Chinitos Tacos

"Our first time visiting, with a toddler nonetheless, and B-Line (the owner) showed us great hospitality! We ordered the Cali burrito and a chicken quesadilla for our 3 year old daughter. The Cali burrito has that chewy, translucent tortilla that is crispy on the outside, yet stretchy/ chewy/ soft on the inside. I freakin' love tortillas like that! Burrito was well constructed that each bite had carne asada, fries, and the fixings. Loved the melted, gooey cheese, too!Kids chicken quesadilla could have been an adult entree. Loaded with perfectly grilled and tender chicken chunks. Came with a side of beans and rice. My daughter is a picky eater and she was devouring her quesadilla like there was no tomorrow.Thai tea horchata was so unique and yum! Highly recommend. We opted to dine in. B-Line brought us a high-chair and told us that he'd bus the table when we were done. He had a huge catering order that he was working on and he ended up sharing some leftover mac and cheese with my daughter. Again, the picky toddler devoured that mac and cheese immediately.Service was awesome. Food was great - the yelp stars don't lie. Parking is free, in a strip mall lot. Apple pay FTW. There's a constant flow of people coming in to order/ dine in and pickup for take-out. Only a few tables inside so I think most people opt for take-out. I can't wait to come back and try some new items off the menu."

"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."

"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."

"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."

KooKoo Grill

"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."

"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

"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."

The Mustard Seed

★★★★★ 4.7 (552) • $$

"Hands down the best vegan food in the area. Wow! I had the artichoke crabcakes fried and they were super delicious. The right amount of crisp, i saw some corn and peppers mixed in. The staff was super friendly and the chefs in the back were throwing down in that kitchen!. Every order that came out had me wanting to change my own order. It was such a good vibe inside. Folks enjoying their meals with family and friends. Let us know, how good the food was. I will definitely be back. The vibe alone is a positive."

Loi's Kitchen

"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."

"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"

"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."

Soju Belly

"Came here for a night out with friends and had so much fun. The ambiance with the fluorescent lights were so nice and it genuinely felt like a club at some points with how loud it was. We ordered the Tteokbokki, Corn Cheese, with the Pineapple and Watermelon Soju Bowls. It all tasted so good but the standout was the Pineapple Soju Cocktail. I kept going back for seconds and thirds. Love this place!"

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."

The Rice Street

★★★★☆ 4.3 (537) • $$

"I've had plenty of Thai food and none have hit the spot so far. This place definitely hit all the right tastebuds for me. Let's start with the papaya salad. The flavors were just astronomical and we ordered it spicy and it was spicyyy. My ear drums were ringing a little from jt but it wasn't too bad after. This is an off menu item and will only be put on the menu if people are willing to try it.Spicy spaghetti was probably my absolute favorite thing, the flavors of sweet spicy and savory just dance on your tastebuds. This place is known for their rice street noodles and it's a Thai version of kung pao chicken. It was good but my preference would've been to make it a little spicier. It was more on the sweet side for me. Overall probably one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in a while. And I would definitely come back to try the other dishes."

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."

"Parking is good and it's gated once you get there you will know why. Around the area is rough but it's a nice hidden gem with some of the freshest fish we tasted. Service was great possible owner is very attentive making sure everything is just right. Menu was a little confusing at first when ordering. Once all figured out we know for next time how to order. Quiet we went on a off day there and no one was there besides my little family. Will definitely come back here."

Daru Sushi

★★★★★ 4.5 (439) • $$

"Nice local sushi joint. Located on a busy street with parking on the sides, very clean and bright interior. They offer a great bento box lunch special and they are very generous with their protein! We also ordered the sushi taco which is real nori coated in tempura as the taco shell. My recommendation -- get the spicy sushi taco!"

Nguyen's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (503) • $$

"What a surprise. We just stopped in as a last min choice for a quick dinner before the movies for Father's Day. We left satisfied and delighted. It's a pretty cozy spot, was quiet when we got there but got louder as people showed up. It was clean and well kept, has a nice to go station by the door in case you don't finish all the goodies.The garlic noodles, chicken, steak and shrimp were all tasty! The Cajun fries were super crispy and fresh. That being said, I think the fries could use a bit more seasoning imo.Overall the service was pretty quick, for the amount of food we ordered. We ordered quite a bit, it came out with in 20 mins I believe. We ate it all, it was delicious.I love that they're open late, so we're definitely coming back at some point."

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."

Bao N Baguette

★★★★☆ 3.7 (560) • $

"In a world where so many banh mi places are shrinking their bread and giving smaller and thinner slices of meat, I'm so happy to have found Bao N Baguette! I ordered a couple of #1 combo banh mis to go. I am happy to report that they have head cheese and meat that is thick and hearty with a healthy amount of veggies on the side. Please don't ever change. Will definitely be making this my regular spot when I'm in the area! Please open one on the Westside! Will have to try their baos next time."

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."

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu

★★★★☆ 4 (451) • $$

"I was never a shabu fan until I tried Mokkoji. It's soo delicious, I can never get enough! All of my visits here have been great, from the service I receive, the food, the environment, everything is a 10/10. Depending on what time you go during the day, parking might be a little difficult since the plaza is a bit small. I usually get the Original broth with a Regular Toro, but if I'm feeling extra hungry, I would get the large and give my boyfriend whatever I can't finish. My boyfriend likes the Spicy Pork Broth, which is also really good but keep in mind, that one is $5 extra. The order comes with ponzu and peanut sauce, a bowl of white rice, and veggies/udon/tofu. The meat is plated so beautifully, you can't help but snap a picture. Not only that, but it's such good quality. I've had shabu meats where it's too dry or chewy and wasn't enjoyable. But that's never the case here, leaving me with a good lasting impression every single time.Some things to note: They do offer indoor and outdoor seating (I prefer sitting indoors). The price might seem a little expensive (my order comes out to around $25-$30) but for the amount of food you get + the quality, it's always worth it in my opinion. For your broth and/or sauces, the servers ask if you want hot drops but if you're not a fan for spice, beware because even just one drop is SPICY! Don't underestimate those tiny drops. Also Mokkoji is not AYCE, but even though that's the case, the amount of meat they give is enough to fill me up. 10/10!!!"

Phở Hello

★★★★☆ 4.3 (376) • $$

"I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy this pho was! I don't like to try new pho places bc I'm so picky with pho but we were in area and I was super hungry! The place didn't have anyone in there besides us so I was nervous lol We ordered the #1 with the steak, short rib, tendon and meatball and split it to see how it was before ordering anything else. It came quick with a very friendly owner who we chatted with most of our dinner. I always know if it's a good broth if I don't need to add much hoison or sriracha and I only added a little to enhance the already yummy flavor! We ended up getting full sharing it and we're both very happy with how good it was! My fav pho place shut down so now we have our new spot! Would definitely recommend!!"

Chop Chop Chicken

★★★★★ 4.5 (340) • $$

"I can't believe I've been to this plaza for YEARS and I've never tried this place out. I was craving Mediterranean food and decided to check this place out. I have 0 regrets because their service and food both exceeded my expectations! I ordered the Combo bowl with the garlic, creamy chipotle, and spicy chipotle sauce (this sauce was eh) and WOW, it was scrumcious! The place is very big and there are many tables in the back. I feel like this is a great go-to spot for some quick, decent, healthy, and cheap meals. It's definitely a bang for your buck!"
