    Garlic Cheese Breadsticks
    Milena J.

    Our family has been ordering from Ameci for years, and it never disappoints. The pizza is always just right--not too thick or doughy--and the garlic bread is incredible! The staff is quick and friendly, and it's a great value for the amount of food you get. We often order it when we have guests, and it's always a hit. Love that they have multiple locations too, which makes it easy to enjoy whenever we want. Definitely recommend, and make sure to get the garlic cheese bread!!

    $8.99 salad pizza drink combo! the man working inside is so sweet and friendly. the food is nothing insane or special, but it's still a nice typical italian-american lunch. i was happy with my experience here!

    I work in Newport Beach, and I didn't think I'd have time to grab a pizza at Blaze Pizza across the street at Fashion Island, but my boss was kind enough to have us do Pizza Day today, and I gotta say: I actually LOVE Ameci's. I took a slice of both the Meat Lover's and Pepperoni/Jalapeno, and both of them tasted GREAT. The crust was heated perfectly, and the toppings did not taste cold. The meats on both slices did not taste as salty like the Meat Lover's from Papa John's; but the Meat Lover's I got from Blaze was pretty close to what I had from Ameci's. I would definitely pick up a pizza from Ameci's again, but a little bit closer to home... Hopefully. 4.5 out of 5.

    The food is outstanding. Fresh ingredients. Low prices. Great deal for the money. The cashiers are eye candies. Restaurant is clean and spacious. Many sport team kids live there to add joy to the space. If you are happy or want to be happy and lucky, go here.

    Always a solid and reliable choice. Crust is the perfect thickness. So excited that they now offer Halal beef pepperoni as a topping!

    I took over responsibility for another facility and needed to feed my staff. Did a quick "food…read moresearch near me" and found Mama Hieu's. I wanted to order food for 10 people and saw they had party trays. Food looked good online and tasted even better in my mouth!!! I asked for recommendations and she said that the original garlic butter was very popular both regular and spicy so I ordered 48 wings half and half.....DEVOURED. Also got the white rice with fried shallots and garlic noodles....ALL GONE! I'll definitely put them in the rotation when buying lunch for the staff. Oh there was a part of the order that was missed but they took care of it right away. Also parking at the plaza is very busy but there's parking in the back so no problems. They even brought it out to me so I wouldn't have to carry it all around the building. A+ service. If you're in the area and want some good wings...don't hesitate to stop by! Thanks guys and gals!!!!

    I was born in China, so I'd say I'm pretty confident in being able to judge a Chinese food…read more This is easily one of the BEST Chinese food in all of SoCal. I'm shocked they aren't more famous. Both times I've been here the owner (I think it's him) sees me and before I can even finish saying 你好 (nihao, hello) he's got a sample of dumplings in my hand. The dish I've pictured is something called Cold Lamb. A better translation would be "cold-prepared lamb" but don't let the name fool you, it will be one of the best things you've ever eaten. Huge portions of meat, slathered in chili oil, with sliced cucumbers and lots of roasted peanuts. Then there's the amazing chili oil dipping sauce and a dipping powder that Im going to be thinking about for weeks. This meal was about 30 bucks but it comes with so, so much food that you could easily split it between two people. Will definitely be coming here any time I'm at SNA!

Stopped by during the lunch hour after seeing social media posts about this hidden gem. I order the double chicken sandwich and although in the pricey side ($20) it is a must try. The chicken is crispy and flaky on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. I've had plenty of chicken sandwiches in my day and this is top 3, no question. Ordering was quick and I was able to score some sample dumplings from the cashier while I waited. This is in a food court so the eating area is shared with other eateries. Get here early during lunch time if want to get a parking spot. It gets crowded.

    Koko's is a staple restaurant in this area for casual drinking vibes and consistently good food…read more Everything here is made to be good with a beer and some soju. We got the 8pc fried Pepper Soy wings and the Large Dubboki with cheese. The wings are always so good here. They're humongous, crispy, and sauced to perfection. The Pepper Soy flavor was so yummy and umami.   The trick is to get the dubboki so that you can dip the chicken in the sauce. The rice cakes are soft, and the sauce is sweet and spicy. The table also gets sat with a free side salad and pickled radishes, which is a great way to cut the richness of everything. A bite of chicken, a sip of beer, some rice cakes, and a bite of cold radishes really makes the night. Come out to Koko's for a drink, some eats, and a good casual time.

    This used to be one of my favorite spots, so it honestly makes me sad to write this…read more They've made a few changes to the menu and pricing. The dukbokki can only have ramen when it's a large. On top of that, cheese is now $4 extra and ramen is $3, which feels a bit steep for add-ons. They also changed the salad sauce--it used to be more on the sweeter side, but now it leans spicier (around a 3/10 spice level, still good), which may or may not be your preference. The biggest issue, though, was the food safety concern. Our order included 8 pieces of fried chicken (4 drumsticks and 4 wings). The drumsticks were fully cooked and fine. However, the first wing piece I bit into was clearly undercooked. Because of that, we did not continue eating the remaining wings--the other three were set aside and later on, discarded into the small trash bin they keep at the table. When I brought it to the staff's attention, they told me the redness was from bone marrow due to a broken bone and that the chicken was fully cooked. However, the bone only broke because I bit into it, and the meat itself was visibly pink. Not just near the bone where bone marrow would be. The actual MEAT was red and pink all throughout. This was not just "marrow." Even zooming into the picture, you can see the meat on both the plate and in my hand was still red and pink. Additionally, the remaining wings were only visually checked by the waiter and were not opened or inspected internally, which would not confirm whether they were fully cooked. This is concerning, as a visual check alone doesn't accurately assess doneness. It also concerns me that, despite not being present, the owner claims his servers point of view as factual, including the claim that all the wings were eaten, which is not accurate. We did not consume the remaining wings after the first one I bit into. Unfortunately, there was no apology from my perspective, simply an "explanation" stating it was bone marrow. And the situation wasn't handled with much concern. I ended up feeling sick and had to go to the bathroom to throw up, which completely ruined the rest of the experience. Overall, I'm really disappointed. Between the price changes, the food safety issue, and the owner's response focusing more on defending the situation rather than acknowledging the concern, I don't feel comfortable coming back.
