“Christakis has been a go-to favorite for nice dining since the nineties; always great food, always exceptional service. Rack of lamb is the best I've ever had *anywhere*. At this point I guess we're almost part of the family. SO YUM.”
“1st time ordering from here. Food came on time, Quality was amazing. We had Orange chicken, crispy beef, and sweet chili shredded pork. Best all white meat orange chicken in town. Even the rice was fresh and delicious!!! Will definitely be our go to from now on.”
“Service is wonderful. Everyone is friendly. It’s like going to my Obason’s to have dinner. Everything about this place is authentically Okinawan. Oishī”
“This place is a gem! The food is truly authentic and even better than Din Tai Fung. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and served piping hot. The service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and quick. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious Taiwanese cuisine!”
“We came in on a Wednesday around 6:45. We waited about 20 mins for a table. We started with the roti and calamari both were delicious. For entrees we ordered the nasi goreng fried rice which was my favorite dish. Highly recommend! The hainan chicken was good too. The sauces it came with were subtle, I was hoping for more flavor since the fried rice was so flavorful. Our table was wobbly and it was a bothersome while eating but a server came by to refill our waters and noticed the table was wobbly and pushed it against the wall for us and that fixed the issue.”

“The guy who makes the Manti and the Samsa wasn’t there. That made me a little sad but our food came out really fast. It was a very homely atmosphere. The food literally almost caused me to ascend. The food was incredible. I have no complaints.”
“The food was so great! The waiter was so attentive. We had lots left over. And desert to go.”

“Cute yummy açaí place!
Interior is so cute with clean decors. We ordered the cali bowl, ube dream bowl and pandan bowl. Asides from preset bowls, you can choose base and toppings freely.
The fruits are fresh and I love how they have more toppings than other places such as the hemp granola, sunflower seeds, almond butter etc. They also have a new Pandan base. The ube dream bowl is probably my favorite because of the unique base and taste more like a dessert
Service is friendly!
Parking: Plenty of parking”

“Living in the boonies of San Diego Co has benefits…(no traffic jams)…but few awesome perks…(like Tiki bars!!) Luckily the gods aligned, in Orange Co, and our last stop was the Stowaway. Intriguing, dark-painted, one small door marked the front of a strip-mall establishment… hmmm…sorta scary…but not really!! But there were two of us, and we had researched this place…so… The doorman looked at us, said a few things and unlocked a chain. We walked through curtains into the darkest bar I had ever been in, and shuffled toward the green lit bar…which turned red, then blue. The girl bartender handed us a card which we couldn’t read…it was really dark inside. From the shadows, up walked a bearded guy wearing a black shirt with hibiscus’s, smiled, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m “WILL”…can I explain anything to you? We had lots of questions…about drinks, Tiki ceramics, glassware, appetizers…and WILL cheerfully explained everything…He was fun, cheery, smart, and So Nice!! He brought us amazing drinks (a Tropical Margarita, a Cococano and totally fun ceramic sculptures from which to drink…an Angler Zombie Fish with a light, and Carved Volcano mug that had a flame show-by WILL, included!! Awesome!!) Totally wonderful décor…lights, bamboo furniture, comfy stools, the Skull Cave and waterfall, starry night ceiling, cool pool tables with lotsa room around them…everything thought through perfectly!!! We are definitely going back…VERY soon!!!! Thanks so much for everything, WILL!!”
“This place genuinely has the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Their lunch buffet provides a massive array of incredible options, fit for anyones taste. Everything was fantastic, but I HIGHLY recommending trying the biryani. Not to mention the unbelievable mango lassi to pair with the meal.
The buffet is also clean and I was able to get seated immediately on a weekday afternoon.”
Outdoor Dining
“With the correct guidance, learning about stocks or cryptocurrencies and how to profit from them is not that tough. You'll be happy getting in touch with Brian Fischer here on Facebook he gives the best guidance and I guarantee that you will make amazing profit learning from him in couple of weeks.”

“Halal spot ; We were on the way to South back home and stop by this restaurant for our light dinner.
I think it’s family owned and the prices are pretty reasonable. The staff were very friendly, and assisted us in ordering. Everything turned out good, they were super nice providing us extra condiments, etc. Be sure to select your spice level wisely cuz we ended up in tears, but we still enjoyed it though.
We hope that we can visit this place again next time we are on the way back from north
** hoping for a new branch near San Clemente soon.. we will be your regular customers”

Takeout Restaurants
“One of the only pizza joints that will keep you coming back no matter the pizza you order. One of the best Pizza in the state possibly country. Friendly environment , outstanding customer service. Quality of food plus Consistency is what keeps me coming back.
You will not regret it. Your welcome!”
“I love this place and honestly besides the prices being a little steep, I like how everything is prepped and handled. I love how they don’t haggle me for having my bike inside the building compared to other fast food places.
Kid-friendliness: If you treat them right, they will too.”
“Decided to come here for a lunch takeout and was immediately greeted with a courteous smile. I ordered a half chicken katsu and half beef belly curry and it was delicious. Chicken katsu has a nice crunch and texture to it and the beef belly has a nice crisp and soft texture at the same time. I will definitely be back in the near future to their other dishes.”
“I think I just had three of the best tacos of 2024. I walked in here expecting things to be good l, but DAMN these were some delicious tacos. Quesabirria, fried fish, and grilled shrimp were unreal! Brought together with two perfect salsas, the tacos were flavorful, distinct, and filling. You don’t want to miss El Bandito.”
“Best little spot in Tustin! They have a drive thru which I prefer over sitting down at the restaurant itself. Pork shoulder tacos and the steak burrito are my favorites but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the other items. Say yes to the salsa and whipped jalapeño!!”
“Im from Northern California and came for brunk before Disneyland. Not only the buffet was delicious. But the service from Rito was fantastic. Making me feel right at home and like family. Definitely would recommend this place because of Rito and his outstanding service!”

“10 Tomas E is an exceptional server Every time we have been served by Tomas It’s been excellent and always with a smile”
“I’ve gotten this place a couple times through delivery, and I keep coming back for more! I’m usually not a huge ramen fan, but the tonkotsu broth was a perfect mix of flavor and richness without being overwhelming. Loved the noodle texture, the egg was not bad, appreciated the vegetables, and the chashu was fatty but yummy.
I’ve also gotten the cold dipping noodles before—can’t say I was as big of a fan but it could be personal preference! Wasn’t spicy like I was expecting given how red the dipping sauce was.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“As far as sushi spots go. This is worth driving to. It has a friendly vibe and is never very busy. They have a great selection of all kinds of sushi. Whether you like cooked, baked, raw, traditional, tempura, whatever. It's all very good. I almost always get pick up from here and when I walk in the chefs always greet you. This place is also very clean.”
“We love Freesoulcaffe! Locates in the heart of old town Tustin, we love this restaurant! The vibe is chill and calm, no loud music playing, indoor and outdoor seating. I personally love their Leek pizza, but you can’t go wrong with so many options. The ramen is super flavorful, the pasta is delicious, and their desserts are top tier.”
“Best garlic shrimp. �� I'd like to say other things on the menu are great too, but this garlic shrimp is too amazing that I've never ordered anything else. So far I've ordered it 3 times in the past month. AND La Michoacana is right next door. It doesn't get any better then that!”
“Eat Fantastic is a local place I found years too late! Their burgers are SUPER delicious and their fries as well! I always order through the drive through and not a single AI bot is to be heard! Just pleasant voices through REALLY nice speakers (no crackling! A miracle I tell you!).
I tried both their original and spicey chicken tenders and liked the original a bit more. I also like their shakes, although my mom wishes they were a bit thicker (personally I think they're fine!).
For the good quality of their burger they've kept their prices low despite inflation and I promise--after trying most of their burgers--they make the burgers REALLY well, everytime. I've yet to have a subpar burger there. Their fries are fine, but not my favorite (i like salty thin in-n-out fries, so it's not their fault).
Apparently people complain that they're charged for dips. Why? I dunno. A lot of them are specialty ones and they give you free ketchup.
Definitely give this place a try if you haven't! It's a great alternative with higher quality take out at prices McDonald's is currently charging you (with subpar fast food). And they have an AWESOME lunch deal!”
“The service is very good and the taste is authentic. It is really not easy to eat charcoal grilled food in Los Angeles! I also packed a portion of crayfish when I left, and it tasted great ?”
“Amazing menu, excellent atmosphere. We truly enjoy meeting here for our lunch gatherings!”
Cheap Eats
“First timer drove all the way from Downey worth the drive. I had the blue cheese bacon burger with garlic fries and of course a Dr. Pepper. Very friendly staff they all help out my daughter had the mushroom burger with onion rings and my son had the bacon cheese burger with tots. A must try the only other thing that caught my eye was the hot wings the table next to us ordered Definitely next time”
“Went on NYE with a large party. Was a very impromptu decision, but called in advance to see what their hours were. They were super happy to have us and had our table ready immediately. Place isn't super big, so just be aware if you plan to come in with an 7 or 10 top. Price was super reasonable.
Kid-friendliness: They were super accommodating with 4 kids in our group, 3 of which were toddlers.”
“Went to the food hall for another restaurant, but it was closed. Staff at Fonda Moderna waved us over and wow am I glad they did. Very friendly and helped us decide what to get. Tacos were amazing. First time I have ever had a lobster taco, fantastic. The Birria was also excellent. Great food and great service, will absolutely go there again.”
“In a little corner of an unassuming strip of restaurants, water retailers, and miscellaneous vendors sits this diamond in the rough.
My carne asada torta ate like a panini with the bread thinned by the toaster, creating a crispy-ish texture wrapped around the savoury center that burst with flavor like fireworks!
The staff is welcoming and courteous. The matron speaks both English and Spanish, in case you fear ordering outside your native tongue.
Highly recommended. Aces all the way”
“Gringo Mexican food. Tasty chips and salsa while you wait for your order. It's decorated in a Coastal Mexican Vibe; family friendly. Back room large enough for groups. They have a cool bar. Years ago they had a DJ and dancing. It would be cool not to blast sports on TVS BUT TO HAVE KARAOKE... Disney is close by
Many talented performers live locally. You could drive this experience with a myriad of possibilities. The business founders based their model on a family friendly environment.”
“Love Golden Spoon! Best tasting yogurt, hands down! Recommend peanut butter, my fav. Not as many flavors as they used to have, and the peanut butter wasn't working. My gripe is I had the coconut, and it melted before I got it home. Not sure if that's the usual now, I remember the olden days where it would stay frozen.”
“We frequently come here for lunch on weekdays, and the experience never disappoints. The northern Chinese cuisine is truly authentic and packed with flavor. Highly recommend for anyone seeking genuine regional dishes!”
“location: la jolla, I loved that they treated me in an excellent way, especially with my son who has autism, they are inclusive, all the time they were aware of me! the best food! I will surely return to delight my palate!”
“I liked MLBB more than Nice to Meet You in Irvine. The soups are more flavorful and the skewers are much better. Only drawback is that there are less variety in hot pot ingredients, sliced meats, and side dishes (hot/cold). But overall for the promotion price of $20 for lunch, it’s really hard to beat!”
“As far as sushi spots go. This is worth driving to. It has a friendly vibe and is never very busy. They have a great selection of all kinds of sushi. Whether you like cooked, baked, raw, traditional, tempura, whatever. It's all very good. I almost always get pick up from here and when I walk in the chefs always greet you. This place is also very clean.”
“If you're looking for a top-tier all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ experience in Tustin, I Can Korean BBQ is a must-try! From the moment we walked in, the service was attentive and friendly, with the staff making sure our grill was always clean and our meats were cooked to perfection.
The meat quality here is excellent—everything was fresh, well-marinated, and flavorful. The premium cuts like the beef brisket and short rib were melt-in-your-mouth good, while the pork belly had the perfect balance of fat and crispiness when grilled. They also offer a great variety of banchan (side dishes) that complement the meats well, and the kimchi was spot on!
What really stood out was the ambiance—modern, clean, and spacious, making it a great spot for both small gatherings and big groups. The ventilation is solid too, so you don’t leave smelling like smoke.
For the price and quality, this is one of the best KBBQ spots in the area. Whether you're a seasoned KBBQ lover or a first-timer, this place will definitely satisfy your cravings. Highly recommend!”
“Came in here a couple days ago, and it was a great visit! The wagyu selection as well as quality is superb, little more on the pricey side but 100% worth it. The service is top-notch, and the ambience is upscale but still relaxed, perfect for any occasion. The A5 wagyu is hands down the best, and the appetizers are great too. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves good food and great experiences. 10/10 would definitely come back! Highly recommend!”

“The food was delicious 😋 I had the crab cakes potato’s and sliced tomatoes, crab/shrimp cocktail and the clam chowder. The service was great and my server Ms Martha was so kind and always smiling. Thank you Ms Martha for giving me a great dining experience and for your service. I will definitely be back to The Crab Cooker in Tustin. I came over from Antelope Valley😊”
“One of the most sub standard experience! The food had all the same curry base, made from canned ingredients. The staff was unhelpful and did not care at all. The seating is narrow and cheap. The portion size of s horrible. The taste of the food is awe filling because it’s probably microwaved rather than cooked properly. Horrible experience. Stay away! There are better Indian restaurants.”

“Will be coming back soon, one of the best AYCEs I've been to. Generous fish portions and appreciate that the rice to fish ratio was very balanced (other restaurants load up on rice). Had really good quality seafood and enjoyed the appetizers as well. Kim, our server, was very cheerful and welcoming. Overall service was fast and definitely had my fill. All in all would recommend.”
