“Today went to get breakfast with my friend Damon at Denny’s on Harbor Boulevard. Maricela was our waitress, and she was amazing. Thank you Maricela for making our breakfast great. Perfect service, and we had nice conversation with her. We are coming back to see Maricela very soon. Thanks for a wonderful experience.”

“Cash only, light lines during dinner rush moves but moves very fast for groups of four and less anything more and it takes a little bit longer. All of this doesn't seem all that appealing but this place is MICHELIN RATED it's had Zagat awards almost every year since 1995, their broth is amazing everyone I've introduced this place to keeps coming back.
Parking: Strip mall adjacent, the liquor store will tow so talk to them first.”
“This place is so perfectly crafted it literally looks like it was made in the sims. The owners and employees are so incredibly friendly and you can tell it was made from pure love and passion from the decor to the menu and shop. Also the food is super duper yummy as well as the drinks (pumpkin all year round yayy), and a lot of the menu is vegan friendly!!! Totally going again soon, especially with the tea room opening soon too!”
“One of the best matcha spot in Garden Grove rn. We have tried all the most popular flavors Matcha Eispanner, Matcha Pandan, Matcha Strawberry, n Matcha Ube. You can adjust the sweetness and less sweet is just perfect for all drinks. However, it can be very crowded during the weekends. Overall, would recommend everyone to try this spot in OC.”
“It was perfect timing for this Pho Hot Pot restaurant for our post spa/massage dinner! On this day, it did get much cooler in the evening, so hot pot was perfect! Our eyes definitely got hungry when we ordered this "Combo for 4" for just us 2, but it was the perfect opportunity to try different things! Thanks to our awesome server who was able to guide us through the menu, as noobs to the restaurant! Everything we tried was so delish and we had plenty to take home to share with our families! W”
“This place is great. We were greeted by them and they asked us to wait while they set the table. We happened to catch them at a good time because as soon as we finished ordering the food, the restaurant filled up quickly. The food didn't disappoint. Sometimes what looks good on Instagram doesnt translate in real life. The boys wanted Katsu so they ordered 2 but we honestly only need 1. Pro tip, if you ordered the Katsu and the garlic su yuk, eat the katsu first. Once you have a bite of the 10 hours sous vide pork belly, everything else just tasted tough. Trust me... i was loving the tender pork katsu until I bit into the sous vide pork. After that there was no going back. By the way, the bathroom is clean which is a plus
Kid-friendliness: yes”

“So happy I found this gem coffee shop ? My barista reccommended me the seasonal special drink Matcha Meadow ??? As a regular matcha enjoyer, this is a nice great change. The fragrant rose and lavender really complement the already tasty drink (beautiful for the gram too ?). The cozy vibe is suitable for friends and family hangout. I saw many people study here as well. Will be coming back to try other items on the menu!”
“BEST TAMALES!!! I have tried many tamales throughout the years and hands down, these are the most delicious tamales I have ever tasted! Not only do they have the best tamales, but anything you try here will exceed your expectations! To top it all off, their customer service is the best, they are all very professional, respectful and caring. They even gave us a free dessert that was also very delicious. I will definitely be back here!”
“Went at 3pm on a Monday and it was not busy. The barista up front was
very friendly and helped me pick both a drink and a bag of beans to take home. I could not have asked for better customer service.
I ordered the black forest latte and it was an easy 5/5 for me. Not too sweet while, having a strong coffee taste with a hint of cherry and the cookie crumbs rounding it out. I will come back to order it again or try other drinks.”
“Hidden gem. Lucky enough to live super close. The food is great, both the pizza fare and the vietnamese food drinks and treats. The price is fair as well. I try to stop by every friday after work to start the weekend. Super friendly service and a great spot all around!”
“I saw this place while visiting a friend and decided to try it out.
It’s a fairly big coffee shop/cafe with comparable seating both indoor and outdoor. It’s attached to the Calvary Chapel in Garden Grove, so plenty of parking available.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their items, even offering drink and food suggestions.
I ordered their signature Churro Latte that has house made dulce de leche, vanula and cinnamon. It definitely taste like a light churro, not overly sweet.
Great spot, would definitely come back soon.”

“Best Korean BBQ in OC! Love the food and the service. Did i mention free Thrifty's ice cream?”
Online Reservation Available
“Family run restaurant, very generous portions, and tasty food. We ordered the beef kebabs, beef shawarma, and gyro, we made the mistake of ordering additional rice... The portions are so big and there was so much rice we didn't need the additional rice but it was so tasty so we didn't mind it. Even with the current economy and the price going up everywhere, this is one of the more affordable restaurants to feed my family of four.”
“Lived in Thailand and am picky re Thai food. This small family diner has very good and well-priced Thai food vs other nearby more upscale Thai restaurants and the Anaheim Packing House. Green curry and Pad Thai very tasty (medium spicy for me was plenty zip!). Lunch pricing specials. Dishes come with salad, spring roll, delicious brown rice (mine never tastes as good at home) and sauces. Never mind no alcohol served, it's all about the food. And don't forget the coconut ice cream, not store- bought, with coconut bits and peanuts ( decline the peanuts if you're allergic, NBD). Worth the trip! Also near mall shopping do you can walk off all that good food! Spent $15 for lunch green curry, jasmine tea and coco IC! Super service from Joy! Very clean bathroom in back, no frowns.”
“The inside looks like a typical American Korean restaurant, but I can understand why the restaurant is called Gamjatang. Two men added kalguksu noodles to the gamjatang casserole. The noodles were chewy, the broth was delicious, there was a lot of meat, and it was soft and not fishy. It just tastes the same as what I had in Korea. They generously gave us perilla leaves and if you want to eat gamjatang, you can come here.”
“I had a fantastic experience at this place! The food and drinks were amazing—full of flavor and beautifully presented. The margarita was definitely my favorite drink—perfectly balanced and refreshing. A big shoutout to Jose the bartender for his excellent customer service. He was friendly, attentive, and gave great food suggestions that really elevated the meal. Highly recommend checking this spot out!”
“I had an amazing visit to Buca di Beppo in Garden Grove, such a great place right in Orange County. This is my new favorite place to go for authentic Italian Cuisine. Sammii recommended the chicken parmigiana and red velvet cake and it was really delicious. It felt great to get such a friendly welcome upon showing up as well. Sammii was kind, so helpful going way above and beyond to make sure my time there was incredible. Adrianna also took some really great pics that our family loves. I have absolutely no complaints at all I highly recommend everyone to check this place out and find out for yourself why everyone is so pleased with the food and service.”
“We had a great breakfast! The buffet was well stocked and the food was fresh and tasty. Our server, Ruben, was very friendly and helpful. His manager, Ryan, was also very friendly and gave us lots of pointers on attractions that we could go visit. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.”
“Highly recommend! Great for the whole family. The server was super nice and the food was delicious! We ordered the burrito way and the baked Alaska. Excellent. The fish melted in the mouth and the sauces were yummy. Great presentation too. The kids had tamago. They always like the sweet egg sushi.
Kid-friendliness: I always see family with kids here. And my kids eat their food. All good.”
“Everything was good. Good food, friendly and funny waitress, they even gave us 10% off because we are here for a birthday meal. The skewers auto rotate which is very nice. The only thing I wish is the food can be cooked faster for bigger parties. Some dish recommendations: scallop, hot dog, lame, beef.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“Good spot that’s 24 hours! Sister had pho and I had a beef plate with eggs that came out on sizzling platter. Also had Vietnamese coffee. Food was great service, well once food was ordered and dropped never had any further interaction. I wanted another coffee only nobody came to check up on us so it was never ordered. Food great and service not so good.”
“I come here often started coming about a week ago more frequently because I moved back to the area , always had good food , never got sick from here gone to this location for years . Just lately I've notice that the crew here do a great Job ! I recently was burned really bad were I had second degree burns I looked like Freddy cooger from a horror film I was treated with kindness and respect regardless of appearance. I just want the community to know we have hard working people here that do their best I wish I lived even closer just have the same awesome customer service you guys rock and have treated me very well . Very grateful to have such awesome people working and have workers actually be professional, it maybe labeled fast food here but in my books it's a restaurant that presents itself at a high standard other fast food chains should reflect in a team like this one thank you guys keep up the great work no good deed shouldn't go unrecognized!
Oh those chicken and waffle sticks are bomb along with the Boba milk tea drinks I hope those new items around to stay !”
“Rose tteokboki - pretty good but so much sausage when the main should be ttok
kimchi jeon - asked for extra crispy and the bottom side was burnt
Sweet corn - portion was too big. Wish they made it smaller for less $”
Takeout Restaurants
“This is my new favorite spot for chicken katsu - it's so juicy and flavorful, and the bento box is so well put-together. While the main highlight is the katsu, every other part of the bento box is great, from the takoyaki to the gyoza, and those little animal waffles, so cute and so tasty! The owners are very friendly as well. Eating here always brings a smile to my face, I've only been twice so far, but I will absolutely be coming back again soon!”
“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.”
“Went for an early dinner on Tuesday. I was surprised to find a brand new AYCE menu option at the Garden Grove location. It is $24 and available all day. There is a lot of ramen, appetizers and sushi rolls to choose from.
I had the tonkatsu black ramen which had a lot of toppings. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. The broth was fantastic. I also had the tonkatsu miso ramen. Just as delicious and recommend both.
For appetizers I recommend the grilled gyoza, the shrimp tempura and the egg rolls. The char is the grilled gyoza took it to another level for me. The tempura is crispy and not oily at all. The egg rolls were crispy and filled with flavorful vegetables.
For sushi rolls I got a California roll, a Dragon roll, an OMG roll and spam musubi. The rolls are all really packed with ingredients and all fresh and delicious. The spam musubi is really thick cut. I recommend all of them.
The AYCE MENU is only available at the Garden Grove location and I cannot wait to go back and try more options.”
“It's the same as the best Chinese restaurant in town when I was a child. This is the only place where you can enjoy the same atmosphere and taste as you remember. I really, really love this restaurant.
Rajogi, scorched rice, black bean noodles, jjamppong, and noodles are all so delicious.”
“Nice little place. I was looking for something different from the normal ramen or pho for dinner. I have had jjambbong at a couple of other places and they were good. This place was also good. I ordered the seafood with a rib soup dish and some dumplings. They did not disappoint. The dumplings were chicken with veggies. I put a couple in my soup and that really upped the flavor. The soup can be spicy to many and being an Asian dish it could start you on fire if not careful. I opted to try it mild and it still had some spice. It was a perfect for a cold night. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.”
“Although the restaurant name is quite direct, the menu is filled with bold creative pizza flavors and my favorite: the option to do half and half toppings. Favorites include the Greek, Mediterranean, Indian and Thai. Absolutely delicious, almost making it worth the steep cost. I went here over a decade ago prior to even going fully vegan, still dream of it and come when I can. Oh - just don’t get the chicken strips, they’re just garden chicken strips lol not worth it.”
“Definitely recommended. Service so nice and food so fresh 👍👍👍”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I took my very picky 95 year old mother for dinner. We were warned by a friend to order in advance, which was key. She had an enormous fried chicken dinner, which while a bit pricey was delicious. We did use napkins to soak up the oil on the plate first.
I had the Fish and Chips, and it was delicious. Ordered my mom's chicken ahead by 25 minutes. So we only had a five minute wait for her food, important since "hangry" is her middle name.
The one downside which basically ruined dinner for us, and other diners, were a family whose kid was literally screaming, laughing at the top of her lungs for 45 minutes straight. The family sat at the farthest end of the restaurant while their noisy daughter was two tables away. Screaming.
We couldn't hear ourselves talk, and she was literally louder than everything else in the restaurant. The staff were young and hard working, understaffed if anything, and the manager should have had a chat with the family about quieting the child or leaving. It was unconscionably unacceptable behavior by the parents. We figured the daughter was 5-7.
I'm the father of two boys, one of whom was "spirited", but we never allowed that behavior. We either didn't go out with them until they showed they could behave properly, or in the case of a meltdown, we promptly took them outside till they cooled off. We had more than a few dinners where one of us sat in the car with one of boys! Family friendly does not mean "out of control" playground behavior.
I suppose it's not fair to ask the young kids working there to be put in the position of reminding parents that they need to respect their fellow diners. Especially with the level of hate and rage in current society.
But it's also not the role of the customers. We did see a large family wait for five minutes to order, discuss the screaming kid, and left, unable to tolerate it. Oh, and they had kids with them the same age.
Parking was a bit strange. You park in the lot, go through a gate that locks behind you, into the restaurant. But... that same gates locks so you have to walk around the restaurant into the parking lot to get back to your car. You can't use the gate. Not an issue for me, especially after all that fattening food, but my mom was in a wheelchair, so I propped open the gate, walked to the car in the disabled spot, drive closer to my mom, and fetched her and brought her to the car. So if you have folks with you that have limited mobility be aware. This was on a Saturday night, so maybe the gate isn't locked during the day.
The food was great, I'd recommend to plan and order ahead if you don't want a long wait. Not inexpensive or fast food, but worth it. We'll go again.
Parking: See my post for details.
Kid-friendliness: See post.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but beware of the locking gate. See post.”
“As a fitness enthusiast, I’m very mindful of my diet, but I like to enjoy a cheat meal every now and then. While driving by Firefly Burger, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did!
From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly employees. The restaurant had a great vibe—clean, refreshing, and paired with nice music that made the atmosphere enjoyable.
I ordered the Smoky Burger meal, which comes with fries and a drink. Let me start with the burger: the meat was cooked to perfection, high-quality, and packed with flavor. The bread was hot and fresh, and the portion size was generous. The fries were crispy, and the meal as a whole left me feeling full and satisfied. What really impressed me was how I didn’t feel bloated or sluggish afterward, which is rare for a burger meal.
Firefly Burger has officially become my go-to spot for cheat meals. I’m excited to explore the rest of the menu next time!
If you’re looking for a great burger spot, I highly recommend Firefly Burger—you won’t be disappointed!”
“Highly recommend! Great for the whole family. The server was super nice and the food was delicious! We ordered the burrito way and the baked Alaska. Excellent. The fish melted in the mouth and the sauces were yummy. Great presentation too. The kids had tamago. They always like the sweet egg sushi.
Kid-friendliness: I always see family with kids here. And my kids eat their food. All good.”
“Step in to central Vietnam with this restaurant. The food in this restaurant transported me back to HOI AN. The decors are cute and the restaurant is clean. The food is delicious and the price is fair. We really love their MI QUANG DAC BIET , and their bun bo hue (BBH), both were flavorful and hit the spot. Their banh beo is hoi an style, so that’s exactly what you get when you order it, I love the crispy pork skin in it. The fish sauce was perfect complement to it. The bun thit nuong was good, but I would have preferred the meat to have a more charred and grilled taste to it. Overall, I love this place and would come back. Also if you love corn milk, you should try theirs.”
“Everything was absolutely delicious!!! The hot passion mocktail was the perfect blend of tart and spicy. We had the duck tacos and pumpkin and prawn soup, which we would make a special trip back for. Manny was excellent and checked on us throughout the meal. Above and beyond service! There was live music with an amazing violinist and pianist. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Plus it's absolutely beautiful inside!”

“Nevermind the drinks - they're amazing, btw, not too sweet - the craziest part of this shop: I'm literally sitting in this shop right now sipping my black sesame silk tofu when I realized that the background music is customized to this shop. They're literally ballads about silken tofu and black sesame. 11/10”
“If your looking for a juice bar better than any other juice bar,this is it.The absolute sweetest,smart,and family minded with the only intention of making you feel better than when you arrived,location.
Not to mention for those whom are God grounded,at Brothers juice,it's called brothers because they will be your fam.
And if any body disrespects it,Haymaker will find you lol.Garden Grove for life

“We tried the galbitang and bibimmyun—both simple dishes, but they were so flavorful and comforting, like something made with a grandmother’s touch. The banchan were amazing too. The service really stood out; they kept checking on us, even during their lunch break. If we lived nearby, this place would definitely be a regular spot for us!
Just a heads-up—it’s a bit warm inside, and the sunlight hits certain spots, but honestly, it adds to the cozy vibe, like eating at your grandma’s house in Korea.
Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor”
“My daughter only loved the salty egg cupcakes and jelly coffee there. Delicious desserts 👍🏻 reasonable prices and honestly loved the serviced🥰. Those young people there always called my name every time I picked up, even on some days when I wore a mask 😷😂 And i got a gift dessert on Father’s Day either 😂😍”

“The food is AMAZING ! The ribs, the Mac n cheese, the green beans, the cornbread, everything we had was over the top delicious and the service was great !! Our new favorite place ❤️”
“I love this place, their food is delicious and service is great, the rice, chicken kebab, everything was great, definitely will come back for lunch and I recommend to anyone looking to eat some delicious food.”
“Extremely good crab dish for about $40 but you get a whole fresh (raw) crab and they show you how to eat it so I was quite happy about it. The server opened up the crab and squeezed the meat out right there for you. I didn’t expect this awesome food performance from the food court type restaurant. Other Korean dishes are very good too. My favorites are the seafood pancake and the tofu soup. Totally worth a stop! One of the not many places I want to be back!”
“Authentic taste of Eastern European cuisine magically transports one back to one’s childhood through the tastebuds, aromas. A place of nostalgia. Their catering for special events never disappoints, but impresses with its uniqueness.”
“The catfish medium is good for 3 people and it’s so GOOD seriously!!! The porridge is just so so in my opinion. Will come again for its catfish.”
“Good ambiance. need to be early to get seated or call for reservation. love the place👍❤️”

“what a great secret, always looked around for a good restaurant that would be open on the Holidays, they did not disappoint awesome food, awesome service. will seeing them more.”
“Best spot for hang out with your group…Trust me you won’t regret”
“It's not bad I like it. If there were more selections I'd give it a 5 star”
“A friend recommended this place and it takes month before I decided to visit. The service i receive was excellent! I think this is an underrated spot. Had some pizza and it didnt disappoint. I thought of coming back with my family”
“Korean BBQ House – Where Smoke, Sizzle, and Smiles Collide
Fresh off a food high from Casa del Rey, we kept the flavor train rolling and hit up Korean BBQ House in Garden Grove the next day—and whoa, talk about back-to-back culinary victories. This place wasn’t just dinner—it was a full-on experience, equal parts campfire cookout, meat lover’s paradise, and family bonding therapy (the delicious kind).
We sat down, fired up the grill, and things escalated quickly—in the best way possible. My son went full carnivore mode on the beef, grilling it like he’s been doing this his whole life. Perfectly marinated, juicy, with just the right char—he was in his element. If there had been a trophy for “Most Focused BBQ Enthusiast Under 12,” he’d have taken gold.
And the kids? Oh man, the kimchi rice and grilled octopus were hits. I half-expected some picky eater drama, but nope—those little food critics dove in like they were born in Seoul. The kimchi rice had that perfect balance of heat, tang, and umami, and the octopus? Tender, just spicy enough, and charred to perfection. Not a single “ew” or “what is that” was heard—just satisfied chewing and chopstick clacking.
The vibe in there? Cozy chaos. It smelled like heaven (if heaven has a meat smoker), the energy was upbeat without being overwhelming, and everyone looked like they were having a good time—because they were. You grill your own food, you talk, you laugh, you maybe smoke out your eyebrows a little—it’s all part of the fun.
Korean BBQ House is now locked in the family memory bank as one of those meals—the kind we’ll randomly bring up years from now, like “Remember the time Elijah grilled 10 pieces of beef like a little BBQ boss?” Yeah. That kind.
Two days. Two meals. Two totally different cuisines. One happy, full family. We call that a win.”
“Did you know that there lies a quaint sushi place that has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike? Now, you do! Kyotori has a warm, inviting vibe. It offers a casual dining experience that doesn't compromise on the quality of its dishes.The menu has an array of sushi options, from the classic rolls, nigiri and sashimi to more innovative ones that cater to both traditional and adventurous tastebuds. Each dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients. The chefs take great pride in their creations.The Jalapeño Albacore Roll and the Scallop & Lobster Baked Roll stand out as must-try dishes for any sushi lover. The Jalapeño Albacore Roll has excellent balance and flavor. This roll blends heat and delicacy in a way that enhances the fish's natural flavor without overpowering it.The Scallop & Lobster Baked Roll is a luxurious indulgence and my favorite! This roll is generously filled with tender scallops and succulent lobster, then topped with a creamy, savory sauce before being baked to perfection. It is a comforting dish. The seafood is cooked just right, maintaining its juiciness. It's a dish that both comforts and excites, making it an unforgettable part of any meal at Kyotori.What sets this restaurant apart, however, is not just the quality of its food but the exceptional service. Dave and Thinh went above and beyond to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, making diners feel valued and appreciated. Whether you are a sushii connoisseur or a newcomer to Japanese cuisine, Kyotori offers an enjoyable meal that promises to leave you coming back for more!”

“Went there for dinner and a few drinks. The Dinner and dessert were great, and the few drinks I had were spot on. The staff was great, and entertaining. I will return when I come back to the area!”
“We purchase Dungeness crab from Song Hy and have Grab and Go cook and prepare for us. Add on some butter garlic noodles and fried shrimp to complete the meal. Always yummy.”
“This place was amazing! I came here last year with my wife and her family and it was exceptional. The noodles were my favorite part. I hope to come visit again when touring again in California!”
“Stone bowl bibimbap is what they are known for - I'd recommend you order that. Comes out piping hot and with all the fixings. The Bibim Naengmyeon is also very tasty and tastes similar to how it's served in Korea.”
“The food was great. This would be a great place to take your date.”
“First time there for Sunday lunch. Attentive crew, dim lighting, fresh meats, good variety of beef, chicken and pork, cuttlefish and shrimp too. Great service throughout. Wish there were vegetables and fish for grilling. Please offer veggie and fish options. Way better than Sunday Brunch for the price. Lots of other rooms to accommodate groups of 6-45 guests. We prefer the more open, spacious main dining room. Will certainly make it back there.”
“So this happened Friday night braddah’s and sista’s (Frat House Garden Grove “The return of the Sicilianswinger Tom you betta ask somebody!! Tonight 10 June 2022 9pm doors open tell them The Sicilianswinger Tom sent you). I went to an amazing piece of OC LGBTQIA Community history opened in 1985 by Ted Heier one of the first, and only bar/clubs like it for many years in Orange County. Still is one of very few. Ted Heiers legacy lives on through his amazing family and friends who still run it with all the safe warm and positive uplifting spirit the Frat House has always been known for. I know I used to frequent this place with all my friends in the 90’s… oh no showing my age!! 🤣 This place was always a secure, safe, positive supporting space for so many amazing for a lot of us native Southern Californians and Visitors to come and really let your hair down, and get loose!! I saw a lot of amazingly hot couples and singles of all diversity’s represented. Most of my lifestyle couples and single friends used to love this place and it seems to still be providing that safe secure fun positive vibe to this day. Oh ya for all my Braddahs and Sista’s in arms they really know how to take care of us military trust me let them know you are valid ID required, and they will be sure you get some real VIP treatment.. so come on up from Camp Pendleton, even all the way from 32nd street get a room close to the club this place is definitely worth it!! For all my lifestyle braddahs and sistas this place is the real deal just small enough to really enjoy all of it to its full potential and just big enough well you know…. 😉 they’re are only open Fridays and Saturday nights for now, just trying to recover from the last few years of Covid etc. However I’m very confident this place will be opening up again more days and hours real soon!! I’d like to give a Specail thanks to Ted’s Daughter Shelly her husband Johnny, her best Freind and operations manager Chris, all the bartenders Janet, Eric, Cristina (Ricardo), and victor for the attentiveness shown to me and all the patrons equally there that evening. Also last but not least the DJ who was on point playing some of the best Progresive/ and old school latin variations of genre’s keeping the mood continuously groovy!!”
“fun times. haven't been here in months. A young lady by the name of Jordan was bartending. I played pool and cracked jokes with her. made me feel at home. 🤓”
“Very delicious good food and great service Recommend for family Come there to enjoy food and have good time with family and friends”
“The food is amazing. Everything is served for a group. Big portions of Everything and everything is delicious. Try the salt and pepper shrimp. AMAZING! Great service too and the waiter spoke perfect English.”
“Went for the first time last night as we are visiting from Las Vegas. We absolutely loved it. The service from both the servers and owner were subpar. The food and drinks were to die for, especially the food. We got to enjoy karaoke singing from the other patrons. The owner was extremely accommodating towards my service dog. He had a few questions which is normal but he said he had never had one in his establishment before us. Will definitely be back when we are in town ?? Lots of love from us! Thank you for making it a special night.”
“Why do Mariscos have such great Horchata? I was so thirsty and craving a Horchata so I pulled into the next spot that would have Horchata and it was so good here!”
“We had a great breakfast! The buffet was well stocked and the food was fresh and tasty. Our server, Ruben, was very friendly and helpful. His manager, Ryan, was also very friendly and gave us lots of pointers on attractions that we could go visit. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.”
“I’ve never had a bad meal here. It’s advertised as a vegetarian restaurant, but is actually all vegan. I tried the Bún Bò Huê and BBQ “pork” spring rolls which were both top notch. Highly recommend.”
“Get yourself a brownie and peanut butter and jelly bar for fewer calories than a burrito bowl (if their nutrition labels are to be believed). These are my 2 favorites — fudgy, moist, and with a decent amount of protein. If you are going to get their mini donuts or cake, be prepared for them to be pretty dense as well, and not a typical cakey texture. They use ingredients like coconut oil, protein powder, and nut flours for the base of their treats, so although they may not be super healthy tasting, they do tend to have that healthy kind of ‘vegan cookie’ texture. Pricey, but worth it!”
“It's a popular spot for drinking but they also serve food. The best way to describe their cuisine is part-Vietnamese, part-Gastropub. I wish they had some real menus available, though. My phone had a hard time scanning the QR code.”
“So this is my new go to Thai place. I've been here a handful of time before they rebranded and remodeled. The servers are sweet and accommodating, the food is amazing and plated beautifully, the decor and music is very modern and creates a nice atmosphere to eat in. Would recommend to anyone looking for Thai cuisine.”
“Best Vietnamese food I've ever tried. Didn't have a chance to go to the restaurant but got some to go foods from there. The foods are delicious, I wish I could speak their language so I can try all of the foods on their menu. Would recommended if you ever visit Westminster CA.”
“Run by the hotel this was a nice place to grab a bite to eat. The menu has a variety of options that should satisfy all appetites. The food was nice, but also nothing too exciting or anything to rave about. Staff and waitstaff are super friendly. Would recommend for sure.”
“The food was really good. Wasn't expecting much to be honest but it turned out to have some good options. Even had some green posole and smoked ham for breakfast, plus an omelet station with fresh ingredients to choose from. Great service as well. Don't get me wrong don't expect a fancy restaurant but for a buffet inside a Hotel/ Waterpark it's perfect.”
“The green grape smoothie was underwhelming but the black sugar boba was the better choice.
Green grapes tasted like water. I did like their hermosa beach branch. This place has a great atmosphere too. Very Clean.”
“My Family and I went there for the first time to see Anthem Road (great band) but will definitely make this Bar one of our Go to places. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Very friendly people that work there”
“This is a restaurant located inside Great Wolf, so they appropriately offer a kids' menu and coloring activities to keep children entertained. We visited during the weekend and waited about 10 minutes without a reservation, but we were not bored thanks to the small shows happening around us. The food was affordable and decent in taste, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.”
“Da, I have eaten Nem chua from this tiem many times, my mother said it was delicious, these days I just bought shrimp and meat tapioca cake and Nam cake from Kim Tam store for the whole family to eat, Oi!!!!! !!Everyone compliments that it's delicious, the cake is just right, the pink is too thin or sticky, so please invite OBCC, anyone who hasn't eaten this potential cake, then OBCC and ANH CHI should try it first.”
“The food and drinks are great here. Yvette always does a wonderful job as well.”
“I love this place the food is great the tables are clean it can get alittle smoky and hard to breathe in there when its jam packed and everyone is cooking so try and visit early when its not a full house”
“The Pakistani cuisine was exceptional, and the service was outstanding; however, the lack of air conditioning created an uncomfortably warm dining environment. An immediate upgrade is required, especially in anticipation of the upcoming summer season.”
“Best Korean BBQ dining experience! Great quality tasty value for money BBQ wahyu beef & ribeye”
“This is the best korean hot pot place that I have been. We order the beef rib and octopus hot pot. The broth was so flavourful. It is so much better to eat with ramen. I would recommend the fried rice which they will mix with the broth and cook it on the pot after you’re done eating. The cons are that the restaurant is small and always crowded, so the wait is long. The price is on the higher side, especially if you go with 2 people. Would recommend go in with a big group and share the hot pot.”
“Ate there twice. Food was good, loved that there were vegetarian and vegan options. The best part, the staff. The first time we had Nico as our server, the second time we had Tracey. Both of them were excellent! Much better than the average server!
Vegetarian options: They have impossible meat for the burgers. Also, they had vegan ravioli. Both were good.”
“It's a cash only food2go.Really good BBQ pork, and quick service.You can get 3 different parts of the pork, Shoulder, Belly, and Leg.Shoulder and Belly are the best for making a killer BBQ pork sandwich.Pork belly is usually sold out by 6 pm.”
“good spot 2 easy and enjoy fierce gud times moments with good Ole folks yyeesss”
“This place was absolutely amazing!! The food i got was wonderful, and they’re so kind here. The customer service was top tier. Next time i’m back on the area im definitely gonna go back.”
“I have been to many Boiling Point locations (in LA and OC) and I have to admit that this location is the best one so far in terms of space and service. This Boiling Point has a lot of tables so they can provide more and faster service than other locations. Our host is friendly and attentive ??. My party and I ordered their beef hot pot and Jin Tea butterfly pea flower lemonade & pink dragon (dragon fruit, lychee and oolong), and we enjoyed that combination a lot. I will definitely be back again in the near future! Keep up with the great service!
Dietary restrictions: A lot of garlic based sauces here and might have a lot of peanuts trace so be careful if you're allergic to those ingredients.
Parking: They have a shared parking lot with other businesses, not too difficult in finding a spot.
Wheelchair accessibility: Double-door entrance and plenty of spaces inside the restaurant.”

“My family and friends in Orange County-California often come to Van's Bakery to buy cakes, candy, beef jerky and especially delicious coffee. We then moved to Texas but continued to buy and they delivered to our door fast and on time. The dedicated service of the Owner and staff is commendable. Vietnamese friends should stop by and buy products from Van's Bakery, famous in Little Saigon Vietnamese community. As 2024 begins, we wish Owners and staff a Happy & prosperous New Year! Nguyen Family.”
“Discovered Harry's over 20 years ago, when we lived nearby. While the Spires across the street has now turned into Goldenwest, glad Harry's is still there. Always enjoyed the pork chop and eggs breakfast but everything was good, great portions and reasonable prices, good coffee and great service. Moved away but miss our favorite breakfast spot, still!”

“Today went to get breakfast with my friend Damon at Denny’s on Harbor Boulevard. Maricela was our waitress, and she was amazing. Thank you Maricela for making our breakfast great. Perfect service, and we had nice conversation with her. We are coming back to see Maricela very soon. Thanks for a wonderful experience.”
“Came here with my family for my cousin's birthday. Always love this buffet. Full sushi buffet. In addition they also have a full Mongolian barbecue style portion of the buffet. Similar to the common fast food Mongolian barbecue that you can find around town. They have various fish entrees. Also dishes that one could find typically at your local Asian-style fast food restaurants. And all buffet style, so it is all you can eat. ?”
“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.”
“As a fitness enthusiast, I’m very mindful of my diet, but I like to enjoy a cheat meal every now and then. While driving by Firefly Burger, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did!
From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly employees. The restaurant had a great vibe—clean, refreshing, and paired with nice music that made the atmosphere enjoyable.
I ordered the Smoky Burger meal, which comes with fries and a drink. Let me start with the burger: the meat was cooked to perfection, high-quality, and packed with flavor. The bread was hot and fresh, and the portion size was generous. The fries were crispy, and the meal as a whole left me feeling full and satisfied. What really impressed me was how I didn’t feel bloated or sluggish afterward, which is rare for a burger meal.
Firefly Burger has officially become my go-to spot for cheat meals. I’m excited to explore the rest of the menu next time!
If you’re looking for a great burger spot, I highly recommend Firefly Burger—you won’t be disappointed!”
“This place is so perfectly crafted it literally looks like it was made in the sims. The owners and employees are so incredibly friendly and you can tell it was made from pure love and passion from the decor to the menu and shop. Also the food is super duper yummy as well as the drinks (pumpkin all year round yayy), and a lot of the menu is vegan friendly!!! Totally going again soon, especially with the tea room opening soon too!”
“If I could leave a higher star rating, I absolutely would! live out of state and was looking for a place to host my sister in law's baby shower. The very sweet Alisha (and her staff) went out of her way over and over to make this such a beautiful day. The location was adorable, food was insanely delicious, the drinks and desserts were absolutely incredible. And my sweet sister was delighted. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the best day! I will make a stop in here each time I'm in town.”
“Went for an early dinner on Tuesday. I was surprised to find a brand new AYCE menu option at the Garden Grove location. It is $24 and available all day. There is a lot of ramen, appetizers and sushi rolls to choose from.
I had the tonkatsu black ramen which had a lot of toppings. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. The broth was fantastic. I also had the tonkatsu miso ramen. Just as delicious and recommend both.
For appetizers I recommend the grilled gyoza, the shrimp tempura and the egg rolls. The char is the grilled gyoza took it to another level for me. The tempura is crispy and not oily at all. The egg rolls were crispy and filled with flavorful vegetables.
For sushi rolls I got a California roll, a Dragon roll, an OMG roll and spam musubi. The rolls are all really packed with ingredients and all fresh and delicious. The spam musubi is really thick cut. I recommend all of them.
The AYCE MENU is only available at the Garden Grove location and I cannot wait to go back and try more options.”
“This place really took me by surprise. I thought it was going to be a decent experience for the pricing. I tried and was not disappointed. This place is actually pretty fire ? if you’re an omakase eater. Most of the cooked dishes were surprisingly bomb ?. So I give this a place a recommendation for being in GG.”
