Mouthwatering Restaurants in Santa Ana

"What an amazing place! Warm, friendly people, great food and awesome prices. Thank you so much D&H. Such a home-town feel, very personal, and very kind. I was visiting Anaheim from SD, and could tell this place is a favorite with the locals. The breakfast croissant sandwich with a FRIED egg (my choice between fried and scrambled - wow). A breakfast sand needs fried, but not many places give you the choice. And a nice big piece of bacon! And the price, wow! It was big...and I wasn't hungry until evening. And I got a huge cup of coffee, with whole milk, for $2.50, like twice as big as Sbux. And it was good coffee, thoroughly enjoyed it.... THANK YOU D&H, thank you."

"Great food at a reasonable price! I love their shrimp spring rolls and egg rolls. My husband is hooked on their shrimp pho. The service is fast, and the staff are friendly. There aren't many good enough Vietnamese restaurants in the area and this place offers good variety for its value. I love their clean and modern vibes too."

"The BEST pizza in the OC. We love their specialty pizzas!! Highly recommend the Rocky Graziano"

"Located inside the QT Golden Market Place they have durian/avocado smoothie at this tea place. Unlike other places, this place use a lot of avocado for the smoothie. They also have the smashed avocado and they taste really good too."

"Ordered breakfast today with an omelet, hashbrowns, and sourdough toast. Uber eats delivered the food, hot and tasty.The service was good and of course the ambiance of my home was quite nice.Recommended"

"Food, service, value. Recommended by another coworker, we came during lunch and discovered this great find. This will be added to the lunch rotation during the business week."

"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!"

"I was craving boba at the 626 market and I came across this booth and it looked interesting. I got their signature three layer drink, which is a layer of strawberry, milk, and matcha and it was great!The good thing about this brand is that, they don't make their drinks overly sweet! And they told us that they make the strawberries fresh everyday too.In some places I tell them to make it half sweet or even a little bit sweet, and it still comes out like diabetes.I wanted to try out their lychee drink too, but unfortunately they sold out of that one. But definitely give this place a try when you see them at the 626 market!"

"Review 6 of 2025I was running out of time so I ordered just the cheese burger with cup of water. The restaurant itself is small. There are plenty of tables inside and outside.The parking lot is extremely small and tight. I was lucky enough to find the spot.Service was good and fast.Ambiance is cool with nice wall arts on the wall to the ceilings.I will definitely go back."

"Great experience with delicious food. Both the server and the owners are very nice and welcoming. They're open until midnight so you can come here for late night cravings!"

"The food is tasty, staffs are nice and friendly. I like the outdoor street food at night. They also accept EBT."

"Cute, little boba shop!I love me some boba. And searched for a new spot after I got off work. I saw the positive reviews on Yelp, and decided to drive over to Fruitea Boba. The shop isn't very big. There's some seating inside, but not a lot. I would suggest taking it to-go.I ordered the dragon fruit smoothie with boba. It was delicious! They gave me a ton of black boba in the bottom, and the boba was really warm. With the cold smoothie and warm boba, I was in love haha I don't know why I like the different temperatures in my drink. Plus, the fruity flavor of the smoothie. It was tasty. Service was good, they made my drink quickly. I will be back! :)"

"Stumbled upon El Governador at a Ska show in Garden Grove last night, and OMG! We ordered chicken tacos and the loaded quesadilla. Everything was so YUMMY! The ingredients are super fresh, and their customer service is great too. My only complaint, and it's a tiny one, I wish chips came with everything on the menu instead of just the burrito...lol! Other than that, I hope I stumble upon El Governador again in the near future so I can try more stuff on the menu."

"Honestly, this is my go-to ramen spot in the Fullerton/Anaheim area! The ramen is always a perfect 10/10, and I love that they offer more than just pork broth options for non-pork eaters. I usually go for the miso chicken and make it extra spicy!**Plus, all their fried sushi is amazing."

"The best service, it gets pretty busy on Mondays but that doesn't stop the bomb food.Leslie is the best, she's so funny and welcoming. We enjoyed coming to this Denys we're located in YL.Thank you Denys! See you soon maybe tomorrow"

"To be honest, I'm not a meat eater, but I have ordered from here a handful of times and it's always been a hit with my family. They don't really have any vegetarian options, but I always order the quesadilla for myself and they don't skimp on the cheese. Service has always been really good and they are so fast! One of my orders was wrong and they quickly fixed it for me super fast as I was short on time.Little "hole in the wall" place, restaurant is really clean, there's a salsa bar, inside seating. Parking is limited depending on the time you go and it's in a small strip mall so getting in and out sometimes can be a bit challenging."

"We have been here numerous times and have taken friends and family. Each time it has been a great dining experience with delicious food in a beautiful space. Last night was no different. It was a very busy Saturday night and we had to make reservations. We waited just a bit but that was to be expected because the place was buzzing. Our family was served by Natalie and she was fantastic. Her presence made it a memorable dinner. It really shows how excellent service can make or break a dining experience no matter how delicious the food. She was on top of it even with how busy the restaurant was. Our water was topped, our chips and dips were switched when low, she checked in at the right times to make sure we had everything we needed but wasn't overbearing. The food was excellent and she brought out plenty of boxes for leftovers along with items to bag up chips and dip. I haven't had such great service in a while and this was comparable if not exceeded nicer restaurants like The Ritz. We walked away impressed and very happy with our meal. The food (amazing every single time) and ambience (a variety of seating styles that are all very comfortable and stylish) is always great here, but the service definitely made this meal. Thanks to Natalie and the wonderful staff for always making it so we are looking forward to coming back."

"You donut know how much I love youCame early in the morning and got Fast Donuts (mix and match 12 donuts) for work and it was a hit. Everyone loved it and said donuts were fresh. They were a good size too. Staff was kind , quick and patient. I think it's $.25/.50 charge for credit card"

"I've been to my share of food trucks in my day. Recently, this truck started posting up near my work at the corner of 17th street and Santa Ana Ave. After seeing half our staff constantly stuffing their faces with delicious looking Mexican food, I decided to give it a whirl! They offer a variety of menu items that all look delicious. My coworker swears by the quesadilla that looked stuffed with carne asada! I've only got the tacos and don't see the need to venture any further as I'm so happy every time I get them! The Al Pastor is the best I've had EVER! Tacos are better than any brick and mortor place in town! The salsa is really where it's at! Can thank you guys enough for parking next to our place! A must try!!!"

"I used to have a Pizza Press right across the street but it's been gone for a bit. It was fantastic & I was craving a pizza. I ordered from Door Dash & am a bit disappointed in this one. Crust was thinner than I recall, toppings very haphazardly topped; some slices okay, others no topping. Toppings seemed slim from what I recall & even with delivery, pizza was quite cold. I'll given them another shot in person but wasn't particularly impressed, and rather a bit disappointed when I remember how good the one across the street was."

"Very very good.We went here after a recommendation from the community Facebook group page. We have been going to a Thai restaurant in orange for over 15 years, and the owner sold. The new Owners changed up our favorite dishes. The atmosphere wasn't the same and customer service was lacking.So needless to say we were on the hunt for a new regulars Thai restaurant to go to. I think we have found our new regular place.Atmosphere was welcoming, service was fantastic, food was beautiful and delicious.I ordered the pad Thai with chicken, it was stupendous.My husband ordered the gai kua. I tried a few spoonfuls of it, and it was so delicious.We will definitely be back. Worth a try!"

"I stumbled upon this place and glad I found it. I ordered the Italian and mushroom soup. I loved the Italian--bread was nicely toasted and fillings were generous. Mushroom soup was yummy although I was disappointed that there weren't big mushroom pieces. Overall I rate this place high. The store is tiny with no inside seating. I enjoyed my dinner in my car in the parking lot. It was my first time there and the staff there was welcoming and helpful with my ordering. I would definitely visiting again to try other items on the menu."

"Came here after Disney and got the a pepperoni pizza with my boyfriend! It was deliciously cheesy. We also got an order of fried Oreos and those were also AMAZING."

"Came back last week for my birthday! Another great experience. The sushi tastes very freshWill be back!"

"I had a vegan ceviche tostada which was surprisingly very similar to fish ceviche. I also had a queso taco with pastor which I ate before I could take a picture of it. Very good. Great vegan option great taste great qualityq mmmI"

"Food:What we've tried and loved:Pizza: Say Cheese, Honey Bear, Field Mushroom, and Pesto Chicken. Kids Menu: Daughter likes the cheese pizza and the spaghetti and meatballs. Other: Roasted chicken with mushrooms pasta, Brussels sprouts, chicken wings. Service:Friendly staff. Some days food comes out quick, others, it does take a while. Really depends on the rush. Ambiance:- Spacious - Clean - Nice outdoor area - great for large groups - kid friendly. 100% recommend. :)"

"If you know me, I'll drive out of the way to get high quality coffee especially from a little hole-in-the-wall type of joint. So that's what I did a few weeks ago. Headed over here right after work around 8:30AM on a Sunday making a huge detour so I hope it was worth it. Read on to find out if it did or not.Here's what I ordered: **Creole Latte: The lady recommended I order this with whole milk so that's what I did. I absolutely loved the flavor! You can taste all the spices working its magic together and it's not sweet at all! (5/5)**Iced Latte: I like to order a basic drink once in a while. Got this with oat milk and it was delicious. (5/5)Excellent service by what seemed like a husband and wife duo. The customer service here is out-of-the-world AMAZING! It seemed like they like to connect with everyone which is a huge plus!They have a very huge space including private meeting rooms with conference tables, an area for their paint & sip sessions they hold every once in a while, and a very clean, spacious area to sit around. Seems like a very great place to get work done if you're a student or just out and about in general. They have some merch available at the front.I will definitely be back in the near future if I'm in the area. Their food and pasty options looked amazing. Their creole latte was one of the best coffee drinks I've had this year. I 100% recommend this place for all you coffee lovers!"

"Quan Ca Saigon continues to be my favorite place to get Vietnamese baked catfish!I've been coming here since 2020 and have always dined in. For the first time ever, I decided to place an order by phone for pickup to eat at home. I am happy to report that it is just as good to enjoy it at home as it is to eat it at the restaurant fresh! Everything was packed so well (see photos)! I was impressed that the catfish came in such a nice foil tray even though I ordered a small 3 pound catfish ($30). This amount was more than enough to feed three people.I love the two sauces - tamarind and fish sauce that it comes with! Veggies were fresh and I asked for the fried onions to be packed separately so that I can reheat at home. Speaking of reheating at home... I kept the fish out in room temperature for several hours before reheating it in the oven. I set my oven to 400F under the "Roast" setting and it took about 15 minutes before it was perfectly crispy and warmed through. Honestly, it tasted so good that I am going to do order pickup from now on because I like eating this at home instead of the restaurant.I was worried of the language barrier over the phone, but the lady who took my order was sweet and understood me well. I highly recommend Quan Ca Saigon if you're looking for Vietnamese baked catfish!"

"I really love this place to get my regular matcha latte drink!I am a matcha lover and the worker recommended that I try their iced blueberry matcha latte!I love how they use good quality matcha powder and good quality milk!I also tried their strawberry matcha latte and I think it's so amazing!I also love the cute decor and games that they have.I love sitting here to get my drinks and do a bit of work and relax here! A great place to study or catch up with friends. Service is also great, friendly workers and fast service!I love talking to the owner here she's very nice and sweet. Definitely coming back here as a regular customer!"

"A delicious little, tiny (and I mean little and tiny) teriyaki spot in Santa Ana surrounded by all south of the border restaurants. You can walk up to the order window, or use the drive-thru. The building is literally only as big as the kitchen. There is a table with chairs against the wall though, if you want to eat there. The meats are excellent, as are the sauces, and you may wait a little bit for your food, but it is so worth it! My favorite item here is the beef teriyaki plate, but the chicken is also really, really good! Every plate comes with a side salad and egg roll. And you get so much food too, so you will have left overs. It's definitely a great little eatery that you have to check out while driving down Edinger. But before you leave, check your meals to make sure you got everything. I always do, no matter where I'm at."

"I wanted to make some Jasmine green tea from a friend at work who kept bringing it in. She kept telling me I can just make it at home. I finally got a chance to visit this market and oh my gosh, if you need anything to make a boba bar for work or for a family party, this is the place to go!!! They literally have everything you need from the cups, straws, toppings, and flavors. I saved so much money buying my teas from this place. I keep making it at work because the bag of green tea is huge, it'll last me all year probably. I made my own tapioca balls and it was so easy and they have every topping you can think of. This place was awesome and they have so many other things!!!"

"Pho Redbō - A Luxurious Twist on Pho!If you're a fan of Pho and a lover of Wagyu, Pho Redbō is a must-visit. They've elevated the traditional Vietnamese dish to a whole new level with the finest cuts of Wagyu to the melt-in-your-mouth A5 Wagyu. The broth is absolutely incredible - they simmer Wagyu bones for over 12 hours, creating a rich, savory base that sets this pho apart from any other.I highly recommend starting your meal with the Golden Truffle Fries - crispy, golden perfection with just the right amount of truffle oil. The Crispy Eggrolls are also a great choice, with a perfect crunch and savory filling. And for something a little more indulgent, try the Wagyu Sliders - a juicy, flavorful bite that pairs perfectly with the pho.Wash it all down with their refreshing Lychee Tea, with a squeeze of lime for that extra burst of freshness. Pho Redbō isn't just a pho spot; it's an experience. Where tradition meets luxury, one bowl at a time. Highly recommend, service is great and quick. Plenty of open space and natural light and seating for all to enjoy!"

"No complaints at all here . Open 24 hours ! This place was close to our room. Stopped by around 8:30 pm. There were a lot of variety available and the donuts were fresh and delicious!! The staff were friendly and the establishment was clean"

"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 guy who works here is really nice. It's better than your average corner liquor store, even though honestly, I don't think I have been in a corner liquor store since my last road trip so long ago that I can't even remember it. Even then I don't think I visited one and I feel like I am in some Indy movie whenever I stop at one, but I digress.It has a decent craft beer selection and comparable prices to BevMo.Most importantly, after a stressful day at Disney with a toddler, when your accommodating husband wants to stop for beer, because he has lost his voice and has done whatever you asked for all day long on his last day off, while still purchasing the entire family $$$$ Disney passes for the following year, you happily oblige. Then you write the ftr.A husband with beer is a husband with cheer...."
