“I had a craving for a Turkish-style breakfast and stumbled upon a charming place in Fountain Valley, CA, called Canan’s Kitchen & Bakery. The image you see captures Canan and her family, the proud owners of this small business. Intrigued, I delved into the reviews and was moved by how many patrons likened their experience to being in Turkey. The moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the thoughtful design of the place and the beautifully set tables. However, what truly stood out was Canan’s warm hospitality. Her customer service was exceptional—friendly, kind, and genuine. Every aspect of our experience was delightful; the tea and coffee were exquisite, and the bread, simply put, was delicious. It was an experience that left me feeling not just satisfied but also deeply appreciative of the care and dedication that Canan and her family put into their business. A little history of Turkish-style breakfast is renowned for its variety and deliciousness, rooted in centuries-old traditions. Featuring cheeses, olives, fresh bread, honey, and eggs, it offers a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The emphasis on communal dining and quality, locally sourced ingredients adds to its appeal, making it a cherished cultural experience.”

“Definitely a MUST TRY for hand roll lovers!!! Everything we tried was SO good! We got the 7 roll set and it was yummy. Also tried their uni handroll, and salmon and toro maki rolls, crispy tuna, garlic edamame, and miso soup and washed it all down with some ube beer. Everything was perfect. The service was also exceptional. Great service from Annie who can sell ice to Eskimos. Really sweet waitress. The hand roll chef was so on top of it like a boss. Handled himself very well while serving a whole bar! Chatted with the manager Kevin for a bit and he was also nice to talk to and shared some good info about all of the sister restaurants in the area. We will be back!”

CIR Lounge 18120 Brookhurst St Ste 2, Fountain Valley Bar • $$$

“This was my 2nd time here. First time was for drinks and dessert which I loved so I decided to come back for a birthday dinner. We had no problems getting a table for 5 on a Saturday at 7pm. We were seated in the back room. The atmosphere was very Vegas lounge like. They even had a dj come in at 8pm to play. The service here was really nice. Food and drinks we loved too. Asian fusion style of menu. We tried 3 of the desserts and all 3 were soooo good. Definitely a place for date night or celebrating a special occasion. They even gave the birthday boy a little birthday gift. A must try for sure for all. =)”

Pho Nic 17860 Newhope St # 106, Fountain Valley Vietnamese • $

“In general, we had an enjoyable meal at the Pho Nic. The fragrant rice and delicate chicken in the Hainanese chicken rice made for a delightful dinner. The spring rolls were tasty but didn't leave any lasting impression. The kids' pho bowl was decently sized and tasted, but overshadowed by their chicken rice meal. The interior was modern and contemporary, and the service was good. Overall, it is a good option for a tasty meal, particularly if you're craving chicken rice in this location.”

Brodard Restaurant 16105 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley Vietnamese • $

“This was my first time dining in after getting takeout a number of times.The spring rolls are definitely the stars here and are always fantastic! It's nice to order a few and share at the table. The shrimp and eggplant are my favorites.The main dishes are good as well and on par with some of my favorite Vietnamese places in the area.The deserts/pastries are a bit of a let down and I would save desert for another place. The macaroons were on the dry side and the macarons were too sweet for me.Service was friendly and informative.”

The Vox Kitchen 16161 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley Asian Fusion • $$

“This place is popular but I was able to show up and get seated without a reservation. It was a 10-20 minute wait on a Friday evening. I thought this place was going to be overhyped but in my opinion, it lived up to the hype! Our server was amazing, he was knowledgeable and had amazing recommendations based on our taste. I ordered the "Saltado" Shaken Fries and it was soo delicious! the meat was tender and the aji sauce was incredible and complemented the food. The ambiance was great and lively, definitely a nice spot to go with friends or a date :)”

Momoyama 桃山 18906 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley Sushi • $$$$

“The place is very non-descript. You have to park and get out of the car to see the signage. We really enjoyed the momoyama courses. You can tell chef has laid out the courses starting from delicate and incrementally build up to heavier flavor as the course goes on. In addition to the food itself, we enjoyed our conversations with the chefs.IMO. It’s Michelin star experience without the pretenseWe will be back!”

Their avocado turkey sando, katsu sando and niku pan are really good options for a quick lunch. They also have very scrumptious cakes by the slice here. Their cream puffs sell out easily on Saturday and Sunday mornings. This location is newer than the Tustin one, good lighting and clean tables. Staff here is very friendly.”

I was given a package of malt vinegar for the fish along with tartar sauce the cooks offer too.

“7 Leaves cafe combined with Crema Cafe? Just the killer combo. All of the drinks, varying from the House Coffee to the Herbal Tea from 7 leaves, and combining it with Truffle Mushroom Omelettes all the way through to Beef stew! The food was DELIGHTFUL, and just one bite can make your insides melt. Every bite you take, you know that the chef made it from the heart. The drinks are also AMAZING. The drinks are always refreshing, satisfying your thirst with flavor. With each sip, you can taste the freshness in the drink. The naturalness make the drink pop with flavor.The waiters and cashiers are VERY kind, helping you with almost anything you need!The atmosphere of Artisan is very peaceful and tranquil, with greenery flourishing around the building. The outdoor seating is a bonus! Umbrellas and trees provide shade in the outdoor seating, with speakers playing easy going music while you are enjoying your meal! The moment you step inside the store, an amazing aroma floats around the room, combining many different dishes and drinks! The interior of the store is a easy navigating place. Plenty of room to sit at and is an amazing place to study! The restroom are very clean, with a nice aroma around the restroom. Not a smell you usually expect to see in a restroom!I totally recommend Artisan. If you are looking for somewhere to hang out, study, or just have a good brunch, this is the place to go! It is a hidden gem barely noticeable, but once found, is an amazing treat!”

Pickle Banh Mi Co 16086 Harbor Blvd, Fountain Valley Vietnamese • $

“Straight up the best banh mi you’re gonna get. They’re generous with all the toppings and meat that goes into each banh mi. The pork belly one is amazing but they have steak, chicken, all of it. They do sell other Vietnamese food and desserts as well. I like the sesame balls but haven’t tried much else. The pricing is a steal too — I’d pay a lot more for their banh mi but it’s awesome to see a business not be all about raising prices all the time. You can get a drink and a banh mi for like $13!Drive through ordering is easy but can get crowded. You can order online as well and just park & pick it up if you don’t want to deal with the drive through.”

“Great local dive bar with live music on the weekends. They pour a stiff cocktail, and the prices are fair. They don't serve food. However, there is a Mexican restaurant next door that offers takeout, or there will sometimes be a food truck that will pop by. My only minor gripe is that it is an Irish bar in name only. They have some Irish decor around the bar, but they don't have Guinness on tap, which is really a shame. It's a decent spot to watch a game, but they could use a few more TVs.”

“Yes yes yes yes! I used to come here years ago, more for ramen. I really didn't get into yakitori til recently, but my boyfriend and I wanted to give it a shot. There are two sides, ramen side and yakitori side. We were seated at the bar, so we were not able to order ramen there. If we wanted ramen, we had to move, which we were considering given that it was a cold, windy and rainy day. But we opted to stick to where we were at. Inside has plenty of seating, with one area seeming to be more traditional tatami like style where you remove your shoes and sit criss-coss on a cushion. It was a well suited environment. Nice change from everywhere being more modernized. The service was great, it wasn't too busy yet, so they were very attentive and helped us choose some items. We tried the chicken thigh, pork belly, 3 kinds of beef, bacon wrapped tomato and enoki, scallop and had the rib eye. Also had an order for the gyoza. They were small, so order came in 10 or 12 pieces. So juicy! All the yakitori was delicious, great quality and some had some great dipping sauces. The garlic one was the best! This place can add up as the skewers are smaller portions, but I thought it was perfect! We can't wait to go back!”

Phở K-tea 18041 Magnolia St, Fountain Valley Vietnamese • $

“Solid cozy spot for pho that won't kill your wallet! With pho these days at $12 and higher, it's always good to know which spots still have bowls at $10. For $10 you can get a tasty good sized bowl of pho here. They also have a ton of other options such as rice plates, and even hotpot! They offer a mini Tom Yum hotpot for one, only costing $15. This is a nice option if you're craving hotpot but don't want to spend too much or don't want to share.The few times I've been here, I've noticed it doesn't get too busy. This is good for us as we get faster service and don't have to wait much for food, but they definitely deserve more customers! Definitely recommend Pho K-Tea if you're in the FV/HB area.”

Del Taco 17295 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley Fast Food • $

“Stopped here for lunch and was completely surprised by the guy at the counter. He was A1 in customer service, which is something non existent these days especially from a 19 yr old. I had to ask if he was a manager which he replied no. He was polite, super attentive always finding something to do, cleaning tables, picking up trays taking both counter and drive up orders, took time to ask customers if they needed anything. I'm in construction so I eat out n a daily basis and it has been years since I've seen this kind of service. So with that said I think you people at administration should utilize this young man's skills to teach your employees from all stores how customer service actually works. By the way his name was Eric and I did call in to corporate to say basically the same thing in hopes of you acknowledging his great service. I will be stopping in there again soon to see if he was approached by corporate and maybe even offer him a job at a friend's computer business. Keep up the good work Eric.”

“4.5/5 starsCame here as part of an Instagram collaboration. My favorite items were the Vietnamese steak and eggs (super tender meat and flavorful sauce) and the Cajun seafood platter (tender crawfish, shrimp, clams, and mussels). The $4 extra for live/fresh seafood is totally worth it. The seafood platter comes with delicious bread, which was perfect when dipped in the sauce! The crispy calamari was delicious (batter wasn’t too thick). The hot stone pho was average. I personally didn’t notice a significant difference between pho in a hot stone bowl vs regular pho. My bf loved the garlic noodles, but I thought it needed more flavor. All the items we got I would probably give 5/5 stars except for the pho and the garlic noodles, which I would give 3/5 stars”

Rollin' Creamery 17908 1/2 Magnolia St, Fountain Valley Ice Cream Shop • $

“Came here after dinner in Fountain Valley. Cool concept here. I've seen it'll over social media of food vendors who use those techniques in other countries but never here. They use an anti griddle to make their concoctions. They have so many different flavors and choices. They have a whole bunch of choices on their walls with pictures, but they have even more choices found on their menu at the counter. They even have drinks and other kinds of desserts. The dessert comes out quickly. You can watch them make it on the anti griddle. The layout is weird. They have more seating towards the back. Even a fooseball table back there to sit and chill. The guy working the register was kinda mean and short; didn't like his attitude or tone. But I think that's just how he is and doesn't mean anything by it. There's no seating outside. So we just ate in the car. I ordered their caramel coconut delight. It tasted good. Light. But creamy. Not overly sweet. If you're able to pry the rolls out of the cup, it's much better to eat 1 roll at a time as you can feel the different layers, as suppose to eating it like ice cream or yogurt. It's a nice variation to the traditional ice cream or soft serve or yogurt you find everywhere else. It's a good way to end the night!!”

“Delicious and quaint spot for drinks! Overall (4.5/5) experience! Matcha Tornado (3.5/5): We got regular sweet and I think it's the perfect sweet but not too sweet. The initial flavor of the matcha is good, and the blended drink is a nice consistency. The only thing is that the matcha does leave a bit of a grainy taste on your tongue with each sip. Lychee Jasmine Tea (4/5): It came with real lychee and green tea jelly, both of which are delicious with the drink. The flavor itself is very mild, the lychee flavor is not super strong but the drink is pretty good! Not too sweet either Will come back if I'm in the area.”

“I love a good iced Vietnamese style coffee with the only con being the portion size or use of ice that is common at these coffee shops. This was no exception. I ordered the 20 ounce and got 16 ounces of ice and 4 ounces of coffee. I could have ordered "less ice" or "light on ice" but it has been my experience that it does not make a difference as then you still get 4 ounces of coffee with more air space in the cup and less ice. Regardless, my fault for forgetting to attempt it as it would have at least given me a chance for a real amount of coffee. At least it was tasty.”

“Sabrosada has multiple locations across the Orange County area, and this location is near Mile Square Park next to Sam's Club. It has a small parking lot, some indoor seating, and a drive through if you don't want to get out of your car. AL PASTOR TACO ($2.45) - they have a smaller size with just onions and cilantro and a larger size with guacamole (that's also twice the cost). I got the smaller size but the taco was still loaded with meat. Even better, the al pastor was flavorful and tender. These tacos were solid! 5/5 SUPER BURRITO ($14.49) - even though I got this without beans, for a super burrito the size was not so super. It was not big and it was just okay. It wasn't the best I've had and I liked the other things I got here more. 3/5 CARNE ASADA FRIES ($14.99) - they have a full size and a half size although the full size is only ~$1 more. The carne asada was a little dry but the fries had a lot of fresh ingredients like pico and onions to help with the heaviness. This also had beans in it which I didn't care for and would get it without next time. 4/5 Their red and green sauces were both pretty good. The al pastor was way way better than the carne asada and I would try to get everything I could with the al pastor even if I had to pay extra for it.”

The naturalness make the drink pop with flavor.The waiters and cashiers are VERY kind, helping you with almost anything you need!The atmosphere of Artisan is very peaceful and tranquil, with greenery flourishing around the building. The outdoor seating is a bonus! Umbrellas and trees provide shade in the outdoor seating, with speakers playing easy going music while you are enjoying your meal!

“This is THE Ramen restaurant for my son and me. When friends want Ramen, this is where I tell them to go. The noodles are a superb texture. My son liked the original gyu-tonkotsu. I tried the chashu tsukemen and that is now my favorite. The broth was so scrumptious that I wanted to dip myself in it. The son finished the meal with a melon soda float. We were stuffed!!! Can't wait to go back for more.”

Cream Pan 15945 Harbor Blvd, Fountain Valley Bakery • $

“This is my favorite Japanese bakery in Fountain Valley! The lines are pretty long on the weekends but totally worth the wait. Their avocado turkey sando, katsu sando and niku pan are really good options for a quick lunch. They also have very scrumptious cakes by the slice here. Their cream puffs sell out easily on Saturday and Sunday mornings. This location is newer than the Tustin one, good lighting and clean tables. Staff here is very friendly.”

“I was craving something that would make me feel light and healthy. I got the DETOX ISLAND GREEN® and let me just say i was speechless. My tastebuds were shocked and extremely happy. I was being greedy and my second sip was at least a few seconds long. It's refreshing, and the flavors blended in seamlessly together. 10/10 smoothie hands down. I also got the ACAI BOWL it was perfectly packed with fruit and granola, which other acai places lack. I had a bit of everything in each bite and I think i fell in love. 10/10 ACAI BOWL delicious”
