“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!”
“As a Korean, I would give it a 3.5-4 stars for flavor. The vibe is great for a friend’s gathering. It is pretty loud like a pub. The service was great. They check up every 10 minutes. Very friendly. They give you free soda if you write reviews too.”
“My wife and I are big fans of Thai cuisine, and last night we decided to try Signature Thai Bistro. We were intrigued because it occupies the same space as Supatra's, a spot we used to frequent years ago before the change in ownership. We called ahead to make a reservation and were seated promptly within a minute of our arrival. My wife follows a gluten-free vegan diet, and Thai food has always been a reliable choice for her. She called in advance to ensure options were available, and the staff was accommodating. Our server, Paul, was outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure the kitchen was informed about my wife's dietary needs, making the experience seamless and stress-free. Here's what we ordered: Tom Kha Soup: Excellent, bursting with rich and vibrant flavors. Summer Rolls: My wife loved them--fresh and perfectly prepared. Mango Mood drink: Another hit, beautifully balanced and refreshing. Wine: A familiar choice for my wife that paired well with the meal. String Beans and Eggplant: Very delicious, with bold and flavorful seasoning. Crying Tiger: Unfortunately, this dish didn't meet my expectations and is one we wouldn't recommend. Overall, the food was excellent, aside from the Crying Tiger, and the service was exceptional. Special thanks to Paul for his attentiveness and genuine kindness. We highly recommend Signature Thai Bistro for its delicious offerings and top-notch service.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“As one of the 1.5 billion people in the world who can't eat pork, the world of real ramen has been closed to me. This paitan ramen had perfect noodles and a rich chicken broth. They have the choice between traditional pork slices or slices of the most tender chicken breast. You place orders on a ticket so each person orders exactly as they want. I recommend the spicy chicken paitan.”
“Tampopo is our family's favorite sushi restaurant for nearly 20 years. Dine-in and take-out, the service and quality of food is consistent.
Rolls, sashimi, bento combos- Tampopo is a gem! We are heading there right now to pick up our order. And we know exactly what we are getting and know we will be greeted with a warm and friendly welcome.
We love this place.”

“We had a group of 24 people, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Luis was excellent—he went above and beyond to accommodate us on very short notice, which is no small task for a group our size. He arranged a private room for us, making the gathering feel both comfortable and well-organized.
What really stood out was how quickly everything came together. The food arrived impressively fast, and the service never missed a beat despite the large party. Luis and the team made sure everyone was taken care of, and the whole experience felt smooth and effortless.
Highly recommend for large groups or special gatherings—great service, great coordination, and a very enjoyable experience overall.”
“My daughter was looking for somewhere new for us to eat lunch...she came across this little gem. Tacos San Pedro seems to be a family run little Mexican take out/eat in eatery. Nothing fancy but, the food is amazing!!! The street tacos were outstanding, the chile rellno was very good as well. The problem is trying to figure out what to eat!!! Clean, friendly atmosphere, very helpful when ordering. Very busy place, lets you know how good it is This will be one for our favorite list.”

“I had the privilege of ordering the three item combo at this establishment. The food was so phenomenal plus I ordered an additional item of potatoe and cauliflower. They provide a good amount of food to for a second serving. This is a must go place to order your next meal. I will be visiting this place soon.”

“Everything is good. Their sushi is superb and the hamachi kama is soooo delicious, we ordered another one because my brother in law Jim devoured it. He don’t really eat fish, but when he tasted the hamachi kama , he said it’s the best tasting grilled fish. We’re from Arizona, but my sister in law and her husband is just 5 miles away from this sushi restaurant. We’re the one who introduced this place to them . We will definitely come back again at this sushi place. Very friendly server even the owner is so cool. 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this restaurant.”
Outdoor Dining
“How can you not like in n out? It’s not flashy it’s definitely not fancy, but it’s predictable. A fast food burger that feels healthy and homemade. No microwaves involved! You can see them cooking. The whole process. I frequent this location not just because it’s close to my house but because I can depend on a great late night burger and fresh salty fries.”
“Came in to try the kimchi fried rice since the change in name and ownership. The food has all been improved and recipes tweaked a little bit. The new kimchi recipe is twice as good as before. The food came out fast and was absolutely delicious. All of the employees were nice and smiled when greeting us. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxing and bright atmosphere. I will definitely be back again.”
“Perfect spot for a girls’ hangout! The atmosphere was beautiful, clean, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were great too.
I ordered the Biscoff cake (10/10)—a must-try if you have a sweet tooth—and the Mango Mint Refresher without the mint (8/10), which was refreshing. Overall, a wonderful experience!”
“I absolutely love this restaurant! As a celiac I have very limited options on places that I can safely eat at and I feel extremely fortunate that this is one of them. The food is exceptional and being all gluten free I can enjoy a variety of amazing dishes here. The service is also wonderful with attentive waiters who are full of life. The atmosphere pulls all of what I previously stated together with live music and visually spectacular place to dine”
“Great place!! The food is amazing and is such a fun place to have a birthday dinner! I have been coming here for so long and it never disappoints. The service is amazing with the cooks giving a little show! The place is a bit small, but they make it work! I love the vibe inside and now how they seat outdoors since the place is so popular! 1000/10 recommend”
“This place is amazing. Wife said they have the best chili verde ever (trust me, she knows her chili verde), and I had the best cheese quesadilla ever. Cooked to perfection; not burnt or undercooked , just perfect. Chips are great, salsa is great, guacamole is the creamiest ever. They give you a lot of food and treat you like family. Will be back.”

“I enjoyed the chicken chow mein, delicious bbq ribs, rice ok, soup egg drop ok, vegetable egg roll wish I can have with pork or chicken, fried noodles delicious. I plan to go back again. The fried shrimp I couldn't eat, didn't look like shrimp, a pounded flat breaded version, the pork sweet and soùr were dry, very crunchy and over cooked. I didn't eat it either. I'd give Tans a 7/10. Joy 2/11/21”
“Fun place to go and listen to live music. They also have open mic night on Thursday nights.”
“I had the Pasta Pomodora and it was outstanding.!Their BBQ Chicken Pizza great as well as their Taste of Italy! We will be returning!”
“Employees were super helpful helping me place an order. This was my first time eating here and I wasn’t sure what to order. Went with the tacos, and that didn’t disappoint. Salsa trio was great too, both green salsas were really good, not too hot with lots of flavor. Service was super fast.”

“Yes!!!! So happy to have an amazing pho place across the street from me. They use grass fed beef and have high quality cuts like rib eye. Great broth too! Very flavorful, and they only use a little MSG in their broth. Also have gluten free rice paper rolled/fried egg rolls! I'll be back often :)”
“I didn't take any photos, because it was mostly just appetizers and drinks, but we had a wonderful evening here tonight. Sat in the bar and our food and drinks came out sooooo fast! But in a good way! Super efficient and everyone helps everyone. All of the wait staff was smiling and cheerful. It was so nice to witness. Lisa was our server, and she was super helpful with the menu items and our drink decisions! We will happily return.”
“Great little poke bowl place. I'd go pretty much anywhere to try a good bowl, and I'm glad this place is close at hand, because it's become my favorite.
The interior is small but clean. The portions are generous, they usually have a nice deal going on, and they don't hold back with the toppings. Toppings are always fresh, fish tastes great, spam musubi is big and yummy, and plenty of sauces.
There's a little cooler with canned and bottled drinks you can choose from (I usually grab the green or jasmine tea), as well as a miso soup + fountain beverage station.
Service is always friendly. I love stopping by here after work; and I always leave full and looking forward to the next time.”
“My first time in a Starbucks that is 100% takeout - thought this would be a little sterile , but the person behind the counter was super friendly. I’ve been to a lot of Starbucks locations over the years, but few have been this friendly, or let’s face it this clean.”

“The quantity/portions are reasonable and the ice cream is delicious. My go-to would be the oreo cookies and cream shake. It is possible to customize your shake, so knowing that they put about 5-6 scoops of ice cream into a large shake, you can ask for 4 of those scoops to be oreo cookies and cream and 2 of those scoops to be chocolate.”
“I was there for a sangeet.. food was excellent... out of all the places i have eaten at. Food here actually tastes better”

“The Bottom Line Up Front:
Siam Station is a relatively new restaurant in Yorba Linda that serves up delicious Thai street food. It's not flawless, but it is now on my go-to list.
The Food:
I ordered the Khao Soi while my wife got the Papaya Salad; we shared the E-San Sausage.
The Khao Soi is an egg noodle served in a creamy yellow curry broth with chicken, red onions, lime, and pickles. It's fast become my favorite Thai food and I often order it as a litmus test whenever I go to a restaurant that's new to me. Fortunately, Siam Station passed the test — the Khao Soi hit the spot! It was satisfying in every way with one exception: it came with literally just a pinch of red onions and pickles in a tiny sauce plate, basically treated like a light garnish. At other places, I normally get a small plate filled with these veggies.
I'm not a big fan of papaya, but the Papaya Salad was solid. Most importantly, my wife approved. And we both loved the E-San Sausage, which is fermented ground pork, rice, garlic, and spices. It was served with a generous portion of cabbage, peanuts, and a couple of slices of ginger.
The Service:
Our server wasn't too friendly but he was polite, knowledgeable, and most importantly efficient. Unfortunately, he was short handed and had just one busboy helping him serve the entire restaurant — which meant we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated even though there was a table open. It also meant that he didn't return too often after we got our meals and we had to flag him down to get help a few times. This is not a knock on our server. After all, it was busy for a Sunday evening. This is really a staffing issue; had management hired just one more server, the customer experience would have been perfect.
The Location:
It's a smallish medium-sized restaurant so expect a wait if you come during peak hours. It's clean with nice decor and a pleasant atmosphere.
The Parking Situation:
Apparently Siam Station has several locations, but this particular spot is in Downtown Yorba Linda in a shopping complex beside Club Pilates and Apola Greek Grill and across from the Regal movie theater. There's not a lot of street parking and sometimes the open parking lots get filled quickly, but use the nearby parking structure for free and convenient parking.
The Conclusion:
Siam Station is a welcomed addition to the revitalized Downtown Yorba Linda, infusing an authentic Asian touch with delicious food at manageable prices in this down economy. My true rating is 4.5 out of 5, but since I can't give half stars I'm happy to round up. It's not perfect, but we will be back to try more dishes!”
“För a short while in Johnny Cash atmosphere, with adult cowboy and adult cowgirl enjoying the western life style with out of this world delicious fresh dripping perfectly smoked was turned upside down to a Catholic nursery and still they kept their cool attended to every toddler request and didn't show panic not even when one pretended to be hurt. I believed they prayed that day. Thanks guys for your patience, integrity and out of this planet exquisite meal. 🤸💖🕊️”
“Edith was our server and she was excellent. She was professional, relatable, and kind. She was attentive to our needs even when we changed our minds. I had the Turkey Sliders and they were delicious! We would definitely go back to Polly’s because the food, pie, and service! Go to Polly’s and ask for Edith - you’ll see why we gave her and Polly’s 5 stars!”
“We love going here to hang out with friends and family and enjoy their delicious food and amazing drinks! Alex was out bartender and made me the just delicious margarita! Highly recommend!”

“I recently placed a pick-up order at the KFC in Yorba Linda, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The ordering process was seamless and efficient. When I arrived, my order was ready and waiting for me, perfectly hot and fresh. The staff was friendly and made sure everything was correct before I left. The food, as always, was delicious—crispy chicken, tasty sides, and that signature KFC flavor that never disappoints. I highly recommend this KFC location for anyone looking for a quick, convenient, and satisfying meal. Great job, KFC Yorba Linda!”
“Good solid thin crust pizza. This is my go to pizza restaurant when I have limited time...say during the work week for lunch...because you can create your own pizza from a good variety of toppings and they prepare and cook it FAST!! 1 whole pizza can be too much for one person at lunch so I will often split the pizza in half with a lunch buddy and we both get our own pizza made to our own taste. You have to try the blood orange juice they have instead of a soda...it is delicious!!”
“Running a 2 bowls for $25 deal with medium fountain drink, the nice young lady at the cashier was kind enough to help and explain the menu and promotions. I would dine here again. Great value of protien for the pricing.”
“I recently visited Yifang Bistro and overall had a good experience.
The food was enjoyable and clearly prepared with care. Flavors were solid across the dishes, and you can tell there’s attention to quality and presentation. Service was also friendly and attentive, which made the visit comfortable.
The only area that could use a bit of improvement is the ambience. It’s not bad by any means, but it could use a little more warmth or character to elevate the overall dining experience.
Dessert was the main letdown. The portion was quite small, and it looked a bit dry, which didn’t really match the quality of the rest of the meal. It felt like an afterthought compared to everything else.
Overall, it’s still a good spot with tasty food and nice service. With a slight upgrade to the ambience and a stronger dessert offering, this place could easily be a 5-star experience. I’d definitely come back.”
