends But Everyday! I HIGHLY Recommend this Family Own Restaurant.Parking: Plenty Of Parking Space.”
“Very quiet, everything good seasoning and a man who at night goes and pays beers to all the people who are in the place, we were 3 friends and he gave us 3 rounds of beer for ”
“They offer large portions of a variety of vietnamese broken rice (com) and vermicelli (bun) dishes. Don't expect great service, but the food is great and not too expensive.”
“I am writing this review based on the stellar service, particularly from Kevin. I was so impressed by the person and any business would be beyond lucky to have him. He actually comes off as he genuinely cares, and I think this is increasingly rare in this world -- he is a breath of fresh air and truly blew me away with his service and care. I am visiting and my friend wanted to eat there. I am vegan and the store has little to offer in the way of vegan options. I asked what could be done for someone who is vegan and words can't describe how attentive and caring he was during the whole process. He made suggestions, took notes amidst kind chat and assurances that weren't even asked for, and then at the end, he even double checked, asking the person who cooked it, again without my asking, "You didn't put cheese on it, did you?" These types of people really should be recognized and I hope he is. We go through days full of people trying to get through the hum drum, collect their measly checks and go home. And nobody can blame them -- things are hard these days. But it makes people like Kevin even more of a rarity and I really hope his display of exceptional character is rewarded.”
“Jessica always has Great service! Coldest beer in town. Thank you Jess for the great customer service. She makes the best shots ! And I will always keep coming back for that smile she makes the best shots!”
“Absolutely, I recently had my wedding at Royal Restaurant and Banquet, and I couldn't be more delighted with the experience. The food was absolutely delicious, prepared with utmost care, and the service was impeccable. A special thanks to the manager, Phuong, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His attention to detail and warm demeanor made our celebration truly memorable. The venue itself is beautiful, exuding luxury and a fashionable ambiance. I highly recommend Royal Restaurant and Banquet for any special occasion. Five stars!”

“They have really good croissants, bacon/egg cheese/ham for a good price around $6... And donuts are always fresh in the morning, a mixed dozen for around $17 and specialty donuts and pastry that are one of a kind.”
“Hewlett carpet cleaning did a fantastic job cleaning my 5 rooms. I called and they gave me same day cleaning, the guys were amazing and kind. I would definitely be calling to get my rooms cleaned in the future.”
“Cleanest Carl's Jr I've seen around here! Customer service was amazing. The manager here, David, is very accommodating and attentive and even brought out the food to my table. I know fast food chains are a hit or a miss but this location will definitely be my go to for Carl's Jr.”
“Great after a long night shift. It's 24hr, the staff was so welcoming, the atmosphere was relaxing. I went at 4am with my wife, I had the number 11, she had the number 9, both were so delicious. The prices were great for the portion sizes we got. We will definitely come back. My new favorite place to go after work.”
“It is a McDonald's. Foor is fast and inexpensive, place was clean, and the staff were polite and friendly. The double cheese burger are two for 3.99. Can't beat that.”
“Del Taco, an epicurean sanctuary where the marriage of culinary ingenuity and sensory delight takes place, beckons discerning palates into a realm where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. As one steps through the gastronomic threshold of Del Taco, it is akin to traversing the portal into a gastronomic Shangri-La, where flavor profiles unfold with the precision of a well-composed symphony.The tortilla, a seemingly mundane canvas, emerges as the cornerstone of Del Taco's culinary oeuvre. It is not merely a vessel but a metaphorical blank slate awaiting the painter's brush. This tortilla serves as a medium for the culinary artists, a blank canvas upon which the vivid strokes of seasoned meats, crisp produce, and tantalizing sauces intertwine, creating a culinary masterpiece that transcends the realm of fast food.The seasoned beef, a maestro in the orchestrated ensemble of tastes, weaves a complex tapestry of flavors that resonate with the sophistication akin to a symphony. Its nuanced notes of cumin, chili, and garlic perform a culinary sonata, each bite a crescendo that unfolds on the palate. The grilled chicken, with its smoky timbre, plays a harmonious tune, adding layers to the gastronomic composition that are rich and resonant.Del Taco's commitment to the sensory arts extends to the verdant embrace of fresh produce. Crisp lettuce and succulent tomatoes, reminiscent of a meticulously tended garden, bestow vibrancy upon each taco, mirroring the hues of an artist's palette. The finely diced onions serve as a piquant undertone, an essential counterpoint that completes the symphony of flavors. Vegetables, traditionally relegated to mere accompaniments, emerge as vital components that contribute to the multisensory experience.The crinkle-cut fries, an understated masterpiece in their own right, are golden tendrils of perfection. Their meticulous preparation transcends the banality of fast-food fare, elevating them to the status of gastronomic wands that beckon with each delectable crunch. The nachos, an assemblage of cheesy opulence, invoke imagery of a culinary mosaic, each chip a brushstroke contributing to the grandeur of the edible artwork.Del Taco's culinary craftsmanship is further exemplified by the condiments, encapsulated in unassuming packets. The Del Inferno, with its creamy richness, and the Del Scorcho, with its zesty kick, are not mere accoutrements but alchemical elixirs that empower patrons to customize their gustatory odyssey. These sauces are metaphors for individuality and choice, transforming each dining experience into a bespoke masterpiece.In the realm of fast-food establishments, Del Taco distinguishes itself as an epicurean atelier, transcending the ordinary and inviting patrons to partake in a sensory symphony. The drive-thru is not merely a transactional interface but a portal to an elevated plane where taste becomes a nuanced exploration. Del Taco's menu is a testament to culinary finesse, a mosaic of flavors meticulously curated to resonate with the refined palates of its patrons. It is a gastronomic odyssey that challenges preconceptions, where each bite is an invitation to savor the artistry that defines the intersection of fast food and haute cuisine.taco”
“Okay, not only does this place soar when it comes to paying attention to details and always getting it right, this del taco is going great! So much better than before, it's come a long way in the 15 years I've been coming here. It is always clean, and I appreciate how kind the window lady is to me every morning she makes my day bright! Gracias!”
“This place is consistent with their food. All dishes are tasty. The prices are reasonable. The place is small and ok. Service is not bad. Overall this place is where you would always go back to after trying or experiencing with newly opened restaurants.”
“Back here again for another bday. Our go to place for early morning meeting to celebrate a friend's special day. Love the egg coffee here and the boss is very attentive and friendly”

“This restaurant is a gem! Super friendly and helpful service and great choices. We enjoyed catching up with our family while sharing a large room with others surrounded by tasteful decorations. If there were 6 stars, I would have given them!”
“BANH TET REVIEW--wow, their banh tet ($36) is nothing like I've ever seen before. It's packed with meat, both lean and fatty. The sweet rice is soft with just the perfect amount of green bean. Unlike other places that are packed with green bean and just 1 strip of meat with hard rice. Bought 1 yesterday and already almost finished it all by myself! Also tried their Cha Chien (fried pork loaf $9) and Dua mon (dried radish pickles). It was the perfect pairing since it gives the dish a crunchy texture. Will definitely be coming back to get more”
“I cannot say enough good things about the food and service here. The service is exceptional in every way, the food is wonderful. We had the best time here and i am looking forward to going again.”
“The Best Pizza in Town with Delicious WingsBig Rob's Pizzeria has become my go-to spot for pizza in town, and for good reason. Their pizzas are consistently delicious, with the perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings on a crispy crust. Every bite is a delight, and I always find myself satisfied after enjoying a meal here.In addition to their fantastic pizza, Big Rob's also serves up some of the best wings in town. Whether you prefer them spicy or mild, their wings are always cooked to perfection and never fail to impress.The service at Big Rob's Pizzeria is also worth mentioning. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure that every customer feels welcome and well taken care of.”
“This food is INCREDIBLE! The truck came to our apartment and I wasn't expecting too much, but this food blew us away!! I've already emailed the complex to ask them back! Thanks to the team!”
“Whenever I'm in Westminster, I try to drop by this gem. Parking is plenty, as it's next to the stater bros. This is the only place I will order the special banh mi over my go-to grilled pork. Everything in it has the perfect ratio, and I just... no notes. Get it. They also have a great selection of vietnamese pastries and goodies if you're more snackish than hungry. I recommend the cow cakes. They're so ploosh and the coconut syrup has a bit of saltiness. It's excellent. Customer service here is always superb.”
“When I first tried a bahn mi sandwich, I was 15 years old, I was not in love until I had a @carrotanddaikon crispy pork belly bahn mi, then I was hooked and addictively in love!!! I got my parents and sister seriously hooked and this addiction is really affordable, with tax it's a little over $8! Lots of places I know charge double and it's nuts! The bread is always crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. The combination of regular and spicy mayo hits the spot with a very generous layer pretty thick slices of crispy skinned pork belly, then the pile of pickled carrots and daikon, cucumbers, jalapeño slices and cilantro. All of that for around $8 and for me, it's too large that I share it with my mom or kids. There are over 20 different types of Bahn Mi sandwiches to pick from but the crispy pork belly is my FAVORITE! This spot also has great drinks such as the watermelon juice and if you feel you need caffeine, this spot also serves @whipdessertcafe coffee drinks. I enjoyed the Ube and Egg Cream Topped Latte! The best part now, this spot makes it so easy to order now either online or via their app! Just keep in mind, this is like a quick pick up spot and not really a chill spot.”
“I’ve been coming to Aiyu Cha since the end of 2020 and they never cease to amaze me on their amazing service and bold flavors!I found this location back when I was working at the Bella Terra with a couple coworkers and we quickly fell in love, they were extremely quick, friendly and offer a good assortment of milk teas and regular teas.I recently returned with a friend, they got the Taiwanese milk tea with boba(oolong milk tea) and I got my usual tiramisu milk tea with boba. The girls up front on 3/17 at 6pm were amazing, super friendly and they gave my friends lots of recommendations. I recommend them!”
“Everything from the entrance to seating, vibe /music & of course food. Everyone has been so friendly & attentive & the food is fresh, savory & delicious. Feels like we're visiting friends. We'll definitely be coming by more.”
“Came here on Sunday afternoon, the parking was pretty full. Ended up ordering mango tango, taro twist, and the krak signature milk tea. All 3 were good, I added pudding into the taro twist. The interior was pretty cool, got some nice art work hanging on the wall. The place gets busy, but the staff here remains nice and patience with everyone order. Overall I would come back.”
“Love the atmosphere here. The waiters are very efficient and good at customer service. We really enjoy the bánh đa as the broth is very fresh. The miến trộn khô has just enough sauce to make the food delicious and not overly salty. Overall, we’re really satisfied with the food and drinks. We’ll definitely come back!”
“This place has everything for my cookie baking needs! They even do custom cookie cutters with a QUICK turn around time! Way better than using Etsy and having to wait weeks!”
“The sushi here was phenomenal! I’ve been vegetarian for three years now, and this sushi really hit the spot. It tasted just like the real deal! It’s a crime that this place was empty during lunch hour because it deserves more attention! I gave the restaurant 3 stars on atmosphere because the outside is super uninviting (we almost thought the restaurant was closed because) the windows are all covered up. But the inside is nice, and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: All of it is vegan, so by default vegetarian.-”
“This was a chill spot. We went here late one night while on vacation in socal. It did feel more like someone's home/hangout spot than a boba shop. It was still chill. The drinks were okay. I should've ordered something different, but I didn't hate my drink. Service was nice, but slow. I think it took 20+ minutes to get our drinks (4 total) after ordering. We also waited 10 minutes to order. There were a lot of fish tanks every where as well. A few other "regulars" were here gaming in their laptops as well, so it wasn't awkward. I'm not sure I'll be back, but glad I got to try this place.”
“Everything was freshly made, and delicious. Woke up craving Vietnamese (pho ga) chicken noodle soup this morning. Found this place on Magnolia in Little Saigon that serves it up right.The Chinese donuts are freshly fried and taste great with the broth and coffee.????”
“Best buffalo wings we've found within the bounds of Long Beach, Seal Beach, Westminster, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Costa Mesa or Newport Beach.”
“The staff from Diamond who served at our party were absolutely amazing. They paid attention to every detail, ensuring that we could fully enjoy ourselves. Moreover, they were incredibly fun, kind, and pleasant to interact with. Huge kudos to the crew at Diamond Seafood 3 for making our party truly fantastic. While the food was outstanding, as expected, it was the staff who truly made the day extra special. Thank you all so much!”
“This is my favorite restaurant! The food is great, the service, especially by Sean and the rest of the team is the best! Highly recommend! Plus it’s the only place in town that stays open the latest! Very friendly atmosphere. Great food, impeccable service and awesome atmosphere equal an amazing experience. I’d give 100 stars if I could!!!”

“Awesome little pizza place!This is my dad's favorite spot, so when I asked for pizza he knew where to go. We got a pizza with tons of meat and veggies, one Italian sub, basket of Garlic bread, one chocolate cake and one spumoni ice cream.Holy heck. Everything was so good! And the prices are not too bad either. I didn't get a chance to look at the full menu since when I arrived the food just got to the table. But there wasn't a single bad item.I believe they have other Italian dishes and they serve beer and wine.The restaurant itself is pretty clean. There's bathrooms for customers. Some mini game machines for kids. Service was very quick and the staff was very friendly.Would highly suggest trying it for a family dinner out.Parking: Huge parking lot outside.”
“Got an amazing Bacon avocado cheeseburger here with fried zucchini and it was delicious. Came out to about 18 bucks and it was hot off the grill and absolutely delicious. Definitely will return.”
“Very nice and clean place friendly staff and very good food fresh and delicious service is great considering that food is cook when you order it don't take a long time I highly recommended this restaurant.”
“I have never had such excellent customer service at a Weinerschnitzel as I did today with Edwin! Seriously. And that's even saying all my experiences are great. His was just exceptional! I felt like l was at Chick Fil A!”
“Vegetarian options: Have plenty of vegetarian options.Parking: Plenty of free lot parking. Well worth the drive.Kid-friendliness: Worth the street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Worth while and free!”
“This is a great place to get a hot dog. Especially if you like Chicago hot dogs. Their dogs taste great and they add fresh toppings. They have poppy seed buns and the hot dogs snap when you bite into them.If you love onions I would recommend the sour krout dog. The onions are freshly grilled and it also comes in a poppy seed bun.A great side dish is their fries, they include a couple of you only get the Chicago dog but some fries on the side really complete the meal.This location looks like a good truck but they do have out door seating and plenty of parking.”
“First Impressions: loved the fact that it has a drive through. Fast and clean and efficient service The Noms: mung bean milk tea - my favorite drink and my go to... also the only one I ever order. I love mung bean and this is perfect. I love that I can adjust the sweetness (easy sweet). The only downside is I asked for light ice (because I hate watery drinks) but by the time I finished my drink I saw that the cup was 50% ice... wonder what regular ice would have been like. That's probably the only downside. In Conclusion: I don't know any other spot that has a mung bean drink like this, so this is my recommended spot for this kinda drink”
“This must be my 2nd or 3rd visit from this place and it's always a treat. I ordered drive thru: Breakfast Burrito - the burrito was good but it just has too much potatoes in it and less egg/spam. No beans either. 1/2 carne asada nachos - this is worth $13.99. Not as much nachos but there's a decent amount of meat, sour cream, guacamole, onions, and cilantro. Addicting. It was worth the drive. I was satisfied and I will definitely be back for some more. Come and check this place out.”
“Breakfast bowl is my favorite with various saucesParking: Parking next to bldg is limited but it's located in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking.”
“Great service Leslie took my order. She was very friendly food was the bomb order the special 799 big char chili. It was yummy. I definitely will return to this location the stores always clean. ?”
“Always consistent, always friendly, always fast. I get to eat here only a few times a year because I live in Philadelphia now, but this is my go to when I'm in Orange County.”
“Very friendly staff. Restaurant was clean. There are plenty of tables, clean restrooms.Food came out quickly and accurately. It was hot and fresh!Looked like the drive thru orders were behind pushed out quickly as well.”
“Yesterday I was running a little late andI got to the speaker asked for my mobile order they said they didn't have it. I checked the app and sure enough, I ordered at the wrong location. I was sad but they were able to help me at the speaker place a new order and also communicated that I should call the store so they can cancel the order. When I got to the window, I was greeted with someone who was so kind enough to hand me the drink because he knew how frustrating and disappointing the situation can be. I wanted to pay because I just didn't feel like it was anyone else's fault. But he insisted I just take it. I'm so happy that I stopped here because they drink was amazing and I was also very much in a happy place when I left. Great service and great kind hearted associates here!!!”
“Wow. I went in for a meal replacement. The Hispanic manager told me unfortunately no one wrote my name down. I was about to leave and she said she would give me the combo for next time please say the name and save my receipt. She had no reason to believe me.. yet she did. My order was impeccable. So neat, nicely presented. Thanks to this lady and the other Hispanic lady, I'm willing to come back to this location. Muchas gracias a las managers que me dieron mi orden!”
“The app is trash. I paid for the tacos lover promo where they give you a taco everyday. I was no where near Garden Grove when I placed my order but it selected that location. When I went to cancel it, it said I had already redeemed it, instead of giving giving me the credit/reward back.The employee, Eduardo, helped me out and honored my order here at this location.Customer service was 10/10 for me.”
“Spacious family-owned Vietnamese seafood restaurant specializing in crab and other shellfish. There is a large outdoor patio and a large indoor dining area, as well as a bar with draft beer. Catering options are available.The food is delicious and comes out fast. The menu features a wide variety of Vietnamese classics. We tried a variety of seafoods and enjoyed every dish, especially the grilled squid and the fried rice.”
“My husband and I stumbled upon Cajun Islands last Saturday, and it was an absolute delight. Tucked away from the bustling crowds, this hidden gem served up some of the best crawfish we've ever tasted. Our server, Karmen, made our experience truly memorable with her attentive service and warm hospitality. Despite the restaurant not being too busy, Karmen and the boy helping her make sure that we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our meal.What truly impressed us was the genuine kindness and generosity displayed by the staff. Despite our initial oversight in not having enough cash for a tip, Karmen graciously allowed us to linger, refilling our waters and making us feel right at home in the neighborhood. Moreover, the boy helping her went the extra mile by offering to change the TV channel to accommodate my husband's preference for the baseball game.As newcomers to the area, this level of hospitality meant the world to us. Even though Karmen didn't receive a tip initially, her professionalism and warmth never wavered. In fact, her genuine care left such a positive impression that my husband made a special trip back to the ATM just to ensure she received the appreciation she deserved.In summary, Cajun Islands is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where delicious food meets exceptional service and genuine kindness. We'll definitely be returning soon to enjoy more of their Cajun food . Thank you Cajun islands!”
“We at on the other side and not the buffet style side. I'm only back in California for a couple days and wanted hot pot so I went to this place. Delicious as always! When I lived here I always loved it. BUT do not buy the sugarcane here it taste weird other than that food is delicious and restaurant is very spacious.”
Cheap Eats
“Outstanding impression of how clean this place is for a taco stand. We were looking for food in the area and saw how close this taco stand was (in Westminister!) And new. Also such a benefit in that there is parking!! But no seating, and so popular. The grill is clean and the service is friendly. They refreshed the meats and toppings frequently, everything was freshly cooked despite being like 9ish? And the service was nice/welcoming despite not being Spanish speaking and generous with toppings. They take zelle/cash. The grill was so clean and the pastor you could tell was fresh. The food looks great.. We shared nachos. Another benefit to this stand is that they have an abundance of toppings and their red sauce salsa is super spicy. Everything tasted fresh and didn't make you feel greased/heavy. Nachos were a generous portion for only $10 with meat!! And another 2 with extra meat. The nacho cheese is your basics and plenty of toppings available, especially their grilled onion and jalapeño is spicy! (But no pickled jalapeño like American style lol). The reason I didn't do five stars, is because oddly enough I found the meat to lack flavor. It looked and felt amazing (not that fatty), but I think it was missing something in the marinade or some sort of seasoning/spices. Definitely needs a lot of lime to "awaken" the flavor. I'll probably go again to try the tacos. I suspect their tacos are where its at because of how nice quality and fresh everything is.”
“For my father's birthday, a family friend gifted us a fruit tart cake from this bakery. First, the fruit was extremely fresh. The initial bite and crunch (from the tart) was absolutely delicious. Almost a blend between a cake, fruit tart and a flaky croissant. This was a pleasant surprise and possibly, my favorite type of cake. My father loved his cake!”
“Great and friendly place with great tasting pastries n iced coffee! Everyone should stop by and try it, if not for the pastries then go for a cup of iced milk coffe “cafe sua da” enjoy!!!”
“I am only sad that I didn't take a photo of my food before devouring. I got tacos de papa last night and they were bomb!! Soo good. I wish it would've came with more. My plate 3 tacos and all yummy toppings and the green salsa was my favorite! Tacos were perfectly crispy and stuffed with great flavor. It was pretty cool that I was able to pick up from a locker and unlock it with my phone. Will Try anaheim location before heading into disney today.”
“Rarely do I leave reviews but this place is worthy of an instant 5 star feedback! Staff super friendly and doing things all the right ways! Will 100 percent be coming back whenever I'm on this side of town to visit Junior and Nancy!”
“I stumbled upon this shop randomly on the way to the park. They were having a promo- buy 2 drinks get 1 freshly tea free! I ordered the milk tea, lychee tea, and mango smoothie. All drinks were good! I would definitely return.”
“Best pork egg rolls around; they are crispy, crunchy and filled up. My family and I always order the pork egg rolls here to bring to parties and events.Hands down the most asked about egg rolls at any event we show up to even when someone else brings egg rolls from another place too.You can call or order online ahead of time and let them know what time you will be picking them up so that they are freshly made by the time it is picked up.Parking: Very packed during the day, spaces are a little tight.”
“Was craving this dish as it was a childhood favorite of mine. Found this hole in the wall place and decided to give it a try. It was very quiet when we first came as there was no one else inside. They took our orders pretty quickly and served us right away. We got their special banh cuon with the shrimp tempura. The banh cuon's filling was delicious and the shrimp tempura was crunchy and warm. I definitely satisfied my craving and I would get it again anytime.”
“For a healthy alternative, this is my go-to for teriyaki bowl/plate. Portion is more than enough and feels full throughout a work day. Korean own but they really friendly and nice. I usually get it to-go, but here is just your typically quick bite. Simple chairs and table. Would totally recommend this place to everyone for a mom and pop restaurant.”
“Vegetarians and vegans rejoice. This place has so many veggie options. I had the V2 Motto Special and my partner had the V4 Miso Ramen. Both were delicious! I liked mine because of the creamy broth and high quality toppings and my partner liked his because of the smoky/spicy flavor of the broth. Everything was made to order. Nice clean environment and they clearly put a lot of care into the place. Really amazing service too, the lady serving us was hilarious and so sweet! The condiments available were perfect. We will definitely be back to try the other 3 veggie ramen options. Zero complaints! So good! Thank you!”
“Good food and great service. It's a no frills place but nicely renovated. I came back for their all you can eat hot pot (lau) $15.99. Fresh veggies. Flavorful broth. We couldn't finish it all. The crispy paper thing was good plain or we would dunk it into the soup. One soup broth was spicy while the other was lighter and sweeter. Good portions. The prices here are still pretty good as compared to other vegan places. The bathroom could use an upgrade but it wasn't deplorable. Would return.”
“Sandwiches are very good but pricey for a sandwich. I know everything is going up in price but if they dropped prices by a few bucks a sandwich, we'd definitely consider this place more often. Still, solid sandwiches and we'll be back again soon.”
“The food is always good when I, my brother and best friend always eat here. The staff are friendly, kind and every time we visit the restaurant we always notice the staff do their best to make sure you are taken care of when they are busy but still do their best. The owner when he is not busy working in the kitchen or in the back he does come out to the front to check things out he will stop by and say hello to people he knows like us and yes he will say hello to someone that says hello. His brother is a chef and a few family members work there too. Everyone are very nice and I am sorry if you don't think so but it's the truth. I have mentioned Goldenwest Diner to friends and yes they have visited and do come back. ?Vegetarian options: Just ask your server plus if I remember correctly there are options in the menu.Dietary restrictions: If there is anything you are allergic to or you don't like PLEASE let your server know and they will do their best to help to make sure it is not in your food unless it is already prepared that way. Then just be nice and ask if you could ask a manager or the owner if he is there to maybe help.Parking: Please make sure you park on the restaurant side not the Motel 6 sideKid-friendliness: Yes kids can eat here and the staff are niceWheelchair accessibility: There is ADA parking and you can your wheelchair to go inside and they will make sure that there's a table for you to use ?”
“Yummy food! The rice is perfect. I usually get grilled pork (not the pork chop) and shredded pork or a fried egg. The service is quick and the owner is very friendly. There are several TV's and music for entertainment. The bathroom is clean.”
“Food is very good here, the service is excellent, and the price is very affordable while other restaurants increased the prices a lot. I always enjoy food here whenever I come to Orange County.”
“Fast service, has the dim sum staples, and has very nice ladies that work there. HOUSE SATE IS FIRE!!! For the price, the quality of dim sum is pretty good - it doesn't get any cheaper than this around the city. Got my fave, bot chien, and it was good on its own, but after reading some of these reviews, looks like I have to go back and get it fried with eggs. Shumai is good, har gow is delicious. Also got the last portion of the fried shrimp balls around 1pm, so I'm assuming those are popular as well. The only thing I don't like about this place is their location and the amount of space in the store. My S.O. and I wanted to sit in, but it was already filled since there were only like 4 tables inside. Parking lot is a literal mission to find parking AND get to your destination safely, lmao. Other than that, if you have a craving for dim sum and don't want to spend more than you have to, this place is worth a shot.”

Hot Pot City
“Hot Pot City is our go to place when we want hot pot but don't want to wait in a long line. It really is an underrated place for hot pot! There's 3 different broths to choose from: regular, spicy, and Thai, and we usually get a split pot of Thai and spicy for an additional price. They also have a grill surrounding the pot, so the pot is slightly small. There is a fridge in the back to get all your items: vegetables, meat, seafood, sides, butter, noodles, and sauces. There's also rice in the back that you can get yourselves. I really love the ribeye here. I feel like the plates are tiny, but the marination is delish! We also always get the salmon, fish balls, and vegetables. The restaurant isn't the cleanest, especially because there's the grill there. I definitely feel a bit dirty after leaving. Just think kbbq vibes lol. The prices were raised a LOT for the small plates, but still overall decent and I will definitely keep coming back!”

Kao Binh
“Cute place in the garden grove Asian mall food court. Food is cooked fresh and portions are big. We ordered the lemongrass beef dish and the pho dish. Both came out piping hot and we could tell it was freshly made (i mean not the pho but you get it). The lemongrass beef was a little on the dry side but the flavors were great and very authentic. I'd be back if I had the time and the food court isn't too insane. I prefer this place over the counter ready food any day.”
“This is the restaurant to go to if you want authentic Vietnamese food. We ordered a medium baked catfish that came with an assortment of veggies, vermicelli noodles, and rice paper so we could make our own rolls. The skin of the fish was extra crispy while the flesh was juicy. It was absolutely delicious! They had a variety of dipping sauces. I loved the tamarind sauce. We also ordered the Cuon Ca Be Xanh, which is pork belly and shrimp wrapped in a green leaf veggie, kinda like a green leaf lettuce. It was soooooo yummy!The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. There was classical jazz playing in the background, which created a romantic ambiance. Nice place for a date when you want Vietnamese food! Our server was pleasant and took good care of us. I highly recommend this restaurant!”
“I've come here to eat several times and have never been disappointed. Grilled chicken feet with satay is very delicious and delicious. The hot pots cannot be criticized, especially the silkworm fish hotpot and goby fish hotpot with giang leaves. If you have the chance, everyone should come and try the food here. Note that the weekend of Friday and Saturday is quite crowded, so if you want to go, you can go on a weekday or Sunday so you can enjoy better with family, relatives, or friends.”
“great place with great food and service. not too busy.everybody there is attentive and polite. the food is great and there are so many options. service is quick and grill changes are frequent.our server ethan was great. friendly, fast service and just made the experience more pleasant.not too pricey, good vibes, just fun. would recommend”

Cafe Sky
“We had coffee here the other morning. Cafe Sky is a good fairly new place with good coffee and pastries in Little Saigon shopping center. Nice staff and people working here. Might be my go to spot from now on.”

Grand Garden
“Overall this is a nice place for a big gathering. The group I visited with had about 60 people with a 6 course plate at around $500 per table. The decoration was nice, but the food could use more seasoning.”

Jumpin' Crab
“Jumping’ crab ? is a great crab and lobster restaurant. I really fell in love with it. The people are so sweet, the food ? is tasty, and the lobster and king crab are the largest you may find in California. It’s perfect for small as well as large groups. Ricky and Ann can give you delicious suggestions”

Maru Sushi
“This is a wonderful place to come and eat. Everything tasted fresh and was ready quickly. If I had to complain about anything, it was with the amount of rice with my Tamago, shrimp, and tuna pieces. It just didn't hold up very well. Other than that, everything was wonderful!”
“The food was really delicious. My husband and I were both satisfied with the service. We got to spend some quality time with together. Live music makes the atmosphere more enjoyable.”
“Great place for Hue food. Easy to eat and lots of options. There is usually wait time during lunch. Lots of vegetarian options. Staff are friendly, but vegetarian food usually takes long to come. Plenty of parking as the restaurant is in a mall.Vegetarian options: There is a whole section that is vegetarian - about 15 dishes.”
“The eggs here are good. It's a little less than $2 each egg. The man working spoke mostly Vietnamese, there will be a language barrier for those who don't speak Vietnamese. My only qualm with the place is they don't let you pick which eggs you want. I personally like picking them myself. The eggs were good but a little too mature as there were tiny bones...you could eat it but i prefer not having that texture. But just ask for small ones and they'll be good!”

El Chamango
“Locally women owned shop with special food. The street like snacks are so delicious and crafted nicely. Great value to get the banana split and mocha with a friend. Loved how it is simple yet brings awesome memories.”
“Bleu is good for small group gathering for lunch or dinner. The food is casual and good overall. We go there when we have birthday celebration with a group of friends. The room is large .”

Yummy Bakery
“The staff were super nice and friendly to compare to other yummy Bao , they sell mostly convenient on-the-go & finger food like other Yummy bakery but this place look more clean , there's no tables for you to dine-in, mostly for takeouts. Oh, they have a drive through I like that . Other places the line always long on the weekends. I like this place better.”
“Ordered carry out roasted duck and soy sauce chicken. Pretty solid duck. The chicken was a little dry and I prefer the skin to have a little more soy sauce flavor.-cash only”
“I love writing stellar reviews and advocating for mom and pop shops because I want the business to stick around. This place is fantastic, and it's the only one I know that sells the chicken cha I'm posting. It's such a treat but it's $19/lb...but we'll worth it. You can get the half chicken but we opted for the whole chicken for $117. This is a dish that I'm surprised isn't more popular - prob cause it's a specialty item that's harder to make. The cha here is a bit pricier - other places have the banana leaf wrapped cha for $7 but here, it's $10. But keep in mind you're paying for quality, not quantity. It drives me crazy cause my family's very particular about the food they consume, but when they give any place or dish their stamp of approval, it's a for sure solid bet. (: hope that's worth something. I think this place is well worth it and great if you're okay with splurging a bit more. As the other review posted, bashing a place merely cause it's outside of your price point isn't fair. I will admit I didn't try their banh chung but the $27-34 is pretty typical nowadays due to inflation...unfortunately. Let's try to be understanding and empathetic during these rough times for small businesses. Last mention: I believe this place is cash only.”
“I came here for my birthday and experienced the best time here with my family! I love the variety of seafood, meats and greens that were offered. The snails, short ribs and clams were my faves as well as the sugar cane juice! I definitely recommend this authentic vietnamese buffet to anyone! Very good value ????Parking: Plenty of parking in the plaza!”
“Amazing experience we hosted our daughters 15 in this venue the whole place was amazing the owner was phenomenal to work with. This is an amazing venue with everything you need for an unforgettable experience. We have amazing memories here and the customer service was outstanding! Definitely highly recommend this place for all your events, such a spacious and well updated place I was able to bring other vendors for Photo Booth and everything fit just right! RECOMMENDED 100%”

Hảo Vị BBQ
“I just bought some roast pork and roasted duck at this Hao Vi place yesterday 2/24/2024. Their food were very good as they advertised. The service was very nice and pleasant. Severs and cashier are very friendly and courteous. Definitely I will come back anytime when I am going to O.C.”
“We love the Kickin style sauce so much .. the crawfish is fresh even frozen. Big and juicy. The store at McFadden - Magnolia even has special promotion / happy hours with discount for crawfish/ shrimp / mussels etc..our kids love to it here when they get back from school. They could eat every days ?”
“The food at the restaurant is quite diverse, with many types of seafood, fried, and steamed, quite diverse and rich. People can order or pick up their own food when the ladies push the food cart, just like a buffet. The restaurant is very spacious, the staff is enthusiastic.”
“First time at Malta. It was clean. There was only one other table occupied. My husband ordered agua chiles, and I ordered the tacos with empanadas (2 gobernador, 2 marlin, and 2 shrimp empanadas). My husband loved his plate. My tacos were big. I only ended up eating one marlin taco, an empanada, and the salad. The sauce that came with my plate was delicious. I have leftovers for tomorrow. The server was sweet, not pushy, but did check on us. By the time we left, 3 hours later, the restaurant was full with a wait. Highly recommended.”
“I had very low expectations coming into a mall for lunch, but had things to do and was stuck waiting here at lunch time so figured I'd try it. Tucked way in the back of the half vacant food court is an amazing little taco place. I expected mall tacos and I got food truck tacos with surprising flavor, no wonder they have survived the pandemic in this mostly desolate mall. Half the stores seem gone and yet the food court still has 8 options alive but who knows for how much longer. I will say anytime I find myself near here when I'm hungry I will definitely come back. The pastor crispy taco was amazing and the simple cheese enchilada I figured would be your normal cheap enchilada fare but the flavors were amazing. Even the rice and beans were better they must be using the good lard here! Step aside Wahoos this is my new favorite enchilada fast food place.”

Lien Hoa BBQ
“This is the go to place for my parents. They like to the Roast duck, roast pork, and BBQ pork here because of the flavor...so anytime I'm in the area, I buy these goodies back for them.”

Pizza Place
“I love the pizza here. It's such a shame that the mall itself is killing their business. I met the owner last time I got pizza there and he was so nice. He even threw in a free breadstick for my 3 year old brother. This has been one of my favorite pizza spots since I was a little kid and I hope that they don't go anywhere any time soon.”
“Went here with my boyfriends parents because they were craving Bo 7 Mon! Three of us opted for the Medium Ca Nuong instead so I don't have much to say about the beef course. It was more than enough food for the three of us, but the veggies given to us could've been better. The fish was hot and meaty with a crispy skin. They provided everything we needed to make the wraps!”
“Cash only.An ethnic Vietnamese drinks restaurant. Mango Snail salad, Scallops coated with Onion Fat, Stir-fried Snails with Coconut are good and taste better witty a cold beer.”
“It was a very great experience. The lady that was the hostess there. She was so sweet we got to try the oxtail rice, garlic, noodles, cheese, corn, crab legs and garlic noodles, seafood bowl, oyster shots, bake fry quail, Cajun duck, and amazing strawberry, lemonade, Mojito. I will be back I apologize about the seafood bowl picture because it has Cajun duck on it that’s not it????”
“I have a thing for buffets and all you can eat joints. This is one of the better Chinese buffet in the Inland Empire because of the quantity of foods offered not quality of foods. This would be a good place to bring the family or a group of people. There's lots of variety even though the hot foods may be cold or under seasoned. Some of the seafood is questionable as it smells and tastes very fishy. Be careful eating the fruit as they might be rotting and moldy. Price for Lunch is $18.99/person. Price for Dinner is $31.99/person.”

“I think the fact that there was no wait contributes to the food and experience.Would I wait more than 30 minutes or longer? NoFood was tasty. Turnip cake was different. It was more of a custard texture than firm. Shumai and har gow were standard.”
“First time at Malta. It was clean. There was only one other table occupied. My husband ordered agua chiles, and I ordered the tacos with empanadas (2 gobernador, 2 marlin, and 2 shrimp empanadas). My husband loved his plate. My tacos were big. I only ended up eating one marlin taco, an empanada, and the salad. The sauce that came with my plate was delicious. I have leftovers for tomorrow. The server was sweet, not pushy, but did check on us. By the time we left, 3 hours later, the restaurant was full with a wait. Highly recommended.”
“I love that the menu has several healthier choices such as egg whites, fruit bowl (with lots of fruits, not just melon! But blackberries, strawberries, kiwi!), and the fresh strawberry jam is amazing. Pancakes are amazing, I won't eat pancakes unless I'm at Pam's. Great food, fast friendly service. My favorite breakfast ”
“This food is INCREDIBLE! The truck came to our apartment and I wasn't expecting too much, but this food blew us away!! I've already emailed the complex to ask them back! Thanks to the team!”
“Ordered an affogato and brown sugar milk tea. If I ever need a strong caffeinated drink again, I’m definitely buying the affogato. Wonderful drink/dessert for caffeine addicts haha.Overall experience was great. Lovely atmosphere and plenty of room to sit and chat with friends.Small note: Pretty sure the cashier guy is new since he cancelled my option to tip and didn’t say anything to me until I ordered (just stared at me), but the drinks he made were superb. And only thing I would recommend for the shop is if they showed a bigger menu on the wall or a TV, not just on the counter.”

“I live in las vegas. Phoholic is my favorite pho restaurant anywhere outside of Vietnam ??. Everything is fresh , broth is full of flavor. Sometimes when you come early they have "thit obama" . It's like a minced filet mignon "secret menu" sooo good, melts in your mouth.”
“This place PILES it on. When you see those videos of places packing the food into the container and hate that they are never around where you live, this place is the answer for that. The quality is good. The portions are insane. I get a 3 item for less than $16 and I get a few meals out of it. Definitely worth trying”
“Really good Bun Bo Hue! Came for lunch on Saturday and it was very busy. Didn't wait long for a table, but would imagine at least 10m wait during peak hours.Service was great and food came out very quickly!The coconut drink was also really good. Will def be coming back!”
“Our favorite drink here is the 'House of Kards'. It's the best Viet Coffee we've ever had. The balance of Coffee/Sweet & Cream is just perfect! When you find a favorite Coffee like this, you tend to go a lot and get the same drink, and because of that we noticed the consistancy of the drink making. We are never let down and always get the same taste every time. It's truly outstanding.There are some great people who work there too, which my Wife and I are always happy to go and see. It really makes the whole experience great, and we always look forward to going. Shout out to Orion, Maite and Chris <3The decor is cool, and there's always good music playing. You can purchase the drinks at a Kiosk or at a checkout. The menu is full and with very inventive and funny names like the "Dew Barrymore" Ha! They are also customisable and the staff are always more than happy to give you a taster of the drinks you might want to try.Parking is great and they open late too!!Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and funWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“A nice place to come get strong, aromatic Vietnamese coffee. The place is fancy and well decorated. Staff are friendly and tables are clean and inviting. I love their classic Vietnamese Coffee. It is strong so be sure to let the ice melt a little so it's not too strong or bitter. I will definitely come back here to get some more coffee drinks. The plaza has adequate parking and not too crowded.”
“Everything was freshly made, and delicious. Woke up craving Vietnamese (pho ga) chicken noodle soup this morning. Found this place on Magnolia in Little Saigon that serves it up right.The Chinese donuts are freshly fried and taste great with the broth and coffee.????”
“This is the best place to try Vietnamese-style coffee. I like the cream and taro on top and the rich taste of the coffee. The atmosphere is also nice and it is worth the price for this.”
“It’s Halal restaurant. Food is fresh. We had Kabsa and Grill mixed. They service big portions. One plate can feed two people.Service is perfect. They are very generous and welcoming.Price is very appropriate.The only thing which I didn’t like most is the strong test and smell of lamb ground and kabab needs more tenderiser and spices.Give it a try!”
“Service was fantastic, ordered a XL pizza which was huuuge, 32 slices. When I saw it I was worried it might be doughy in the center. Pizza was crisp and delicious. Would recommend”
“My favorite place to get egg coffee outside of saigon or hanoi! Better than even some places in vietnam actually. The owner is super duper sweet and helpful. Every drink we have ever gotten here was excellent.The place is in the middle of kind of a drab shopping mall. So its hard to imagine such a gem can be found here. But give it a try. So so good.”
“The foods size are huge and taste is not bad, but can be better. Staffs are friendly and provided Wifi password. The place looks tired and needs improvement, but clean. Overall, i will come back and thank you.”
“When I first tried a bahn mi sandwich, I was 15 years old, I was not in love until I had a @carrotanddaikon crispy pork belly bahn mi, then I was hooked and addictively in love!!! I got my parents and sister seriously hooked and this addiction is really affordable, with tax it's a little over $8! Lots of places I know charge double and it's nuts! The bread is always crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. The combination of regular and spicy mayo hits the spot with a very generous layer pretty thick slices of crispy skinned pork belly, then the pile of pickled carrots and daikon, cucumbers, jalapeño slices and cilantro. All of that for around $8 and for me, it's too large that I share it with my mom or kids. There are over 20 different types of Bahn Mi sandwiches to pick from but the crispy pork belly is my FAVORITE! This spot also has great drinks such as the watermelon juice and if you feel you need caffeine, this spot also serves @whipdessertcafe coffee drinks. I enjoyed the Ube and Egg Cream Topped Latte! The best part now, this spot makes it so easy to order now either online or via their app! Just keep in mind, this is like a quick pick up spot and not really a chill spot.”
“BANH TET REVIEW--wow, their banh tet ($36) is nothing like I've ever seen before. It's packed with meat, both lean and fatty. The sweet rice is soft with just the perfect amount of green bean. Unlike other places that are packed with green bean and just 1 strip of meat with hard rice. Bought 1 yesterday and already almost finished it all by myself! Also tried their Cha Chien (fried pork loaf $9) and Dua mon (dried radish pickles). It was the perfect pairing since it gives the dish a crunchy texture. Will definitely be coming back to get more”
“Love the atmosphere here. The waiters are very efficient and good at customer service. We really enjoy the bánh đa as the broth is very fresh. The miến trộn khô has just enough sauce to make the food delicious and not overly salty. Overall, we’re really satisfied with the food and drinks. We’ll definitely come back!”
“It's a truly "blink and you might miss it" building in Westminster which my Wife & I had seen on numerous occasions, yet this was the time we didn't drive past and decided to see what the menu had to offer. Working in an Italian restaurant myself naturally heightened my curiosity about the lil' establishment as I ordered the Spicy Chilli Garlic Pappardelle with mini wontons in it. My only knock on it would've been the cold pieces of garlic in it which clashed with what otherwise was an ample-sized serving for $10.99 and my Wife got the Spaghetti & Meatballs dinner which she said had a truly good sauce slathered on it that she'd eat by itself. The meatball was average by her standards and we're both "Foodies" who have experienced Italian food in Rome, so our standards are elevated to a degree. We coupled our meals with the garlic toast which was soft and flavourful and some drinks. The woman at the register was very vibrant in her spirit and we are certainly looking forward to another visit soon to check out the other menu options which were sold out when we arrived around closing time.”
“Phenomenal food and service.I've had just about every dish on the menu, and have not been disappointed yet.Being a smaller restaurant, the care from the staff is shown. They are quick to get the food out to you, and that doesn't mean it will be found lacking.The staff are always super friendly and responsive.I can always wholeheartedly recommend this place, since it nevers fails.Always excited to come again and have good times.”
