Phlight

★★★★☆ 4.2 (937) • $$

"Great place! Food and drinks were amazing! We ordered appetizers and a round of both red and white sangrias and neither disappointed. There is a parking structure directly across the street that is free but parking spaces are fairly narrow. Otherwise, you will need to find street parking nearby."

Pho Lantern Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (954) • $$

"Perfect in every way. Amazing taste, portions big enough for left overs. Love the fresh shrimp spring rolls, the fried egg roles, wonton soup, filet mignon pho and shrimp fried rice! The perfect go to for a Sunday night in at home!"

HQ Gastropub - Huntington Beach

★★★★☆ 4 (933) • $$

"This bar and restaurant was a perfect place to dine, drink, mingle with friends & family, and watch the game. Many screens to view at various angles, generous serving portions, and friendly servers. Only expected complaint from two of the kids in our party was loudness due to the game."

Board & Brew - San Clemente

★★★★☆ 4.4 (730) • $$

"Mathew's the best!!! Best sandwiches and beer! Can't wait for my next turkey sub and a pint!"

Hammer Burger

★★★★★ 4.6 (608) • $$

"Hammer Burger is one of my favorite smash burger spots, and the UNLIMITED house-made sauces are a game-changer! They have an amazing selection, but the garlic sauce is the best--so, so good on both the burger and fries.I always get the Original Burger and the Hammer Fries with the grilled onions well-done for extra caramelized goodness. The staff is super chill and friendly. Pro tip: Park in the 4th Street structure (it's usually free) and check out their 20% off happy hour.Highly recommend stopping by for a delicious smash burger and perfectly crispy fries!"

Mamón

★★★★★ 4.6 (590) • $$

"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."

Seasurf Fish

★★★★☆ 4.2 (699) • $$

"As a seafood lover I'm so happy I finally tried this place! We ordered the Poke Nachos and I had a bacon Michelada and a shrimp chimichurri burrito. My husband ordered a carne asada burrito. The burritos were huge and were really good. Such a good value for the price! We shared the poke nachos and they were delicious ! I love the variety of the menu here! There is something for everyone. My bacon Michelada was SO TASTY! Inside it's not super fancy but it has a unique set up and gives off almost a beachy chill vibe in a way. This would be a great place to grab a little bite to eat and hang out at after with drinks. The service here was really good. All the employees were friendly and inviting. We were a huge fan of Seasurf and are already talking about coming back."

Farolito of Fullerton

★★★★☆ 3.7 (650) • $$

"Farolito of Fullerton is a small Mexican restaurant in downtown Fullerton. It may be a little hard to find because the entrance is located in an indoor hallway. Once you find it, you will find that this place is a true gem! This restaurant's interior is nothing fancy, has about 10-15 tables or so. However, it is the service and delicious food that had us coming back! The items I recommend getting are the enchiladas, tropical salad, tostada salad, and the Mexican pizzas! They also have food specials throughout the week! They also have a full bar with draft beers. Come check out this place if you're in the mood for Mexican food and drinks, you won't be disappointed!"

Taco Rosa

★★★★☆ 3.7 (565) • $$

"I have been coming here with my family for years! I'm not sure why people are complaining because the service is always top notch and the food is consistent and spot on. My only suggestion to get more traffic during happy hour is to make the HH prices more HH friendly. $15 for chicken nachos isn't really that great of a deal and some of the other prices were a bit high too. Either way, will be back again and again."

Niku Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (376) • $$$

"The quality of fish was phenomenal. You would never believe this is AYCE. My family is always on the search for sushi, whether it is AYCE or not. This had become our favorite place that I will definitely pay Al La carte for . Not to mention service was impeccable. They were so thorough, patient and considerate of our party of 16."

Cancun Fresh Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (434) • $

"I was craving cheese enchiladas, so I came here, and I was not disappointed... Very tasty. Fun little hang out and great customer service."

Board & Brew - Laguna Niguel

★★★★☆ 4.1 (327) • $

"Very large sandwiches with good service. They are friendly and personable. And, the food is great. Highly recommended local salad and sandwich place.Kimberly and Hunter provide top notch service!"

Baja Fish Tacos

★★★★☆ 3.9 (342) • $$

"Very nice experience. It doesn't matter that it was packed. The service we received was fast. They have indoor and outdoor tables, tvs if you want to watch it. They have beers, water, and sodas to drink. Several options to choose from, affordable prices. Average noise, you can talk and hear clearly. Is good to go individually or groups."

TJ's Cafe Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (232) • $$

"Let's BRUNCH!The Brunch Burger is a mouthwatering masterpiece that will definitely keep you coming back again and again!With a sizzling, handcrafted, juicy beef patty cooked to perfection, smothered in a chipotle aioli and topped with grilled onions & peppers, crispy bacon, tomato, cheese, lettuce and a sunny-side-up egg, oozing with golden yolk goodness.Each bite was an explosion of flavor! Wonderful customer service! Love the Fall/el Día de los Muertos decor!"

Avatar Coffee Roasters

★★★★☆ 4.1 (302) • $$

"SUCH a beautiful cafe with lots of seating, outlets, and great interior design but oh my god is the parking a nightmare lol. I've now been twice, and both times I wasn't able to find parking right away-- so I'd give up and go to Hidden House Coffee instead and then come back to Avatar to see if there's parking. As some other reviews mention, it's definitely possible to park at the nearby Tustin Legacy-- but it is a decent walk away. Other than the parking situation, it's great. Lots of (healthy) food options and the coffee is great. 90-minute limit on the wifi, which is kind of a bummer. But as a study location, it's nice. Just not as convenient as Wall Writers, for example."

OC Wine Mart & Deli

★★★★★ 4.5 (231) • $$

"First time trying their BTS breakfast burrito! Burrito was great - all the ingredients tasted clean, light, and lightly seasoned. The red salsa had a slight kick but other than that, not much flavor. Service was quick and attentive! Plenty of parking. I visited late on a Sunday morning and it was quiet inside except for the sounds of the television playing. Area was clean and organized with some indoor seating and plenty of outdoor seating. Will definitely come back!"

All-American Brew Works

★★★★★ 4.7 (197) • $$

"One the best things about moving to our new office here is this awesome place. They have some awesome sandwiches along with a great selection of craft beers! My favorite being F-14 Tomcat, the best turkey club I have ever had. Lucky me I can just walk here anytime and not only enjoy their sandwiches for lunch, but enjoy trying their beers anytime, all the time! Even though I always take my sandwiches to the office, the service has always been great with a big smile every time. This is a Veteran owned establishment that know what they are doing. Haven't tried their once in awhile bbq's but looking forward to it. If you're in Anaheim hills or Yorba and looking for a great sandwich and craft beer place, I highly recommend this place."

Bread Basket

"Annual lunch at our favorite sandwich shop in Tustin. Another round of wonderful sandwiches and impeccable service. Love their service and staff!"

Hanshin Pocha

★★★★☆ 4.3 (207) • $$

"I am a huge Hanshin pocha fan, great place for late night food and pretty easy to get a table for a big group on a weekend if you join the waitlist before you get there:)"

El Sabroso Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (211) • $

"In the neighborhood and really wanted Mexican food on my way home from the nearby cigar lounge. Passed this restaurant many times, so decided to give it a try. Very clean interior with lots of tables, classic mexican restaurant decor. It was a Sunday morning so there were many football games on the TVs spread throughout the restaurant. The restaurant was full, and based on the energy seemed to be a very good local joint. Service was very quick, and as other reviewers noted, first thing to notice is how good the chips and salsa were. The menu had all your classic menu items, and i decided to go with a crispy taco, enchilad, chile relleno combo. All were prepared to perfection, temperature was spot on, flavors were what what was expected, and portion size wiull make sure you are full when you leave.Service was attentive, and they made sure my water, chips & salas were always tended to.Overall another solid Mexican restaurant and worth a visit if you are in the area."

Perry's Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (258) • $

"If you're looking for a pizza place that stands out not just for its food but also for its exceptional customer service, this is a top choice. The staff, specifically Stephanie, was friendly, attentive, and professional and went above and beyond. She made the visit enjoyable from start to finish. She greeted us warmly, ensured our needs were met, and went out of her way to accommodate any request. She is one of those rare employees that all restaurants should have. Stephanie, you were the best waitress I have ever had. The pizza itself is delicious, with a perfect balance of fresh ingredients and flavorful toppings. Overall, Perry's combines great food with a genuinely pleasant dining experience."

Three Roots Mexican Cocina

★★★★☆ 3.8 (167) • $$

"Olive Gardens was replaced by 3 roots. They were extremely short staffed. The bathrooms were hideous. I waited for over two hours to see if anyone will clean it up and they left it as is. I thought they just opened but I was told that they have been in business for over 2 years. There are wires hanging everywhere and the chairs look warn and some chairs were ripped. The portions were very small for the price. Everything was very very salty. I drank a lot of water to kill the saltiness. I was told that they have dancing after 8:30 pm. They didn't have enough servers and people were waiting for their food. I heard a lot of I'm sorry for the wait and some people who wanted to pay had no one to give money to. Please clean the bathrooms, hire more people to cook and serve. Service wasn't horrible but if it's like this for much longer they will have a difficult time keeping customers."

Curry Pizza House Tustin

★★★★☆ 4.1 (130)

"I've been intrigued by this place as I thought pizza and curry together is an interesting concept. Ordered takeout using the online portal on a Friday night and the order was ready in ~20 mins. Got the half and half pizza with Aloo Chaat and curry chicken masala - both were flavorful but I preferred the curry chicken one as the Aloo one tasted a bit too peppery. The pizza dough was a little dense - would have preferred it to be more airy, but it might be tough to hold up all the topping they put on.We also tried the tandoori wings which were nicely marinated and a little crunchy on the outside."

Anna's Joint

★★★★★ 4.5 (71) • $$

"It was 99 degrees in Long Beach today so I wiped down my counter and closed my kitchen for the day. I walked to Anna's with the perfect cold sandwich in mind. I've been inside this sweet little deli/liquor before but never tried the sandwiches so I was excited to be there. I ordered the De Rossi, it's a cold cut sandwich made to order. They have plenty of seating if you feel like dining in or outside facing Pine Ave. The sandwich was exactly what I day dreamed about and met all of my expectations. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. I forgot about the heat for a few minutes and just enjoyed the moment with my dog (they have dog treats here and are dog friendly!) Can't wait to go back and try something else from the menu!"

On The Hook

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Service was good, food was even better. Loved the on the hooked wings for happy hour! Fried fish tacos were chef kiss good! Not pictured is the oyster I devoured."

Rock & Brews - Tustin

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"I went with my parents ti this place like a month ago and we really love the food and the beer, definitely I recommend many things on the menu; food is fresh, properly cooked, nice presentation and delicious, they also have a big selection of beers. Place is huge, it has many accommodations for different needs and the backyard also will be a good option during any time of the year, i really love that is for people all ages in case you need yo come with kids. I will love to add, the staff looked a little tired though, not our server but the other people who assisted us didn't have a friendly actitud specially the host, i hope they take care of that, thank you."

Grill 'Em All

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"Damn, that's a good burger. The fries too, next level. Location is fun, right on the beach facing Naples. I got the immortal burger with blue cheese and it exceeded my expectations. Not just blue cheese crumbles but a buttery blue cheese sauce was a delicious surprise and I will be back for this burger."

H.B. Pita Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"Love getting catered food from here. Value is awesome to feed my family of 17 and a party of 50 or more. Call ahead and they'll prepare everything. You can order and eat there since there are seats but I love to enjoy their fresh food in the comfort of my home."

Chihuahua Cerveza

★★★★★ 4.6 • $$

"Checked out Chihuahua Cerveza tonight to watch UFC 312! Great place to have food, watch sporting events and plenty amount of screens! Service is great, very attentive."

Cal Shabu - Costa Mesa

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$$

"Wanted shabu for dinner on a cold night. My boyfriend and I decided to try this place. It's located close to the camp in Costa Mesa in a small shopping center. Most of the businesses in the shopping center were closed at this time so we almost missed it at first. It was very busy on a Saturday night. We joined the Yelp waitlist from home and still had to wait after we arrived and even for a while after our expected seating window. I would recommend getting on Yelp waitlist as soon as possible during busy hours or checking the wait in advance.Once seated everything else was very quick. Orders were started immediately. I believe the manager or owner was assisting us, but I am not sure (I didn't catch his name). He was super friendly and took the time to explain things and made recommendations. It seemed like he knew many of the customers and took the time to greet and speak with many people eating. I really appreciated that he took the time to greet so many people and also explain things to us. We both got 1/2 spicy miso and 1/2 tonkotsu broth with our proteins of choice. The broth was flavorful and had a little kick, but was not overly spicy - I would order it the same way again. The dipping sauces were both delicious. I was so hungry I forgot to take pics! Overall, it was perfect for what we were craving and we enjoyed our experience. Looking forward to returning in the future!"

★★★★☆ 3.7 • $$

"This is our first time here in wood ranch in irvine the service is very fast and arianna is the best server shes very attentive and sweet definitely we're coming back the chips and the dip our super delicious and the tri tip our tummy is very happy"

Casa De Pancho Mexican Grill & Cantina

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"It really depends on what you want:1. A large party that wants to drink and have fun2. Good foodThis place is the former. It can seat large parties and will shower you with drinks in a setting that's decorated with Ikea's finest. If you're looking for decent Tex Mex, then Taco Bell can serve you better."
