“I think overall it went over my expectations. Definitely getting your money's worth of experience. Most of the side dishes you get your own which is great if there are specific types of side dishes you get a lot with kbbq, and options are really great. Each of the meat orders comes smaller compared to what you usually get in all you can eat kbbq, which I see as a good thing as you can control more portions and less food waste. The food quality is what you'd expect, it's not gonna blow your mind but still really good for the price you are paying. Only complaint is that I wish there was more seating provided for wait, we went on Sunday 5pm for two people and waited in car for an hour.”
“If you like ramen, this place is fantastic with red and white miso broth options. The spicy tao paste is over the top spicy so be careful. The service is traditionally awesome. The atmosphere is also traditional Japanese decor with matching music. However, the outdoor seating is a couple of folding tables pushed up against the window 3 feet from the parking lot.”
“Great show. However the chicken was very very dry and hard. The sound person made a mistake and the mic got too close and set off a screeching sound for about 3 minutes strong. Other than that it was great.”
“I fkn love this place! We have been coming to The Cauldron since 2019 and every year it's like the first. Everything about this spot is magical and intriguing. The drink are mouth watering and the food is delicious. We fall in love with this place and each other all over again every year.”
“Gopchang is a must here. The side dishes are also really yummy. The soy bean soup here is also super good. Will be a long wait in thd weekend but you can join the waitlist on yelp first without being near the ”

“Excellent service!!?? This is our familys frequent night-out destination. We all appreciate Mr.Donnie's kind service. He is a master griller, making every beef grilled to perfect temperature. ?? thank you so much!!”
“I have NO problems with this place. The only issue is I eat so much until I'm literally like a stuffed sausage. ??? my favorite KBBQ place to go to. You won't be disappointed✌???????Parking: The place gets packed, get there when it opens. It fills fast. ✌???”
“Finally made it here!! My husband and I went here for date night recently and we ordered the two kinds of meat, the creamy udon, and the cheese tonkatsu. We happen to come on a Friday night a little after they open and luckily it wasn't busy just yet. The service was really fast and the quality of the meat was amazing! The cheese tonkatsu was a bit heavier so by the time we finished grilling our meats and eating some of the udon, we were too full to finish the cheese tonkatsu. The creamy udon is a beef curry udon with a topped layer of this special cream that has this grainy texture similar to mashed potatoes. It was good to try, but I wouldn't get it again. I'll probably try the other noodles that they offer. I really enjoyed the concept of grilling the meat in front of you to your liking. It comes as a set so it was a perfect meal. Will be back with some friends!”

“Craving some good and authentic Korean food, I found my way back to Jin Cook and as usual, it did not let me down.ITEM'S ORDERED:Sweet Potato Cheese Curry KatsuSpicy Braised Beef Short RibGarlic SuYukMilitary SoupTASTE:Let me first mention that I'm half Korean to add some credibility to my review :) ;) I will say that the Kimchi here is probably my favorite out of all places. That is mainly because it has a slightly sweeter flavor and less sour than others that usually have that more pickled flavor. I was told that it's the owner's mothers recipe so that just makes it all the better.The Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib aka Galbi-jjim is a dish I've had before and is one of those flavors that just wants to make you keep on eating. The only thing that slows you down is how hot it is with it being in the stone pot. It's so savory, a little sweet and has a slight amount of heat. I will say that I do have a good tolerance for spicy food though. Besides the meat which is so tender, I really enjoy the pumpkin and rice cakes in the dish. Unless you are with 3 or more people, you'll most likely have leftovers.Sweet Potato Cheese Curry Katsu is a unique variation that I don't think I've seen at other places. There's a subtly sweetness that goes well with the cheese, pork, and crunch. Be careful when you take your first bite, it comes out and stays very hot.The Military Soup is one of those really comforting soups that'll make you feel good if you're under the weather. It's actually pretty spicy so be warned. The pork belly that came had a real nice flavor that adds to the dish overall.It was my first time having the Garlic SuYuk and it's as tasty as it is to look at. The pork is cooked perfectly and the garlic paste that it comes with has so much savory flavor, with the right amount of salt. I could really see this garlic paste tasting good on so many other dishes in general. The chili paste is not really hot but provides a slight chili flavor adding to everything else.SERVICE:The service was exceptional. Getting all the warm Korean welcoming vibes at this place just adds to the comfort food feel. They were really friendly and attentive the whole time.LOCATION & PARKING:They are basically located in a shopping plaza with an Albertson's so there is lots of parking. The interior is very comfy and warm with its abundant wood use making for a welcoming ambiance.If you are craving some delicious Korean cuisine you should definitely check this place out.”
“My parents have visited in the past and told me that whenever I’m in L.A. to check out Porto’s. Well, I came down from Vegas for the day and as I was getting ready to head back I made sure to stop by the store in Buena Park to pick up some goodies as I was coming from Huntington Beach.I picked up a selection of savory and sweet items to try out. As I am half Cuban I remember eating the same items as my grandmother made and sure enough the items I picked out had spot on flavor. Next time I’m back in Southern California I am going to purchase even more to bring back. The price per item is really inexpensive as well.The bakery inside is large with plenty of seating. They have 2 counters to order from as well as a side cafe.”

“Highly recommend this place! It’s so good for a great price. You get a great amount of food too and it’s always fresh.I have gotten my friends and co workers into this place and they weren’t disappointed. The service is great too! It makes me keep coming back. If you’re in the Buena Park area, check them out. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Chocolate Cake Shake. Dipped beef with hot peppers is to die for. This is genuine good Americana cuisine.All you tourists in the captive audience parks...wait till you get out and eat at Portillos.”

“Seems simple. Looks like maybe "i could make this at home" but it is not. It is 10/10 actually and unironically the best thing ive had all year. And i get sushi ALOT. This is great. And i think other ppl have noticed too cuz ive been here twice an hour before closing and they've run out.”
“This Denny’s has a great environment and super friendly staff that are welcoming. Shoutout to David who did a fantastic job being our waiter and making sure our experience was great.”
“A popular coffee shop often busy with customers. Have outside patio tables and chairs facing Beach Blvd. Maybe hard to find parking nearby when other stores will open later as it is being remodelled. Coffee tastes fresh and sour and mild coffee.”

“(Disclaimer, i do not know the difference between "authentic" korean food and "fast food" korean food) i've been going back and forth about this review whether or not this was a 4 or 5 star review. I went ahead with 5 stars because ultimately the flavor prevailed. i want you to imagine Panda Express or Chipotle but KBBQ. My suggestion is to actually have customers walk the line vs order at a kiosk and then wait for your number. Ultimately I feel like the wait will be similar and it's visually appealing to the customer knowing the last piece is just to pay and you'll enjoy your food. Prices were reasonable however you get more veggies vs. meat. The favor is ultimately top tier. I prefer my bulgogi to be with a slight char but this was authentic (i think) The banchan (not pictured) was fresh and so good! The spicy cucumber and fish cakes are my favorite! I can eat those with white rice and be done! This place needs all the flowers because it is unique in its own way and very good. Peeked in the back of house and saw what looked like quality ingredients. (based on videos i've seen on social media about korean cooking lol)”

GOB CHANG
“Walked in on a Saturday night - it wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. We ordered the Choose 3 Combination (M), Kimchi Cold Noodle, and Beef Tartare. Service was fast and the staff were great! The Kimchi Cold Noodle was super refreshing and cuts the fattiness of the intestine. The beef tartare was also very fresh and a generous portion. There were only 2 of us so we had a lot of leftovers to take home haha. A solid gobchang spot!”

Outdoor Dining
“the korean food here was amazing all three items were delicious! one of the best boneless korean fried chicken ive had! the chicken was so juicy and flavorful and amazing with the rose sauce. breading is a little much but besides that chicken was good. not pictured was the kimchi fried rice but that was perfect too! it was busy since it was a late saturday night but we ended up getting seated outside and it was so fun! music and service was amazing and chris and dana were so nice! it was our first time but me and my friends will definitely be back! the photo booth was a great addition!”
“Been coming to this one here for 2 years. Food is always good. There is always a wait. UPDATE: The wait is long but it's worth it! Update 4/8/24 : Same great location. The wait is faster than ever!”
“Went in for early Easter breakfast, very cute local spot. The food was delicious and the price was very affordable. I ordered the breakfast burrito was very yummy. The service was very quick and the servers checked up us on a lot. They kept asking us if we needed anything or if we needed coffee / water refills.”
“Fun for kids because of games and prizes, I had a salad bar which was really fresh and good we split the Mojo Potatoes which I love. My bf got the chicken and he liked it. Many beers to choose from. Long wait to order only 1 cashier though 5 people working on the pizza side were talking and laughing and they could of helped out.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly”
“Food was delicious! I really enjoyed the ambience with my fellow classmates. We all ate the ramen and had a yummy appetizer which was both very filling. Service was excellent with the servers coming out every 5 minutes.”

“Due to a deadline, I didn't stop to eat any of their food, but it sure smelled wonderful!Knott's Berry Farm, is quite a distance from me, so I am infrequently in the area. But...I know there is a Broken Yolk Cafe in the City of Orange. I look forward to trying their food.Parking: Plenty of parking spots were available.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, they make it easy to get inside the restaurant.”
“I love the fruit Belgian waffle here but it's always so crowded that there's no place to sit and they used to give your cappuccino in a mug with nice pictures in the foam. This time it was in a paper cup”
“Was a little confusing at first when walking in, they had a menu you can look at as soon as you walk in and the confusing part is there is a kiosk for order strictly to charge either credit or debit cards if you want to pay cash you have to wait for someone to attend the register. You can choose from different types of Ramen or udon noodles or a platter with rice or a bowl of rice with whatever toppings. It's on the pricey side but the food is pretty good in flavor. Restaurant is kept clean and even has a dine in patio.”
“The best place to eat if you are craving ssam! It’s a bit pricey but so worth it. If you have a large party coming in def reserve because we waited like 30 mins. (worth it)The shop is a bit run down and small but it’s not hard to find parking.”
“Great customer service from “NATE” . Young gentleman with respectful manners and good customer service. Nate Took care of my family very well on Sunday April 14th, 2024. He was very attentive and helpful with any questions we had. He also gave us a few recommendations on desserts . I also let the Manager “Ed” know that he is doing a great job at training theses workers with the best customer service around. The food was ready within about 10 minutes or less from ordering the food. The food came out nuce and hot. A nice place to watch a sports game and have some drinks and food with the family or friends. My family and I Will definitely be back from the San Gabriel Valley . Keep up the great work!!”
“The regular ramen is so delicious. Especially, the broth is rich in flavor. The rolls we had together are also tasty, and the staff are friendly. I recommend it to everyone.”
“Tried this place and liked. Wings are larger than WingStops so that is great. I think you get a fair deal for your money. As one who has worked in the industry and knows sometimes things happen beyond your control. I liked that they owned up to mistakes made and tried to correct (posted complaints). I have had issues with places and they don't own up and ignore complaints. I understand that some complaints are competitors and or bogus but at least try to seem like you care. They seem to care. Again, I recommend over other local wing places in the area.”
“Beautifully decorated Japanese restaurant that offers mouthwatering dishes such as omakase and yakitori. The presentation of their food is really lovely and I'm glad to say that the food tasted as good as it looks. I really love their Mentaiko Pasta, the noodles were perfectly cooked and the sauce was so flavorful. And I love the assorted Yakitori we ordered, I got to try a variety of meats and is perfect for sharing. Definitely one of the best spots inside The Source, I highly recommend if you're around the area for a fun and delightful dining experience!”
“The food was great! I had the Wagyu Galbi which is short ribs with rice, cole slaw and kale salad. Very delicious. The food was prepared quickly. The sides were good and the meat was excellent. Tender well and well seasoned. I will be going back here. Limited number of tables to eat at inside.Parking: Reasonable amount of parking, I'm sure at lunch it's crowded”

“A soft tofu restaurant located in the Buena Park area of Los Angeles. In LA, it is a Korean restaurant as famous as 'BCD Bukchang-dong Soft Tofu' and is a restaurant where you have to wait. There is a jangseung standing right at the entrance, giving a Korean feel. The interior is spacious, and as expected from a specialty restaurant, there are 14 different types of soft tofu. In addition, you can taste a wide variety of Korean food, including pot rice, bulgogi, ribs, galbitang, kimchi stew, naengmyeon, pork cutlet, and bossam. The food tastes the same as eating it in Korea and is very delicious. There are a variety of side dishes and they are all delicious. In the case of soft tofu, there are as many as seven levels of spiciness, so you can choose to suit your taste. Since the rice is served in a stone pot, it is nice to be able to cook rice by pouring water into the stone pot after taking out the rice. This is a restaurant I want to visit again.”

“First Time here around 5-6pm on a Tues. not busy at all. Best Sushi Fish was really Fresh I had in awhile you order and pay first and server brings it to your table.”

“The place is great. The best service manager walks to the tables. waitresses are really great food is really perfect family was was really happy with everything.”
“Delicious fried cornish hen with coconut rice! Also, the house-made sambal was soo good! I wish they sold it in a bottle! The lady server was very nice and helped chop my chicken smaller :) Hubby had borneol rice plate, but I was busy grubbing down my food that I forgot to take his. I definitely will come back!”
“Haiku: Thai Addict Cuisine Bold, spicy flavors I come for the lunch specials Affordable meals. --- I love Thai food and lunch specials (Mon-Fri, 11a-3p), so I naturally gravitated to this restaurant. Lunch special items start at $12.95 (depending on what protein you choose) and come with salad and egg roll. I ordered the Pumpkin Curry and it was a generous portion. I liked how soft and creamy the pumpkin was and the crunch from the bell peppers. I felt the curry was on the sweet side, maybe a bit too sweet. I also ordered the Pad Thai and that was too sweet as well. Just note the dishes are made Medium Spicy, but you can adjust the spice level. I ordered a mild and it was the perfect amount of heat. Service was okay. They were nice, but not as attentive. It was getting busy in the restaurant and we had to flag someone down to take our order, grab to-go boxes, and get our bill. The restaurant is located in a strip mall. The inside has a nice, modern aesthetic and is a good place for large groups. I would come back again though and try their other lunch special menu items. Hopefully their other dishes aren't too sweet.”
“Not everything on the menu was available which was disappointing. I was hoping for a lighter beverage but had to settle for the typical thick and heavy drinks. They were accomodating with sweetness level, as I am not too big on sweets--although I found 25% sweetness to still be too sweet for me. This location is more spacious than the one in Westminster. They also have a nice outdoor seating section with heatlamps but it was super windy the evening I went.”
“What a gem hidden inside of a corner liquor store!Popped into here for lunch with my dad (a syrian man, born and immigrated, so he knows his arabic food).I had the chicken shish tawook plate, he had the falafel "tacos"Both items were excellent. The value was high, the service was friendly... and if I didn't mention it the food was great.Ambiance was kind of funny being in a liquor store to order, but i've had great food in all kinds of gas stations.. so why not?”
“Overall, it's a commendable Korean restaurant. The fish was notably fresh; however, I found most of the side dishes to be unsatisfactory. I suggest they consider reducing the variety of side dishes and increasing the portion of fish on the plate. Additionally, they should offer customers the option to choose a menu with or without side dishes, as many patrons may prefer a simpler meal focused on the fish.”
“I love sushi & pasta. Ki sushi had mouthwatering options for both. My brother and I came here for a late lunch and ordered the mentaiko pasta, ki house roll, and sakedon. The service was very friendly. The food came out relatively quickly (~10-15min). The place is a bit darker than what I'd prefer but it was alright! Mentaiko pasta was a 10/10!! It's not the creamiest pasta or too strong on mentaiko! very clammy but super tasty! The ki house roll was SO GOOD. also 10/10. I loved the taste, crunch, and avacado + spicy tuna. Awesome combo. The sakedon was also really fresh. It had a bit too much other stuff in the bowl and less salmon than I expected but it was still good quality!”
“I stopped by this place during lunch hour, I was recommended th Gamja Tang Lunch special by the waitress how seem to primarily speak Korean (good sign the food is legit).The plate was huge and it came in with plenty of little side dishes, as you can see on the picture.Price was super affordable for all the food I was served.This is the first time I've tried this specific plate, but based on pure taste buds, the food was great and I would love to come back to try the rest of the menu.”
“Just stopped in for phoned-in takeout and decided to wait at the bar. Dennise was awesome with a great greeting, excellent service and knew when to check on us and when to leave us be. The atmosphere was great and we ended up staying much longer than scheduled??The takeout order was accurate and exactly as anticipated. We appreciate that you can depend on the consistency of their delicious food regardless of what location you’re at.This isn’t our local Black Angus but when we are out this way we will definitely stop in.”
“If you’re visiting the Buena Vista area in Cali, the Pirates Dinner Adventure is a must. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was, especially the mashed potatoes.The adventure portion of the evening was very entertaining, lively and interactive. Movement all around and above.We had a blast and will revisit ❤️”
“My son and I dined here for breakfast. We both had the American breakfast, eggs, bacon and toast. The eggs were good, mine over easy and my son liked his scrambled. The toast was good as were the potatoes. The OJ was also good. We enjoyed it so much we both had the same breakfast the second day.”
“Great place for food family and friends , service is very fast and courteous.They go out of their way to make authentic Egyptian fair in a perfect flavor and home style.There is not another restaurant that comes even close , thank you Zizi and your diligent staff for wonderful time and a wonderful meal.”
“The vibes after 9pm is immaculate. I love taking my friends here to eat and drink. You got to get the oden soup bar, corn cheese, fries, spicy chicken wings, and bossam. The salad accompanying the bossam was such a highlight. Service here adequate. It's a place with good vibes and a great place to make memories.”

“Not AYCE but lots of side dishes including cheese corn, poached eggs, another egg dish, bean paste soup or kimchi stew. Very good and attentive service and excellent staff. The unmarinated beef was the best. The chadol was a little tough. But the rice paper, pickled radish, dipping sauce, and salad made the meal delicious.”

“Service was fast and friendly, my order came out quick, and the dining room was very clean. One of the nicest and well kept Carl’s that I’ve been too.Parking: Nice big lot, easy to park and walk in.”
“ONE OF THE GIRL THAT WORKS IN THE MORNING HAS REALLY GOOD COSTUMER SERVICE IF NOT PERFECT...AND NOWDAYS I DEEPLY APPRECIATE THAT...VERY PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE THANK ”
“I come here almost every night. And it’s always perfect from the service to the fresh hot food. Specifically one guy is the best though every single time, give Carlos a promotion or a raise cause he deserves it”
“The overall time was great just some minor corrections for an ideal experience could work on setting of dine in and dine out orders would of been better if the lady serving me was friendly but I understand how stressful work can be. Good job management keep up the good work your little acts of kindness go a long way”
“For sure they are doing the good for the best of God's kingdom..this place is good to eat..those kids are doing a great job..corporate should be proud of them.”
“Always quick, I'm reviewing specifically to leave a good word about SHELBY M. She was very kind and patient even during rush hour, but still got orders out in a timely manner. Great job to the team in the back, but I loved her customer service (: even told me to get home safe seeing that I was on an e scooter and it's night time. Thanks again!”
“First time visit. Went with Korean friend. We had one of their set meals. Per friend, the food was more traditional than other Korean restaurants. It was good but I was not used to some of the flavors. The restaurant was very clean and decor was beautiful. Service was excellent though my friend did all the talking in Korean. With tip, total was -$180 for two and we did not have any alcohol.”
“Loved the food and atmosphere was really good. I think they serve chinese/korean food here. It was my first time visiting so we had some recommendations from sean ( our waiter) and ordered sweet and sour pork, spicy lamb kebob, beef kebob , and assorted vegetable with glass noodle. Our server came back frequently to check on our table. It was great experience overall. But only downside is that price is little bit too high. Other than that , food and service was excellent.”
“I submitted and ate Kingsley's Pizza. I paid $30+tax. My family of 5 ate deliciously and well. I liked it because it wasn't salty like the ones I eat in Korea, but I felt a bit nauseous after eating it. I'll have to try something else next time. May you ”

“My family and I are visiting California from Hawaii, and we wanted to find a coffee place near our hotel so I told them we should try this place. We got the hot chocolate, cafe latte, salted caramel latte, oreo latte, and croffles. Everything was carefully curated and tasted really good. Definitely will come here again during our stay!”
“Finally made it here!! My husband and I went here for date night recently and we ordered the two kinds of meat, the creamy udon, and the cheese tonkatsu. We happen to come on a Friday night a little after they open and luckily it wasn't busy just yet. The service was really fast and the quality of the meat was amazing! The cheese tonkatsu was a bit heavier so by the time we finished grilling our meats and eating some of the udon, we were too full to finish the cheese tonkatsu. The creamy udon is a beef curry udon with a topped layer of this special cream that has this grainy texture similar to mashed potatoes. It was good to try, but I wouldn't get it again. I'll probably try the other noodles that they offer. I really enjoyed the concept of grilling the meat in front of you to your liking. It comes as a set so it was a perfect meal. Will be back with some friends!”
“They're always a hit when I order lumpia party tray for my gatherings with friends. Honestly this place is amazing and runs a really affordable lunch special $12 for 2 sides and rice”
“Old place but I guess the ownership was changed 2 yrs ago.They serve very nice crispy donkatsu, not slim meat and serve Korean old fashioned cream soup.Not too long wait but Tasty Dinkatsu!Not too expensive but enough portion and nice sevice.”
“The best ? place to take out meals , super clean and rich menu, kind and friendly owner , he takes your order withnice smile ? % recommended ?Vegetarian options: So goooooooood”

“It was our first time here and I have to say THE BROTH WAS SO SAVORY. We got the pho tai with the Mor special for an extra $4 which was a very good deal. They only have thin pho noodle here but the noodle was perfectly done. One of the thing about this place is that the portion was super huge compare to other pho places in OC. Service was great and fast during their rush hours. The restaurant has a very artsy and hipster vibe. We would definitely come back again when we are in the area for Knotts berry farm.”
“Not AYCE but lots of side dishes including cheese corn, poached eggs, another egg dish, bean paste soup or kimchi stew. Very good and attentive service and excellent staff.

“Sulrungtang, the traditional beef soup is great here. A great place for dining at anytime. Although prices are bit pricy. Highly recommend any items in this place.”
“Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai is like a noodle symphony for your taste buds! The broth is so rich, it's practically doing a backstroke in flavor town. The noodles are like the Michael Phelps of the ramen world – perfectly slurpable and champion-worthy. The only problem? I need them to start offering a loyalty program because I've officially become a ramen-a-holic. I might need an intervention, or just another bowl of their amazing ramen. Delicious addiction, here I come!”
“Everything really good here. Einspanner is so ? good and their "Healthy Cookie" is yummy when though it gets sold out quick. Always great customer service.”
“The friendly dessert place in town with a quick service. It is awesome to carry out for a cold iced coffee in an aluminum canned container. Will come back for more.”
“Overall, it's a commendable Korean restaurant. The fish was notably fresh; however, I found most of the side dishes to be unsatisfactory. I suggest they consider reducing the variety of side dishes and increasing the portion of fish on the plate. Additionally, they should offer customers the option to choose a menu with or without side dishes, as many patrons may prefer a simpler meal focused on the fish.”

“The menu has so much to choose from. The food was so good! I definitely want to go back! They have options for vegetarian meals as well.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options on the menu are a little hard to find because they are mixed in with all the other options, but the wait staff is really helpful. My coworker loved her vegetarian burrito.”

“I go to this place about 3 times a week lately. Oddly I’m a vegetarian, but they do have a meal for me, but I have to build it myself.most of the time it’s 100% right . I don’t eat scrambled eggs so they always have boiled for me. It’s like the only place in the city that does this for me. Sometimes it’s different but still great food. I’m always full when I leave . However I do have a request but everything is fine as it is . I’d like to request for Paul’s Place to put my vegetarian breakfast on the menu thank you so much in advance if you do appreciate the good cooking if you don’t.Vegetarian options: The food is really good honestly, anything you order without meat is going to be good. I’d even say the burgers substitute with onion zucchini instead of meat.”
“Use a coupon!!! Why is it that when I have a coupon for TWO French dip n Swiss sandwiches it only costs $7.79? Yet, I do not currently have a coupon, and through the Arby's app, one sandwich is going to cost $8 something? No thanks! I will wait for more coupons. I suggest everyone do the same!”
“My husband n I was visiting friends in Buena Park, we don't have a Wienerschnitzel where I live, it was good to be there, I've seen this before but it's been awhile since I've have their hot dogs n chili dogs. A. ”
“I always go through drive thru to get my customized white chocolate mocha coffee, it's pretty much spot on almost everytime I go, I love this starbuck because they get it right and they give great customer service. Great team of workers. (Orangethope and valley view in buena park)”
“Well I needed a quick bite and I know it's a chain and still change will vary from location to location. This one in Anaheim was just lovely. They were very friendly. I was very happy to find out that they had a chicken teriyaki bowl which was light enough after doing like 6 mi on my feet at the Wonder Con so I would give them a big A plus. And you know if I'm in Anaheim again and I need Jack in the box that's where I'll go”
“I ordered an oat milk regular latte for breakfast here through mobile order, and it didn't take long for the menu to be ready. The latte was very delicious.”
“Love the food, especially the chili dogs! The fries were a little overdone but good. The building is old but clean. The higher-ups should invest in updating the building. A building upgrade would make the restaurant more appealing to customers, and they would discover the tasty hot dogs! Yum!”
“Probably the fastest serving restaurant in the park when it's packed. Also I never got sick eating here. It's expensive just like every restaurant in the park though.”
“That new poblano quesidilla is an amazing, good size and full of flavor, with those green peppers. The service is friendly, and trying to be fast and do their best”
“No drive thru but great environment to be in staff are all really great. The temperature is just right. The food and services is unmatched! Charbroiled burgers are the best.”
“KFC, known for its iconic fried chicken, delivers a satisfying but guilty pleasure. The crispy, flavorful coating encases tender chicken pieces, and the aroma is undeniably enticing. Yet, the excessive grease can be overwhelming, making it an occasional treat rather than a regular meal choice. Sides like the mashed potatoes and coleslaw are decent accompaniments, but the biscuits often steal the show with their fluffy, buttery goodness. The menu diversity is a plus, offering various chicken options and combos. KFC's value for money is commendable, but health-conscious diners should indulge sparingly due to its high calorie and sodium content.”
“It's Ok but there's plenty of better choices (for better prices) nearby. I got a double cheese and chili cheese fries and they weren't bad, but also not great.”
“I can eat .. to well enough without over stuffed and satisfied. Good items menu has been reconstituted items removed or items that came back. Tasty and flavourful food.”
“I came in here to grab some breakfast before work even though Olivia was super busy she went out of her way to make sure I was taking care of with a big smile on her face I can see why she is the manger positive attitude and great customer service I'll definitely be coming back to this location! Once again thank you Olivia and your team you guys are awesome!”
“The lady that was working the drive-thru last night was exceptional she was very funny very nice I don't experience that too much at other Taco bells I've always had great experiences at this Taco Bell on Artesia and Beach boulevard. There's always wonderful people working there. Keep it up corporate needs to get on some of those other ones like magnolia and orangethorpe ☠️”

“They deliver a delightful Bibimbap experience. The dish boasts a colorful array of fresh vegetables, succulent marinated beef, and a perfectly fried egg. The harmony of flavors, coupled with the interactive mixing at the table, makes it a satisfying and flavorful choice for Korean cuisine enthusiasts. The gochujang sauce adds a spicy kick, rounding out this well-executed classic. Highly recommended for a tasty journey into Korean flavors.”
“This place is a notch up in service and experience I’ve had in Korean bbq spots. They change the grills after every meat they cook for you. ? The egg and cheese soufflé is dense and good. And the seafood pancake is ?!!!!”
“Honestly such a great spot. Food is delicious per usual, service was efficient and everyone is generally so kind (shout out to Benjamin!! He's one of the greatest and most welcoming!!) and yes ambiance feels homey, a great place to take friends and family. and the bathrooms are always clean. I've been here three times within the past two weeks--a comfort spot for sure.”

“Wow, these guys served some amazing tacos. I tried the Al pastor, carnitas, Asado, and suadero fillings. The Al pastor was the standout. Their condiments were good too. Definitely reminded me of Mexico City!”
“always great, glad i found this placeparking looks small but it's always been good enough so farquality food and relatively affordable prices.You can order ahead on their website or ”
“Great little brunch spot! They seem to be known for their shaved ice but their breakfast items are amazing! The avo toast has delicious ricotta on top. They also have an amazing french toast and other items. The macaron flavors are also super underrated! It's about $45-50 for a couple with coffee drinks and breakfast.”
“Got the combination pho and fries with the brisket and cheese on top and it was amazing!Super good and they also have unlimited noodles ◡̈Highly recommend giving them a try and getting both.”
“New favorite coffee shop! Starting off with the Strawberry Matcha Latte - matcha wasn't bitter, and the Strawberry wasn't overly sweet, with both flavors balancing out. Now onto their pastries...some of the lightest scones I've ever eaten. Their garlic bread is ?, and their croissants are made really well, with great layers in the croissants. Their kouign amann is made with various creams and were *chef's kiss*”
“Interesting Korean hot dog place--or rather more like a corn dog place, but with a Korean-style coating. It's definitely worth a try. Not really our vibe, as it's a little on the greasy side, but if you're younger or have an iron stomach, then enjoy!”
“I only recently discovered the delights of Yogurtland. It's a great place to go for a yummy pick-me-up. The flavors change periodically and this location is always spotless, the employees are always helpful. I highly recommend the honeydew flavor.”
“I have an obsession with their tripas tacos. The crunch with the spicy salsa, the soft warm tortilla and the refreshing radish bite after..i meannnn you just get it all. What more can you ask for. A reliable taco truck that serves great food and is a fast and easy meal! I dream about their tripas tacos! There is usually a line which speaks to how good their food is.”
“I've had in-sit on a couple of occasions. Their strawberry croffle was yummy, however it was not anything super special. Same goes for their strawberry matcha latte. I spent $7.25 on the strawberry matcha and I don't think I'll get it again. The drink is good- again nothing special nor worth $7.25. It's pretty crowded in here most of the time unless you go as soon as they open. Wait times for food and drink isn't too bad but if you go on the weekends or on weekdays near lunch time it may take a while to find an open seat.”
“We made a reservation for 7pm on a Friday night. Had to wait through a lot of Knott's Scary Farm traffic just to get in the parking lot though. Even though we had a reservation, we still ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes past that time, but we could see that there were open tables available. I figured since it is wide open inside, it'd be pretty loud, but it really wasn't bad. We could still hold a conversation and hear each other well, even though there were music videos playing and lots of people around us. Our servers were really attentive. Our main server had to take a break and was really transparent about handing us off to someone else. We ordered a Bloody Mary (spicy!! but safe), and a strawberry basil margarita (decent). For our meals we got the Bill Graham BBQ Chicken Pizza, which was excellent. It had lots of flavor, the perfect amount of cheese, and wasn't greasy or soggy at all. I'd be hard-pressed to order something different if we ever visit a R&B again! We also got the Blackened Chicken Pasta, which was very good too - just the right amount of spice, good flavors, and the chicken was perfect. Overall, we had a really good experience at Rock & Brews, and would come back if we're ever visiting the area again.”
“Came here for dinner and this place satisfied my jjajangmyeon craving! Definitely one of the better places to eat jjajangmyeon from! Their tangsuyuk was solid and their stir fried jjajangmyeon was appetizing. However, it seemed like their jjajang sauce got too salty towards the bottom. It started to remind me of soy sauce rather than jjajang. But it can be a one time thing! Great relaxing place to eat for this kind of food and service was friendly!”
“Good spot for some katsu. Place is busy & there is sometimes a wait, not any longer than 10 to 15 mins from my experience. The katsu is great very flavorful, crunchy, & the amount of food is definitely surprising that they serve you. All in all def a great spot to check out ?”
“Don Melt is hands down the best ice cream shop I've ever been to! Their plant-based ice cream blew me away with its creamy texture and delicious flavor. The staff were super friendly and helped me find the perfect scoop. Don't miss out on this gem of a spot! The owner is a nice, kind, beautiful Korean lady. It felt as if she was my own mother because of how she treated me. ❤️ ”
“The food here is good, and what I especially enjoy is the baked scallop roll on top of the California roll. The cashier, Azim, is friendly, and the sushi man is also a nice person. I was always satisfied.”
“I had discovered this spot on social media and had been dying to give it a try. We drove over an hour to check this spot out and omg, so worth the drive. Staff was friendly, donuts are huge and flavorful. The cream isn't too sweet, it's perfect”
“Very authentic Korean food, so glad Yelp pointed us in the right direction. Craving for some bossom and this place had some good menu items, ordered bossom of course, kimchi stew and seafood pancake, all very good, the banchan was excellent! The service was so friendly and they all speak English. Next time I'm going to try the jokbal for sure. Great first impression and we can't wait to come back for some more delicious Korean food.”
“I love sushi & pasta. Ki sushi had mouthwatering options for both. My brother and I came here for a late lunch and ordered the mentaiko pasta, ki house roll, and sakedon. The service was very friendly. The food came out relatively quickly (~10-15min). The place is a bit darker than what I'd prefer but it was alright! Mentaiko pasta was a 10/10!! It's not the creamiest pasta or too strong on mentaiko! very clammy but super tasty! The ki house roll was SO GOOD. also 10/10. I loved the taste, crunch, and avacado + spicy tuna. Awesome combo. The sakedon was also really fresh. It had a bit too much other stuff in the bowl and less salmon than I expected but it was still good quality!”
“I stopped by this place during lunch hour, I was recommended th Gamja Tang Lunch special by the waitress how seem to primarily speak Korean (good sign the food is legit).The plate was huge and it came in with plenty of little side dishes, as you can see on the picture.Price was super affordable for all the food I was served.This is the first time I've tried this specific plate, but based on pure taste buds, the food was great and I would love to come back to try the rest of the menu.”

“I found this place online. I told my family was going. We haven't been to a good buffet in quite some time. It's been since COVID in 2020. Well I tell you this place was excellent.

“Best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever had, the chicken I had with the boysenberry BBQ sauce was amazing and the boysenberry juice was really good too. The bread rolls were fresh and tasty. The waiters were very nice and even funny. I’ve been wanting to go back to this restaurant for months now.”
“If you don't have time for a sit-down dinner. This is just as good as the restaurant. Same wonderful chicken, sides, and biscuits. You can get anything from a 2-piece meal to a huge bucket of chicken. When we placed our order for the 3-piece meal, they asked if we wanted a beer growler or bottle of boysenberry wine. My wife likes wine more than beer, so I agreed to wine. The was surprisingly good., great berry flavor smooth finish and complimented the chicken, actually.”
“Craving some good and authentic Korean food, I found my way back to Jin Cook and as usual, it did not let me down.ITEM'S ORDERED:Sweet Potato Cheese Curry KatsuSpicy Braised Beef Short RibGarlic SuYukMilitary SoupTASTE:Let me first mention that I'm half Korean to add some credibility to my review :) ;) I will say that the Kimchi here is probably my favorite out of all places. That is mainly because it has a slightly sweeter flavor and less sour than others that usually have that more pickled flavor. I was told that it's the owner's mothers recipe so that just makes it all the better.The Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib aka Galbi-jjim is a dish I've had before and is one of those flavors that just wants to make you keep on eating. The only thing that slows you down is how hot it is with it being in the stone pot. It's so savory, a little sweet and has a slight amount of heat. I will say that I do have a good tolerance for spicy food though. Besides the meat which is so tender, I really enjoy the pumpkin and rice cakes in the dish. Unless you are with 3 or more people, you'll most likely have leftovers.Sweet Potato Cheese Curry Katsu is a unique variation that I don't think I've seen at other places. There's a subtly sweetness that goes well with the cheese, pork, and crunch. Be careful when you take your first bite, it comes out and stays very hot.The Military Soup is one of those really comforting soups that'll make you feel good if you're under the weather. It's actually pretty spicy so be warned. The pork belly that came had a real nice flavor that adds to the dish overall.It was my first time having the Garlic SuYuk and it's as tasty as it is to look at. The pork is cooked perfectly and the garlic paste that it comes with has so much savory flavor, with the right amount of salt. I could really see this garlic paste tasting good on so many other dishes in general. The chili paste is not really hot but provides a slight chili flavor adding to everything else.SERVICE:The service was exceptional. Getting all the warm Korean welcoming vibes at this place just adds to the comfort food feel. They were really friendly and attentive the whole time.LOCATION & PARKING:They are basically located in a shopping plaza with an Albertson's so there is lots of parking. The interior is very comfy and warm with its abundant wood use making for a welcoming ambiance.If you are craving some delicious Korean cuisine you should definitely check this place out.”
“My parents have visited in the past and told me that whenever I’m in L.A. to check out Porto’s. Well, I came down from Vegas for the day and as I was getting ready to head back I made sure to stop by the store in Buena Park to pick up some goodies as I was coming from Huntington Beach.I picked up a selection of savory and sweet items to try out. As I am half Cuban I remember eating the same items as my grandmother made and sure enough the items I picked out had spot on flavor. Next time I’m back in Southern California I am going to purchase even more to bring back. The price per item is really inexpensive as well.The bakery inside is large with plenty of seating. They have 2 counters to order from as well as a side cafe.”
“Chocolate Cake Shake. Dipped beef with hot peppers is to die for. This is genuine good Americana cuisine.All you tourists in the captive audience parks...wait till you get out and eat at Portillos.”
“Flip poly is one of those places that are just a vibe. I don't necessarily crave egg/breakfast sandwiches, but this one is good. I normally get the Bulgogi egg sandwich. I like that the bread is nicely toasted and buttery, the eggs are extremely fluffy, and the sauce is tasty and somewhat sweet. I think that the sandwich could use more bulgogi, but it's okay. I do agree with the other reviews that the sandwich is a bit misleading because the bottom third of the sandwich is just bread. Just keep that in mind when you're ordering the sandwich. Overall, I do like it and I would recommend trying it. I have also tried the green grape drink and I like it. It's light and refreshing. Perfect drink to wash down the egg sandwich. Make sure to get napkins because this gets messy pretty quickly.”

The atmosphere was great and we ended up staying much longer than scheduled??The takeout order was accurate and exactly as anticipated. We appreciate that you can depend on the consistency of their delicious food regardless of what location you’re at.This isn’t our local Black Angus but when we are out this way we will definitely stop in.”
“It's been many years that my wife and I have been this Claim Jumpers location in years. I remember I took my wife then my girlfriend for dinner it was a nice time. We decided to have dinner after celebrating my wife birthday at Knott's Barry Farm just the two of us. We were greet by the hostess then took us the our table then she hand us the menu.We were surprised the menu changes I remember it was like book but now smaller but also have Claim Jumpers classic meals. We were looking at menu new items and also the classic. My wife order the chicken Fried Steak and I order the chicken bake and also order two house salad and our drinks. The waitess brought us our house salad they good salad then she brought our meals.The Chicken Fried Steak and chicken bake looks really good especially my chicken bake it a baked potato with chicken and vegetables and melted cheese on top the baked potato. First bite great flavors like the chicken full of flavors combine with the fresh vegetables and the melted cheese on top the bake potatoe add it more flavor the melted cheese add it more flavor in the dish.My wife enjoy her chicken Fried Steak we both enjoy our meal and service was amazing the waitess was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.”

“A very zen kind of coffee shop. I tried the mojito americano, I took a wild leap! I would have never paired coffee and mint myself... but it's absolutely delicious. A refreshing taste, combined with good coffee flavor. I will continue to come and try other items.”
“Loved the food and atmosphere was really good. I think they serve chinese/korean food here. It was my first time visiting so we had some recommendations from sean ( our waiter) and ordered sweet and sour pork, spicy lamb kebob, beef kebob , and assorted vegetable with glass noodle. Our server came back frequently to check on our table. It was great experience overall. But only downside is that price is little bit too high. Other than that , food and service was excellent.”
