“🔥🔥 🔥 REMON, YOU HAVE CHANGED THE GAME!!! 💥💥 💥 MIND-BLOWN 🤯 ? … ✅ ✅✅ I’m sooo in awe of the experience I just had at his restaurant, literally minutes ago. He literally CURED ME with one of THE MOST AROMATIC, FLAVORFUL, & DISHES EVER! Tas2Go… has REDEFINED: … comfort food, … fast food, … authenticity, … wholesomeness, … small business, … deliciousness, … high quality ingredients, … passion-inspired dishes, & … start-up exponential growth! (and growing) This is one of those foodie experiences you just have to have to say that you lived!!! My senses are have been in high alert since I first bit into my hawawshi! It’s like haunting 👻 me how immediate my senses were infused with a “ratatouille” ✨of flavors and aromas! As I was driving away, I debated turning back for seconds and still am as we’re quickly approaching closing time in 52 minutes and counting!!!! Will definitely be back (as I cringe thinking this is my newest addiction and inevitably where all my money will go)! Well done, Remon! Well done! 🏆”

“Not my kind of food, or place in general really. But not to detract from them, it's just not up my alley. The staff was super friendly and professional. Food was good. Would I go back? If I was with someone who wanted to go, yes. By myself? Not likely”
Japanese • $
“Teriyaki Express in Fullerton offers good, well-portioned, and reasonably priced teriyaki food. However, I must express my disappointment with the owner’s demeanor. It comes across as impersonal and unfriendly, which is unfortunate because I’m a loyal customer. If the customer service continues to be poor, they’ll lose loyal customers. 🇯🇵”

“The food is always great, and on Tuesdays they have 1/2 off a second entree when you buy the first. I personally love their salad so much that I would go there just for that alone, and im not really a salad person. Service is always phenomenal and the vibes are nice. I do wish they had the buckler non alcoholic drink that's on the menu, but they necer seem to have it. Highly recommend this place.”

I really enjoyed trying a few of their unique latte flavors. It's wonderful to find a place that offers such a welcoming ambiance. I highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a warm and inviting escape.”
“Friendly staff, clean space and amazing food.”
Coffee Shops • $
“Honestly, this is one of those places you almost want to keep secret. The cafe is a converted house, so it feels much cozier and more welcoming than a typical coffee shop. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged.
I ordered a latte and a crepe, and both were excellent. The latte was smooth and flavorful, and the crepe was absolutely delicious. The owner was also incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home.
I rarely write reviews, but this place truly deserves it. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing cafe with great coffee and food”

“I just had my first In-N-Out at this location and it was one of the best burger experiences I've had. They were so excited to treat a first timer and gave me some stickers! I'm from Ohio, and the closest we have is Five Guys, and this blows them out of the water! My wife is the local, so I followed her lead and had burgers and fries animal style! Everything was DELICIOUS! Thanks to everyone at the location! Everyone was very genuinely cheerful and nice! (went through at 11:00am, Sep 4th 2023)”

Barbecue • $
“My family and I eat at Mad Wolf Mongolian Barbecue in Fullerton all the time, and it has become one of our absolute favorite places to eat! One of the best things about Mad Wolf is being able to completely customize your meal exactly how you like it. From choosing your meats and vegetables to creating your own sauce combinations, every choice is delicious.
The food is cooked quickly, tastes amazing, and is always fresh. Our kids can be pretty picky eaters, but they constantly ask to come here, especially because they love the beef! It’s one of the few places that everyone in our family agrees on.
Mad Wolf is truly a hidden gem. It’s tucked away on the side of a shopping center, so many people drive right past it, but locals know just how great it is. We love introducing friends and family to this place, and every person we’ve brought here has become a fan.
The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and they genuinely care about their customers. They are also strong supporters of the local community, which makes us appreciate them even more. Every visit feels like you’re supporting good people who take pride in their business.
If you’re looking for delicious food, friendly service, and a fun dining experience, we highly recommend Mad Wolf Mongolian Barbecue. It’s one of our family’s favorite restaurants, and we always look forward to coming back!”

“1/11/2026 = 12:05PM = 4 Star = i order the Lunch Special, Mongolian beef with soup and Drink . It's a big portion of meat, but hard to say if beef or pork coz is too soft . I think it's okey, but I want to taste the beef . I still enjoy it , I will try different menu next time .”
Bar & Grill • $$
“My first bar & grill with a ribeye. AND they’re surprisingly delish! With a scoop of garlic butter and a crap load of sautéd mushroom on top. Had to split the medium rare 16 oz cuz they’re so fricking generous on the 2 sides! I chose steam veggies (nothing exciting) and the clam chowder (unfortunately, its a meh). First time to enjoy a steak while watching a dodgers and stanley cup game. And the atmosphere is different yet enjoyable. I’d definitely be back. Probably going to try their prime ribs…”

“I have always enjoyed your Cinnamon coffeecake from 7-11..reminds me of high school..it was fresh as always but I was very disappointed yesterday, it had no cinnamon crumble topping..and the size is much smaller”
Mexican • $
“There is definitely the appeal for the convenience of a 24-hour drive-thru for Mexican food place, no question about it. You can rest easy knowing a carne asada burrito is only car ride away any time of day or night. However, the food is okay, not necessarily great, the Supreme fries we're not as superlative as it could be. And by the way It is solely a drive-thru, no place to dine in so you have to be ready to eat your emergency 3am fish tacos maybe in your car. But the neon sign is cool.”

“We leave in Fullerton and there is McDonald branch instead of going there we drive this branch to have a good breakfast, cause the crews working here are nice and the coffee they served is fresh , I appreciate the way they served us with good smiling face like Maria and Michael that I remember their names … I highly recommend to my friends to have their meal in this branch .. all the staff are nice and place are in order and clean”
Fast Food • $
“I never thought I would give a Jack in the Box 5 stars but here we are. My absolute favorite thing about this store is that they ALWAYS will make the tacos well-done if you ask for it. I don’t think I’ve ever had a nasty taco from here because they honor that request. I cannot say that about other Jack in the Box locations. It has been consistent for years.
Please never change 😭”
Thai • $$
“Love this place!! This is our third time eating here, we’re actually visiting from NorCal. Everything we’ve tried up to this point has been so yummy, the staff are very nice & the ambiance is a very home-y feel. They play relaxing jazz music & the music isn’t too loud so you can easily have conversations.
This time, we ordered the pork jowl, pineapple red curry with chicken & the pad see ew with shrimp. The pork jowl is definitely a shareable appetizer, it was more than we thought would come out & it came with a tangy spicy sauce. We got the curry medium spicy and it was the perfect spice level for us! It was nice and creamy/smooth. The pad see ew could use a little more soy sauce but otherwise also still good!
Will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you Manon for the delicious food and lovely hospitality!”

Vietnamese • $
“The food is amazing, portions are large, and prices are very fair. The $16.95 short rib pho comes with two huge short rib bones and unlimited noodles! Such a good deal. My favorite was honestly the lomo saltado, the fries were so crisp and the filet was so tender with a delicious, smoky wok fire flavor. The spring crunch slaw is a steal at $6.95, it’s a ton of slaw for such a cheap price and the peanut butter/chili oil dressing is bomb. It was pretty busy when I went, but they brought out the food amazingly fast for how big of a group was seated ahead of me. Definitely recommend this spot.”

I will definitely come here again.”

Coffee Shops • $
“Solid calm coffee spot with large tables, outlets, and a smaller crowd than other cafes in the Fullerton area. This is a great option if you are looking for a location that is not super busy on a weekday. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I stopped by on a Monday from 2pm-5pm. It was quiet and there were plenty of seats open. Ordered the Coconut Top Latte and a Chorizo Cheddar Croissant. The latte had a moderate coffee flavor, but the coconut foam could have been stronger. The croissant was delicious, buttery, and flaky, though it could have used a bit more chorizo inside. Bathrooms were clean and there is street parking available. I also noticed they have high chairs available which is a nice touch for families.”

“Just had the full spread at So Moon Nan Jokbal in Fullerton, and it was outstanding! The jokbal was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Every dish that came out was fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. The banchan, soups, and sides complemented the meal perfectly, making it one of the most satisfying Korean dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The hospitality was just as memorable as the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean jokbal done right.”

Still not sure how to cut down the large pieces of chicken in the broth with chopsticks, but that’ll be for my second visit.”

“This is a sandwich shop that I find myself thinking about every morning—especially because of the owner, Mr. Bora, and his warm, family-like friendliness. The flavors are clean and crisp, and they serve a double portion of turkey meat. I suspect that his thoughtful knack for remembering customers' names and dietary preferences is the secret behind this shop's growing popularity. In fact, my group of ten neighborhood friends—who used to meet every Saturday morning at McDonald's—has now switched our gathering spot to this place! — From Grace”

Their food is always on point. Their service is second to none and their prices are great as well. I’ve had it all. Their Burger, their steak, ribs, fish & chips, it’s all wonderful. Irish Eggrolls and Deviled Eggs are crazy good! 🤯And of course, they have all the spirits one would need to enjoy. If you haven’t been to Mickey’s, I’d say you’re missing out. Which is fine, more for me. 🤣”

“I had gotten the chicken ginseng soup and although the wait was a bit long, it was definitely worth the wait. They packaged up the food so well and gave side dishes such as rice, kimchi, spicy fish cake and etc.The soup was a life changing experience, it was like soothing to my core and left me feeling fulfilled. My emotions were calm after eating the soup. In the soup. There was a whole small chicken and stuffed with dates, and rice. The rice inside the chicken became almost creamy like congee and was the star of the show, to me. The chicken was tender and light on my stomach and the side dishes paired well with the entire meal. I look forward to coming back to this restaurant and trying more dishes.”

“la comida excelente pero las 3 veces que hemos hido acomer a este lugar tiene muy mal servicio me refiero a las meseras te llevan la comida y jamaz regresan,a ver si se ofrece algo,nos quedamos sin soda,nos faltaban tostadas pero la mesera ni sus luces y como que enojadas se si eso les parecerá normal pero cada fin semana que vamos a diferentes restaurantes los meseros primeramente te saludan,checan que no falte nada en la orden y como lo dije las 3 veces ha pasado lo mismo le dije al muchacho que estaba de cajero y el si muy amablemente me dijo que hablara con la mesera con nos atendió, le pondré las 5 estrellas porque la verdad está muy rica la comida y muy fresco todo”

“California Tofu Grill is my go-to spot for authentic Korean comfort food! The Soft Tofu Soup (Soondubu) is incredibly silky and flavorful, and the BBQ Pork Ribs are perfectly seasoned, tender, and savory. Don't miss out on their Seafood Pancake either—it's beautifully crispy on the edges.
Great portions, fresh banchan (side dishes), and excellent service. Highly recommend”

“Really good food options, but they seem to change it up pretty often. The overall taste is alright, pretty standard for an Asian buffet (haven't tried their hot pot yet though!) But the value is amazing. The price is what keeps me coming back.”

“This is such a beautiful little gem of a place. The large windows and unique architecture of the old building gives the place character and charm. The decor was simple but appealing and brought a clean low stress feel which is not often felt in similar restaurants. The food was truly amazing and the 5 dollar margaritas on Wednesday were truly fantastic. The prickly pear and the cucumber margaritas….even the house margarita was very pleasant. However, the tacos chicken tinga and the tequila fajitas were the best I have ever had. Seriously, we will be back.”

““Wow” Monday I went to restaurant and pre-ordered 20 meals for my guests who were going to be celebrated by daughters 2 year birthday. Mayra was great, friendly & professional but there was a misunderstanding on the date. Which of course I feel terrible about! But they accommodated my order for the correct date! Everyone enjoyed the food. Especially the bass fish with vegetables and rice plate! Fancy for 12.00. Large portions too!”

“I'm going to be 100% honest. The service is fantastic. The chicken is good but without their special sauce it would taste like the other chicken places. Their Texas toast is only toasted on one side which makes the bite mushy. For me their coleslaw needs to be blended more. The fries are so so. This is just my own opinion.”

“I just had my first In-N-Out at this location and it was one of the best burger experiences I've had. They were so excited to treat a first timer and gave me some stickers! I'm from Ohio, and the closest we have is Five Guys, and this blows them out of the water! My wife is the local, so I followed her lead and had burgers and fries animal style! Everything was DELICIOUS! Thanks to everyone at the location! Everyone was very genuinely cheerful and nice! (went through at 11:00am, Sep 4th 2023)”

“The food is amazing, portions are large, and prices are very fair. The $16.95 short rib pho comes with two huge short rib bones and unlimited noodles! Such a good deal. My favorite was honestly the lomo saltado, the fries were so crisp and the filet was so tender with a delicious, smoky wok fire flavor. The spring crunch slaw is a steal at $6.95, it’s a ton of slaw for such a cheap price and the peanut butter/chili oil dressing is bomb. It was pretty busy when I went, but they brought out the food amazingly fast for how big of a group was seated ahead of me. Definitely recommend this spot.”

“This historic old Taco Bell building has had the makeover of a lifetime. Not only a fun little dining room but the food was amazing!!! Came in for the soft opening and will be back very soon. The Katsu and spicy curry was wonderful a nice bite but not too spicy. The dumpling's, cooked to perfection. Don’t pass this little gem by.”

“Love this place!! This is our third time eating here, we’re actually visiting from NorCal. Everything we’ve tried up to this point has been so yummy, the staff are very nice & the ambiance is a very home-y feel. They play relaxing jazz music & the music isn’t too loud so you can easily have conversations.
This time, we ordered the pork jowl, pineapple red curry with chicken & the pad see ew with shrimp. The pork jowl is definitely a shareable appetizer, it was more than we thought would come out & it came with a tangy spicy sauce. We got the curry medium spicy and it was the perfect spice level for us! It was nice and creamy/smooth. The pad see ew could use a little more soy sauce but otherwise also still good!
Will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you Manon for the delicious food and lovely hospitality!”

“Just had the full spread at So Moon Nan Jokbal in Fullerton, and it was outstanding! The jokbal was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Every dish that came out was fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. The banchan, soups, and sides complemented the meal perfectly, making it one of the most satisfying Korean dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The hospitality was just as memorable as the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean jokbal done right.”

“We were 1st timers. I ordered the green enchilada plate. My husband ordered carne asada fries, and my sister ordered the carne asada torta which we did not get a picture of. My plate was delish. There was a good amount of chicken in my enchiladas. The beans and rice were yummy. The carne asada fries were equally as good. My sister said the torta tasted good but there was hardly any meat and beans or topping on her torta. We'd definitely go back. I'd gave it 4 starts because of the torta otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.”

The food was absolutely delicious—every dish we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and exceeded our expectations. We were both genuinely surprised and impressed by how tasty everything was.
The service was also outstanding. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made our experience even better.
If you’re thinking about trying this place, definitely give it a chance. We will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!

“The wait for me to get a table wasn’t long. When you sit down, you get to order on a tablet at the table. The pictures provided do not correlate that well to what you are getting when you order. I got wasabi on my plate, without even knowing it was an option. The wasabi didn’t taste good and got onto some of my food which displeased me. My katsu was crispy, but lacked flavor. I enjoyed the rice base portion of my meal, it was a savory.The soup was nice, kind of like miso soup. When I went to pay for my tab, the worker gave us the wrong bill, which included extra drinks and dishes that my party did not order. Overall 3.7 rating for the food and service.”
