Fisherman's Table Yamasaki

★★★★☆ 4.4 (367) • $$$

"We got our 2nd Tuna Event and just refreshing to have fresh tuna, from the sea to our table. It's all you can eat tuna until you're tunafiedBefore 2024 ends, we'll have a 3rd round for Tuna Event."

Pizza 900

★★★★★ 4.6 • $$

"Great pizza. Pizza toppings were generous and the pizza was baked well, great crust consistency too. The surprise find was the fries. They have parmesan sprinkled atop with a garlic flavor to them. I ordered them extra crispy and they were perfect. Ordering online for pickup was easy and food was ready at the time promised. Parking can be hard to find depending on the time of day you go, as it's located in a an area with a lot of other restaurants."

Sweetfin - Newport

★★★★☆ 3.7 (95) • $$

"This location is spotless, and the staff are friendly! The ingredients are well stocked, and everything looks so fresh! Sweetfin is not your ordinary poke spot. They have so many more options. Black rice, different vegetables, fruits, wasabi toppings (the Wasabi furikake was a lil overpowering), yuzu sauce, white TRUFFLE OIL, nuts, mushrooms...innovated sauces..(The black truffle gochujang sounds good).PLANT BASED options available!! Miso mishroom/eggplant, chili shitake tofu, and ponzu lime sweet potato. I don't think I choose the right sauces, it didn't taste as I expected but I'll definitely come back to try the different creation."

Zpizza

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (182) • $$

"The food is really good, and there's nothing negative to say about it. We've been many times!...but the service is exceptional! We ordered for delivery, as we were staying at a resort in the area. The delivery driver called ahead of time to see exactly where we were. He made sure we knew he was on his way, and everything was easy!In a world where service is lacking, places like this make you happy to do business."

Booskies Cookies

★★★★★ 4.9 (40)

"Whoa. Soo good!!!I am not vegan, not non-dairy and not gluten free, and no one in my immediate family is either! But I was offered ONE of these humble little cookies one day, and with a bit of skepticism took a bite and was mind blown. I looked up the site and made an order of 3 large bags and sample mini bags of each of the other flavors.My husband is the pickiest most stubborn person who will only ever eat the same things he's always eaten and doesnt trust anything new or healthy. I managed to get him to try a bite where the result, I believe, was confusion, shock, and happiness. And then he ate more and kept contemplating what was happening to him until he said " Hmph! Wow. These are good!" For anyone new to gluten free or vegan confectionaries, I know these "labels" tend to shoot up immediate red flags, but I am telling you, these are amazing and addictive! Yes the texture is different than your usual flour, butter, egg cookie, but the texture (like a fine-nutty-buttery-chewy grain) is actually surprisingly wonderful and perfect!These bite sized chewy goodnesses have just the right amount of sweet but still are somehow packed with so much flavor ( and protein!! ) and delightful chew in the right proportions. Size, flavor, texture, variety. Bookies checks them all for me!I honestly love all the flavors. When I indulge I might eat one or two of each flavor in a sitting, but these are my top three:Cashew cardamom almond butterChocolate chipCrispy gemsAs I write, I have finished my last cookie and will be placing another order for myself, to share, and as goodies for grad gifts and upcoming bday/office gifts as the packaging is also cute/clean design for gifting!Buy them!! You won't regret it!!"

Goop Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (95)

"Wow, Goop is delicious!So this is a cloud kitchen, you order and pick it up. The parking lot in front of the cloud kitchen is very small, just know that. Once you go inside there are a bunch of different cloud kitchens, find the Goop one and tell them your name to get your order.They package the food is a huge bag with the goop logo. There is no ambiance because it's pick up only, however, the employees are very nice. I ordered spring rolls with tofu, lettuce cups with tofu, potato pizza and spaghetti- everything was 10/10. I highly recommend! I'm happy they have a location in Orange County!"

Chronic Tacos

★★★★☆ 3.6 (587) • $$

"Great portion size, good flavors, great value for a family dinner out. The Carne asada quesadilla was huge along with a two taco platter easily fed a family of 4. Served with generous Pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream and salsa."

Deux Pates

★★★★★ 5 (10)

"This bakery may just be a life-changing experience for gluten free folks. I picked up a gluten free brioche and OMG, it is unbelievably delicious. It's lightly sweet and oh-so-fluffy, with the perfect brioche texture. You would never, ever guess this is gluten free. How? How did they do it?? This is not the sad, flat, dense gluten free baked goods you're used to. This brioche is otherworldly. I am in awe. Deux Pâtes has a variety of incredible gluten free baked goods, and they provide friendly and helpful service, including a little info card that instructs you how to heat and when to consume or freeze your newly purchased baked goods. I found Deux Pâtes at a Mission Viejo Night Market; check their website to see where they'll be popping up next."

Santa Maria BBQ & Catering

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"SHARON deserves a raise she is working the register the drink counter and running the orders to the tables at lunch rush hour and the POS gives her drama. She is one of the main reasons we return. While the food is great she is fan freak'in fantastic ! Please help make her job a little easier. The cheesy Porker is my go to. Delicious."

AWG Bakery

★★★★★ 4.8 (15)

"The absolute best bread period! When it comes to gluten free bread; I feel like it's hard to find something that tastes as good as it is for you. AWG has done it! Plus it's grain free as well.I use AWG for sandwiches, avo toast, croutons, pizzas, etc.Amazing local brand, highly suggest!"

Bluestone Lane Old Towne Orange Café

★★★★☆ 3.9 (537) • $$

Il Dolce Pizzeria & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (574) • $$

"This is an excellent, family run, everything made on site restaurant! The service was great, the food was fresh and the taste was exceptional. Their pizza dough is amazing and the taste is off the charts. Their empanadas are tasty and authentic Argentinian. If you want a great Italian meal at a nicely run family restaurant that makes its food fresh daily, then you have to come try!"

Pei Wei Asian Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 3 (486) • $$

"This is the last running Pei Wei and I will give them 5 stars for staying in business. The day this place closes will be a sad day for me. Seize the day!"

khoi And Claire Creations

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I was lucky enough to be gifted Khoi and Claire's cookies at a volleyball tournament. Let me tell you the cookies were delicious and addicting! I would recommend these cookies to everybody!"

Kabuto Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (132) • $$

"Kabuto is such a hidden gem in Seal Beach, and I secretly want to gatekeep this spot! Located near a small center, Kabuto serves teriyaki bowls, rolls, and other sides at a decent price! Every time I get their dragon bowl with beef, chicken, and rice! It's a simple bowl with fresh and clean ingredients. They also advertise themselves as a gluten-free business! Their crunchy roll and nigiri are great, too! The fish tasted fresh, and overall, I have no complaints. Inside the restaurant, they have Japanese art and decorations, which I really enjoy, and there is plenty of seating. It's an ideal lunch spot; just be sure to check their hours, as they are not open on the weekends!"

Nelia Organics

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I've been searching for good Gluten Free cookies for a while now so I ordered some cookies from Nelia Organics to give them a shot and WOW! I can't believe they're gluten free and only use CLEAN INGREDIENTS.... they taste like a completely normal cookie!!!!If you want a very delicious treat and you don't want to feel guilty, I recommend ordering from Nelia!"

Evolve Bakery

★★★★★ 4.8 (23)

"One of the best gluten free bakeries around. We have orders several times from them and my girls who can't tolerate gluten LOVE anything from this bakery. Keep them in mind for the holidays. My gluten free guests were so very happy they had something to eat!! Cupcakes are amazing. Breads amazing Anything they make!!!! Treat yourselves. You won't be disappointed. Oh. And they deliver!!!!!!"

Mochioo Donuts

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"I found the bakery at an event and really love their donuts. I recently placed a large order for an event at work and the donuts were a hit with my coworkers. Love how they're packed with protein and baked. The owner was super sweet with helping me pick the flavors. There was not a single donut left! Bummer because I wanted seconds. Definitely going to be my go to for when I need to bring something to a party!"

Divine Science Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.2 (59) • $$

"It's a gluten free beer place. People who come here either have a gluten allergy or find this place as a closest bar in the area. I think it's a good place to hang out after work with decently priced beers. I appreciate the table top games and the TV seems to always be showing something interesting. The place is spacious, clean, and in a quiet spot, so it's easy to have a good time."

Chronic Tacos

★★★★☆ 3.9 (433) • $

"I didn't enjoy my food here, despite other people recommending it. We were stopping at the florist in the same lot, and I thought Chronic would be a quick easy take out lunch. I brought it back to work, and it was pretty terrible. The tacos were bland, the rice was hard and inedible. Won't be back."

Chixy Natural

★★★★☆ 4.4 (471) • $$

"This is where you want to go for a casual meal that's healthy but still delicious. They have online ordering which makes dining here easy and convenient. To be honest, the photos on their site looked a little too healthy to me and not very appealing. But I'm glad I decided to give them a try anyway.Their focus is on rotisserie chicken and you can see them cooking in the front window. The place is small and cozy with a few tables for dining in but it seems like a lot of people order take out.I got the Combo #1 ($12.50) that comes with a 1/4 rotisserie chicken, two sides and cornbread or tortilla. The cashier warned me it would be a small piece of chicken (which it was) but it's enough for one person if you're not too hungry. The chicken was cooked perfectly and pairs well with their lemon garlic sauce, which is more lemony than garlic. I chose coleslaw and mashed potatoes as sides and they tasted like they were homemade. I really enjoyed the unique flavor of the coleslaw. I think it had pineapple in it.The food here is simple but flavorful and fresh. You don't have to feel guilty about eating out when you come here."

Oto Sushi

★★★★★ 4.5 (97)

"My husband and I went for a date night! Fish is HIGH, HIGH quality, dare I say... the best I've had in south county. It's very rare that you walk away from a restaurant and EVERY single item you order is a 10/10 ball hit out of the park but that's what I feel like walking out of Oto. Absolutely delicious .Atmosphere is vibey, moody and comfortable. Gavin recommended some exceptional dishes for us (some were part of the new menu items and ended up being our favorites) Anthony, our waiter, was exceptional with service -- attentive, quick and kind. He had great knowledge of the menu :) I wish I took photos of everything but this is what we ordered and I have not a single note or regret :- steelhead carpaccio with uni butter- Yuzu truffled hamachi (my personal favorite)- Shrimp tempura- Chicken karaage- Salmon sashimi- Tuna sashimi- Shishito sticks- Scallop sticks- Black cod stick- Ember kissed albacore (my husbands favorite)- Laguna Heat Roll- Japanese CheescakeWe've already let all our people know that they have to try out this restaurant with us and we will most definitely be back really, really soon because there's a ton of other items we can't wait to try!"

GG's Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (616) • $$

"I love GGs. It's been around for so long and it is just as good now as it was YEARS ago. I love the tabouli they have and highly recommend!"

Papa Pizza Pie

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Ok - I've found my new favorite Pizza Place! Papa Pizza Pie is amazing!! The wonderful person that greeted us was so sweet. The food was amazing and we were able to just chill inside at a table. Let me just say - we got the Supreme Pizza and it was everything I want in a pizza. Tasty ingredients - not too much or too little sauce. Very savory. 10/10 on the pizza. If you like pizza and you are in the area, this is a must try!"
