    Flat Cut Chicken Kabob Plate
    Ajay G.

    My first time here and I had an amazing experience! Alex helped me order and suggested the chicken plate so I went with that. It was phenomenal. Chicken is very tender and sauces are full of flavor! Food came out quick, staff is super helpful, and the menu has a lot of exciting options. Can't wait to come back here and try the other sides.

    This restaurant is situated in the Irvine Market Palace. I appreciated how fresh all the ingredients were, and the service was both fast and friendly. While the portions are on the smaller side, and it's perhaps not the most authentic Mediterranean cuisine I've tried, it's still a good option for lunch!

    BYOB BOWL! With lamb and beef gyro meat
    Tiffany A.

    Another delicious catering delivered from Luna grill! Their koobideh kabob is soooo freaking good. It's hard to order from anywhere else when I know how delicious their grass fed koobideh is. Every ingredient is consistently fresh and my coworkers also mentioned the food was exceptional.

    For international students in the US, eating is harder than exams. In the difficulty coefficient of survival, the technical skill of ordering takeout far surpasses most open-note multiple-choice exams--especially when you're like me, without a driver's license, confining your radius of activity to a five-scooter battery, while your stomach yearns for the simple pleasures of life. Wandering through UTC, I was drawn to a colorful Greek grill. After a $200 dive into the unknown, I gradually figured out the survival rules of Luna Grill. Their signature chicken breast seems to be a test of willpower, specially designed for fitness enthusiasts. As I stared at this pale, stubborn piece of protein, I suddenly understood why bullfrogs are so fond of sharing inspirational quotes--without a bit of mental fortitude, it's truly hard to reconcile with a texture that's tough yet not tender, and dry yet not fragrant. As a non-fitness person, my first impulse after finishing was to bow in salute to all my friends who lift weights. Their rice, on the other hand, is a modern art form in the world of grains. It's neither as soft and glutinous as Asian rice nor as loose as basmati. Every grain maintains its stubborn independence, as if declaring to you: "We refuse to be defined, and we refuse to be cooked." This semi-raw texture, paired with the equally eccentric chickpea fritters, is like participating in an obstacle course in your mouth. It's hard to swallow, and hard to spit out. But the most exciting part is the sauce blind box. The Harissa sauce is like a watercolor painting where the artist mistakenly used chili powder as paint, and the Garlic Fetta is just pungent. That is, until I met Tzatziki--the yogurt sauce mixed with chopped cucumber, which finally became a sanctuary for my taste buds. Paired with the burrata salad hiding peaches and pecans, it's a perfect balance of sweet and savory, bringing maximum happiness. I finally get it: ordering at Luna Grill is like choosing classes; you can't just rely on the course description, you have to check the reviews. But compared to the perpetually soggy takeout fries (a sincere suggestion: fry lovers, just navigate directly to In-N-Out), at least the shrimp and grilled vegetables here can help me maintain a basic love for life.

    Santorini Bowl, chicken protein
    Anna A.

    I love Mediterranean food so getting their Santorini bowl was a great option! Their pearled couscous was especially delicious. It is, however, a little on the pricier side!

    Luna Grill at University Center is a solid spot for Mediterranean food, though the dining space is pretty small and often filled with UCI students studying. There can be a line, but ordering ahead on the app makes things much easier. The portions here are huge, so definitely come hungry or plan to take leftovers. Great option for a quick and filling meal!

    First time trying Vibe after a friend's recommendation, and it did not disappoint! There were so…read moremany great options, but we ultimately went with the Bombay Bowl and the Mediterranean Bowl. ​The Bombay Bowl was packed with flavor, which came in a coconut cashew curry with cauliflower, garbanzos, broccoli, purple cabbage, and a delicious turmeric slaw. ​The Mediterranean Bowl was also refreshing and perfect for lunch. It was loaded with diced cucumber, tomato, avocado, homemade hummus, black lentils, and pickled onion, and finished with tahini drizzle. You have the options to add additional protein or sauces for an upcharge. We opted to add the Maui Nui Venison. ​As a plus, everything came packed in nice reusable lunch bags. We'll definitely be back.

    My visit to Vibe Organic Kitchen & Juice in Newport Beach left me feeling exactly the way the name…read morepromises--lighter, energized, and genuinely impressed. I've been to plenty of health‑forward cafés, but Vibe stands out for its freshness, its creativity, and the way it manages to make clean eating feel exciting rather than restrictive. The moment I walked in, I felt that signature Newport Beach ease. The space is bright and airy, with a clean, modern aesthetic that instantly puts you in a good mood. Natural light pours in, the décor leans toward minimalist coastal, and everything feels intentionally fresh. It's the kind of place where you want to sit down, take a breath, and enjoy something nourishing. There's a calm energy to the space--busy enough to feel lively, but never chaotic. The service at Vibe is exactly what you hope for in a wellness‑focused café. The staff is upbeat, welcoming, and genuinely helpful when it comes to navigating the menu. They strike that perfect balance of being quick without making you feel rushed. Even during busier moments, everything moves smoothly, and the team seems to truly enjoy what they do. Every dish I tried tasted incredibly fresh. The flavors were bright, the textures balanced, and nothing felt overly heavy or overly "health‑food‑ish." Vibe manages to hit that sweet spot where you feel good about what you're eating without sacrificing enjoyment. Whether it's a hearty bowl, a crisp salad, or one of their warm entrées, everything feels thoughtfully composed. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming. The juices and smoothies are a highlight. They're vibrant, clean, and free of that overly sweet, artificial taste you sometimes get elsewhere. Each blend feels purposeful--balanced, refreshing, and energizing. It's the kind of drink you finish and immediately feel better for having had. Vibe Organic Kitchen & Juice is one of those Newport Beach spots that makes healthy eating feel joyful. The bright, modern space sets the tone, the service is warm and efficient, and the food is consistently fresh and flavorful.
