Chubby Sushi & Ramen 120 S Brea Blvd UNIT 107, Brea Sushi • $$

“The food here was so delicious! The quality of the sashimi is really fresh. We got the Chubby Sashimi, and it did not disappoint. The price for the food is also really reasonable. The Chubby Sashimi was only $60. At other places, it would probably be at least $100. The oysters were amazing. They were super clean and tasted buttery. My kids loved the rolls so much they wanted seconds. Our server was so nice and attentive. Overall, everything was amazing. Definitely would recommend this place.”

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!”

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!”

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.”

Olinda Burger 150 Olinda Pl, Brea Hamburger

“Q: Ever had a burger so good you came back twice in one day?

A: Welcome to Olinda Burger, where that’s just a normal Saturday.

No reservations. No hype. Just a random drive through Brea that turned into a full-blown love story with a burger joint that feels like a movie set. You think you’re pulling into a motorcycle shop… then boom, grill smoke, good music, and people biting into burgers like they’re tasting joy for the first time.

🍔 Let’s talk about that burger

I went with the Standard Burger and if you’ve ever wanted to taste what “done right” feels like, this is it. No filler. No BS. Just thick, juicy, high quality beef that slaps you with flavor and hugs you with every bite.

They’re not faking it with fluffy buns or sneaky toppings. This thing stands on flavor alone and it stands tall. Other customers go nuts for the Smokeshow and the peanut butter meets sriracha wildness of the SPBB, and honestly, I believe the hype. Those are next on my hit list as everyone around me was hyping it up.

🍟 Fries that feed an army. Tenders that convert picky kids.

We got the fries with the burger and these weren’t just big, they were borderline absurd in the best way. Crispy golden giants, made to share (but good luck with that).

Tried the chicken tenders for my daughter. She’s nine. She’s picky. She took one bite and said, “These are the best I’ve ever had.” She’s now making plans to come back with her cousins like it’s her mission.

🧊 That tea though…

Iced raspberry peach sunset tea. Just read that again. It’s not syrupy. It’s not fake sweet. It’s tea, but make it soulful. Like summer in a glass. Like something you’d write a poem about if you had more time and better handwriting.

☕ Coffee lovers, they see you

Next door, Carbon Canyon Coffee is throwing down some serious caffeine game. Slow brewed Japanese style cold brew that tastes like it’s been thinking about your soul all night. No weird flavors. No fake syrups. Just honest to goodness craft coffee.

They’ve even got Thrifty’s Ice Cream, pure nostalgia in a scoop.

🪑 Ambiance that makes you want to live here

The outdoor patio? Chef’s kiss. A breeze that hits just right, gentle music, and the kind of seating setup that makes you stay longer than you planned. Wheelbarrow tables. Cozy nooks. One spot even feels like a tucked away reading den if books had a scent, it’d be burgers and fresh air.

🎁 Extras you didn’t know you needed

There’s a little shop with plants, knickknacks, and merch you’ll end up buying because you want to take a piece of the vibe home. And the staff? On a different level. The owner stepped out to give my daughter a free chocolate ice cream just because it’s summer and “why not live a little?” I mean, who does that anymore?

🏁 Final Word: Is Olinda Burger worth the hype?

No. It’s worth more than the hype. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to bring your friends, your family, your coworker who’s having a bad week, just so they can feel what you felt.

If you’re in Brea and don’t make the time for Olinda Burger, I can’t help you. This place is that good.

Get the burger. Try the tea. Sit in the sun. And let yourself fall in love with a spot that’s doing everything right.

(P.s. will update with more photos, we couldn’t wait to eat some missed a few early photos)”

“I had ordered the cold brew. It had a nice nutty profile, and was not as acidic as some cold brews. There is inside and outside seating. Inside was a little noisy for my liking, the music was on a higher volume. I sat outside, where there are high tops and also deeper chairs with what looked like comfy cushions.”

The Breakfast Factory 2166 Brea Mall, Brea Chicken • $

“The Breakfast Factory at the Brea Mall ⬅️

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Breakfast Factory in the Brea Mall food court, and let me tell you, it was a very tasty experience! While they offer some mouthwatering breakfast burritos that caught my eye, I decided to try their smash burger menu this time.

I went for the double cheeseburger smash burger combo, which came with a generous portion of crispy fries and a drink that had free refills—always a plus! The burger was a true standout, featuring their house sauce that reminded me of a delicious Thousand Island dressing, along with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Every bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection.

I was thoroughly impressed and can’t wait to go back and try their breakfast offerings and other menu items. If you’re in the area and looking for a satisfying meal, The Breakfast Factory is definitely worth a visit! Five stars all the way!”

Subway 403 W Imperial Hwy Unit I, Brea Sandwich Shop • $

“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.”

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!”

Origami Handroll Bar 1080 E Imperial Hwy E-2, Brea Sushi • $$

“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.”

“Have had good experiences with my last few take-out orders. All items have been included. You can receive your take-out orders quicker if you call in and order rather than placing online.

I marked down a star because many items do not allow you to ask for bbq sauce so many of the sandwiches arrive dry unless you ask for bbq sauce when you arrive in person.”

Panini Kabob Grill - Brea Plaza Shopping Center, 1617 E Imperial Hwy, Brea Mediterranean • $

“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.”
