    Honey Ginger Salmon
    Jackie P.

    Food was amazing! I want to come back to try other dishes! It is located in the ground floor of an office building. You have to park in the structure, but they have designated reserved parking for restaurant guest, and they validate parking. It was very convenient. The staff was super friendly and came by our table frequently to check on us. The location has indoor and outdoor seating which is great. The decor has an Asian flare and was gorgeous. We asked the cashier for his recommendations. I got the yaki udon beef stir fry & my colleague got the honey ginger salmon. Both were delicious! I will come back again when I'm in town.

    Came here for dinner, so the place was empty, on a Friday night. The staff were very nice and it being our first time they walked us through the popular options on the menu. We picked out our meals and when the food came the presentation was wonderful. The food was good, nothing that I would make a special trip for, but can definitely see why they crush it with the lunch crowd. Fresh food right in an office building is hard to come by.

    Honey ginger salmon, salmon tacos and calamari.
    Elda L.

    My uncle and I traveled from Fresno county to bring my dog to a specialist veterinary here in Irvine. He found this place on Yelp and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing, perfection! The salmon was fresh and flavorful. The tacos were phenomenal and the calamari appetizer was absolutely delicious. The staff here are the friendliest I've ever seen. It's nice to get such great service. Thank you!

    This is an update on my original review. This place is super solid and convenient if you work nearby. Many time i order food online before coming to pick it up. The food here is delicious and they have great rotating menu with new items being added often. I'm actually here almost every day! Even better than the food - is the staff. They're incredibly professional, attentive and friendly. They definitely are part of the reason why i visit so much. Highly recommend DuPont cafe if you're in the area and looking for reasonably priced high quality food.

    Avocado BLT Burger
    Franky L.

    So, first-time here, I am working in the area,.. I called in using the number on yelp. I tried to place an a pickup order and was unable because the restaurant doesn't allow orders over the phone.. I was physically nearby so I walked in to place my order; an avocado BLT on sourdough. It was good, probably even better; when not to go... The parmesan fries were really good; even to go.. the photo I took does no justice, as it is way better than my picture lol.. The restaurant well maintained and managed, excellent vibe, the staff were great; greetings and patient. There could be an issue to substitute and or add ingredients to the food... not sure? I added purple onions to the burger and the server had to verify if that was allowed.. (fair warning; if at all one). I like how the collapsing doors open to patio area..

    Club sandwich
    Madeleine L.

    Fantastic! Ordered the food via GrubHub - a club sandwich with a salad and a side order of their Parmesan fries. The items came in a safety sealed bag and there was so much food that I had three meals from it. And it was super tasty too! I wish I would have discovered this place sooner.

    Dear Yelp Community, I passed this venue so many times before finally going inside, and so worth it! In fact, this venue may be underestimated since part of a commercial office building setting. The food is great tasting and at great value; portions are big and thoughtful presentation (for example, my fries were less than $3.00). The staff is friendly and professional. Whether spending $3.00 or $30.00, this venue treats me well. Affordable drip coffee, too. Do try and see for yourself. Continued well wishes to this venue. Sincerely, Anna P.S. Complimentary chocolate at register.

    How is the parking situation?

    There is parking spot available at the front of the restaurant. There is also a parking structure nearby, pull a ticket and get it validated by a staff member after your meal.

    Will any vegan options be added in the future for food?

    Hi Mel! We do have a few vegan option on the menu such as: Buddha Power Bowl, vegan egg, and vegan cheddar cheese. I hope this helps!

    My wife and I have been here quite a few times now, and it's always delicious. After The Counter…read moreclosed nearby, I really needed a new local burger place when I had a burger craving, and The Cut delivers. I either order The Cut (yes, the $40 burger and fries) or I make my own bleu cheese burger depending on my mood. I'll cut to the chase: is the $40 burger worth it? If you've got $40 to spare and you like burgers, I think it's definitely worth it. I mean, I've had it probably three or four times now, and I'm not some kind of moron who likes setting money on fire (I hope), so it must be good, right? What's unique about it? Basically everything, but obviously the patty of meat is the star of the show, with a unique taste and texture that makes it stand out from a normal ground beef patty, and the cheese is no slouch either. The only negative is that my wife bullies me into ordering it so she can steal a few bites. The regular fries and sweet potato fries are also great. My wife got a steak with her caesar salad one time, and that was delicious too. We usually have the same waiter since we come around the same time/day every time, and he's always great. They also always have a great selection of beers on tap, today they had three different West Coast IPAs and I felt like a kid in a candy store... yum! Normally when writing a review I can come up with some sort of complaint to balance things out, but not really in this case. I mean, I could whine that the burger is $40, but no one is forcing me to buy it (except for my wife). All in all, I think this is one of the best places in Irvine to have a pint of beer and a good meal.

    I can't believe we haven't had the cut before. And the sauces, I want more sauces…read more I'm bias for what I had. The blue cheese burger with amazing blue cheese sauce, carmelized onions. Bbq sauce with medium rare burger - oh my sweet and tartness! Absolute melt in your mouth delishness. And sweet potato fries were the perfect addition to the savory meal. I cannot wait have my leftovers today. My other half had the double smash cheese burger with regular fries. He'd try different side next time. But the Caesar dressing for the salad was amazing with homemade croutons. So let's discuss sauces. Three thousand island - yowsa- and house the cut sauce - my blue cheese sauce - and the ranch dressing! I want more things to dip in the sauces. Next time we will dine in and try more. Definitely a smash hit for a Friday night.

This was conveniently located in the Tustin Marketplace and they were fortunately open until 11pm. Once we selected this restaurant, I downloaded their mobile app to see if they had a Rewards program, and was immediately granted a "Free French Fry" coupon. When I entered the restaurant, it was quite busy for 9pm on a Friday. I was immediately greeted by a very kind and helpful cashier (didn't catch her name but she had dark brown hair and glasses), who was very patient with me as I read the menu. She kindly notified me that I could use the free fry coupon on any of their availability options. I ordered the Magic Shroom burger, sweet potato fries, and a Oreo milkshake. The cashier then provided me with the number of the two top booth that she selected for us. At HopDoddy, the tables are assigned to the customer, even though it's a counter service restaurant. I actually preferred this method since it took the guess work out of me trying to find a suitable table :) Our food was brought out quickly with the fries being served first. They came with ketchup and an aioli sauce and I requested mustard on side. The fries were fresh and a generous portion. A great value considering they were free with the app coupon! The burger arrived, and I sadly have to admit that we were a bit disappointed. The flavor and temperature of the burger were good, but it was small compared the other restaurants serving $15 dollar burgers. The pesto sauce was the highlight of the dish. The Oreo milkshake is prepared with a custard base as compared to traditional ice cream. It was fine, but I wouldn't order it again. I prefer standard milkshakes as compared to a custard base. Overall, the staff members were friendly and our food was served quickly. The restaurant was clean and had the added benefit of being open late and being located in a central area of Tustin. That being said, the food was not memorable and I most likely wouldn't return on the basis of taste and satiety from the meal. I would return for a quick late night bite if I wanted to sit down in a restaurant instead of surrendering to the long drive thru line of a nearby, very popular fast food burger establishment (cough cough In-n-Out).

Since it was my first visit, I took a moment to look over the menu before ordering. The employee helping me, Gigi, seemed visibly impatient while I was deciding. I then asked whether it made more sense to order a combo or purchase the burgers and sides separately, and her response was, "We already told you the price, so it's up to you at the end of the day." While that may be true, it felt dismissive and didn't really answer the question I was asking. After placing my order, I asked for ranch and house sauce. I was told, "50 cents," and then informed that one sauce was complimentary while the other would cost extra. I had no issue paying for it, but the interaction felt cold and transactional rather than welcoming. The food itself was okay. The fries were good, although the saucy fries could have used more sauce. The ranch dressing spilled throughout the bag, which made a mess of everything inside. I was also disappointed with the onion rings--there were only six in the order, which didn't feel like a good value for the price. Overall, the food was satisfactory, but customer service is a big part of the dining experience for me. I never felt particularly welcomed, and because of that, I don't see myself returning.

Here, we've got buttermilk ranch, jalapeño ranch, chipotle mayo, white BBQ, Hammer sauce, and our fave: garlic toum. Creamy, garlicky, and addictive - we found ourselves dunking everything into it! The vibe is relaxed and lively, with plenty of TVs showing sports and a crowd that's there for good food and a good time. One thing to keep in mind: parking can be a bit of an adventure.
