I think in the future, I would order a French roll. The quality of the meat was very good and I prefer the thick cut that they provide of the pastrami meat. There are a lot of sandwich choices that look really tasty. The staff was friendly and efficient. They work well together. The ambiance is average. There are handful of places to sit and a good selection of chips and drinks. They put a fresh cookie in with my to go sandwich order.

Services were great honestly and the cafe is such a cute vibe Tamago sandwich 4/5: this one is HUGE! For $15, it comes with a big sandwich good enough for share and a salad on the side. I wish the salad comes with sauce or something it was straight up just salad. The sandwich was great, comes with TONS of eggs, creamy and yummy Latte 5/5: wow! Tastes exactly like sesame, the drink was refreshing and Creamy! It comes with the creamy and drizzle of sesame that i thought was really unique

Brio Brio's drinks are so yummy! I love their matcha here. I've also tried their hojicha, which I…read morepreviously haven't had. I also like their pastries (made with Hokkaido flour)! The bread is so soft. I like their chashu sando and it comes with a tasty salad. The only reasons why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they're a bit pricey and it can be difficult to find somewhere to sit (since it gets pretty crowded, rightfully so).

My husband and I have been coming to Board & Brew for about two years, and we still love it. We…read moreusually order two different sandwiches so we can share and try both. My favorite is definitely the Baja Wrap with the secret sauce--it's so good, and I always look forward to it. The atmosphere is one of the reasons we keep coming back. It's a comfortable place to relax, enjoy a great meal, and catch a soccer game on the big screen at the bar. Everyone on the staff is always friendly and welcoming which makes the experience even better. Great place!

Got pastrami dip sandwich, small bowl of chili, tuna melt sandwich and large fries…read more Their pastrami is sliced super thin and not salty like other places. I could only eat half. Nice size. Last time we ordered the pastrami chili cheese fries. That order was massive and fed at least 4 people. This time we got bowl of chili on the side. Chili was bland, needed salt. We used it to dip with the fries to make our own version of chili cheese fries. Overall, decent quality quick meal and large portion.

This is the worst Hat location I've been to. First the man at the register forgot to give us our…read moredrinks. Second he got our order wrong, it had to be remade. Third the gravey tasted horrible. It tasted like it was concentrate only and it was incredibly salty. Fourth, there was a woman cleaning the tables but nobody taking out the overfilled trash in both trash cans inside the restaurant. Who wants to sit and eat next to a dump. Not going back to this location again. So far all the others have done it right.

Please tell me, OC: why isn't Rose Cafe on the #BeastEats list?…read more This was, by far, the freshest burger I've ever had. The lettuce was perfect, the avocado was perfect, and there were plenty of pickles for all the pickle lovers out there.

This place always delivers great flavor, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. It's a shame that…read moreit's in such a broken down area of stores that are failing. It's inside of a very small courtyard that used to have a couple more shops and dance studios. There's even a large 24 hour fitness which turned into a different fitness center that you would think would help pump up the area, but I think that fitness place is also closed. The courtyard that second reef deli is located in has spaces for a handful of interesting food spots and could be a great place for people to socialize and hang out. There is a Mexican restaurant called flamingos located just behind the courtyard but I think that's more of a nighttime spot although they are open at 11 AM for lunch. With regards to the sandwiches at second deli, you really can't go wrong. The Sandwiches are all names of surf spots. I love that they serve sprouts and squaw bread which is really hard to find. The #11 Padang is really popular for the hot sandwiches as well as one called Blacks. That's a tuna melt! The Brooks on squaw and the Mavericks which comes on squaw are my favorite go to choices for cold sandwiches. I hope they continue to thrive in this location and that it improves around them. I've been a customer of theirs for at least 10 years!

It's a simple, easy seat-yourself spot where you grab your own utensils and condiments. The food came out really fast--I even had time to use the restroom while we waited. My fiancé ordered the soufflé pancakes with fresh strawberries and their strawberry cream. They were jiggly and soft, and not too sweet. It was like biting into a cloud. I got the country fried steak, egg, and cheddar sandwich on a brioche bun with their home-fried potatoes. I was expecting a bit more, but the gravy really saved it. Pro tip: ask for extra gravy. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd love to try more of their menu. I'd recommend this place to anyone willing to give it a try.

Decent brunch if you're into soufflé pancakes…read more Randomly picked this brunch spot when visiting Irvine and the breakfast quesadillas caught my eye. We parked in the plaza with plenty of parking spots available on a Saturday morning. There was a line out the door the entire time. Ordering is placed before we're seated. Seating is limited inside. Plenty of tables available in the shared patio area. There were a few active birds picking at the food from unattended tables. Ordering took about 10-15 minutes. The food came out pretty fast. Despite dining at the restaurant, they didn't have reusable tableware. I'd assume because customers might accidentally throw them away. The soufflé pancakes didn't surprise me. I think I've had better, or due to the extreme heat, the berry sauce was slightly warm and melting. If you're a fan of breakfast burritos, the breakfast quesadilla is basically the same thing in a different shape. The standout was the avocado aioli dipping sauce. It's just as good as my favorite breakfast burrito place - Wake and Late. The potatoes were nicely seasoned with a variety of spices and crispy. I'm a fan. I'd recommend the breakfast quesadilla, but wouldn't drive out of my way to come here.
