The Vietnamese salad is very refreshing to eat. Making the noodles in a self-cooking style might be a bit strange, but there's no coriander. It tastes like garlic. Service is superb.”

“I had a craving for a Turkish-style breakfast and stumbled upon a charming place in Fountain Valley, CA, called Canan’s Kitchen & Bakery. The image you see captures Canan and her family, the proud owners of this small business. Intrigued, I delved into the reviews and was moved by how many patrons likened their experience to being in Turkey. The moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the thoughtful design of the place and the beautifully set tables. However, what truly stood out was Canan’s warm hospitality. Her customer service was exceptional—friendly, kind, and genuine. Every aspect of our experience was delightful; the tea and coffee were exquisite, and the bread, simply put, was delicious. It was an experience that left me feeling not just satisfied but also deeply appreciative of the care and dedication that Canan and her family put into their business. A little history of Turkish-style breakfast is renowned for its variety and deliciousness, rooted in centuries-old traditions. Featuring cheeses, olives, fresh bread, honey, and eggs, it offers a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The emphasis on communal dining and quality, locally sourced ingredients adds to its appeal, making it a cherished cultural experience.”

All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.”

The chickens were moist, juicy and very flavorful- but not too overwhelming! The lemon basil garlic had a little kick to it.. so my younger kids couldn't really eat it. For the sides we got the rice pilaf, hummus ( one of the best hummus) and steamed veggies ( which was cooked perfectly - not soggy and still had a nice crunch ) On top of it.. the meal came with pita bread and their yummy garlic sauce!”

However, there is a Mexican restaurant next door that offers takeout, or there will sometimes be a food truck that will pop by. My only minor gripe is that it is an Irish bar in name only. They have some Irish decor around the bar, but they don't have Guinness on tap, which is really a shame. It's a decent spot to watch a game, but they could use a few more TVs.”

Kin Izakaya 16185 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley Ramen • $

“An Evening at Kin Izakaya: Where Tradition Meets Ambiance In the culinary haven that our city embodies, Kin Izakaya emerges as a sanctuary of authentic Japanese flavors combined with the convivial spirit typical of Japan’s iconic gastropubs. It’s here that tradition and modernity collide to create not just a meal, but an experience worth savoring. The moment you step through the doors of Kin Izakaya, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s both lively and intimately comforting. The ambient lighting, coupled with rustic décor and understated oriental motifs, offers a welcoming reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The soft murmur of patrons engaged in animated conversation sets the backdrop for an authentic izakaya experience. Kin Izakaya’s menu is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese fare and innovative culinary creations. The tapas-style dishes, perfect for sharing, encourage a communal dining experience. From the delicate flavors of their sashimi to the robust, savory notes found in their yakitori selection, there’s a delightful complexity in each dish presented. The agedashi tofu, with its perfect crispy exterior giving way to silken tofu within, is a testament to the chef’s prowess in honoring traditional flavors while serving contemporary palates.”

Tsuruhashi 18798 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley Japanese • $$$

“Meat quality is so damn delicious! The Short rib and skirt steak were our faves, we also tried the A5 wagyu and it was melt in your mouth delicious as well. Don't skip on the cartilage and sausage, if you're looking for great pairings to go with your beer. The Yukhae (raw beef dish) was super delicious and I'm not a raw beef person in general. I would definitely order that again though. Get here early, about 15min before they open to avoid the lines. It's a small restaurant with mostly 4-tops , I saw maybe 1 table that could accommodate a party of 8-10 max, so if you have a larger party be prepared to sit separately. The service is great, they were on point with water refills and checking to see if we wanted to order any additional items. They have a weekday special for $67 where you can try 2 of our favorite meats + their miso chicken thigh, and the veggies it comes with are minimal (1pc pumpkin, couple pieces of bell pepper, and a slice of carrot). I heard their yookaejang (spicy beef and vegetable soup) was good but we didn't try it this time. Also, don't sleep on their black sesame and yuzu ice cream!”

Del Taco 17295 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley Fast Food • $

“Stopped here for lunch and was completely surprised by the guy at the counter. He was A1 in customer service, which is something non existent these days especially from a 19 yr old. I had to ask if he was a manager which he replied no. He was polite, super attentive always finding something to do, cleaning tables, picking up trays taking both counter and drive up orders, took time to ask customers if they needed anything. I'm in construction so I eat out n a daily basis and it has been years since I've seen this kind of service. So with that said I think you people at administration should utilize this young man's skills to teach your employees from all stores how customer service actually works. By the way his name was Eric and I did call in to corporate to say basically the same thing in hopes of you acknowledging his great service. I will be stopping in there again soon to see if he was approached by corporate and maybe even offer him a job at a friend's computer business. Keep up the good work Eric.”

“4.5/5 starsCame here as part of an Instagram collaboration. My favorite items were the Vietnamese steak and eggs (super tender meat and flavorful sauce) and the Cajun seafood platter (tender crawfish, shrimp, clams, and mussels). The $4 extra for live/fresh seafood is totally worth it. The seafood platter comes with delicious bread, which was perfect when dipped in the sauce! The crispy calamari was delicious (batter wasn’t too thick). The hot stone pho was average. I personally didn’t notice a significant difference between pho in a hot stone bowl vs regular pho. My bf loved the garlic noodles, but I thought it needed more flavor. All the items we got I would probably give 5/5 stars except for the pho and the garlic noodles, which I would give 3/5 stars”

The initial flavor of the matcha is good, and the blended drink is a nice consistency. The only thing is that the matcha does leave a bit of a grainy taste on your tongue with each sip. Lychee Jasmine Tea (4/5): It came with real lychee and green tea jelly, both of which are delicious with the drink. The flavor itself is very mild, the lychee flavor is not super strong but the drink is pretty good! Not too sweet either Will come back if I'm in the area.”

Rollin' Creamery 17908 1/2 Magnolia St, Fountain Valley Ice Cream Shop • $

“Came here after dinner in Fountain Valley. Cool concept here. I've seen it'll over social media of food vendors who use those techniques in other countries but never here. They use an anti griddle to make their concoctions. They have so many different flavors and choices. They have a whole bunch of choices on their walls with pictures, but they have even more choices found on their menu at the counter. They even have drinks and other kinds of desserts. The dessert comes out quickly. You can watch them make it on the anti griddle. The layout is weird. They have more seating towards the back. Even a fooseball table back there to sit and chill. The guy working the register was kinda mean and short; didn't like his attitude or tone. But I think that's just how he is and doesn't mean anything by it. There's no seating outside. So we just ate in the car. I ordered their caramel coconut delight. It tasted good. Light. But creamy. Not overly sweet. If you're able to pry the rolls out of the cup, it's much better to eat 1 roll at a time as you can feel the different layers, as suppose to eating it like ice cream or yogurt. It's a nice variation to the traditional ice cream or soft serve or yogurt you find everywhere else. It's a good way to end the night!!”

“I love a good iced Vietnamese style coffee with the only con being the portion size or use of ice that is common at these coffee shops. This was no exception. I ordered the 20 ounce and got 16 ounces of ice and 4 ounces of coffee. I could have ordered "less ice" or "light on ice" but it has been my experience that it does not make a difference as then you still get 4 ounces of coffee with more air space in the cup and less ice. Regardless, my fault for forgetting to attempt it as it would have at least given me a chance for a real amount of coffee. At least it was tasty.”

When my husband and I were in Vegas, we went almost every day today we passed by boiling crab, and there were such a long line outside, so my husband yelped, other seafood boil places OMG there is a hot and juicy in California!!!! my favorite seafood boil place has a location in California. You do not know how excited I was. There was not a wait Nina was our server and she did amazing. We ordered a dozen rock, oysters, lobster towel, fried chicken, wings, black mussels , corn, sausage, and egg. Hot and juicy very spicy when I tell you, this is the only place that brings the spice. This is the only place that brings us spice. Yum Yum Yum I love their flavor. Everything was so delicious tasted just like the Las Vegas location are so very happy. Nina gave us amazing customer service as well as her supporting staff. Everyone checked on us and everyone was very friendly. Highly recommend this is definitely going to be my go to spot!”

“We LOVE Chicken Maison!!!! The food is always fresh and delicious! We ordered the family meal and chose 2 of their popular flavors-- the original and the lemon basil garlic! The chickens were moist, juicy and very flavorful- but not too overwhelming! The lemon basil garlic had a little kick to it.. so my younger kids couldn't really eat it. For the sides we got the rice pilaf, hummus ( one of the best hummus) and steamed veggies ( which was cooked perfectly - not soggy and still had a nice crunch ) On top of it.. the meal came with pita bread and their yummy garlic sauce!”

“I had a craving for a Turkish-style breakfast and stumbled upon a charming place in Fountain Valley, CA, called Canan’s Kitchen & Bakery. The image you see captures Canan and her family, the proud owners of this small business. Intrigued, I delved into the reviews and was moved by how many patrons likened their experience to being in Turkey. The moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the thoughtful design of the place and the beautifully set tables. However, what truly stood out was Canan’s warm hospitality. Her customer service was exceptional—friendly, kind, and genuine. Every aspect of our experience was delightful; the tea and coffee were exquisite, and the bread, simply put, was delicious. It was an experience that left me feeling not just satisfied but also deeply appreciative of the care and dedication that Canan and her family put into their business. A little history of Turkish-style breakfast is renowned for its variety and deliciousness, rooted in centuries-old traditions. Featuring cheeses, olives, fresh bread, honey, and eggs, it offers a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The emphasis on communal dining and quality, locally sourced ingredients adds to its appeal, making it a cherished cultural experience.”

Kin Izakaya 16185 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley Ramen • $

“An Evening at Kin Izakaya: Where Tradition Meets Ambiance In the culinary haven that our city embodies, Kin Izakaya emerges as a sanctuary of authentic Japanese flavors combined with the convivial spirit typical of Japan’s iconic gastropubs. It’s here that tradition and modernity collide to create not just a meal, but an experience worth savoring. The moment you step through the doors of Kin Izakaya, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s both lively and intimately comforting. The ambient lighting, coupled with rustic décor and understated oriental motifs, offers a welcoming reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The soft murmur of patrons engaged in animated conversation sets the backdrop for an authentic izakaya experience. Kin Izakaya’s menu is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese fare and innovative culinary creations. The tapas-style dishes, perfect for sharing, encourage a communal dining experience. From the delicate flavors of their sashimi to the robust, savory notes found in their yakitori selection, there’s a delightful complexity in each dish presented. The agedashi tofu, with its perfect crispy exterior giving way to silken tofu within, is a testament to the chef’s prowess in honoring traditional flavors while serving contemporary palates.”
