Zero regrets. The Plot's vegan brunch is everything I want in a weekend meal: fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that post-brunch food coma. I leave feeling amazing, not weighed down, and somehow they pull it off without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. Everything tastes like it was made with actual care (and a little bit of magic). It's honestly one of my favorite brunch spots in Orange County. If you're someone who loves food that's both delicious and good for you, this place will hit every mark. ----------------- :( just saw they're permanently closed, so sad

I loveeee the Oceanside location so I was so happy when this location opened! Every dish is so extraordinary with so much thought put into every aspect of the plate. They use such amazing fresh ingredients & flavors that I never knew would pair well together. I've always had such great service no matter who it is working! Everyone is so kind and welcoming and makes the experience that much better. I also really like the location of this one. The Camp is such a cool spot, and it's interesting that the restaurant is shaped as a circle. The patio seating is so cute and cozy, I love the table with the fire pit on it. It's also dog friendly!! Please go and support! I love this restaurant and want to see it flourish

Since I was on my way to work when I picked it up, I didn't think to check the bag right away. When I opened it during my lunch break, I realized the protein was completely missing, which was such a bummer since that's a key part of the meal. The bowl itself was fresh, but missing such an important item made it feel incomplete and not worth what I paid. I understand mistakes happen, but this was frustrating, especially since I couldn't go back and fix it once I discovered it at work. Hoping they pay better attention to orders in the future.

Got the Buddha Burger with the venison patty to go. So flavorful and satisfying. YUM! Also got the Super Greens juice. I asked them to make it without the lemon or ginger and to add apple.

When I arrived to pay for my to go order, I saw the delicious looking banana bread and muffins, and couldn't resist. Glad I didn't! Delicious indeed and I can't believe they're gluten free!!!

And they come in an order of 4 that I wasn't prepared for but they were so good that I didn't have difficulty finishing 3, my husband ate the other. Loaded fries were a tasty app- the pico that's on it is very good and fresh. Shared the Date Shake with my husband, but regret not getting my own. The Au Lac curry was SO GOOD, I loved all the fresh veggies in it!! I want to try everything on this menu. Service was quick and very friendly.

It didn't feel like how it used to be, which made me a little sad since I really want to support local spots like this. The restaurant itself is very pretty and has a warm, cozy vibe.

Think Urban Plates, but with a sharper focus on lighter eating. The avocado caesar salad with grilled tofu is amazing. The avocado adds a different kind of creaminess to the dressing than a traditional caesar, and the tofu is firm and substantial. The produce quality is noticeably good across the board. My boyfriend had the Thai Wrap and enjoyed it. The vegan options here are solid and varied. Service is reasonable, slower than fast food, but nothing that tests you. The price is on the higher end for quick healthy eats, but the quality backs it up. If you're in the area and want a lunch that actually feels light, Flower Child is worth the stop.

It is a large restaurant that is beautifully decorated. You order at the front counter, and they bring you your food. We all ordered bowls. I had the Yaki Soba bowl with chicken. It was a delicious combination of so many flavors and textures. It was very tasty. My party ordered the Mother Earth bowl and the chicken enchilada bowl. Everyone ate every bite of their food. My only complaint is the portions are a bit on the tiny side. We want more food, please! The taste and freshness were excellent.

Checked on us multiple times in addition to letting us know additional specials not listed on the menu and checking on us before social hour ended. We got the short rib croquettes and the slider flight. All were excellent tasting. The short rib was tender and the potatoes were well seasoned. The burger was my favorite sandwich on the flight. It was tender and juicy and very flavorful. The pork belly sandwich was also nice. The Nashville hot chicken has a kick to it in case you like a bit of spice. The pricing was very reasonable as the flight was only $13. The food was so tasty that I will definitely be back for the social hour but I also want to try their usual menu as well. Parking is in a lot connected to the building. You'll need to grab the ticket to enter the structure but the restaurant validates parking.

For happy hour, there is a variety of familiar simple bites to choose from. We ordered the sliders flight which includes a normal cheeseburger, fried chicken, and pork belly. We also ordered the sea bass crudo which had a tangy, oceanic flavor, highlighting lightness and simplicity. The short rib croquettes were crispy on the outside and warm on the inside. The flavors of each dish did not stand out and was primarily bland, especially the sliders flight. To add, the sauce that was to be paired with the croquettes was extremely cheesy. When seated in the patio area by the hostess, we were not greeted by any waiter/waitress. The other servers who were tending to other parties did not even care to see if we were taken care of yet. I had to go inside and self-initiate a conversation with someone at the station to get our order moving along.

I have my regular dishes but I have pretty much tried a little of everything because I like to come with my girlfriends, work friends, and large date night groups. The ladies who serve us are so sweet, they always serve with a smile and go the extra mile when I bring new friends! I don't want to give my secrets away but the best time to go to Yoo's is right when they open or the off hours, so you can fully immerse yourself in the Korean food goodness!

There is nobody else standing in line outside and the owner comes outside to tell me 2 times that I need to wait 30-40 minutes. I told her there is no waiting in front of me, and that it should be first come, first serve. She says no, you can only sit on tables for 1 person and it will be a 30-40 min wait for that. I said okay, but if there is no line and people are done eating with empty tables it should be fine, right? There is a waitlist, and that it should go in order. She said no, you can only get seated on tables for 1. Then she proceeded to say it's a 30-40 min wait again as if I didn't already know that for the second time. I told her i'd wait, but now i'm feeling bad and don't know if she even cares to earn my business. It's my 5th time coming here, and unfortunately this place was one of my favorite Korean restaurants and since I'm from out of town I make sure to visit each time I am in the OC. I'm not sure if I want to continue coming back here if service remains this way. It's embarrassing enough to come alone, it's even worse when you're called out in front of people inside of the restaurant while there are only 3 people waiting outside. When I got seated she didn't even give me a menu and asked me what I wanted. Lucky for her i'm Korean and was already a repeat customer from the early days so I was able to order right away-otherwise how could I order? God forbid I ask for any recommendations on the menu... 1 star well deserved for this. Congratulations this is the first time I rated a fellow Korean restaurant 1 star. There is a first time for everything I suppose.

Here's the problem: quality control just isn't there anymore. I ordered a salad and the avocado on top was clearly rotten. Not slightly bruised - I'm talking black, mushy, oxidized to the point of being inedible. It looked like it had been sitting out for days. For a salad that cost well over $20, that's unacceptable. I took two bites, felt my stomach turn, and put the fork down. The rest went in the trash. As a mid-to-high-end spot in Newport Beach that charges premium prices for clean eating, this fails the kitchen standards. Someone prepped that salad, someone plated it, and someone sent it out. No one noticed? Or worse - no one cared? To be fair: service was fine, the space is nice. Hummus with pita tastes great. But after this meal, my stomach literally felt off for hours - the opposite of what "healthy eating" should do. I won't be coming back. Once you serve me spoiled produce, the trust is gone.
