“We had an amazing meal at Belacan Grill - Malaysian Bistro! We tried the Roti Canai (flaky flatbread with curry dip), Nasi Lemak (coconut rice with all the fixings), and Beef Rendang (tender slow-cooked beef in rich sauce). Everything was delicious and full of flavor. The servers were also super nice and made us feel welcome. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!”
“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”
“The food was so great! The waiter was so attentive. We had lots left over. And desert to go.”

“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”

“Absolutely fantastic food! I arrived in the morning for lunch, and everything was made fresh to order. The flavors were delicious, and the quality really stood out. My only suggestion would be to offer slightly larger portions, but other than that, it’s both budget-friendly and worth every penny.
The staff are amazing I witnessed them kindly assisting a senior citizen with his order, which truly made me smile and reminded me that compassion still exists in the world. That alone speaks volumes about the heart of this place.
I definitely recommend this establishment!”
“We had sesame chicken and a bento box with orange chicken, cucumbers, and rice. Myself and our two growing teen boys shared those two dishes and it was plenty of food. Both chicken entrees had good bold flavor, nice quality chicken, and crispy outside. Rice was good flavor and just the right sticky-ness. Cucumbers are sooooo good.”
“Yelp waitlist doesn’t work on the app only in person when you arrive.
The approx wait time was still 30-45min+ depending on the size of your party.
If you’re open to ordering “to-go” would recommend that for sure! Love their product food pictures online to get a better understanding of what you’re going to eat.

“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.”

“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.”
“Super cute store vibe, and they have later hours in case you want a treat after breakfast or lunch. Can try a sample if you aren't sure which flavor base to get, which I appreciated since it was my first time trying some of the flavors. Staff was informative and friendly and most importantly quick with my order!”
“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”
“We stopped by for coffee and pastries a couple of days ago. I had previously picked up some bread on my way over to a breakfast invitation and liked it a lot. This time was no different. The coffee was top notch and pastries were wonderful. More importantly I was very impressed by the two ladies who took care of us. They were kind and very helpful, and when there was a mixup with our order they offered to remedy it very generously and made the whole experience a pleasure. Will definitely go back and recommend to anyone who's looking for great coffee, artisan bread and a wonderful atmosphere to work or hang out at.”
“Ordered this for delivery and it was some of the most delicious cashew chicken I’ve ever had! The only down side is it didn’t let me select fried rice as my side when ordering through Uber Eats.. we tried orange chicken, potstickers etc. all of it was just so perfect. We WILL be coming back again!”
“This place is absolutely amazing! The food is great and there are so many different options to choose from including beef rolls, fish fellet, and so mucu more. The service is also excellent as the waiter comes every few moments to check up on how you are doing. I would definetly recommend.”
“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!!”

“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!”
“Chef Taiki Kuramoto is truly one of a kind! A must try Omakase in Orange County. Chef Taiki is very passionate about his craft and loves showcasing his food with smiles and laughter.”
“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😊”

“The tacos were good, I got the azteca taco that had cecina with the cactus, the asada and cabeza. The cabeza was soft, the asada was ok the cecina was pretty good along with the catcus. The salsas were also decent. It's in a market station so you can grab your own drinks and snacks too.
The staff was nice and helpful with the choices on the menu. The seating is outside with a couple of propped umbrellas which is nice during the hot days. Overall decent place.”
“Whenever I come down to visit OC, I start each day at Hola Adios. Their food and coffee are amazing! This used to be the kombucha place back when I lived in Tustin. Sad to see that place go, but so glad that Hola Adios took over. Their seasonal menu is unique and so far, nothing has disappointed us. Cute backyard seating, as well as indoor seating.”
“The entire staff is so friendly, attentive, and genuinely sweet. I always have a great experience every time. I just wish they stay open little longer on the weekends because I would love to grab some afternoon snacks/meals whenever I pass by on the road.
Outstanding staff!!! Thank you!!”
“I saw a video of this restaurant in youtube and was ready to go there and just after I put this location on map then i got to know it is in USA not in New Zealand 😢”
“Great service, really premium meat, family friendly, we tried Halal lamb and it was vey delicious, tender and perfectly marinated with great spices.
This place is definitely GoTo when you want to Try Korean BBQ style.
Homemade desserts worth the try”

“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.”

“Amazing, super delicious Ramen - reinvented in the U.S. so the soup is totally drinkable. If you've ever eaten Ramen in Japan, you know what I'm talking about. The dining area in-store is modern and clean, but sometimes the long waiting line can be a turn-off, at least to me.”
“Good and service was great, there were plenty of tv’s and I could see every game that was on. Super great place to eat love how nice everyone was here!! Highly recommend coming here and eating whenever there’s sports on or anything!”
“The bartender Jaqueline was phenomenal! Sunday football, the place was packed and she single handedly served the entire place both behind the bar, in the dining room with the best food service and was the quickest most efficient lone server on the planet. She absolutely blew me away!!!! Thank you Jacqueline, we had a blast and great games with plenty of TV screens everywhere too!”

“Golden Spoon was an absolute treat for me and my friend. So many flavors to choose from, and the service was outstanding! Grayson greeted us with a smile and helped us with deciding on what to get. Overall, the experience felt genuine and welcoming. I’ll definitely be going back!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Cream Pan Bakery in Tustin offers an impressive selection of fresh bakery items and light meals. Their menu includes a range of sandwiches such as katsu, along with sushi rolls and other Japanese-inspired dishes. Service is consistently quick, prices are reasonable, and the outdoor patio adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Ample parking makes it convenient, though weekend lines can be quite long — a testament to their popularity.”
“I recently visited Curry Do and tried the Chicken Katsu Curry — it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and everything tasted fresh and full of flavor.
The service was just as impressive. Nori and Vanessa were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It’s always nice when great food is matched by equally great service.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving quality Japanese curry. We drove out from Riverside and will be back, definitely worth the drive!”
“Best Taco Tuesday in Tustin at $1.50-2.00 per taco. 3 tacos are enough for lunch, but I usually order 4. I also add a large cold Horchata (cinnamon rice drink) $2.99 and a side of 3 grilled salted Jalapenos $0.75 (not on the menu). This is the closest Mexican street food without driving to Mexico. Enjoy!”
“Great little place to have a quick drink or spend a Friday or Saturday night. They have multiple TV sets for watching the game,two pool tables and an old school shuffle board .the place is clean and even they bathrooms were kept clean and fresh.The bartender was a beautiful young woman with an affectionate smile and was busy and still made sure to c g neck on her customers and make sure they were good.i would recommend this spot over any other in the Tustin area come down to nite it's always funn”
“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”
“This place is fantastic, great gluten free beers and food .. television and games. A great place to hang out and 100 percent gluten free”

“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.”

“Amazing quality fish with freshness you can taste and feel in every bite. One of the best sushi in Irvine that you can find.
The tuna hand roll was so delicious.
I am a big fan of unagi and the quality is that which you would find in Japan, very tender and delicious.
The atmosphere is very dark modern soothing which feels very classy, absolutely a great date night idea.
Staff were very attentive and service was fast. Highly recommend this restaurant for sushi lovers.
Wasabi is very fresh as well.”
“The Lobby Cafe is such a cool new spot in the Tustin District—small, trendy, and beautifully decorated. My family and I stopped in for brunch and loved everything we tried: the breakfast burrito, eggs benedict, French toast, and wagyu burger, plus a few lattes to share.
Our standouts? Definitely the Ube French Toast, the perfectly cooked Eggs Benedict, the refreshing iced Matcha Latte, and the cozy hot Spanish Latte. Service was fast and friendly, making the whole visit even better. Bianca and her staff are young, energetic and friendly.
We’ll definitely be back whenever we’re in Tustin for a delicious, laid-back brunch!”
“The food was delicious and our server Ashton was incredible. We will be back soon❣️”
