“Hatch made my entire experience five stars. He was personable, enthusiastic, and brought great energy to the table. His vibe genuinely elevated the meal and made the food taste even better. Outstanding service… exactly what great hospitality should feel like. Love the ambiance here, scaled to look classy but casual. Food selection is always restocked which is a plus. Don’t forget to finish off with their egg custard tart. Trust!”

“The food is amazing here. Always excellent. Always made the same consistent way each time we have been here. The staff is SUPER friendly and they have a beautiful dog-friendly patio. It does get really busy at lunch on Saturdays so be prepared if you come that day. Weekdays tend to be a lot slower. It quickly has become my favorite place to eat and is my go-to place now. The food is just as good delivered as well. Cannot go wrong here. Especially with the Chicken Club. Delicious. Fries are really good too.”

I got the the combo B (half rice and half chow mien with orange chicken and pepper chicken) and it's enough food to last me two meals, and for 11 dollars. Service is great and everything is fresh. Definitely recommend for a quick bite.”

“A staple to my coffee rotation, especially for the seasonal items. Went today and the items for Valentine's Day were available. I got a raspberry mocha, a love on the Weekend, and a cinnamon sugar roll.
The raspberry mocha is my favorite. A strong chocolate taste with bright raspberry notes. A very well balanced mocha if you like a chocolate forward taste. The love on the Weekend was also very good.
Great local spot in Tustin, they do great things in the community and the drinks are great.”

LONG line but went fairly quick. Simple set up inside with little room for sitting. Suggest benches outside.
Tried the Matcha1, the coconut iced blended and the salted saigon; all medium sweet. ALL GOOD!”

I ordered 24 pieces of the legs and thighs.
I wanted to order all legs. But unfortunately not possible.
The chicken tasted really good and crispy.
Though my family prefer the legs more, so ended with lots of thighs leftovers, but all the chicken legs were gone.
I wish they'd allow the option of just chicken legs like Popeyes. I'd come back more if there's that option.”

“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!!”

The food is great, the service, out of this world, and the beer? The beer is perfect. I love, love, love the beer names. I opted, for one of my choices, for the Cream Abdul ja Beer. It may not be on the actual name but it's what I saw and its my story now. 😉
Be sure to stop by and enjoy yourself. 🍺🍺🍺❤️❤🥵🤮...I'm good.”

“Thank you so much to the gentleman who provided me with the most amazing customer service tonight. He brought my food out to the car for me so I didn’t have to take all three of my kids in. He didn’t have to but he was happy to do it. So thank you so much. Also the food is always amazing have been going here for a long time now ✨”
Asian Fusion • $$
“It is a great place that opens till very late. We came at almost midnight and had some cold beer and authentic food. Some of the food is very authentic such as the blood sausage. We tried that and some fried whole chicken, fried tofu, and squid. It was nice you can just ordered thru the pad and they served quick. They gave us some free orange slices too.”

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!”

Thai • $
“Whenever I get a craving for Thai this is my go to spot. The food is authentic delicious and Just plain beautiful. The prices are reasonable the portions are large. The atmosphere can be busy, but comforting and relaxing, like a coffeehouse. The hustle and bustle of people coming in doesn’t distract from the atmosphere. In fact, it adds to it. I have always judged a Thai restaurant by their Tom kha kai. The first time I had it here I knew I was in for some good Thai. I’ve been making Tom kha gai at home for years now I know how it’s done and the subtleties of the ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“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.”
Japanese • $$$$
“I recently dined at this small, intimate Japanese sushi spot and overall had a pleasant experience. The space is simple yet classy, with a clean, understated décor that creates a relaxed atmosphere. Service was attentive and professional throughout the meal.
I understand the chef previously worked at Hamamori, which set certain expectations for me. The food presentation was beautiful — each piece was plated with care and elegance. The omakase was good and thoughtfully prepared, but it didn’t quite leave a lasting impression. The flavors leaned very plain and subtle, and I found myself wishing for a bit more depth, seasoning, or contrast to really elevate each course.
That said, it’s still a solid and enjoyable sushi experience. I’ve been fortunate to travel and try many omakase spots around the world, so my standards may be on the higher side. While this one didn’t “wow” me, it’s good, clean, and simple — and worth checking out if you appreciate a more restrained, minimalist style of sushi”

“I got a pizza, I don't remember the weird name they gave it, but it was basically a Hawaiian pizza with jalapenos. The crust was thin, and soft, clearly made from scratch. I almost downgraded them to 4 star because they're pizzas didn't have cheese and it doesn't say that on their menu. Little disappointing. The effort they put into their ingredients and preparation made up for it though. I'll get something else next time.”

“This is definitely one of our consistent go to spots and honestly I am surprised I am just now writing a review for Sake 2 Me Sushi. We have brought multiple friends here over time and everyone always leaves impressed. The all you can eat pricing is actually really solid especially for the quality of fish you get and you truly get a lot. Orders come out fast too usually within five to ten minutes which is honestly impressive. The fish quality really stands out for an AYCE spot especially the spicy tuna salmon and toro. The no rice rolls are my personal favorite because they are just a straight protein overload crab tuna salmon albacore all packed in heavy and generous. Even the regular rolls have a ton of fish and great flavor especially with the sauces they pair them with which definitely pack a punch. Cant go wrong with the gyoza and the spicy garlic edamame is a must every time. The miso soup is also really good creamy light and balanced not watery not too thick just right. We tried a Hawaiian style roll with a crunchy topping and albacore which was amazing and the roll sizes are huge. My wife got a spicy tuna roll with spicy mayo and a teriyaki glaze and she loved it. And the blue toro was honestly a surprise in the best way possible the sashimi cut was generous and the quality was way better than expected for all you can eat. Overall this place is always a win and easily one of our top all you can eat sushi spots. Highly recommend”

The bacon an friends burrito was fire and so was the sausage biscuit gravy sandwich. I'll be back soon and stoked to see a local business thriving with support from our community. I'm sure they don't need reviews but being a business owner I know how important it is. Just be ready for a small wait but 100% worth it.”

Hamburger • $
“I had the Rammer, which was a lovely merger between a pastrami sandwich & cheeseburger (rammed together)...& boy, was it very yummylicious & absolutely Peter-rific (Mmm, tender pastrami on top of a juicy beef patty)! This place is not your typical run of the mill burger joint & has a unique variety of selections for everyone's palette. My only slight knock is that for the price of each burger, it should also include a small side of french fries (otherwise I would have given it 5 stars). Definitely worth a try!”
Bakery • $
“Primarily a place to get pastries 🍰 😎 to go, it can get quite busy with the line extending out the front door and onto the sidewalk (be sure to keep the door closed or they will remind you 😀).
Luckily, the line goes right by their selection of freshly baked goods 👌🏻. The strawberry 🍓 cream croissant is a great choice. Be sure to get everything you want before you leave the line as there really isn't much help after your purchase. They are on to the next guest to keep the line moving.
No indoor seating but some metal tables and chairs on their outdoor patio. Your view is of a neighborhood street and El Camino Real.
Pastries were good but highly recommended to get your favorites to go.
Enjoy!”

“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”

Italian • $$
“Amazing menu, excellent atmosphere. We truly enjoy meeting here for our lunch gatherings!”
Indian • $$
“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.”
Bakery • $
“Primarily a place to get pastries 🍰 😎 to go, it can get quite busy with the line extending out the front door and onto the sidewalk (be sure to keep the door closed or they will remind you 😀).
Luckily, the line goes right by their selection of freshly baked goods 👌🏻. The strawberry 🍓 cream croissant is a great choice. Be sure to get everything you want before you leave the line as there really isn't much help after your purchase. They are on to the next guest to keep the line moving.
No indoor seating but some metal tables and chairs on their outdoor patio. Your view is of a neighborhood street and El Camino Real.
Pastries were good but highly recommended to get your favorites to go.
Enjoy!”

“The food is amazing here. Always excellent. Always made the same consistent way each time we have been here. The staff is SUPER friendly and they have a beautiful dog-friendly patio. It does get really busy at lunch on Saturdays so be prepared if you come that day. Weekdays tend to be a lot slower. It quickly has become my favorite place to eat and is my go-to place now. The food is just as good delivered as well. Cannot go wrong here. Especially with the Chicken Club. Delicious. Fries are really good too.”

Asian • $$
“The grill fish is really good. We had the garlic style because we can’t eat spicy! The skin of the fish is crispy and does not have much bone. We also had the SiChuan cold noodle and it’s authentic. The restaurant pretty simple and clean. The server was nice and came by many time.”
Pizza • $
“Alright you got 2 options.
1. You tell everyone about this spot because good pizza is meant to be shared with the world. Best Pizza I’ve had in OC.
2. Don’t tell anyone about this spot because you don’t want them to run out before you get your slice. Keep it a hole in the wall spot.
Little on the pricier side and a Large pizza is going to be a 20 min wait, but well worth it.”
Japanese • $$$$
“I recently dined at this small, intimate Japanese sushi spot and overall had a pleasant experience. The space is simple yet classy, with a clean, understated décor that creates a relaxed atmosphere. Service was attentive and professional throughout the meal.
I understand the chef previously worked at Hamamori, which set certain expectations for me. The food presentation was beautiful — each piece was plated with care and elegance. The omakase was good and thoughtfully prepared, but it didn’t quite leave a lasting impression. The flavors leaned very plain and subtle, and I found myself wishing for a bit more depth, seasoning, or contrast to really elevate each course.
That said, it’s still a solid and enjoyable sushi experience. I’ve been fortunate to travel and try many omakase spots around the world, so my standards may be on the higher side. While this one didn’t “wow” me, it’s good, clean, and simple — and worth checking out if you appreciate a more restrained, minimalist style of sushi”

“Madly in love with your banana matcha. The service at your testing location is always top notch. The people are so nice and friendly and helpful. You did well. With your hiring And recipes”
Japanese • $$$
“A friend if a friend recommended this place so we decided to give it try. We couldn't get through by phone for reservations but were able to get a seat at 11:30 Friday without a problem. We got the $69 sushi set B and all of it was delicious! The fish was soft and fresh and the size was generous. Albacore is not one I usually like but theirs was quite good. The amount of soy sauce was just right too. The staff were all super nice too. I wanted to try the rolls but I was full already. I will definitely be back.”
Mediterranean • $$
“Villy Heaven truly lives up to its name — a little piece of heaven for food lovers! From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff set the tone for a fantastic dining experience.”
Hawaiian • $
“This restaurant is by far the best Hawaiian food I've had in OC. Keahi helped me order for catering and she was extremely patient, kind, and accommodating to my budet. Thank you so much Keahi, our CEO, VP, COO were very impressed with the taste and quality of your food. This is definitely not the last time we will be ordering from Tasty Hawaiian BBQ”
Mexican • $
“Baja Fish Tacos specializes in Mexican and seafood cuisine, particularly fish tacos. They have locations throughout most of Orange County and parts of the Inland Empire. This particular location can be found near the intersection of Jamboree Road and Irvine Blvd.
I always order the Taco & Enchilada Combo when I visit any of their locations - cheese enchilada, all rice and no beans, and a fish taco Ensenada style is where it's at! You can't go wrong with a cheese quesadilla for the kiddos. My daughter and I also tried their cheese nachos, but it was disappointing because all the cheese turned into a solid sticky mass. We washed down our meal with a fountain beverage. I found both the cashier and restaurant staff at this location to be super friendly and helpful. Prices have gone up since my last visit as our meal totaled almost $50 with tax and tip, but at least I ordered enough for us to have leftovers!”
Bakery • $
“Fast service, great team & positive attitudes from cashier & staff, breads are always good, they also have a good variety of cakes on display. Service was also quick. I recently had the strawberry croissant and it was amazing 10/10”
Pizza • $$
“I went with some friends and we didn't get any of the indian style pizzas. We just got a meat lovers pizza and it was really good! Next time I want to come back to try one of the more interesting options.”
