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"

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!."

U Sushi & Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (579) • $$

"Convenient location, easy to order.I hear their sushi is good, but I love their Korean wings! Unfortunately, the wings do not love my stomach! They are so saucy that I just can't handle them. I might be back for sushi though!"

Stoney's Pizza

"Fast service and delicious pizza! Can customize the pizzas :) would come back. I recommend this spot for any pizza lovers"

Fresh Brothers - Irvine Harvard Place

★★★★☆ 4.1 (545) • $$

"I was down in the Irvine area staying at the Hyatt Pl., John Wayne airport and I was looking for a pizza. I found fresh Brothers on YELP and ordered quickly thru the APP! it came really quick. I had called to confirm they got my order right and the pizza came before I knew it and everyone really enjoyed it, they have excellent service and I asked him to leave it at my door and sure enough they left it right at my door. I can't speak on the ambience, but it sounded like the place was chill when I called! I can honestly say that I would recommend this pizza!"

Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (586) • $$

"Hungry Bear has always been a park favorite. We were so excited they brought back bbq to this area and it did not disappoint. It's genuinely good, not just theme park good."

Fresh Brothers - Newport Beach

★★★★☆ 3.8 (457) • $$

"I had a friend recommend me to fresh brothers and I had some time to spare, so I walked in and a gentleman name Christian helped me out. He explained to me how it works and the lunch deal they have. They have so many options on pizzas and you're able to create your own!! Which is even better since I'm a very picky person. I was expecting for it to take long since I notice they make it fresh but it only took 10 minute! Christian brought me my pizza with chili flakes and some cheese, he even offered me some ranch! I was so excited for my pizza I will sure be coming back. Very clean store and organized, thank you to Christian for helping me out customer service was a 10/10"

Epic Wings

★★★★☆ 4.4 (337) • $$

"Just tried this place out and my hubby and son ordered the bone in medium buffalo wings and loved them. Well no wonder because this is actually Wings-n-Things!!! My husband said he hasn't found better wings and he's so happy the franchise is out here!"

Eat At Joe's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (357) • $$

"I usually seek places like this out when traveling for work, but with my son at a weekly Boy Scouts meeting down the street, I needed a spot to kill a couple of hours. Needed sports on TV, a few beers and some greasy bar food. This place checked all the boxes and then some. Not only did they have my favorite seltzer (Brewery X Huckleberry) but found they had a Juicy Lucy burger. First time I've seen that outside of Minnesota! Rudy the bartender was awesome to chat with and the "off-duty" Kylie who I sat next to at the bar was super friendly too. Looks like I've found my go-to on Monday nights when the son is at Boy Scouts. 5/5 would recommend!"

Furai Chicken

★★★★★ 4.5 (284) • $$

"The chicken sandwich was hot and tender, and the glaze sets it apart with a unique savory/sweet flavor combination. The sandwich with the fried egg is unique, tasty and fresh! The pickled cucumber salad is a SPICY pickled cucumber. The serving is pretty small for six bucks though. The ambience is straightforward small-shop chill. Staff are laid back and nice. I wish for some kind of additional vegetable option to round out the fried goodness and make me feel healthier."

Magic Mikes Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.2 (308) • $$

"I visited Magic Mike's tonight to enjoy some pizza while watching the Stanley Cup Final, and it proved to be the perfect local spot for a game, a drink, and a delicious meal. The ambiance is inviting, making it an ideal place to unwind.Their chicken Caesar salad is a standout, and the wings, ordered extra crispy, are exceptional--perfectly cooked with every flavor hitting the mark. We tried the pesto pizza, which was not only visually stunning but also bursting with flavor. The slight spice and the addition of whipped cheese on top elevated it to a new level.My daughter was delighted with her pizza, and she couldn't leave without sampling their cookies, which were the perfect sweet ending. For those particular about their condiments, Magic Mike's offers the coveted "good ranch." Magic Mike's combines great food with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, making it a must-visit. Diego and Sarah who served us were great too!"

Promenade Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (290) • $$

"Tiny pizza place located at the Promenade shopping center. Parking is kind of a pain to find in this area. So if you can, bring a passenger. That way you can drop them off to run in and grab your order. Then swoop them back up with the pizza lol At least that's how I would do it next time! There's no where to dine in. It isn't a sit down restaurant. It's a grab and go type of place. So call in and order and grab a friend or family member to be your "pizza runner" lol"

Pala Pizza and Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.8 (365) • $$

"The spicy bugolgi pizza is my favorite! It's the closest Korean pizza place near me and pretty authentic~~ There's only 1 cashier so it's best to call or order online and then pick up for takeout because it takes a while for the pizza. Or you can order first in person and then grocery shop while you wait."

bb.q Chicken Fountain Valley

★★★★☆ 4.4 (252) • $$

"Wanted fried chicken and heard this place was good. So, I tried four different flavors. Got the honey garlic, soy garlic, gang nam style, and original wings along with 2 curly fries, 2 corn salads, and a side of white rice. I have to admit, all were so flavorful, saucy, crunchy, juicy, and perfectly fried. Can't go wrong with curly fries. I could have done without the corn salads. It was like a cold coleslaw.Want to give a shout out to AERIEL and KHOA!!! Both provided amazing service. Super helpful, friendly, personable, and fun. Made dining there an experience. They definitely deserve a raise. Only writing this review because of my experiences with the two. I would definitely come back."

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (469) • $

"Love that chicken from Popeye's! For quick, delicious and crispy fried chicken, this is the place! It's consistently crunchy and perfectly seasoned. Gotta love the drive-thru too! You also gotta get an apple pie for dessert. It's the best packaged fried apple pie from any fast food chain. It's also always piping hot, so just be careful if it was just served."

Curry Pizza House Lake Forest

★★★★☆ 4.3 (244) • $$

"The Bay Area had Indian pizza for a long time, I waited roughly 8 years for one to come to Southern California!We got the lunch special today, a personal size pizza and side salad. We added a side of lemon pepper wings. The chicken tikka pizza was really tasty. The right spice level and right ratio of toppings to crust. I always want to try another pizza but I always come back to the chicken tikka.Chicken wings were better than I expected. Not dry like most places and well seasoned. Would definitely get again. Service has been good the few times we've gone."

Firefly Burger

★★★★☆ 4.4 (233) • $$

"Are you curious and want to try something new? Well, how about warm oozing goodness that gushes out in between your beef patties and buns. Mmm, and that dripping cheese just makes your mouth water! I had the very tasty pleasure to have such a burger with a smoking cloche for that added smokiness flavor. First time and it won't be the last, the Smokey was the burger I got and this was your basic Angus but leveled up when it was all said and done! The smoke and cheese injection is the show but even without it the other burgers are still a go! I also had their double smash burger and that too was hitting my tastebuds on all points.The joint has a rustic hunters vibe with comfy booths and the music selection is interesting. Parking can be a challenge but customers from other shops come and go pretty quickly. The service was great and I can't wait to come back and try other gens. And that's my take, Peace..."

Bred Hot Chicken - Costa Mesa

★★★★☆ 4.2 (240) • $$

"Love this halal chicken spot! Used to track them down in their food truck but now they have this spot in Costa Mesa and I try to go anytime I'm in the area!Hands down the best fried chicken place I've ever had. There's so much competition but I love that Bred uses generous portions and amazing spices and flavor. Their banana pudding is *chefs kiss*They are always super friendly as well and I love their customer service. My family also tried their fried turkey during thanksgiving and it was such a surprise! We loved it with their gravy. Decent price too."

Mountain Mike's Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (427) • $$

"$9.99 for a 2 year old toddler buffet, she only ate half a slice, thankfully employee let me take 2 small slices to go for later. I like coming here once every few months."

Porky's Pizza

★★★★☆ 4 (239) • $$

"We may have found our favorite pizza from Porky's. Thin crust well done met my crust expectations. Margherita topping was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed this one. Will be ordering again."

Yang's Braised Chicken Rice

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (350) • $$

"Best Braised Chicken & Rice Ever!Tasty & Spicy! So Good!!!I come at least once a week."

Ameci Pizza & Pasta

★★★★☆ 4.1 (225) • $

"Service - goodFood - kinda pricey for what you get, but ok.I ate here on 12/29/2024. I had the meatballs which gave me the runs. On the other hand, I've been to the restaurant three times with no issues with the food."

Ameci Pizza Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (241) • $

"Ever since I tasted their BBQ chicken pizza from my company's catering, I swore only to get it from Ameci. It's super bingeable.Also, my SO is sensitive to greasy foods, BUT this is the only pizza place that doesn't make him bloated or give him acid reflux etc. I also tend to stay away from greasy foods due to that, and this place is among the few exceptions.I recently had an issue with my order (which had, up until that point, been consistently great) and they were understanding + helped remake it. Thank you so much!"

BiG AL’S Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (212) • $$

"Came back here a second time to try different pizzas. We ordered online to take back home to eat. It only took 20 mins for pick up to be ready on a Saturday night. Hubby and I got a large half and half with BBQ Chicken and Lebanese Garlic Chicken. Pizza is beautiful again. BBQ Chicken was delicious. Definitely recommend this one. Lebanese Garlic Chicken was just okay. Maybe it's not my kind of flavor compared to the other ones I've had. Will continue to come back here. Good pizzas!!!"

Pizza D'Amore

★★★★☆ 3.9 (224) • $

"My experience with Pizza D'Amore was nothing but positive. We had a pretty big party at the park nearby, and their large catering pastas and their party size pizzas fed everyone well! I always feel hesitant about getting pastas at a pizza place, but they were genuinely good! We had the spaghetti and meatballs, fettuccini alfredo, and lasagna. Everyone complimented the food, and were shocked by the size of the pizza.I ordered weeks prior over the phone, and it was a very easy process. Great customer service, and a great price considering I fed 70-80 people. They definitely won my future business as well! Parties can be stressful, but working with them was not. :)"

Pizza Guys

★★★★★ 4.7 (153)

"Not a huge fan of BBQ chicken pizza, but here I will eat it all day! The chicken isn't dry and the sauce is perfect. 10/10 this pizza. Recommend getting stuffed crust! Makes the best crust. We get this pizza always delivered and it's always amazing. They make this ranch/garlic dressing which is amazing to dip your pizza in. Have never eaten her but would love to. They have pink boxes for Brest cancer awareness month"

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (890) • $

"I wanted to check on the craze for Popeye's chicken sandwich so I've been here a few times. The service is average and definitely not on par with Chik-Fil-A or Raising Canes. The store is a little cramped and doesn't seem as light and bright as the other chains. The sandwich is just ok and I don't see what the fuss is about. Just seems like another chicken sandwich. While I won't go out of my way for one, I will have another if it's the only chicken sandwich option out there."

Fire Wings - Long Beach

★★★★☆ 4 (186) • $$

"This place literally explains itself... Fire Wings! Coming in, I expected the wings to be okay and be compared to Wingstop or Buffalo Wild Wings, but after trying it, I think it's waaay better. The wings come unbattered, and in my opinion makes the wings juicier compared to being battered. They have an abundant amount of flavors with both wet and dry rub. I tried the lemon pepper (bomb), original Buffalo (bomb), and the Saigon street (bomb), and they were all very good. The wings are crispy and juicy. I also tried the garlic fries and they hit the spot. The fries are crinkle cut fries and are soft and crispy. I definitely recommend getting the fries to pair with the wings. This place also has a good amount of beers on tap.This place is located in 2nd and PCH so you're surrounded by great stores and food spots. The restaurant is nice and clean, and the reason that I'm giving this place 5 stars instead of 4 is the excellent customer service. It's a fast casual type of restaurant so you order at the register, then they bring the food to your table, but the workers come around and check up on you and make sure that everything is good."

22nd Street Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.2 (162)

"We had a great dinner here on a Sunday night with quick and friendly service, and our meatlovers pizza and house salads were fresh and flavorful. The pizza crust is soft and delicious. The restaurant atmosphere is pretty basic pizza restaurant with TV and small seating area and an open window sitting area with heaters."

The Boil Daddy - Stanton

★★★★☆ 4.3 (154) • $$

"My babygirl promoted today and wanted seafood. The place we originally planned for said they open at 11am but in reality it wouldn't till 2pm, and the other popular one would open even later! We were already famished and I'm glad I found this place on Yelp. They open early enough and it was more intimate cause we were the only, if not the FIRST ones in. Don't get the wrong impression that no patrons means bad business though! Food was so delicious!!! And we were even given cream puffs for dessert I also like the location."

bb.q Chicken Northpark Irvine

★★★★☆ 3.5 (220) • $$

"Been coming for the awhile but this is going to be our last. Came here on Thursday around lunch time with our family who came to visit us. What we ordered: 2 lunch specials. (Caribbean spice, honey garlic). Small 8 chicken wings soy garlic. Small 8 boneless chicken soy garlic. 2 gyoza. The reason why this will be the last because it looks like there wasn't any sauce on the chicken and we had to pay extra to add more sauce. Who does that...as you can see from the pictures...it's just a small drizzle. Which was really sad. I love to eat the picked radish and we also had to pray extra for more of the picked radish....it seems this place is money driven...not customer service driven. The server didn't seem to help us. Wasn't kind or friendly. Also one of the Togo boxes had a dead bug in it.....so yah...no thank you."

The Boil Daddy

★★★★★ 4.7 (121)

"Soft opening special 50% off ends on 12/1. Read the fine print it is a max of $25 off per adult. They ran out of crawfish when I visited but they said a new delivery would come tonight. Wish there was a sign that told us that ahead of time. I only tried their shrimp this time. Located in the same plaza as Popeyes. The parking lot is small. There are only 6 tables available when I went so I would say it's a small restaurant. They surprisingly didn't have Cajun fries. I paid the extra to upgrade to daddy fries but it was pretty much their sauce on top of the fries, which made my fries soggy after a while. The daddy wings is pretty much the same thing, fried wings with the Cajun sauce on top. Of course it's soft opening so they were working out some kinks. Would've loved it more if they had crawfish available."

Pikey's Pizza

Valentino's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (183) • $

"Very authentic Italian food here at Valentino's in Los Alamitos, CA. Been here several times, this week I tried the Lasagna with bread and salad!! Excellent The owner Ely is a hands on operator/owner! Where else can you find a gentleman who is experienced in his craft and takes it seriously! this is not a chain pizza store. Ely takes pride in his craft and it shows in the food! Looks great, tastes awesome! Love the old skool pizza makers. It's a lost art, and getting harder to find these hidden gems! Thanks Ely!! Until next time!! (FYI) such a nice man, I left my glasses and hat there, and Ely returned to open up and allow me to gather my things after he was closed! As he knew I was just staying in town just for the night! thanks again Ely!"

Buffalo Wild Wings

★★☆☆☆ 2 (654) • $$

"My group & I came in around 10:20pm on a Friday and opted to sit in the bar area. Our server was very nice but I think she was just very busy tending to 1/2 the tables in the restaurant. We attempted to order online with the QR code provided on the table but it was giving some people an error message so some ordered in person. I got the 10 piece boneless wings with 1/2 honey sriracha (limited time) and the other 1/2 spicy garlic. We also got a 10 piece bone in with all spicy garlic and fries and 1 sampler with onion rings, nachos, mozzarella sticks, and spicy garlic wings. Safe to say spicy garlic is a crowd favorite for us! I wish the honey sriracha sauce was a bit spicier but it was still good.Parking is always easy to find in this shopping center and the restaurant was very clean."
