Thank you!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian dips, Feta cheese in filo, Falafel and veggie sides and salads”

“Katelyn was great and helped accommodate all our orders, unlimited bluefin is the best, wish the heater was used outside to help with the wait since it was cold. The wait time for the 2nd and 3rd round was really long, and our order got messed up as well, but glad our server was ready to try and fix ”
“Yummy traditional cuisine. The food is freshly made. I always love to order the borscht, lagman, plov, dumplings (pelmeni). The tea is so good and the desserts. Highly recommended! Thank you for yummy food”
“Went for dinner had good experience but I don’t understand one thing why the lady at the counter saying this to everyone “ thank you visit again “ expect to us . We just had dinner and didn’t behave badly or rudely.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Malubianbian is serving up some flavorful, spicy, and affordable hot pot! You can make your own dipping sauce at their DIY sauce bar for your hotpot, and even snack on a few items they have out like their freshly made shrimp chips and sesame balls! They have a wide range of seafood, veggie, and meat options including their skewers and side dishes. The soup packs so much flavor and I loved their spicy mala broth. My favorite items were their beef, pork ribs, fish balls, and lamb! It's the perfect place to enjoy a hot, savory meal!They have two locations, one in Tustin and one in Rowland Hills. I typically don't drive to these areas but definitely will go for some delicious Asian food! They have all day happy hour on the weekdays with $1 soup bases and $1 beers, and their skewers cost around $3-10 which is such a good deal! It's the perfect place to hang out with your friends and to enjoy hot pot in this cold weather!”
“I've visited Zip Korean bbq several times now, whether with my boyfriend or family, and each visit has been consistently great. Atmosphere is good and the service is excellent. The quality of the meats and food is always delicious. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great ayce spot.”
“Been seeing this all over social media and it's decent! The line was about an hour on a Saturaday at 5:30, so definitely get here as early as possible. I recommend getting onto the Yelp wait list ASAP. The plaza is pretty small with limited parking but it shouldn't be an issue if you're early- the ambiance is super colorful and cute. We tried the Pad Thai and the Green curry. The pad thai wasn't as saucy as we thought it would be and wasn't as flavorful as we would've expected. However, the green curry w/ roti was solid! Definitely flavor packed and the right balance of spice. Not sure if it's possible, but would recommend subbing roti with rice since rice is an extra 4$.”

“Fantastic meal as always!! It was cool and breezy last night but we opted to reserve a table on the patio which is much quieter than inside. The wind screen and heat lamps create a surprisingly cozy and comfortable space. Excellent food & service!!”
“So I've ordered food here a few times, and I appreciate the friendly staff and wel prepared food.I especially appreciate the meticulous attention to the preparation of the salads here. The vegetables so far have been fresh, crisp, and tasty. (I ordered the kale quinoa salad and its cery tasty)My family say the French onion burgers are awesome and the chili fries here are delicious also. This place is also always clean and well staffed whenever I stop by, and online ordering is straight forward.”

“Our first visit was great! The food was soo good, service was quick and the food came out fast and everything we ordered was delicious. Also you can’t beat the prices!”
“Honestly I was skeptical at first glance of the meat lover pizza sitting on display as it didn’t look too appetizing BUT BOY WAS I WRONG ! The pizza ended up being delicious! And we ended up getting a couple slices of spinach and feta cheese as well and that was great too !”
“Yummy traditional cuisine. The food is freshly made. I always love to order the borscht, lagman, plov, dumplings (pelmeni). The tea is so good and the desserts. Highly recommended! Thank you for yummy food”
“Excellent meal and service! Ordered the Parlor salad, Bucatini all Amatriciana, and Guanciale pizza. Salad- great assortment of greens with fresh mozzarella and salami calabrese Bucatini- Pasta was cooked al dente with loads of Guanciale and pomodoro to make the dish extra special Pizza- Love the San Marzano tomatoes and the Fresno Chile/olive combination. Great crust with that char fired crust”
“Went for dinner had good experience but I don’t understand one thing why the lady at the counter saying this to everyone “ thank you visit again “ expect to us . We just had dinner and didn’t behave badly or rudely.”
“I come here often now, and they aren't afraid to make the experience the best. I bought matcha and didn't like the sweetener it was made with. They got me one without the sweetener. 10/10 service. Thank you Rasool.”
“You want to try the best roast chicken...come here, the Super package includes 1 chicken, they give you tortillas, Jamaican water, beans, rice and corn and salsa.Inside, I recommend the cesina taco...very delicious, just one detail, don't let a dark-haired lady serve you, because she has a very ugly character, she doesn't know how to treat people, on the other hand, the girl who charges you for the liquor is Super friendly and always with a smile. I recommend the place on weekends.”
“Amazing scratch made bread. Excited to try more. This place is unique for California, which makes it very special. I look forward to going back time and again to this place.”

“Boy, I love this coffee shop so much! The ambience is giving trendy and giving craft coffee vibe! The drinks were so delicious! It's the perfect spot to pay your overpriced coffee and pay for the nice instagram post! Plus the people work there are nice and down to earth, service is fast! I still think about the hojicha latte I got! And it's so good!”
“The best cafe so far! This place deserves a high rating! Their utopia latte is so yummy and the food is of great quality! Love it and this is my go to place and will recommend this place to anyone!”
“This is a place I frequent. The area is great. Service is always attentive and genuinely friendly. Food is consistently cooked well.Tip: Their burgers aren't dressed. Do request your condiments. Spicy mayo and jalapeno ranch are sure shots!Their fries are ALWAYS crunchy and more on the well done side. Go ahead! Dip them in that jalapeno ranch!Another tip: they no longer give their potato salad automatically. Ask and ye shall receive! (no charge) YOU'RE WELCOME. The potato salad makes me say, "good Lawd"!Kid-friendliness: Yes! They have an excellent kids menu.”
“We had a great time in Kean Coffee.One of the best coffees I have had!I just did not like the surcharges for replacing regular milk with other kinds of milk. Otherwise, they were really good!”
“Found this place while looking for a coffee shop in the area, had great ratings so I decided to give it a try. Really cute atmosphere in the Old Town area of Tustin gives a nice Portland, Oregon feel. Lots of young people and families. Friendly, environment....staff are welcoming and nice. Clean and trendy. Variety to choose from. By far one of the best lattes I've tasted to my surprise. CC's favorite is what I got. Their avacado biscuit sandwich was pretty good and fresh. Cute little neighborhood. Would definitely recommend to anyone.Wheelchair accessibility: Entryway available for handicapped”
“They sell flights of tea or lattes which I was really interested in but there wasn't enough seating to order it. Their were actually several open tables but no chairs. It was kind of loud so she didn't catch everything that I was ordering and I had to place a second order. That said, the staff was really nice and the decor was really cute and most importantly the matcha tea, latte and macarons that I ordered were fantastic. This was the middle of the day on a Saturday so I can totally understand it being this busy and I think I'll try to visit again on a day or time where hopefully it's a little less crowded and I can try those flights.”
“We had a lovely time. It had warm and inviting decor. There were fun choice of merch. Parking was plentiful and convenient. And finally the coffee was excellent.”
“Every efficient use of space for the drive thru line. Other in n outs I've experienced cause traffic into the street which I don't think should be allowed. This location does it right. Also, as always the food always tastes great and consistent.”

“One of the best Japanese bakery in Southern California. It has awesome pastries especially the strawberry croissants. We especially liked the packaged pork katsu sandwiches, onigiri, and CA rolls.”
“Great little cafe tucked into a cute independent book store (so rare nowadays!) Mike the barista is friendly and knowledgeable. Espresso shots are pulled with care and latte drinks are steamed and poured beautifully. Support your local independent businesses!”
“Went to Casa D’Oro during a lunch date with my son and I should say I’m pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the overall experience.Prices are very reasonable and food was amazing.Best part was the Tiramisu cake which is splendid and a must try.”
“For the ones who crave for halal fast food, this is the place. I enjoyed the flavors and Rohan is very respectful and humble person. I am definitely going to visit it again.”

“This is always a great place to eat. The food is delicious and the service is great. Sometimes, there's a wait time, but that's a sign of a good place to eat!”
“The Sunday brunch is a beautiful layout of many different options to suit most appetites. Part of it is served by the staff and part is self serve. It's really lovely and a great place to enjoy just being together. The price has gone up considerably in the last few years but I suppose that's happening everywhere. Would recommend.”
“I have always enjoyed eating at this restaurant. They have good access to free parking being located in a large shopping center. I went recently and had the combination lunch plate with bar-b-que fish, scallops, shrimp and bell peppers and tomato. It comes with a choice of 2 sides. I had garlic cheese mashed and baked potatoes and coleslaw. Everything was cooked properly. My co-worker had the shrimp plate but his shrimp was burned and overcooked. I mentioned it to the waitress and showed it to her and compared my shrimp. She agreed it was overcooked but by now we needed to return to work. I was disappointed with this visit.”

“I wanted to make reservations the night before but didn't due plan changes. My friends and I finally decided to stop by hoping to get a table. The reservation filled up so quick that they told us it would be over an hour. What a bummer I thought . Luckily the host was so nice enough o seat us in within 10 minutes . We were seated in a cave like room . It was such a cool vibe . The drinks and food were really good. Definitely coming back soon.”
“We visited Citrus Cafe for Saturday morning breakfast and were seated immediate. Upon viewing the menu I was pleasantly surprised how many breakfast options were listed. I ordered a breakfast burrito and my friend chicken fried steak. She was happy to see rice was offered as a side. The food was very good and our coffee mugs were refilled several times. Overall the service was very good and the food equally good. The prices might be a tad higher than some breakfast places but were reasonable. I am looking forward to going back and trying a different dish.”
“A very clean restaurant, well lit, and with a beautiful interior. A great wine list, but don't look for beer here. Or non alcoholic beverages.Service was good. Food was delicious, and their chef does an amazing job with planning the menu here. There are modern classics, as well as their take on traditional Italian dishes.The Italian dishes here are not prepared with traditional ingredients - but are delicious nonetheless.”
“A coworker and I stopped in for lunch on a Friday. We were promptly seated at a cute table by the window so it was nice people watch. We both ordered the lunch special which was half a pizza and salad for the great price of $12. Everything tasted amazing and we also shared a bottle of your French Rose. From beginning to end this has by far a very nice lunch with great ambiance and great service. We will definitely be back soon.”
“Everything about this place was great! I really loved how they had a lot of options for noodles and food there. I went here with my friends and it was so much fun!”
“This place is hands down AWESOME!The sushi is so delicious, we had the Bangkok, Salmon Lemon, Dragon, Kitajima, Philladelfia and the Alaska roll, all ingredients tasted so fresh. My hubby I are oversized and was very surprised that their sitting was very accommodating for peeps our size and very comfortable. The atmosphere is very chill with dim lighting and quite and the staff are very polite and attentive. We will definitely be coming back to this awesome place.”
“This past weekend, my brother invited my mom and I to eat at India Gate. It was my first time going, and I'm so glad I tagged along! The food was delicious, and I loved that they had so many options for those who are vegetarian. I'm personally not vegetarian, but my mom is so to see they had so many options for her was really nice. Not many restaurants cater to those who are vegetarian, but India Gate definitely does.I personally ended up eating more of the vegetarian options than the meat options and did not miss the meat one bit. The vegetarian options were just as satisfying, if not more satisfying than their meat filled counterparts.The fresh Naan was also SO delicious! It was fresh and so soft. It paired perfectly with all the food they had to offer. The best part is it's unlimited so you can have all the Naan your heart desires. I personally had a good couple of pieces and do not regret it one bit.To top off the delicious food, I had some of their mango pudding, which had mixed fruit in it. It was the perfect way to wrap up an already delicious meal. I have to admit, it was so good I had two servings of it. Sorry, not sorry. Once you taste it, you'll understand why I loved it so much. With that said, if you love Indian Food and are on the fence about trying India Gate, don't be. I say try it at least once. I'm sure you won't be disappointed by the food or service.The establishment itself isn't anything fancy, but the food is SO good, I could care less. The restaurant may not be Instagram worthy, but the food sure is. There was not one thing I tried that I didn't like. Every single thing was delicious. I highly recommend it.And for $15.99 per person for all you can eat, you cannot complain! Their price is an amazing price for an all you can eat establishment. I definitely recommend checking it out at least once, and yes, I know I'm repeating myself at this point, but it's SO good, I must insist everyone try it at least once. Just once. You won't regret it. Try it and you can thank me later. ;)P.S. I have no pics because the food was SO good, I forgot to take pics. Next time, I'll definitely make an effort to take pics, because there will for sure be a next time and I cannot wait for it!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and all are delicious!!”
“Marriage of Flavors! Hands down, the best Szechuan food I've had. Service was prompt and waited 10 minutes at their peak dinner service. The ambiance was bustling, tables were full and the aromas were amazing. Highly recommended!”
“I’m so happy discovering this super yummy Thai restaurant. They decorate the dishes so beautifully with fresh flowers. They also make their food fresh with no MSG.Highlights of the menu:1. Thai tea sunset2. Chaiyo chicken - specialty dish3. Thai fish cake4. Coconut shrimp5. Grilled shrimp salad6. Tom yum - lemongrass and lime broth7. Pad see ew - sweet black bean and large rice noodles8. Roasted duck in red curryAmazing service, super quick and friendly.”
“Great dinner! The menu has quite a few options and the great appetizers. We had a gift card so we tried the pork belly appetizers with white beans. The carmelization was perfect and the flavor was great. I had the mahi-mahi and it was cooked perfectly and had a nice crust with tender flaking inside. It looked like a small dish but it was rich with flavor and filling. My husband had the short rib which didn't even need a knife. It was so tender and also rich with flavor. I had their version of an old-fashioned and it had a nice sweet vanilla flavoring. It might be too sweet for some but I only had one drink. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse which was light and had a very mild flavor not overbearing sweetness. My husband tried the creme brulee and it was actually sweeter than the chocolate mousse. The sugar crystalization had a perfect char. We loved our meal and will head back again for their happy hour.”
“I enjoyed a late lunch here. California roll with real crab and calamari. Both were excellent. The calamari had lemons and other things fried in with the calamari with a light batter. Best I have had in a long time. The California roll had real crab and was very good. Nice light lunch. Great atmosphere. I sat at the bar which was sort of outside and inside.Parking: Plenty of parking”
“This restaurant has great pizza! the service is good and the pizza is ready quick and when they say it will be ready. Have been here many times and have enjoyed the pizza every time!”
“The 5 stars was for Donny the store manager, who was extremely patient and helpful when something went wrong with our order. Excellent customer service, couldn't ask for more, he made our day.”

“Small restaurant with a lot of character and lots of small plate options to share! recommend making a reservation if going for a popular dinner time, Loved the hamachi carpaccio. Definitely coming here again!”
“A smallish space, it's not what you when you think OC breweries with their big outdoor spaces. However, within the intimacy of the brewery there's some great brews! They work with other breweries and also have their own creations brewed offsite. It's a very chill place to relax with a beer, some games, and something exciting in their tv”
“Love the food here! Their hatch burger was really good especially the burger buns are amazing!I understand they don’t customize per your request as mentioned on their menu but we asked for ketchup they didn’t have. We asked for extra hot sauce they gave us a few drops of it in the little sauce cup (came across as rude). We requested for extra kimchi in their kimchi ramen they couldn’t fulfill that request as well.I may go again for its food but I’d hope for more hospitable behavior next time.Vegetarian options: It’s all vegan”

“I got a Groupon for a nice deal on Costco membership. I was instructed to go to the membership counter and finish signing up. I was set up by one of the staff who took my confirmation paper and picture! It was very easy to finish enrolling. As soon as I finished up there, I was on my way to start shopping. There were plenty of customers but also lots of workers. I was in and out in about 45 mins or so. I will be back to this location!!”
“Awesome crispy tacos. Ready in less than a minute. Ordered 2 to go. Tacos were filled full of meat, cheese and lettuce. Excellant!!Hit the spot.The associate offered me a coupon;BOGO. Yeah!”
“The girl behind the counter was not very excited to wait on anybody not too bright charred double-charged me but she was okay and it's in a gas station so I guess it can't be that bad I can't complain but food was kind of mediocre”
“they don't have veggie patty on the menu but when we asked to substitute hash brown instead of chicken patty they did it and it was so good. I hope they can include this on the menu ?”
“So excited they are close to my mom's house. We used to make the drive to Irvine but now we do not need to get on a freeway. Same everything. Easier to get in. So happy!”
“A very clean restaurant, well lit, and with a beautiful interior. A great wine list, but don't look for beer here. Or non alcoholic beverages.Service was good.

“The sushi chef was welcoming and friendly despite my little knowledge about sushi. All I tend to order is salmon sushi, spicy tuna hand roll, spicy tuna roll and some other rolls here and there. However, seeing him prepare sushi for the couple nearby made me want to try different kinds of sushi. I am looking forward to trying different fish from the sushi chef’s recommendation. Stay tuned!Their beef soup was good, just a tad pricy for what it was. I’ll stick to Shabu if I want soup. Their sushi was very good and I liked that the chef made the salmon sushi with lemon and did not need soy sauce. My sodium intake thanks you!”

“Delicious!!!! Fresh beautiful flavors, unique, authentic, and modern. I went searching for Chamango and found this location. I'll definitely be back to try some of their housemade ice cream bars and other desserts!”

“The food is good there and tastes very fresh and I've been there twice and the employees are always nice and have a good attitude.Vegetarian options: They have a large selection of food that's vegetarian.”
“Just picked up food at this restaurant. First time eating here. All I can say is WOW! Just WOW!!! Food is Amazing!! I had the mushroom Swiss bacon burger combo and it was phenomenal. Fresh EVERYTHING!!! I've lived a block away from this place for 4 years and I'm so happy we gave it a try. My only regret is that we didn't come here sooner. I will recommend this place to EVERYONE!! We'll definitely be back. Awesome job Peter's Gourmade!!”
“My spouse exposed me to this amazing place a few years ago. The empanadas are the best I’ve ever had in OC. Luckily I work right next to them now so every so often I like to get some norteña empanadas or their ham & cheese sandwiches from the fridge. Every meal I’ve had from here has always been a hit & the workers are very nice as well.”
“Tacos Mesita is one of our favorite places to grab a quick and high quality meal. We frequently get the bean & cheese burrito and steak tacos, but tonight we tried the rice & beans and the rice motivated me to write this review; it's SO GOOD! We also tried the churros which were pillow soft and delicious. You can't beat the $2 margaritas on their late night menu either. Not pictured: their horchata. I snapped the cinnamon instead to impart how homemade it tastes. It's made with tiger nuts that make it unique and probably the best horchata I've ever had. Kudos to them for creating a cute outdoor space (with blankets).”
“This is always a great place to eat. The food is delicious and the service is great. Sometimes, there's a wait time, but that's a sign of a good place to eat!”
“Upbeat and loud, Snooze, A.M. Eatery is the perfect place to refuel to face a new day. It’s also a great place to catch up with family and friends, get to know strangers while seated at the counter, and enjoy some really good food and drink!The staff are friendly and efficient and are ready with an answer to any of your questions about the menu.The menu is just right, with classic breakfast fare as well as clever twists on familiar items you just have to try!”
“Hands down my favorite Mexican food place in the area. This place is OUTSTANDING!!! If you're reading this, get the asada friesBeware the hot sauce though, there's no need for it to be that hot ???. A drop of it is good”
“Order is easy and quick ! Meat is tender and flavorful! Plus they help support local sport teams ! Thank you ! We will continue to come get some delicious ? and healthy eats !!!”

“Sandwich place, fresh and tasty sandwiches made with French baguettesIt was a good experience, ordered roast beef spicy sandwich that comes with a side of jus and the Tom’s Choice sandwichPreorder, have a seat and wait for the pager when it’s doneFriendly staff”
“TDLR: A cheap eats snack shack that's worth a try. Be careful about getting too much, since the price adds up quickly. Spinach Kolache: A budget steakhouse cream spinach that is served on a flat bread. The cream (or cheese) overpowers the spinach taste but it's still good. Bbq brisket Kolache: It tastes like generic bbq. What do you expect from $3? The brisket was a bit difficult to identify given that bbq sauce reigned supreme in the interior. Plus points for not skimping out on the filling. Service: Nothing to speak of. Staff rang me up, microwaved my Kolache, and I went on my way. Ambiance: The store setup would be concerning if there were a lot of flies due to to open and exposed nature of their products. Given that there were none, all is good. Kitchen/bakery looked nice though.”
“It's the typical In-N-Out experience. The food is what you expect -- a tasty burger, fries, and a shake. We had to wait a long time in the drive thru line, about 20 minutes. But that seems to be the norm. It would be nice if they had two lanes like some of their locations, but they are space constrained. But the food is worth the wait.”
“Demtri and Nathalia were so kind to help me use a discount and offer me amazing service with such a wonderful joy and smile they gave ?They went above and beyond on customer service!!!!!Parking: Good!”

“My first time visiting off the boat, fish and grill and I was not disappointed! It is my new favorite place. I will definitely be returning frequently. The food is absolutely amazing. Fix to perfection. Amazing friendly service and we felt very attended to… A 10 out of 10 for me.”

“Yes, five-stars for this Weinerschnitzel location! Clean & well-kept, open, well lit and comfortable. The staff was lovely and I was served right away. And of course, the corn dogs are THE BEST! I cannot make them at home like they do! Definitely this location will be my go-to Weinerschnitzel (geez that's a long word! Lol!) from now on! ☆☆☆☆☆Parking: Easily accessible with plenty of parking!”
“Not open for dine in. That's fine. Burger wasn't too bad, but nothing special. Unfortunately when you ask for no tomatoes they still give it to you anyway.”
“Ahhhh they taste good. No long line. In and out. Wish I could eat a bigger meal but I'm kinda dieting. I miss Taco Bell. I used to eat their crunch wrap years ago. I would come here tho out of all fast food this place is up scale.”
“Average - ***The beef gyro sandwich was an average one. Liked the soft pita bread along with the fillings(lettuce, tomato, gyro meat). But nothing to make it as expensive as it is. Costs $11.49.”
“Tacos were pretty good, and meat was super tender and soft, with fresh pico. They taste different than other street tacos but really tasty$13 for 3 tacos and rice! You can get beans but i just got double rice. Pretty good deal”
“My coworkers and I went to this restaurant for lunch today and we had a chance to meet Facundo Lopez, Service Expert extraordinaire. ❤️He is a very sweet man who made sure we were comfortable during our meal. He checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed.He kept himself busy sweeping and straightening the restaurant and seemed to take great pride in his work.We had a lovely time, thanks to Facundo. He is an asset to your restaurant.”
“I like this location. HOWEVER, today I was greeted at the drive thru by an automated voice. NO!!!I'm sick of all the automated voices, and will not support a business who forces me to be subjected to them. Very disrespectful and inhumane.As long as they use an automatic voice, I'll be going somewhere else.”
“I found a new hamburger joint. I came in expecting the worse from a Dave’s single and I was totally surprised. It looked like a real hamburger, lettuce, onion, pickles, unbelievable. I’m in disbelief because the golden arches has nothing on this. In n Out first, then Wendy’s.”
“Great customer service and the food is consistent. It's a fairly small building so not a lot of room to wait in line, but the cashiers do a good job getting through everyone.”
“My first visit to Miguel's Jr. did not disappoint! Delicious food and service! This lovely young lady BELLA assisted me and recommended the garbage burrito for my picky taste buds! Never before have I had a burrito with such explosive flavors! WOW! I was recommended a Mexican classic.... HORCHATA! WOW! Lemme tell you.... IT'S AMAZING! I was also told that you could add coffee to the drink....definitely gonna try for next time! #don'ttalktomewithoutmycofee #notamorningperson #Iamamiguel'sperson DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!!”
“It's one of the best Taco Bells around for taste. I remember they used to make food look like the picture. The dining area was clean and wiped. The restroom was clean as well.”
“These places are super clean. Nested in the south tustin area, near the train station ?, this area is clean, organized, and open early in the morning, inviting and visited by friendly people. Inside, super clean, somewhat busy, lots of sitting areas, and available wifi. Drinks and donuts ? were superb!”
“The best experience, they played good music and the food is just great, My favorite Item was the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and the fancy soda machine with more then 200 hundred flavors is the Best. I will definitely keep coming back.”
“Keep that cashier, don't know if he's manager already. Great Service, Respectful and very patient. La comida de gran Sabor. Volveremos! Buen Trabajo.Parking: Drive Thru line separated from main entrance. Very convenient.”
“This place has some of the friendlies cashier's in the fast food industry. Everytime they greet me with a "hello friend" the food is consistently good. They also have a variety of sipping sauces and drinks.”

Sushi Bear
“We have been coming to sushi bear since it opened for years now and not sure if there's been a change in ownership last few years but quality continually slides down with the taste and menu options have shifted from unique to basic. Kind of disappointed with our last visit, but the staff was nice. If you're a basic rolls kind of customer then this is the place.”
“The STAFF are friendly, productive, helpful and attentive. The decor and vibe inside is cool. The wife got UBE BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST. She destroyed her plate and loved it. I got a minute taste and I can see why. I opted for the ORANGE CHICKEN AND WAFFLE w/vanilla butter (specks of vanilla bean in it) and maple syrup. The chicken was nicely cooked and it had a thicker darker tasty breaded crust on it. The butter is not sweet or overly bold with vanilla but vanilla is a softer scent and flavor oftentimes. It adds a very nice touch to this combo of sniffs and tastes. A great rendition of this brunch classic. RATING = A VANILLA LATTE (HOT): -- good vanilla sniff and taste -- quality coffee -- I have never heard of Jone's Coffee Roasters but I saw the bag on their shelving so I will look into it online. They have other tasty beverages they offer including alcoholic creations. The lines are not short, especially on a Saturday, so plan accordingly. Thankfully they under promised and over delivered on the wait time so we ate sooner than anticipated.”
“Great dinner! The menu has quite a few options and the great appetizers. We had a gift card so we tried the pork belly appetizers with white beans. The carmelization was perfect and the flavor was great. I had the mahi-mahi and it was cooked perfectly and had a nice crust with tender flaking inside. It looked like a small dish but it was rich with flavor and filling. My husband had the short rib which didn't even need a knife. It was so tender and also rich with flavor. I had their version of an old-fashioned and it had a nice sweet vanilla flavoring. It might be too sweet for some but I only had one drink. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse which was light and had a very mild flavor not overbearing sweetness. My husband tried the creme brulee and it was actually sweeter than the chocolate mousse. The sugar crystalization had a perfect char. We loved our meal and will head back again for their happy hour.”

“The tacos I ordered were absolutely delicious! Marie was extremely kind and took the best care of me. I’m very thankful to have dined in here! Highly recommend this ”
“Came here with my friends because we were craving japanese curry. We got seated right away when we arrived. The menu is simple, you have an option to pick a base which was rice or udon and a protein. We all decided to get the katsu chicken with curry. 3.5/5 Chicken Katsu Curry. The curry was great and not too thick, not too runny. It was very flavorful and paired well with the radish. The chicken was very crispy, however it was very thin. There was a good amount of breading on the outside. Each dish came with 3 pieces of chicken. There was plenty for another meal. Overall the staff was friendly and attentive. The price was affordable for the amount of food you get! Would definitely come back if you're craving Japanese style curry.”
“Everything about this restaurant is amazing . Food , ambience , customer service ! I come here at least twice a week ! Good is amazing and definitely recommend this place. .”
“This restaurant is set inside Mess Hall. A communal modern food court. The ribeye tacos were excellent but a little rich for my taste (ribeye is my fav cut of meat). I loved their taquitos and salad ? as well. Great options. We will def go ”
“Very boujie hamburger place. 1st they don't take cash, so make sure u have a card on u. U order at a counter and they send u to a numbered table. Very different then any other restaurant I been to.Food comes quick. Ahi hamburger was delish. Not cheap bur ehhh I guess worth it. Parmasan fries were good.Nice location.”
“I love this place been coming here for many years now. Some of the best BBQ pork around love it all. The $9.95 lunch special is awesome 1 item combo plus egg roll and a drink damn good deal.”
“I adore the friendly environment at The Coffee Grinder. The owner, Tereza welcomes people like no other has seen. I feel just at home at this place. It takes me to the old days that people were super friendly with each other. I would never want to take anything just for to go at this cozy place but instead I would love to spent time inside and have my coffee in peace, not to mention their coffee that is the best I ever had in my life. It’s the real taste of coffee. I am obsessed with their Halapeno’s bagel toasted with cream cheese, I can never get enough of that and I think everyone should try it or they are missing out. Imagine your coffee with this Halopino bagel, aah.Their service is amazing and they have a touch of beautiful colours in their serving cups. The size is generous and they use such beautiful and colourful cups, maybe this is one of the other reasons that I would like to sit and take my time here instead of paper cups to go. Overall it gives me such a positive vibe to be in Coffee Grinder and if I could give 10 stars, I would as this place deserves it. If you haven’t gone yet, you’re losing out on an amazing place.Thank you coffee grinder and special thanks to Tereza who gives everyone a heart warming welcome and make us feel like home.”
“I’ve been eating here since the 80’s all around great food.Parking: There’s only a couple parking spots in front the rest you have to find in the shopping complex parking next to the restaurant”
“I came here not because of the reviews. I just swung by and decided to give it a try. I ordered strawberry banana, even though I wanted boba (there wasn’t any when I came) I opted for strawberry jelly. I was pretty much satisfied. Maybe next time I’ll come and try the boba. The place is small but really cute! There’s seating inside and outside.”
“Love, love, love this place! I enjoy all three establishments, but frequent the Fullerton and Tustin locations.Stopped in today for a quick bite and had their fabulous monthly dip which was a dill dip accompanied by carrot sticks and a bowl of their chicken and vegetable soup. In addition, I had a chai latte.It was all delicious!The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The menu has so many wonderful options that is it hard to choose. :)”
“I'm not a coffee person but I needed some energy and decided to try out Lost Bean. First of all, the cafe is so warm and homey! And service was great and didn't take long. Second, their monkey mocha was actually really good (it's a mocha with dark chocolate and banana); I finished the whole thing and am actually interested in returning to try their zebra mocha next. I appreciated that it was not overpriced. Same for the avocado toast, the portions were huge and the food was simply delicious. I noticed that they have a couple of Gluten free baked goods as well! Highly recommend and would return.”
“Tried Rodrigo's for the first time tonight. Margaritas were delicious, great chips and salsa. All the waiter recommendations were excellent. The service was outstanding. Definitely coming back.”
“I have been ordering on DoorDash for months now from this really delicious little café. The prices are unbelievably Low compared to every restaurant in the area. The food portions are so large that I can cut them in half and save till the.next day. I love the biscuit, egg and gravy dish and the croissant Breakfast sandwiches. Everyone is so nice at the restaurant I eat there and I eat at home through DoorDash and it’s the only place I order breakfast from on DoorDash anymore. Love this place”
“China Palace 的服務很好. 雖然這家的環境很響, 不過他們的服務員的人很好,上菜也特別快. 我覺得這家餐館的蜂蜜核桃蝦, 甜甜的,鹹鹹的,好吃極了. 我還建議這家的綠色花椰菜牛肉很脆. 我覺得他們的糖醋肉太酸了.”
“Best customer service and experience. My order came out under 7 MINUTES! I came in 40 minutes before closing and still received the best service. Will definitely be coming back for the hot box sliders! I was recommended many options by Kane and Brittney! I would recommend the Not Ckn Number 4.”
“My favorite sushi place in the area! Very reasonably priced and a great deal. There are multiple sushi chefs so food comes out quickly. Staff is super nice. Great for pick-up orders as well! Highly recommended!!!Update: there have been some changes I have noticed here recently. They changed their menu and there are some things missing that I liked. Also, there seems to be a lack of waiters/staffing issue. The last 2 times I have come here, I received the worst service… or rather lack there of.”
“I enjoyed a late lunch here. California roll with real crab and calamari. Both were excellent. The calamari had lemons and other things fried in with the calamari with a light batter. Best I have had in a long time. The California roll had real crab and was very good. Nice light lunch. Great atmosphere. I sat at the bar which was sort of outside and inside.Parking: Plenty of parking”
“Food was hit and miss depending on what you get. Food overall is good. Friendly and great service. Lots of pick up orders. The dining room is pleasant. They serve some sodas in a can and give a glass with ice. Has a decent Seafood Menu. No drive thru. Parking can be a little tight. Good desert options and stores in this small out door shopping center.”
Latest Reviews
“I have always enjoyed eating at this restaurant. They have good access to free parking being located in a large shopping center. I went recently and had the combination lunch plate with bar-b-que fish, scallops, shrimp and bell peppers and tomato. It comes with a choice of 2 sides. I had garlic cheese mashed and baked potatoes and coleslaw. Everything was cooked properly. My co-worker had the shrimp plate but his shrimp was burned and overcooked. I mentioned it to the waitress and showed it to her and compared my shrimp. She agreed it was overcooked but by now we needed to return to work. I was disappointed with this visit.”
“had no time so i had to takeout my order, but the atmosphere of the cafe was so warm and cute!! got my chicken pesto panini today, and it is one of the best paninis i have ever had in my life ♥️ also i think the pricing is very fair especially considering the consumer price right now, and their customer service is also 10/10. definitely visiting them again soon.”

“I come here often now, and they aren't afraid to make the experience the best. I bought matcha and didn't like the sweetener it was made with. They got me one without the sweetener. 10/10 service. Thank you Rasool.”
“So I've ordered food here a few times, and I appreciate the friendly staff and wel prepared food.I especially appreciate the meticulous attention to the preparation of the salads here. The vegetables so far have been fresh, crisp, and tasty. (I ordered the kale quinoa salad and its cery tasty)My family say the French onion burgers are awesome and the chili fries here are delicious also. This place is also always clean and well staffed whenever I stop by, and online ordering is straight forward.”
“They sell flights of tea or lattes which I was really interested in but there wasn't enough seating to order it. Their were actually several open tables but no chairs. It was kind of loud so she didn't catch everything that I was ordering and I had to place a second order. That said, the staff was really nice and the decor was really cute and most importantly the matcha tea, latte and macarons that I ordered were fantastic. This was the middle of the day on a Saturday so I can totally understand it being this busy and I think I'll try to visit again on a day or time where hopefully it's a little less crowded and I can try those flights.”
“Amazing scratch made bread. Excited to try more. This place is unique for California, which makes it very special. I look forward to going back time and again to this place.”
“Went beyond my expectations! First time here and it was delightful. The price for eat all you can kbbq is super worth it. Went for dinner here and the staff were nice and attentive. You have sides to choose from, and some meat selections in the counter. The pricey meat selections like wagyu and stuff are ordered through the waiter. Organized and clean. I'm impressed. The sides of fish cakes and japchae are so tasty!!! The cuts of beef is also very nice and fresh. I had an amazing time here, and will definitely come back! The moneys worth it for the price of eat all you can KBBQ!!”
“The Sunday brunch is a beautiful layout of many different options to suit most appetites. Part of it is served by the staff and part is self serve. It's really lovely and a great place to enjoy just being together. The price has gone up considerably in the last few years but I suppose that's happening everywhere. Would recommend.”
“Amazing service, very welcoming. First time here, the menu is abundant. Great selections, have tried other all you can eat sushi restaurants and this is a must try. Thank you to our server Kim she was by far the sweetest person, she made us feel very welcomed and taken care of. Had a wonderful dinning experience and will be returning.”
“Good food, great place for a ladies breakfast. They were out of spice muffins which was a bummer! The restaurant could use some updating, looked a little worn. Very slow, possibly due to the rain.”

“Foods always amazing and good. The customer service was on point service, asking if I was good, anything I want to order, topped off my water. Very nice and cleaned bar service and booths. The server, Elias R., was very nice. Highly recommend this location, nice people.”
“What a great time we had! Lucille's took wonderful care of our very large family party of 24. The food was fantastic and abundant. And we had plenty of time to eat and enjoy ours.”
“This place is cute and perfectly located in old town Tustin! Their decor is so cozy and makes you feel like you're eating at an Abuelita's house. It really adds to the experience! The service is great, the workers are all so helpful if you have any questions. The food is fantastic and tastes authentic! The only reason why it's missing one star is because I think it's too pricey for the amount of food you get in comparison to other places. However, if I could give a 4.5 rating I would because it's definitely nearly a 5 star experience. Would come here again.”
“Every efficient use of space for the drive thru line. Other in n outs I've experienced cause traffic into the street which I don't think should be allowed. This location does it right. Also, as always the food always tastes great and consistent.”
“Fantastic meal as always!! It was cool and breezy last night but we opted to reserve a table on the patio which is much quieter than inside. The wind screen and heat lamps create a surprisingly cozy and comfortable space. Excellent food & service!!”
