Restaurants in Mission Viejo

“The best açaí I’ve ever had. And I’m from Brazil and know what a good and authentic açaí is! And the service at this place is outstanding! Our attendant Bryan was very kind and attentive with our order! Loved it! Thank you!”

“We decided to stop at this Dizzy Bird location after going to the Irvine location numerous times before. We didn't know it was in a food court, but I have to say that the food was quicker and tastier than the Irvine location. The service was also better. I don't know how they're doing it at this location, but everything seems much more streamlined than in Irvine; they should really keep it up.”

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated. Michael took us to our table and was very kind and professional. Pedro came by with our bread and water and said hello. He is one of the hardest working individuals at the restaurant. Eddie our server came by and took our orders with a bottle of Austin Hope and bread to start. My wife ordered a chicken breast salad and I had the chef's special stroganoff which was amazing. Unfortunately my wife's salad came out 30 minutes after my stroganoff which was a cardinal sin in the restaurant business and we mentioned it was not acceptable. Eddie apologized and we also had Steven, the GM, come by and also apologize and ensure the salad would be out shortly. The salad was delivered, of course after I ate my entree and Steven dropped off and apologetic gift certificate for an appetizer during our next visit. We also ordered an additional beef stroganoff plus an order of meatballs to take home for tomorrow. We undertake things happen and it's certainly nice to see the restaurants busy again but a party of two receiving their entrees 30 minutes apart is not conducive with quality service. I am guessing the chef either misplaced the order or overlooked the obvious and we hope next time we will not have such issues as the restaurant is very good and in a fantastic location. Michael also came back around and stated he was concerned about this mishap and would look into this. As a retired government administrator and former restaurant manager in my college days I expect the simple things like entrees being delivered at the same time to be in sync with quality service and dining. We will be back and see if in fact this was an isolated incident. Good food and ambiance plus. As a writer for Trip Advisor, Yelp and Google I am graceful in my comments and specific in areas needed improvement. Thanks you.”

“Loved their chocolate desert!”

“I love this place! I am on an anti-inflammatory diet and this is one of the few places I can eat. Double bonus - they serve grass fed beef, which is the only beef I can have. Their burgers are one of the best I have ever had. My personal favorite is the California Burger. It is amazing!

Dietary restrictions: They have grass fed beef, which is perfect for anti-inflammatory diet.”

“Wonderful food and great service!”

“Fast ... very friendly... great foods and great prices... A+++++....”

“Husband and I went there last night during Haunt Hopping in Santa Ana -- and WOW!! Absolutely delicious, filling burgers and crispiest, hottest fries! Very friendly service. Hoping they open some locations near us, but until then, we'll make special trips -- they're that good!”

“We tried the Chicken Marsala, Lobster Ravioli and Gnocchi in VodkaSauce along with the Piccolino dinner salad and Tiramisu. All was magnifico! 😘”

“The food is amazing!!! Knee is the best waitress ever👏👏👏👏🥰🥰”

“If I could give 10 stars they would get it! I rarely go online to write a review, and if I do it’s because I had a horrible experience. I wrote a positive review maybe twice in my life here’s my third. Start with the cashier, I really can’t say I ever had anyone serve me with a better attitude than the guy who helped me and I say right by the register and he kept that amazing attitude with all customers. At first I had 3 chicken tacos from the taco Tuesday deal (which I might say isn’t cheap, but quality costs) which were surprisingly good because I don’t love shredded chicken. The chicken was so good I decided to get an asada one as well just to make sure they really are as good as it seems. They crushed it, asada taco came to over 7$ after taxes and it glad to say I’ll be happy to pay that price anytime anywhere to get that same taco!”

“Great chicken, great food. Didn’t have super high expectations originally but was proven wrong pretty quickly. The service is pretty slow, but it may depend on the amount of people there”

“Excellent art-inspired bakery treats. Sean (sp?) and his team’s hospitality is top-shelf.”

“The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. The portions were generous without sacrificing quality, and you could really tell that a lot of care went into the menu. The ambiance was just as impressive. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a perfect balance between casual comfort and an upscale dining feel. Adding to the experience was the live, soothing jazz music that created a relaxed and elegant vibe throughout the evening. The service was attentive and friendly, which made the entire experience even better. Between the outstanding food, the cozy yet refined setting, and the beautiful live jazz, O'Neil's is a gem. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a memorable night out.”

“Healthy food that is actually very tasty! It is clean and the service friendly and professional.”

“We had a beautiful meal and noise level has gone way down due to new elements on ceiling. The service was impeccable. Attentive but didn't rush us. I tried the spinach salad with added shrimp for first time as wanted something lighter. It was amazing with warm vinegar dressing. The salmon special was also excellent. Without asking our waiter brought out a tiramisu to share as noticed we were celebrating a birthday. This was probably the best tiramisu I've ever had including those in Italy!”

“#SuperBowlSundayBrunch 🌷🤙😜🥳😎”

“I love the Savour Pastry shop under the new ownership. I love the quality and taste of their products tremendously. My favorite items on the menu are Almond Croissant, Cream Broiler and Almond Cake plus all the rest of the pastry they make. I take their pastry to all my friends and to every gathering that I am invited to. I am so glad to support a local business, which is providing quality food and excellent services.”

“Yum!! I hope this place picks up, they have a great space and tacos hit the spot. Wish i had taken before pics. Ordered a chicken and al pastor taco, and the Birria quesatacos special. The birria knocked it out of the park! I ended up ordering an extra asada taco to try, and to finish off the consommé (no waste!). There's plenty of seating and a nice patio area. I liked the bench seats with the curved back, and bathroom was clean.”

“This is my 4th time coming here. Their food is sooo good 😊
Every I came here, I wrote a review but they seemed to have disappeared so I’m writing a new one. I ordered the chicken biryani because my server Amid recommended it. Amid was very courteous and attentive. If you like Indian food, this is one of the best 😋”

“Good food, good service, good people
The people are kind and fast with no detriment to the food’s quality
Definitely go here when you’re free on a weekday before 2:30pm!!

Dietary restrictions: I personally have Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and there are plenty of options for people who have medical restrictions or are just picky”

“Very friendly staff and delicious pizza and wings!!”

“i am at aloha bbq great place to eat!!! :)”

“I tried their “Dos Enchiladas Rojas” with black beans, Salsa Mango and Pico de Gallo sauces. It’s apart of their new $10 bundle deals. I’d say the Enchilades were very good. The chicken was a little burned. But eating the Enchilada with beans and chips really helped bring all the flavor together. I truly enjoyed this meal!

“Always great wine and food here!”

“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast. Manager thanked the veterans and gave us a handshake and a flag. He even had a table set for the missing soldiers , sailors, and Marines. Happy that everyone in restaurant was having a great time. Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas”

“We come to this restaurant often. The service and food are both great and I would highly recommend it! I would especially like to thank Octavio for taking such good care of us the last time that we were in!”

“Best, new family owned place! My first time trying Korean BBQ...had the spicy pork...soooooo good! Environment was very welcoming...and customer service was awesome! Kuddos to owners Maggie and Earl...you’re doing a great job! #customerforlife”

“I simply love this place their prices are great the cake are fresh and super delicious, super professional and on time foe delivery. I highly recommend this bakery if you want a delicious fresh beautiful cake this is definitely the place. Thank you Simply Cakes and cupcakes for making our beautiful retirement cake. 🤩”

“Mocha was ok, nothing special and bland. The California breakfast sandwich was really good. Bread could have been grilled more (too soft) but really delicious.
Friendly and polite staff.”

“Great vibes and crew. Food has great variety (large or small portions) and service is quick and efficient. I bring friends and family days and nights when we want frssh Italian meals away from home.”

“Siam Thai is a family owned establishment in my neighborhood with friendly ownership and conscientious service. My favorite dishes are the Crying Tiger Salad, Papaya Salad, and the Honey Duck. The individual ingredients are superior quality and spiciness levels are accurate to the requested amount. I prefer very low spice in order to taste each natural flavor. The Boba Tea bar is a newer addition and the drinks are decorative and well mixed- especially the Taro Milk Tea. This restaurant is part of my weekly dining out ritual.”

“Iris, the owner and the main man in the kitchen are nothing short of awesome. Happy hour rules, food is great, and the best service. Love this place and I encourage everyone to come try at least twice.

By far the best place in MV for beers and a game. Kids will have fun too!”

“I absolutely love your strawberry matcha drink it has got to be the best thing iv ever drank! I will definitely be coming back here again because of this amazing experience. Not to mention how clean the place is, absolutely unreal experience. My favorite place to go nowadays LOVE.”

“This restaurant serves the most authentic food I've ever had in the United States. The owner and the staff are extremely kind and friendly. The food is of high quality while the prices are affordable. It's truly a gem. I'll definitely be back!”

“When I signed up for P.F. Chang’s Rewards they sent a coupon to redeem a FREE dessert! I never tried P.F. Chang’s before so this was a great way for me to discover a new taste!

The Red Velvet Cupcake comes with a candy-sweet drizzle to pour on top, but it was a bit sweet combined with the dessert. By itself though, it’s good.

As far as the cupcake itself, it was really tasty! I enjoyed this treat with my dinner and I’m glad I tried it.

I would give their Red Velvet Cupcake a 5/5. ✨”

“Excellent fresh food. We had the vindaloo chicken and chicken biryani dishes. It took a while for the dishes to come out but when they did it was obvious that they were freshly prepared and not sitting in a warming tray in the back.”

“Delicious, in a great spot. Out door seating for that perfect ocean breeze.”

“they go out there way to deliver a beautiful curry, Rice nan, onion bahgee everything beautiful as always..10 out of 10 for everything...Col Carno”

“We just had lunch at the Hasienda on the Lake. The service was excellent. Food was very tasty and fresh. Especially, I would like to thank Gustavo Ortega. He made out visit very enjoyable and made as feel very special.”

“This is our to go place. Food is simple, not oily and taste great. Price is pretty comparable. Portions are good as well. Good place if you want a quick and healthy lunch.”

“Perfect sushie 🍣 Delicious drinks and excellent service🧙‍♀️🧹”

“Had a great time watching the game. Go Hawks!!!”

“Muy deliciosa la comida lugar limpio buen servidor si lo recomiendo”

“Is it the best pizza ever? No. Does it taste good? Yes. Imagine this: it’s 2 am, you are out of luck, Taco Bell? No no I’ve had that 2 times this week. Del Taco? Haha nice, no. WELL WHAT ELSE IS THERE? I don’t really know but I love pizza! This is the place to be.”

“The thin crust pizza was better than expected and the salad was really good. I planned on taking half the salad home but I wound up eating the whole thing. Good decor and good atmosphere. The server was really great. I'm afraid I don't remember her name though.”

“It's exactly what you expect of a place like this and more. They've never gotten an order wrong. Everyone has always been friendly. The drive thru speaker was acting up last time I went so maybe go in to order. But that's genuinely the first problem I've had with the place in like 20 years. That deserves a 5 star rating.”

“One of the best bakeries I’ve ever been to. You can really tell the owner and staff love what they do and their community. Get there early though. It sells out fast!”

“And great for teenagers, Parents, singles and pups! Ice Snow infused with soft serve. The flavored are endless!!”

“Stopped by for a double cheeseburger and happy with the portion and how quickly it came out. They seemed very busy via drive through — definitely would come back. Lady there was very nice.”

“Love this lil place. Service is amazing and love the waitresses -they are always so friendly and welcoming! I really appreciate and am grateful they have a gluten free menu! It’s limited and wish they had more options but it’s so great because I don’t need to worry about getting sick from gluten! Not many sushi places have gluten free menus!”

“Love it. Will be next Tuesday”

“Great place! Hole in the wall with limited seating, but the food was fresh and delicious. Price was not much more than lower quality sushi restaurants.
it gets packed very quick, so reservations is recommended. We didn't have reservations and had to wait about 10-15 minutes.”

“Reminds me of Hawaiian Coffee ❤️”

“The Chile Relleno Burrito!!! Oh and Horchata!!!”

“Absolutely dee- lish! Would definitely go again.”

“I have been to the Sessions in Newport beach a few times and I love everything about the place, great food, great service, and the owner greeted me personally! I would 100% recommend this place for a great family meal!”

“Holly Molly! The best sushi sashimi in OC we have. 🤩🤩 The Chef gave us his secret item at the end which wasn't included in the menu and it was a big fat hit. Even though we were so full I wouldn't mind overeating again 😆”

“Where do I start with this place! Great food, great service, and amazing welcoming staff. Their lobster burrito was different to my palate but very delighting. Creamy delicious creative food. I’ve been to many places to eat and have never sent a review, but Taco Mesa hit it on the head for more. Fun Mexican food that makes you feel good about what you’re eating due to the healthy fresh food! Will definitely be back very soon.”

“Intimate 50 guest pub w exceptional appetizers and entrées at reasonable prices..”

“We love it here! Super good food and nice employees. We went the other night for dinner. My husband got the chicken and beef teriyaki plate with white rice, California rolls, edamame, tempura, and Crunchyroll. They put a great variety of items on the dinner plates and it's so delicious! I got the Chashu ramen. It was delish. It was like a bowl of comfort. The only thing I would suggest is on the ramen there are green onions on top and I wish that they were chopped up instead of in strips. I feel like I always have a hard time chewing strips of green onion, but other than that, everything is so good.”

“I went here for the first time today and I was unsure what to get especially since I am very picky. Thanks to Soad she helped me pick what to eat. She’s so kind and helpful!”

“Sal’s is a class A establishment. I messed up my order (grandma pie with breadcrumb and onion + sausage pinwheel and cannoli + black and white cookies) I ordered for pick up when it should have been delivery. The owner delivered the order himself. The grandma pie was on point and the sausage pinwheel was right! Waiting to taste the desert but im sure it will be great. Thank you Sal’s”

“The place has the best, most fresh, tasting burgers I have eaten in a while. The hamburgers actually taste like hamburgers. Vegies are very fresh, patties are cooked to perfection. The buns are soft and good sized. The place has a good, mellow vibe. The prices are very affordable. $13 por a hamburger combo. My new to go place for burguers.”

“Came for the taco Tuesday ($1.75 street tacos)
Normal menu is also very well priced
Free chips and salsa if you eat in
10/10 but limited seating”

“delicious, just as I remembered”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE Pengo! I literally order my favorite drink every day. (or almost every day) ❤”

“My family and I loooove this place. The food is amazing, great prices and the people are amazing. I honestly don’t have anything negative to say about it. It’s my 5 year old favorite restaurant since he was a toddler and every time we are here we know we are going to have a warm welcome.”

“Nick the owner is a great guy and the staff are super friendly and nice. Food portions were big and fresh. Thanks again for everything coming back everytime we go back to Cali! 👍👍”

“Best Sushi ever, have been there 4 times in two weeks of vacation with friends and family. Great & friendly staff, too!”

“😁Delicious cookies - this company donated cookies to an event I attended last Friday. They are thick, just a quarter of a cookie is all you need. I will definitely buy them as soon as the store opens for my Broker Previews!”

“Macaroon Land makes the best homemade macarons!
Each one is fresh, delicate, and full of flavor. You can really taste the love and care in every bite. Creative flavors, beautiful presentation, and great communication—highly recommend!”

“Every time I'm in that area I stop by to eat at their place. It was always delicious, everything was always fresh, the sauces were always delicious. And the ginger was the best.”

“We sat at the sushi bar and Joe-san was our sushi chef. He was fast, efficient and everything was tasty. We chose the Oh My God roll towards the end and honestly folks? It is OMG spectacular! And so was the Queen Imperial with yellowtail and mango. Great service!!!”

“This place deserves a 6th star for food!! A-mazing authentic Mexican flavor and the price is more than worth it with their generous portions. Best salsa bar EVER!”

“The workers are always super nice and always greeting me when I walk in the service is great as well.

Kid-friendliness: I personally don’t have any kids but when there are kids, the workers are always super nice and friendly to them. As well as with the highschoolers around the area.”

“healthy and delicious, clean and nice plants all around!”

“Ricardo and his staff are great! Had a breakfast burrito and portions were perfect to taste it all instead of one ingredient being overbearing. Salsas and pickled onions compliments the food. Perfect combo with morning coffee!”

“if you’re looking for a huge, thick, doughy donut - THIS IS IT. Not like the other donuts which are too soft. I don’t even like donuts usually but these are soo good. They’re sweet but not too sweet. We will definitely be back”

“I ordered their BLTA on sourdough and a fruit tart. The sandwich was absolutely DELICIOUS!! All the ingredients were crisp and fresh, and the bacon was crispy but not at all burnt! It was literally the best bacon sandwich I've had since moving here. It's a simple comfort food but they absolutely nailed it!! The fruit tart was a delight as well!! The cream was light and sweet with a heavenly tart crust.
The shop's interior was clean and beautifully decorated and they made me feeling right at home. (Also their bathroom was clean and smelt so nice!)
I hope to return soon and try out even more if their pastries. They had some super delicious looking things like a baclava cheesecake and a blueberry scone!!”

“This is now my go to Chinese place in the area. If you are looking for an og Chinese, this is your spot! The food is delicious and at a fair price. I even love the cookie they gave at the end!”

“The food is delicious and the price is reasonable.
It's located in the immersion area, so it's good to eat after shopping or in between meals.
The store interior is also very cute.”

“I Loved The Chicken Very Tasty & Yummy I Wish They Had More Locations Here In California”

“My first love is ice cream.. but key lime pie is my second. And how amazing to find a key lime pie that's like a combo of the two!! Perfectly sweet with just the the amount of tang, and a cool firm texture that will actually amaze you on the first bite. And that doesn't even mention their cookies... of almost every type. My 6-yr-old will forego any other dessert for their cookies. And, frankly, they have the best fruit pies around. The crust, the filling... these people care about every last detail. Go get one.

Kid-friendliness: Best cookies ever.”

“Good food and reasonable price Friendly and wonderful service , definitely will recommend it 👍❤️”

“Great selection.Friendly staff. Best Ding tea I’ve been to. The one in Tustin doesn’t have the same selection and their service is sub par.”

“Cinnamon roll French toast!”

“Tuesdays if is Allie, excellent bartender. I recommended go on Tuesdays, she is very Attentive and always has great atmosphere, the vas has Pool tables ,fun place to enjoy time with friends when is a nice bar tender. The bar Do No sell food . But allow you bring your food.”

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.”

“Best pizza in town!! I can recommend Cicero‘s any day!”

“The Acai bowls are amazing!! Glazed Donut Fro-yo is another of my favorites!!”

“The employees here are so kind and so welcoming! Best atmosphere and the best service. I come here all the time. Alejandro is an incredible guy and super friendly!

Kid-friendliness: Super nice people! Welcoming to all ages.”

“It is very disappointing that your restaurant runs out of chile verde so early in the day. I was told that your restaurant's manager only allows a small amount to be made each day event thought it's a very popular item. Doesn't make sense that you don't want to make more to accommodate your clients. This is why I only gave you a #4 overall rating!”

“We just had lunch at the Hasienda on the Lake. The service was excellent. Food was very tasty and fresh. Especially, I would like to thank Gustavo Ortega. He made out visit very enjoyable and made as feel very special.”

“There bagels are better than the ones in New York. They are always fresh big and super delicious. They even have lox in cream cheese. The staff are always super friendly and helpful.”

“I love the Savour Pastry shop under the new ownership. I love the quality and taste of their products tremendously. My favorite items on the menu are Almond Croissant, Cream Broiler and Almond Cake plus all the rest of the pastry they make.

“A wonderful find. My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience at Sabatinos Italian Bistro this evening. Our server Frederico was professional and quite personable. We started our dinner with two glasses of wine and the bruchetta. The Talbot Chardonnay and the Dry Creek Cabernet were both excellent choices. My wife ordered the eggplant gnocchi, which she loved, and I had the sausage and pepper rigatoni. Both dishes were excellent. The service, food, and ambiance were quite authentic and enjoyable. We spoke with Frederico, who is the ultimate professional, and decided to order a side of meatballs to go as well. This was our first time at Sabatinos, and this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Ask for Frederico as he is the ultimate professional. Highly Recommended.”

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated.

“Really no sauce 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”

“Everything was delicious!! Thanks for the great service Manuel Hernandez”

“Excellent Persian food in warm surroundings at reasonable prices. What everybody calls professional staff with great service, is actually the PERSIAN HOSPITALITY which no Persian restaurant would last without it. Even when you are waiting for your takeout order, they offer you complimentary tea while you wait. Persian moms take their cooking seriously and if the food at a Persian restaurant doesn't meet their high standards, they wouldn't load up the whole family to go there for family dinners and catered parties.”

“One of the best bakeries I’ve ever been to. You can really tell the owner and staff love what they do and their community. Get there early though. It sells out fast!”
