Midday munchies. As…read morea lover of kombucha, this place has been on my radar for a couple of years now. I've been obsessed with the coffee shop across the parking lot, and I finally felt that it was time for me to try fermentation farm. Their kombucha hands-down has been some of the best I've ever had. I tried the famous tuna melt and also got a chicken taco. The food was good, but not great in my opinion. At that price point, there are a lot of nearby places with quality ingredients that taste better. I do love the mission and background of this restaurant. I read up a little bit about how the food is sourced. Consumers are definitely getting quality products here, but sometimes quality doesn't always transfer over as deliciousness. Again, the food was good, but not something that I'm going to be yearning for. I would like to come back and try the chocolate cake that is also very popular and perhaps the Ramen. And of course, another flavor of their delicious kombucha.

I have been to this restaurant once before. I came into town from Arizona for Corgi Beach day for…read morethe weekend and remembered how amazing this place was. Coming back, the staff/management/ownership is over the top spectacular! The customer service is what will make me come back (not to mention the amazing food!) Overall, the quality of food matched the environment. Amazing!

Wife gets Tonkatsu (pork) broth, a heaping tablespoon of garlic, a decent spoonful of Miso (for saltiness), and a touch of mild spice. Then she gets 9 piece Prime Ribeye. So how do you eat this? Everybody does it differently. Here's what I do... Wait for the pot to come to a boil. Put the dense items in the boiling pot first, like the corn, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, and cabbage. Wait a few minutes, then put everything else in, but not the meat. Wait several minutes. Ask for a bowl. Pull all the cooked items out of the pot and put them in the bowl. Use the ladle to put a little bit of hot broth in the bowl. Eat the items with chopsticks and put the bowl to your lips to sip a bit of broth. As needed, cook individual pieces of meat and eat them while you're eating everything else.

Food was decent prices were more than the one I see on yelp. Regular hot pot affair with 4 soup choices. I didn't know and only picked two, they just gave me hot water in the two other slots. Veggies were fresh, meet was frozen, beef gets pretty tough if you don't pull it out fast. Sauce bar is okay, oranges in the back behind the sauces looks odd.

What I really like is that there I got pot with the add on dim sum choices. However, the dim sum…read morewas not that good. The flour/encasings were very thick and chewy in not a good way. Hot pot was good. Prices were good for hot pot. You order most things (maybe everything) on an iPad so that's nice that you don't have to flag them down because service took quite some time. First, I came (before my party) and it was quite empty. I stood there waiting to even be acknowledged for literally 5-10 minutes. (There were a handful of tables already being served but no staff came by to say anything at all.) Then, when they finally asked how they can help, I checked in, told them someone from my party already called and made the reservation and they said they're working on it. But, we sit in the waiting area for another 20 minutes. Someone else from my party finally decided to ask if the table is ready and they guide us to it. My questions are why didn't they come get us? However much longer would we have waited? Should we have kept checking in periodically to get our table sooner? It was an upsetting start to the meal. I like to give the benefit of the doubt but there were a decent amount of staff to do what was needed, unless the back give them that many tasks, as they were all back there for the majority of the time.

Held at the…read moreOc-mix mart showcasing local artisans and businesses.I learned how to make my own kimchi, Sirarcha, pickled squash, herb flavored cooking oil and a lavender scented Epsom salt scrub for my skin. Everything for the do it yourself projects were donated by Whole Foods and the classes were free! I was able to take home the products I made in cute little glass jars. My kimchi is currently fermenting and I can hear my bottle bubbling. Classes were taught by local business owners which was a great way for them to promote their establishments. What a cool community event! There were cooking demonstrations inside Surfas culinary district where you could learn about things like how to cook with local California products, or about Tamales of South America and then we were able to have samples of what was demonstrated. Yum! Surfas also had some of their amazing cheese out to sample and I couldn't resist purchasing a big hunk of Holland Gold which is a Dutch goats milk Gouda. Oh it's tasty! I walked through the vendor area and bought some refreshing pink lady apple kombucha from the owner of the kombucha co thats trying to get her business off the ground. I also picked out a cute "Oh Kale Yeah!" T-shirt from another vendor that I was so excited about I wore it the next day to ciclavia. I was exposed to local business that I would love to seek out and patronize again. Arc restaurant gave a steak 101 demonstration and told us how he only uses local(from lake Elsinore) grass fed beef cooked over real fire using local almond and orange wood. He brought in his own wood burning oven for the demo. I only attended one day of the two day show but I'm on the mailing list now and can't wait for future editions. I only learned about the event the day before when I came to the mix mart to pick up some climbing shoes from gear co-op. The Santa Ana winds ruined our climbing weekend and I'm happy I was able to be a part of the inaugural edibles edition of the patchwork show. I hope they do a better job of promoting the next event and get even more people out. It's too cool not to check out.

Place: spacious with lots of seating Service: friendly,…read moreprompt, great. Parking: shared with many surrounding businesses but there are plenty of spots around. Food: super delicious! We love the batter that isn't too thick on wings and this place totally hits the spot. Their garlic honey wings and cheese wings are our favorites. They come with small sides of Korean pickled radishes. Our kid loves the carbonara pasta here. We've come back many times (and order from doordash) and the quality has been consistently good since day 1. As long as they don't change their chicken wings batter and sauce, we'll be their forever repeat customers. Two little things we wish they had are: an option for 10 wings and more wing combos.

Parking is fine for the area and the check out staff are always quick and efficient. I always make sure to grab Ito green tea, Nisshin Canola Oil, and whatever spices I'm running low on. It's also great for picking up rice crackers or an occasional bag of frozen food--there really is so much to browse and buy here. The best part of the trip, though? The prepared foods. If you are ever craving a ready-to-eat meal, their selection is fantastic and makes for an easy, delicious lunch or dinner

This is my second Time at Tokyo central and my first time at this location in Costa Mesa…read more It is a big market with absolutely everything you can imagine. From the seafood department to the meat department, to the produce department. And so much more. Everything looks fresh and the displays are well presented. I've never been to Japan but i can imagine that i would find a lot of the same products in a Japanese market in Japan. The store is lively with a nice energy. The service is friendly. I did not purchase anything this time as i was accompanying some friends but I recommend checking it out.

This place is AWESOME!!…read more Food: My son got the chicken and waffles but they were so nice that they did chicken strips instead of what they usually do which is chicken breast. My husband also got the chicken and waffles but he got the chicken breasts. I got the pesto pasta and they were running a special where the pasta was half off and half the portion which was perfect for me. Our drinks were also delicious - we got nonalcoholic drinks. Service: Our waitress did an awesome job! She took great care of us! Ambiance: They had a live musician, he was great! They also had the games on and as soon as you walk in and on the way to your seats the host asked us which game we wanted to watch and we told her and she sat us where we had the perfect view of the game! Thank you, Mama's! We will definitely be back!!

What a fun place. I had seen Mama's on 39 before but never had the opportunity to stop by. I am so…read moreglad we did. My friend recommended it and so we decided to go check it out. It was on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was buzzing with activity. There were plenty of people sitting at the bar, and a lot of the tables had multiple people in their parties. We got seated right away, and it only took moments for our server to come by and ask us about drinks. We both ordered a couple ice teas and water, and enjoyed the ambiance. One of the nice things about this place is it definitely has a hometown vibe to it. Like seriously, you feel like you are in someone's home rather than a restaurant. The food came to the table very quickly, and it was very delicious! My friend had the tuna melt and a side salad, it looked huge! You definitely get your bang for the buck here! I opted for something slightly lighter, so I ordered the half Caesar salad with chicken. Chicken. Let me tell you something, I'm glad I ordered the small cuz I can't imagine how huge this salad would be as a large! The chicken breast on top nearly covered the entire bowl of salad! And it was absolutely delicious. The service was top notch, the ambiance was great, and the food was outstanding! They even had some party going on in the back, with just added to the excitement of the place. And on the way out, I noticed they had a thrifty ice cream shop right in the restaurant! So you could grab yourself a single double or triple scoop cone! Bottom line? You cannot go wrong with this place. If you've never been and you're a local, what the heck? You are definitely missing out. If you are in the Huntington Beach area, you definitely have to go to Mama's on 39.

There's patio seating that overlooks the ocean and additional seating right outside of the restaurant in the food hall. The ordering process is simple; if you order a poke bowl, you would fill out a piece of paper indicating your base, choice of poke, toppings, and sauce, and you hand it to the cashier. They have a display of the fish that they offer which helps if you are deciding what to choose. Service is friendly and efficient. I ordered a poke bowl with white rice, 1/4 lb of salmon, 4 toppings (crunchy chili garlic, furikake, pickled ginger, and seaweed salad), and Tommy sauce. The rice was cooked fine and wasn't mushy. However, I think that the salmon was a bit mushy and not as fresh as I hoped. 1/4 lb of salmon is pretty generous though and was a good amount of fish. The toppings were fresh--I just wished that I hadn't gotten the crunchy chili garlic. Wasn't bad, but didn't elevate my poke bowl how I wanted. Also wished that I could have chosen more toppings. The Tommy sauce is their special sauce that's like mayo and is quite flavorful. The poke bowl is on the pricier end, so I probably wouldn't get that if I were to come back but would probably try a burrito instead.
