The staff were nice and you mainly order at the kiosk up front! The interior was smaller than I thought it was, so theres only a bit of seating inside. We ordered the Vegetarian Sisig and the Vegetable Lumpia! The sisig was absolutely delicious! I really loved the bit of atchara it came with and what sauce the vegetables were coated in. The crema on top was also a nice touch of flavor! The vegetable lumpia took me by surprise because it wasn't a typical filling for vegetable lumpia I've usually had. It looked like it had squash and green beans in it and Im not sure what else. It was pretty good though! I will say it is a bit on pricier side and the portions aren't too big. Overall, great experience and the food was superb!

I found Blind Dog Hifi and Records because I was looking for a record store that would…read moreprofessionally flatten my records. Upon a quick Google search for the Orange County area I found Blind Dog. I had received some records in the mail recently that were warped in transit and wanted to see if someone could help me out. I first called them a little after their open time to see if I could inquire and confirm the price, but there was no answer. I decided let's go ahead and visit the store because I'm not too far away. Showed up about 12:30 PM to a store with lights off and the front door locked. Business hours were clearly posted on the door showing 11 to 6 for a Saturday. I also double checked Yelp and Instagram and they both showed the same thing. I was really disappointed because I was wanting to get opinions on if it was worth it to flatten my records and they were closed in the middle of their business hours. I ended up going right across the street to Port of Sound Records and they were phenomenal with their assistance. Better luck next time then, Blind Dog?

Recently bought a vinyl from eBay that needed a deep clean. The vinyl was in rough shape when I…read morereceived it. After multiple attempts at hand cleaning it, a good amount of crackling lingered. After looking at a couple options I settled on trying out Blind Dog's cleaning service. They offer an ultrasonic cleaning for records so thought I'd give them a shot. Mark was very helpful and quick to take care of my vinyl, and the price was fair for a double LP. The cleaning has increased the clarity for this record by a wide margin. Some crackling still remains, but probably have to accept that's from damage. Overall very happy with the service provided; glad my record could be restored to the point of enjoyable listening. Also an awesome shop to browse around. Clean, spacious and well organized. Will definitely come by again to pick up some records down the road.

Parking isn't the best but there is a small lot in back that is available. We ordered the Chai and Honey Latte. The Chai latte was well balanced, not overly sweet or overpowering. The Honey Latte was bright and had a hint of honey but the milk overpowered the espresso. Another downside was that they didn't have almond milk (not sure if they don't carry it regularly or if it was just the day we came that they didn't have it). Prices are a tad inflated. The service was quick but not the most friendly/welcoming.

Since then, I've picked up multiple speakers, amps, turntables, and a ridiculous amount of vinyl. And let me tell you--there's no one I trust more than Mike Rose when it comes to building the perfect setup. The guy knows high-end audio, jazz, rock--you name it--better than anyone I've met. But it's more than just knowledge. He actually listens--not just to the gear, but to what you want out of your system. No sales pressure. No gimmicks. Just straight-up passion and expertise. I moved out of state a few years ago, but every time I'm back in town, I make it a point to stop by--whether it's to pick up an album (or a few) or to grab more gear that he can drop-ship to me wherever I am. My latest visit reminded me of something important--it was long overdue to leave this review. If you care about killer sound and honest advice--do yourself a favor and visit Excel Audio. You won't find a better place or a better guy to guide you.

And it's not like I spent my small budget overnight, it took months for me to identify the right speakers, and another year to save up for and pick out the right receiver and amps. Yes, it was a very big deal to me, and even though it seemingly shouldn't have been for them, they made me feel important and they were always eager to share their insight and advice. Or the best part, demo products at their insanely cool showroom! To top it off, they went above and beyond and hand-delivered my equipment and still treated me with 100% respect when I changed my mind on the amp after taking delivery. These guys seriously treat you like a valued customer for life.

Some said they couldn't do it, some shops didn't look like they would do a great job, but luckily I found Sorena on Yelp and checked out their work on their Instagram and gave them a try.

I am so pleased with the final result because the look is super clean, wiring was hidden and professionally done, and everything was completed sooner than I was anticipating. Their shop is very clean, which is always a great sign of people who are precise and pay attention to the details, and I drove away a happy customer. They also do other work/service such as starlights in the ceiling, interior ambient lighting, wraps, audio and sound systems, and they also carry dash cams as well. I definitely recommend them for their outstanding work and service, if I could give higher than 5 stars, I would.

I scheduled the appointment to have a 12.3 Android Car Play unit in my Mercedes-Benz.

The shop is meticulously maintained and has a vast array of tools, work bench areas, awesome LED ceiling lighting, a waiting area, front office and conference/training room. This shop and team of professionals are a class act. Arian explained the installation process and timeline and I was quite impressed. The Rolls Royce in the shop that was getting customized with lighting and sound was a testament to the quality of work that Arian, Sam and the other team members provide when you bring your car into the shop. Arian called me when the car was completed and when I arrived gave me a very thorough orientation on the features, modes and operational functionality of the new unit. Very impressive and truly a plus when you have such a professional take the time to show you the details and functions of the new unit. Sam was in the shop as well as was amazing. Great customer service! These guys not only know their business and have vast knowledge of car Audio and accessories but are transparent, kind and informative professionals. Sam showed me the lighting in the Rolls Royce and also a few options that can be installed on the Mercedes-Benz. I opted for the very nice AMG entry lighting. Very cool. If you are looking for the best in the business relative to car Audio, Video and accessories you must call Sorena Car Audio and speak with Sam or Arian. This is my second review which I am labeling Phase II completion, as I did review them previously after initial contact simply due to the professionalism, knowledge, customer service and other posted industry reviews. Sorena is simply the best and I highly recommend this amazing team of professionals.

Chris does great work... if you can ever get him to finish it…read more He came out right away to consult on two consoles I had with separate problems. He replaced the capacitor for one, and took the turntable for the other with him to fix. He brought it back the next day repaired. The work for both was over a thousand... maybe 1200 or so. Fast, efficient. Worth it... if it had ended there. But it didn't. The console with the replaced capacitor still had the same problem and the turntable had a new issue and wasn't playing out of one channel. These things happen, no problem... so I texted Chris this, and he would occasionally get back to me but would not commit to come out and finish the work. After months of this I started to get worried. Finally, two or three months later of hounding him constantly, I got him to come out to at least fix the turntable - but only AFTER I had diagnosed the issue myself (was simply a loose wire in the cartridge that needed soldering) and told him not to worry about the second console for now (which he said he'd have to take into his shop since he had no room) if that was what was preventing him from coming out. That worked. He came. Soldered the one wire and one player was working fully. I was happy for at least that. We discussed having him take the other console into his shop in a month or so when he had room and finish what he started... I knew there would extra costs and told him so. Nevertheless, he has stopped responding to any communication from me at all since that day. That was months ago now. Judging by other reviews on here about Chris ghosting them, I fear that is the treatment I'm getting and it's the last I've heard from him. I'll have to find someone else to finish the work I suppose.
