AL-SANABEL BAKERY 2 User Reviews
816 S. Brookhurst Blvd. Bakery, Middle Eastern, Pizza, Vegetarian $ Anaheim  
The bakery makes only two dishes: pita sandwiches and sphiha. Within this simplicity, though, lies culinary greatness. More than half of the sphihas are strictly veggie affairs, but not the expected roughage-heavy dishes. Instead, the main ingredients are spices—and not the spicy kind.... More >>
Alerto's Mexican Food Write a Review
15681 Brookhurst St. Mexican $ Westminster  
Some advice for visiting Alerto’s: Get a half-order of carne asada nachos, not the full order. The only difference between the two is the price. Both have the same amount of freshly fried chips smothered in cheese, beans, tender cubes of steak, pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. Only... More >>
Angelo's Write a Review
511 S. State College Blvd. American, Burgers $$ Anaheim  
I defy anyone to find a finer summer Friday night than the kind you get at Angelo's: a burger-fries-and-Coke combo for 6 bucks, a girl/boy by your side, nameless kids chucking pickles at one another, buxom waitresses skating without pause, and the half-Latino, half-white crowd communally willing... More >>
Avanti Cafe Write a Review
259 E. 17th St. Fusion, Vegetarian $$ Costa Mesa  
While the Avanti menu is strictly vegetarian, with faux meats and cheese, the steak-and-potatoes crowd will hardly notice or care. Every entrée, appetizer and dessert springs with flavor and heftiness. Is there anything more mainstream than a morning cup of joe washing down crunchy waffles? More >>
Bangkok Taste Write a Review
2737 N. Grand Ave. Thai $$ Santa Ana  
Thong Johnson, owner of Bangkok Taste, knows how to pack heat into her torrid Thai creations, like her luscious green curry and her garlic shrimp; no other Thai place I know of makes its own ice cream like Johnson's does. More >>
BÁNH MÌ CHO CU Write a Review
14520 Magnolia St., Ste. B Sandwiches, Vietnamese $ Westminster  
You’re tolerating brusque customer service here for the 10 choices of bánh mì, the foot-long sandwich that is one of the most delicious robberies in the gustatory world at $1.50 per stickup. Barbecue pork is charred to a ruddy crispness, yet it’s moist. Meatballs are... More >>
Blake's Place 2 User Reviews
2905 E. Miraloma, Ste. 3 $$ Anaheim  
Start doing the math and you conclude that every barbecue place you've gone before Blake's has overcharged you. But apart from the reasonable rates, you marvel at how they've managed to make it look so easy. The food is served on Styrofoam plates; drinks are self-poured from a soda machine. This... More >>
The Boiling Crab 1 User Reviews
13892 Brookhurst St. Seafood $$ Garden Grove  
They have two types of crab, but their specialty is crawfish, boiled in a large plastic bag full of Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic butter, or a combination of all three. It comes to your paper-bedecked table in a pail, and you go to work, prying open the heads and sucking out the innards... More >>
CAFÉ HIRO Write a Review
10509 Valley View St. Fusion, Japanese $$$ Cypress  
Hiro's exquisite entrées—a fantastic fusion of Japanese, Italian, French and American—ensure a steady stream of suitors; ridiculously cheap prices guarantee many rendezvous. And the ahi poke appetizer special—the buttery fish seared, warm and salty on the outside and... More >>
CALIFORNIA FISH GRILL Write a Review
10569 Valley View St. American, Seafood $$ Cypress  
California Fish Grill is one of those middle-class mini-chains common to Orange County—fancier than Knowlwood or Natraj but a step below Sage or the Daily Grill. The massive charbroiled fillets feature deep grill marks, and shine thanks to a powerful garlic-butter coating. Everyone should... More >>
CALIFORNIA FISH GRILL Write a Review
5675 E. La Palma Ave. American, Seafood $$ Anaheim  
California Fish Grill is one of those middle-class mini-chains common to Orange County—fancier than Knowlwood or Natraj but a step below Sage or the Daily Grill. The massive charbroiled fillets feature deep grill marks, and shine thanks to a powerful garlic-butter coating. All should also... More >>
California Fish Grill Write a Review
3988 Barranca Pkwy., Ste. B American, Seafood $$$ Irvine  
California Fish Grill is one of those middle-class mini-chains common to Orange County—fancier than Knowlwood or Natraj but a step below Sage or the Daily Grill. The massive charbroiled fillets feature deep grill marks, and shine thanks to a powerful garlic-butter coating. All should also... More >>
Com Tam Tran Quy Cap Write a Review
16175 Harbor Blvd. Vietnamese $$ Fountain Valley  
As its name correctly implies, Com Tam Tran Quy Cap's specializes in com tam—plates literally built from the ground up with broken rice; the stubby, shattered rejects of the threshing process which was traditionally relegated as food for the peasant class. Now it's a delicacy and for good... More >>
Crow Bar and Kitchen 4 User Reviews
2325 E. Pacific Coast Hwy. American $$$ Corona Del Mar  
The Crowbar and Kitchen is the kind of place OC's been missing. Sure, we've got fine dining up and down our coasts; great Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, and Mexican inland. But there's never been anything quite like chef Scott Brendan's new venture—a down-to-earth eatery which eschews... More >>
Dosa Place Write a Review
13812 Red Hill Ave. Indian, Pakistani $$ Tustin  
There are so many dosas at Dosa Place—dosas crammed with goat, stuffed with cheese, oozing with curried potatoes—you’ll probably overlook the rest of the platters. Don’t. Once in a while, scan the South India portion of the menu and devote a lunch to the idli, two rice-flour... More >>
EL CHINACO Write a Review
560 W. 19th St. Mexican $ Costa Mesa  
Owner Mirna Burciago made a name for herself by publicly opposing Costa Mesa mayor Allan Mansoor's efforts to turn his city's police department into a mini-migra and selling one-dollar Minutemen tacos. But she's more comfortable patting out great pupusas, which distance themselves from the... More >>
EL FORTÍN 1 User Reviews
700 E. Commonwealth Ave. $$ Fullerton  
In a country in which each state has its unique version of the curry-like mole, Oaxaca is king, and El Fortín offers four stunning varieties of the royal family. I won’t even bother describing the house mole, as my tongue cannot possibly articulate this creation—only eat. More >>
EL FORTÍN Write a Review
10444 Dale Ave. $$ Stanton

Go Goo Ryeo Write a Review
8851 Garden Grove Blvd. Asian $$$$ Garden Grove  
The best part about Go Goo Ryeo is that it’s a do-it-yourself Korean BBQ joint where everything is done for you. But to experience the full splendor of the service, come on a Friday, or better yet, a weekday, during which the ratio of restaurant staff to diners will be stacked in your... More >>
HONDA-YA Write a Review
556 El Camino Real Japanese $$$ Tustin  
This Tustin Japanese joint continues to be a county Chowhound phenomenon more than a decade after its opening, one of the precious few Orange County restaurants with a daily past-midnight closing time and a 150-plus-item menu that necessitates hours-long pilgrimages just to dent it. Per the... More >>
KAPPO SUZUMARU Write a Review
17292 McFadden Ave., Ste. B Japanese $$$ Tustin  
Small though it is, Kappo Suzumaru is really two restaurants—a fast-paced sushi bar with comforting (California) and confounding (fermented soy bean?) rolls, and a leisurely main dining room separated by paper lanterns and banners stitched with slogans in katakana and kanji script. At some... More >>
King Lobster Palace 1 User Reviews
2045 N. Tustin St. Seafood $$ Orange  
King Lobster Palace is from the same mold as those eateries that seem to exist on every corner of every neighborhood in the SGV. Groups of families gather around tables with lazy Susans crammed with dishes. Frail-looking Chinese grannies, tykes barely old enough to chew and everybody in between... More >>
Las Brisas de Apatzingan Write a Review
1524 S. FLOWER ST. Mexican $ Santa Ana  
To the untrained eye (both gabacho and not), Las Brisas will seem like any other Mexican place: small; in a bad neighborhood; enchiladas, chimichangas and quesadillas on the menu and Jarritos in the fridge. But look at the menu again. Figure out which Spanish words have yet to become part of... More >>
Marche Moderne Write a Review
3333 Bristol Street, #3001 French $$$ Costa Mesa  
Even if it weren’t in the toniest part of South Coast Plaza (above Tiffany’s), Marche Moderne would still be one of the best French restaurants in the county. Impeccable service by actual Frenchmen, a gorgeous patio with potted fruit trees, and a food tour de France prepared by... More >>
Mariscos Licenciado #2 Write a Review
1052 N. State College Mexican $$ Anaheim  
Mariscos Licenciado #2—the first is in Riverside County—sells Sinaloan seafood but lies landlocked in the same decaying commercial pocket JC Fandango calls paradise. Nevertheless, a coastal breeze flows through the simple eatery. It starts somewhere in Mazatlán, sweeps past the... More >>
