“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”
“Zov’s is a very nice place, with a friendly atmosphere and staff, and great food!!”
“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.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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.”
“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“this pizza took me back to when i was like, 7 and hanging out with my uncle or dad and little sister, ordering a pizza after going to block buster and picking out a movie to watch together in like 2006. bro. it's so good. I got the veggie but subbed green onion for pineapple and a side of pizza sauce. u open the box and it's fragrant as heck and is the perfect cheesiness and fluffy/crispy mix. in a world or flat, greasy, or pretentious pizza, it was refreshing to finally have something that tasted as good as it looked and smelled. I don't even eat pizza often cause I usually find it boring and pointless almost? but this place is so fire that i had to write this review. I don't want fancy Italian pizza, I don't want flat, skinny, soggy pizza, I don't want pizza chain crap, I had a specific craving in my mind for what I was looking for and this was it which NEVERR happens to me. also staff was really nice and I actually really appreciate the retro vibe and claw machines. it's cute and made me feel recentered in these chaotic times. anyway if you're like me, you're gonna love this place too :3”
“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.”
“First time here, used the drive thru. The guys working where very friendly. Asked if this was the first time there and explained portions.(if you're hungry a butrito is probably not enough, you might want a taco with it, and tacos are 5 inches) They have a sign that they cook with beef tallow but vegetarian is an option . Got an order ot hand made tortillas 10/10, and a cheese ans bean burrito. The green salsa was not my favorite, but the tomatillo was bomb.”
“We only get take out from here and it's always good. The main shortcomings are that the nigiri sushi is always the same stuff and there have never been, in our experience, special items offered.”
“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!”

“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“I gave the atmosphere a 5 even though there are always kids running around. I can't knock them on that, they cater to everyone and the sports vibe is cool. The pizza and wings are some of my favorites! I love this place and will keep coming back. Even the bleu cheese and ranch dressing are great here. I really can't say anything bad about it here! A+”
“We needed to spend the day in the Irvine area, and I happened to spot Freesoulcaffe on Happy Cow. It was a sunny, warm afternoon, and with two dogs in tow, we headed over around noon and snagged an outdoor table. Not only was the service outstanding, our server, unasked, brought a small bowl of water for our dogs. That's never happened before, and I was touched by the thoughtfulness. I ordered the FSC salad, which had a lot of my favorite veggies, and my husband got one of their burgers. One of the best fake meat burgers I've ever tasted -- apparently made with a mushroom base and nut-free for people with allergies. I'm glad he gave me a taste because that burger disappeared in about a minute. The outdoor patio is tranquil, and in a different life, I would have been tempted to stay there the whole afternoon. Thanks, Happy Cow, for helping me make a great choice!”
“This is, without a doubt, the best BBQ spot in Tustin. The incredibly friendly staff is a bonus, but let’s be honest—people come here for the food, and the food is AMAZING. I had the brisket and Tri-tip sandwich, and it was fantastic. You won’t be disappointed if you eat here!”
“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 ?”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.

“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!”

“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.”

“Delicious and affordable AYCE KBBQ with quality meats. You can order select meats from the server and they also have a self serve meat bar with lots of options. Few of my favorites from the premium menu were: the wagyu beef belly, prime marinated short rib, and prime marinated boneless short rib cut.
They offer 3 menu options~ weekday lunch ($21.99), signature ($29.99) and premium ($38.99), which all include the meat station.
Great service and they came by often to change the grill.”
“The food was delicious and our server Ashton was incredible. We will be back soon❣️”
