“First time visiting and food was amazing and our server Damian was fantastic! We will be back!!”
“Great place to dine . Friendly service and great atmosphere. Food is tasty and plenty to eat . Desserts are delicious!!! 😍♥️”
“This is THE BEST fine dining steakhouse in North OC with a vibrant, classy atmosphere. From the steaks and seafood to the cocktails and old-fashioneds… everything is amazing. We’ve been patrons since it opened and would even order takeout (even old-fashioneds to go!) during the pandemic. A splurge but absolutely worth it.”
“Food was excellent. Many choices on the menu and good portions. King crab legs with garlic seasoning was so tasty. Service was great and staff very friendly.”
“Tried Thai 7 Bistro for the first time and loved it!! My wife and I ordered take out and enjoyed each dish. The Chicken Pad Thai was right there with my favorite pad Thai dishes I’ve had. The flavor was on point with juicy chicken, peanuts, and lime. We also ordered the yellow curry with tofu. Their yellow curry had a great depth of flavor with the creaminess of the coconut milk and a nice mild curry flavor. To top it off I got the Thai iced tea, always a great drink! The service was quick and friendly, our take out was ready in a quick 15 minutes! Highly recommend!”

“Had a rehearsal dinner for our sons wedding here. The food was great and service was awesome. This was the first time for Angie and O to eat at a Buck di Beppo and glad we had such a great experience.”
“Alza is my go-to spot for Italian food whenever I crave it. They’ve got a great menu with baked dishes, pastas, and pizzas. Each entree comes with a choice of soup or salad, and complimentary bread is served.
I tried the creamy arrabiata with chicken or sausage. It was a huge portion, and the sauce was just right - not too spicy. The only thing I wished for was that the pasta was a bit al dente. It was a tad overcooked. They also have a huge beer list with tons on tap. They also had five different types of Fortaleza tequila on the menu!”

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!”
“This is a daily treat for me and my daughter after our workouts. They are so friendly and fast and you always get the same taste every time. I love the selection and it’s not an overpriced treat. Thank you Boba Flip Team for your kindness and service to the area.”

“The cookies are always great. The employees sometimes stand around and ignore customers that need help using the touchscreen order pad. I have witnessed older people walk in, not know how to use the touch screen device, and employees just watch them struggle. Other than that everything is great.”

“There’s nothing quite as beautifully welcoming and authentic in all ways. This a second home to me and the owner is a great friend of mine now. They created an indescribably wonderful place where so many of us have created friendships with people that come in the door at any given time. It’s just amazing.”
“Honestly I was going to order basic pizza. I'm glad I tried something new. My family loved the pizza . It has a very original taste it's not sure if it's garlic butter or something along those like got the Hawaiian which at most places the ham over powers the taste of pineapple but this place just knows how to cook it perfectly where your tasting the pineapple and all the other ingredients more then just the Canadian bacon, Aka ham. Also ordered their pepperoni not greasy and over powering with cheese just perfect with the same great taste. This is the go to place for real good overeating pizza.”
“They have a patio area to hold and event. Check them out it's amazing here.”

“It would've been a perfect review, but the electronic tablet they expected you to order/pay from was super dirty. After we complained about it, the hostess just wiped it off, and it was still super dirty with finger prints all over it, and they expected you to order and pay from these dirty things. SMH. Other than that, service and food were good.”
“The wet burrito is very good just the way I remembered and other restaurants can't make the wet burrito just as good as you guys do I haven't had Pepe's wet burrito since a year or 2 I used to go to Pepe's that used to be in Anaheim which is no longer there it's a different restaurant and I've been hearing rumors about Anaheim adding Pepe's back in another location in Anaheim if it's true I hope it happens”
“I wanted to update my review.11/24/24.. what a big difference a good manager makes. I complimented him when there last time but it is a well run location now. Everyone working hard. Food was done on point and the manager was seen every where. Hands on. Compliments! Can totally notice the change ..........(this was my orginal review 7 years ago).
Service was slow by the servers... the hostess was working hard. She was running around doing all diffetent tasks including straightening the messy restroom. Our server was not attentive at all. ... will be awhile before going back.. floor manager was out of site.”
“Great beer and food. Recommend the firecracker shrimp appetizer”

“I have been going to De Oro La Puerta for lunch for years; their food is delicious! Last Sunday, they catered my wedding and all the guests raved about it. It was so reasonably priced, and Diana (or Diane, so sorry I don't have the name written😭) went above and beyond for us. She made it easy and so beautifully catered! Thank you so much!😋😍”
“Delicious grilled shrimp tacos with cabbage and plain diced tomatoes - the shrimp was prepared perfectly. My husband had grilled chicken breast tacos which were also delicious. Wish list: sliced plain avocado or avocado crema for the topping on the shrimp taco! 😊🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We stopped by IHOP for a late-night dinner and were greeted promptly with no wait time—seated right away, which was a great start. Our server, Rosario, was very friendly and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu before taking our drink orders.
Our family ordered breakfast items, including omelets and the Split Decision plates. My wife’s Build Your Own Omelet came out missing a couple of ingredients, but impressively, the kitchen and Rosario caught the mistake before we even had a chance to say anything and fixed it right away.
I did end up grabbing condiments myself after asking, but Rosario appeared to be the only server managing five other tables and handling to-go orders—so it’s understandable. She definitely deserves some extra support, but she stayed friendly and professional throughout.
All around, it was a great meal with good service. We'd definitely come back again.”
“Went for lunch on Saturday. We were a party 6. We had made reservations. Wait to be seated was quick and service was great. We all loved our food and our waitress Lauren was a doll. The manager was very kind and helpful. Grateful we had a good experience with staff and food. We will be back.”
“I brought my 3 year old here for dinner on a whim and he had a blast! We came on a weeknight and it was not busy at all. The prices are very reasonable. I had the Asian chicken salad which was yummy. Will be back!”

“This place is definitely needed before gym time by providing protein and healthy juices/smoothies to your body. Give me so much energy with their sports vibe! Come with me!!I picked:1. Champion - protein shake2. Warrior - signature shake3. Detoxifier - cucumber, apple, kale, lemon, ginger - fresh pressed juice”
“THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD. Seriously some of the best pita sandwiches and Greek salad I’ve had in Orange County. Authentic fresh, bold flavors - exactly how Greek food should be - and then add a bit of street flair. And don’t leave here without trying their desserts. Frozen Greek yogurt topped with baklava and their homemade bougasta (custard filled warm pastry) are A+, and I’ll probably get them both every time I come back.”
“By far the best Subway I have ever eaten at. Even my kids looked at me while we were eating and said " Dad this is the best subway ever". The food was great and the facilty was was very clean. Furthermore the customer service was spot on. Danny was amazing, not only did he have an awesome personality, but he greeted every customer with a smile and he was very personable. I know that may sound cheesy, but it's very rare to see people take pride in their job these days. I will absolutely go to this subway everytime I am in town.”
“I’ve passed this place many times and finally decided to stop in. I was not disappointed. Dining area was clean and spacious. I’m particular about my pastrami sandwiches and this one was awesome. The roll was toasted so didn’t get soggy. The meat was moist and thick. Overall, delicious. I can’t wait to try other items on their menu.”
“I was here midweek for lunch and it was like a ghost town. The salad special was fine but I noticed it was much smaller portion than the full salad breadsticks were okay. That could have been a little bit softer. Tortilla soup was not something. I'll order again. The melted cheese doesn't work right in a soup”

“Used to come here regularly before moving out of state. So when we come for a visit we make it a point to eat at TWE. Tacos are great and so are the enchiladas. Service is always crisp and friendly. Pretty good margarita. Love the salsa. Had to wait because of capacity issues during the pandemic but it wasn't bad.”
“Xfish Brea was hands down the most delightful sushi experience I've ever had! The ambiance is stunning and inviting, and the service is unmatched—attentive, kind, and truly spectacular. Simon annd Nikki were awesome! The sushi? Absolutely melt-in-your-mouth perfection, with top-tier quality and an incredible variety to choose from. I loved the unique pass-around menu concept, where servers bring small bites directly to you—it added such a fun, interactive touch. The live bluefin tuna cutting was an unforgettable, mesmerizing experience! This place is a must-visit!”

“I received the best customer service on Monday Morning at Mountain Mikes Pizza in Brea...She was a sweet lady...I don't remember her name...But, her friendly demeanor made my entire day...and My birthday pizza was FLAWLESS... If she reads this...or someone from that store...or one of my friends visiting that store...please tell her thank you. Tony”
“definitely unprofessional not ok to tell a customer that even though the person taking your order over the phone messed up your order then you call then rude employee female at 6:30 pm answer the phone saying they can resend it out but charge me delivery fee again which is not ok or how it works I worked for domino's for a few years now and we don't do bussiness like that at all its unprofessional to lie to a customer then when the customer ask for a manger you don't put them on hold for 15 minutes and you over hear the person on the phone say just great saying not professional things about the customer completely rude and employee needs written up an reprimanded for this type of behavior but the manager is going to make it right but no customer should ever have to wait 45 minutes more to get there correct order completely not ok hopefully the GM and the district manager will look into the store off bear valley in apple valley to train there employees in proper procedures and professional way to handle customer service we order all the time never have these type of issues very disappointed”
“Went to Reborn Coffee on a whim. The GF and I wanted a drink while we grocery shopped. I got the Chai and my partner got a strawberry matcha. We both LOVED our drinks. Super flavorful and expertly made. I’m incredibly picky with my chai. Most of the time it’s just lackluster in spice. Not at Reborn though. Hands down made my top 3. My partner liked her matcha a lot. I personally don’t like matcha but was surprised with hers. Will be going back regularly. And they have a rewards program too.

“A nice place for sandwich. Servers are super friendly I didn’t expect this from a sandwich restaurant! There was someone welcoming guests at the entrance, then the sandwich making ladies were very nice. I think the bbq sandwich was too sweet that it feels like it’s sweeter than dessert. If the sandwich was less sweet and have more balanced flavor, I’d like it much more.”
“Meleak was ahhhhmazing with her customer service, personality, and engaging demeanor. She was more than just attentive..... she made service her priority. It was so refreshing in this day and age. Hats off to Meleak!!!”
“We loved our breakfast. We are from the Bay Area and wanted a hearty breakfast. We found it! Such a great place! We wish they were in the Bay Area.”
“🍅 🍲 And a lot of friendly peoples. Atmosphere is very nice and decorated.”
“Food is fresh and tasted amazing. I especially loved the salad and tempura vegetables. Pictured is the ninja and samurai deluxe lunch special. Normally it come with miso soup but they were out that day so we had double rice. A bit pricey 4 plates came out to $72 but it was worth it.”
“I wanted to gatekeep this SO BADLY but I may have just found the BEST quality handrolls in Orange County.
Took my mom to this super chic and modern handroll bar in Brea. The quality of each handroll was UNREAL.
Seriously, so hard to choose favorites, but I loooved the baked blue crab and A5 wagyu.
I also definitely recommend getting their rock shrimp tempura appetizer and fun mocktails that are so tasty.
If you're like me and can't resist top-notch fresh fish that won't break the bank, make sure to bookmark this and share it with your friends.
Thanks for reading! ^-^”

“7/14/22 I made a lunch reservation for six of us today at the Brea, California location. Best food ever, of course. But, the biggest kudos go to our server-Eluzia! I cannot remember having a better server anywhere(and I’m an old lady). This young person had it all, from the smile on her face, to her knowledge of the menu, to her impeccable service, to her willingness to get whatever we needed! If you are lucky enough to have Eluzia serve your meal, you’re in for a super time.”

“This is the third Panini Kabob Grill I've visited, and like the two before, the food was fresh and delicious.
We both ordered the Mediterranean salad with salmon. It was a standard mixed green salad with, olives, cucumber, tomato, crumbled feta cheese and a balsamic vinaigrette. It also came with a few pieces of bread. The salmon chunks were cooked perfectly too. It was a light dinner, but left us satisfied.
Prices were fair, the place was clean and ....a big shout-out to Lestat who was literally the only waiter and he was crushing it. He was running around, seating people, taking orders, handling requests and did it all with the best attitude and friendly smile.”
“Such a great place to vibe, have a good time and enjoy good food! Don't sleep on these guys. They truly are making a difference here with their bluefin tuna! It's just that good! It's fresh and over the top with flavors!”
