“Illiana’s service was above and beyond. From the moment I entered the establishment, I was greeted in the most kind way. The service was absolutely amazing. Also, she made the most delicious bowl and took the time to ensure that my experience was over the top. I cannot wait to eat here again.”

“Service was fast and excellent, the ambiance was fascinating and really makes for a special evening, the drinks were so fun to watch them make, smoked drinks especially. The patio was large and lots of seating. The food was fresh and delicious. Great place for a date or night out with friends !”
“I stopped by after many years and I am so glad I did. The quality of the food truly impressed me. The barbecued pulled pork sandwich was incredibly tender and packed with rich, satisfying flavor. I also enjoyed a perfectly balanced Amaretto Sour that complemented the meal beautifully. The potato salad was fresh and delicious, adding the perfect touch to the plate. Everything tasted wonderful and made the visit completely worth it. A solid five star experience.”

“Great spot for sushi! Been going here for years! BEST SUSHI IN FULLERTON, MAYBE OC. The same local staff are there every time, and the dishes come out quickly and well prepared. Everything on their menu tastes amazing. We've tried maybe every dish so far. Definitely a craving place.”
“As far as coffee shops go, this place is definitely on the right end of the spectrum. First of all, THANK YOU to whoever is responsible for selecting the music. With jazz playing at a very respectful volume, I was actually able to enjoy my experience without noise canceling headphones. The ambiance is wonderful, slightly old-timey with lots of owl-themed decor. The chai was delicious, but I wasn’t impressed by the iced banana bread latte, which was slightly bitter and a bit watery. The drinks are pretty pricey (I paid $16 for 2 smalls), but I can honestly overlook that because of the incredible customer service we received from the older gentleman at the register. There was also an employee with a mustache who I found was equally dedicated to excellent customer service—really appreciate this! Also, great corner location. Coffee shops like this are hard to find nowadays. I highly recommend!”
“Friendly staff, clean space and amazing food.”
“I finally hunkered down and decided to give this place a chance and OH MY GOD it's soooo good 😅😍 the grilled fish tacos are amazing and you can just taste the quality of the ingredients. A bit pricey but absolutely worth it. Definitely a lot better than your average taco shop. My new go -to spot! 😎🇲🇽”

“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)”

“We went on a Friday night on a date and sat at the bar and had an amazing time. Not only was every food item fantastic Ethan was also a great server and chef offering great recommendations such as the chutoro moo which made my partner’s favorite and the Nikkei bluefin tuna which was mine. It was an awesome time with amazing food and thank you Ethan!”
“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 .”
“The chefs make food from fresh ingredients which is cut throughout the day.
And the owners are friendly and awesome to talk with.
You never have to wait in line for too long either.
They also have free drink refills.
The free drink refills adds to the value of the meal.
If it were possible, this place would be given a 6/5.
It’s a must eat!”
“I’ve been going to Brian’s sports bar since my college days at Cal State Fullerton from 1979 through 1984. Great place to have food, share laughs. and have an ice cold beer.”

“Why 4 stars?
Because this place knows exactly what it is. Molca Salsa is a solid late night junk food hero. It is open when you need it, it hits the spot, and it is actually good.
Is it going to impress a date? No. Is it going to become your favorite spot or something you brag about? Also no.
But if it is after the club, you are starving, and you want something tasty, messy, and full of regret, congratulations. You made it.
This is comfort food with zero judgment. Sometimes that is exactly the assignment.”
“This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. I had the tofu beef stew medium spice with all the fixings on the side. I also had an ice cold Cass beer which I have had before. Bohye was very attentive and gave me great recommendations. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area.”

“Everything is great at Nick's I hear. Im kinda stuck on the Ch Burgers and Fries. The whole bunch of them are super cool and go out of there way to make sure your happy.. The touch up you made to the store the last few years are nice. Thanks so much for being the best in Town.”
“I love there rice wing. I don’t come here often but when I do come down to Fullerton. I always try to order the wing because it so crispy and so good. It’s one of the chicken place I would die for. Sooooooo delicious”
“I had a great experience at this ramen place! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and the noodles had just the right texture. The toppings were fresh, and each bite felt comforting and satisfying. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself was clean and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a warm bowl of ramen. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends.”
“It was my first time here on dec.9th at 10AM and the barista Daniel had been rushing all morning yet he was extremely kind to us still! Turns out the workers get here at 2AM to make everything fresh and it really shows with the quality of food and how delicious everything looks.”

“The place hit the spot for our jjajangmyeon craving. We were a little iffy first because I am a 짜장면 snob and the place is a pocha restaurant but my gf and I really loved the food and the service. We got 깐풍새우 & 쟁반짜장. Sweet n spicy shrimp & jjajangmyeon platter. The shrimp was also god level good. We will be back to try different dishes and drinks! If you have a late night Korean Chinese food craving, you won’t be disappointed here!”

“Double cheese burger never disappoints,charboiled burgers notnfast food,( go to Mcdonalds if you want baby burgers), George's burger is the best, Golden ox and Charlie's (worst)best, pale in comparison. Also Bomb breakfast burrito! Love there prices and food , french fries are a must! 🍟”

“Stopped by PlayCoffee and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the Sudachi Matcha Tonic and a cold brew, and both drinks came out quickly.
The Sudachi Matcha Tonic was excellent. It was very matcha forward with a subtle citrus note. Not overly bright like a yuzu tonic, but just enough citrus to notice as you sip, allowing the matcha to remain the focus. The cold brew was also well done. Smooth, not bitter, and with plenty of body. Very easy to drink.
I also really liked how the space is laid out. They repurposed shipping containers in a thoughtful way, creating clearly separated seating areas. There is an outdoor section, an indoor section with bathrooms, and a main kitchen area where you order drinks and browse merchandise. The layout feels intentional and works well even when the shop is busy.
Looking back, we probably should have asked about the beans because the coffee was good enough that we would have happily picked up a bag or two to take home.
Quick service, well executed drinks, and a unique space make PlayCoffee a spot worth revisiting. I will definitely be back to try more from their menu.”
“Saw a picture of the Yakisoba Katsu sandwich and I had to have one! It was awesome! The Katsu was crispy and the meat tender. In short it was perfect! (not dry at all!) the yakisoba noodles was a nice addition as it absorbed the tonkatsu sauce and the cole slaw dressing! I also loved the brioche bread! A perfect touch. The sandwich was delicious and not like anything I have tasted before! This with a side of the curry fries! (YUM!) I'll definitely be back for more!”
“Ordered for the first time from their and it was great. Many more choices than other delivery apps and great prices too. Even had a call with the restaurant on items ordered. She was very helpful, kind, and supportive. Great food and great service! Thank you so much!!”
“The food here is amazing! Fresh fish was delicious. I had the grilled Mahi Mahi, and my companion ordered the grilled Sea Bass. I am not a fish lover, but I could rave about both. The salad was fresh and tasty. Those words don't come from me very often. The fries were quite good, and I didn't hate the fried zucchini. When we ordered the entrees, they came with two sides. They had canned soda but supplied ice and cups. The place was so clean and tidy. The staff were helpful, friendly and assisted us with ordering our meal. I will be back again.”
“Okay, okay…yes, first ramen experience! I know, I know…I’m not a long noodle guy and def not a slurper, so I’ve always kinda avoided it. Had the chicken broth here, and it was really good. This is for the peeps who have yet to try…do it. Tastes amazing and you won’t regret it. 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.”
“Best 🍱 sushi, best service, #Lynnandherfathertraditionenoughsaid. Cubi”
“Been here a few times. Food has always been good quality. They recently re-did their menu; you get to pick which handrolls you want in their set now which is nice. Since my little one only eats the crab rolls, I can get the 4 piece set with all crab rolls and save a little bit vs buying them individually. Very nice little feature over other handroll places where the sets come with specific handrolls only. Staff and chefs are always nice and friendly and will accommodate preferences. Will definitely keep coming back.”
“Everyone was very kind and welcoming. I had menu questions they were happy to clarify. They have a QR code with a picture menu. Their rice bowls are only served at lunch and we are already planning our next trip back to try them.”
“This place is a nice change from the ordinary. Very clean and the staff was very attentive. The food was very delicious. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼”
“I eat here a couple times a week as it’s just down the street from my office. Although we have several great options in Downtown Fullerton, Mickey’s is, hands down, my go to. 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. 🤣”
“My friend performed here Nowhere Fast, nice clean bar, great mix drinks, good selection on beer. Friendly staff. Awesome Bartender, security guard was respectful and vigilant. Great place I recommend it.”
“The food is good. The coffee is good. The people are nice. It's just expensive. Like I have to wake up and be like, I want to spend $50+ for two people, which isn't how I often feel. But when I do, Eggspresso is one of the places that come to mind.”
“This isn't a brewery, it's a taproom. They don't brew their own beer or have anything that would suggest it's an actual brewing company. I'm leading with that so those of you who are looking for a brewery in the area don't expect to find that here. Aside from that, it's a decent spot. They carry some solid selections and the food is what you'd expect for the type of setting. I was there during the day but it looks like it'd be a cool spot to hang after work.”
“It’s an Indian restaurant with most of the Indian staff .They know the real taste of India”
“I always enjoy my stay. the employees are very accommodating and the food is great”
“I’ve been going here once a week for a while now. Today I ordered the grill cheese with tri-tip and once again it didn’t disappoint. The sandwich is actually two meals for me. Give this place a try.”
“Excellent food, service, and one of the best places for all the above.”
“Love this space so much! Big thanks to them for hosting the monthly Pride night fundraisers for Fullerton pride and having the most welcoming staff. Thanks Emilio for the nonalcoholic cocktail :)”
“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.
don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.”
“The wings are absolutely delicious. The raspberry Long Island is unique and really good. We were there for the UFC fights, and you can look in virtually any direction and see the room-surrounding screens.”
“I've been there 2 times thus week,, sooo much fun great food & drinks, Pete introduced himself to us as well. we'll be back!!”
“A favorite restaurant for our friends and family. Food is always consistently good and the atmosphere is fun!!!”
“Muy sabrosa la comida, muy buena atención, lugar muy limpio”
“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.”
“I love this place everyone there makes you feel welcomed. The bartenders are amazing great service. If your looking to try out some new dranks definitely hit up Justine, her and juan (old bartender thats use to work there)got me hooked on that "Irish breakfast" shot definitely a must try if you wanna try out new dranks. Howard is a great karaoke dj fun and funny and treats everyone like family he makes it alot of fun. Security is friendly and hilarious. Over all great place and fun to go to.”
“Best Customer Service! Best Bartenders. On the Go! Great Food👌 Loved the music!! 110% Recommended.....5⭐️ Rating....”
“I get a bowl here every week like clockwork. I look forward to my Tuesday classes because I know I'll get poke. It's not the world's best fish by any means, but for on-campus dining on a long day, it's perfect.”
“Amazing food! Cute atmosphere. Lots of great options, a lot of variety. We had the churro waffle, the Elvis waffles and the Rancho Benny (which was perfection.) Thanks EB!”
“Me encanto el grupo Norteño 💯 por ciento recomendado y las muchachas buenas para bailar”

“This place is iconic. You’ll be hard pressed to find another atmosphere that holds up close to this restaurant. It’s filled with character and delectable cuisine. From a simple sit down dinner to booking a banquet for a special occasion this place does it all. There’s just something about pulling up to this restaurant and walking through those doors that make you feel transported to a magical Italian destination. It’s one of my ultimate favorite places to visit.”

““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.”

“The staff always talk to me like I’m their neighbor! They are so friendly and so willing to help me get the perfect bowl. With each bite I’m sent to heaven and after every minute I come back down to earth in this little paradise called Cava. They’re epic and sometimes I come just to say hi. Shoutout Ivan, Chris, Sergio, Ernesto.”
“Better Buzz Coffee is hands-down one of the best coffee spots in Fullerton. The space is super spacious and full of good energy—perfect whether you’re getting work done, meeting up with friends, or just grabbing a quality cup to-go.
Their coffee really shines: small-batch, ethically sourced, and clearly crafted with care. The handcrafted drinks are consistently smooth and flavorful, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. On top of that, the food menu is a major win—fresh made-to-order acai bowls, avocado toast, and sandwiches that actually feel thoughtful and filling, not just an afterthought.
Great vibes, great coffee, and great food. Better Buzz nails the balance between quality and comfort every time.”

“This concept goes beyond a simple coffee shop, Chase proudly employ adults with disabilities, offering them valuable opportunities and fostering an inclusive environment. 🥹🥹🥹 I could not love this more!!! The atmosphere is clean and cozy, providing a comfortable space to unwind. It's a wonderful spot to meet friends or simply enjoy some quiet time. The ginger latte at this coffee house is truly super yummy and a delightful treat. I hope all communities take note on how to serve and include all. I want to open a place just like this. Bravo Chase!”
“Our family loves the soups and Korean side dishes here! It’s the perfect spot for a busy working mom like me — everything tastes homemade and comforting. Most dishes are excellent, but my favorites are the Short Ribs Soup and Korean-style Donkatsu. The marinated meats are also really good. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, home-style Korean food!”
“Accidentally stumbled upon this cute place when I was lost looking for something else, lol. The interior is so cute and their menu has lots of options. The staff was very nice and patient with me and trying to figure out my adjustments.
Their boba is chewy and yummy and their lemon white peach is very refreshing! I'll definitely be back to try the bowls next time as well.”
“Amazing Lotteria taste! Best burgers in Korea have finally come to Fullerton and are the best burgers here too! I got the bibim burger combo with onion fries and the bulgogi burger combo with cheese fries and also bingsoo cups! Everything was hot, fresh and delicious! Juicy bulgogi patties, so yummy and reminded me of my days in South Korea! I ate well, thank you!”
“If you're looking for mind-blowingly good pizza, look no further than Desi Halal Pizza. I went with a group of friends recently, and we were all absolutely blown away. This isn't just great pizza; it's hands down the best halal pizza I've ever had!
We ordered the XL pepperoni with jalapeños and extra cheese, and let me tell you, it was to die for! The crust was perfect, the pepperoni was savory, and the jalapeños added just the right kick. And that extra cheese? Pure perfection. Every bite was better than the last.
Beyond the incredible food, the place itself is fantastic. It's super nice and clean, which always makes for a comfortable dining experience. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly too. We have to give a special shout out to Ozzie – he hooked us up with some awesome discounts, which just made the whole experience even better.
Seriously, if you haven't tried Desi Halal Pizza yet, you're missing out. It's truly the best pizza I've had in a long time, and without a doubt, the top spot for halal pizza!”
“I love this pizza!! The owner Mike, is a really nice guy. The quality of the ingredients is very good, especially the dough. The crust is very, very good. Crisp on the pepperoni is great!
He only offers cheese and pepperoni. So, keep this in mind as some customers have been critical of this. But I don't know if they've ever gone to his website or read his bio. I think it's pretty clear he's starting out his business and he's trying to keep costs low by only opening twice a week while offering a limited menu.
I support small business owners who take pride in their passion. Say hello to him when you go in. He's very nice and personable.
Pay no mind to the lower rated comments. Some people have certain expectations and want a buffet of ingredients and options. I, personally, prefer quality.”
“Best Egyptian food place in Cali. The owners are super friendly. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻”
