Cage-Free Chicken Bowl
Audrey E.

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

Grass-Fed Beef Empanada
Kristen C.

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.

Strawberry and cream empanada
Deanne R.

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

Bushfire burger

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.

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.

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.

9.25 for these fries
Lala K.

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.

California burger and steak sandwich. We cut them in half
Angel B.

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.

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.

We stopped this new location for dinner. We ordered the salmon bowl and a steak bowl. Both were served with fresh delicious ingredients. Service was friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back to try their menu items. Plenty of parking.

Thai chicken curry bowl
Sherry C.

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! ^-^

Tuscan chicken sandwich
Jennifer C.

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.

How the chimichurri steak plate is advertised versus
Tracy M.

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.

For the omakase we get a choice of three appetizers, two pasta dishes, chefs choice entree, chefs choice risotto, and a choice of dessert for each person.

No 'wow,' no fireworks, just... food that exists. Servers were friendly, though! Probably because they had plenty of time to chat with the only two tables in the whole dang dining room. So yeah.

My husband and I have been meaning to try the pizza for a while now. I just wish they opened…read moreearlier for lunch on the weekends. Since we both have today (Friday) off from work, we took the hour drive with our dogs for lunch. Fun Fact: Pastor Gene Pietrini married us back in 2007! My husband called ahead to place our order, one Margherita and one Margherita Especial. Our total came out to around $44. The restaurant is located by the Starbucks. They have plenty of outdoor tables and shade. Perfect to have our two girls with us. It's one of my dog's 15th birthday today too. The texture of the crust and taste of the tomato was amazing. Definitely worth the drive over here. Will definitely return whenever we get the opportunity.

Best pizza I have had in Southern California!…read more Location/Parking: ample amount of parking and easy to find the restaurant. In a safe area. Service: servers are very attentive and kind! Wait time on a weeknight was around 15 minutes. Vibes: chill and very family friendly. Casual pizza spot, but also great for date night. Food: The crust of their pizza is very airy and doesn't sit heavy in your stomach plus it just tastes great. I ate the Garlic Paradiso with sausage, which was rich in aromatic flavors from the rosemary and creamy. It does lean more on the salty side compared to their red sauce pizzas. The meatballs are so good and I highly recommend ordering some. They're flavorful, juicy, and the tomato sauce that they are in is delicious. The salads are good too, my favorite being the Caesar, although it is on the heavier side due to the dressing. Delicious food, great service, chill atmosphere, and good parking. Can't complain!

Ordered lunch online for pick up closer to opening. It was supposed to be ready between 11:15am to…read more11:30am (they open at 11am) so I went around 11:30ish and my order was still not ready (til around 11:50ish). I was patiently waiting; however, there was one customer who wasn't and kind of made a big deal about it. As for the food, I ordered an OP cheeseburger, fries, and a side salad as my app. The salad was a joke as it was in a little cup (It would be on a plate if you dined in). The burger was decent and the fries were not their usual fries (almost like a lighter, crispier fry). Overall, not bad for 10.99 for the 3 for me; however, enjoy this dining in next time as I feel I would have a better experience rather than for take out.

We came during a World Cup game, so it was fairly busy. Big groups and an initial line to get in,…read morebut it moved quickly and we got seated without much of a wait. We saw the sign for $6 Cosmos (it was one particular type - pink), and ordered those. It didn't come in a Cosmo/martini glass - you can see the glass it came in, which looked like a deal because the glass was much bigger! But alas, they mined the last of the Antarctic ice to fill up the cup, so the liquid volume was about what you'd get in a martini glass. It was sweet, but fine enough for a $6 mixed drink! I was scoping out the menu in advance, trying to find something I could order that wouldn't lead to a premature demise, health-wise. I settled on the salmon, which nutritionally was fine as far as fat, but kind of still a disaster salt-wise. Oh well, I scraped off a lot of the salmon topping and chose to eat the Spanish rice instead of trying to sub plain rice. The salmon was cooked well, the sauce on top was meh and salty, the rice was indeed very salty and made me regret not subbing for plain rice! But I ate it all, so it couldn't have been THAT bad. The broccoli was just fine. Service was fine as well - I didn't really notice it either way, which is fine. My nephew ordered a tragically unhealthy set of 3 appetizers (sliders, boneless chicken wings, and some kind of egg roll thing?) - he wisely ate only about 1/2 of it and saved the rest. It's not great food, it's like the fast food equivalent for a sit down place. But it's also pretty much what you'd expect at a typical bar and grill place that isn't fancy. So versus expectations and as a whole for the genre, it's typical, about what you'd expect, and just fine.

Service was great! I am a cinnamon roll lover, and I loved their warm glazed cinnamon roll. It is large and took it home to eat over the next couple days. I think I'd rather have had the sourdough toast. It looked good.

We drove 40 minutes specifically because of an Instagram post by @laoc.eats featuring a prime rib…read morethat looked incredible. Upon arrival, we were informed that the prime rib was only available during Father's Day weekend. It would have been nice if that little detail had been mentioned in the post that inspired the trip. Since we were already there and starving, we decided to stay. Mistake #1. The medium rare top sirloin arrived looking like it had lost a fight with a blowtorch. It was so overcooked and rubbery that we couldn't finish it. We brought the leftovers home thinking at least our dog would enjoy it. She sniffed it and walked away. For anyone who has ever owned a dog, you understand how impressive that is. The meatloaf somehow managed to transport me back to my hospital room after my appendectomy. If you've ever wondered what institutional cafeteria food tastes like with a side of disappointment, order the meatloaf. The coleslaw appeared to be made from aging cabbage with visible brown and pink bruising throughout. To save myself a trip to urgent care, I passed on trying it. The mashed potatoes were the only thing that showed signs of life, but the gravy was so salty it could probably preserve a mummy and contained the dried skin that forms when gravy sits out too long. Even the lemon slices in our water glasses were slimy. The atmosphere felt less like a destination restaurant and more like the dining room of an assisted living facility. The average age of the patrons appeared to be somewhere around 78, which honestly started making sense once the food arrived. The hostess was very nice and our waitress was pleasant, but she seemed just as confused as we were about what was actually available on the menu. We left hungry, annoyed, and wondering how many other people had made the same pilgrimage after seeing that Instagram post. At this point, I have to question whether @laoc.eats actually eats at the places being promoted or just photographs them. This was our second disappointing restaurant recommendation from that account, and it may be the last time we use it as a dining guide. Forty minutes there. Forty minutes back. One edible side dish. I should have just stayed home and made a sandwich.

The evening started off strong, as we stopped by during Hoppy Hour (around 9ish). There wasn't a wait, and it wasn't too busy, so we were seated right away. The front staff was nice and polite. She gave us the option of either a tall round table or a shorter rectangular table. We of course, opted for the slightly shorter (height-wise) rectangular table. Once we were seated, we were given the menu, and the waitress told us that we would be right with us. She stopped by to ask about drinks, and we opted for water. She dropped off water and came back with perfect timing because by then we were ready to order. I also love the simplicity of the menu. There really aren't too many options where you feel overwhelmed, but there are still enough choices to pick from. Shout out to the pastrami quesadilla, I didn't realize it had been swapped for a new menu item until I asked about it this time around, but I'll be waiting for its comeback! We ordered a few items: the mac and cheese balls, the Wagyu bone marrow burger with truffle fries, and a double smash burger with ribbed finger potatoes. We had to get the mac and cheese balls since it was Hoppy Hour! I also didn't realize that on Wednesdays, the double smash burgers are half off. I'll definitely remember that for next time. After we ordered, the food came out quicker than I expected. It was a nice surprise. I think the first item came out about 10 minutes after our initial order. The mac and cheese balls came out hot, which was great. The breading made them super crispy and gave a nice crunch that balanced really well with the softer, chewier mac and cheese inside. I was glad the inside wasn't too runny since that would have made it like lava! I didn't see a cheese pull this time, but next time I'll try again to see if I can catch one. It was a great start to the meal. The burgers came out shortly after we finished the mac and cheese balls. I totally forgot that the truffle fries came with sauce. I should have asked for the sauce on the side, but it wasn't a problem that it was added on top of the fries. It just made them get soggy a bit faster, but that's no problem; it just means I've got to work faster! The burger was good and came out super juicy. I asked for it medium, and it looked about medium, so no complaints here! I never realized before, but the bread was so fluffy... it was a super pillowy bun with a nice bounce to it. It definitely helped balance out the meatiness of the patty. The hint of tomato gave it a nice, refreshing bite and really helped cut through the richness of the meat. The onions also added a nice sweetness to the burger, which was appreciated. I also snuck a bite of the ribbed potatoes, and they were good as well. They were a bit crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside, with just a touch of saltiness. I also stole a pickle from the double smash and realized I probably should have asked for pickles on my burger, but I'll remember that for my next visit!
