    This place is AWESOME. Everything about it was perfect. Food was delicious and varied. Cocktail program is one of the best I've seen in OC. Billy was our server and was engaging and helpful with everything and the owner came out to greet everyone as well. The listening bar/vinyl vibe absolutely works and was executed perfectly. We dined there on Sunday and have already made two plans to come back. Support this restaurant!

    We had a wonderful Mother’s Day dinner. We made reservations outside but they offered a lively inside table. The service was just the right tempo. We ordered drinks and decided to share a few appetizers. I think won tons and green beans perfectly done! Our dinners were delicious. I had the steak sandwich and it was the best I’ve had in a long time! And the fries are so crispy! We shared a few desserts. I’d like to name but you won’t regret having a few bites! Will definitely be back!

    What a great find. Authentic charm and atmosphere paired with excellent food and drinks. This was our first visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed discovering it. What makes the experience even more special is the history and the founder’s story dating back to 1947. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a dining experience with genuine personality, character, and flair.

    Our Garlic Noodles were quite tasty. The Kimchi Fried Rice was a little bland so we requested soy sauce which amped it up! My Reposado and Tamarind cocktail with Tajin rim was quite refreshing and our bartender/server was a delight.
