“First time eating there, very nice place food was delicious and the servers was great 😊”
“It was my first time dining at this restaurant, though they have been open for over a year! My friend and I had a wonderful time, but we were unaware of the fact that they closed at three so we had to hurry at the end! Next time I'll come in a little earlier! I like the fact that they're open during the daytime hours as that's when I prefer to dine! Every single course on the experience was delicious one after the other, we left completely seated and their homemade Yuzu ice cream that they make fresh Daly was a perfect dessert! We will be back! Service was excellent also and a really beautiful restaurant! Thank you, Ryan”
“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.”

“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.”
“Absolutely loved this place! The Turkish breakfast platter was amazing, everything was so fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The restaurant has such a warm, homey feeling, and the owners were genuinely so kind and welcoming. You can really feel the love and hospitality in everything they do. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to next time I’m in California ❤”
“Linh, our server was super friendly and pleasant. She always smile and attentive to her customers. You always feel happy to have her serve you. She's best at her jobs. She has great personality and superb skills with customers. Phở, rice with Salmon, rice with lemon grass chicken are so good. There portions are huge. Your money are well spent here. As for dessert, you also get free chè đậu xanh(mung bean sweet dessert) I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely come back again and again. Thank you Linh for your kind service ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆”

“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!”

“There is a sublime, almost religious satisfaction in sitting down in front of a live fire with a plate of raw, heavily marbled beef and a freezing cold beer. It’s an interactive theater of fat, smoke, and instinct. And if you want to experience this ritual at its absolute peak, you don't look for white tablecloths or corporate steakhouse polish. You look for a place that feels a bit tucked away, cozy, and smells instantly like caramelized soy, rendered fat, and sweet wood charcoal the second you open the door.
This is world-class Yakiniku.
You start with the yukke—the raw beef tartare. In lesser hands, raw beef can be a texture game with no payoff. Here? It’s seasoned with precision, rich, clean, and spiked with an egg yolk that ties the whole beautiful mess together. It’s a declaration of intent: we know meat, and we know how to treat it.
Then, the main event. Plates of A5 Wagyu, Kobe outside skirt, and prime beef tongue arrive, sliced with the kind of geometric reverence usually reserved for fine tailoring. The marbling on the Wagyu doesn't even look real; it looks like a geological map of some frozen, beautiful landscape.
You drop a piece onto the grill. It hisses. The fat hits the element, flares up, and perfumes the air. You don't leave it on long—just enough to get a quick sear, a bit of char, while keeping the inside beautifully rare. You dip it in the tare, put it in your mouth, and it simply ceases to exist as a solid. It melts. It’s an absolute explosion of umami that makes you want to close your eyes and laugh out loud at how absurdly good it is.
Even the sides here aren't an afterthought. The kimchi fried rice has that deep, fermented funk and spicy kick that cuts right through the luxurious weight of the beef, waking up your palate just in time for the next round of short rib.
It’s not a cheap night out, and it shouldn't be. This is a celebration of the animal, handled by people who deeply respect the craft, served in an atmosphere that strips away all the pretentious nonsense of high-end dining and leaves you with what matters: incredible food, good company, and the smoke in your hair. It is, quite simply, perfection.”

“💯 Honey sushi!! I couldn't have asked for a better restaurant. Thank you, Honeyi Sushi, for providing excellent service and delicious food. After spending the day coming from Disneyland, we were looking for a great spot to eat and were lucky enough to stumble upon this place.
I couldn't have asked for a nicer setting to sit down with my beautiful wife. Everything was reasonably priced, flavorful, and peaceful. I can't wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or traveling through the area!”
“Love the Lao Papaya Salad, Chinese Broccoli with crispy Pork Belly and mango with sticky rice. The young coconut juice in coconut is so refreshing and the meat is still on it and edible! Staff are friendly and bathroom, although one at a time, is clean and well maintained. Will definitely come back and try other things on the menu.”
“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 want that classic diner feel with great service and food to match? Papa Zs is the place my friend. In my youth it was the place to go when I was hungover with friends. Now it’s a place where I go with the family. I absolutely love this place!
Should you go to Papa Zs? Hell yah dude!”
“Came on a Wednesday afternoon and the place was pretty packed.
Nice decor and chill atmosphere but it could get quite loud.
Tried their Tom Kha pasta & coconut matcha. Flavor wise, the pasta surpassed my expectations but even I could use a bigger portion. The coco matcha tastes decent but is too sweet for my liking.”
“BBH Tom
The BBH tom yum tasted like the traditional tom yum dish with packed with toppings. Spice level 2 felt closer to a medium spice level. Overall, I loved the flavors of the dishes and will be coming back to try other menu items.
Customer
Service was okay, but it was a bit hard to get the staff’s attention at times when it’s not crowded.
We came before the dinner crowd, so the atmosphere was comfortable. It wasn’t too loud or too quiet — a nice balanced vibe for dining.”
“Fresh, healthy food with a super quick turnaround 🙌 The staff is genuinely friendly and the whole place is spotless every time I come in. You can tell they really care about both the quality of the food and the customer experience. Definitely a go-to when I want something clean, fast, and satisfying.”
“Every time I come here the food is amazing. The staff is kind and everything is so fresh and clean. I love Turkish food and so thankful to have a delicious place just around the corner from me!!”

“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.”
“I am from Miami & visiting & I bumped into this spot. Wish Cyber Wings was in Homestead Fl. Wings are banging!!!! The ranch sauce GREAT.
Cyber Fries with chicken was off the hook. If you haven't been here you need to support this place. Its awesome. Dudes working are good people.”
“The service here was efficient, and very welcoming. They offer samples and were very helpful with suggestions, and even offered samples before adding anything onto your order. They source some high quality ingredients that goes well beyond the pricing. I'd recommend this spot to anyone.”
“QUA Contemporary Chinese Cuisine restaurant in Fountain Valley, California is just great. Food 🍱 is very diversified and delicious. Creations are beautiful. Service is top. The salad 🥗, the fish, and the rice are distinctive. Thanks to Paton, Annie , Annie, and the whole team for a great service.”

“I come here because I sincerely like the owners. They’re extremely cool people. But the last two visits the food, in my opinion, has been simply gross. I hope they turn it around”

“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!”
“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!”

“Always a blast at the Blarney Stone! Regulars that will make your day and bartenders that know your drink! They are hard working and great people you will love them all no matter who is working! All the memories and Great Wall decor it’s worth checking it all out! Different things going on all the time no matter what day of the week! I go every time I visit Orange county! You may just find your people here !! Cheers!
(Also.. you can get food next door , just ask and anyone will tell ya! I recommend the carne asada fries)
Forever grateful for the people I have met here!”
“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.”
“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!”

Cheap Eats
“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!”
“This place NEVER disappoints. Every other pizza shop is a complete rip off and pales in comparison to the quality and price of this establishment. The pizza always comes out commercial ready, and I mean picturesque without sacrificing the taste. The ingredients are always fresh and their pies show. Do not believe me, try it for yourself.”
“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.”

“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.”

“I ate a double cheeseburger here today which is something I order often from McDonald’s. This is the first one I’ve ever had that was actually juicy! It was so well made and it also looked like the picture. The woman at the counter was very friendly and professional. One of my better McDonald’s experiences!! Five stars”

“Really enjoyed Re Ca Phe! The matcha was smooth, creamy, and had a nice matcha flavor without being overly bitter or too sweet. I especially liked the matcha with the creamy foam on top—it added a nice richness and made the drink feel a little more special. The presentation was beautiful too. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I’m craving a good iced matcha!”
“I've been looking for a spot with amazing jasmine matcha lattee and this place hits the spot. The two flavors matches perfectly together and it's not too sweet. It's a seasonal drink so I hope they keep it permanently. I don't really recommend their strawberry matcha but their jasmine matcha is so good that I will continue to come back as long as they continue to serve it.”
“This place has really good pizza. I would suggest you get the entire pizza instead of a slice. The fresh made pizza was obviously much better than the sliced pizza. The sliced pizza was probably sitting on the counter for a while and was reheated and didn't taste as good.”
“The place is located in a corner of a strip mall. There was only one table to sit and it was full. I think this is just order and go type of deal. The sticky rice was delicious and flavorful with the toppings. Mixture of sweet from sausage and savory. Lychee was a perfect combo to wash all of that down.”
“I saw the reviews of this place and kind of got discouraged but it’s close to my house so we tried it. Honestly? Why are people complaining, the food was absolutely amazing and fresh. The bean and cheese was chefs kiss- and the tacos were amazing. People always be complaining 🙄 10/10 recommend! …. And the service was amazing!”
“My friends and I tried this place for the first time and everything was SO delicious! We started with the cesar salad, and it was one of the best I've ever had.
We tried the branzino, and we loved the lemony sauce that complemented both the fish and side of brocolini!
The pork jowl dish was so tender and packed full of flavor, and it came with lettuce that made each bite refreshing.
We also got the miso carbonara which was creamy, perfectly seasoned yet not too heavy.
Service was very nice and fast, so overall we had an amazing dinner!”
“I usually grab a matcha here, but today called for an iced American and it was so crisp and refreshing in this heat. Paired it with their pesto sandwich, which was super flavorful on that crusty ciabatta. It’s a great spot to swing by for lunch during the week, especially with the outdoor seating area. Just keep in mind they close at 5p every day. Parking is usually pretty easy to find too.”
“I just wanted to say that the food itself was amazing and I really enjoyed the flavor of the garlic noddles and chicken. The service and and overall feel of the atmosphere is good too. But I have this review minus one star because I just wish that the water was served with ice in it. The water was room temperature and if it had ice in it would be 100 times more refreshing. Maybe the water pitches could be loaded with ice or the water containers with the spigot had ice in it to make the water colder.”
