Restaurants in Fountain Valley

“Super cute spot for brunch! A bit of a hidden spot off the main road. My breakfast platter was a mixture of various in-house made items with a little mix of sweet and salty. Very cute interior and kind family running the restaurant.”

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.”

“Amazing Pho, beautiful balance of flavours, we got the veggie and tofu. And the fresh tofu salad rolls. Service was high standard. The staff member was so friendly and attentive. Loved our lunch 😋”

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.”

“Good vibes only! Good foods! Good friends!”

“Great hole-in-the-wall place to get authentic, freshly made Turkish food. The food is not heavy, but nutritionally diverse, and satisfying - it's a great alternative to McDonald's or Costco food after visiting Costco or Costco Gas.”

“Very good environment and food!”

“Everything was excellent! Service was top notch as well.”

“Friendly staff and service. Broth is flavourful, full of meats and the bowl is very generous.”

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.”

“First time eating there, very nice place food was delicious and the servers was great 😊”

“Super yummy ! Had a appetizer platter and dessert !”

“Delicious coconut oatmeal iced coffee the barista made me!”

“Great selection of delicious vegan food. Server was accommodating and gave great recommendations for our kiddos.”

“Excellent food and very friendly service. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants now ! Definitely recommend 😊”

“I had the lahmacun at Adana Grill and it was absolutely delicious. Thin, crispy, and full of flavor just like in Turkey. The service was friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. I’ll definitely come back!”

“It definitely has the diner vibe which I love. Food was delicious. Amazing service! Bacon was so good and crispy. I don’t usually like crispy bacon. Eggs fluffy and tasty.”

“Tried this gem for the first time today! Fall off the bone chicken and salmon Alfredo with fresh vegetables was delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious. Definitely a new favorite!”

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!”

“This place is the real deal. Easily one of the best fish and chips I've had in Orange County if not the best so far. You might convince yourself the near $30 price tag at places like santa monica seafood would give you better fish and chips but it's not the case. the batter here is crispy and much more delicate. not heavy and greasy like the beer battered options. I paid $12 for 3 giant pieces of fish. the value is fantastic and the quality is good. only complaints are that the inside can use a thorough dusting (don't look at the fan) and that the fries have potential to be a lot better. tbh if the fries resembled something closer to European chips I would pay another $10 for this plate happily.”

“Such a fun atmosphere! Great live band playing that night, so much fun. Didn't have food, but drinks were cold and service was fantastic! Friendly quick and considerate. Definitely would come back. 😊”

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.”

“The croissants were crisp on the outside, buttery and flaky inside. The bread loaves were excellent. I had just returned from Switzerland and was used to bakeries with fresh daily baked goods. This is a great find.”

“Daniel super friendly and kind server! We really appreciated the kindness and alert to attend to my friends that we invited to Nep Cafe for the first time. They all love the food, ambiance, and the server. We will all come back soon ^^ Thank you for the best food and Daniel!”

“valuable, set lunch very good. especially Chai Siu Fired rice, homemade Chao Siu is really taste good.”

“It was our first time here and we absolutely loved it! The quality of the sushi and the flavor were outstanding. We will definitely come back! Thank you for the wonderful service and food! 🙏🏻👏🏼”

“I’m so happy I found this place. I don’t eat out often as quality of food and ingredients are very important to me, but this place satisfies that while also offering great tasting food. It’s food you can feel good about eating. Will definitely be coming back here!”

“Ugh.... First the driver delivers half of our order with half of someone else's order. We ordered 2 small pizzas, large chicken caesar salad and 2 large meatballs. We received our two pizzas with someone else's small pizza and mozzarella sticks. We called the store, told them what happened. The other lady missing her food had already called. So they will send a salad and meatballs (and yes, we offered to pay for the extra pizza and mozzarella sticks). 45 minutes later the salad arrives with NO dressing. And 8 tiny meatballs... Bummer!!! PS: We still love you FCP!”

“Very tasty! I got the soy sauce fried chicken and soon tofu soup with dumplings. I would eat another plate of chicken right now if I had it. I got medium spicy soup but it was pretty mild, someone else at our table got very spicy and said it was mild as well. I'll probably try it a level or two spicier next time, but your mileage may vary.”

“I had an amazing dinner here with my friends and I love to go here again I def recomend to my friends from vietnam this place super delicious and juicy chicken makes my mouth water”

“I cannot understand how Momoyama has anything less than a perfect five star rating.

We weren’t aware that it was single seating omakase as we happened upon this restaurant. We arrived an hour before their seating and they mention we had to make a reservation. We ended up getting the last one for the evening. We shopped around the area until it was time.

When we came back, the manager, Ryan, greeted us by name and guided us to our seat, even allowing space for my purse. There were seven total guests for the evening all seated at the bar in front of the chefs.

Ryan kindly introduced the chefs and everyone made us feel so welcome. He recommended the most delicious sake I have ever had, and continued to monitor our drink levels, refilling as needed. We didn’t need to ask for anything even once.

The food itself was one of the top three meals of my life, and I’ve eaten at many sushi restaurants, and Michelin star restaurants. As a fan of sauces and soy sauce, I was worried there wasn’t any offered, but each bite was so perfectly balanced I didn’t need anything else.

The pacing of the meal was appropriate, and I remarked how smoothly each dish came out considering this can be quite difficult with multiple parties and different eating speeds. But we never felt rushed nor like we were waiting on anyone.

The care and attention to detail was present in every morsel, every moment, down to the elegant quiet jazz music. Ryan and our chefs made warm chit chat without disturbing our dinner. We felt comfortable even with the high quality of food and service (which can sometimes make one feel like they need to “perform formality”).

The evening was the most delightful surprise and I can’t wait to go back. I will never stop recommending Momoyama to friends and visitors for the most elegant and delicious sushi in Orange County.”

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.”

“I have been to many Thai restaurants but this one stands out with tastety food and outstanding service .... strongly recommend you to try their food”

“Very good Thai food. Staff were very friendly. Good price for portions.”

“Excellent food and service. Thanks Jonathan for all you do to help out the community.👍”

“I went there for the first time I ordered 5 piece sashimi was very good and fresh ordered twice and delicious oysters omg 😳 and sashimi scallops was outstanding I give this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“everything was just great, even the beer.”

“We came in an hour or so after they opened on a Friday and there was only one other table occupied.

The food was amazing!!! We ordered the spicy cajun edemame, crispy pork, and tom yum seafood fried rice. All three dishes were wonderfully prepared! Great job to the chefs!

The only thing lacking was the service, but the staff was young, but I would venture to guess that they will learn and the service will get better in time.

We will definitely be returning soon and recommend giving them a try!”

“An Evening at Kin Izakaya: Where Tradition Meets Ambiance In the culinary haven that our city embodies, Kin Izakaya emerges as a sanctuary of authentic Japanese flavors combined with the convivial spirit typical of Japan’s iconic gastropubs. It’s here that tradition and modernity collide to create not just a meal, but an experience worth savoring. The moment you step through the doors of Kin Izakaya, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s both lively and intimately comforting. The ambient lighting, coupled with rustic décor and understated oriental motifs, offers a welcoming reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The soft murmur of patrons engaged in animated conversation sets the backdrop for an authentic izakaya experience. Kin Izakaya’s menu is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese fare and innovative culinary creations. The tapas-style dishes, perfect for sharing, encourage a communal dining experience. From the delicate flavors of their sashimi to the robust, savory notes found in their yakitori selection, there’s a delightful complexity in each dish presented. The agedashi tofu, with its perfect crispy exterior giving way to silken tofu within, is a testament to the chef’s prowess in honoring traditional flavors while serving contemporary palates.”

“The best ramen you will ever eat anywhere. Great service. Great prices. Worth the wait.”

“Love this place for breakfast very tasty menu❤️”

“Hi there , I just received my DoorDash order
I called for a small request and the young man working this morning (6/23) made my açaí bowl perfect ! Thank you ,
I didn’t catch his name , but wanted to give him a shoutout ✨ keep up the great customer service”

“one of my main source of food...as the kitchen in my house sucks. I just love the personality handing me the care package of nutrition and love at my door.”

“When we arrived, we were a few minutes past our reservation but the restaurant had no problem seating us immediately. They selected a really nice spot for us and the host and waiter were both friendly. It took us a bit to order, and the waiter accommodated us and even commented on he understands because he also has kids. Overall the food was great and the prices were right in line with what you would expect to pay for a good meal. We will continue to return to this black angus.”

“I moved to Louisiana a couple years ago and miss this place sooo much!! Mama is so sweet. She always took care of me! One time my blood sugar dropped while i was waiting for my naan and she fixed me up a little plate so fast and sat with me to make sure i was ok. The food there is delicious! I can’t find it here like they make it! My favorites are vegetable korma - saag aloo - and chicken tiki masala!”

“Good Service I went with my family. They serve the water and the cups were were greasy so they didn’t wash them good so I didn’t drink the water. ”

“This location actually gets the order right 3/3 they had sauce, burgers, sides, drinks every thing right! Another location got everything wrong 3out 3 ( i tried 3 separate orders)... Thank you for going above and beyond! Will be coming here from now on.”

“Elvira Garcia the store Manager is Amazing. The other staff members are awesome. It's always so clean and food is excellent. I would recommend to all my friends and family.”

“Most underrated, sushi spot for miles around, HB/FV (trust me, I eat a lot of sushi and i know what's up). I live in DT HB and drive to fountain Valley just to come here. Great rolls, great prices. Small place though, so it gets busy sometimes. I'm shocked there isn't an hour long wait every night. They keep to the basics, for the most part. Nothing too exotic, just solid, solid rolls and sashimi. Best salmon skin roll I've ever had. Best Hamachi kama. Best fresh, hot green tea. Fire in the hole roll, 747 roll, yellow rose roll, baked lobster roll... you can't go wrong. Karen and Daniel put it down for FV. Not a fancy place, but best value by far in the HB area.”

“Tony knows how to do it right... will recommend”

“Moonlight Pizza and Chicken – Hidden Gem -Middle Eastern / Mediterranean buffet

I came across Moonlight Pizza and Chicken while exploring near Westminster and it turned out to be an incredible find. They offer a Middle Eastern open buffet that’s truly unbeatable for the price — $14.99 for lunch and $15.99 for dinner. Honestly, for the variety and quality, it’s an amazing deal.

The buffet spread is full of authentic flavors — the lamb stew was juicy and flavorful, the stew was rich and comforting, and the tabbouleh, hummus, and fresh salad options were top-notch. Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned.

What makes it even more special is that this is a family-owned restaurant with over 30 years of history. You can really feel the warmth and hospitality in the service — the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They also offer catering services, which I can easily imagine being a hit for any event.

The food has a wonderful blend of Turkish, Armenian, Arabic, and Persian influences, making the flavors both unique and familiar at the same time. It’s a place where you’ll want to go back again and again, not just for the food, but also for the atmosphere and kindness of the people running it.

Great value
Authentic flavors
Warm, family-owned feel

Definitely a spot worth visiting — delicious food, amazing people, and a buffet deal that’s hard to beat.”

“This is my favorite raw vegan restaurant! They also have a large menu of cooked vegan (or maybe that should be the other way around). I haven't tried their cooked food, but it looks absolutely delicious! I have not been to LA or the area in many years, and I am missing Au Lac!”

“The food is fantastic, the staff is very friendly. There is plenty of seating if you want to come with a bigger group. The outside seating has plants all around and looks gorgeous. Place is very clean and well maintained. The prices for the food is nice , you get amazing portions for the price. It is definitely become one of my favorite spots and will come here more often when I'm around the area. If you haven't already you need to try food at this spot!”

“I've had several of their pizzas and they never disappoint. 😋

Barbecue Chicken Pizza 👍
Pastrami Pizza 👍
Deluxe Pizza 👍
Baked Wings 👍”

“Flavor flavor flavor so bomb. I think everything is made in house. They have like 200 different types of baklava. Hahaha. I think it's 6 or 8 but they also have a rice pudding that's really Good. Come to think of it. I've never been let down on anything I've eaten at this place. I believe it's family owned and operated. I live an hour and a half away every time I'm in the area. This is my go-to spot”

“Absolutely loved it here. The food was amazing. ❤️”

“Great service 👏 they actually answered the questions I had ! especially on the ice coffee horchata
They make their horchata by scratch they don't add no powder horchata, which I was very satisfied
The cookies are huge and delicious. My wife loves cookies, so she was very happy that I brought her here at this cookie spot 😋 and the banana pudding. It's great too ! The ice coffee horchata was 💯 really, really good they add cinnamon powder on top for free because there's other places that charge extra fee for some cinnamon powder 👍 if you're craving something delicious like cookies and ice coffee horchata. This is the spot!”

“Best atmosphere!! and Really good food!!!”

“For 20 years, after we have a family get together. Its been a tradition that we all have breakfast at the Magnolia Cafe before we all part ways. It’s always clean, the food is always delicious and the service has always been wonderful. It is truly a special establishment!”

“Awesome place to eat some good baked goods. drink some iced drinks and read comics.”

“I just wanted to say thanks to Madie and the tall young man with brown hair on Oct 24th thank you for making my first time at Papa Z's restaurant amazing and fun! You both were funny and handled my crazy new friends ordering food/ at the table. My BBQ chicken 🥗 was yummy and had lots of my favorites- no tomatoes perfect!! Hope you all have a lovely fall season and God bless!”

“This is the perfect place to get freshly roasted whole beans, or ground to your desire. When I say fresh, I mean today or in the last couple days! Good prices and truly nice and knowledgeable staff and owners. Quality beans from around the world, even flavored the way you want, and great teas, too. Many high-end bakeries and restaurants use their beans, too.”

“The staff were so friendly. As a student group from the University of Northern Colorado. We appreciated their kindness and great drinks.”

“Hell yeah! This chicken is one of the best. Juicy, crunchy, & very delicious and satisfying. Fast service can't go wrong with this place 👌 I definitely will return & recommend. Absolutely loved it.”

“My favorite place to order cookies! Cookies are excellent and the owner is so nice! I drive 20 miles to pick up my order. I send them to my kids all over the country.”

“Blue Coral - Vietnamese Cruisine. Very nice and clean environment. The service was excellent. And the foods is very delicious and good taste. I would like to make recommendations to all my friends and family members. 👍👍👍”

“So good and server are very friendly”

“Sushi Koto is always a treat for me. I love to come here for what I feel is the next best thing to eating in Japan. There is always a wait for Sunday brunch, but they do take reservations. Excellent service and friendly staff. This is definitely not your ordinary neighborhood Japanese restaurant. Highly recommend it!”

“You have to come by when Big D’s Blazin BBQ is there. Awesome Tru Tip & pulled pork food! No reason to leave the pool game to get something to eat. Laura serves awesome drinks.”

“I cant say much about the resuraunt and food itself but it's definitely the best drive-through drinks I've had in awhile, you can definitely tell they put some heart into those drinks! Drive through was quick too.”

“One if the best Pho's in the area hands down. The broth is VERY hot which i love. Ive had the chicken, beef, and shrimp pho and all are consistenly good. The noodles are firmer than most places but it works well since the soup is very hot and the noodles don't turn to mush.”

“Breakfast burrito was better than expected. It was very good actually, fluffy, not burnt, eggs, crispy, not oily hash browns, country potato's, and plenty of flavorful meat.
I have a hard time taking a pic of my food before I eat it. I really don't know how people do it 😜”

“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!”

“You know why you're here. This is the place you go to for big portions at a great deal. Everything is super tasty and the ladies helping are all super friendly. I share a combo with my fiance and we always have leftovers. Cheaper than eating fast food and bigger portions”

“It wonderful lunch time with family and coconut pine it very good 😋😋”

“Hidden gem! Needed a quick bite with the kiddos and tried this place. Glad I did because the food was amazing. I got the blue cheese bacon burger and it's one of the best burgers I've had. Patty cooked perfectly and all ingredients compliment each other. Yummmmmm.

The chicken tenders are better than average and good enough for the kids. They loved the shoestring fries so did I. They had a 2 player arcade cabinet that kept them occupied while waiting for the food.

Great place! Would eat here again!”

“I got the banh khot tom and they were so gooood! Light and crispy, goes so well with the sweet and sour fish sauce, remember me of the banh khot I had in Vung Tau a long time ago. A reminder to tell the cashier how much you want to tip as they can only add it before coming to the total bill, unless you do it in cash.”

“Al Pastor and Carnitas Tacos were on point! Carne Asada could have had some more char on it, but the flavor was there. Hand made tortillas and salsas are great! No Templeton sighting on this trip. 🐙”

“it was my first time, I enjoyed my French toast”

“Classic pizzeria style taste & atmosphere. Not something you see much anymore and I feel is a lost art. Very underappreciated, nice to see it alive here.”

“First time today we visited Yong's Donuts....Place was clean, the service was pleasant and quick...The Donuts, also Coffee were good....This shop had a nostalgic feeling of the 60's or 70's....

Not too cluttered, with ample seating available....”

“My husband and I are staying locally we looked for a highly recommended breakfast place via Google ❤️ this place is amazing 🤩 I ordered online, to go, & I love that they paid attention to our special requests 😋 great food 🍔 great donuts 🍩 great coffee ☕️”

“the coffee is a good price”

“Carlito's Diners food is outstanding! Their menu is hugh. Great breakfast, Mexican or American food and all is over the top good! Thanks you guys for the best Chile relleno I believe I have ever had!”

“As a first-generation immigrant from Portugal, I absolutely love knowing this place is in the Fountain Valley community. It reminds me of “home.” Thank you for being this little piece of Portugal! Que a presença de Deus encha Portugal!”

“They have the best Canh Chu Ca! Really really. My family has been going for years. We crave it. When we tried to go on a Tuesday and they were closed we went elsewhere but it just wasn't as good. Mirada cooks the fish so that it is still so succulent. The flavor of the broth is perfectly balanced and tart. Please give this place a try for healthy Vietnamese food.”

“Great customer service. Apologized several times for the wait. Helped me order a birthday cake to pickup in a couple of days. Very pleasant experience.”

“I recommend this sizzlers in Moreno Valley! Frida helped us out and was quick, friendly and efficient. Thank you so much Frida 😊”

“Been going for 60 years. Even during Thomasitos and Space Cat being open across from the Original Rampart/Beverly location. Always a favorite, 24/7”

“Best chicken and best sauce!”

“This is one of my go to spots to study when I wanna do work at a cafe. It’s pretty convenient to sit at where you can get a drink and some food.

It’s decently busy so there’s enough noise to keep my brain occupied when working and there’s usually at least a table or two open when it’s busy out. Some spots have outlets too and there’s WiFi to use.

Drinks are like every other 7 leaves, but you can have it either in a Togo or here cup. I usually get the parmesan fries if I want a snack or the ham & cheese croissant.

Very aesthetic and pretty inside. Also, I like the playlist they have in there.”

“Magnificent!!! ❤️Delicious,Fresh,Tasty. Excepcional products , wonderful service 👏🏻 , this is a Place you need to know . 😋”

“great food , great service . super clean. we will be back forsure”

“Salads are awesome! Service is 😕 if there was a zero, I would choose A big Zero ? We are not coming here anymore. The staff is terrible, one of the worst. My French toast sticks are spicy....😳 The AM crew is nasty ! I've had a medical problem and my husband goes in for me so I can eat before I take my meds, I can't cook. He doesn't want to go in here ...Anymore 🥺 Thank you Wendy's for allowing these kind of people to work here ! 😔”
