Convenient if you have an early morning CHOC appointment, especially if you're walking, but regardless, a terrific location on the ground level, clean, friendly service, inexpensive, and great tasting burritos! read more

Tasty comfort classics with a modern spin. Got an old country vibe with the interior design and its order and self seat once you come in. We ordered the half fried chicken. It came with 6 pieces and two big sides so perfect to share. The batter was lite and crispy though chicken was a tiny bit overcooked. Sides were good too. I'd recommend putting some extra salt or seasoning as it was on the lighter side. Order took a little long to come out but staff were friendly. The restaurant was located in a business plaza and plenty of parking but it was kind of confusing figuring out where the entrance was. I'd recommend it, the chicken was tasty! read more

Amarith Cafe - Fried Chicken - Cafes Near Me - Orange, California

Perfect spot for brunch!! Café has free seating (I'd recommend keeping someone at your table so it doesn't get taken) and you order at the counter. : * Sunrise Special -- choice of protein, eggs, toast, and potatoes. Savory and filling. * Pancake Special -- a nice mix of sweet and savory. : * Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice - bright, refreshing, and the perfect breakfast pairing. Food can take a bit of a wait, but it's worth it once it arrives. The interior is warm and inviting. The chandeliers add a really nice touch. Plus, there's plenty of parking. read more

Everything in Amarith is made from scratch. The food was incredibly good. I had the soup and half sandwich, clam chowder (F,S,S) and a half baguette Cambodian pickled veg and turkey sandwich--S0 GOOD! The Chowder was the best I've had in many years, redskin potatoes, beautifully flavored! Seasoning perfect. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Lovely decor--wood for the most part. Enrique, one of the servers was helpful and informative. He gets five stars, too. read more

Amarith Cafe - Lettuce-wrapped fish tacos - Cafes Near Me - Orange, California

This place was a disappointment. I met a couple of girl friends here and we each drove about 30 minutes to get here. In the Yelp pictures it just looks much nicer than in reality, maybe some pictures are from a different Amarith Cafe? Food was served on paper plates, pastry display was completely empty, very lackluster experience. My expectations were clearly too high. read more

Hidden in a large U.S bank building, you would never expect a hidden cafe that can whip up some delicious grub. Their mission is to give patrons a fresh and wholesome meal without all the nasty preservatives and artificial additives and they have their dishes to back it up. From soup, sandwiches, pasta, and tacos, they have a variety of cuisines all in one place. I placed an order for a pick-up for lunch since I was craving some fish tacos. Why did I choose to eat here and not at some taqueria, you might ask? Well, it's because I stumbled upon this dish once upon a time, and well, you know what happened after that. I'd place an order for lunch and would HIGHLY recommend that anyone who is in a rush always call in prior to arriving. Otherwise, you might have to run into their crazy lunch rush because this place can get bombarded by orders between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. I came by and picked up my order. When I opened their white square to-go box, I saw three large fish tacos tucked in between flour tortillas. These fried fish fillets were on a bed of shredded cabbage, garnished with pico de gallo, a thin slice of ripe avocados, shredded cheddar cheese, oozing sour cream, sprinkled paprika, and a lemon wedge for that splash of tang. It's quite a colorful scene to feast your eyes upon. The few things I loved about these tacos are that the fish was deliciously seasoned and that the size of the fish was almost the length of the tortillas. Plus, it's made to order, so you can taste the love behind every bite. The smorgasbord of vegetables was fresh and tasty, and the tortillas held all the goodness perfectly. Every bite I bit into was consistently as scrumptious as the first bite. The perfect layer of ingredients assembled for that sweet, savory, tangy, and crunchy is a bomb.com Taco! [Full Disclaimer] They do not offer this every day on their menu, so make sure to call in to see if they are serving it, or you'd have to find out the hard way. read more

Amarith Cafe - Fish Tacos - Cafes Near Me - Orange, California

Very tasty place, their food menu is big aswell their coffee flavors, the food was really good we all try many things from the menu, but something that we all love were the chilaquiles with stake, very tasty, the avocado toast was full of avocado that my mom even share avocado with the rest of us, chicken and waffles was also a great option and very big that probably is enough for 2. Actually the place its a great option for any time of the day even for a coffee in the afternoon they have a very good options for dessert, staff was kind of busy I guess but the lady who was serving the food she was amazing and very friendly. This place is this type of restaurants that your go order And pay for what you order and then they bring everything to your table, please if you go don't forget to tip them, our server was very friendly, thankyou. read more

Major lessons learned - DO NOT plaxe your order online. No two platforms offer consistent menus or options and, whichever you do use, they'll probably cancel your order because they don't have or can't make what you want. It can get super busy and, while conceptually it can sound really good, the execution of the food falls flat for me. The annoying parking and not getting your order as you had expected it, makes it difficult to add this to my lunch rotation. My friend's order was completely botched. She called to let them know and request a refund because she couldn't eat the kind of bread they put it on. She never got that refund despite assurances that they would credit it back. read more

My positive impression for this group of cafes is mainly for the pies. This is the third and smallest location and I can't say the experience changed my perception of the restaurants. The other cafes feel more like casual restaurants and this one is definitely a cafeteria and it seems to be popular with the office staff in the area. There was no air conditioning on a 92 degree day and the ice machine broke down. The pozole was barely warm (maybe it's a good thing) and the fish tacos fell apart when you tried to eat them. The lady at the counter was energetic and cheerful though. Overall this was an interestingly sweltering experience. read more

The Italian sandwich at Amarith changed my life. Ordered online, pick up was smooth. Also some seating indoor and outdoor. Located in a business building so parking is tight -- but so worth it!!!! read more

I typically order an ultimate amarith wrap which comes with a spinach wrap. This time it came on a regular tortilla poorly folded like a burrito, not even cut in half to look presentable. disappointed . Staff, friendly as normal, and the quality of food is fresh next time I guess I need to be more specific read more

Got the ultimate Amarith sandwich. Swapped the bread for toasted sourdough. Requested less meat and more veggies + pickles. It was the best sandwich ever! So freaking tasty and delightful. Not only will you be full and happily satisfied, you will be thinking, "I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu." Everything was so fresh. Place is so clean. Service is kind, thoughtful and efficient! read more

All menu items are excellent. I have tried quite a few. Fish Taco Friday is my favorite. Breakfast is also a treat, you cant go wrong with anything on menu. read more

I really enjoy coming down to grab a bite from this place. The employees are very kind and provide great service. I typically order online. Their sandwiches are huge (even the half size) and I really like the tuna. Check them out! read more

Use to come here once a week now it's down to once every few weeks for a pastry item or tea... The prices have gone up and the menu got smaller.... and unfortunately the service got significantly slower so you really have to give yourself plenty of time. I would just call in if possible and give plenty of time for pickup. The pros are; the quality of ingredients is good. I do feel like you get a slightly healthier meal option and you're supporting a small business. There is quite a few options of items for convenience. Only request is bring back the noodle dishes! read more

I used to go here before Covid, and she went back again while I was in ER. My husband picked up the cheesesteak sandwich and it was good. I wish I lived closer so I could go more. read more

This is a great local place to eat. Staff are very friendly and patient. This place is very popular, most likely with the workers in the building and adjacent businesses. Came here with my coworkers for the first time. Felt so bad because I felt like we overwhelmed them with our order for 8 people during lunch hour. But they were so great, patient, and the food came out so good! We really enjoyed our team lunch there. We didn't realize we had to pay for parking in the lot next to them. I think we spent $9 to park there. But this shouldn't deter you from this place. Really enjoyed the staff. So sweet and accommodating. The food was very delicious- we ordered various things like salads, sandwiches, and burgers and fries. All were very good. Highly recommend. read more

Orange Location: Cafeteria style restaurant where you order, sit, then get your meal. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The cafe is on the corner of Main and La Veta in Orange. It is inside of one of the white towers that houses the Union Bank. Across the street from the CVS is the front entrance that has the double doors with the Orange County Assessor business sign and US Bank ATM machines. Once you pass the double doors, you will see the restaurant to the right side of the business courtyard. It is open from Monday through Friday - 7am to 4pm.The cafe does not offer parking validation. While in front of the cafe, there is an underground parking structure to the right which is expensive and you have to pay every 15 minutes. The cafe plays famous standard and soft rock tunes from 1950s to 1970s. They have one wall mount screen by the cash register that reflects their Tuesday Specials etc. Female cashier was nice. I received my fish taco in a paper container. Perhaps the cashier was not sure if I was dining in or taking it out. For being a first time customer, I received a free cookie! They have an assorted range of breakfash and lunch entrees, assorted hot and cold coffee drinks including Rose Latte, baked cookies and muffins, and salads. The only soda brand that they serve is Stubborn Soda fountain drinks. Baked pies are only available at the Garden Grove location. The other Amarith locations are in Corona Del Mar, Garden Grove, and Fountain Valley but their menus differ between each location. Website is www.amarithfarmhouse.com/bakehouse read more

Very good burrito steak and shrimp are the best combo for burrito! Excellent taste! Nice clean environment

I have so much love for this hidden gem... literally! This cafe is hidden at the inner courtyard of huge building, but once you find them, you'll want to keep going back. Trust me! I've dined in (pre-pandemic ofc), taken items to-go, and ordered catering NUMEROUS times from this place (breakfast and lunch) and they are the ABSOLUTE best! Everyone here is really sweet, kind, and very accommodating to what you need. Their service is always top notch! Okay so for my favorites, I have A LOT so bear with me... soup: tomato bisque, clam chowder salads: cobb & blue, asian chicken breakfast: the lumberjack burrito or the parisian sandwich (pick your vibe lol) lunch sandwiches: turkey bacon avocado, BLT+Avocado, unforgettable cheesesteak, california roast beef other: fish tacos, salmon burrito bowl TIP: Order online! You will still need to get out of your car to pick it up, but at least it'll be ready to go for you when you do! And if you're not sure what the soup of day is, just call & ask. Oh! They also have a ready-made food section with salads, sandwiches, teas, etc. so if you didn't order online and you're just a grab-and-go kind of person, they have something for you too! read more

Great place We had a breakfast there and was the best Lady on the cashier is very helpful read more

I love the people here. Everyone is super friendly and you really can't go wrong with anything here. I usually get the ultimate amarith and it is a solid sandwich. The bread is not dry and the sandwich is complimented with the Dijon mustard that they add. I also enjoy the cookie which is the perfect level of sweetness and is chewy. Overall would come by for lunch and it is a bit in a hidden location. One of my go to for lunch would recommend ordering online if you in a rush read more

Service so so. No public restrooms. No parking validation despite what was noted on yelp. Would not recommend driving to eat here. If you happen to be in the complex then ok. read more

I have been frequenting Amarith quite a bit for the past month and I'm starting to think I have an obsession with their ultimate Amarith Sandwich! That has been my go-to order as of late, and I typically sub out the Dijon for chipotle aioli and lightly toast it. I also order here quite a bit for my work friends and they seem to love the BLT-A, tuna melt, toasty Italian & Mary's Chicken Club! I also really enjoy their Cesar salad! There is ample seating indoors as well as outside on their patio. It's in a nice and comfortable area nestled between the US bank building and a few offices. I also find that their service is always great and quick! I like to order ahead online and pick-up in person. My food is always ready and on time. I just found out they also have a location in Corona Del Mar, so I'm excited to visit that location as well. Overall, I have only had great experiences here with quality food! read more

The AC never works, the workers look sweaty and I can imagine how the workers look in the kitchen (sweating while handling food) , food on showcase shows mold on fruits, and tuna they got on the shelve is watery. The food is OKAY, no longer buy lattes since I don't know if it will come out good or bad. Used to be really good, now since they opened other locations is no longer the same. We have stopped buying there as much as we used too because of the big changes we have been seeing. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant, the little hole in the wall that it is has amazing food, and even better service

Online ordering and payment is great but still took kinda long to get our food. But it was delicious. Their clam chowder was FULL of clams. Maybe bc we got the last bowl so they were at the bottom of the pot? Anyhow so good. Their beet salad was super fresh. And their sandwich was also really delicious and fresh. They have outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor dining had umbrellas so even though it was sunny it was lovely. And validated parking in the covered lot with the bank. We saw a wild bunny in the grass next to the seating area. Made it such a delightful experience. read more

This is the second time I've come to the orange location to order a Cesar salad only to be told that they are no longer serving salads for the day and I can only have what's on the side. Both times I've come it's been 2pm...no where near closing. It's disappointing when you're craving something and told they cannot serve it read more

Nice little cafe in a business complex. Their menu is on the smaller side but they certainly have options. Had their lumberjack burrito and it was quite good. The coffee was decent as well but nothing to write home about. It is worth checking out though. read more

Let me start by saying that I'm not a paid spokesman (maybe one day ). Rather, I've just grown to LOVE Amarith. I work near their Orange location, so I frequently walk there for my lunch break. This cafe is truly a hidden gem, tucked away underneath a gigantic building with a rather unassuming storefront. What matters though, like with most things, is what's on the inside. The interior is cozy and they make the most of their limited space. There's a nice little outdoor seating area to catch some sun, with a few tables indoors as well. With all that said, let's get into what you're reading this for: the food and the service as this is where they truly excel. They are as friendly and accommodating as you can get here, particularly Sabrina and Violeta so big shoutout to them. Their menu is vast, but don't let that deter you! I've tried over a dozen different items on their menu and every time I am BLOWN AWAY with just how delicious every dish turns out. The preparation is consistent with every meal being made to order. They use quality ingredients and the menu items are reasonably priced. I get excited to try something new every time I go as a result. Two standouts for me were their 'Unforgettable Cheesesteak' and their version of a 'Tuna Melt'...my mouth is watering just typing this review. Anyway, I could go on but you get the point, this place is legit and well worth a visit! Go check them out, you might even catch me there in my scrubs so say hi! read more

This Salmon Bowl was awesomely delicious! The flavors blend well together from the red rice to the grilled Salmon cutlets, guacamole, sauces, and slices of Jalapeños. The serving size was just right. Service is always friendly and timely. Oh I have also had their muffins which moist and fresh. Their coffees are organic. They offer a variety of hot and cold drinks. My favorite is the regular organic coffee and the new Ube Latte. Another fave is the Parisian breakfast sandwich- crispy bacon and egg with arugula in a croissant. There's quite a variety on their menu I still have to check out. Parking is limited if you don't work in the building, so ordering ahead is recommended. The Cafe is very clean. Happy Eats! read more

Unfortunately, because my orders have been incorrect on more than one occasion I am only giving 3 stars. How you can mess up a grilled cheese is beyond me but it has happened or a simple request of adding spinach and the spinach wasn't added but I got charged extra, I didn't bother returning it because I was too frustrated and I only get a 30 minute lunch break. Also, I don't understand why after a year the air conditioning is still not working. I feel bad for the employees that have to work in that hot environment, its been a extremely hot summer so far and I would think it would be a health hazard for the employees (example:heat stroke). The owners should be ashamed that the air conditioning problem hasn't bery resolved but all these businesses seem to care about is MONEY and so what if the employees are uncomfortable. I will complement them on the desserts and pastries they have. The banana cream pie it absolutely delicious! read more

Ordered the Ultimate Amarith sandwich and it was disgusting. The bread was soggy and there was no bean sprouts in it at all! That was the only reason I ordered this in the first place. Oh and it had a little piece of lettuce and it was wilted.. I had to remove it from the actual sandwich.. and the combo came with fries and they were all literally burned. Like really. I would have been better off just ordering from Farmer Boys! SMH. I don't know how they pride themselves on freshness when everything was gross. Even the soda was flat. Just ridiculous.. NEVER AGAIN.. thank you for taking my money for food that was Disgusting. I even threw it away. Zero stars!! read more

Honestly the first time I came here it was pretty good, but after today's experience I will not be returning..I came to amarith cafe on my day off, since they are normally closed on the weekends at this location I was eager to try something new on the Menu, upon arrival i was told everything I wanted was from their fountain valley location menu even though that was the menu from yelp that was provided, I found that odd but ordered from the small menu at this location anyway..after waiting almost 30 minutes and being the only people in the restaurant I went up and checked on my food, i was told it would it would be coming out shortly..after another 5 minutes I received the two items I had order cold.. very disappointing read more
