Barcode The Lounge

Tustin's Barcode Lounge!Made fresh to order Mediterranean food with an upbeat indoor outdoor ambiance. Recommend trying the combo plate with both chicken kabob and beef koobideh. Been a customer for this location for several years, it has always been consistent. The barcode pizza is also a hit. The outdoor patio also has several tv's that are used for providing visual entertainment. This location is also known for being a great hookah lounge. All in all, a great option for tasty food accompanied with a relaxing but also upbeat lounge hangout ~

I was really looking forward to hookah for my birthday. We showed up and I was already underwhelmed, I was expecting a dimly lit party lounge but it was dead & brightly lit instead. Fair enough, it's a Thursday, there was only 1 other table there. We order from their limited drinks menu & a hookah. We waited a while before we got the hookah, the beer was warm and the margarita was just ok. Finally, the hookah hose was plastic and it was broken. For a place that is dedicated to hookah, I was not impressed at all. I tried calling out for the server since we sat outside but she didn't come.. we couldn't smoke bc the hose wasn't working so it was a messWe just decided to leave And instead of asking what was wrong or how they could serve us better, I was just charged. I understand I was just another customer so service didn't matter but to me it was supposed to be special... it wasn't at all.

The setting is energetic and fun and great for a night out with friends. Food, music and hookah. Food was delicious. Especially loved the tzatziki and the ground beef skewer. Will be back!

So I struggled whether or not to write this review because I know how much impact they can have on a business. Let me start with the food was excellent! The rice was fluffy, rich, buttery and moist without being mushy. The chicken kabob and beef koobideh was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The meats were not only flavorful but we're so juicy. The salad was fresh and crispy. The salad dressing was like a creamy Mediterranean Caesar. Service on the other hand was pretty much non existent. The guy looked at us like he was shocked to see someone. I asked if they were open. Apparently, we interrupted his phone and soccer watching time! He pointed at the scan code on the table and said scan there for the menu and walked away. We had to ask for water. My partner had to go and find him to pay since he did not come back out to check on us. If service was not bad I would absolutely give this place 4 stars. I hope this guy was just having an off day. We will give this place another shot because the food was so good. The lunch specials are a fantastic price and are very generous portions. Try this place and I hope you have better service than we did.

I recently moved to the area and I LOVE hookah so I had to find a local spot. I've visited Barcode The Lounge three times now and it's always a positive experience. Note: Most spots around here do not serve hard liquor AND hookah. Keep in mind they will only have wine and beer here. Food: 10/10 tbh - well seasoned, unique menu, balanced flavors and good portions for the price point. The lunch specials start at $10.Hookah: 10/10 - good price point and large flavor selection. They also use cubed charcoal for a better smoking experience. Some people say the price is high but I lived in Atlanta so it's comparable in my opinion. Service: 10/10 - they're attentive, knowledgeable and kind. As a single woman, I visit on lunch sometimes and am able to go to the restroom while the staff ensures my belongings are safe. Ambiance: 10/10 good patio and indoor seating. Beautiful tunes. It's just a great place to be!

So far everything that I've eaten here has been amazing! It was so good that I came back within one week again for the exact same foods.Koobideh wrap was wonderful and filling. I was even able to save my second Koobideh wrap for the next day. Delicious white sauce for my Koobideh wrap. Good amount of salad with delicious house dressing.My large basket of Sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. Chicken Shawarma was thoroughly marinated and juicy. The chicken Shawarma skewer plate came with a large amount of rice and salad. Lots of chicken on that one skewer.Excellent vegetarian (likely vegan ) grape leaves. The great leaves were not soggy and were not tough. Not too sour.On top of the yummy food, the waitress was friendly.

If you crave a old school Persian style fast food this is the best place to go in Tustin cozy corner. They serve Hookah as well, which is another reason you might crave to go on week nights.You are more than welcome to bring your own game boards or playing card and have game night in there with your friend.We always sit outside even in cold nights! They have lots of heaters ,you feel warm dont worry;)
