Sandwich shop

Chicken restaurant
Bruxie is a bustling counter-serve cafe in Southern California, known for its gourmet waffle sandwiches, fries, and desserts. The flagship Orange location offers a unique take on the sandwich by using authentic light crispy Belgian Waffles as bread. Their menu features savory waffle sandwiches filled with fried chicken, hamburger patties, and more. Additionally, Bruxie serves Wisconsin-style frozen custard that tops their fresh waffles and root beer floats.
I absolutely love chicken and waffles, so whenever that craving hits, I head straight to Bruxie. This place never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. There usually isn’t much of a wait, which is a big plus. If you’re looking for crispy, flavorful chicken, this is definitely the place to go. I’ve tried several items on the menu, but the chicken and waffles are hands-down my favorite—especially when paired with a side of their delicious tater tots. The perfect comfort food combo! Bruxie is a must-visit if you're in the mood for something hearty and satisfying.

Not many vegetarian options. Besides a desert waffle or a breakfast burrito. There's a goat cheese sandwich on the online menu but not on the actual menu and its not served. I asked the server about vegetarian options and she said this is mostly a chiken place so vegetarian is limited. I would go here mainly for desert. Waffles with syrup are awesome. Ordered a cold brew with foam and more than half of the cup was foam.

Awesome chicken and waffles 🧇 If you like sweet and can handle spicy food I recommend the Honey Hot chicken in a waffle bun. You really can't go wrong with anything here. Fast and friendly service with an outdoor atmosphere 👍

I have never really tried the waffles with the chicken. I was afraid I wouldn’t make it, but was I am wrong. It was amazing. They are pet friendly so I took my little French bulldog and they gave her a little pup cup. She gives it a paws up.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I was in from out of town and looked at some spots with good reviews. I love chicken and waffles so I had to check out Bruxie. My wife and I ordered the original sandwich and the buttermilk fried chicken salad. They were both amazing! Tons of flavor and generous portions. But the real reason for 5 stars was a kid named Ruben who was working there. He helped us order and walked us through the menu. I told him I wanted fries but decided not to order them because I was feeling full from other meals. About 10 minutes into our meal Ruben walked over and set down some fries and said you gotta have these. It was a very thoughtful gesture and I thought his way of interacting and thoughtfulness made the night! I would hire him if I lived here in California. Give Ruben a raise because you don’t want to lose him anytime soon 👍

Had dinner at Bruxie in City of Orange. It's still great food and the atmospbere has a great small town vibe near Chapman University. The home architecture around here feels like the movie "Back to the future". Park next to Chapman Univ. As many street parking is for residents only.

They specialize in chicken and waffles, which they prepare to perfection. The waffles are crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The best in OC!! The strawberry waffles come with fresh berries and whipped cream. So good! The lemon-filled waffles are melt-in-your-mouth perfection. They have added several new items to their menu so check it out. Service is by cheerful staff who keep your coffee filled and the tables clean. The only downside is the location—it’s on a busy corner by Chapman University with only outside seating. They do have a mist system in the summer. It’s worth the drive and outside seating and noise—especially when you taste those dreamy waffles!!!
Linda E — Google review
So chicken has a unique taste. It's actually quite good. However, the service is a little off and the last time I went there. I experienced unfair service. It is a college environment, so if you are a student, or teacher you will probably be well taken care of. But as for regular folk, you kind of just have to roll with the punches. Simply put, the teacher walked up after I ordered and explained that he was late for his class and his students were waiting. They put his order in front of mine. I did not appreciate that. I have an hour lunch. I work like everyone else and I would appreciate equal service. Also, there is no inside seating. There is just outside seating, when somebody lights a cigarette by the trash can and thinks that we can't smell it, that's a mistake.

Mexican restaurant
Fish restaurant
Latin American restaurant
Seafood restaurant
Baja Fish Tacos is a popular casual dining spot known for its quick service and Baja-style seafood dishes. Established in 1996, this Southern California chain offers a variety of fresh options such as carne asada, sautéed shrimp, and Ensenada-style beer-battered fish tacos with cabbage and Baja sauce. While the eponymous fish tacos may be dry, the carne asada ones are recommended. The restaurant also features an incredibly fresh salsa bar.
I am from out of town on a business trip, live in AZ used to good Mexican food. I had the blackened fish burrito with pinto beans. I ordered it wet as Christmas with red & green sauce. This by far was the best fish burrito I have ever had. The burrito with the blackened fish had a very fresh and tasty flavor. The red and green sauces both were just as good. The red sauce reminds me of New Mexico red chili. The salsa bar was an extra bonus to try few different salsas.

We’ve been eating at Baja Fish Taco for almost 15 years. We love the quality of the food along with the great taste. I highly recommend getting the chicken or fish platter and a side of the chips and salsa. The different salsas are really tasty but the pickled onions steal the show.

Bought an order of their new shrimp ceviche and upon getting home I noticed the ridiculous portion they served me for $12. Seems like they used 3 shrimps with mostly veggies. Never going back again. My family and I were regulars but after this experience never again. Not worth $12 plus tax

Terrible customer service i have ordered countless times from this place and many times they get my order wrong and it’s always something so simple no cheese on tacos how hard is that to do. But today I’m done with this place after pretty much telling me I put cheese on my own tacos how crazy is that. I ordered 4 tacos as usual no cheese I asked the cashier IRMA no cheese and please make sure as they always get my order wrong and I’m allergic to cheese said ok. My order is ready she said she checked and make sure it had no cheese I take her word for it I get home I opened the tacos all 4 have cheese I call her back and asked her why my tacos had cheese when I told her to make sure the receipt said no cheese the bag said no cheese but the tacos have cheese. She said she was gonna check with her manager. She comes back on the phone and tell me she and her manager checked my order and the tacos had no cheese so practically telling me I put cheese on them my self how ridiculous is that. I told her so I put cheese on them my self right or got them from Taco Bell or another restaurant and want to waste my time returning them. She never accepted her mistake instead blame me the customer. She offered to remake the tacos but I’ve had enough cause like I said this is not the first time this has happened so I just wanted my money back and I will never recommend this place to anyone let alone order from this company again. Manager didn’t even bother talking me. Just terrible customer service. Hope my experience helps some folks. I was so furious i instantly went back and called that forgot to take pictures of the tacos and and receipt. The location of the place is the one on Bristol. I’m adding other pictures from a different time so you can see it’s not the first time

Barbecue restaurant
Heritage Barbecue, located in San Juan Capistrano, offers a Texas-style BBQ experience with a rotating menu of sides. The restaurant is designed for pandemic compliance, featuring an outdoor operation with picnic tables for seating. It shares its outdoor patio with Capistrano Brewing Company and has gained a cult following for its small-batch, hand-crafted meats cooked on outdoor smokers.
Heritage Barbecue definitely lives up to the hype! The wait was about 1 hour and 20 minutes, but so worth it. The food was absolutely delicious,flavorful, tender, and clearly made with care. If you’re a barbecue lover (or even if you’re not), I highly recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait ,it’s popular for a reason!
Juana S — Google review
I wanted to like this place. With all the hype. Everything thing I tried was just mid tier. The brisket was okay at best. The pork spare rib was really tender. The char siu was tender but lacked flavor. Cheddar jalapeno sausage was average. The brisket beans and mac & cheese were nothing special. Hot cucumber was overly salty. The people work there are great! The wait on a Saturday was just over an hour.

Smoked out Sundays done RIGHT! We hit up Heritage Barbecue in San Juan Capistrano to feast on BBQ. 🥩 Juicy brisket, massive dino ribs, tender pulled pork, spicy hot sausages, loaded nachos and fall-off-the-bone spare ribs — we feasted like true Texans... but in SoCal style. 🤠🍖 If you're a BBQ lover, this spot needs to be on your bucket list. Only downside was the almost 2 hours line.
Abe S — Google review
Fantastic bbq that is tender and falls off the bone! Slow cooked in their smokers and has great flavor! Get there early because the line gets long! We got there about 15 min before they opened and waited an hour and a half but it was worth the wait. The owner is really nice, service is excellent and food is amazing. Definitely coming back.

A week ago we finally had a chance to try out @heritagebarbecue in @sanjuancapistrano (one of my SoCal favorite cities), and it was deliciously worth the almost 2 hour wait. On this visit we wanted to try out their Pulled pork and Brisket Sando, pulled pork Bahn Mi, Brisket beans, Pollo Asado, Elote, pickles, pickled cucumbers, and not pictured their amazing flour tortillas which won last years @kcrwgoodfood and @gustavo_arellano great tortilla tournament. Also while waiting in line I enjoyed an ice cold beer! Always check their business hours to see what time they open, and I highly recommended you get there an hour early before they open, and make it a day there, lots of things to see, do, and enjoy. #foodie #whatchefsliketoeat #bbq #heritagebbq #michelinbibgourmand #foodporn #bbqporn #sandwiches #pulledpork #brisket #polloasado #delicious #sanjuancapistrano #california

The food is great 😊 we ordered beef rib pulled pork, spareribs all three were fantastic, soft all of the bone juicy 🤤 We ordered the macaroni and cheese, brisket, beans, and a corn my total was 167$ Not including the three beers, lemonade, and mango seltzer and a water bottle. We waited in line for about an hour and 10 minutes just to order and maybe like 10/15 to receive your platter We did get there around 1 and they were already sold out of their beef, brisket and some other items

Fantastic staff and clearly passionate about what they do. Exceptional BBQ craftsmanship behind the windows which is awesome. The flavors are outstanding and everything is made with such care. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. My only regret is not being here through the weekend to try their specials.

Tacos Los Cholos has quickly become a beloved staple in the taco scene since its humble beginnings as a pop-up shop outside owner Josue Maldonado's home in 2019. After winning the 2023 LA Taco Madness, this culinary gem now boasts locations in Anaheim, Fullerton, and Huntington Park. Known for their traditional yet creatively crafted tacos, Tacos Los Cholos draws crowds eager to savor their legendary Tacos al Carbon—grilled to perfection over mesquite charcoal.
They have delicious food. Their burrito was quite large and it was packed full of flavor. The prices were average for the area. The staff were friendly and service was fast. They had three sauces each were tasty in their own way. My wife had the quesadilla it was tasty. Overall if you’re looking for a fast and tasty meal I’d definitely consider giving them a chance.
Coach T — Google review
Tacos Los Cholos - Loaded Tacos, Lethal Salsas. In a world where Taco Bell and Chipotle have become synonymous with ‘Mexican’ food, one begins to wonder - is there still room for a more authentic take on the humble taco? It’s a Thursday night. The carpark’s looking like a game of Vehicular Tetris, while a line of hungry bystanders trail haphazardly out the door and onto the footpath. The restaurant itself is intimidatingly busy. Between hurried waitstaff weaving between riotous patrons, the bustling self-serve stations and orders being called out constantly, there’s an awful lot to take in. It’s loud, rambunctious, and in your face - but that’s all very fitting considering the food being served; after all, what good taco isn’t bold, punchy and a blow to the senses? Inside, the interior looks a little gaudy, even tacky. Animated flames lick the menu screens, with eclectic font choices evoking memories of a junior high’s PowerPoint presentation (WordArt is still cool okay!). Despite the.. inspired design choice and general flair, the menu presents a ridiculous number of items on offer - while impressive, it’s undoubtedly overwhelming for newcomers and indecisive patrons alike. Saying that, with 14 protein options for tacos alone, there’s bound to be something for everyone, even if the average patron has no idea how to pronounce half of them. Even for those of us familiar with the more authentic side of Mexican cuisine (and I’ve eaten my way through Chipotle’s menu, so I’m obviously well versed.. right?) the first bite of the tacos here is a near religious experience. Savoury, and zingy - with each bite a revelation, and every note hitting perfectly in this salacious symphony of salsas and spices. With mountainous mounds of meat atop each taco, it’s no wonder they’re cradled by double tortillas - there’s more than enough fillings for an extra taco with what drops out while they’re being lovingly obliterated by the hungry hordes. Needless to say, you won’t leave hungry - as if with food this good you’d want to leave at all. Naively, I thought I had a grasp on Mexican food before now, but little did I know I was about to transcend to a higher plane of existence, where the humble taco is elevated to something closer to a taste of heaven than the soggy $2 slop most have settled for on a night out. The self serve saucing station is a spectacle in itself - with 6-8 salsas along with a lineup of traditional taco accoutrements, pure bliss is only a spoonful away. It’s a savoury pick’n’mix for the indecisive looking to level up their taco game, and man, does it ever deliver. Each salsa hits hard in its own way - no weak links, just liquid gold with a punch, every single one. But such praise comes with equal warning; select your (sadistically unlabelled) sauces carefully - while all are undoubtedly delicious, some will truly have you walking that fine line between pleasure and pain with heat levels ranging from the gentle warmth of a lover’s embrace, all the way to face-melting regret in salsa form. I tell ya, I’ve met the devil and I’ve tasted the fires of hell, fresh from the Taco Los Cholos’ sauce station. It’s a testament to just how damn good the food is though, that despite the chaos within, the crowds keep coming - and really, that’s all part of the experience. Whether ordering to-go or eating in, there’s a buzz in the air, and you can’t help but be drawn in to the full throttle fiesta that is Tacos Los Cholos. Say ciao to Chipotle, and ta-ta to Taco Bell; instead, treat yourself to a little TLC at Tacos Los Cholos.

Tacos Los Cholos Review Every time I pass by Tacos Los Cholos, I notice the line wrapped around the block, with every seat taken and no standing room available. The parking lot is always packed, which is a clear sign of a bustling business. Intrigued by the hype, I decided to arrive at 10:30 AM to be one of the first in line when they opened at 11:00. Unfortunately, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment. Despite trying a premium taco to give it a fair chance, I found the meat lacking. On the bright side, the salsa and poblano chili were delicious—definitely a highlight of the meal. The wait for my order was quick, and I must say, the salsa bar is outstanding. However, will I be returning? I don't think so. While I understand that everyone has different tastes when it comes to tacos, these just didn't resonate with me. Their salsa is so good I could drink it, but ultimately, the large size of the tacos doesn't matter much if I don't enjoy the main ingredient. To each their own, but that was my experience.
Pennie M — Google review
The food here is excellent honestly, some of the best tacos in the area. The flavors are authentic, and everything is worth trying. The staff is always friendly and works hard to keep up with the rush. That said, be prepared for long waits. On a regular day, it can take around 20 minutes to order and another 15 minutes to get your food. On weekends, the line can stretch to an hour or more, and seating becomes very limited. Because it gets so busy, cleanliness isn't always at its best, though the staff does their best given the volume of customers. Parking is also limited, so it can take a bit of patience to find a spot. Overall, the food makes it worth it, but just plan ahead for the wait and the crowd.

Randomly discovered this place and was seriously impressed by the food! I ordered the asada flour burrito and the baked stuffed potato with skirt steak, both were packed with flavor. The BBQ on the meat was incredible, adding a rich, smoky taste that really stood out. I also tried the beef rib taco, which was equally delicious. I topped some bites with the orange-colored sauce from the sauce station, highly recommend giving that a try. Definitely ordered more than I could finish, but everything looked too good to pass up. Worth every bite! This place is super busy, tons of people but the wait was not bad.

Simply delishisimo, my to go for tacos & burrito place. The foods are just tasty, greatly marinated and well cook, juicy and tender. The portion is just double than what you would expected, I could made 3 tacos out of 1 taco with generous meat portion. They have 3 levels of meat for you to choose and the prices are from $2+ and up to $17+ for a taco and more for others. Worth it, but I have not try the top tier yet…just the 1st 2. Service here is fantastic, they are all very nice, friendly and very helpful when you don’t know what the dish is. Order part is easy, except for the line. It can be 20-30mins long if you come in during the rush hrs or holidays - we got lucky most of the time since we can abit off hr, and 10mins prior the open time. Parking is durable since it’s their own parking lot but you might have to wait for park a block away on street parking when it packs. They do have indoor and outdoor sitting with fans and TVs with sports and music too. They also do have 2 self serve condiments stations and they have various choices of level of salsa plus side pickles veggies and fresh veggies too and they all very yummy. Can’t wait til next time.

Lets cut to the chase — the food at Tacos Los Cholos is crazy good. We ordered asada, pollo and adobada tacos and stacked them up with onion, cilantro and salsas from the salsa bar. All the tacos were awesome, but the real standout was the rice and beans. It's such a simple dish, but done right. The aguas de sandia and piña were refreshing and on point too. Prices can get expensive if you only order the "premium" or "prime" items. Cash is king and will also save you some money. The place looks kind of ragged, but I think that's the look they're going for. There was an armed guard standing by the door. I don't know if this place gets rowdy at night, but everyone was chill around noon Parking can be a pain. It was semi clean (due LOTS of people) and the staff were friendly.

Food was very good and came out at a very decent time for a big group.

Not knocking this place at all… Not bad. But not worth the money spent for the amount of food was my rating reason. The food was, good, not amazing. But it came out really fast and was on the smaller side. Outside seating was nice and the staff were friendly and courteous. There are a few really good breakfast / brunch spots on Main. This one just didn’t grab us with the return soon feel. Maybe someday.

Great place for kids and just to meet up. Bathroom is clean, food is fresh, atmosphere is great and overall, this is a great breakfast place. Sometimes there’s a wait but none today.

Originating from the famous LA soul food restaurant established over three decades ago, Roscoe's has gained recognition from notable figures like former President Obama, Snoop Dogg, and David Beckham.
Excellent fried chicken and waffles. I don't really go for anything else but I hear the other food is good too. I sat on the patio for this particular visit and really enjoyed being outside instead of in the main dining room which can get kind of loud at times. That's the only reason why I took on star off of atmosphere. If you want a quieter meal, and the weather is nice, definitely ask to sit outside on the patio.

The reviews for this restaurant are all over the place so I recommend trying for yourself at least once. Is it expensive? YES. Could the service be better? YES. But was the food good? Absolutely YES! My chicken was so juicy- it was some of the best I've ever had. And the waffle had great flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness. My daughter was no where near as impressed with her chicken tenders, so keep that in mind. Also, be aware that they don't split checks and they charge a 3% fee if paying with a card. Still worth a visit!

The service was terrible. The waiter never introduced his name and had to keep asking for things multiple times. Never wrote down the order and got it wrong! Hair in my Lemonade!! When I asked for a replacement and it off my check, this never happened for me! Terrible atmosphere. Waitstaff and Hostess Rude! I had a horrible time! The food was okay but had to keep sending it back because something was off or wasn’t hot! Horrible!!!!

I’ve been to Roscoe’s in Anaheim several times over the years, and the food is always good. It never disappoints. The chicken and waffles hit the spot every time. On this visit, our server was a little slower than I’d like, but it wasn’t a big issue and didn’t take away from the overall experience. Always a solid choice when I’m in the area.

If happiness had a flavor, it would taste like Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles! I ordered the classic #1 combo, and oh wow—crispy, golden fried chicken paired with fluffy, buttery waffles that could make anyone smile. It’s the perfect sweet-and-savory duo that just hits right. The service was quick and friendly, and the whole place has that warm, family-friendly vibe that makes you want to stay a while (and maybe order seconds). Everyone seemed to be having a good time, and honestly, it’s easy to see why—Roscoe’s is pure comfort food magic. If you haven’t been yet, grab your friends, your family, or just your appetite—Roscoe’s is the real deal!

Love the murals and the menu happened to be 50% off when we went. I opted for the red beans and rice as well as the corn bread and cabbage. 🔥🔥🔥Also, several folks were celebrating their birthdays and the staff sang to them🎈🎈🎈

As a east coast person traveling to disney land from my stop in san diego I had to try Roscoe's we of course tried their waffles and chicken. For the most part the food was great service was decent and everyone left with bellies full. Maybe too full. My Brother in law drank the gravy.... who does that. It hit us hard after a lot of traveling. Would recommend.

Dumpling restaurant
Din Tai Fung is a modern restaurant that originated from Taiwan and is well-known for its Shanghai-style soup dumplings and noodles. Since opening in 2014, the Costa Mesa location has consistently drawn long lines of eager diners.
Absolutely love Din Tai Fung at South Coast Plaza! Every visit is a treat, and it’s become our go-to spot for consistently delicious Taiwanese cuisine. The cucumber salad is the perfect starter—refreshing, crisp, and bursting with flavor. The green beans are expertly sautéed with just the right amount of garlic, and the fried rice is always fluffy and flavorful without being greasy. But the real stars are the dumplings—steamed to perfection with delicate wrappers and juicy, savory fillings that melt in your mouth. Be prepared for a wait, though—it’s always busy, and for good reason. Make sure to join the waitlist through the app or online ahead of time, and don’t forget to show up when you get your notification. It’s definitely worth the wait every single time. The service is attentive and efficient, even when the restaurant is packed. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting South Coast Plaza or just craving top-tier dumplings and Taiwanese comfort food. Five stars all the way!

This restaurant is extremely popular, expect to be on the waitlist for over two hours, even on weekdays. The staff was welcoming and friendly, which made the experience more pleasant. As for the food, it was okay, but in my opinion, the hype doesn't quite match the quality. It's worth trying once, but I wouldn’t wait that long again just for the food.

Visited Din Tai Fung in Costa Mesa for dinner during our Orange County weekend getaway, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a beautiful, lively atmosphere — modern yet warm, with great attention to detail in both decor and service. We ordered everything vegetarian, and every dish exceeded expectations. The vegan dumplings were perfectly steamed, light, and packed with flavor. The noodles had just the right texture, and the fried rice was simple yet delicious, full of freshness and balance. For dessert, we went with their chocolate baos — I don’t recall the exact name, but they were like warm dumplings filled with melted chocolate, and honestly, they were heavenly! It’s a dessert you must not miss if you visit. The staff was attentive and polite, ensuring we had a smooth experience despite the restaurant being busy. The service, food quality, and overall ambiance made it one of the most memorable meals of the trip. If you’re visiting Costa Mesa or nearby areas, Din Tai Fung is absolutely worth the stop — perfect for a cozy dinner or a special night out. Must-try: Vegan Dumplings & Chocolate Baos

We went in a big group and absolutely loved it. We tried so many dishes, I can’t even name them all here. When we first sat down, they got us some short ribs and cucumbers to apologize for the long wait. We had reservations and we still waited over 30 minutes to get our table. Well worth it. Once we were seated, everything was delicious and we were treated very well. The mango shave, ice dessert was unexpected and delicious. Can’t wait to go back.

The staff here is absolutely excellent. They work well together, they’re kind, and extremely attentive. The atmosphere is beautiful and even though this location is busy I’ve never had to wait for too long to be seated and they also have open seating at the bar. The food is pretty good but for the price I will say I’ve had better. But as far as consistency and quality is concerned it is definitely worth a visit.

I understand the hype now. Was my first time there after my wife kept raving about this place. Food was delicious, our server was so professional, items came out timely and overall a great experience. Make sure you get on the waitlist list 1 to 2 hours earlier than you’d like to eat!

This was my first time at Din Tai Fung and I went with my cousin who has been there before. If you know anything about Din Tai Fung, you know it’s very popular and because I went during lunch time, it was very busy so just make sure you make a reservation shortly before you arrive so the wait time is lower! While we waited, we were given a menu to look over what we wanted to order. The staff were very kind! One of the waiters was telling us a story while he seated us and another came by often to take our empty dishes and taught us how to create a special sauce for our dumplings. They were very patient and made the experience very memorable! The place itself was nicely decorated and very clean as well! Onto the food, my cousin helped me decide what to order. We ordered the: cucumber salad, sweet & sour pork baby back ribs, kurobuta pork xiao long bao, chicken spicy dumplings, and chicken fried rice. Each dish was so good but the korubuta pork xiao long bao definitely takes the cake. I ate it exactly how the instructions told me to and it made the experience 10x better. I felt like a food enthusiast with the way I was carefully eating these dumplings. The dishes my cousin and I ordered fit well together. Out of them all, I think the chicken fried rice was the least impressive just because I felt it lacked something. I couldn’t tell you what but I think I just expected a little more given that the other dishes had a certain uniqueness that the fried rice didn’t have. Overall, I had a really good experience here and would definitely come back. I miss the kurobuta pork xiao long bao.. I recommend this place!

Porto's Bakery and Cafe, with multiple locations in the Los Angeles area, is a popular Cuban bakery known for its lively atmosphere and delicious offerings. Visitors can indulge in a variety of freshly baked goods, including cheese rolls, potato balls, and guava-filled pastries. The cafe also serves up Cuban sandwiches and other Latin snacks like tamales and croquetas de pollo or de jamon.
Gosh this place is hella busy and there is always a line up. To our surprise they are very efficient in moving the line up though but expect at-least a 30 mins wait. May not be a good place to get your caffeine in, especially if you are on the go. Decent baked goods. The match drink is okay if you like a light matcha taste. We prefer a strong bold Matcha taste and this one is far from offering that. These are everywhere in Los Angeles and they have build a reputation cafe place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Porto’s Bakery – Buena Park, CA Porto’s Bakery in Buena Park is truly one of my favorite places to visit whenever I’m in Southern California! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked pastries and coffee instantly makes you smile. The display cases are filled with irresistible treats—my personal favorites are the guava pastries, cheese rolls, and of course, the famous potato balls. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Even though Porto’s is incredibly popular and always busy, the customer service is exceptional. The staff is friendly, efficient, and there are always plenty of them to keep things moving quickly. The line might look long, but it moves fast thanks to how well organized everything is. The establishment is spotless, from the counters to the cafe area, and it’s such a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your coffee and pastries. Speaking of coffee—theirs is delicious and pairs perfectly with any of their baked goods. Parking can get a little crowded, especially on weekends, but it’s worth it every time. Porto’s is a true Southern California staple—a must-visit for anyone who loves great food, great service, and an all-around delightful experience!

We can't leave California without visiting PORTO'S - IYKYK!!! The guaranteed long lines, no matter when you go confirms how incredibly good this bakery is! Prices are very reasonable and bakery items are heavenly made. It really is that good! We got the coffee cake this time as well as their signature guava pastries and everything else on the menu, lol. This is a 10000% cheat day that's well worth it! Ordered a vanilla chai Latte which was perfect. They have an efficient system to take your order. Plenty of seating and staff is sweet! Which we had this on the east coast.

114/10 My first time at this spot(Buena Park), we ordered cheese rolls, guava pie and Cubano (Cuban Sandwich). The Cubano comes with plantain chips, crispy! I really like the Cubano, the meat is flavorful and the portion is big, can share with two people. The guava pie is just sweet, not my jam. The cheese rolls are my all time favorite, classical comfort food! We also bump into a Labubu meet up group haha, they are so cute!!

Portos is great, bakery, drink, everything. Only one thing that needs huge improvement... traffic. If ever they are reading this review, put several staffs at the parking lot (or the exit) to help with traffic in and out. I am sure they can afford or spare several people to do that. FYI, average wait time for bakery is about 25 - 40 mins at least on weekend.

Went to Buena Park location on Saturday morning. Line outside to get in. It was not too bad of wait lines moves quickly. All the counters I went to order/pick up were all quick. Everyone know what they are doing. Great customer service! Picked up 6 dozens cheese rolls, 2 dozens guava cheese, 2 dozens dulcet de leche besito cookies for work trip to out of state. Got breakfast sandwich and guava juice. Everything always great at Portos! I wish there are more locations. Hopefully one day they'll expend to San Diego, airports and other states!

Cream Pan is a Japanese-French bakery in Tustin that offers a delightful fusion of French and Japanese baking techniques. The owner, Yoshinori Inada, brings his extensive experience to create an array of decadent treats such as the famous Strawberry Croissant and the signature Cream Pan bun filled with rich custard.
I have been coming here for many years. The Boston donut is incredible! Lots of things are. The Apple croissant is surprisingly amazing. They are known for their strawberry cream croissant. Prices are also super reasonable and so the line in the mornings even years later is often out the door, though it moves fast. Sometimes I can just breeze right in and out. Although I give the place an overall close to 5, I must disclose the butter croissant (pictured) is not a 5. The flavor is actually quite good and better than most, even ones I rate higher. But the sound and crunch are not there, so I can only give it a 3.5, sadly. It is consistent throughout the day somehow, whether 8am or 1:30pm (both pictured), so it has that going for it, but I grade tough so I think most people will be happy.

Celebrated an early Mother’s Day with the fam, so guess what I’m bringing?! Strawberry croissants! Parking: There’s a large parking lot, but it’s always busy here, so finding a spot can be somewhat difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They’re always poppin, and yes there’ll be a line. There’s signs everywhere asking for the door to remain closed if there’s a line. Make sure you’re not one of those people that can’t read and leave the door open. It’s pretty small inside. No indoor seating. They do have a small outdoor seating area. Service: Throughput was surprisingly quick for how long the line was. Shout out to the hard working women there. They’re quick & efficient. They do have a heavy accent, and it could be difficult to understand them. Pastries & coffee: We ordered the strawberry croissants, caramel mocha latte, and white chocolate mocha latte. The strawberry croissants are the reasons why we always come back. Love how airy and perfectly crisp their croissants are. The filling isn’t too sweet, and the strawberries are fresh. The lattes were okay .. I saw that they actually make their espressos by hand. The caramel mocha was sweet, of course. The white chocolate mocha was decent. Both could use a stronger coffee taste bc it was pretty light. Pricing: The croissants are expensive, but definitely worth it for any occasion. Will be back to try their other pastries and coffee!

A Must-Visit Bakery Gem — Consistent, Fresh & Always Delicious! After my morning run today, I decided to stop by Cream Pan, one of my all-time favorite bakeries. I’ve been here several times, and I can confidently say I’ve never had a bad experience. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the most amazing aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries. The staff is always warm and friendly, and the display cases are filled with everything from sushi rolls and sandwiches to pastries, cakes, and desserts it’s impossible not to find something tempting. I first discovered Cream Pan thanks to my brother when we were in California for my wedding. He stopped by to grab some snacks, and that’s where my love for this place began. We picked up the crispy chicken sandwich, the turkey avocado sandwich, the strawberry and cream sandwich, and of course, the famous olive bread with dipping olive oil and wow, that olive bread is what won me over! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Since then, I’ve been back several times, and the consistency has been impressive. My favorite item is definitely the turkey avocado sandwich, followed closely by the crispy chicken sandwich. There was one time my olive bread came out slightly burnt, but every visit after that has been perfect they really do pay attention to quality. Today marked my fourth visit, though I arrived a bit late in the afternoon, so many items were already sold out (a good sign of how popular this place is!). They were out of the turkey avocado sandwich, but one of the sweetest employees recommended their egg sandwich, saying it’s a customer favorite. I also decided to finally try their famous strawberry croissant with custard. Both were incredible. The egg sandwich was light, creamy, and super fresh one side had tomato, the other cucumber, giving it the perfect balance of texture and flavor. The strawberry croissant was pure heaven flaky pastry, smooth custard that wasn’t overly sweet, and fresh strawberries dusted with powdered sugar on top. Everything about it was perfect. My mom also loves Cream Pan every time I fly back home to Miami, she makes sure I bring her the olive bread. It’s become our little family tradition now. Overall, Cream Pan is a solid 10/10. The food is consistently delicious, the staff is kind, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. It’s one of those rare bakeries that truly lives up to its reputation. Can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!

Cream Pan Bakery in Tustin offers an impressive selection of fresh bakery items and light meals. Their menu includes a range of sandwiches such as katsu, along with sushi rolls and other Japanese-inspired dishes. Service is consistently quick, prices are reasonable, and the outdoor patio adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Ample parking makes it convenient, though weekend lines can be quite long — a testament to their popularity.

Mediocrity in dessert form: Strawberry croissant: - fruit: no different from what you’d get at Walmart, not sweet, not very fragrant - cream: liquidity, not much happening besides “vanilla” - pastry: same quality as you’d get by buying frozen buff pastry and rolling them before baking Cake roll: - still frozen - yet still somehow still freaking dry (honestly impressive) Pudding: - best of the bunch, vanilla flavor was artificial, too much egg flavor (not the creaminess of yolk, the unpleasant flavor of egg white) Service: bunch of people who couldn’t be bothered, which, let’s be honest given the shitty interior and what they’re probably paid? Fair. All of you praising this place to high heaven, so envious you can be so happy with such low effort products 👌

I’ve been coming to Cream Pan for years. The ambiance has always been the same, simple, easy, and welcoming, with lots of fresh food to choose from. It’s been one of the reasons I’ve continued to support them, a reliable go-to spot with consistently good offerings. But today’s experience left me really disappointed. I had purchased some food and a hot large latte, but with errands and a lot on my mind, I accidentally left the drink behind. I called the store shortly after to apologize and let them know I’d be back to pick it up later, or if it was okay for one of my staff members to do so. The first person who answered the phone was extremely rude and dismissive. She gave me clear attitude, made me feel like I was bothering her, and without a word, threw the call to someone else. Thankfully, the second person was kind, professional, and helped me resolve the situation, but the treatment I received initially was uncalled for. The staff was trying to protect one another because when I asked the second girl twice, who that first girl's name was, she wouldn't answer my question. I wasn’t demanding, I wasn’t rude. I even apologized for the inconvenience. I just don’t understand why I was met with that kind of energy, especially when I was just trying to communicate and find a simple solution. I really do love Cream Pan as a brand. But the customer service experience matters just as much as the food. It’s the experience that makes people want to return, and if it starts to feel disrespectful or dismissive, it’s hard to want to keep coming back. I’m disappointed, especially because I care about supporting small businesses. But if staff aren’t trained to treat customers with basic courtesy, it’s going to cost them in the long run.

Japanese restaurant
Izakaya restaurant
Ramen restaurant
Honda-Ya is a Japanese restaurant located in a plaza in old town Tustin. The menu features yakitori, but there are also many noodles, sushi, and more items on the menu. The service is fast, and the servers are always nice and friendly. Everything on the menu is delicious, so it's worth trying out!
I came back to Honda-Ya again last night, and just like every visit before, it absolutely did not disappoint. From my very first time here to now several visits later, this place continues to deliver consistent excellence in both service and food. Even when it’s busy or winding down toward the end of the night, the staff never misses a beat. Our servers are always incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely make you feel welcome without being overbearing. They’re quick to take care of anything you need and always maintain such a pleasant, professional attitude. As for the food—absolutely phenomenal. Everything is prepared with such care, and you can tell the chefs put real attention into both the flavor and presentation. The lamb is hands-down my favorite—perfectly seasoned and tender every time. The pork belly is a close second, rich and flavorful with that perfect balance of crisp and melt-in-your-mouth texture. I also highly recommend the Japanese beef, which is so juicy and savory, and the soft shell crab, which is lightly crisped and full of flavor. And then there’s the miso soup… wow. I always end up ordering two or three bowls throughout the meal—it’s honestly the best I’ve ever had anywhere. I don’t know what they do differently, but it’s rich, deeply umami, and incredibly comforting. It elevates the entire dining experience. Yes, Honda-Ya can be a bit on the pricey side, but every single dish is worth it. The quality, consistency, and atmosphere make it more than just a meal—it’s an experience. This has become one of my go-to spots for a reason, and I’ll keep coming back as long as they keep serving food and service at this level.

I have been a loyal customer of Honda-Ya for over 20 years, consistently coming back because of the great memories and experiences I’ve had here. Today, I visited again with friends from Torrance and LA, while hosting from my home in Irvine. For me, Honda-Ya has always been more than just a restaurant—it’s been a place filled with memories. My wife and I had our very first date here, and it was also the very first restaurant I took my child to. This place has always carried a special meaning in my life. When it comes to the food, it was exactly as I remembered from my first visit two decades ago—comforting, consistent, and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the overall experience today was far from the Honda-Ya I have loved and supported for years. At some point during our meal, I couldn’t help but feel that we were being rushed to leave. Our plates were being cleared away before we were even finished, and without any prior notice, we were suddenly informed about a two-hour dining limit. It was frustrating to hear this not when we were seated or placing our first order, but in the middle of our dining experience, as if we were being hurried out. Only later, on our way out, did I see the posted notice about this policy. But by then, the damage was done. Basic courtesy and common sense would suggest that such an important rule should be communicated upfront, not enforced mid-meal in such an abrupt manner. What makes this experience even more disappointing is my history with this restaurant. During the pandemic, when I was worried Honda-Ya might not survive, I consistently ordered takeout every week to show support and do my part as a loyal customer. That was how much this restaurant meant to me. Tonight, the four of us spent $403 within two hours—easily the highest per-person spend I’ve made here in all these years. And yet, despite being among the most loyal of customers and spending generously, I felt I received the worst treatment I’ve ever experienced at Honda-Ya. It’s truly disheartening. I will always cherish the memories I’ve made here over the past two decades, but after tonight, I can no longer see myself coming back. In the end, what hurts the most is not the money spent, but realizing that the place I once considered special no longer feels the same.

I had a craving for yakitori and decided to revisit Honda-Ya in Tustin. It’s been years since my last visit, but the food and energy here still hit all the right notes. We came around 8:30 PM and the wait for two was about 25 minutes — not bad considering how packed it can get. The ambiance is cozy and bustling, with warm lantern lighting, wooden decor, and that nostalgic izakaya charm. You can hear the faint sizzle from the grill and laughter from nearby tables, which just adds to the whole experience. We sat at the bar and ordered a mix of skewers: chicken thigh with sauce, shishito peppers, quail eggs, scallops, pork belly, and a few adventurous organ meats. Everything came out perfectly charred and juicy. The chicken thigh with sauce and shishito peppers were absolute standouts — smoky, flavorful, and addictive. The bacon-wrapped tomato remains a classic favorite, bursting with flavor that balances perfectly with the saltiness of the meat. To pair with the skewers, I had the Honda-Ya Original Beer — malty, smooth, and without a bitter aftertaste. It complemented the food perfectly. Service was quick and friendly, even with how busy it was. Skewers were an easy 5/5, ambiance 4.5/5, and service 5/5. Prices are on the steeper side for yakitori, but given the quality and atmosphere, it’s well worth an occasional visit. Pro tip: sit at the bar for the best experience — you get to watch the chefs work their magic right over the grill.

I love this place so much. I came here 3xs already. I took my family here especially my mom was so excited to have some dishes that you couldn't find at any other resturants like this place. It reminded me of back home in Okinawa. It's so hard ti find a good Okinawa resturant. It took me way back. My mom was even delighted. We ordered so much and highly recommend everything here. The customer service is amazing. Auntie that works here she's super sweet and she's so attentive. Very good hospitality. She just adds to the experience. She ensured we were well taken care of. We sat in the tatami room. So warning to those who have a bad knee or weak back. But it's a pleasant experience. The quality and price of the food is great affordable. And if your looking to have a good time and enjoy yourself whether it be with friends, on a date, or with family highly recommend you will feel like your part of the family coming here. Can't wait to go back because the food just melts in your melt..so delicious.

Pretty busy restaurant. We waited almost an hour for a table. Once we were seated, the waitress was able to take our order and bring out the food. The yakitoris weren't as hot as we'd like but it was delicious. We also had the yakiudon along with the eel rice bowl. Added in a sushi roll and takoyaki too

We visited during lunch time, so there weren't many options. However, the food was amazing! We ordered several types of stew and all of them were delicious. I highly recommend the beef tongue, pork belly, skin, and chicken cartilage. We also loved the vibe of the restaurant - it really felt like we were in Japan.

I absolutely love this place! I’ve visited several times and finally had to leave a review. I brought my daughter and some friends, and everyone was so impressed. The food was amazing, everything we ordered was delicious and melted in your mouth. Especially The Yellowtail Belly Sashimi $19.95 was super fresh and flavorful, and the Japanese Beef $17.85 was incredibly tender. The prices are fair, and the quality is excellent. This time, we ordered a lot for just the three of us. When I got home and looked over the bill, I noticed we were charged for the Bacon Asparagus $10.50 but it was never brought to the table, that was a bit disappointing. I usually take pictures of everything that comes out because I love sharing on Yelp, and it wasn’t there. We sat on chairs without back support not the most comfortable, but it was still a nice experience overall. The service was outstanding, our server was so sweet and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of. Whether you’re coming with family, friends, or on a date, you’ll feel right at home here. Can’t wait to go back but make sure to check your bill before you leave. Be prepared for significant waits, especially on weekends and during peak dining hours and limited parking !

Slapfish is a laid-back eatery with chic interiors that specializes in American seafood cuisine made from fresh, market-sourced fish. Known for its delectable lobster roll and variety of sauces like 'Awesome Sauce' and 'Jersey,' this sustainable ocean fare destination has become a local favorite. The restaurant's expansion to over 20 locations, including South Korea, is a testament to its popularity.
If you have read any my other reviews service can add stars to a rating. Lately with c19 there have been allowances made for how things are done. Not here. The service was excellent, the employees helpful and attentive even though we all are on the outside seating. Our group tried several things (see photos) and everything was well made, had great flavors and in the case of the shrimp burrito, larger than it looks. The outdoor seating lends itself to relaxed and comfortable experience. The gourmet sodas, normally not as good as advertised, were close to but better than the normal name brand drinks. Everyone was discussing what we would get next time we came, while we are still sitting there recovering from an incredible meal. Next to the Raw bar to sample the Bar there. Update: Stepped by and was lucky enough to get an off menu item. The staff was brilliant as usual. Restuarant was busy but kept moving. Everyone looked to be enjoying the food and atmosphere. After all the craziness of the last year, it is surprising how satisfying having a place with great food, great service feels.

This place wasn't bad. The chowder was pretty good. Lobster roll and surf and turf sandwich was decent as well. The tacos were a little off to me. Not sure but just wasn't feeling them. Other than that, staff was really nice and their sodas were really good too!

Healthy, flavorful and inexpensive. Can you ask for anything else when you are in the mood for seafood? Say “yes” when they ask if you want bacon on your clam chowder. Check out their amazing happy hour deals. 4/30 add on: We have always enjoyed your food and positive service staff. We were very shocked today when the ceviche was delivered with 3 pieces of shrimp. Upon bringing this to the attention of Peyton, she rolled her eyes and said “okay.” Two minutes later she delivered the rest of our food to the table. I said “Thank you” and she did not reply at all, just turned and walked away. My daughter stated “You should learn better customer service.” Peyton started arguing with her that the bad food was not her fault and she should not have to say sorry for it and that my daughter should learn manners. I used to own a restaurant and I would have never tolerated the actions I saw today from your service staff. I guess good help is hard to find. Sadly, we have removed your establishment from our “go to” list.

On the plus side, excellent customer service, very personable employees. Clean and bright facility and easy to find. I ordered the fish taco as a 'trial run' and it was very large with plenty of grilled fish (you can also get breaded and fried). There were only two couples in the place at 3:30 pm so I was surprised that I had to wait as long as I did for the one item but then, I was in no particular hurry so not a huge problem. However, if the place was busy, it might be a problem for someone having a short lunch break. I was not very impressed with the taste but then to each his own and I will probably give it another shot with the clam chowder and bacon fries (sounds like the Canadian dish, poutine). I was surprised at the cost of the burger which was $16 but didn't order so won't judge harshly but seems pretty steep for the place which didn't have a lot of ambiance (pretty standard fast food decor). As an interesting side note, they offer a lobster cheese sandwich and list all the ingredients on the menu board except the type of cheese!!!

Yum! I got takeout here and the food was ready in 15 minutes which was incredibly convenient! The lobster roll was warm and the gizzard was nice and cool! The clam chowder was average but the lobster taqueria was super crunchy and tasty! Overall enjoyed the experience and surprisingly good quality for a chain!

In-N-Out Burger is a beloved fast-food chain that has become an integral part of California's culinary scene. Known for its customizable burgers, hand-cut fries, and creamy shakes, this iconic eatery offers a taste of the Golden State's laid-back lifestyle. Visitors often rave about the 'secret menu,' which adds an element of fun to ordering.
In-N-Out never disappoints. The burgers are always fresh, the fries are crisp, and the service is consistently fast and friendly. I love that the menu is simple but customizable — Animal Style is a must! Everything tastes like it’s made with care, and you can tell they prioritize quality. It’s my go-to whenever I’m craving a classic, satisfying meal. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates a great burger done right!

I’m not sure what the hype is - maybe it was not a good location or I got a bad batch? But I regret having wasted a meal here when I could have tried so many other things as a visitor from NY. Burgers were cold and putter edges were a little on the hard side. Not very flavorful, fries were stale tasting with no salt at as well. The shake was good… Cheeseburger 6/10 Double double 7/10 Hot cocoa 7/10 too sweet Chocolate and vanilla shake (black n white) 8/10 Fries 5/10

There was plastic in the burger! 🤮 Today I had the most shocking In-N-Out experience I’ve ever had — and it was through the drive-thru. After getting back to work and taking a bite, I discovered a piece of plastic inside my burger. Unfortunately, since it was a drive-thru order, I didn’t get the chance to bring this to the staff’s attention in the moment. But this is a major food safety issue that needs to be addressed. I’ve always trusted In-N-Out for their quality, which makes this even more disappointing. It’s honestly upsetting. Imagine if someone hadn’t noticed and swallowed that—especially a child. Things like this aren’t just “accidents,” they’re signs that something went wrong in food prep or packaging that shouldn’t happen at all. I truly hope In-N-Out takes this seriously and investigates how this could have happened. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but this really shook my trust.

This was our first time visiting In-N-Out, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The service was top-notch. There were plenty of staff on hand, all working efficiently to ensure everything ran smoothly and that customers were taken care of quickly and kindly. The food was excellent—burgers were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The fries were crisp and delicious, and everything came out hot and fresh. You can tell they really focus on quality here. The restaurant itself was spotless, which added to the overall great experience. A special shout-out to Christopher, who was working the till during our visit—he was incredibly friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. His customer service was outstanding and truly memorable. Overall, In-N-Out exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be back!

Do not come here. My mom ordered a cheeseburger with grilled onions and got raw onions. On top of that, she had a long strand of hair ingrained in her top bun. Completely disgusting. Both my doctor pepper and her coke was flat and almost flavorless.

Brodard Restaurant offers modern Vietnamese cuisine with Asian-fusion twists and specialty cocktails in a stylish setting. The restaurant is renowned for its assembly line dedicated to crafting spring rolls, particularly the rice paper-wrapped perfection of a Brodard spring roll. These handheld delights feature succulent shrimp, charred beef, or tofu along with daikon, cucumber, mint, carrot, shallot, salty peanut and vermicelli.
When we arrived, the waiting line was pretty long, but when we went to check in, the hostess asked if we were interested in sitting at the bar. We said yes, and they seated us right away. It was our first time there, and the server took the time to recommend some options and gave us excellent service. The food was absolutely delicious—highly recommend, 10/10! I definitely have to go back soon. Edit: Sorry I did not take more pics before eating

The grilled rolls were good, but unfortunately, the rest of the dishes were a letdown. Not only were they overpriced, but the flavors were off—especially the egg noodle and fried egg noodle, which tasted strange. The meat didn’t seem fresh, and the beef in the garlic noodle dish was so tough and chewy, it felt more like chewy rubber than beef. Definitely not a place I’d return to.

Shaken Beef with Garlic Noodle: $26 Great overall dish, beef perfectly cook (soft, med rare), great garlic sauce but the noodle slightly overcook Grill Pork Spring Roll: $11 for 4 Great as usual Beef Stew with Baguette Super tender beef (not fell apart) great sauce and the baguette crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Great combo, wish they provide more than 2 med size baguette Luna Rice with Shrimp (appetizer) It’s ok, not a fan of the overall texture (mung bean shell).

My favorite quintessential Vietnamese restaurant! It has everything you can want- such a huge variety. My favorites are the clay pot seafood, nem nuong (of course!) and garlic noodle with shrimp. I've also had their hu tieu Kho (dry noodle), porridge, jerky papaya salad, etc. They have desserts, drinks, appetizers, etc. I haven't ever ordered anything I didn't like. Service is always quick and friendly. It's also always crowded- it's a plus that you can put your name down on the waitlist. They're known for their pork rolls. The icing on the cake is the sauce- it's magical. Best sauce ever. You can order to go for a quick fix! I honestly can never get tired of this place. Price is a bit high for some items but overall good value- hearty portions!

We heard all a lot about this place and wanted to try it. It is a very busy place and it is a very large restaurant! The place was clean and full of both Vietnamese and non Vietnamese. They had a large menu with different type of dish. However this is definitely not authentic Vietnamese food but catered more toward fusion food. Two things I didn’t like about this place. They were so busy that the service wasn’t great. It took along time before the waiter took our drink and food orders. The food don’t come out all at once as they bought each dish separately. There not everyone was able to eat at once. They are very expensive with little portions. I would rank them very low in the value department. Overall, I don’t think I would be back as I like authentic Vietnamese food as it is not for me. I categorize them as overpriced Chinese food. However it may be better suited for others.

Food is pretty legit and pretty consistent. They open early so it's great to come and grab some breakfast here before it gets super busy. We pretty much love everything, especially the nem nuong rolls, the Brodard Deluxe Broken Rice with pork chop, lotus stem salad, and more.

If you’re looking for a Vietnamese restaurant, this is the place. I ordered Nem Nướng (grilled pork spring rolls), Bún Bò Huế (noodle dish), and Bánh Khọt (savory crepes). The Nem Nướng is a must, likely the best version around, especially with its signature sweet-savory dipping sauce. All dishes were delicious and stayed true to authentic Vietnamese flavors. The restaurant itself is quite large and spacious but it does get busy. Overall, a solid experience, definitely worth the visit

A&J Restaurant is a renowned dining spot in Irvine, CA, celebrated for its authentic Taiwanese and Chinese cuisine served in a modern and unpretentious setting. The restaurant takes pride in offering a diverse menu of traditional Northern Chinese dishes, from flavorful noodle soups to delicate dim sum, all prepared with high-quality ingredients.
It was worth waiting for delicious foods, especially noodles was perfectly cooked I had to order extra noodle lol We will definitely come back again soon One problem most of customers were very loudly speaking each other’s

The overall experience was a good one. Parking is always tight in that parking lot. The fried chicken on rice was primarily dark meat. It was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The beef roll was interesting, a bit salty but good. You need the order price guide to mirror up with menu to see what each item costs. A unique way to fluctuate the prices.

Been going to A& J Restaurant since I was a kid. My favorite is their Cold Peanut Noodles and Beef Rolls. The menus include both photos of the food and a checklist of what to order (mainly in Chinese, but you can match the order number to the checklist). Note: Weekends can get busy, so you will be asked to leave when you are done dining in. Overall, a great place if you are craving Taiwanese food like Beef Noodles Soup, Noodles, Green Onion Pancake, and Beef Rolls.

The front of the plaza is always hard to find parking. The trick is to park at the back, and there is always parking available. I was there on a Sunday, and we waited about 15-20 mins to get a table. After we got seated, we felt they rushed us to place our order. They checked with us once every 30 seconds. I would say it is great customer service and I totally understand because they have a line. The prices are reasonable and not overly expensive. The food tastes authentic. I felt the dining area a bit tight, tables are very close together.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. True to Taiwanese cuisine its beef noodle soup is authentic and delicious. The braised pork belly and cucumber dishes are also amazing. Service is notably friendly too. Just beware that this is a popular spot so there can be a long line during noon and early evening.

The nastiest place I have been to so far. 0 stars. We found hair in our noodles, which the waiter then clarified that it was the beef tendon’s hair. However the way she explained it was not the kindest. She kept saying “is that right?” as if I was supposed to know? If it really was the beef tendon’s hair maybe you guys should have cleaned it properly because this is my first time seeing beef tendon hair. Second of all, this could have been solved by explaining it to us nicely or offering us something or even putting that bowl of noodle on the house. All of the other dishes were below average too in terms of taste AND presentation. Please do not come.

The beef noodle soup (szechuan style) was delicious, where it was nice and warming to the heart! The szechuan style is definitely better and what I really think of when I think if beef noodle soup, but the clear broth was also good, giving a lighter experience!

Cali Tacos is a bustling Mexican eatery known for its generous portions and relaxed atmosphere. The menu features an array of wallet-friendly options, including tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Guests can customize their orders with high-quality toppings like pico de Gallo and guacamole. Fans rave about the Supreme Burrito with Carnitas and the classic Cali Burrito, both loaded with fresh ingredients.
Came across this place on our way to Vegas and it did not disappoint! The shrimp burrito was the size of my head for only $10.99! Lots of shrimp but wasn’t dispersed evenly so I at most of the shrimp first and the rest was more rice, but I was extremely pleased. Husband had the Cali burrito, also the size of my head, which he enjoyed. Daughter had five rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese. These were amazing! None of these items were consumed in one sitting. The leftovers were a second meal. 😂 There is only person taking orders and getting the food ready for you. We took the food to go, but there is an outdoor sitting area that’s covered. Be ready to wait, good food takes time. And it’s worth it!

The Food: We ordered a Cali Burrito, a Chicken Quesadilla, and Carne Asada Fries… and wow. Everything was incredibly fresh, packed with flavor, and served in massive portions. This is the kind of food that covers lunch, dinner, and probably lunch again the next day. Every bite was loaded, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned. The Vibe: Laid-back, busy, and full of energy. The kind of local spot where everyone knows the wait is worth it. You’ll catch the smell of grilled carne asada before you even step inside, and that’s how you know you’re in the right place. The Value: Unmatched. The portion sizes for the price make this a standout. Quality, quantity, and flavor all in one. Final Word: It’s worth the wait, it’s worth the trip, and honestly… if it isn’t Cali Tacos, is it even a taco?! 🌮 #CaliTacos #OrangeEats #CarneAsadaFries #CaliBurrito #SoCalEats #WorthTheWait #LocalFavorite

Had to try their California Burrito since that’s what they’re known for, and let me tell you, it was absolutely fire. The crunch from the fries was spot on, and the salsa and sour cream were perfectly balanced, adding just the right amount of flavor without overpowering everything. The carne asada was packed with flavor, and you could really taste the marinade even through all the other ingredients, which was a huge plus. Ya gotta get it to try it for yourself. The food came out super fast, which I appreciated, but I have to say, the woman at the register wasn’t the friendliest, pretty cold and not very welcoming. It would help if they had someone more customer-focused up front, especially since I wanted to ask about other menu items but didn’t really feel comfortable doing so. That being said, the food delivered- and that’s what matters most! The inside is extremely small and has like 3 tables, but the outside seating has plenty of tables! I was also happy to see they had horchata, not homemade, but still pretty good, and getting three refills was a nice bonus. The little salsa and toppings bar was solid, and I highly recommend the verde salsa. It had the perfect kick and a nice zestiness to it. Despite the service, the food speaks for itself, and I’d come back. If you’re looking for a solid California Burrito, this place is worth a visit!

Consistently a 5/5 in terms of food quality and flavor, but the insane steady price increases over the past few years bring down to a 4.5/5. Still, I’ll round up to 5/5 in this case to support a local shop. Service tends to be slow and meh (rare to have great service, usually service is just OK) and the one line to order and pick up once ready makes it awkward and take longer than it should. Bathroom is in the courtyard have to ask for the key.

This place has a lot of customers and I can tell you that it gets crowded. It is dirty with that many people being there. The staff was friendly. We got a adobada burrito and my friend got the carnitas burrito. They were tasty and delicious. We did not get any condiments found they did not have a proper barrier to protect the food from people over it. Saw a girl sitting on the table, really! That is not the establishment fault just a girl deep in her own head. Parking is tuff, very small parking for a corner lot. Tried it now tou come and have your own experience. Let us know how it was.

Nestled on the third floor of Crystal Court Plaza at South Coast Plaza, Terrace by Mix Mix is a vibrant dining spot that beautifully marries New American tapas with Filipino influences. This plant-filled gem offers an array of thoughtfully crafted dishes, from comforting favorites like pork cheek adobo and honey pork belly pizza to delightful desserts such as the tropical verrine—a fruity panna cotta bursting with lilikoi and coconut flavors.
On January 1, 2025 we ventured out to experience a NEW restaurant, so after shopping at South Coast Plaza we popped into TERRACE by mix mix - on the top floor. Although Kenny, our server, was alone, he had us all satisfied and moved things along professionally- for all of us. Our attention quickly focused on Dianne the Sous Chef, and ordered what she was meticulously preparing- SHRIMP LUMPIA! Absolutely delicious!!!!! My husband ordered the mussels which I too couldn’t resist; they were bursting with flavor in a fabulous wine and butter sauce- loaded with tons of mussels. The presentation was awesome with a thin pizza shell over the mussels. Sooo coool My kale salad with salmon was perfectly prepared and a substantial quantity. We truly appreciated the customer service and quality food and presentation. Great job Kenny and Dianne. 5 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

We were visiting the area for just a few days and ended up eating in this fabulous restaurant twice! During our first visit, for lunch, we were looked after by the lovely Amanda, she was phenomenal and so was the food. My partner had pasta and really enjoyed it. I had the salmon. It was one of the best salmon dishes I've ever had; cooked to perfection and the sauce was insanely good. The accompanying vegetables were also absolutely amazing. It was so delicious, I had this again on the 2nd visit and my partner tried a different pasta and loved this also. This time we were looked after by Xena - again phenomenal service and food was excellent, very consistent. We got to experience the terrace this time during the evening and we also got to meet and chat with one of the chefs. The atmosphere on the terrace is lovely, especially in the evening. Everything was just perfect and would come here again. Thank you to all the team for making our visits so memorable :)

6 of us came here to celebrate birthday on a Friday night. It's located on the 3rd floor just across the bridge from South Coast Plaza. We were seated immediately at the terrace area. We truly enjoyed the pork cheek Adobo, green salad, steamed mussel sinigang, the bone marrow pizza and lumpia. The epi baguette is so good especially to soak up the mussel broth. The pasta bolognese and the Margherita pizza are average good.

The Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is a simple, straightforward ramen restaurant that offers delicious and affordable noodles in a cloudy, rich and umami pork broth. The establishment is older than most in the area, and while it may not have the best ramen compared to others in Japan, its good and simple offerings are highly recommended.
The base soup is not too greasy nor salty. Larger portions than expected. Pro/con that there are only 4 types of soups to choose from. But makes sense since most Ramen places have few variety. Their salt Ramen was good but the spicy miso tasted like Mala seasoning, which I'm not a fan of. The combo is just rice + whatever topping you choose so it's simple but it tasted great to dip the rice in the Ramen soup. Only wish is for them to have takuan as a default side menu to have a refreshing taste.

The waitress there were so mean and NOT helpful at all. I went there first time today asked what’s their popular dishes, they were cold. Also i ordered Miso soup, they gave me broth has NO ANY SALT in it, when i asked them to please give me some salt, that woman is so mean, didn't even want to give me or help me at all. I asked is their kitchen really doesn’t have any salt, she said no! And said we can give you soy sauce. I don’t like how cold her service is, seems care less about how you think or how you taste the food. If shes my employee, I’ll fire her in a second. Terrible service! Even i liked their Ramen, but i wont be back because of their unprofessional service. Wish they can have some better new waitress.

"Nothing like a bowl of good soup," I always say. I work at a ramen shop (shout out to SLR) so I feel guilty every time I eat here, but their soup is so 🔥 I can't help it. I keep it simple and go with the Shio (salt) Ramen combo with an Ikura Salmon bowl. Comes out perfect every time 👌 Pro Tip #1 Find parking in the BACK of the plaza; there's a rear entrance that gives you direct access Tip #2 Ask for "mustard" to add to your soup. It's a game changer.

Ordered a large bowl of ramen to share with my toddler. Requested the cashier to provide me with another bowl. Very simple request, but was refused flatly by the store manager (Masa). I guess it would be alright if they were apologetic about their “policy”, but they literally were about to punch me in my face when I questioned about their “one ramen one bowl” policy. Went to the udon stall (Misasa) just next to it, and the gentleman gladly handed me one without a question when I shared that the ramen stall refused to provide us with one. Thumbs up for the kindness shown by Misasa. If you’re wondering what to eat when you’re here, visit Misasa for a better experience.

Pho 101 is a modern offshoot of the famous Pho 79 in Little Saigon, serving the same legendary Vietnamese noodle soup. The restaurant has a nice and modern interior with a wide variety of menu choices. Customers can enjoy large servings of pho with abundant noodles, tendons, and beef. It's highly recommended for an authentic Vietnamese pho experience that keeps customers coming back for more.
Tried this spot for the first time today and it was absolutely adorable. My parents and I came in around noon and the place was already buzzing. The moment you walk in, that rich, comforting aroma of pho hits you. We ordered the fried chicken, special pho, goi cuon, and shrimp vermicelli salad and somehow, everything came out in just 10 minutes. Service was warm, friendly, and fast, and the food couldn't have been fresher. The fried chicken totally caught me off guard. It had the flavor and crisp of chicharon, and I'm still wondering how they pulled that off. Portions were generous too; the pho could easily feed two or three people. Honestly, one of the best Vietnamese meals I've had in a long time. Highly recommend it to anyone, anytime.

I recommend coming here if you are looking for an affordable but delicious pho! My group of five enjoyed our experience from here. Each of us has payed $11-$14 including the food we shared. The pho were tasty and very very reasonable! Im only giving four stars because the utensils seems oily but we asked them to have a new set.

My family love pho and has been visiting this restaurant for years. The restaurant was easy to get there. The restaurant was cleaned and the staff were friendly. Their pho was delicious and the size was adequate. The price was reasonable. We will definitely repeat in the future.

We’ve been to countless Vietnamese restaurants over the years, but Pho101 stands out—and for good reason. We drive 30 minutes from home, passing dozens of other spots, just to eat here. Why? One word: broth. Ok 2 words: Yummy broth. Their pho is rich, deeply flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. We ordered the beef pho with tendon and a side of oxtail—the oxtail is melt-in-your-mouth tender, but be warned: they sometimes run out, so get there early if that’s your favorite. The crispy egg rolls hit the perfect balance of crunchy and moist, while the spring rolls with pork and shrimp had incredible flavor—fresh, savory, and perfectly wrapped. We also tried the broken rice plate combo with pork chops and egg cake, and it was a satisfying, well-rounded meal on its own. Service was fast, though not especially warm—but honestly, the food does all the talking. And it speaks volumes. Pho101 is a sister restaurant to the original Pho79 in Garden Grove, which earned a Michelin star. That level of quality absolutely shows here. If you’re serious about your pho, this place is more than worth the drive.

Overall, really good. I ordered the pho, with chicken and shrimp and there was plenty of chicken and 3 shrimp….I expected more shrimp, however, that was most likely the ratio you get. $15, the medium size was plenty. I’d return. To me, not a super flavorful pho, yet, I enjoyed it. Very busy. That’s why I probably didn’t see my waiter until the end.

Ramen restaurant
Asian restaurant
Japanese restaurant
Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai in Irvine is a popular Japanese brand known for its unique twist on traditional ramen. The broth is lighter in color and flavor, while the noodles are crimped and the chashu is perfectly cooked and sliced. Their fried chicken, or karaage, is a must-try along with their home-brewed barley tea. This outpost marks the chain's first location in America, adding to its 60 existing spots in Japan.
I had just finished work in Irvine and was craving ramen, so I looked up some options. Most of the results were Hakata ramen, but I wasn’t in the mood for something so rich. Among all the choices, the one that caught my eye was this Kitakata ramen. Kitakata ramen originates from Kitakata City in Fukushima Prefecture and is known as one of Japan’s three great ramen styles (Sapporo, Kitakata, and Hakata). The soup is typically soy sauce-based, made with pork bones, dried sardines, and chicken stock, giving it a light yet flavorful taste. The noodles are thick and wavy, with a chewy texture that holds the broth well. In Kitakata, there is a culture of “morning ramen”, where many ramen shops open early in the morning. I believe this contributes to the unique style of Kitakata ramen. Being pregnant and extremely picky about food right now, this ramen was a perfect match for my cravings.The matcha cheesecake for dessert was also delicious. Finding this kind of ramen in the U.S. is rare, and as a Japanese person, I was deeply satisfied. I will definitely be coming back.

Surprisingly good and interesting twists on your usual ramen spot. It was tasty, reasonably priced and had large portions. The chicken karaage had this amazing crispy rice flour type of coating that was really good. I loved the green chili shio ramen as well. I would definitely go back.

This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants in Irvine. The clear broth and chewy noodles are absolutely fantastic. Their summer special, Hiyashi Ramen, is also refreshing and pairs perfectly with all the fresh vegetables. If I ever move back to Korea, I would seriously consider coming back to Irvine just to have this ramen again.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoyed both the started and the main course! The treatment from the waiter was good 👍🏻 and the service once inside was fast. Only issue is that they were full and made us wait for 20 minutes outside under the warm California weather. Also… for that price I would expect more food!

The service is terrible, and you still have the nerve to ask for tips. Fifteen dollars for a bowl of noodles that doesn’t even fill you up! Not even an egg! The service is awful — no greeting when you walk in, just two eyes staring at you. They serve the food without giving chopsticks, and the waiter doesn’t even speak a word. This kind of service is absolute garbage. Japanese service is total trash!

There has definitely been a change in the flavor of the soup since they opened. Despite that, we still enjoy the texture of their ramen because we love the noodles. The taste of their soup is okay, but I am obsessed with the kids menu that they offer! I was pleased with the portion of the kid's ramen and you get a side of karage (fried chicken), edamame, a side of ramen toppings, and rice with the seaweed as well. I recently went back couple of times to eat here. And the soup flavor got way better!! The soup and noodles are delious!

My friends took me here for my birthday, and overall we had a wonderful time. The chef was personable, knowledgeable, and kind. The dishes were superb honestly a little better than Hana Re and we enjoyed more than ten plates of beautifully prepared food. The reason I can’t give five stars is because as we were leaving, the chef flagged us down to ask if the service had been bad because he felt our tip was too low. I found this extremely rude and ungrateful, especially after spending $250 per person and leaving what we thought was a fair tip. It was embarrassing and uncalled for, and unfortunately it left a negative impression that outweighed an otherwise great dining experience. We will not be returning.

WOW! Best omakase sushi I have ever had! This place did not disappoint! Gino is welcoming and very efficient. He makes his own soy sauce from 6 month aged Spanish mackerel! What?!?! I left full and happy! If you love sushi and are a foodie I would highly recommend this place! Very worth the hype!

What a lovely chef, and an unbelievable meal. This was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in my entire life. The service was attentive, the food thoughtful and inspired, the atmosphere comfortable and clean. On its own, the menu was incredible. Every single plate was well-described and beautifully prepared. I may never recover. And Gino… was LOVELY. I have met many chefs, and dined in fine-dining/Michelin-quality restaurants around the world. This was a superior experience. Gino was knowledgeable, kind, and friendly in a way that is truly rare. We would have come back for the food alone, but Gino made it a memory and an experience. He also personally (and kindly) chased us down to return my purse — the food was so good that I completely forgot it. Thank you — from a couple of new Canadian transplants who felt infinitely welcomed and well-fed.

Had an incredible dinner at Omakase (a Japanese meal consisting of dishes selected by the chef) by Gino. Reservations are a must because they’re usually booked up at least 2 months in advance. Everything was amazing from the appetizers, to the sushi, sashimi, and last but not least the deserts. My pics are out of order and didn’t take a photo of all the dishes but can’t wait to come back for more.

Mark your calendars for the second Sunday of every month at 10am. This is when reservations open up for Omakase by Gino and I highly recommend you try and get in. Every course was beautifully and creatively crafted with the freshest fish and finest ingredients. Everytime I thought I had a favorite, a new dish would come out. If you are celebrating a special occasion or just want to treat yourself, this is the spot.

Step into The Pizza Press, a charming eatery that transports you back to the 1920s with its nostalgic ambiance. This unique spot specializes in custom pizzas, allowing you to craft your own culinary masterpiece or choose from their creatively named signature pies like The Chronicle and The Sun. With an emphasis on personalization, each pizza is a story waiting to be told—perfect for those who love to experiment with flavors.
First time here. Absolutely amazing pizza. 😋🤤 the ricotta cheese, fresh basil & Cut up cherry tomatoes 😚🤌💋 we added Canadian bacon to ours. The atmosphere was cute. Fun family oriented. I told my daughter I wish we had this back at home. I loved the way the pizza is pressed right in front of you as well as cooked in the oven after they hand make your pizza (also they don't weigh the cheese! 😋🧀!) The giant fed my 3 children and I. (13, 15 & 22) we had the cheese bread as well which was divine. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting. Whether to he take out to to bring the family. We did not have anything other than this pizza and cheesy bread.

Looking for a quick, customized pizza? This is your place. Located right outside the Disneyland gates, across Harbor drive. The pizza was piping hot but the crust needed a little longer bake. We were able to use forks or fold the pizza to make it work. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Possibly the best Pizza (outside of Italy?!?) I've had so far....hidden gem, close to the Anaheim Convention Center and Disney Anaheim. We had a regular sized "The Times" chicken, Rays sweet bbq drizzled on top, grape tomatoes, smoked Gouda, cilantro. And we ordered a garlic cheese bread. The crust is thin and cooked crisp to perfection, flavors are excellent. Price is reasonable for Anaheim, 17$ for the regular pizza and 11$ for the garlic bread. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. I was sad we had it on our last day in Anaheim, because I wanted to try more flavours. Just try it for yourself, you won't regret!

🍕 The Pizza Press – Anaheim (Near Disneyland) Location: Right on Harbor Blvd & Disney Way, across from the Disneyland drop-off area and main entrance. On the north side, you’ll see Grand Legacy Hotel, and The Pizza Press is right next to The Anaheim Hotel, even connected through a small indoor hallway. Parking: Turn right from Harbor Blvd into the lot — left side is for The Pizza Press, right side leads to The Anaheim Hotel parking. Super convenient! Atmosphere: Spacious interior with around 20–25 tables, and there’s also a nice outdoor patio where you can enjoy your pizza and people-watch. Great for both small and large groups. Ordering Process: Similar to Blaze Pizza or Pieology — you can build your own pizza or choose from their signature pies. One thing to note: they don’t offer a mini/single-size pizza, which might be a downside for solo eaters. Service & Food: When I visited, there were about 3–4 people ahead of me, and my pizza came out in 4–5 minutes — super fast! Staff were friendly and efficient. Pizza quality was decent to above average, and the overall experience was great — quick service, tasty pizza, and clean space. ⭐ Overall: A solid 4.5-star spot for a quick lunch or dinner near Disneyland. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving a good, fast-casual pizza! 🍕🙌

Wendy's is a fast-food burger haven that goes beyond just burgers, offering delightful sides like chili and baked potatoes. My recent experience was nothing short of impressive; I ordered a chicken sandwich through their app for quick pickup, and within five minutes, my meal was ready—complete with the requested onions and pickles. The atmosphere was calm, with only one other diner present while a few others came in to place orders. The staff exuded friendliness, making the clean restaurant feel even more welcoming.
First of all, the service here is exceptional. Everyone was professional, and they treat you with the utmost kindness and respect. I just got through into the drive thru to pick up my mobile order and was directed to pick up my food in the mobile parking spot. 30 seconds later, the food comes out and who I assume is the manager says “sorry for the wait” even though the wait was essentially nonexistent. The restrooms and eating areas are spotless and extremely modern. My meal was also super well priced for the value. I got the jr bacon meal deal for 6 bucks (DELICIOUS!!!)…. It filled me up too!!! Wonderful location and an even better crew/manager team. Thank you Wendy’s😁😁😁

Trash experience. It was 2 pm on a Saturday. Not busy. I ordered a Chicken Wrap, Frosty, and Soda. I received the Frosty and Soda and was told to go park to the side and they'll bring the rest of the food out, which I've never had to do at any fast food joint before. I sit there for 10 minutes and nothing happens. I didn't want to get out of my car to see what's going on so I go to the drive thru again, which they then gave me my order. Why was I told to park outside?? They clearly just want to have people pass through to lower their wait times to look good for management. When I got the wrap and opened it, it was a total mess. Never again.

We were treated super rude by the drive thru attendant when we asked for a few more straws because he hadn't given us enough. He shook his head like i had done something wrong and rudely handed us a handful after telling me he put them in the bag, and I told him that I knew because I had counted them and we were 3 short. Then after all that they missed a fry and gave us the wrong sauce. Didn't notice that till we were all the way back to our hotel. I would never come to this establishment again after how rude they were and they can't even get a simple order right!

I had a very disappointing experience at this Wendy’s. The employee working the drive-thru was extremely unprofessional and refused to give me her name when I asked. On top of that, as soon as the window opened, there was a very strong odor of alcohol coming from inside the restaurant — definitely not what you want to smell when you’re picking up food. I don’t usually leave reviews, but this was concerning enough that it felt worth mentioning. Management really needs to step in, because the service and environment here were completely unacceptable.

Used the app to order a chicken sandwich for ASAP pickup—food was ready in under 5 minutes, and the order was accurate with the added onions and pickles. Only one party was dining in, and a few people came in to order. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. I was pleasantly surprised to see that just ordering one chicken sandwich earned me 200 rewards points, which showed up almost instantly. That’s enough to redeem for chicken nuggets, breakfast potatoes, or a Frosty right away. Fast crediting and solid perks make the app worth using.

I try not to rag on places, but we placed a mobile order for drive-thru pickup. It said it was ready, but when we arrived, it wasn’t. We were told it would be a few minutes and asked to pull around and park. After sitting for over 15 minutes, I went inside for an update and was told it would be another 4 minutes. It wasn’t even that busy—and the staff inside made a sloth look fast. I’m not asking them to rush and sacrifice quality, but this was straight-up laziness. I’ve worked at In-N-Out during rushes, and we always kept things moving. Sure, there were waits, but not because the staff moved at a snail’s pace. Need better leadership at this location, plain and simple. If you are in a hurry ever, don’t come to this location.

The bun is felt like it was refrigerated. The burger presented was messy. The cherry coke was a mix of coke and cherry syrup, because we can see and taste the syrup at bottom, not like regular premixed cherry coke. There will be extra charge if you asked for jalapeno or chili, 4 pieces for $1.19. Also the price on the menu wasn't match with the charge, 20 cents more. The server never asked for refill, just come and give the bill. I prefer Habit or Five guys burger is much more taste and juicy. Wife hated it

I had a truly wonderful experience today. In the past, I had avoided this location due to the rude behavior of some staff members. I even chose to drive farther or skip donuts altogether because I didn’t want to return here. However, today I urgently needed to purchase 10 boxes of donuts, so I had no choice but to stop by. To my surprise, I had a grateful and heartwarming experience. When I asked about pricing, a staff member named Olive at the counter kindly explained everything to me. She went out of her way to help with things that others might have found bothersome, all with a smile and from the perspective of the customer. If more people had her mindset, customers would feel drawn to return—not just for the product, but for the experience. Her thoughtful and friendly attitude truly made my day. No matter how delicious the donuts are, a place can easily be avoided because of unfriendly service. But thanks to her kindness today, this store became a place that left me feeling happy and uplifted all day long.

"Krispy Kreme, you've done it again! Those glazed donuts are straight fire (literally, they're hot, folks!) - unbeatable, irresistible, and downright addictive. But, l've got a spooky story to share. I ordered the limited-edition Halloween donuts, but they conjured up the wrong kind instead! However, the Krispy Kreme wizards quickly cast a correction spell and hooked me up with not only the right donuts but EXTRA ones too! Moral of the story: even when Krispy Kreme makes a boo-boo, they still manage to sugarcoat it with awesome.

This is something I do regularly here because it’s the only consistent bathroom in the circle. Some young guy denied me the code and started giving me the whole spiel about how they don’t do public restrooms, only for paying customers. Told him it’s an emergency and he would just keep repeating himself. Super lame, and even though I have spent money here over the years, because of this one guy I’m mad enough to never go there again.

I’m disappointed that I signed up for the Blaze app & Blaze club. My percentage coupon wasn’t applied neither was the $5. Coupon. The large pepperoni pizza was ok but not enough red sauce. Pepperoni, red sauce & cheese is a basic pizza & should be good. The herbavore cauliflower crust pizza was a bit better. I paid &40. for so-so pizzas🍕🍕🍕😬🫤🤓🤨🥺😜

My husband and I order take out here often. But no more. At times the staff display a VERY poor attitude. There was a 50/50 chance of getting someone who will either refuse a request or act like you just asked them to sell their first born. Occasionally we got a super friendly staffer. Smiling and pleasant...but now - every time we go it's attitude, attitude, attitude. So we've decided we won't be going to this location anymore.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with this location employing the rudest employees. Tonight my husband and I were planning on getting pizza here tonight but I had to use the restroom really quickly before we ordered. An employee came around the corner and asked if we were buying anything because there’s no public restroom. He persisted and I walked away to the restroom and then had a few choice words with my husband as we decided we were no longer going to dine there. We chose pizza press instead. I wish I had the employees name but I don’t. Who harasses a guest about a bathroom trip? I understand there’s a lot of homeless in the area and stating no public restroom detours them, but I was about to be a paying customer and I now never will come back.

NORMS Restaurant is a beloved 24/7 chain coffee shop that serves up hearty portions of classic American cuisine in a relaxed, no-frills atmosphere. Nestled on E. Katella Ave near N. Tustin St., it offers ample parking for visitors. Diners can expect friendly service and an inviting old-school diner vibe, reminiscent of the 50s, which adds to its charm.
Located on E. Katella Ave near N. Tustin St. with plenty of parking. We stopped here on Saturday afternoon for a late breakfast. We were seated immediately by a friendly hostess. I had their 'Lumberjack Breakfast', which consists of 3 eggs, 3 bacon strips, 3 sausage links, hashbrowns, and 3 pancakes. I topped my pancakes with strawberries. Food tasted delicious and fresh. The service was great. Shout out to our server, Marco who was extremely attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The restaurant was clean and organized during our visit. Overall, we had a great experience at this location and will definitely return.

Classic Diner Vibes with Friendly Service. I’ve been to several Norms locations, and this was my first time at this one. The restaurant itself feels a bit outdated, but it works with the old-school diner vibe they seem to be going for. Service was a bit slow, even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy. That said, the staff was extremely friendly, and it didn’t feel like the delay was due to them personally — just unclear what the holdup was. I tried the meatloaf for the first time. It was thinner than expected and a bit too salty for my taste, but the mashed potatoes and vegetables were fresh and flavorful and really helped round out the meal. My older kids stuck with their usual breakfast orders and enjoyed them as always, and my wife loved her burger. Despite the slow start, the quality of the food and the friendly atmosphere made up for it. We’d definitely return if we’re in the area.

Mexican restaurant
Fast food restaurant
Latin American restaurant
Wahoo's Fish Tacos is a delightful casual dining spot that brings together the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine with a twist of Asian and Brazilian influences. Located in Old Towne Orange, California, this eatery has transformed many fast-food skeptics into fans of healthy, delicious meals. The menu features an array of options made from wild-caught fish, ensuring not only great taste but also quality ingredients that are good for you.
Listen, I never thought I'd be the type of person to get genuinely excited about fast food that's actually *good* for you, much less leave a review, but here we are. Wahoo's Fish Tacos in Orange Circle has officially converted our entire family from past, drive-thru degenerates into wild-caught fish evangelists. Let's talk about that fish – it's wild caught, which means it probably had a better life than most of us, swimming free in the ocean instead of being trapped in a cubicle. The difference is real, and your taste buds (and health) will thank you for making the upgrade from whatever “mystery protein” lurks in most other fast-food joints. But it's not just the food that hooked us (see what I did there?). This Orange Circle location has that perfect California vibe that makes you feel like you're on vacation even when you're just grabbing lunch between soccer practice, grocery shopping, and surfing. The atmosphere is laid-back enough that you can actually relax, but energetic enough that your kids won't get bored waiting for their food…. They can count the stickers on the wall (genius btw: let’s not put any money into decor but just stick bumper stickers everywhere… and it works!). Special shoutout to Carmen, who served us with such genuine sweetness that we're pretty sure she's also a part-time Disney princess and just naturally radiates good vibes. In a world where customer service often feels like customers are an inconvenience, Carmen made us feel like welcomed guests at her beach house. The real test? Our pickiest eater (who shall remain nameless but rhymes with "my teenager") actually *asked* to come back. That's basically a globally accepted, five-star Michelin endorsement. Wahoo's has cracked the code on making healthy food that doesn't taste like punishment. Who knew that choosing the better option could actually be the more delicious option too? Bottom line: Great fish, great vibes, great service. Carmen for employee of the month. We'll be back faster than you can say "wild-caught mahi-mahi."

I expected much better from a place I have eaten at many times. The food was mediocre at best. The grilled fish taco was bone dry and cold. The fried fish tasted like a cold chicken tender and the shrimp taco was also subpar but vastly better than the other 2 tacos. I do not recommend this place even for nostalgia. Nothing tasted fresh it was all old and under temp even off a hot table.

Wahoo's Fish Tacos in Old Towne Orange, California, is a healthy haven that hits the spot! Their menu is packed with good-for-you options that don't skimp on flavor. We love daily and weekly specials. Especially in summer 🌞 time. 2025 has been a tasty year so far:)) Such a wonderful location.... peaceful and delicious. Fish tacos and black beans original dish. But the Banzai Bowl - it's a mountain of fresh veggies and brown rice topped with grilled fish or tofu is super popular for those with any dietary issues. Their fish tacos are legendary, and the Classic is my go-to. The fish is always perfectly grilled, and the cabbage mix adds a nice crunch. Sigg the pico de Gallo & salsa station near soda fountain machine. Their drinks are top-notch too! They have a very unique ice packed chest into counter next to cash register with Mexican beers and sodas...has water, teas And other options. But the real star is the patio. It's huge, open, and surrounded by trees, like a cathedral of sunshine. There's always a nice breeze, and it's the perfect place to chill after a meal. The staff are always super friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make sure everyone feels welcome, especially people with disabilities. I've seen them help people with wheelchairs and walkers, and they always do it with a smile. I'm 1 of them:)) And the location is right in the heart of Old Towne Orange, in a beautiful plaza that's a National Landmark. You can see all kinds of historic buildings & Landmarks from the patio including Plaza ⛲ Park 🏞️ & Orange 🍊 Square ⏺️ . Chill place to be. So if you're looking for healthy, delicious food in a beautiful setting, Wahoo's Old Towne Orange 🍊 is the place to go!

Reasonably priced food. Very nice customer service and good indoor and outdoor seating. The food here was also good. Chips needed more salt, but the salsa tasted good. The Outer Reef burrito with spicy chicken was good and with Wild Fish was also good. My only complaint was that the fish was a little over cooked. Besides that, this is a good lunch/dinner restaurant with great outdoor seating!

I'd say this place is okay. I wasn't disappointed nor was I impressed with the chicken tortilla soup and fish taco. However, I know some people that would like the food here so I'll describe what I got. The chicken tortilla soup was tomato based and it was refreshing, couldn'treally taste the chicken. When I think chicken tortilla soup, I think if something more hearty which is what I would have liked to have during the cold weather. Now for the fish taco, it may have been overly breaded/fried. Or maybe it was lacking in fish. Either way, their green sauce was actually REALLY good so when I bathed my taco in it, it tasted better. Things to note: Parking is a tad bit difficult to find as you have to find one on the street. Atmosphere is good. Plenty of outdoor seating, and the servers are very nice.

My friend and I stopped by this place for a quick bite before our late evening movie at the outlets. It’s got a typical chain restaurant vibe, but the staff were friendly and accommodating, even though we were close to closing time. We ordered the cilantro lime quinoa bowl with blackened salmon and the grilled veggie California bowl. The salmon was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The hot sauce added a nice kick to both dishes. Overall, it’s a convenient option for a healthy, flavorful meal if you’re in the area! Would definitely stop by again.

I’m not one to leave negative reviews but this one definitely deserves it. After waiting over 30 minutes for our food and everyone that order after us getting their food before. Mind you the manager and another server passing by our table numerous times and just looked at us and our number but never thought about our missing food. I decided to go ask for the status on our food and the manager Adriana literally said they “FORGOT” our ticket but would get it to us immediately. I strictly told her do not bring us cold food. And what do they do? Our food wasn’t even warm to say the least. Took our food back and asked for my money back Adriana said she could not refund my tip. And sure enough she didn’t. Terrible service at this place not sure how they stay in business. I definitely do NOT recommend this place.

The reason I’m giving them a star and that shouldn’t even give them one star because it was 10:15 when I arrive to have something to eat with my son, we walked in my son sit down and I don’t know if it was the manager. The lady said we are closed, but the doors were wide open and I was already after 10. I asked why we needed to leave she said we’re not ready. We just started cooking. I said your your hours are from 10 AM and it’s a little after 10 she said no we’re not ready. I said what time would you be ready? She said it’s gonna take us 35 to 45 minutes so I walked out with my son.

This Rubio’s is in the Block which makes it a convenient place to grab a bite after going to the movies or shopping around. Their specialty is sea food and honestly I think you get more fish and shrimp for your buck by getting the Cabo Plate: Shrimp burrito and a fish taco. Their new chipotle chicken burrito though is pretty good.

Nice place. Decent tacos. Fish tacos are a bit bland. The tortillas and veggies are fresh. The lobster tacos are much better but they don't give you very much lobster meat. The flavors are great tho.

If you're on the hunt for a quick and satisfying meal, look no further than Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. This fast-food gem specializes in mouthwatering fried chicken fingers that are always hot, fresh, and juicy—no dry or overcooked pieces here! Their menu is simple yet delightful, featuring crinkle-cut fries cooked to golden perfection and delicious garlic Texas toast that complements your meal beautifully.
First stop after landing as we still don’t have a Cane’s back home. Consistent food with slower service, but still an easy meal to eat and get back to our plans.

If you're looking for a quick bite to eat and you love Chicken Fingers, this here, is your place! Just down home goodness. The chicken fingers are cooked to perfection. Hot, fresh and juicy. No dry, overcooked, old grease tasting chicken fingers here! You got nothing but goodness. That's all they sling - Chicken Fingers. If you want a chicken sandwich, they place chicken fingers on a bun. The coleslaw and garlic Texas toast is delicious, too! The fries are always cooked to a golden brown! They always use fresh fryer oil! You won't regret it! They have a little bit of both world's when it comes to their iced tea - they have sweetened and unsweetened. Both are so good! The sweetened iced tea isn't too sweet either - just like back home! Don't forget to try the Cane's dipping sauce, get several more for the road! #raisingcanes #chickenfingers

Animal Style double double burger is still decent but the quality of the fries here went downhill from what I remember back when I used to eat here everytime I visited California from Canada. The fries were like cardboard texture, very hollow and bland with no crisp whatsoever. I recommend skipping the fries if you plan on eating here.

This is the first In-N-Out I’ve been to that had someone actively wiping down tables and when we sat down he asked what our number was (as well as tables around us) and brought us our food! Thanks Ethan! I don’t mind standing there and getting my food, but it was super unexpected and nice of him to bring everyone’s food to them. He also memorized everyone’s number after hearing it once. When ordering the machine didn’t work and the girl had to put my order in again on the computer terminal next to hers which was a little annoying, but oh well. It wasn’t super busy so it was okay. Our food came pretty quickly and it was fresh and hot like In-N-Out is known for. The kids loved their grilled cheeses, fries and the Neapolitan shake we shared.

If you are in a rush, do drive thru even if the line looks crazy long. They move through quickly. We made the mistake of going inside, and they go through those orders much slower. Not sure how they designate crew to which line. They have a lot of staff working the expo line, and the food is always solid. Staff is courteous and care about how their dining room is clean. I stood there for maybe 20 mins for my order and saw manager in expo that was working register to go clean the room and ask each dine-in customer how their food was. You would not see that at other fast food joints ever.

I’ve always enjoyed In-N-Out in the past, but unfortunately this visit left me very disappointed. The issue wasn’t just that my order came out wrong — mistakes can happen anywhere — but how the situation was handled afterward. When I pointed out the mistake, I expected a quick resolution. Instead, I ended up standing and waiting for more than 20 minutes, feeling ignored the entire time. It wasn’t until I became visibly upset that the staff even addressed it. At that point, the line cook hurriedly made the replacement, but in doing so pressed down on both the patty and the bun. The result was a dry piece of meat paired with a bun that had been squashed, over-toasted, and burnt. By the time I finally received the corrected burger, the rest of my food had gone cold. To make matters worse, the replacement burger not only looked unappetizing but tasted like cardboard. This particular meal was meant for my son, and while he tried to eat it, he only managed half before giving up and tossing the rest — which says a lot, since he usually enjoys his meals here. I understand mistakes happen, but what makes the difference is how quickly and properly they’re fixed. Unfortunately, this experience showed a lack of urgency, care, and attention to detail. In-N-Out usually sets the standard for quality and service, but this visit fell far short of what I’ve come to expect.

I recently visited this place to celebrate a friend's birthday, and we had a great time! We ordered two pizzas, which were delicious—perfectly cooked with fresh toppings and great flavor. We also tried their Diamond Knots, which were a hit with everyone at the table. As a special surprise, the staff brought out some warm cinnamon knots for the birthday celebration, which was a really nice touch and added to the festive vibe. The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. They also had a few games available, which kept us entertained while we waited for the food and added a fun, casual element to the evening. It’s always nice to find a place that combines good food with a relaxed, friendly environment. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout our visit, and the service was solid.

I will never be back to this location. 3rd time this has happened. I order a meatball sub and garlic knots for pick up. I showed up 35 minutes later, 5 min after it was supposed to be ready, "We're still working on the sandwich, give us 10 or 15 minutes." 20 minutes later, 55 minutes total, I finally get my food. I live right down the street, and my garlic knots are barely lukewarm and my sandwich is barely warm. It does not take 55 minutes to make a meatball sub and garlic knots. And frankly, for $16 with no side the sub should be bigger.

Usually very happy with Zito's as I do enjoy their pizza. Last night, after trying multiple times to place an order on the website which would not go through for some stupid reason, I phoned in an order to my local Zito's. I asked for a 'half and half' large pizza and come to find out upon delivery that they left off the topping I wanted on one half. Figured it wasn't worth pursuing at that point but the person that requested the pepperoni half was VERY disappointed. Also, the price quote that they give you online was different than what they charged when I called in the order. What's up with that?

Hot dog restaurant
If you're in the mood for a delicious hot dog experience, look no further than Pacific Coast Hot Dogs. This charming little stand is perfect for grabbing a quick bite, with outdoor seating that invites you to enjoy your meal al fresco. The friendly staff serve up an array of tasty options, including unique combinations like the Chicago dog and Tijuana dog, alongside classic sides such as chili cheese fries. Their menu also features delightful treats like Oreo milkshakes and refreshing floats.
Saw a bunch of people at this hot dog stand and had to give it a try! This small stand offers outdoor seating and takeaway. The tables were clean and the inside stand looks tidy. The service is very friendly and done with a smile. The food came out quickly and hot! They have many fun combos so we tried three. The sauerkraut, the Chicago dog and the Tijuana dog. We also had chili cheese fries and bacon jalapeños as our sides and washed everything down with a Dr Pepper float and banana, chocolate shake. Everything was super tasty, especially the Tijuana dog. I see why it’s a fan favorite! I am seriously gonna dream about the soft buns for a while! All in all a great lunch spot and I’d come again!

Great hot dog stand across from In n Out burger. What an amazing treat. I loved their Chicago Dog, with hot peppers, pickle slice, and tomato. French Fries were tasty and lightly salted. Thin fries, but a nice order size. I'll definitely go back and try the chili dog next

First time at pacific coast hot dogs 🌭 and most likely my last. Ordered 2 chili cheese dogs and a chili cheese fries Waited about 10 minutes or so. Got my food and the chili was cold ( not cold but warm ) expected them to be hot, especially after I had to wait 10 minutes to get them anyway the chili was cold and not a good tasting chili ( kinda taste like a water down Hormel chili ) the hot dog also was not that good cheap quality and Tasted like they just boiled it in water. the chili fries same problem it had their chili on them. I did like that. The fries were skinny and they were hot because he did just make them. But the cheap chili and cheap cheese ruin the chili fries. I did like the outdoor seating area and the way the building looked. Just wish the food would’ve been better.

This hot dog stand is one of those spots where you always pass by when you are in the area and if you are not a local like me, just always curious and never visit! Well it’s been at least 2-3 years and on Wednesday was the day! I had a meeting in the area and needed to grab a bite to eat before my meeting. Should I go to Carls or Pacific Coast? PCHot Dogs definitely brings you back the 90s and simply love the nostalgia feeling. This spot has 8 different hot dog styles, classic fries with chili or cheese or both. So many different milk shakes and honestly felt guilty not taking my kids to enjoy a Thrifty Ice Cream. I am that type that orders a bunch of stuff and takes it home for the kids and hubby to enjoy. I got their chili cheese dog, bbq bacon dog and Tijuana dog. To me, bbq bacon dog was the ugliest looking hot dog but omg, it tasted sooooo good. Topped with a pickle spear was perfection. Instantly fell in love. The other dogs were delicious but that bbq bacon dog simply put me under a spell. Love how their hot dogs have a snap. The owner gave me a crispy taco to try and honestly that took me by surprise. It was a crunchy simple taco that hit the spot! Keep this hot dog stand alive everyone. It needs to stay here forever or least until I die. So 40 more years!

IG/TT @waitfoodfirst Pch hot dogs in orange is the spot to go if you’re looking for a glizzy that’s simple, delicious, and affordable. My favorite is the Tijuana dog. It’s a bacon wrapped hot dog topped with grilled onions, jalepenos, fresh tomato and only costs $6.50. They’ve also got insane chili cheese fries. They’re thin cut, crispy, and perfect for $5.75.

I’d say this place is pretty iconic. It’s been around for a long time and my “go to” when i want a chili cheese dog or chili cheese fries!! They have a small but mighty menu. I eventually would like to order other hotdogs (like the Tijuana) but I’m a creature of habit. Portions are big. Price is decent. Service is always friendly!

Hot dogs anyone?? Highlights of the menu: 1. Chicago dog 2. Chili cheese dog 3. New York dog 4. Oreo milkshake Nothing can beat a good hot dog after a long day at work. Just want to have a quick yet yummy dinner and this is the best choice for today. Their hot dogs are just out of the oven with some crunchy pickles (I don’t love all kinds of pickles but they have the type I like) and the sauces! So good!! Also, this is a small store with outdoor seatings. With the sun still up, I feel so fun to eat differently today.

They brought back the ice cream. I like that! And, now they have tacos too. Just one kind. Ground beef. It was good. Fresh made to order French fries. Get chilie cheese on it! Its an outdoor hotdog stand on the street. with some limited shaded seating. Pretty Iconic, I guess.

Branch of a counter-serve Italian joint since 1963 featuring pizzas, pastas & sandwiches.
I've been a customer since 1968 at the original Cortinas in Anaheim. The one in Orange is just as good but a smaller menu so if your craving a good sandwich the Cortinas special (pictured) you cant go wrong. The one in Anaheim has a full service deli plus Italian food their lasagna can't be beat I grew just around the corner never had a bad meal I live in the IE now and still make the trip just to eat there. If you go at lunch time be prepared to wait but it's worth it.

Tried the 6” meatball sub, and it did not disappoint. The baguette was perfectly crisp outside, soft inside, holding up well to the rich marinara and melted mozzarella. The meatballs were tender, flavorful, and packed with classic Italian seasoning. Paired with a bag of Maui onion chips, it was a simple yet satisfying meal. Cortina’s nails quality, from the food to the efficient service. Whether grabbing a quick bite or stocking up at the Italian market, it’s a go-to spot.

My spouse Sicilian and said the Italian sub from the connected pizza and sandwich light lunches was the best she has tasted in OC since moving here 2 years ago. The Deli had a nice supply of deli meats and pasta. It was busy and vibe was friendly and seemed like a local hang out too. Good sign. We live in SOC but worth the drive

Unfortunate experience at Cortina’s: I was excited to try this place because it was well reviewed but after waiting 30 minutes for a 6” sandwich, I had to cancel my order to get back to the office for a meeting. When I went to the counter to cancel they said “oh, here is your order” which I could immediately tell was prepared wrong. I got my refund and left without having lunch today :( Wouldn’t recommend coming here unless you’ve set aside over an hour for lunch.

If you find yourself near Firestone, make sure to stop by Valentino's Pizza for a delightful culinary experience. This charming spot offers an impressive selection of pizzas, and their Bianca white pizza is a standout. With its rich sauce and perfectly crunchy crust topped with generous ricotta cheese, it's hard not to indulge in every bite! The prices are quite reasonable too; an XL pizza with two toppings comes at a great value compared to other places.
I had to try this place while I was getting my car repaired next door at Firestone. This was a pleasant surprise. I'm a big fan of white pizzas, and the Bianca from Valentino's is one of the most flavorful pies I've had in a while. The sauce was flavorful and the crust had the perfect amount of crunch. It also had a very generous helping of ricotta cheese. It was so good that I had to tell myself to stop eating it so I'd have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Their attention to quality, detail, and flavor is a testament to their longevity here in Orange. This is an extremely underrated spot and a must-go if you're looking for flavorful pizzas. Also, the manager and everyone else are super nice and they're working on refreshing the restaurant. I'm looking forward to the next time I'm in this area for work so I can try their other offerings like their baked wings or lasagna!

The service needs to be improved as I've been calling the restaurant for over 40 minutes and no was answering and when I went over to see why, I found the workers just fooling around. When I asked why no one answered, they told me the kitchen was closed and they could take any orders even though I called way before they closed, and they refused to take my order. They should have the decency to answer the phone and say they are not taking orders instead of just letting the phone ring and fooling around. I hope management can see this as this is not right. I went on the 22 of May 2025 in the afternoon for management can know who was working at the time.

The food is great, but the customer service really needs improvement. Every time I order over the phone or visit in person, the staff seems upset and annoyed—especially when I ask questions. It makes the experience uncomfortable. Please work on providing better service to match the quality of the food.

I hope the owner is reading this. I really hope the man that took my order was not the owner either ☹️ First off, whoever answered the phone to take my order, kept saying “anything else” like a broken record as if he was annoyed I even called to order. I ordered wings and he didn’t ask what flavor. I know I should’ve asked myself but he took it upon himself to make me what ever he felt like making. He blamed his behavior on him being tired, yea me too. I worked all morning, just like you did and rushed across town to watch my kid play from 3-9pm and hear me out, I know you probably don’t care Mr. Valentino, but you should. Why? because I care about supporting our local mom and pops businesses like yours. We even recommended you to my neighbor last night. So I say this to the old guy that helped me tonight, I hope you get some sleep and I hope you don’t lose another local family trying to support. I didn’t mind paying $40 for a large pizza and wings until tonight. Sincerely, Not a fan anymore

We've been patronizing Valentino's for years. (at least $3,000 a year) One bad experience last week and we're never going back. Our spaghetti with meat sauce order had 2 tablespoons of sauce. I asked for more sauce and was told they would have to charge me... I asked why they were willing to lose a customer over a few tablespoons of sauce and one of the employees (Edgar?) told me as I was leaving it was because they would have to heat some up... I guess their customer service has changed... I paid $66.00 for the order and even gave them a tip on a pick-up order. silly

Snooze is a funky and trendy A.M. Eatery that serves up breakfast items such as corned beef hash and amazing lattes. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing after a long day, and the menu includes items not found at most establishments. It's a great option for those who want to experience something new in the morning without breaking the bank.
The food was amazing!!! Definitely coming back for the food, yet our drinks were too much…. I had to mix them with water. Its hard to explain. I don’t think i got the right drink.?. As i order the green drink, got a pink one. My son really love his hamburger!! The hash browns were amazing! They have spicy sauce that is amazing mango! Our server was friendly and polite and fast. We got outside seating as we had our dog. The day was amazing and perfect for outside seating! Definitely coming back and recommend!

I’m a big fan of breakfast restaurants and this is a favorite. It’s located just off of the Orange Circle in Old Town Orange. There are plenty of fun shops to browse through in the area. This is a very popular restaurant, I suggest arriving early so you won’t have a wait. The food is excellent, my favorite is the pancake trio, for people like me that want to try them all! They have seasonal pancake flavors so you will need to visit seasonally to try them all. The coffee is good, the sweet potato hash is a favorite and the Eggs Benedict is an excellent option is you want savory. I have never had a bad experience. Staff is constantly good as well as the food. I prefer to park in the structure on Lemon St. (3 hours free parking).

This was a great breakfast place. I ordered regular breakfast. The hash browns were amazing. I definitely preferred the sausage over the bacon but the bacon was still good. Coffee was also good. My husband got the shrimp and grits and really liked it. Menu had a lot of other good stuff we will be back to try.

I drive for a fleet service company. My experience this weekend was unpleasant. As I picked up an order including drinks I noticed the cup holder was cut in half. We informed the person handing out the orders tray was not strong enough and drinks will eventually spill. He kept cleaning his work area and just said, ok. As I grabbed the tray one of the drinks fell and spilled then I asked if the tray could be replaced and I was given another half tray where I ended up putting the drinks myself. The person at the pick up area walked away and kept cleaning his area. We reported this incident to our fleet service provider. Drivers are also your customers serving your outside customers. We expect to be treated with respect and follow our fleet service guidelines. I ended up blocking this location while our fleet service conducts an investigation and reach out to Snooze management to discuss this unprofessional behavior.

The scrambled eggs were super under cooked. The bacon was candied to the point I couldn't taste the bacon anymore. The pancake was good, and the hash browns were cooked perfectly. I wanted a pancake meal, but they didn't have that, the waitress suggested the egg, bacon, hash browns, and toast meal, and we subbed the toast for a pancake. That raised the price of the meal by 5 bucks, which the waitress failed to mention. Not a huge deal but I only had 30 dollars in cash when I went so didn't have much money left over to tip appropriately.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dining experience, look no further than Eat Fantastic. This charming spot in Tustin offers an enticing menu featuring burgers, sandwiches, and all-day breakfast options served in a fast-food style with the convenience of a drive-thru and patio seating. After hearing rave reviews about this hidden gem, I decided to try their regular cheeseburger combo. Following the staff's suggestion, I added avocado for that extra creamy touch—definitely worth it!
I love a good pancake. That being said, we all know there are few places that make a great pancake, with just the right amount of fluff, substance, sweetness, and that little crusty bit around the outer edge. Eat Fantastic is truly somewhere to Eat something Fantastic. The pancakes were second to none. My Go-To favorite breakfast restaurant, regardless of the time of day. Thank you for serving up food that I look forward to.

During my travels on Main Street, I had always seen this place and wanted to stop in. Well after a concert in the park, I finally had the opportunity! When I walked in, the place was beautiful; clean, well-lit and a TV with sports on. But a bad sign was there was just one couple dining at 8pm on a Wed! So I gazed the menu for something that would tickle my fancy, and when nothing did, I asked the girl waiting on me what was the most popular burger for her customers: she responded with THE GOAT! So I order that and a soda --- $14+ bucks The meat was high quality, but the overall taste was compounded by mustard and pickles SOLELY! No lettuce, no tomato and the bun was pedestrian! I was so excited to eat there since they said they were established in 1979 --- when I was a 10th grader! But you need more than nostalgia! If I do come back it won't be for this so- called goat . . . be I highly doubt it! Tell me if this burger is appealing and/or deserving of a 10 dollar plus price!?

You gotta try their smashed style burgers or breakfast burritos. Best bacon I've had...thick and crispy perfection. Excellent food here. This place will easily be a local favorite. Oddly, there is a jukebox and photo booth kiosk on the wall near the register. Was surprised to see one in a restaurant like this. Oh yeah, don't forget about the "secret menu"

This place has great burgers that I love coming here for but their menu is too limited. They serve salads but don’t have a side salad on their menu. I don’t usually eat french fries so I would much rather get a salad with my burger but they don’t offer it, it’s like, you have the stuff just make a smaller salad. The employees are nice but seem get orders wrong easily. Other than that, this place is great.

This is a great place for a quick and bite, decent, bite. The burgers are comparable to a smashburger, but I think there is a less greasy take on this one. The burger had a good seasoning on the meat. The tomato, lettuce, and avocado were all fresh and crisp. The side of onion rings were seasoned well, not greasy, and a good portion. It's definitely a place to eat at again. I've seen them around but never stopped by one. This place was recently remodeled and looks great. The service is great and employees were all very hospitable.

Taqueria HOY! is a local chain of Mexican restaurants that are family-owned. They specialize in low-key, traditional Mexican cuisine, with a focus on tacos and burritos. One popular item to try here is their tacos de lengua, as they are not commonly found in other taco places. This makes it a go-to spot for coworkers who like to dine out after work, especially because the restaurant is open 24/7.
Absolutely delightful family-owned, taqueria chain! We were looking for an authentic taqueria that was open 24 hours and we found it! We started with chorizo and egg burritos that are offered in the morning. And we grabbed two carne asada burritos for our hike in the mountains. The staff were incredibly accommodating. 😁

This Mexican restaurant is a decent option, especially considering its 24-hour availability. It's perfect for grabbing a late-night bite after leaving the bars or attending a late event. However, the food could use improvement as the meats were lacking seasoning and overly oily but they give great portions. The limited menu options were a downside. On the bright side, the restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and offers ample seating and parking. Overall, it's a good choice but not the best.

What I got: wet burrito with only green salsa and mostly rice. I’m not driving back to Taqueria Hoy for no damn $14.55 cent burrito. Lastly the meat is like chicharrón? It’s hard and like shredded to tiny pieces? Hardly any meat tbh. Just do better mis girl and kitchen peoples too man.

If you're on the hunt for a delicious burger spot that caters to students, look no further than Hercules Burgers! This gem offers fantastic student combos—just show your ID and enjoy a satisfying meal for an unbeatable price. While the menu prices can sometimes be inconsistent, it's best to inquire directly.

Honestly, the best place to eat if you're a student or just want some good burgers! They offer student combos. It's not on the menu, you gotta ask and show your student id, and it's only 5 to 10 bucks for a burger and fries! (I haven't been there in a week or two, I'll update my review when I get the price) And the staff are really friendly. But mainly there is an issue about the menu's prices not being accurate time to time but again its best to ask and not expect and old price to be honored.

Food is good, no issue there. Really the big problem here is that there are no prices anywhere on the menu. You are ordering blindly and you are left to be asking for prices on everything. Essentially you're ordering blindly. Then your receipt doesn't break down prices, only the total. To that, add a surcharge for using a card to pay. Just not a good business practice, specially at a restaurant. MANAGEMENT: i don't believe anyone will read this but please invest on some new menu with pricing. Be upfront and we will have no issues.

I like the burgers, so I deal with the service. The service is fine as far as taking your order and bringing out your food. Issue is no one is friendly. They never look at you when they take your money or give you change. They literally drop your change on the counter while they intentionally turn away from you. They don't say thank you. They don't smile. You don't get that welcome feeling you expect from a small business. Someone trained them to say "welcome" when you walk in the door, but it ends there. When there aren't customers at the counter, they will smile and laugh with each other behind the counter but no smiles for customers.

The food is great, service is phenomenal but the inside of Hercules is not too desirable. Tables and chairs and booths need a bit of a facelift including outside patio decor and the sign itself. The bathrooms are even worse, they need total remodel!! I wouldn't take those negativities as something to pass up Hercules though!

WaBa Grill is a delightful counter-service café that specializes in delicious teriyaki bowls featuring chicken, steak, shrimp, and an array of fresh vegetables. Nestled in a quaint shopping area near residential complexes, this hidden gem is easily accessible from the freeway. On a recent rainy Thursday evening, I stumbled upon this spot and was pleasantly surprised by the quick service and generous portions of both the chicken and steak bowls.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience at the Orange location today! Liz helped me, and she was absolutely amazing. She was very nice, extremely helpful, and had such a positive attitude—it’s rare to find someone like her. I truly believe this business is very fortunate to have her on their team. She made me feel so welcomed from the moment I walked in. I was running late today and rushing, didn’t have time to pack my lunch, so I stopped by here—and I’m so glad I did. Liz not only took great care of me but even recommended the Marshmallow Rice Krispie treat they had up front (which I can’t wait to come back and try!). This visit completely turned my day around, and I’m so thankful for the service. I will definitely be coming back. Thanks again, Liz—you’re amazing!

So it was a rainy day and a last minute decision to get chicken and rice. This place is in a super small shopping area that only has a few places and it sits by itself across from apartments or townhomes. Is off the freeway so pretty accessible but didn’t even know about this location. It wasn’t busy on a Thursday evening around 6 pm. I got in, ordered and received the food pretty quick. The chicken bowl and steak bowls were good and the serving portions were fine. You do have to pack your own carrots, sauce, and utensils yourself even to go orders. The staff wasn’t too friendly and they don’t offer information until you ask a question. They could clean more, especially since they’re not busy, especially during the wet floor from the rain. It was a bit slippery.

Their positive attitude, warm smiles, and willingness to assist at all times truly make a difference. It is always a pleasure interacting with them, and their dedication does not go unnoticed. Please extend my gratitude to them for their excellent work. Thank you guys…

Chives station with carrot and jalapeno option makes this place kinda desirable to visit. You can also get as much teriyaki sauce as you want, the place is clean and usually there's some in space available.. free water cup and I like the marshmellow bar they have available at this location.

What I’ve noticed it’s a lack of respect and communication between the “Manager” and (some) employees. I guess there was a new person under training making the wait impossible to bare with it making the new employee more nervous but the manager has a very poor sense of responsibility and proper management skills I saw him belittling the employee and making the rest of the customers as well as myself very uncomfortable.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is a go-to casual dining spot for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine. Known for its customizable burritos, tacos, and bowls, this restaurant has become a beloved favorite among locals. Many patrons have fond memories of enjoying chips and guacamole with friends, creating lasting connections over tasty meals. The atmosphere is always welcoming thanks to the friendly staff who work seamlessly together to ensure that your experience is smooth and enjoyable.
This Chipotle is one of the best-run locations I’ve been to. The line always moves smoothly, and the staff works really well together. Whenever Liliana and David are serving, the customer service stands out they’re attentive and make the experience feel easy and welcoming.

Ordered online pickup thinking it would be fast after picking up dog post surgery from vet. Waited over 30 minutes for pick up Order. Could have gone through regular line 3 times. Many customers waiting for pick up. Order with pick up time later than those waiting was made before. Manager clearly can't mange jack and should be fired immediately.

Horrible experience! Talk about disgusting filth! Wife and I went in for dinner. 6:40pm 03/01/2025. Being that I was focused on the menu, I honestly did not look at the place till we waited for our order and my wife went to the restroom to wash her hands. The trash cans were overflowing, the floors were dirty, tables were filthy. My wife comes back from the restroom and said it was absolutely disgusting and the floors were full of urine! All while one employee just stood behind the counter doing NOTHING! Not sure if its his job to keep an eye over the shoulder of the cashier but that all he did! The only time he moved was to get on his cell phone. Is it possible that at this time and on a Sunday there are just no managers? This will be the one and only time I step into this CHIPOTLE!

Well can't go wrong with this area.. I have been going here since High school, ever since an old friend who always brought chips and guac almost on a daily basis and shared a bit... who am I kidding I almost ate them all... But yeah, I was hooked and till this day I go at least twice a month. Highly recommended this place, the staff is friendly and the food is good. They don't offer a lot of variety but they focus on what they do right.

This location is so dirty. This place need to be remodeled badly. Bathrooms, stink, and look horrible paint is dingy and extremely dirty like nobody scrubs anything. Back of the chairs are black from dirty hands and grease tables are barely holding on. The food is decent, but I’d much rather go to the Anaheim location than this location. If I have the time it grosses me out to eat here, but I do out of necessity sometimes. The music is so extremely loud you cannot have a conversation with anybody even sitting right next to you. It’s a little obnoxious.

Be warned they start closing everything down really early at the is location. Not even 9:30pm and they are out of corn and refused to get anymore and told me you are just out it luck. I would advise the managerment to adjust their closing time early if they don't want to keep things in stock till closing.

The manager on at the time was I believe Liliana amazing customer service and very great at her job. Got my 1 yr old steak and she asked if it was for my son as she was in the cashier position I told her yes and she suggested the chicken or carnitas instead because the steak was a little spicy so we got him chicken instead. thanks Liliana for making our visit an enjoyable one.

Patagonia Empanadas is a cozy eatery that serves delicious Argentine pastries and deli-style sandwiches. Located conveniently close to home, it has become a go-to spot for empanadas. The fillings are generous, with options like chipotle beef, chipotle pork, spicy beef, and regular beef. Complementing the empanadas is the flavorful chimichurri sauce that takes them to the next level.
This is the real deal! The most authentic Argentinian food experience in the OC, I highly recommend! With regards to the service, a few reviews complain about it and I have to say that while the atmosphere is very authentic and friendly, the person at the counter taking our order was far from nice (clearly working with customers is not her thing) but don't let that prevent you from giving this place a chance, you won't regret it!

The food here is pretty good, the atmosphere is average (it's a small shop with not much interior decor). However, I think that most people come here for the food, not the decor. The empanadas are pretty decent here. I recommend the hot sandwiches as well as the entrana steak chimichurri dish. Also, there's a wide selection of desserts here as it's also a bakery. Cheers.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful bagel experience, look no further than "Bagel Me!" This charming spot offers an impressive selection of bagels that can be enjoyed plain or transformed into scrumptious sandwiches and melts. Beyond their signature bagels, they also serve up juicy burgers and refreshing smoothies, making it a versatile dining destination. The bakery prides itself on cleanliness and quality, with skilled bakers crafting each bagel using only the finest ingredients.
This is the third time that I have ordered your French toast. I ordered four slices of bacon with it as usual. and I think it was time to tell everybody how absolutely delicious it is. it’s interesting to use a bagel and it’s fantastic. I can’t eat it all at one sitting because their bagels are so big and it reheats beautifully. their applewood bacon is the best ever. they cook it perfectly it’s crispy delicious and it’s almost a foot-long per piece! i’m going to continue to order this every Sunday for breakfast. I have found another thing that I absolutely love that is their avocado toast on a Multi grain bagel with four strips of their incredible! I love this place! I am adding to my review today after ordering avocado toast 15 times! it is absolutely delicious. They give you lots of avocado with lemon pepper and I order four pieces of the best bacon I’ve ever tasted .

I usually order the Ham & Cheese omelette for breakfast when I go here. This one had added avocado fyi. They are pretty solid for a bagel place that makes other things. Kinda dig their breakfast potatoes, nothing terribly special, probably from a frozen mass produced bag, but works for me. If you have a need for an omelette and don’t want to over pay at Kimmies, or get to hipster with Snooze, give em a shot.

VERY DISAPPOINTED ): I had high expectations for this cute little bagel shop.. I ordered an everything cheese bagel with cream cheese and added avocado on top.. I wanted to add lemon pepper to add flavor to my avocado BUT it would have been 4$ MORE just for SEASONING! when I received my order I was presented with bruised/not fresh avocado AND they put my order on the incorrect bagel.. I had them remake my order but the workers were not happy to make things right which FURTHERED my disappointment with this place. NEVER will I return. Because CASSIDYS CORNER has WAY better bagels and right prices for what you get served! Check them out.

I like this place. And is my go to place for breakfast if I didn't get a chance to have breakfast at home. But I'm quite disappointed at how thin the lox is cut and for 18.00. It's not worth it. It's so thin you see through it and the capers and cream cheese.

I've not been in a Quiznos for years, because there are so few around anymore, and none where I normally am, so was eager to go there on my way home from an appointment. They did not disappoint, though I wish they put more bacon on the Honey Bacon Club like they used to, but everyone is cutting everything back it seems. The HBC is still my favorite! Quiznos is still the best sub I've ever had, and that includes virtually all of there competition in SoCal, at least.

Great experience I went in, 4 people in front of me, about 25 behind me. Only 1 worker. Ricardo! This guy was a magician at taking orders, making the food and checking out.... constantly smiling and upbeat. Thus was a stressful hour for Ricardo and he mastered it. He acts like a boss that is very engaged in his busines. Sadly I do not get the impression he has any ownership. Ricardo, if you ever lose this job, come work for me. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

The worst Quiznos I've ever been to. If you come on a Saturday there is always just one guy working by himself, so it takes foreeeeever. I've come on weekdays too and it seems like the employees have no idea what's going on. I'm in line right now and the cashier is literally on his phone texting or something while two people are waiting to pay. There were only 2 people in line in front of me and I've been here for 15 min. Sloooow service and employees are in desperate need of training / management

I had a sandwich there. It was a lousy sandwich. The bread was toasted and was okay. The meatballs were horrible and the sauce was nasty. It is located in a tiny strip mall with hardly any parking. There are other places to park, but those all charge for parking. The sandwiches all cost $8.00 at least for a large. It isn't worth the price or the hassle.

Paul's Place is a laid-back fast-food haven that offers an enticing mix of burgers, sandwiches, and even some delightful Mexican and Greek dishes. During a recent food run for work, I was impressed by how efficiently they managed multiple orders—everything was prepared quickly and neatly bagged for easy transport. The journey back took about 15 minutes, yet the food arrived hot and fresh; the tomatoes on my sandwich were particularly vibrant and bursting with flavor.
Great place to eat and hangout. We went during dinner and we had a regular cheeseburger and steak sandwich. Also, we had the fried mushroom. They were all fantastic and delicious. Service was great and the place was clean and taken care of. I like the fact it played great music. We will come again

The Hungry Paul is a true classic American breakfast that really lives up to its name. You get 3 eggs (any style), 3 fluffy hotcakes, and your choice of 3 strips of crispy bacon or sausage. The pancakes are soft and buttery, perfect with syrup, while the eggs and bacon balance it out with that savory kick. Generous portion, great value, and guaranteed to keep you full for hours. A must-try if you’re hungry in the morning!

Went on a food run for work and had a great experience. They quickly handled the separate orders with no fuss, the food was made quickly and bagged per order to make my life easier. The food was delicious and traveled well. My work was approximately 15 minutes away and nothing was soggy or cold upon arrival. The tomatoes on my sandwich were the reddest and most flavorful I have had in a long time. The food was affordable and great tasting. Would recommend.

Customer service is trash, they don’t like to give more than one condiment even if you order 3 combos. I placed a mobile order (2 big cheeseburgers) and when I got home we discovered they were protein style. I went back and let them know and there was no apology, she took my order over the window and kept asking if I wanted it with buns. I don’t know what other way unless specified “protein style”. She came back with my order and one had no cheese, she then asks can I give it to you on the side? I told her no and if she can put it in the burger and she went back to the kitchen saying don’t hate me along with complaining that I wanted the cheese I drove back for in my CHEESEBURGER? With $10+ combos? Absolutely not. I couldn’t comprehend how insanely rude and stupid the entire interaction was. I said nothing, showed her I was speechless. CARLA JR DO BETTER

Terrible customer service. I asked to exchange an overcooked pretzel that was hard and dry (unlike one purchased last week) and because I had eaten part of it, staff was unwilling to make a fresh one. When I asked if they had others, I was told business was slow and they weren't going to make any more. What if a customer walked in an ordered one? The lady acted as if she was going to have to pay to give me another one. Really sad. Attitude was rude and not at all concerned about my experience. Not going back. Do not recommend!!!

Ok so I have been to a few other locations and never have I received bitz that looked like this. They sure don't look like the website photo either. Is your store lazy and didn't feel like rolling them out and cutting them in their normal standard shape? The were way too big. Not enough cinnamon and sugar. Blah, blah blah and blah. Both the plain and sweet versions looked like a two year old made them. I won't be back. Thank you for ruining what was going to be a great desert.

The food is good, like any Wetzel location, but the service is lacking. They had no full dogs available and we asked how long until there'd be some ready and we were told 15 minutes. So we let her know we'd just come back in ~15 minutes and order the dogs. Come back roughly 18 minutes later and there's still no dogs. She THEN told me they were made-to-order and we'd have to order and then wait 15 minutes. Wetzel's isn't a sit down restaurant so I am not ordering and then waiting around for my food. Any good location has at least one of each menu item ready to go, even the less popular ones. I think this is the first time I've actually had this at any Wetzel's location before.

I will NEVER EVER EVER go back to this location (which is the one at the Orange Outlets [I hope this is the right location!]!! These pretzels SUCK!! I’m disabled and hard EVER get out, but we had take someone to the airport and on our way back, we decided to stop at the mall and I wanted to get some pretzels for our guests and myself. The line was long and outside the door. I went in and ordered a large order (4 cinnamon surgar pretzels and a large strawberry lemonades). Because the guests were ready to get to my place after traveling so long, we waited to eat the pretzels when we got back to my place, which was a fiften minute drive home. The pretzels were SO DRY AND HARD and the strawberry lemonade tasted like poison, LITERALLY!! I would NOT have EVER guessed that was strawberry ANYTHING!! It had NO.hint of strawberry OR lemonade flavoring; instead, it was the WORST BITTER tasting beverage I have EVER tasted!! The pretzels were all dry and had minimum cinnamon sugar dusting on it!! Those pretzels tasted like they were days old and had been sitting out!! I don’t know if it was because their lines were so backed up and they were rushing to make them, or if I was just so UNlucky enough to get OLD pretzels that didn’t sell the day before or what. I called down there and spoke to the manager on duty (I think he said his name was Marco). He was SO VERY RUDE AND DID NOT CARE WHATSOEVER and pretty much told me “oh well, there is nothing I’m going to do” about it. I live two cities away from that location, and again, I don’t drive or get out much, so I couldn’t drive all the way back down there to complain; all I wanted was my money put back on my debit card, but they refused!! I also called the 1-800 number and to this day, I have not heard ANYTHING from them!! I informed Marco that I’d be reporting him to corporate and he pretty much said “That’s fine!” — so either Marco has some really strong clout with the higher-ups at headqurters because NO ONE bothered to call me back regarding this incident and Marco almost dared me to call corporate; he did not care AT ALL, and I see why now because NOTHING HAPPENED AND NO ONE EVEN BOTHERED TO RETURN MY PHONE CALLS, so I had close to thirty bucks just tossed in the TRASH, LITERALLY!!!!!!! i. AM. SO. MAD!!!! AND. WILL. NEVER. EAT. AT. WETZEL. PRETZEL. AGAIN!! EVER!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡 My guests and I HATED it!!!! And I truly hope that Wetzel Pretzel will vet their managers/supervisors better in the future and get some that actually car about making their customers’ experience BETTER!!!!!!!!.

As much as you’re craving a pretzel, please don’t eat in here. Their customer service is terrible, and to top it off we bought two pretzels and both had a hair in it. We understand accidents happen so we went back, got an even worse treatment for pointing out a hair in the food that I payed for. We got a different one and before hitting the Levi’s store another long hair. We processed to throw the food away because clearly their hygiene protocols are being ignored by staff and management. Yes it is a long review but if it prevents someone else getting a hair in their mouth than so be it.

My Wife and I enjoy the Hamberger's. Hamberger combo without cheese is under $9.50 and double is under $12. I like the Pastrami Sandwich combo and it's about under $14 bucks. I would recommend anyone who likes hamburgers and pastrami sandwiches. I have yet to try breakfast, but I am sure it's good too.

Service is great. Staff is friendly and attentive. The zucchini fries and onion fries are bomb plus the price is a affordable. Place is clean. Reminds me of gus burgers. Came here because we were starving. Big portions big servings I ain’t complaining shrimp and burgers were really good craving their zucchini fries while writing this. You can eat inside or outside check em out

I never get tired of their Burger combo. Burger fries and a drink. It always hits the spot. Their prices are way cheaper than getting just a burger at most other places. Good food at a great price. The gyros are dry now a days. It seams like maybe they changed cooks.

Excellent! Everything was amazing! Their food is good, people are friendly & the atmosphere is comfortable & casual. I've never been disappointed, whether dining there, going through the drive through or getting it delivered!

Jack in the Box is a fast-food haven that offers an extensive menu featuring burgers, chicken, tacos, and breakfast items. Recently, I indulged in their Dodger Strike Out Special—buying a large drink to snag a free Jumbo Jack with cheese. The restaurant was spotless and surprisingly quiet during my visit. My drink arrived almost instantly, while the burger followed shortly after—a perfect quick bite! Plus, there was a TV playing sports which added to the ambiance.
Food was fire especially the good good sauce it was good on the fries as well as the popcorn chicken I definitely recommend it Jack has hit the jack pot with this one!! If you have tried the popcorn chicken you should deliver it a go you won't be disappointed 😉 🔥Complete 10 out of 10 in my Opinion....

Worst Jack in the Box experience so far. The 1 star is mainly given for the lady that does not understand english, had to repeat 3 times i m picking up an order and my name.Sandwich was smashed, i wasn t even done asking for creamer and she turned back and she was cheering up her colleague 🤔 Never returning to this location

Food was greasy. Made all of us sick. The drinks were not good. The worker kept trying to fix it but the machine was no good. All the drinks tasted like diet sprite. Honestly the food was horrible. I would avoid this JB if possible. They cant even hear you in the drive thru as the fwy is right behind you. I found my self yelling and the worker still couldn't hear me :(

Came in for the Dodger Strike Out Special (buy a large drink get a free Jumbo Jack with 🚫 cheese). The place was empty and the store and restrooms were clean. I got my drink cup in seconds and my burger came in around 3-5 minutes! Can't ask for more than that --- and there was a TV with sports on --- so that added to the experience. If not for this special, I would NEVER order the 'almost $6 burger!' And everytime I order at JIB, I inevitably ALWAYS get WHITE lettuce! 😡 I want my 🥬 green and my 🧅's white! Your entire franchise needs to fix this!!!

Service was not good. I ordered a soda and a chocolate cake. I got a cup right away but had to wait for fries to be cooked for the person in front of me so she could reach over to the shelf and hand me the cake. It was just me and one person inside and I had to wait more than 5 minutes for something that was ready.

I go here on my way to work but I couldn't roll my windows down because I just got them tinted , so I went inside and nobody acknowledged me. I am 65 and not tech savvy, so finally one of the workers said, ",we'll be with you shortly," since I'd been staring at her. 3 cars drove off in the drive away from the drive through and they started taking a new order from the drive through speaker. I know it wasn't a prejudice issue because they were all Hispanic too. Terrible service. This happened on 10/21 @7:45 if you choose to school them on customer service
Christine L — Google review
This location has a very poor drive-thru experience. Every time you place an order, they ask you to pull forward and wait in a parking spot instead of serving you at the window. It happens to almost every car, which defeats the purpose of a drive-thru. Service really needs improvement.

I liked my food but when I pay extra for something and don’t get it a bit upsetting.

Denny's is a beloved casual diner chain that serves up classic American comfort food, with an emphasis on all-day breakfast favorites. Recently, visitors have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the food and service. The staff, like Angel and Patricia H., are known for their outstanding attentiveness and genuine passion for the menu. They provide thoughtful suggestions that enhance your dining experience without being overly pushy. Many guests have noted how welcoming and efficient the service is, making each visit feel special.
We went to Denny’s for breakfast and there was no wait for a table, which was great. Diana, our waitress, was very attentive and friendly the entire time. The food was tasty, although it wasn’t quite as hot as I’d prefer. A big bonus is that they leave a coffee kettle at your table so you can refill without waiting. My boys really enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

I had an absolutely amazing experience at the Denny’s on Lincoln Avenue here in Orange! From the moment I walked in, the service was top-notch. Our server, Patricia H, was incredibly kind, attentive, and efficient. She made sure everything was perfect and had such a friendly, welcoming attitude that really made our morning special. The service was impressively fast we got our drinks quickly, and Patricia checked in on us regularly without being overbearing. It’s rare to feel that well taken care of these days, but she nailed it. Also, the coffee was excellent — fresh, hot, and exactly what I needed to start the day. We had several cups and each one was just as good as the last. The juices were great too — both the orange and apple juice were cold, crisp, and refreshing. The restaurant was clean, well-organized, and had a relaxed atmosphere — perfect for a quiet breakfast or catching up with a friend. Huge thanks to Patricia H for making our visit so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!

The food is great the cooks always do an amazing job in cooking the food just right!

Our server was Connie. We have been coming here for years because the service is amazing. Connie is amazing. When you come here and you see how many tables she has and how she attends to each guest and the smile that she has is infectious. There are other great service to Ana is awesome and so is.Dayana. Yes, eating out is a little bit more expensive but when you’re guaranteed good food and good service, it’s worth a treat yourself

My family enjoys our breakfast every Saturday morning at the Orange location off of Lincoln and Tustin Ave.. We always sit in Connie’s station. She is an amazing waitress. She is always cheerful and provides excellent service. She has coffee ready as soon as we sit down and then from memory, she confirms our order. The food is always hot and freshly prepared when served. It is a great way to start your day.

Our server Angel was absolutely outstanding, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. He guided us through the options with ease, offering thoughtful suggestions that perfectly complemented our choices. His ability to upsell wasn’t pushy, it was impressive, adding value to the experience by recommending pairings that truly elevated the meal. You can tell he really knows his stuff.looking forward to coming back here with my friends again.

Dennys has historically not been the go to place for breakfast but a return has been a pleasant surprise. It’s better now than many of the small businesses we thought should be better because of the “pride of ownership” thing. Connie always makes us smile with her warm and charming personality and makes eating there a positive experience, and the food really is as good as the small businesses we thought might put more care into things.
