Bushfire is relatively new to the area, and I've been wanting to try it for a while. I finally got my chance, and I was not disappointed! The restaurant is. Ice and bright with a modern feel. The staff was very attentive and pleasant. I ordered the tri-tip plate with Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, and a slice of focaccia. The Mr. got the American burger. Both meals were delicious! The portions of tri-tip and Brussels sprouts were generous, and I was more than happy to enjoy the leftovers the next day. In fact, they made some delicious tacos for lunch! According to my husband, the burger was excellent, and the bacon-to-burger ratio was perfect. We also decided to splurge on a peach empanada. It was tasty, although a little on the small side. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. It was definitely on the pricier side, but the generous portions and having enough leftovers to share for lunch the next day made it feel worth it. Definitely a spot I'd visit again! read more

I've been to bushfire twice now. The first time I visited, I ordered their grass hamburger. It was very juicy and made fresh. The second time I went, I ordered the steak bowl with brown rice and veggies. I was a little disappointed in this dish because I felt like it didn't have much flavor to it. The steak wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped and the veggies needed a little spice or something. But I would definitely come back because I really like the hamburger and both times the parties I was with order the chicken sandwich and they both said it was delicious so I definitely want to try that next time. It's a very clean restaurant and has a very nice atmosphere. They're seating inside and outside. Bathrooms were nice and clean. I think it's a great new addition to that little corner of restaurants. read more

Recently opened in Cypress, Bushfire Kitchen is a nice fast casual spot for getting food that feels both healthy and like you're getting a meal at a sit down restaurant. I got their sustainable Salmon Plate. The salmon is grilled and topped with sun dried tomatoes, capers, and parsley. The salmon was cooked just right, moist and flakey. I also tried some of the Peri Peri Chicken. This comes with peri peri sauce, but it's tasty and not spicy! All of their plates come with two sides and their house-baked focaccia with scallion sauce. Between the two plates, I got to sample the Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Grandma's Mac and Cheese, Miso Glazed Broccoli (seasonal), and French Fries. Plus we ordered an extra side of Garlic Mashed Potatoes because it just sounded so good! So nice and creamy--would definitely get these again! I also enjoyed the Mac and Cheese which is baked, so the cheese is not too runny, which I enjoyed! Wish they would keep the broccoli side around, but in the meantime, I'll be getting the Brussel Sprouts! We also had the Quinoa and Power Greens Salad. It has quinoa, black rice, arugula, baby kale, baby spinach, roasted beets, local avocado, chickpeas, orange segments, and a house made soy and orange vinaigrette. It had a good mix of ingredients, and the dressing was tasty. Lastly, I was surprised to see that they have empanadas! I love empanadas, so we decided to try all three. They have a Chicken Empanada, Beef Empanada, and a Veggie Empanada. They also have a seasonal empanada--this time was Peaches and Cream. Out of the empanadas, the chicken and veggie were my favorites. The chicken has basil pesto, sun dried tomato, red onion, peas, and feta cheese. The veggie has a colorful mix of spinach, roasted corn, bell peppers, potato, cilantro, onions, and pepper-jack cheese. Empanadas are served with a delicious housemade chimichurri sauce! Make sure to give it a dip! read more

Right when we walked in Victor was waiting at the front and ready to help us with a smile. We studied the various menu items and decided on salmon plates today. While we waited in their spacious dining room, my son grabbed our delicious pomegranate lemonades as we watched motorcycle racing on their TV's. My Surf & Turf was tasty and filling, especially with the focaccia bread and scallion sauce. My salmon and my sons were tasty and cooked just right as they easily separated when cut with a fork. Our meals along with the peaches and cream empanadas were really good. Thanks Bushfire. I want to try the Fuego Burger next time. read more

Another Bushfire Kitchen in the OC! I've been to the Brea location so many times so I'm glad we have a new location in Orange County! There's not a dish I've had here that I didn't love. But honestly, the main favorite out of everything was the gaucho steak sandwich! That with the sweet potato fries was absolutely delicious! This location is already well loved by the community with so many people in and out of the location so it makes me happy! The staff here is great! Even when you sit outdoors they come by and check on how you're doing, which i appreciated a lot. There's a lot of parking so you can choose take out as well and keep it moving! read more

Decided to come here because we heard great things about this place. We stopped by for an early dinner. I got the chicken bowl, you pick your base, and a topping. I went with veggies for the base it's a. Extra $2.50 and all the other toppings is extra cost except for the veggies so I went with double veggies. The chicken is very tasty and moist. Good seasoning, it does come with a side of teriyaki sauce. Service is great, the staff member was helpful and knowledgeable. You order first, grab your number and sit at a table if you decide to dine in. Lots of seating area , and clean location read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Cage-Free Chicken Bowl - American Near Me - Cypress, California

New spot here in cypress..... I wasn't aware until instagram. Thank goodness lol..... we really wanted to try.... Unfortunately it was not good. I ordered 2 empanadas (beef) they were luke warm very bland, thank goodness for the chimichurri that was flavorful. But then I couldn't taste empanada. My husband ordered the a fish plate with a side of veggies same thing very bland. The veggies were good. Service was also good. The ambience was great very clean. For dessert we had a strawberries and cream empanada now that was warm but it didn't even taste like dessert. I also had a double chocolate cookie ummm terrible......Maybe I just didn't order the right thing. No idea but unfortunately it was just a one time visit for us. Ok byeee read more

We were in the area and had to stop by for lunch at this newly opened location! Ordered at the counter; the staff were so upbeat and helpful, telling us the current specials and giving recommendations. They brought our melas to the table after a brief wait. Everything we tried was outstanding. The beef was cooked nicely and seasoned, the veggies still a little crisp. Hubby tried the Korean cauliflower for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Just a little kick to it. The chimichurri sauce is so yummy, I could put that on everything. One of the staff that stopped by to check on our table gave me another little portion of it to take home. I could eat any entire pan of the focaccia bread!!! So good. The En Fuego burger was delicious but not as hot and spicy as we expected. I love that there is good flavor on everything, not just salt, and they use quality ingredients for the price. read more

Maybe this place is still working out the kinks. The dinner took 30 minutes for our order to come out. Not anyone's fault perhaps but it is slow for a quick type of meal. Ordered a blt and the chicken sandwich. It was just ok. A little disappointed in the way it's ran. Giving it a little grace since it's new but I'm not sure I'd come back. read more

Hello Fellow Yelpers This restaurant just opened up and thought we give it a try. Well my burger came out luke warm, very greasy and had a piece of paper in it. I just returned it for a refund. Sweet potato fries were okay. Tri-tip BBQ sandwich was a bit dry, not enough sauce Pomegranate lemonade is tart. But some people like that. The manager was great and gave me a cookie to make up for the burger issue. Remember to do random acts of kindness as it will make everyone feel wonderful Follow me for more awesome reviews. read more

A fun new place to try! When I reached the front of the line I was greeted and given a few recommendations. I ordered the gaucho steak sandwich with some fries. I also added a peaches and cream empanada as a treat. The fries were really good. Totally recommend. The sandwich was good but I'd try and sub a few things next time for my preference. I felt like the bread was too thick for the toppings. I took off half the ciabatta and it was better. The steak was great! I also enjoyed the empanada. I'd go back and try a few more things. read more

There is a new corner spot on the Boardwalk in Cypress. Plenty of indoor and outdoor tables. Bushfire offers a variety of fresh salads, bowls, plates and sandwiches. Everything is locally sourced. Prices are reasonable from $13.00- $20.00 for most things. The real winner was the chicken empanada with house made chimichurri sauce. At $4.95 a pop they are well worth it. Order everything at the counter and take your number to the table and staff will deliver to you. We ordered the California Burger with Grandmas Mac and cheese. As well as the steak sandwich with roasted Brussells. Everything was very good. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and topped with bread crumbs. The brussels were just okay. They were baked/roasted and I wish they were roasted a little longer. They have self serve Bushfire soda and housemade lemonade. The lemonade is very sweet. Staff is very friendly and are being trained well. They kept on checking on everyone and refilling drinks. I hope they make it here in Cypress. read more

This new location is at the Boardwalk plaza in Cypress. I was able to attend the Bushfire pre-tasting event prior to their grand opening. They provided a choice of complimentary bowls, sandwiches, burger, and salad. They also gave a free side ad well. Their other menus on the menu was for purchase. I tried their Thai curry bowl with jasmine rice and veggies. The bowl was very flavorful. Once it was mixed, the rice portion was a bit overpowering and I had to dig for the chicken and veggies. The California burger was delicious. I really enjoyed their garlic aioli. The default is meat cooked medium but you can ask for it to be more cooked. The brussel sprout side was good, but I was expecting it to be crispy. Their raspberry lychee lemonade was a punch of flavor and refreshing. They have a lot of their menu as well as sweet treats. They have daily happy hour from 2-5pm. There are plenty of tables indoors and outdoors. There's a restroom in the back. I didn't see a single trash can inside the restaurant though. The service for the pre-grand opening tasting was great and everyone was attentive and check in on how the food is. This spot is close to my work and so I'll definitely be coming here with my coworkers. read more

My 2nd time to Bushfire (different locations each time). Ordered their summer special salad which came with grilled chicken. Quality is high but the portion size was disappointing (about the size of a side salad, perhaps a bit bigger). Even the bread was extra (1.50) for a small piece of foccacia. Total was 21 bucks incl tax! Sorry, Bushfire, I can duplicate this salad at home for half thr cost or for 3 days worth for lunch! read more

Food was terrible, would not come back. it was our first time and never again. They had 4 stars so I don't know if today's cook was just bad, but i'm not a fan of places that are hit or miss, especially when my plate was over $20. The food took long to come out and when it did, the tri tip was cold, dry, and very tough. The salmon was dry and overcooked even though she asked how I wanted it and I said medium rare. The mac and cheese tasted funky, the cauliflower was over seasoned. The bread was dry too The kicker too was that I saw them deliver my food to the wrong table and then saw a girl come back to take it back to the kitchen. When I asked if my plate was the plate that they delivered to the wrong table, the girl said he didn't touch anything...not cool. read more

Great salads! Super fresh ingredients! Fantastic value. The Greek salad with grilled salmon and the quinoa salad with spinach was sublime and portions were generous. The tri-tip plate was huge and exceptionally apportioned with lots of sweet potato fries. Whole family enjoyed it. Service was quick considering each dish is made to order. One of the better informal sit down eateries in this area. Highly recommend. Mahalo! read more

I came in with a friend: lots of parking, friendly and attentive staff, very clean, interesting and diverse menu, and the food I got (wonderfully tender chicken in a spicy-delicious sauce, with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts on the side) was unexpectedly good. The dining room was casual but comfortable and tidy, with umbrella'd seating outside. Thank you to Sean (Shaun? Shawn?) and staff--I will DEFINITELY be back. I hope word gets out! read more

Bushfire Kitchen is my long-time favorite for hearty comfort food that leaves me feeling good after, and I'm so happy they opened their newest location in Cypress! I love that they focus on using clean ingredients with integrity, and there's literally something for everyone here, including gluten-free and plant-based options and packed with protein. They also do limited-time seasonal items that incorporate international flavors, like the Thai chicken curry bowl which is my go-to as a post-workout meal. And you gotta try the Korean cauliflower with the spicy addicting sauce! Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

I came here expecting a good happy hour deal, but left totally frustrated. First off, calling their food specials a "Happy Hour" is wildly misleading--the fries actually cost more than their standard menu items, and you end up paying nearly $10 for a tiny, small bag. To make matters worse, the service was a mess. The place was practically empty with only one other table, yet it took 15 minutes to get our food. The empanadas were already premade and sitting in the display, so there was no reason for the delay. Also, there seem to be more staffs than there are customers. When our food was finally handed to us, one of the employee asked if we got our empanadas while we were visibly standing there waiting for our food. She then proceeded to stack the empanadas right on top of the fries, squishing them. Bad pricing, slow service for premade food, and sloppy packaging. Staff needs serious retraining. *edit* after tasting the food Oh btw, the $10 fries that they took 15 mins to make were soggy and gross. The empanadas however, were okay. The chicken empanada was more on the dry side. The beef one, there was nothing significant about it. The veggies one would be the best one out of the three. However with the sauce, was really good. It definitely enhanced the empanadas. read more

Every time I eat at Bushfire Kitchen, there are issues. They get my order wrong or overcharge me. M husband and I were eating there one time and his rice was sticky and disgusting. I ordered a lettuce wrap burger with no onions and paid extra for a tomato and they put onions on my burger and didn't give me the tomato I paid extra for. They sent me an email asking me to review my experience and I explained all the problems I had encountered. The management said they were sorry and would speak to the employees. On another occasion I placed a phone order and I had a similar experience. This time my order was wrong. I ordered a small side Greek salad and was charged for a large salad. So the employee removed the large Greek salad but charged me for two small Greek salads. When I brought it to her attention, the employee had to call the manager over to correct it. However, the manager had difficulty correcting it and had to ask an additional employee to assist him. Meanwhile my burger was getting cold. I received another email from Bushfire and I wrote another poor review, but this time I also included the people who sent out the survey since they literally did NOTHING to correct the problem and haven't heard back from them. Bushfire Kitchen in CYPRESS is very disorganized, provides poor customer service and doesn't know how to get orders correct! read more

I had a lovely experience at this location! Came in for dinner while in the area and the staff was very friendly. It was a bit busy when we came but food came out in a timely manner. Everything was delicious, however the curry was my favorite! It had a great flavor and heat level to it that I would come back for. I also enjoyed how clean the inside was. read more

Food: Honestly it's pretty good! My son likes his brisket sandwich, my daughter liked her chicken pesto sandwich, and my chimi-churi steak was done proper and seasoned decently. Is it home cooked meal level of spice and flavor? No, but they're trying to cater to everyone, and they're doing a decent job. :) Service: On point, they checked up on us often and even offered to fill up our drinks, we declined as the drink machine was right by us, but it does speak to the vibe. :) Ambiance: Clean and welcoming, the place is well lit and decorated as one would expect. The price is a bit more than your average lunch, but they are trying to deliver more than your average lunch so I'll give them that. ;) read more

TLDR; Had high hopes for this place but left disappointed. I was really hoping the food would be like a Mendocino or Urban Plates but most of the items were lackluster. Ordered: - Empanada Trio which came w/ chicken, beef and veggie with a side of chimichurri sauce. I enjoyed the veggie and chicken, those had good flavors. The beef didn't have much flavor. - White wine sangria. Very sweet, would skip if you're not able to handle sugary drinks. - Tri tip chimichurri plate. Not sure if it was a one off on the cook of our Tri tip but it was very very dry, chewy and bland. Look at the photo they advertised versus what came out. - Tuscan chicken sandwich which was probably the best item we tried. No complaints! I understand the concept but it fell flat for me. Overall, if you're looking for something clean and light then def give this place a go. read more

My girlfriend and I decided to try Bushfire Kitchen's new Cypress location since it's close to home, and we were excited to have another dining option in the area. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit mixed. First, our order was missing the Peaches & Cream Empanada entirely. We called the restaurant, and while they did offer a refund, it's still disappointing when part of the order is forgotten and its a nee item that we were excited about. Especially for a brand-new restaurant that's trying to make a first impression. Starting with the positives, both the Chicken Empanada and Beef Empanada were very good. They came with a fresh chimichurri sauce that paired perfectly with them. The chicken was my favorite of the two, but both were flavorful and well-executed. I'd rate them both around an 8/10. The Umami Parmesan Fries had great flavor and quality ingredients, but they lacked any crispness. It's possible they would have been better eaten immediately in the restaurant, but as served, the texture took away from what otherwise could have been a standout side. The biggest disappointment was the Tokyo Chicken Sandwich. The flavors were there, but the sandwich contained only about half of a chicken breast and was put together sloppy. The photos and description online show a full chicken breast sandwich, so what we received felt noticeably smaller than expected and didn't match the advertised presentation. What makes this review difficult is that the food itself showed a lot of promise. There were some genuinely good flavors throughout the meal, and it's easy to see the potential. However, missing items, inconsistent execution, and portion discrepancies are the kinds of quality-control issues that can leave a lasting impression. We live nearby and would genuinely like to support this location. If they can tighten up the details and improve consistency, I could absolutely see us becoming regular customers. For now, though, the experience left us wanting more. read more

Called in my order amd it was ready by the time I got there. Mac n cheese has some spice level to it. I was confused because it says cheddar but definitely medium spice level. The bbq tri tip sandwich is good, the meat was overcooked but wasnt dry, so it was good. Beef empanada was good, not great. A little dry. Was 4 stars, updated to 3, I couldn't finish my mac n cheese due to spice level, I would not calm that mid spice personally. read more

First and last time here. I was disappointed for several reasons. - The spinach and strawberry salad had wilted, old strawberries and watery poppy seed dressing - They put the goat cheese in a clump on top, then set the protein on it, so the cheese melted onto the bottom of the protein. - The "Korean" cauliflower side with the peri peri chicken was too salty to be eaten. It was terribly overcooked and very soft - hard to recognize it as the vegetable - Grandma overcooked her noodles in the mac and cheese and it looks like the cheese sauce split, leaving clumps - The person at the register put 2 peach empanadas in a bag, DROPPED the bag on the floor then handed it to me. As you can imagine, one of the empanadas was smushed I feel like I wasted money. read more

Beef Empanada - 4 Tritip Plate - 4 Gaucho Sandwich - 3 Mac N Cheese - 1 Service - 3 Ambiance - 3 Chimichurri - 5 These guys delivered on the concept of a clean food option. 1st time diners here. Food doesn't taste salty or greasy and may not sit well with your palate if that's what you're seeking. Two things that get me to a restaurant with Mac & Cheese being one of them. I was disappointed as it truly lacked flavor and it was delivered to our table15 minutes after the sandwich. Except for the empanada, everything.was lukewarm and slow getting to the table. On the positive side we got full and didn't go into our usual food coma afterward. We agreed to give this place another visit and use the burger as the make or break decision to add this to the rotation or not. read more

I'd probably go back for the mac and cheese, but both the Tuscan Chicken Sandwich and the Peri Peri Chicken Burger had thick pieces of chicken. I kind of wish they had pounded the chicken thinner so it covered the entire piece of bread. About half the bites, were mostly bread with little or no chicken. The chicken was also so thick that it ended up being pretty dry. read more

Stopped in for lunch at this little spot in a strip mall around the corner from my house. It's not brand new, but it hasn't been there for very long so we decided to give it a try. I had the barbecue tri-tip sandwich that normally Came on a ciabatta bun, but I decided to switch that out for a brioche, my niece had the American Burger and I have to say both of these were really good. Their barbecue sauce is really tasty. I have to say not only was the food really good but what kind of gave it a four-star was the people that work there, they were so nice, always checking on you and making sure that you're enjoying yourself. The place is small, but there is outside seating and plenty of parking. I do normally take pictures, but I was just too hungry so you'll have to go see for yourself read more
