Bottom Line Up Front: If you like Greek food but don't want…read moreto pay big bucks at an traditional sit-down restaurant, Apola can be your yummy, budget-friendly alternative. The Food: Let me start by saying this is clearly an American take on Greek food, so if you're looking for super authentic food, look elsewhere. But if you're OK with a fusion, Apola will satisfy your Mediterranean craving. There are gyros (pita wraps), bowls, combo plates, and burritos (see, there's that American take I was talking about). All of them range in quality from average to really good. Though I've been here several times, I'll focus on my last visit when we got "the Works" pita wrap and a Greek salad bowl. For the Works, it comes with all the fixings, your choice of protein, and fries stuffed inside (yes, inside, not as a side). I chose beef-and-lamb gyro meat, which came in a huge portion. (Pro Tip: I pulled the fries out and got a "free" side. Of course , there's not a lot of fries, but enough to satisfy my fried food craving.) The gyro was big and tasty. For the Greek salad bowl, we also got beef-and-lamb gyro meat. Once again, they hooked it up with the quantity. Nice! The ingredients (tomatoes, cucumber, feta, etc) were all fresh and seasoned nicely. Side note: I do find it odd that they call this dish a salad bowl when it comes in a rectangular plastic tray. But semantics aside, it was quite good. I also ordered a fountain drink and got a Coke. It was nice a crisp with a lot of carbonation. Just the way I like it. It's not as good as the exclusive Coke blend at McDonald's, but was a close second. I have had some pretty watered down Cokes at other places in recent years. The Service: There were two young gentlemen working the last time I visited, and they were both friendly and knowledgeable. They even brought our meals to our table, which was a nice touch for a fast food establishment. The Setting: It's located inside the recently revamped Yorba Linda Downtown, which has revitalized the area and made it a pleasant place to hang out. Unfortunately, on weekends, it's hard to find parking sometimes. Fortunately we came on a weekday and got parking nearby. Inside, Apola is clean and tidy with roughly enough tables and chairs for a variety of party sizes. The Conclusion: Apola offers good Mediterranean-inspired food for a reasonable price (compared to other restaurants these days) -- just don't expect it to be 100% authentic Greek food. It's not perfect and not super cheap, but with the right expectations set, I plan to return on semi-regular basis.

Delicious fast casual breakfast in Brea!…read more Got me a chorizo burrito and it was packed with crispy fries, chorizo, egg and a I believe a chipotle aioli. Also came with a delightful red and green salsa that felt fresh and provided a nice contrast to the meat potato and eggs. Def stop here if you need a quick tasty breakfast!

After my family raved about the amazing breakfast burritos they had at EggBred (without me, I might…read moreadd :\ ), I decided it was past time for me to check them out too. The menu has a nice variety of breakfast/brunch items ranging from hearty burritos to burgers and eggs Benedict. When I spotted cheddar chive biscuits and gravy on the menu, I knew I'd have to try them, because well, comfort food! To add more nutritional value to it I add 2 over easy eggs and a side of sausage to round out my meal. The biscuits were light and fluffy and the cheddar and chives added an extra layer of flavor; topped with a generous serving of nicely seasoned gravy, I was in comfort food heaven. They correctly guessed that I was going to layer the eggs onto the biscuits, and they thoughtfully did that for me. The only thing that I wasn't expecting was for the sausage to be a patty instead of links, which I prefer. Ordering was easily done at the counter and your order is brought to your table when it's ready. The guy working the front was friendly and helpful in answering questions. The restaurant itself has a nice and clean dining room that is arranged nicely without feeling crowded. It would be a nice place to work or study a bit after your meal. So I was pretty happy with my first visit to EggBred in Placentia. Next time I have my eye on a build a Benny.

Everything was absolutely superb! You can really taste the quality of their house-made tortillas and house-marinated meats. Plus, the portions are huge! The restaurant was packed, and it is easy to see why. The vine is super cool with lively high energy social atmosphere! Since it was so busy, we initially ordered our food to-go because there were no open seats. However, the coolest guy at the register (I forgot to ask his name!) went above and beyond. He asked us to wait a moment and personally got a table ready so we could dine in. His phenomenal service, knowledge, and great personality truly topped off our experience. All the servers were outstanding!! Watch out Que Vida, your new regulars!! See you tomorrow!!!

If you're looking for Japanese curry cubes - they have it! If you want rice that is actually grown and harvested in Japan - they have it! If you want any type of sauce used in Japanese cuisine - if you can't find it here, then it's highly unlikely that you'll find it somewhere else. Long story short - this is an actual Japanese grocery store - not just by name, but by products and by smell :). The staff leave a lot to be desired in terms of interaction and customer service, but that seems to be standard with many foreign inspired grocery stores. This may be their original location, because it does seem quite old and dated, but you'll enjoy your time regardless if you're into Japanese things. p.s. after 7pm, fresh sushi is 20% off and it goes quick.

Sometimes you just need a good old-school sandwich shop, and The Hat absolutely hits that spot…read more Food came out QUICK and everything was good. We went with the chili cheese dog, pastrami, and a large onion rings. First of all... LARGE MEANS LARGE HERE. The amount of onion rings they gave us was absolutely insane for two people. We barely made a dent in them. Small order next time! The pastrami was piled high, the chili cheese dog was loaded, and everything had that classic no-frills comfort-food feel to it. Also, honorable mention to the RANCH. When the ranch is good, it deserves recognition. The atmosphere completes the experience too. It has that classic old-school sandwich shop vibe that feels like it hasn't needed to change because it already knows exactly what it is. Good food, fast service, massive portions. Definitely coming back, just ordering the SMALL onion rings next time.

Not sure if the changes recently are permanent or they're having an off day. I arrived on a weekday…read moreevening and ordered a pastrami which is my favorite sammie here. The order taker at the counter was friendly and the sammie was up within five minutes. Much to my surprise when I opened it, the pastrami was certainly not what I'm used to. The pastrami portion was light on weight and portion was skimpy looking. The roll seemed less dense than prior visits. Overall, I hope these changes at The Hat aren't for good since I can't be the only patron whose noticed these changes.

The restaurant has plenty of inside seating and a very nice covered patio area for outdoor dining. Orders are placed at the counter and brought to your table when it's ready. All of the employees we interacted with today were all friendly and helpful. The menu has SO many delicious sounding choices that I will have to make several return visits to try them all! But for today I chose their prosciutto & chicken panini. The sandwich was perfectly pressed and generously filled with carved chicken and all sorts of yummy goodness. This particular dish also had honey roasted almonds sprinkled inside, giving it a very surprisingly nice added crunch. I've been to all the other restaurants in this shopping center and Mendocino Farms is by far the BEST of them all. I've already made plans to come back next week :)

I've always enjoyed the food at Mendocino Farms, but today's experience at the Brea location gave…read moreme a whole new reason to keep coming back. I had a board retreat that was supposed to be catered by Mendocino Farms, but due to an error, our catering order was never placed. With a room full of people expecting lunch and little time to find a solution, I called the restaurant hoping they could help. Jordan immediately went into problem-solving mode. She checked whether they could accommodate a last-minute catering order and even consulted her manager. Although they didn't have the necessary catering supplies, Jordan worked with me to find another option: individual sandwich and salad orders. The team rushed to prepare everything so I could pick it up and make it back to the retreat in time. They absolutely saved the day. The food was phenomenal, as always, but the service truly earned this review. Jordan and the team didn't cause the problem, yet they went above and beyond to help solve it. Everyone enjoyed lunch, and what could have been a major issue became a success. I'll continue coming back for my own meals, and Mendocino Farms Brea will be at the top of my list for future events. Great food earns return visits; service like this earns loyalty. Thank you to Jordan and the entire team for coming through when we needed it. An easy five stars.

This In N Out is super popular and pushes out a lot of volume…read more Then again, don't they all! Haha. What I like about this larger location is the many outdoor tables they have on two sides of the restaurant. My partner and I ordered Double Doubles with grilled onions. Mine was protein style, aka lettuc wrapped and his regular. He also got a fry and drink and I was fine with water. The price to dine there is always far cheaper than other fast food chains. I really liked the signage they had in the women's restroom.

Food is great, but that goes without saying…read more What makes In-N-Out superior is the friendly staff at the counter and the hard workers preparing fresh burgers and fries. Simple with a 50s style theme. Still affordable in an era where everything is expensive.

As a food truck owner selling Korean BBQ fusion tacos and burritos at the bustling food truck…read morescenes(20+ trucks in one location everyday) of Washington DC back in the early 2010's, their bibim burtito should not be added to their menu. The sticky rice aka the medium grain rice consumed mostly by the Korean and the Japnese does not do well in the burritos. Their shrimp burger is so tasty that you start craving again after eating one. I can't imagine a shrimp patty made of rather shrimp paste as mentioned by someone who left a one star review. Looks like someone is so used to dining at the Dimsum restaurants. Lotteria does not have to be a Dimsum burger joint. Wish they had their most basic plain burger without any sauce added for those who do not like any sauce in their burgers.
