OMELI Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (916) • $$

"I came to Omeli Kitchen on Valentine's Day around 7 PM and was seated right away, even without a reservation. The restaurant was full, yet the three women running the show handled everything seamlessly. The space is a bit snug, but they make great use of it and keep it spotless.Service was great and attentive. The food was next level. Every dish had so much flavor, and the portions were generous--you'll leave feeling well-fed and already planning your next visit."

The Soup and Noodle

★★★★☆ 4.2 (981) • $$

"I called ahead to put in my order. I did cover in on New Year's Day. They were open thankfully. I was greeted by the kind woman whom I had spoken with over the phone who had taken my order. It's very clean and spacious inside. Only two customers at two different booths.I had ordered the calamari, and it tasted delicious. It came with a side of sweet and sour sauce. I also ordered the house garlic noodles with grilled chicken. It came with this cilantro garlicky sauce. It was topped with parm chives and fresh garlic. It was absolutely delicious!"

Roll & Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (806) • $

"Seems like this place is only for take-out. There are plenty of parkings around the area. There are bunch of chairs to sit and wait. The place is loud, the lady misheard the order number and didn't get the correct orders, but the food here is not bad."

The Burnt Truck

★★★★☆ 4.4 (804) • $

"Food is alway on point and today's work lunch was just another home run for fine folks at Burnt! Sliders were the OG size, which i love ... cuz i don't feel as guilty eating 5 of them!The tater tots were super crips and fresh ... could eat a mound of them ... seriously don't know why they don't try of make a nacho plate using tater tots and crumbled angus! Service is always amazing! Super chill and friendly service!PBJ was a wow for me ... first time, but now not the last. Will add to my rotation of sliders from them! Love ya food!!!"

"Great decent dim sum! Would come again! Walkable distance from the packing district! We were a group of 6 and tried siu mai, soup the garlic string beans were so decadent with lots of garlic. The garlic fragrance literally cleared my sinus. The soup dumplings were flavorful and full of delicious broth. We had a person with dietary preferences, and they were very accommodating, putting sauce on the side."

SoCal Wings

★★★★☆ 4.2 (840) • $$

"Delicious and lots of great flavors! Sides are a good variety that not a lot of wing places have. Lots of variations of Buffalo sauce and good deal on Wednesdays. Tasty and decent parking"

KooKoo Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (697) • $

"Small hole in the wall place with lots of flavor. We were at the ice rink down the street and walked over here for lunch. It is a small location on the edge of a strip mall. They have a few tables inside and out. Order at the counter. They have a good variety of foods. The wrap is grilled and delicious. We also got noodles, which had some kick. Everything we had good and we will definitely be back."

Nguyen's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (927) • $$

"Ok. I really don't know why this is so highly rated. With so many really good Vietnamese restaurants within 10 miles, the only reason to come here is that you are too lazy to drive.Barely comparable to food in Little Saigon. The vermicelli was soggy and the sauces were mediocre. To top it off, it's double the price as a dish that is twice as good in Little Saigon.Drive."

Ho Sum Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (879) • $$

"This place is a staple in Newport and has been around forever. Once you go, it will become obvious why. The food is clean and healthy without losing the flavor. The portions are huge and they have a full bar. The service is great and the food is quick. The ambiance fits the vibes of a lunch spot more than a date night. I highly recommend trying their lunch special. Overall, a great spot for good food that doesn't break the bank."

Silk Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.1 (805) • $$

"Silk Thai has really impressed me with their Lovely food Great service, and awesome ambience. The quality of foodie superb. This is definitely authentic Thai food that reminds me of home in Thailand."

Fuji's Famous Burger

★★★★☆ 4.2 (762) • $

"Some of the best burgers in HB!! Been coming here since I was a small child and they still don't disappoint. 5 out of 5"

Krave Asian Fusion Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (882) • $$

"I love this place. Bestie and I sound it back during our IVC college days. It has been a fave spot our ours for years now!! Best fried chicken (wings...drool) and their TVs are just enough to not be sports bar :). The ambiance is amazing. Not loud where you can actually carry a conversation and just enjoy the food at the same time. Their waitstaff and cooks are friendly and amazing too. It's a must try!."

Grandpa's Kitchen - Grill Bar 168

★★★★☆ 4 (815) • $$

"Been wanting to try this place mostly because I love egg noodles and I actually prefer dry noodles. This restaurant in garden grove serves dishes that are $9.99 and everything on their menu is delicious. My friends practically ordered half the menu and I needed to try all of them cuz I knew I'd want to go back. They serve dry noodles and soup noodles and appetizers. Service was excellent and very fast! I was more impressed with their noodle dishes versus their appetizers. I also had the green thai tea and tasted the herbal tea and both were good and would definitely get again. I'm already craving this place and will ask them to add extra quail eggs in my noodles."

Pho Noodle House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (805) • $$

"How did I not know this place was here?? I've been feeling a bit under the weather and definitely needed a pho pick me up. This spot popped up on my nearby list so I figured why not? I ordered two bowls of pho with flat noodles and some egg rolls for takeout. The pho was actually quite good and felt like it brought me back to life. Their flat noodles are a lot wider than other ones I've experienced but for the price tag, their bowls are definitely worth it! Ordering online was super easy and it was ready on time. I'm excited to come back in person to dine in sometime."

Sushi Boom

★★★★☆ 4.3 (655) • $$

"I absolutely love great sushi, especially when it's always fresh! If you're planning to stop by, make sure to check their hours first. If it's close to their closing time, I'd recommend ordering your sushi to-go rather than dining in. That way, you can enjoy it at your convenience without feeling rushed.As someone who enjoys sushi hopping, I often keep my portions smaller when I'm trying multiple spots. It makes it easier to enjoy on the go, whether I'm eating in my car, at work, or saving it for later in the evening or even the next day. The best part about sushi from quality places is that it stays fresh, so it's just as delicious when enjoyed a little later!"

Loi's Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.6 (552) • $$

"I don't understand why this place is so highly rated. My friend and I ordered 2 bowls of Bun Mam. My bowl was brought out first. The broth wasn't hot enough and the fish was still raw because it hadn't completely thawed. I was so hungry that I left the fish and ate the meat and fish cake. The roast pork was very hard to chew . I had almost finished 1/2 my bowl but my friend's bowl still hadn't been brought out. Meanwhile, the two of us ordered 2 bowls of Bun Mam at the same time. And I reminded the waiter, my friend's bowl of Bun Mam was also brought out and the result wasn't any better than mine. The broth wasn't hot enough and the fish was raw like mine. After that, I had diarrhea all night. It was scary. Opening a restaurant requires a conscience and careful cooking to serve customers, otherwise no one will dare to come back to eat."

dPlace Steak & Pasta

★★★★☆ 4.2 (629) • $$$

"Super solid korean italian fusion spot! We came in around 2 and we didn't have to wait. Staff is super friendly and the place is really clean. Food is super yum & the side dishes help balance the flavors. The owner gave us the burrata grapefruit dish on the house and i think it might've been my favorite. The carbonara was really creamy and flavorful i loved that too. Pictured: burrata grapefruit, seafood marinara, carbonara, oc galbi korean"

ZZ Hotpot House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (600) • $$

"Good lunch location. Service was great and the food was delicious. This was the hot pot lunch special and was very reasonable price!"

Pacific Hideaway

★★★★☆ 4.1 (628) • $$

"Hidden rooftop gem in HB! The food is always delicious and we love how dog friendly the restaurant and hotel are! Our favorite brunch dishes were the Chilaquiles (decent spice level) and the Breakfast Burrito (looks boring in pics but was filled with deliciousness)! They also validate parking for two hours."

Phuket Thai

★★★★☆ 3.9 (684) • $$

"This my favorite Thai restaurant. The food is excellent and reasonably priced for the portions. I have been coming here for over 12 years. Every time the food is perfect, order is complete, consistent care to ensure it is exactly like I want it. I love their crabs fried rice, coconut soups ( Tom kha ) phad see u , Crying Tiger ( BBQ beef ) The items are made fresh to order and always arrive as requested . The service is amazing. The staff are polite, attentive . It is small, clean and seldom crowded."

Mayflower Dumpling Express

★★★★☆ 4.3 (550) • $$

"Came here after Knotts berry farms for a quick lunch. Service is amazing. Clean restaurant overall. Order at the register. We got Soup dumplings, chicken wonton with chili sauce, chicken chow mein and string beans. String beans were our fave! The chicken wontons had a weird consistency. Chow mein was simple and no veggies- a bit saucy but not terrible."

Aunt Cass Café

★★★★☆ 3.9 (655) • $$

"Recently rethemed, but still the same great sourdough if you are looking for it. This location seems to rotate bread pudding, so constantly on the lookout as the recent pumpkin spice one was PHENOMENAL. Yes, ALL CAPS GOOD. Love the ability to mobile order and the staff is always friendly. Lots of outdoor seating, so usually a great area to find a seat to enjoy your food. Definitely a solid quick service option for dining when visiting Disney California Adventure."

Com Tam Thuan Kieu

★★★★☆ 3.7 (714) • $$

"Coming from a Vietnamese, this place is THE BEST com tam in Orange County... hands down. I like to try com tam at different places but always come back to this place. I've been eating here since their OG location which was literally a few restaurants down from where it is now. Used to come here after every Sunday mass with my family. Their rice, meat selection, fish sauce, spring rolls, everything is sooo delicious! Not to mention took the huge portions they give you! Honestly their com tam incomparable imo. Try this place out and I know you'll also love the food. This place needs more love! I'm sad to see this place not as crowded as it used to be at its original location. I hope they stay in business because they're the best in town."

Kanji Japanese Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4 (596) • $$$

"Want to start off by saying we had great service from Kyle. He was very sweet and attentive! Under some pressure as it seems he was being trained but he was great.Now, the food:I always check reviews before trying a new place especially sushi but this time I didn't because we were in a rush so I just looked up ayce and this place came up. The food was good some of the sushi tasted very buttery but I have to say I will not be returning. I ordered a baked crawfish dish and the topping tasted like mushed up whole wheat bread, it was disgusting! My husband couldn't eat it either. Never tasted something like that before so I recommend someone at the restaurant to try it themselves. Additionally, upon getting home I had a really bad stomachache! Thankfully, my family was fine it was just me but man it was not fun! You can imagine the shock I felt when I read other people felt this way soon after eating here which was really disappointing! Was excited to have found an ayce near us but until this place determines what aspect of the food handling process is being done incorrectly that is getting people sick, I will remain far far away."

Pho A'mie

★★★★☆ 4 (584) • $$

"This is a prime example of an excellent spot in a mini mall. It's a "hidden in plain sight" gem. There appears to be about six plant based main courses on the menu. Our fam got three of them with total raving satisfaction. Vegan PhoLemongrass Vermicelli - SUPERBTofu & Veggie fry with white rice. Spring rolls / tofuPlace was quiet yet not dead.TV screen going.Food came out quick-ish.Music nice touch. Economical.Pride - a mom and pop spot."

LUA Asian Fusion Eatery

★★★★★ 4.8 (364) • $$

"Food service was wonderful. Our waiter explained the whole menu patiently and made qreat suggestions. It was clean. The food wow was very flavorful and high quality.We went there because of the Dan Dan noodle promotion and 5 star reviews on Yelp but when we got there the waiter said the place was under new ownership and they didn't have any dan dan noodle pho. We tried something different and the food was delicious."

Pho Lux

★★★★☆ 4.2 (471) • $$

"Great location & easy parking! Quick drive from the Beach. Big menu with lots of options, including Vegetarian dishes. I ordered the classic Pho Chicken (soup) & spring rolls. Casual seating and near other eateries (in shopping center) if you decide to take-out. The Thai Tea is perfect for dessert."

Fusion Corner

★★★★☆ 4.3 (414) • $$

"Came here one evening based on reviews and was in need of some nice broth. Service was great, place was clean and employees were very tentative. Bummer was we waited about 15 minutes for our food once ordered. We asked the waiter as there was only one other party dining, is are food almost ready and the gentleman said yes give it a minute or two, next thing we know the microwave bell goes off and out comes our food, I'm like damn what a bummer-he microwaved pho. I was hungry, scooped a spoon full of broth and it was luke warm! I asked the dude hey put it back in the microwave another 10 minutes and should be good to go lol.Never went back and probably will avoid this type of restaurant. I mean just put the broth in a pot, turn on stove heat add the goods and serve it up hot n proper. I won't comment on wilted veggies and quality of cuts in my pho."
