“Amazing food and service. Love this place. ❤“

“Good food. Great service. Very understanding and accommodating staff.“

“The outside fire pit adds to a beautiful, cool summer night. The service is quick and the servers are attentive. Have to give a special shout out to the waiter, Jacob who not only came by frequently but informed us of some extra deals they had going on, and even let us know of this special offer for their monthly beer club without being too pushy. Definitely, coming back. Not only for the ambiance and the fact that I can bring my corgi, but because Jacob was so cool.“

“Very good service and the food was delicious“

“I’ve only gotten the stock burger which is very good. Hoping perhaps one day I’ll be hungry enough for the max rib“

“Located in a vibrant neighborhood, Oyster Dive Bar offers a delightful dining experience with a unique twist on seafood classics. The crispy Cajun fries with cheese are a standout appetizer, perfectly seasoned and crunchy, making them an irresistible starter. The lobster pasta features fresh lobster, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, ideal for both casual outings and intimate dinners. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. However, it's worth noting that the restroom could use more attention; cleanliness was a bit lacking during my visit. Despite this minor drawback, the delicious food and pleasant surroundings make Oyster Dive Bar a recommended choice for seafood enthusiasts looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a relaxed setting. Overall, Oyster Dive Bar earns four stars for its tasty dishes, friendly service, and comfortable ambiance. With a few improvements in cleanliness, it could easily become a five-star dining destination.“

“I had the chicken pho with beef broth. The soup itself had good flavor, but the chicken was very tough—it had been cut with the grain instead of against it. It was so difficult to chew that I only managed to eat about 20% of it. Isn't slicing against the grain basic cooking technique for chicken?

However it was good we found a late night option. It was packed when we went there around 9:30p!“

“Very kind and friendly staff! Everything was freshly made to order, juicy, and very flavorful. This was also very affordable. The scallion oil noodles, and beef/cilantro dumplings were our standouts but we loves everything we ordered.

We would love to revisit someday when we travel back to this area!“

“The bolo bao ice cream sandwich was the bomb! I had it with ube ice cream. The garlic fries - lots of fresh garlic with a side of bomb lemon aoili and house sauce! The best! Passionfruit green tea was perfect for the hot weather! So cute inside too! It's a smaller space and a one man show. Everything is made fresh so please be patient - it's worth the wait! Great service! It's a hidden gem to the right of BofA in the plaza. — at CrispyandFluffed.“

“Best Taiwanese food you have ever eaten! So far, everything is delicious 🤤. I ordered their fried pork chop, and it's so juicy. I enjoy their mustard greens but they are good with pork belly rice. The rice was delicious because the fatty and lean meat was evenly portioned in every bite. I ordered the pork intestine with oyster vermicelli, but I prefer only the oyster because the intestines, to my preference, are a bit plain. The oysters are fresh, and it would be nice if the menu had fried oysters as appetizers 👍. The popcorn chicken wasn't my favorite because it had less basil and was sweet, which was different from the ones I had. But overall, it's good, and I will be coming back.“

“This place was located in a spacious plaza and easily accessible and easy to find. The inside was clean, design was nice and wasn't too busy at 2pm. We ordered tomato seafood pasta and mentaiko pasta, which I liked immensely. A little pricey, but also a bit higher end than your regular sit-down restaurant.“

“The Food Is Sooo Good..I like the Rio Double Cheese Burger, The Stewart Fries, the wings, the Chili Cheese Fries, you just can't lose with this place & they're nice people & good with suggestions...So Bomb🔥 everything made Fresh“

“very good comfort food that you can really dig into<3“

“Visited this restaurant with my boyfriend while we were visiting and was really impressed with our overall experience! Bianca did a great job as our server! She was professional and able to answer our questions about the menu. The atmosphere was really cool and I am excited to come back the next time we’re in town!“

“Chicken and beef pies I have loved most of my life. Still great !!!!!“

“If you’re looking for a cozy and relaxing spot, I highly recommend **Hide Out by Tea Lane**. It's a wonderful place to unwind with a great selection of teas and a serene atmosphere. Perfect for some quiet time or catching up with friends!“

“The food and atmosphere here are A+++. Everything our table ordered was incredible. The cafe de olla was perfect, not too sweet and right temperature. They have vegetarian options, including quesadillas de huitlacoche! They also have really great agua fresca options, including mango with chia and mango chile limón. You have to try to the queso fresco too with their house salsa. I was cheering with every bite. Can't wait to come back.“

“Hanshin Pocha opening in Rowland means I no longer have to drive all the way to K-Town when I’m craving Korean bar food. I’ve been to the original location many times, so I’m really glad they expanded.

For me, the must-orders are the spicy squid and the cheese hot plates. The rice was fun to mix and tasted decent, nothing mind-blowing but still satisfying.

The fried chicken was just okay — a little on the dry side IMO— but still makes for a solid bite, especially when you’re drinking. I also really appreciate that their beer mugs come pre-chilled. It's the little things.

Overall, a fun and casual late-night spot that brings the K-Town vibe to the SGV. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!“

“Excellent food prepared fresh. Great service. Indoor and outdoor eating. Great 👍🏻✌🏼😉“

“Everything was delicious. From the first coffee that came out to the last bite, my little one kept asking for more chicken, so flavorful.
You have to try their tamales, the masa has great taste and the texture is perfect. Their pupusas were perfect ratio of masa to filling and were not greasy at all. We also tried their gallina guisada with rice and salad, perfect! This is not a regular menu dish, but try anything guisado, and I’m sure it’ll be great also.
I enjoyed the service and atmosphere also.
I don’t write many reviews, but I had to for El Sabor de El Salvador because I definitely recommend.“

“Family and I have been coming here for ages. Yeah some things are pricy, but most have decent portions. Food a little bit on the greasy side though. I like their braised tofu most. Their porridge is good with big chunks of yam! Parking can be a bit difficult to find at times.“

“First timers here at Lazy Dog. I was thinking this would be a hot dog place but it isn’t lol, they gave us some garlic chips for it being our first time I thought that was really nice of them. I ordered Kung Pao Shrimp, it was really good but a bit TOO salty for my liking. I also got a beer they ID you so bring you’re ID.“

“Good soup and side dishes. Large servings and servers are very nice😁“

“he'll mf yea this place is amazing. best tasting chicken sandwiches! real spice if u can handle the heat“

“Truly authentic Korean restaurant. Very few left around southern California. The soy sauce blu crab is must try, so fresh and so tasty. Their fish egg soup is excellent also. The Wang Galbi jjim is excellent choice also. Truly the hole in a wall Korean family restaurant.“

“Always a good laugh or two provided by Brad. Beers are cold, tunes are what you put on, fries are always on point; crispy without being over fried, served hot! Pool, darts, and lotsa TVs. Only thing missing is a new and current 2024 Golden Tee Golf ???“
