    poke bagel, veggie bagel, kbbq bagel sandwich
    Erin K.

    This was my first time visiting and it was great ! The man taking our orders was very helpful when we had questions about the bagels and schmears. The poke bagel was so good! We got it on a furikake bagel with the sesame shoyu poke. It had so much poke on it! I also loved the cucumber and the imitation crab on it. I have never had anything like this. The tomato bagel was also good. I got it with the pista pesto schmear. The schmear was amazing, it complimented the tomato really well. I also appreciated how the tomato was seasoned and I liked the thinly sliced onions on it. I would definitely like to go back to try different things!

    Decent bagels but the real star is their cream cheese. I really enjoyed how creative they were especially with the ube, yuzu and fried chicken. Their chicken bake was very similar to the Costco chicken bake with more chicken. However, for the price point, the Costco chicken bake is a more economical deal. Very nice staff and they validate 90 minutes. You do have to park in the structure as it's in those business complexes. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

    Seems to be a Korean fusion bagel sandwich shop in an upscale business complex by the equinox. Parking is a bit tricky. You need to make sure you park at the structure closest to the shop to be able to get validation. If you go across where I happened to, it was couple of bucks per hour I believe. The menu has unique items like a kimchi bagel and interesting savory sandwich options. The worker told me the egg salad is one of the most popular so tried that along with the kbbq option. It's very filling so definitely shareable. Egg salad was pretty good and the furikake bagel it comes with is unique but it was a bit too much furikake for me. Kbbq was a bit too salty and messy to enjoy honestly but it wasn't bad taste. Other than that, I'm a bit disappointed in the bagels. To me, it's not a bagel. It doesn't have that same springy chew to it, so it definitely doesn't seem to be boiled before baking. Most likely just baked. But even baked bagels have a certain texture and taste? This almost felt like French bread. Feels misleading as a bagel shop but I get it that they are probably trying to do something unique here. It definitely is unique but just not to my taste.

    Nice outside patio for you to enjoy bagels

    First time here, you can park in the parking structure and they validate your ticket for you! It was a little hard to find due to many of the business signages being harder to see against the building color, but we found it, woohoo! We ordered 2 lox bagels on everything, 1 asian chicken salad on everything, 1 pb&j on cinnamon raisin, and 1 pepperoni pizza bagel - Lox: as some reviewers have mentioned, the citrus cure seemed to overpower the lox flavor/left us wanting more prevalent smoked salmon flavor. Capers would've been a great garnish. Tomatoes were fresh and juicy, pickled onions add a punch - Asian Chicken Salad: chicken was cooked great (not over or rubbery at all!), we all shared this one and we all were wanting more allium flavors or maybe even more salt- cilantro, more onions diced in, more green onions diced in, would've REALLY made the flavors pop. 2 friends out us 4 ranked this the least favorite. - PB&J: the surprise winner, it was delicious and really hit the spot! A friend was worried the cinnamon raisin would be way too sweet but nope, she said it was balanced and greatly made - Pepperoni Pizza Bagel: LOVED the crispy pepperoni cups. Ranch dip is a must and the hot honey was a favorite among our friends, I opted to enjoy it with just ranch. It made me want red pepper flakes + parmesan cheese so this was also a great bagel. - Bagels were on the lighter side which I personally like because I can enjoy cream cheese + toppings more. Many bagelries I've been to have thick bagels, which is great, but I get stuffed from all the dough (lol!), so I enjoyed the lighter bagels here, but they did seem a little over toasted, as in crisper/harder. Really wanted to share our honest experience here with the bagel flavors as Rise has gotten so popular. As few have mentioned, for the price, more exceptional flavor was anticipated, so it was a true 3.5/5 experience for me personally. They also do not allow any modifications whatsoever at all. We got there late, they close at 2 pm, but they let us know we can stay to eat, but we didn't want to keep them waiting due to us late stragglers so we went outside to eat and it was beautiful and really nice! Ample seating, beautiful view, just the occasional water sprinkling from the fountain(?) got on us and our bagels lol!

    Chicken salad, poke, lox, egg salad

    Very unique and tasty bagel options. I've never had poke or chicken salad on a bagel and i was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted! The bagel texture is also soft and chewy. I would definitely come back to try the other menu items. The service is quick and the workers are friendly. Good amount of seating inside and outside. It's located inside an office building area. FYI- they validate parking if you park in the parking structure right next to the restaurant.

    Kbbq
    Linh P.

    Came on a sat afternoon & there was a pretty long line. A worker came by to give us a sample of pog juice which I thought was nice! We got the Egg Sando & Kbbq. Both were so good! I do wish the Egg Sando had a bit more salt, but that's just my preference. I loved the flavor of the kbbq, the kimchi & cucumber gave the sandwich a nice tangy taste. They also offer parking validation, so make sure to ask!

    Smash Burger
    Liz T.

    Absolute game-changer for the OC bagel scene! I am completely obsessed with Rise Bagels. They are completely reinventing what a bagel can be. The hand-rolled dough is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I tried their viral Tokyo 7/11 egg salad bagel with a jammy egg, and it blew my mind! The flavor combinations are so creative and absolutely delicious --especially the KBBQ, the smash burger, and the strawberry bagel. I couldn't choose a favorite; I would honestly get them all again, and I also want to try the rest of their menu as well as their desserts! The ingredients are clearly super fresh and high-quality and the staff is beyond friendly, attentive, and wonderful. Do yourself a favor and get a guava drink or matcha drink too! Highly recommend checking them out. You won't be disappointed. The location is gorgeous to sit outside and it's super aesthetic and clean inside. I was catching up with a friend, and they were so sweet and didn't rush is out. They validate parking which is super nice, but I was actually able to park in the free visitor 2 hour parking without a problem on a Saturday afternoon.

    Lox bagel
    Lucia L.

    Talk about ba-GOALS! As someone who's tried quite a bit of the LA bagel scene, I was so excited to try @risebagels - the newest concept from Chef John Park and Jeff Tran, and you can definitely tell the love and care they pour into their business with their thoughtful menu and personable customer service. Their menu specializes in small-batch, hand-rolled, boiled bagels baked fresh daily, with creative takes on cream cheese schmears (including ube, tom yum curry, yuzu, chili crisp and more!), as well as innovative, elevated bagel sandwiches. My favorites were their poke and lox bagels, which feature VERY fresh fish, as well as their new birria bagel sandwich, comes with birria, Fritos, taco toppings, and even consome to dip! Despite just opening half a year ago, Rise is already making waves -- recently winning a (in my opinion) very well-deserved Best of the West and Most Creative at Bagel Fest! Definitely make sure to check them out if you're in the Irvine area for some of the BEST bagels I've had in OC!

    1. The bulgogi bake is unique and delicious! I also love the flavors of the cookie! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior has a lot of space! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! The bake was ready after 10 mins! 4. There are parking structures! 5. There are outdoor and indoor tables! There are a lot of tables! Note: There is a restroom available for customers! Photo: Bulgogi Bake and Ube Blueberry Snickerdoodle Cookie

    After so many people recommending this spot, we decided to go for a Saturday morning breakfast with our son. When we got there, we realized it's an office park but read some reviews and saw that the connecting parking structure validates for 1.5 hours. My husband got the breakfast sando while I went with the poke and both were amazing!! The poke was so fresh and bursting with different flavors and the breakfast sandwich was hearty and filling. Neither of us could finish ours as these are packed to the max! There were so many other sandwiches that I wanted to try so will have to come back to explore some more. The location is perfect for toddlers on Saturdays with the place pretty empty and plenty of space to roam. We might have found our new Saturday morning spot for the family and can't wait to return!

    one fish
    Maricel S.

    I've tried a lot of bagel spots, but Rise Bagels in Irvine really stands out. I've had both the One Fish and the Tokyo 7/11, and they each bring something unique to the table. As someone who loves a good lox bagel, the One Fish was a highlight for me. The yuzu kosho adds this light, citrusy kick that makes the whole thing feel super fresh and balanced. Overall, I love supporting Asian owned businesses, and this is definitely one bagel spot to keep on your radar if you're in Irvine! :D

    Joyce L.

    Rise Bagels is nestled in a business park. You can park in the structure and walk a short distance to this place. We wanted to try this place because of the Korean inspired bagel sandos and bake. We ordered the kbbq bagel (egg, cheese, bulgogi, braised kimchi, sesame leaf, sweet soy pickled radish, cucumber kimchi, and ssamjang schmear on a sesame bun). It was a little sweet for me but had great flavor! The lox bagel had an amazing lemony kick and the breakfast sando (eggs, cheese, schmear, and sausage on an everything bagel) hit the spot! The bagels were flavorful, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside- perfect! We got the ube blueberry snickerdoodle cookie and the yuzu poppyseed snickerdoodle cookie to go. How could we not??!! Give this place a try!

    Poke bagel & chicken salad bagel
    Katrina C.

    I really like the location of the store, huge patio area, and they do parking validations. The bagel was super solid, they definitely load up on the toppings. But the bagel itself, not sure if it was just mine but it was a little bit tough, not the best I've ever had but I love that they have fun bagel flavors like furikake! The poke was definitely my favorite, it tasted extremely fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend it

The service was friendly, though understandably a bit slow because of the constant crowd. The line may look intimidating at first, but it's mostly because orders take a while to prepare rather than an overwhelming number of customers. If you visit, make sure you have plenty of time and don't mind being in a crowded space. The drinks were good overall, but definitely on the sweeter side for my taste. I'd recommend asking for less sugar or using an unsweetened oat milk option if available, since even the milk seemed to add quite a bit of sweetness. One thing that was concerning was the seating. One of the chairs at our table was already damaged, and a member of our group unexpectedly fell backward when it gave out. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt, but it was a scary experience. We showed the staff that the chair had already been broken. The chairs are quite small and delicate, so I'd suggest checking your seat before sitting down and being a little cautious. Overall, it's a nice spot if you're looking for a cute café and don't mind waiting, but I'd recommend visiting during a less busy time and customizing your drink if you prefer it less sweet.
