Saigon Beach

"Great Vietnamese food in Newport! It's a nice little spot in the popular area of Newport Beach. There isn't much seating but it's the perfect grab n go. The service was good and quick. The food was even better. Grilled Turmeric Chicken Vermicelli Noodle was a 10/10! The chicken was seasoned and perfectly cooked. The noodles were great. It was filling and the sauce was perfect. The shrimp spring rolls 10/10. They taste like authentic spring rolls. The peanut sauce was untraditional, but still good peanut sauce."

Urban Plates

★★★★★ 4.8 (778) • $$

"I have been to Urban Plates a few times before but not this location until recently. We had a wonderful experience here and were really impressed with the service provided by Eric. He really put in the effort to describe the food options and helped us pick which dish was best for what we were craving. He also made an effort to check on us throughout our meal.I have always enjoyed Urban Plates because the food is tasty and fresh. I recently purchased their Plate Pass which gives you 20% off every order and I have to say, it is well worth it. I think most of their dishes are reasonably priced but the discount makes them a steal! Anything with the steak is excellent and one of my favorites is the Chimichurri Steak. Yum!"

Hollingshead's Delicatessen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (911) • $$

"It's Sandwich Saturday and I was craving an Italian sandwich super hard! Hollingshead popped up via Yelp and what's super crazy is I knew exactly where that was. I've seen it a lot being in my hometown, but I've only gone past it. This is my first time going inside and having their food! #mindblowingOf course -- out of curiosity -- I asked what their most popular sandwiches were. It was the Great Scott, which I plan to have next time! But back to the main event -- my delicious-ness photos of the Little Italy! It... hit... the... spot!!! It was so good! I wanted extra meat and cheese, thus making it a Double. The mild peppers with the artichokes was perfection! A masterful delicatessen moment for my taste buds! I'm a huge fan of mortadella. This sandwich had the perfect flavor pairing with the zest from the artichokes, pepper, and vinegar. Texture was good as well. The French roll served well with the meats, cheese, and vegetables. Something else bomb about this place is that it's a sports heavy, especially towards Cheeseheads (Green Bay Packers). You can watch the game here and get a beer! There are so many beers to select from. They even have soda pop for those non-drinkers. Hank's is one of the best soda pop companies. Yum! Going back to the Packers -- it is definitely decked out with a lot of green and yellow. It looks cool and has personality. There are Green Bay Packers memorabilia and merch hanging from all corners of the place. It makes sense since the original founders are from Wisconsin!A very cool and unique style the restaurant has is instead of calling out orders with numbers, like most places... they will give you a card of a beverage. Your que to get your order is when they call out your drink name! How different is that!?I do move supporting traditional mom-and-pops. This one was established in 1963! That is unbelievable! Again, I'm born and raised in this area and cannot believe it was my first time today. Better late than never, I guess! Besides, they have one of the best potato chips -- Zapp's Voodoo! The first best chip ever is the purple bag called Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips in Sweet Maui Onion. Parking wise -- I can see that it may become an issue. The strip mall that it's in can get packed due to the number of businesses located there. Next time, I plan to come with my boyfriend. He will get soda pop and ill have a beer while trying the Great Scott!"

"Visited here with a friend and had a great first experience. Ordered the Peruvian steak sandwich with avocado and had one of the lemonades. The sandwich was very good, although a but hard to east with how messy the sandwich was put together. Overall, the staff were very friendly, there was no long line, and it was a tasty lunch. Deducted a star for pricing. 2 sandwiches and 2 drinks came out to around $45. Personally, pretty expensive for a small sandwich."

Aleppo's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (970) • $$

"A friend of mine invited me out to lunch and chose this restaurant. It was my first time.This is a Mediterranean restaurant. Since I was a guest, I did not get a chance to take a photo of the menu, hopefully there might be some photos from other yelp reviewers.Isabel, our server explained to me that their specialty are their Mediterranean bowls. They allow you to choose your protein And two sides and two sauces. They also had Mediterranean plates and salads and a variety of soft drinks and other beverages.Isabel was very attentive, and polite. She allowed us time to discuss business when she returned we ordered and within 10 to 15 minutes we had our food.I have visited other Mediterranean restaurants and I would have to say this one ranks as one of the best. What I liked about my bowl was that the rice was fluffy? The chicken was very tasty and tender. The house sauce was smooth and creamy and of course the avocados and beets were a great addition.My host and his colleague had been here before and they rave about how good it is.Along with our bowls, we ordered french fries and pita bread.Although the restaurant appeared to be small in size, it was not too noisy in spite of the fact that they were quite a few guests. As I stated before, I would definitely come back to this with my wife."

"This is the third Medocino Farms I've been to. Located in UTC, it's quite spacious and offers a large selection of seating. I also found the staff to be friendly and approachable. I like how quickly they finish orders here. We went to the one that just opened in San Juan Capistrano and it took 50 minutes to get our Avocado Turkey Salsa Verde Sandwich to be done. Happy that we only waited around 15 minutes here."

Cortina's Orange

★★★★☆ 4.4 (788) • $$

"Yeah, it's a great sandwich.It's been years since I've been to Cortina's. I've only visited the Anaheim location, but Orange is less chaotic and we were feeling like sandwiches today so we went for it.1130 is still a solid time to visit. The food arrived quickly and we were able to find seating without an issue. The sandwiches prices have definitely gone up, but they are pretty large so it you at least get a very full meal out of them. No major complaints from the table. Overall, all the food was enjoyed. I probably have the biggest gripe-I was the only one that got a hot sandwich, the chicken marinara, and my biggest issue is that it was at best lukewarm so the temperature was just not right. Cheese wasn't melted enough. It could've used some extra time warming it up however they do it. This is not the type of sandwich you want to eat at room temperature. It still tasted good and the bread is fantastic.Now that I returned, I want to run through the menu some more and knock out some other items. But let's be honest, the real reason I'll be coming back is because of the black cherry soda, which is delicious. If you've been there, you know. Most of people seem to get it. It's definitely a thing."

Big Rob's Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.4 (736) • $$

"Not your average pizza....its better!Service: This spot appears to be family ran, which is always a good sign because you know the pizza is made with love. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly and took my time to answer my questions and give me the detail I was looking for. They were happy to accommodate my request for thin crust, even though it didn't seem to be something they advertise on the menu.Food: We ordered The Works, and it was fantastic. The quality of the ingredients was top notch. The vegetables on the pizza were fresh and the meats actually had taste and were not bland. The cheese was reminiscent of some top quality Wisconsin cheeses I've had on pizzas in the Midwest. The crust was perfectly toasted and the undercarriage perfectly cooked. Not raw, not burnt, baked to have a perfect crunch.Overall: I'd recommend this place if you love supporting local small businesses or if you're just on the hunt for some great tasting pizza. They have many other items on the menu like Calzones, Chicken Parm, etc. I definitely will be back to try it all! You guys just earned a loyal customer. Thank you, Big Robs!"

Thank you RibBro for bringing good humble barbecue to Orange County."

"Best sandwiches in south OC!! With a Latin American twist. We ordered the Just the Tip mushroom sandwich and the Choriopan (Argentinian sausage). They both came on a delicious Franchese bread and had Serrano aioli on the side. The flavors were mind blowing and service was quick and friendly. They are also able to accommodate vegetarians and make substitutions which is really nice."

Piadina - Tustin

★★★★☆ 4.2 (671) • $$

"Piadina is great if you're looking for a quick bite and fresh bread. The bread is made fresh, flaky and light, and you can choose the different fillings based on pre-set items. I got the California which had turkey, veggies, and avocado. The fillings are pretty standard compared to a normal deli. So the main standout is really the bread. Other than that it's clean and has plenty of seating. There's plenty of parking and the service was quick and efficient. So it's a solid place to grab a bite and chill out."

Some of the bagels were soft, some not so soft. Odd thing it was from the same basket. Anyway, I enjoyed the soft bagels and threw out the hard ones. Maybe next time I'll inspect them. One at a time."

Esther's Place

"I work at a school in Westminster, and I am always looking for different local businesses to try. When lunchtime approaches, my coworker and I are often stumped when deciding what to try. She mentioned Esther's Place as she had eaten there a few times with another colleague. I am always up for a good sandwich, so we agreed on this restaurant for lunch.My coworker picked up the food and brought it back. She mentioned to the owner that I had not yet eaten at this place. The owner was so sweet and gave a complimentary cup of soup since I was a brand new customer. Gotta love small businesses who show appreciation for new patrons!I had the chicken salad on wheat bread, and a vegetable soup which was perfectly hot on this cool, crispy day. The vegetable soup was flavorful and I did not feel like I was missing a protein. It had potatoes, celery, and carrots, perfectly cooked. Broth was tasty, would definitely purchase this in the future. The chicken salad was fresh and light, not lost in mayonnaise. The bread was fresh as well, and the vegetables offered a nice crunch to the sandwich.Esther's Place uses quality ingredients to deliver a quality dining experience. Will definitely be adding this spot to our lunchtime rotation. Thank you!"

"When you're in the mood for a an awesome sammich, Second Reef Deli should definitely be on the list. Having been here now a couple times, it's quickly becoming my go-to when I have a sandwich craving to fill! My favorites are the pastrami sandwiches, both the grinder and the Ruben. The bread is always toasted perfectly, the pastrami super yummy and the balance of all the ingredients is perfect, never too much bread, or too much meat or too much fluff. The service is always great. My last visit an older gentleman was there with (I believe) his wife, and while I was waiting he walked around giving waiting patrons a bag of chips and and said "here's a bag of chips while you wait!" Now how awesome is that! I've had a few different sandwiches now and have not been disappointed. Great food, great service and a great price, what's not to love!"
