“This was a refreshingly great experience.All of the food was excellent... tasted great and served at the right temperature.The place was clean. The service was good.For safety reasons they should move the chairs from the hall that leads to the ER exit and restrooms.”
“Amazing shop, our favorite boba place and we come here weekly. The owner and staff are so friendly and always remember us. Our favorite drink is the Viva Mango it has plum flavoring and Tajin! The perfect salty/sweet flavoring, So good! I also recommend the Coconut Pandan. I always get 50% sweetness but my kids prefer full sweetness. All the drinks are very different, so if you try one that is not your favorite, visit again and try another. They are sure to have something you enjoy and you cannot beat the great customer service.”
“Fresh pasta! Really good Italian food around the area with great flavor. Nice ambience! Got the short rib pasta and the shrimp and crab pasta. Great combo! Only thing is don’t get their tiramisu (it was the most average I have ever tasted…plus the owner said the alcohol is “cooked off” and completely safe to consume if you’re pregnant or if there are kids but you can clearly taste it. Go with another dessert option)”
“Placed a large catering order for a corporate lunch event and the owner was so accommodating to our needs! They opened the kitchen early for us so that I could pick up the food earlier so that it could be ready in time for our corporate event at noon. The food was delicious. Everything was packed nicely. They even provided plenty of forks and napkins. Thank you so much!”
“We typically always tend to go there for my in-laws birthdays because they are so close together. We love Mediterranean food and this place really has very good food. They offer different sizes and selections of plates which is a great fit for all of us because we can share or we can get something small if we know we aren't going to finish it or get something larger and take it home to eat again later. The food is always fantastic. I've never had any real issues with it. It's one of my favorite places to go. It's always consistently delicious”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We haven't been to Yard House in many years. We recently had lunch there and the menu has been elevated since last visited many years ago. Lunch is a lot more relaxing due to less people and our server was excellent and the food as well.Parking: Lots of parking behind restaurant during lunch, but will need to valet or park in structure across the street during dinner.”
“Great place to eat or pickup some sushi. This is not a place for high end omakase. It is more a place to get good quality Japanese food at a reasonable price. The workers are always friendly and it has a good relaxed vibe. Only drawback is that they only have one chef so everything takes a long time, even when the restaurant is not full.”
“The seafood was prepared tasty. It was an personal experience for me . Bringing me back to when I was home. I'm originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Thanks guys..”

“This place is a must go! Their customer service is superb, and their sushi is mouth-watering. Haven't had a piece of sushi I did not like from here. Traditional eatery with high-quality ingredients.”

“Located in the center of the Brea Mall Food Court. Best crepes in OC, as the owner says! He's a very friendly guy and fun to talk to! The menu has both sweet and savory crepes. I ordered one named the "Romeo and Juliet". Sweet and delicious!”
“We were a party of seven and our servers name was Olga. She was so nice and thoughtful. She allowed us to have separate checks. Excellent service and great food.”
“This hole in the wall has become my son and I’s traditional Sunday breakfast spot before we hit a local trailhead. The location offers a beautiful drive through Carbon Canyon which in of itself makes it worth it. The food is delicious and the coffee always hits the spot. If you make the time in the afternoon or evening to go during the weekend, their burger menu is also fantastic! The staff and owner are genuinely kind people. I highly recommend this place to everyone.”
“not so busy when i went. service was quick and friendly and so the drinks came out quick. i ordered the lavender matcha with oat milk and it’s so good! while there isn’t a lot of seating there’s enough to look around and chat and even study!”
“Good food and old fashion burger/sandwich spot. Enjoyed the famous Pastrami sandwich with mustard and pickles with fries. Kid friendly with a Jr. burger. My husband had chili cheese fries. Note that the large fries is more of a family style size it filled half ways up a paper bag.Kid-friendliness: Had a Jr. burger for kids and the place has room for kids with kids high chairs”
“Ice cream is always delicious. Been eating there for years. I was introduced to Rita’s ice cream parlor when I went back Houston Pennsylvania and my husband introduced me to. It had no idea it existed here on the West Coast up until I went to the East Coast.”
“The Chilaquiles and Chile Relleno Burrito are delicious. The cashier was very informative and nice. They have great specials. On Mondays you can buy any breakfast burrito and it comes with a free drink if I remember correctly. I would definitely come back here again to try something else.”

“The people at this restaurant are amazing. They treat everyone like family. They are friendly and very attentive. The food is also amazing. I have been coming here for around 20 years. We love to come for special events, like birthdays, but also... we try to come at least once a week. We love it here.”
“I'm usually pretty picky about Italian food, but this exceeded my expectations! The service was quick and appreciated the food was DELICIOUS, and the atmosphere was clean and organized. I'll be taking family here soon! :)”
“We went on a random Thursday night. A work friend had mentioned we might like this place. They were spot on. My husband and I enjoyed a couple drinks each. Then split some of their appetizers and small plates. We chose to sit at the bar, it give a better view for people watching. The Mint Julep was the best I've had since visiting New Orleans and the signature Boujee Violet was amazing, if you like lavender drinks. My husband had the Corpse Reviver No. 2 and the L'espresso Martini, both of which he gave high praise. We split the Kale Ceasar salad, mac & cheese, a Bavarian Pretzel and the Rock Shrimp Beignets. (And still took food home) Portion sizes are good, price range is a little high (but what isn't these days?) but not outrageous. Even though they were busy, the bartenders gave their full attention when assisting patrons. They are friendly, knowledgeable and well trained when it comes to proper customer service.Parking: If you've been to The Village at La Floresta, you're probably already familiar with the parking situation. While there is ample parking, there is a little walk to get to the restaurants location. But worth it.Kid-friendliness: Not really a good place to take young children. Although they do have space and some food items that can work. Likely best for families with older kids or to go around lunch time.”

“Hands down my favorite coffee shop ever!! Amazing and inclusive space. Good Vibes and great coffee!! Music is always pumpin! If you're ever in need of an emo caffeine fix this is your place! Super great place to hang out and chill. 10/10 If you're ever nearby this is a must visit shop”

“Always great quality food ! The prices have been increasing since Covid but their quality remains the same ! Anytime I want soup or a sandwich this is my go-to place ! Great for lunch !”
“I stopped by the other day and thought it was excellent! The tea was super yummy, and they had a wide selection of tea for both adults and kids. Drinks were labeled with whether or not they had caffeine or milk, and had multiple substitutions for milk averse people like myself lol. The place was also very clean and inviting, and the staff were super nice. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great boba tea experience.Parking: There is limited parking in front of the business due to being on a small street, but much more parking just around the corner in a parking structure”
“Forgot to take a pic but came here yesterday for lunch. Got the Italian melt and a canned espresso drink. Flavor was really good and different than from a normal Italian sandwich. Sandwich was big and came with a side salad that was tasty so I was full after. The sandwich could have had maybe a bit more meat on it and it lacked the spice from salami and pepperoni that you normally get on an Italian. The whole meal was $21 which is a more than I'd like to spend but quality and freshness is better than other sandwich places around. Steep price will keep me from coming often but maybe every few months to try a new item. As much as I'd want to try the Wagyu steak sandwich I can't justify an even pricier sandwich. Ate inside and it was comfortable seating and service was friendly. Only thing I had to turn my headphone volume up loud to drown out the Top 40 pop music that was turned up high for a small place. TLDR; would be a 5 if not for the steep price of a sandwich”

“We came here twice, for dinner and breakfast—it was fantastic both times! As someone who is gluten-intolerant, it is always a breath of fresh air to see a clear and concise menu with GF marked. We personally tried the teriyaki bowl, breakfast tacos, breakfast potatoes, sweet potato fries, and the pineapple berry drink. I am sure everything is equally as delicious as these items were! Would definitely come again and again ?Dietary restrictions: Amazing gluten free and vegan options!Kid-friendliness: They have a cute kids table available with smaller chairs.”
“We ordered takeout for a church event.Carlie brought our order out to our car.What an exceptional employee you have. She made us feel like a valued customer, greeting us with a smile & thanking us for ordering from them.”
“Came to try the chicken waffle sandwich. It was really good! I got the spicy and asked for coleslaw instead of lettuce or whatever comes on the spicy option, also got the seasoned taters . The seasoning on the taters was a bit overpowering so next time I’ll either get the waffle fries or get plain taters. I like the drink options, they have coffee and iced coffee as part of the fountain drinks option. The Coleslaw is a bit tartary so next time I’ll ask for it It in the side. Great service! Oh and they have great ranch upon request!”
“We loved everything about our experience except the atmosphere was lovely at 5 p.m. At 6 p.m. the noise made it difficult to talk to the people at our table. Seriously, the food was amazing; the servers were very helpful. It just became increasingly difficult to carry on a conversation. We'll be back, but we know what to expect now.”
“Their selection of pastries and drinks is really interesting and I can't wait to try more of them. The cream cheese garlic bread is indulgent and delicious - it's definitely on the sweeter side though!”
“Love the food and service here, Alway order Baja bowl. It is so delicious. They have condiment bar that you can get for your spicy level. They work stuff is great, Alway welcome and provide good service for you.”
“Great location as far as Paris Baguette goes. Food is always good and service has consistently been fair to OK, however prices are higher than comparable bakeries. I was surprised in my visit in March 2024 just how much all the bakery items and sandwiches have increased in price. Still, a good option in Brea, been coming since it opened around 2020. Outside seating is good, and shared with the Yogurtland next door”
“This is also a store that makes you feel like you're in America.A lot of tortillas come.The avocado dip was very delicious.I'm not a fan of watermelon cocktails, but it was interesting.I ordered grilled salmon for my main dish.It was delicious and just the right amount!”

“The prosciutto and chicken sandwich is a delight! Everything was excellent. From the slices of the meats to the cheese and the almonds. Made with care towards the consumer. I recommend this establishment. ??”
“Delicious brunch and friendly service. The rose lattes are delicious! I love that they add dried petals on the top. The style of the restaurant is cute and clean. The food was ready fast and the flavor was amazing.”
“The food is delicious. This is the second time my wife and I have been there and the calamari is so good. The first time we were there over 5 years ago we said we would go back well we finally did and we found out that now they add chili peppers to the sauce. If ruined my wife’s lunch since she does not eat chili she drank 3 glasses of water and it was not helping. We had chicken carbonero and somehow that helped her. We will go back not yet but this time we will ask for no chili on the sauce. I wanted to give them 5 stars but my wife almost ran out the door and I could not blame her. I was very shocked with the prices. We just had three things and it was over $100!!!”
“It was our first time eating there. The staff helped us with very easy instructions to show us how to cook the meats. Each meat came in its own marinade so they were all different tasting, and they all tasted good. The Happy hour special was great way to try it out.”
“Nice little bar with an outstanding whiskey selection! The food was absolutely fabulous as well. When we arrived, we were waited on almost immediately, and our server checked on us frequently. There was a wandering magician keeping the patrons entertained, and eventually a live 3-piece jazz ensemble arrived and played a fairly long set. Overall, I would highly recommend.”
“This is one of my favorite places. I now have to travel 70 miles to get my favorite Roasted Tomato Soup. The hand made tortillas with honey butter?. And I can’t forget that they have my favorite tropical tea. I hope they never close as they have done to the Grills closer to me.”
“Delicious restaurant with many options of food to choose from. Food always hot and tasted fresh. Service is helpful, polite and attenative. Many food options to chose from. Desserts are top notch. I'd come here just for those.”
“Usual olive garden taste and quality. Same consistency as other olive garden outlets. Lots of tables and wasn't actually crowded on weekends but recommended booking a table ahead just to avoid any unnecessary waiting. Food quality was good and ingredients seemed pretty fresh. A Lot of drink options available. Ample veg options available.Servers were friendly and quick in responding. Wheelchair accessible. Free parking available on the premises.Food Value for Service: 3.5/5”
“Pungent shrimp. Shaken beef. Salt pepper pork chop. Usually my go to. Super quick service. Good taste and honest pricing. I haven’t found a better little spot in this area.”
“Late lunch Sat afternoon. No wait.Seated & greeted. "Anything to drink? Or are you ready to order?" I inquired if they still made a delishious black raspberry daiquiri they made probably 25 years ago.She said she'd check. And said Yes!Great we'll take two!My son is not much of a seafood eatter but he ordered a combo of popcorn shrimp & the coconut shrimp.I asked for price on 1.25lb lobster. $50 bucks. I chose that. Im there for lobster.She returns with our drinks. Not the same black raspberry I was talking about, but tasty. $13.99 ea.She asks if I want to pick my lobster? I hesitate, Ive seen tanks out front, but never chosen one from it. I decide to go look.They all want on the rake, so I say anyone of them is fine.Their biscuits are delishious.The food comes & looks great!But I discover I have no idea how to get the meat out of a full steamed lobster! I've only eatten tails. I work on a claw untill the waitress comes to check on us. She offers to take my lobster back & have it cracked up by the pros.Dinner was great from there. A little work but worth it. All I ate was lobster, took all sides home for lunch.I highly recommend this place. Its pricy, so plan or save according.Our meals & 2 cocktails total $100. And dont forget the tip. We tipped 20% as everything was well executed, which added another $20 to our tab.Money well spent on a special meal.”
“I have never had a taco as awesome as the bone marrow taco, and they serve up beautifully!! Really great menu! Will definitely have to make this another pit stop whenever I come into town. If you want some great food and drinks , do yourself a favor and hit this spot up!!”
“Shredded beef tacos are delicious! Soooo good. So is there California burrito, and I love the beans. The rice is ok but dry. The amount of French fries they give you is great . Portions are good. The only bad thing is they are closed Mondays.”
“There are very few if any venues like Copper Blues in OC. Situated adjacent to the Improv in Brea it has an open air feel with one whole wall open to Brea Blvd. Folks waiting in line on the sidewalk for the Improv can peer inside for a peek at the scene inside. There's a large bar in front of the stage with plenty seating. The rest of the venue has various types of seating from high top tables to booths. I've been to several shows and had a fun time at each. The food is good and the drink prices were reasonable. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's unique type of venue, think mini HOB. Good place to hang for an evening with friends.”
“Food: it's been a long time since I last visited CPK and surprisingly the food tasted how I remembered. The portion somehow felt a lot smaller than it used to though.Service: our server was very nice and refilled the drinks even before he was asked to. It was pretty busy night and we were overwhelmed by his service.Atmosphere: crowded and loud. I don't know how else I would explain. It was a decent place to go out ten years ago but I think I prefer to dine in quite places now.”
“The best Mexican food we've found in the area. I'm from San Antonio and my wife is from East L.A. So, no strangers to authentic Mexican food.We have lived in the Diamond Bar/Walnut area for 40-years. We've eaten at De Oro many times, tried many different menu items, and we have never been disappointed.I realize people have different tastes in food, different expectations, and different experiences when dining out. I feel bad for the folks who had a disappointing experience at De Oro.The staff is always friendly towards us and if they are busy and running slow, they apologize to us and bring us more tortilla chips.We know if there are a lot of customers or if they have a lot of to-go orders, it's going to take more time than usual. We are old and retired, but not everyone has the time or patience to wait and they leave a negative review.We have tried many Mexican restaurants in the area. I won't mention the ones we didn't like because, it's a matter of personal taste.Xavi's in Chino Hills was my favorite, but I haven't eaten there since before the pandemic. I expect they are still great. Pepe's in Hacienda Heights, The Durango in Brea (they didn't survive the 2020 shut down), the big Juancho's restaurant in Ontario (I don't know if they are still there), the small Juancho's cafe in Chino Hills is good for a quick take-out (they used to be better before Covid and they had to remove the "help yourself" bean pot), The Whole Enchilada in Diamond Bar before the demographics changed causing them to shut down, and Kalaveras. I can't be sure if it's the food I like or the atmosphere. I always have fun no matter which one I eat at, but I particularly like the small hole-in-the-wall one in Montebello.If anyone knows a better place in the area for Mexican food, I'd like to know.”
“Excellent food, amazing service, welcoming atmosphere. The chicken schwarma plate with hummus was delicious.Vegetarian options: Cauliflower, salads, falafel, hummus”
“Delicious brunch and friendly service. The rose lattes are delicious! I love that they add dried petals on the top. The style of the restaurant is cute and clean. The food was ready fast and the flavor was amazing.”

“Sooo good! The food was amazing and they made everything I requested vegetarian, I had the plantain soup, papas locas and the mazorcada. Everything so delicious! The place was spotless clean and the service was super friendly and patient with me and my questions. Will be back!”
“The people at this restaurant are amazing. They treat everyone like family. They are friendly and very attentive. The food is also amazing. I have been coming here for around 20 years. We love to come for special events, like birthdays, but also... we try to come at least once a week. We love it here.”
“Good selection of teas and fair pricing. I'm always looking for non-caffeinated options for my kids and Ding Tea has a variety of slush flavors for them. Service is always quick and friendly here!”
“The first time I tried this place was maybe two years ago and I've been twice within the past two weeks and I plan on becoming a regular! Yes, it's that good!Here's what I have tried:**Breakfast Sandwich: You can get this with either bacon, pork sausage, or turkey sausage so I went with pork sausage. They also offer three types of bread so I went with wheat. You can either have it as is or toasted so I got it toasted. Everything was delicious and it was packed with toppings. Delicious! (5/5)**Breakfast Burrito: You can get this with either bacon, pork sausage, or turkey sausage so I went with pork sausage. Easily one of the best breakfast burritos you'll ever have at a small mom and pop shop like this. The house-made salsa is also very delicious. (5/5)**Breakfast Panini: You can get this with either bacon or sausage so I went with sausage. It's cooked perfectly and every topping is so fresh and delicious. By far my favorite item on the menu! (5/5)**Passionfruit Jasmine & Pomegranate Green Iced Tea: The tea base is really good here. It's not too bitter and at the same time, you can taste the quality of the tea. I like my teas unsweetened and you can definitely taste the flavors. I hope to try all the flavors eventually. (5/5) **Hazelnut Latte: I got this as a hot beverage and less sweet. No complaints at all, just some good quality coffee. (5/5)I've been here four times now and everyone that works here is so friendly and has a great attitude. If you dine-in, they'll stop by often to make sure everything is good. If you're taking out, they make sure to keep you company with awesome vibes. I love love LOVE this place. It's a very clean little restaurant and the ambiance is very nice.Prices are very fair but if you have a large appetite like me, I would probably order some extra items on the side. I highly recommend this place. It won't disappoint. Enjoy!”
“Good place for Japanese food..Ramen was delicious with none of those salty taste compared.to others..wife and daughter like it I had the beef bowl and it is very good..reminds of a similar taste in San Francisco ..”

“It was very easy to order on the app, my drink was ready right as I walked in and it was delicious! I purchased it for my daughter who needs to consume more veggies, so I love Nekter for that reason. She thinks she’s getting a milkshake and I can feel good knowing she’s actually getting some greens.”
“Crumbl always enforces cleanliness and enthusiasm in the workplace, apparent to any customer. The cookies are always of the best quality and are beyond delicious! I love getting to try new ones each week.”
“I really enjoyed it. the crust was soft, the cheese was flavorful, the sauce was well proportioned. My only thing was the crust was a bit bland. Aside from that, this is by far one of the best pizzas in the area!”
“Boyfriend found this place while waiting for me and took me here to check this place out. I went with him near closing time. The baristas weren't unfriendly, but didn't talk to us at all except asking if we were ready to order.They have cute things for sale. Interesting menu. We only got one pastry which now I'm regretting because it was so delicious - the Nutella Cookie Bun!Drinks we got the Einspanner & Dalgona Toffee Iced Lattes x2 times. Both were deliciously strong.If we lived closer and/or returned for a business trip nearby, we will definitely be coming back!”
“Excellent food, amazing service, welcoming atmosphere. The chicken schwarma plate with hummus was delicious.Vegetarian options: Cauliflower, salads, falafel, hummus”
“I had the braised lamb entree and it was awesome! The service was really great and the staff was super friendly. It was very clean. I will definitely recommend this place to every one I know for great tasting Greek / Mediterranean food. Thank you!”
“This place was so delicious! Definitely going to be in my meal rotation from now on. The carnitas were so tender and juicy, every bite was a burst of flavor. Very very ”
“Great food, great service! It gets very busy at lunch, so I always come a little early or late. If you've never been there, start with the Chicken Kabob plate. It's the best.”
“We've eaten here numerous times over the past year. The food is consistently good and the service is always warm and friendly. Love their boneless sweet & spicy fried chicken, dukbokki, fried sweet potatoes and fried zucchini! Highly recommend this location!!”

“Definitely good food and atmosphere but the motivation behind writing this review is strictly because of Ana. I have not seen such impressive hard work under pressure and have such a nice and kind attitude. Definitely recommend this spot, they have the right people in charge.”
“The food is delicious. This is the second time my wife and I have been there and the calamari is so good. The first time we were there over 5 years ago we said we would go back well we finally did and we found out that now they add chili peppers to the sauce. If ruined my wife’s lunch since she does not eat chili she drank 3 glasses of water and it was not helping. We had chicken carbonero and somehow that helped her. We will go back not yet but this time we will ask for no chili on the sauce. I wanted to give them 5 stars but my wife almost ran out the door and I could not blame her. I was very shocked with the prices. We just had three things and it was over $100!!!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Excellent burgers, they are delicious and their parents are prepared and cut at that moment, the very good quality meat, enjoy and savor, give yourself the opportunity to try them, I do recommend them.”
“Quick, friendly service. New promotion is offering $3 specials daily, different item each day of the week. Saturday was all-beef hot dog with their signature chili topping — yum! We used the drive-thru, so for atmosphere we can say that the menu board was easy to read, the speaker was clear and loud, and the cashier was smiling and efficient. I tried their Orange Cream Shake but it was not what I expected. There was orange flavored stuff swirled on the inside of the glass, then vanilla shake added and possibly blended. My first sip had a mouthful of crunchy bits of the orange flavoring.”
“Farmer boys is always best! A little pricey..ooh it’s pricey but the quality is there. A simple menu when you need one, the fries are always crispy and I get a bacon boy!”
“This is an awesome little café with a drive through. It has two outside tables and another half dozen tables inside. Our young server was very friendly, informative and just all-around hospitable. At $11.95 we enjoyed a Cuban, which arrived with a bag of chips and wedge of pickle. This was a pressed hot sandwich on a hoagie. With pulled pork (I didn't hear a squealing piggy), ham Swiss and pickles this was a bit dry yet delicious. We also enjoyed the $10.95 Grilled Guacamole Turkey on homemade bread. This was not sliced turkey, it was like a tuna salad yet a bit dry too and falling out while I tried to eat it. With lots of mustard, Swiss, tomato, pickle and $2 more for bacon, we'd recommend either of these if you are in the mood for a sandwich.”
“Excellent food and friendly staff.Breakfast burrito is the best around, way better than John's Place.Burgers are awesome and the onion rings are excellent!!Highly recommend.Give it a try.”
“Burger King inside Walmart is a convenient dining option while shopping. The menu offers classic burgers and tasty sides at affordable prices. Quick service and a casual atmosphere make it a convenient choice for a quick meal. Recommend placing an online order to save time.”
“Very good. I got a frosted lemonade, fries, and a deluxe chicken sandwich. It was delicious, especially the frosted lemonade. I've never had it before, but I tried it today, and it was solid. This location is quick and has great service. We did the drive thru, but the employees were still very nice. Would recommend.”
“This starbucks is the best! Everyone here is so nice, Maddy makes the best drinks, Shanley has excellent customer service and James is hilarious! I've been going to the drive through lately and the new girl with the brown hair I believe goes by the name of Emma, can be a bit nervous but hey it happens; she's new but she's also excellent, she was perfect in the drive thru speaker, was great handing me the drinks, would ask about my day and was just very generous- She's great, I like her! I enjoy going here, excellent service all around!”
“They have several options to satisfy the customer, except that I have had hamburgers with meat that is a little old. But that's just the restaurant's good option.Parking: Plenty of parking, clean..”
“For a restaurant that is in the mall I'd have to say my experience is was all positive. The food was good for mall food and not once had a bad server. I do recommend people trying them out and getting their orange chicken with steamed rice. My top choice.”
“Great fast food option in the Brea Union shopping Plaza.Our cashier Ethan was friendly. Food was made to order. We dine in and enjoy the different sauce options. Three pepper sauce was perfect spice and heat.Clean floors, table, Windows, floors and restroom. Outdoor lot was clean also. Large safe well lit parking lot.”
“Vegetarian options: Lamayor parte de su comida se puede hacer vegetarianaKid-friendliness: Si es adecuado para los niñosWheelchair accessibility: Si muy accesible para las personas en sillas de ruedas”
“This Panera make a great breakfast sandwich.I have eaten at other Panera and I was pleasantly surprised by the size and taste of the egg sandwich.The cashier was super friendly. She was helpful to grab some milk as there wasn't any milk available near the coffee pots.I was there during the day and noticed a good size outdoor patio with a fire pit and I am not sure if it still be used. But its a great setting. I can't speak for the other food that make here as I have only eaten the egg and cheese sandwich. There is plenty of parking out front of the location.I have been back several times, and the food has been consistently good.”
“Good !!Kid-friendliness: My granddaughters loved the Happy Meal chicken nuggets and orange juice.I had a play facility, so I brought my granddaughtersIt's the best place to playI'm happy because it's a very nice place”
“Wow! I haven't had a great experience like today at an EPL in a long time! Came in today (Thursday Dinner) and ordered some burritos and a family meal for the family. It seemed to be their busy hour but the employees seemed very in control and attentive to every order and guest!! After I quickly received my order, about 10 minutes after sitting down and eating, the manager Arturo came around and asked how the food was tasting and asked if we needed anything else and offered to take any trash we had! This location is amazing keep it up!!”
“The BEST coke I ever ever had in my entire life! Elizabeth was our server and she was fast accurate and also kept our drinks filled. The food was hot when it came out and delicious! Will definitely come here again”
“Excellent sushi and excellent service. The restaurant let us know they were understaffed, but they still did a great job. Highly recommend the Shrimp Lover, Triplet, and Yas.”
“It was our first time eating there. The staff helped us with very easy instructions to show us how to cook the meats. Each meat came in its own marinade so they were all different tasting, and they all tasted good. The Happy hour special was great way to try it out.”
Cheap Eats
“In our family's meal time favs, we can't go too long without ordering lunch or dinner from this little place. Grilled Chicken Salad, Cheeseburgers... Yummo!”
“This is a restaurant I would frequent when I lived in the area. Veggie Pho is my personal favorite. I would usually order a BBQ chicken, or pork sandwich to go with it and a spring roll platter.Lemonade is freshly squeezed and super refreshing. I haven't been in years but I took advantage that I was in the area a couple days ago. Food is just as delicious as I remember which shows their consistency! ?Highly recommend this restaurant if you have the hankering for some hot ? Pho.Vegetarian options: Veggie Pho”
“I've been looking forward to trying bafang and it did not disappoint! For $13 you can get 6 potstickers and a nice sized bowl of noodles! Although none of the food blew me away I thought everything I had was tasty and was great quality for mall food (especially for the price). The potstickers had good flavor and went well with their sauces but they could be a bit more crispy. The noodles were really nice and chewy and had great sauces! Service was quick and we got our food in about 10 minutes. The worker was nice and explained their menu to us when we asked. Overall a great addition to brea mall and I would recommend people give it a try!”
“Been coming to mother's market and kitchen for a few years now I bounce back from the brea location to the Huntington Beach location on Beach Boulevard. I love the inferno wrap with quinoa on the side and black beans. Their healthy juices are amazing as well”
“Food is solid I'd say. Issue is, this is the only Mexican restaurant in my whole life that chargers for "complimentary" chips and salsa. No refill on chips or sala for free, no refills on drinks, they charge for everything. Food is good, but the way they charge for everything is absurd. I don't understand, unless they don't get a lot of business. For this, I give overall 3 stars, but 4 stars for food flavor.”
“Great lil place tucked away in Brea. Food is good ? ? prices are ? Wow. Watch for specials too. Service is good also. Friendly staff ?I'll be back for the Ramen. You'll leave with a happy satisfied belly.”
“Stop by here for afternoon coffee and they didn't disappoint me. I got cinnamon roll latter and I love that it's light sweet so i can taste more coffee. Well the matcha soft serve just keeps calling my name so I end up to ordered it too. The soft serve was surprise me. It was so concentrate and fragrant come with soba seed ( I have no idea what it it but it paired very well together) if you are matcha lover, this is a must order !!Ps. The barista are so nice and friendly too”
“I came here in celebration of pi day. Surprisingly not many people know about this deal and the place was empty. The pizza was tasty and the staff very nice. Great place to watch sports. Every year to my knowledge when you download their app and purchase a 20oz drink you get a mini cheese or pepperoni pizza for free! Only on pi day.”
“Best darn chicken salad sandwich on squaw ive ever had! Amazing! Ill be back! Service wonderful. Truffle fries so so, ill skip that next time.Difficult to find. This is in the middle of a business district with little signage to point you in right direction so, we had to call to figure out where exactly their located. If you dont work there, you have no idea its there in the middle of the business park. Plenty of parking. Small location. Im sure its busy and tight during lunch being its surrounded by multiple businesses. Hours are limited and they close by 2pm and closed weekends.”
“Mel and Tania are the BEST hostesses!! They made our company feel like very special and created an atmosphere of FUN!! Thank You for all of the fun, SINGING, and Laughs.”
“This is my go to sandwich spot, the manager is super nice, and funny! I had a little problem with one of my orders and he made sure to reach out to me and fix the problem which is not so common now a days. Highly recommend.”
“Looking for a great "Hole in the wall" burger and breakfast place ... this is it. At John's Place, you'll get good serving sizes at a good price. We've always enjoyed great service and a very comfortable atmosphere. I recommend the shrimp dinner and ask for 1/2 fries and 1/2 zucchini.”
“I have eaten their breakfast burritos since 1999. They are the best in Orange County. The family that runs this restaurant are wonderful and provide the best customer service! Love this place!”

Definitely will be coming here again .Vegetarian options: Plenty.Parking: A lot.Kid-friendliness: Tye lady who works there has a good attitude and very friendly .Wheelchair accessibility: It is an easy access.”
“Not too many dives in Brea, so I definitely had to check this place out. It was a good spot for a couple of drinks and to play some tunes on the jukebox. Crowd was a little iffy. The bartender was nice. I may come back again if in the area.”
“Nice little bar with an outstanding whiskey selection! The food was absolutely fabulous as well. When we arrived, we were waited on almost immediately, and our server checked on us frequently. There was a wandering magician keeping the patrons entertained, and eventually a live 3-piece jazz ensemble arrived and played a fairly long set. Overall, I would highly recommend.”
“It really tasted just like Japan.It was delicious!It was interesting to see how the dishes on the plate became more American as they went to the right.Maybe it wasn't my intention.When you miss Japanese food ?”
“This is one of my favorite places. I now have to travel 70 miles to get my favorite Roasted Tomato Soup. The hand made tortillas with honey butter?. And I can’t forget that they have my favorite tropical tea. I hope they never close as they have done to the Grills closer to me.”
“We were 12 people - some with special requirements to the burgers. All burgers were served in a timely manner and all requirements were met correctly. Place is dog friendly, and accept dogs inside in the restaurant (which is very rare in Denmark).”
“Cute place. Inside is cozy but feels like it was intended for picking up take-out orders. OUTSIDE however feels like a family BBQ. Just the right amount of shade and breeze. Not cut off from the restaurant, so the service is still attentive.”
“Delicious restaurant with many options of food to choose from. Food always hot and tasted fresh. Service is helpful, polite and attenative. Many food options to chose from. Desserts are top notch. I'd come here just for those.”
Latest Reviews
“Went here last week and have been meaning to write a review. My brother and I went to this Chipotle and needless to say the staff did not disappoint. The waitress who served us was super kind and friendly. We didn't have one issue with them. That is how customer service works. When it comes to the ambiance of the location it was well lit. The environment looked clean from what I could see and everyone was using proper sanitization skills properly. That is a big bonus in my standards for good hospitality. My brother and I ordered one of the secret menu items known as a Quesarito. Hopefully that was spelt right. The food was prepped very well and the chicken was cooked right and we couldn't complain at all about it.With a rating out of 10 I would have to rank this Chipotle location a 9/10. Keep up the excellent service.”
“It’s been a couple of years since we’ve been back to the Cheesecake Factory. We had the pleasure of having Joseph Golden attend to our dining experience and we are definitely making this one of our favorite places to be.

Thank you Joseph and to the Cheesecake Factory in Brea for great food, fun atmosphere and great choice in selecting their employees that do a great job in representing the restaurant with 1st class.”

“I have never had a taco as awesome as the bone marrow taco, and they serve up beautifully!! Really great menu! Will definitely have to make this another pit stop whenever I come into town. If you want some great food and drinks , do yourself a favor and hit this spot up!!”
“Food: it's been a long time since I last visited CPK and surprisingly the food tasted how I remembered. The portion somehow felt a lot smaller than it used to though.Service: our server was very nice and refilled the drinks even before he was asked to. It was pretty busy night and we were overwhelmed by his service.Atmosphere: crowded and loud. I don't know how else I would explain. It was a decent place to go out ten years ago but I think I prefer to dine in quite places now.”
“Good food and old fashion burger/sandwich spot. Enjoyed the famous Pastrami sandwich with mustard and pickles with fries. Kid friendly with a Jr. burger. My husband had chili cheese fries. Note that the large fries is more of a family style size it filled half ways up a paper bag.Kid-friendliness: Had a Jr. burger for kids and the place has room for kids with kids high chairs”
“Ice cream is always delicious. Been eating there for years. I was introduced to Rita’s ice cream parlor when I went back Houston Pennsylvania and my husband introduced me to. It had no idea it existed here on the West Coast up until I went to the East Coast.”

“Great food, great service! It gets very busy at lunch, so I always come a little early or late. If you've never been there, start with the Chicken Kabob plate. It's the best.”
“The food is amazing every visit. The service is always great at this location. Ask for Jeremy...He's the best! Must start with the warm freshly baked biscuits and sweet apple butter. The ribs and the tri-tip are my favorites. I tried the Carolina chicken sandwich with a side of buffalo sauce this last visit. The sandwich is giant and delicious. Lucielle's offers a great to go catering menu. The packages I order to go say feeds 2-3 people when in reality it feeds double the amount of people. Can't wait to go back.”
“Late lunch Sat afternoon. No wait.Seated & greeted. "Anything to drink? Or are you ready to order?" I inquired if they still made a delishious black raspberry daiquiri they made probably 25 years ago.She said she'd check. And said Yes!Great we'll take two!My son is not much of a seafood eatter but he ordered a combo of popcorn shrimp & the coconut shrimp.I asked for price on 1.25lb lobster. $50 bucks. I chose that. Im there for lobster.She returns with our drinks. Not the same black raspberry I was talking about, but tasty. $13.99 ea.She asks if I want to pick my lobster? I hesitate, Ive seen tanks out front, but never chosen one from it. I decide to go look.They all want on the rake, so I say anyone of them is fine.Their biscuits are delishious.The food comes & looks great!But I discover I have no idea how to get the meat out of a full steamed lobster! I've only eatten tails. I work on a claw untill the waitress comes to check on us. She offers to take my lobster back & have it cracked up by the pros.Dinner was great from there. A little work but worth it. All I ate was lobster, took all sides home for lunch.I highly recommend this place. Its pricy, so plan or save according.Our meals & 2 cocktails total $100. And dont forget the tip. We tipped 20% as everything was well executed, which added another $20 to our tab.Money well spent on a special meal.”

“Food was just okay, nothing special. I ordered steak with shrimp and a bkaed potato. My baked potato was cold, steak was good but not cooked "medium" as ordered, it was well done instead...all gray inside. Broccoli side was fine and the warm bread was good. My shrimp arrived about 5 minutes after the rest of my food, the server said the kitchen was still working on it. When it did arrive, they were very small and only sort of warm. We went on a Saturday night and it was pumping....very crowded. Our server was on it, he did a great job, absolutely no complaints there.Plenty of parking there too.”
“Usual olive garden taste and quality. Same consistency as other olive garden outlets. Lots of tables and wasn't actually crowded on weekends but recommended booking a table ahead just to avoid any unnecessary waiting. Food quality was good and ingredients seemed pretty fresh. A Lot of drink options available. Ample veg options available.Servers were friendly and quick in responding. Wheelchair accessible. Free parking available on the premises.Food Value for Service: 3.5/5”
