I'm from Sacramento so the Irvine spectrum center is comparable to the fountains at Roseville or the Palladio in Folsom in the sac area. We ordered popcorn chicken, french fries and drinks (mainly for the kids) and to get a snack since we were hungry. Inside has a few tables, which there were one or two other customers inside dining. Inside the space was pretty messy. It looks like the workers did not have time to clean since there were crumbs and bits of trash. I'm glad we didn't dine in. For the food, since it's made to order, we waited just over 15 minutes for the fried foods. It came out piping hot, which we didn't really get to enjoy since by then, our table at din Tai Fung was ready. So we brought it with us. The chicken was really good. It was seasoned well and they even gave us a seasoning packet to add more flavor to the popcorn chicken. I'll go back if I'm in this area and want boba and popcorn chicken.

Although I appreciate all the questions, they got annoying after a while, especially when they gave several options for how much ice you wanted in the drink. They also have Pepsi, which I don't care for, but worse, they only had Pepsi Zero, which, frankly, is just gross tasting. So settled for root beer. When we finished ordering, the total for 2 people was $35! That was for one combo, an entree, and another drink. Then we sat and waited. And waited. In fact, we waited long enough to try a different table, as the first one was by the door and it was hot outside. So we tried a booth, and immediately plopped down on a bench that was way too low for the table. Back to the old table. While we were waiting, we weren't a fan of the music. I used Shazam and figured out it was a female K-pop group. I'm sure kids love it, but it's not my taste. Looking around, the place needs a remodel and a paint job. Chips are all over the walls and corners. It looked like someone tried to paint the walls, but the color didn't quite match. The drain for the soda machine needs a very deep cleaning. They do have a status screen that tells you when your order is ready, which is nice. Then the food. I ordered the 2-piece chicken combo. It didn't look anything like the pictures. The roll is a hamburger bun! I tried the chicken, and well, blech. I thought I would attempt to make a sandwich, but that was worse. Although the chicken was moist, the breading had more texture than taste, and the texture just wasn't good. The curly fries (à la Arby's style) were limp and not crunchy at all. The root beer was good, as I like the Stubborn brand, but the lid was so weird to drink from; it was hard not to spill on my shirt. I ate maybe 1/2 the order because I was starving, but threw the rest away.

The double stack comes with two tasty hamburger patties and cheese on a delicious bun, with mustard, ketchup, pickles, and onions. The fries were fresh and hot, just what I expected. This meal deal comes with 4 chicken nuggets, I opted for honey mustard sauce. A generous sized coke completes this combo. This is a real value for $8! I couldn't resist and ordered a classic chocolate Frosty, yum! If you like variety and great value, the Biggie Bag may be for you, too. Enjoy!

I recently visited Panda Express at the Irvine Spectrum Center and was shocked by how small the…read moreportions have become. I ordered a 3-Item Plate, and it honestly looked smaller than what a 1-Item Plate used to be. The portion sizes across the board were extremely disappointing. The Orange Chicken was mushy and soft instead of crispy and fresh. The Beef & Broccoli contained only three small pieces of beef with mostly broccoli. I also paid the additional $1.95 upgrade for the Cantonese BBQ Brisket, and the portion was so small it was hard to believe. To make matters worse, the brisket was dry and lacked flavor. Even the rice portion was noticeably smaller than what Panda Express used to serve. I understand that food costs have increased and prices have gone up, but charging more while serving a fraction of the food customers used to receive is not acceptable. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling ripped off. There are plenty of restaurants offering better quality food, larger portions, and enough leftovers for a second meal. If Panda Express continues reducing portions while raising prices, they're going to lose loyal customers like me. Very disappointing experience.

1 star. This was a really disappointing experience. The line was out the door, but there were only…read moretwo employees working, one packing food and one on the register, so everything moved extremely slowly. When I finally got my food, both the teriyaki chicken and orange chicken were very chewy, and the portion size was just average. But the biggest issue was a serious one: after just two bites, I found several peanuts at the bottom of my container. I have a peanut allergy and had to stop eating immediately (thankfully I didn't have a reaction!). I specifically order the teriyaki chicken because it typically doesn't have sauce and is less likely to be cross-contaminated, so this was especially concerning. Cross-contamination like this is not a small mistake, it's a safety issue. Overall, I would not trust this location again.

Desert drink taste like a sweeter version of vitamin water which I like. 4.5/5 The cornbread which we got for free from the chef has a nice crunch to it which help battle the dryness and imo increase the flavor to it. 4/5 Gretchen's Jambalaya has this nice toasted bread which pairs well with stew and the stew itself has great flavor and will full you up. 4.5/5 I was craving southern food and this place hits the spot! Overall would rate this place 4.5/5 and would recommend other people to try this place!

The photos speak for themselves. I counted at least six tables covered in dirty plates, with no…read morestaff attending to them. After waiting 15 minutes at the front because no one was available, I was finally seated outside since nothing inside was clean or ready. I ordered the chicken and waffles, assuming a Southern comfort restaurant couldn't possibly get that wrong. Unfortunately, the food matched the service. The chicken was horrible, it had a strong, gamey smell and flavor, and the batter was overwhelmingly salty. It clearly wasn't fresh and tasted like old, premade frozen chicken. The waffle was decent, but only because the maple syrup saved it. Did anyone check on me during the entire meal or ask if I needed anything? Nope, not even once. Mind you, the restaurant wasn't busy at all; there were maybe four customers dining. I eventually had to walk to the front just to pay because no one bothered to come back to my table. First and last visit. If you want decent service and good food, this isn't it. Restaurants operating at this standard usually don't last long at Irvine Spectrum, and unless Georgia's makes some serious changes, I don't see this location surviving either.

The generous portion of small size onion rings were barely warm. Not good at all. Normally, we would have gone back and asked for fresh ones but we eat so few, we let it go. Our drink order never made it on the ticket. We went back and were cheerfully assisted. Finally, the dining room needed attention. Normally, there's an amazing woman constantly cleaning up but neither she nor anyone else was present. There were several messy tables that needed cleaning. Urp. There's something magical about this location that was sorely missing today. The Hat's Pastrami Dips and onion rings are a rare treat but today felt like punishment. We will come back when we start Jonesing for pastrami but don't think it'll be anytime soon. Our arteries may thank us but we are bummed.

I don't know why the reviews aren't higher for this place…read more It was my first time. Ordered the smash burger. 2 patties. It was cooked medium rare. Crispy on the outside and pink on the inside. The cheese was oozing out of my burger. The to go bag was well made also. Nice and structured at the bottom. I got the spicy fries, and the regular fries. To be honest, the burger is really good, it's just that it's $10!! lol that's pretty steep for a burger. It's def not a gourmet burger but it's def better than a regular fast food burger place. What's interesting is the bun. It's not like two separate buns. Imagine a single bun that they slice into two, then put the patty and cheese and tomatoes in. So imagine like a Hawaiian roll / bun, but bigger. Overall, super good experience. But price is steep. I ordered 3 burgers total and 4 French fries. Came out to like $50+ I'll be back anyway lol
