Came here for burgers week on the first day of launch. Interestingly, they didn't have menus ready for the first day so I was told to look at the email I received about it to order. I didn't mind since I came knowing what the menu was but this probably wouldn't really work for customers who don't know about the menu. May need to prepare better in the future. We decided to dine indoors since there was a chance of rain, and we had my baby with us. My baby does love looking outside at the greenery they have, which makes you feel like you're in a garden/outdoors. Service from our server (sorry, didn't get his name) was great but we all felt could have been better from his female co-worker who seemed very disassociated while she was bringing over food. My sister had asked her for a towel because one of our drinks had spilt and the table was sticky but the female server passed her a bunch of dry napkins, which pissed my sister off . Anyways, I asked our make server for the towel and he graciously brought out two brand new towels to use. He deserves a raise and his partner should possibly receive more training. I don't think this is the first time she has been like this since we've been to this restaurant. There were 3 of us so we decided to order all four of the burgers to try each of them out. There was the terrace cheeseburger, Filipino burger, French dip burger, and Italian joe burger. We all like a different burger but none of us cared for the French dip burger since it lacked flavor unless you dunked the entire burger and drenched it in the dip. The dip itself had a nice rosemary flavor. We ultimately all agreed that the regular menu was better but we're happy we tried the burgers for burger week! read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night and it was pretty quiet. There was only 1 other part when we arrived. I appreciated how attentive the service was. The food itself was pretty decent for the majority of our dishes. We ordered the mushroom garlic noodles, pork adobo, and chicken Milanese with Brussels sprouts, and the calamari and green tea drink. The mushroom flavor tasted great in the noodles, and the chicken Milanese was also very crunchy and delicious. The only one that was kind of a let down is the adobo. The flavors were good but not very memorable. Overall quite pricey for the amount of adobo and meat portion. We sat outside on the patio and it was very nicely decorated. read more

I'm so surprised that this restaurant doesn't have a 5 star. I've been here five times after just moving here from New York and I have to tell you that the food here is so exceptionally delicious and it's really high-quality ingredients. The first thing I always get is the Demi baguette with their French butter . I can eat like three of these. The margarita, goat cheese and mushroom, and the hot honey pizzas-are probably of my favorite pizzas in Orange County (next to Truly and Folks) and no hassle getting a table! Caesar salad here which has a very authentic and the most potent Parmesan- Is my favorite ceasar in the OC at this mall. It's SO good. grilled salmon here -top-notch and we tried several of the pastas, with Wagyu beef ragù, basil and Parmesan being one of my favorites. Ask for extra parm on the side. I keep coming back to the south Coast Plaza to eat here and the back dining area is so beautiful and relaxing. I'm actually quite pleased that it's not super crowded. The servers are always so friendly and super helpful and it's just a really pretty restaurant. I'm just really surprised people don't go here which is actually better for me. read more

Came here while shopping around south coast. Idk how I haven't been here before, it's located right before the bridge, has warm tropical vibes, indoor and outdoor seating. Filipino fusion type place. Got the $33/person 3 course dinner. Soo many delicious flavors. The 3 of us split the different entrees and apps, my favorites were the sea bass, albacore tostada, and sticky toffee pudding! Will be back for those sinigang mussels! Felt bad for the server, the restaurant was packed and two of them were running around with their heads cut off. No hostess so they were busy. Def make a reservation! read more

We checked out the special spring omakase menu. They limited seating indoors and I was bummed that there were no booth seats left as they had sat a couple on a 4 top yet there was 3 of us. Service wise our server was patient with my daughter as she couldn't decide on what to order since she didn't want the fixed menu. For the food I enjoyed variety of offerings and it was interesting to see how the chef interpreted what he bought as seasonal items from the farmers market. It would have been better had the chef explained each course as to what inspired his creations. read more

We were back in CA the last day of OC Resto Week on 3/14 and I was delighted to see a $35 dinner menu at Terrace by Mix Mix. Chef Ross delivered an incredible OC Restaurant Week 3 course dinner for $35 each. We started with the Goat Cheese Toast -- creamy, tangy, balanced -- and the Shrimp Lumpia, which were crisp, light, and paired with a roasted lime aioli. For mains, the Filipino Brunch was the standout: tender pork cheek adobo, garlic rice, sweet longanisa, fried egg and chimichurri that elevated this filipino classic. The Oven‑Steamed Mussels "Sinigang" were authentic -- plump mussels in a tamarind broth with tomato, garlic, steamed with a bread lid which was pretty innovative. Sorry, I thought I took a picture of this dish without the bread lid. Dessert sealed the night: the warm Sticky Toffee Pudding was rich, comforting, and crave-worthy while the Coconut Panna Cotta with tropical fruit and ube ice cream was refreshing and vibrant. Generous portions, beautiful plating, and great service -- an unbeatable Restaurant Week value. There's always something special every week so not a bad idea to sign up for their newsletter. read more

First time trying Terrace by Mix Mix. I was at the Annual Spring Garden show enjoying all the beautiful plants and doing my plant shopping when I spotted this cute restaurant by the bridge. This restaurant was eye catching and has such a beautiful patio so I knew I had to stop by after my plant haul. I'm glad I did. Everything was excellent. From the customer service we received to all the course options and special menu to the ambiance. I was highly impressed. Thank you to Kenny for being so patient with us. It was our first time, so my Mom and I had lots of questions and a few requests. He did a great job explaining everything and providing the best service. Also big thank you to Abi for her excellent customer service as well. She made us feel so welcomed when we were seated and I asked if we could have to go cups instead of the glass and she brought everything with a great attitude. I highly recommend everyone to try this place at least once because everything was a 10/10. Such a cute little restaurant with great staff. You can tell the owner takes pride in making sure this place gives you the best experience. Great job Terrace by Mix Mix! :) read more

Had a decent lunch here while we explored south coast plaza. We started the meal off with bacon wrapped dates and the shrimp lumpia. Both were delicious. For entrees we got the bone marrow pizza and the siningang mussels. We enjoyed both of these, however i wish there was a little more bone marrow for the pizza. Overall decent place at south coast plaza mall. read more

10/10, Absolutely spectacular!! Everything was delicious, service was juuust right (not too much and not too little. Thanks Amanda!), ambiance was cute on the patio! There was no wait on a Tuesday night. Give this place a try, you wont be disappointed My husband and I shared one dinner prix fix course ($35), and one additional entree. We both left STUFFED. Garden Salad - 10/10 Soooo refreshing! Absolutely loved having a light, citrus-y salad to start off my meal. The salad to avocado and dressing ratio is perf Shrimp alla Vodka Pasta - 10/10 Perfectly cooked, shrimp juicy and plump, and the pasta was nice and SAUCY! Dry and rubbery pasta? Terrace has never heard of her Margherita Pizza - 9.5/10 MAGICAL DOUGH. so incredibly chewy in the best way possible! The pizza is on the cheesier side, and if I had one teeny thing to nitpick i wish there was a bit more tomato sauce Sticky Toffee Pudding Dessert - 9/10 Incredibly dense, moist, and rich toffee brownie dessert with vanilla ice cream. My husband and I shared this as the right finale. It was delicious, but a bit heavy for our taste. If I were to finish this whole dessert by myself I would be walking out with a new diabetes diagnosis. Dinged off one point because I wish the ice cream didnt melt from the warm plate! read more

This place has such a cute outdoor patio seating area. Love the plant decor. Went around 4 for an early dinner and it wasn't busy. Was seated right away and service was great. The albacore tostado was a perfect start, light and refreshing with a slight kick. The wagyu cheese burger was super juicy and is definitely one of the better burgers I've ever had. And the sticky toffee pudding was pretty good as well, not super sweet, the ice cream helped balance it out. Overall really enjoyed my experience here and would come back to try other menu items. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner celebration. Servers were very kind and accommodating, as well as taking the time to explain to us their menu as well as the Filipino/European influence from the chef's background. Outside terrace area is very nice and has a good ambiance. We ordered a margarita pizza, shrimp lumpia, and the shrimp alla vodka. Margarita Pizza (3.5/5): This was a solid dish, kind of difficult to mess up since it's very simple. We liked the thin airy crust, and it was very cheesy. Though a lot of the cheese kept sliding off the pizza and made it a bit difficult to eat. Good but not anything mind blowing personally. Shrimp Lumpia (4/5): I really liked the crunchiness and thinness of this lumpia. The shrimp filling was also pretty delicious and the sauce that it came with paired well with the flavors. I do wish we got more of the sauce since it's a very thin spread under the lumpia. Shrimp Alla Vodka (3/5): It tasted more tomato heavy, not as creamy as other vodka sauces I've had. Seasoning was alright, didn't love the taste of this pasta but the shrimp was cooked very well and was supple. Also the pasta was a tad bit undercooked so it was a little hard. They gave us a free dessert for my friends birthday which was very kind! We ordered the sticky toffee pudding and it came out with a lit candle that she got to blow out. This was yummy though keep in mind that the toffee pudding is more akin to a cake than it is a pudding. The cake texture was a little dry though we did like the toffee flavoring in it and the ice cream scoop on top. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again though we did really appreciate the service! read more

We recently visited Terrace and had high expectations partly due to the reviews and secondly, I was very curious on how they would execute the filipino dishes. We ordered the filipino brunch which had a little bit of everything (adobo, garlic rice, longanisa, fried egg, chicharon) the wagyu burger and the pizza with the hot honey and longanisa. I think they did a great job on the dishes. My one feedback was that the pizza crust was very soggy, despite other photos looking differently. The ambience is very nice, beautiful set up and surroundings. read more

I've been fortunate to travel extensively and enjoy some truly memorable meals around the world, so it takes a lot to impress me. Terrace by Mix Mix did exactly that. It's a foodie's paradise tucked right into the heart of Orange County, with a menu that seamlessly blends French, Italian, and modern Filipino influences into something uniquely its own. The shrimp lumpia was incredibly fresh and refreshing, while the pork cheek adobo absolutely melted in my mouth, rich with a subtle briny depth and finished with crispy shallots and delicate cilantro flowers that tied every bite together. Every plate was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor without trying too hard. The service was equally outstanding - thank you, Amanda! A special thank you to Chef Diana and her incredible kitchen team for such an unforgettable meal, and to Chef/Owner Ross Pangilinan for bringing this concept to life. You've created something truly special. I'll absolutely be back, and I'll be recommending Terrace by Mix Mix to anyone looking for one of the best dining experiences in Orange County. read more

Stumbled on this place with my family by mistake and it happened to have great tasting food with excellent service. We ordered a few different pizzas: pepperoni, bone marrow and the margherita. My mom ordered the wagyu cheeseburger and my father ordered the salmon loco moco. We also ordered a couple salads on the side as well as shrimp lumpia. Only reason why I can't give it a full 5 stars is because of the portion to price ratio. With this restaurant being in the South Coast Plaza mall, it's understandable. But with that being said, I wouldn't hesitate to come back here considering that the food tastes great and the service is good too. read more

I had a great experience here during OC Restaurant Week. Prior to coming, I didn't know their menu has some Asian influence, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the steamed mussels sinigang, green salad, and sticky toffee pudding off the Restaurant Week menu. The mussels were delicious, especially in sinigang style! It's good when you dip the bread into the sauce. The salad was good and filling. Lastly, the sticky toffee pudding dessert was the perfect way to end with! I only wish the portion for the sticky toffee pudding was bigger. I definitely wanted more of that! Overall, delicious and tasty food enjoyed out on their nicely decorated terrace. read more

It's a great option for outdoor dining because they have a nice shaded patio that looks out to the mall bridge. read more

Back for dinner with a large group after a number of years - I am happy to up my rating to 5 stars. The dinner prix fixe option with wine is the way to go. It's a good deal for all you get. They have really made the outside terrace an attractive space. Even on a rainy night it was comfortable for all. Our waiter was excellent. I am glad they are using the pizza oven leftover from the previous tenant. It's been 7 years since I was last here so this may be old news for most of you. Standouts for me were the shrimp lumpia and the bone marrow pizza (first time for that!) Hope to be back sooner to try other items. read more

Having tried chefs Ross Pangilinan's and Nicholas Weber's 2 other restaurants, Populaire (also in South Coast Plaza) and Verdant (at OCMA), I was due to try Terrace by Mix Mix in South Coast Plaza just across the Bridge of Gardens. The restaurant has a small indoor dining area and a larger pretty outdoor terrace. The menu is eclectic, with several Filipino selections reflecting chef Ross' heritage. I came for lunch because I was particularly interested in their "Weekday Express Prix Fixe Lunch" menu, offered 11am-3pm M-F, 3 courses for $32. There are multiple choices for the starter and main, while dessert is either ice cream or sorbet. I started with the albacore tostada, poke-like tuna and condiments atop a crispy tortilla. A tasty but small portion. My main choice was the Filipino Brunch: pork adobo, longanisa sausage and a fried egg over garlic fried rice, topped with crispy shallots. Very flavourful. I added an epi baguette to my prix fixe order and it was very good, soft almost like a Parker House roll, not with a crispy crust like a traditionally-shaped baguette. I chose the sorbet for my dessert, and got one scoop each of mango and yuzu. The yuzu was not as tart as expected, and the mango tasted more like cantaloupe. Overall a pleasant lunch with good value. They offer a 4-course prix fixe menu without time or day restrictions that I'd like to try. I'm a big eater and I was compelled to down a few xiao long bao at Paradise Dynasty after this weekday lunch. read more

Perfect place for lunch! Love the decor and arrangement of the terrace and the prix fix was excellent with a variety of choices of quality, unique options. Recommend all the Filipino dishes like the adobo garlic fried rice, Sinigang mussels and the shrimp lumpia as an appetizer. And the ice creams and sorbets was a perfect end. Can't wait to come back! read more

I came here with a group of friends with a lot to celebrate. Our birthdays are all lumped together so rather than celebrate 3x we always meet up in the middle to celebrate the magic of us. The restaurant itself is a little tricky to find on the third floor of a shopping mall, but thankfully my friends beat me here and messaged me where to go. It felt a little like a hidden rooftop, and had welcoming vibes. I skipped lunch so was absolutely starving. We probably over ordered but there were a few different things we all wanted to try. Just a heads up that it's more of a tapas-style (small plates to share) concept, which was perfect for our little group outing. I'm a vegetarian, so shout out to Kenny T. For making sure I saw everything available that was either already vegetarian, or could be made to be. I had the Roasted Brussels Sprouts, the Green Salad, the Spicy Noodles, and the Panna Cotta. Everything was beyond delicious, and since my eyes were a smidge bigger than my stomach I had leftovers for the next day. Service was fast and friendly, and it felt like our server was part of the group. Kenny was attentive and let us stay and chat without feeling rushed. He even suggested another spot for our group photo that had a better background. The touch lamp even changed brightness to maximize both our experience and our Yelp photos. All joking aside, we really just had the best time here and prices were reasonable for all that we had. Thanks for making us all feel like guests of honor! read more

Absolutely no notes. Well just one: this place needs MORE traffic. As someone who loves a good Asian fusion spot, Terrace by Mix Mix came to my attention via the algorithm on socials. A few of my friends have also visited and given pretty rave reviews. So I had to try it for myself. Took my church friends here for my birthday dinner this year on a Sunday night. To my surprise, the place was empty, so we had the whole Terrace to ourselves. But it shouldn't have been! It's such a cute outdoor space! They such an amazing selection of Italian food with Filipino twists. Hot Honey Pizza with LONGANISA?! Mussel Sinigang?! Bone Marrow Pizza?? I couldn't ask for a more exquisite menu. Our server was very patient with my large party and our questions. Food came out decently quick despite being a large party. It seemed like it was just the chef himself working back there when we left the restaurant. Honestly, truly hats off to the chef. I didn't get a picture of every food, but from the sound of it, all my guests loved the food! If you're shopping around South Coast Plaza or just in the Costa Mesa area, please pay Terrace a visit!! We need more Filipino fusion spots in the restaurant scenery!! read more

Came here for their Garden Show Prixe Fixe Menu. No table was available but told to come back at 12:30 and the table was ready by then. Ordered first the rose which I wouldn't recommend. Wait staff took my order of shrimp eggroll, Filipino brunch and ube ice cream. Brought my rose and took the order from the next table for 4. While I was waiting, I was reviewing the garden show here in Yelp. I waited and waited. Then the table of 4 started getting their appetizers before me. Waited again and the waiter said he was going to check. My eggroll came hot but was greasy. Didn't care for the aioli with a hint of curry. Of course, the next table started getting their entrees. My Filipino brunch consisted of adobo pork cheeks, longanisa, fried egg and garlic fried rice. I cut into the egg and the yolk melted on the rice. I took a bite of the tender pork cheeks and didn't like the seasoning. There was an aftertaste. Took a bite of the longanisa and it was better, not too sweet. So I was disappointed with the adobo. Then came the wait staff and told me that they run out of the ube ice cream and had to order sorbet instead. I was excited to eat here but felt let down. Also, their water carafes had water spots. I guess it means that they've gone through the dishwasher. I would try them again but probably not order the Filipino inspired dishes. read more

They had so much flavor. We ordered a salad and added shrimp and that was that ok. The thing I really didn't like was the tostada.

Right across from the most famous South Coast Plaza where the most expensive rent per square foot in the USA as far as the shopping mall is concerned, there floats a dreamy suspended bridge to another big mall with Macy's Furniture, Pottery Barn Sheets, Casper Hybrids and a small but still the best location and better yet, the best staffs, chef, location and location with the name that says it well: Terrace by Mix Mix. It's pretty place, as some might say that word, Romantic, to describe the idyllic place for two lovers to meet for the nice dinner for date night or for friends to have a nice lunch while shopping for a new Apple Device. The place greets you with their clean open kitchen with display of the well-oiled staff's working in concert: one sous chef grilling, others chopping and main chef making something delicious while the server sits you without you having to wait unlike any other pompous restaurants! It's a place where no nonsense for customers only philosophy is truly practiced in its maximum. The waiters are all extremely well trained and smart with their crafts. They know how to treat their customers with efficient delivery of their best manners in providing the best and most importantly common sense approach: they won't make you wait unnecessarily, gives you choices to sit anywhere open, no bull in telling you what is best that day, and serve you immediately! All beer served in bottles and chilled glasses without question. The dishes come out perfectly clean and absolutely delicious with amazingly efficient and delicious manners! The basic tenant of exact saltiness due to the perfect tastebuds of the Chef is shown on every single dish. The Goat Cheese Toasts and Shrimp Lumpia were the two light snacks that we had: simply amazing! Two craft beer: one Belgian Hoeggarden White, and the other local IPA from San Clemente: Left Coast Trestle IPA were served with perfect foam cap! Delicious and delightful, perfectly located and absolutely deserving the Five Stars! read more

This place is on the top floor of Crystal Court in South Coast Plaza by the Bridge of Garden. So we were the first people in the dining room, we didn't have a reservation but got seated right away. Our server was quick to get us waters & drink orders. I ordered the Chilean Sea bass over a bed of crispy rice salad with a side of garlic fried rice. The crispy rice salad had a unique delicious taste alongside the obvious texture. The sea bass was perfectly seared and seasoned, it paired well with the garlic fried rice and my rośe.

We tried this restaurant using an Amex card benefit and had a wonderful experience. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. It's a small, charming place that truly lives up to the hype. Special thanks to our server, Kenny, whose attention to detail made the evening memorable. We were celebrating our anniversary, and he took such thoughtful care of us like securing the best table, offering great food recommendations, taking beautiful photos for us, and even suggesting the perfect spot for pictures. He also shared insightful background on the chef, the menu, and the restaurant itself. It's the kind of genuine, thoughtful service you rarely find, even at higher-end places. We initially assumed he was the manager and once we learned he isn't, we both agreed he absolutely should be. Kenny is the type of person who makes sure every guest feels welcomed and leaves happy.

Wow what a wonderful experience dining with Terrace by Mix Mix. I inquired to celebrate my birthday with my family here and was immediately seated upon arrival. Our party was brought outside into the patio area which was so lovely and decorated with lots of greenery. This made the ambiance so enchanting and special. My entire party opted to try to 4 course prix fixe menu. With this option, you select one course from the 'snack' menu, second from the 'salad or small plates', third from pizza, pasta, or main course, and of course a dessert. Everyone got to try and sample each others plates but these are my notable items from dinner: Albacore tostada 9/10 This was such a great starter that bursted with flavor and umami. There was a generous cut of albacore to top the tostada and it was so fresh. My only gripe was the piece of albacore was one whole piece and I almost wish it was one piece cut into two so it could make taking small bites a bit easier Shrimp lumpia 10/10 3 pieces of lumpia in the prix fixe? Say less! I could not get enough of the jalapeño lime aioli they paired the lumpia with. It paired so nicely and elevated the juicy shrimp. Would highly recommend this one! Pork cheek adobo 8/10 The garlic fried rice was lovely with the tender pork pieces. Everything fell apart in your mouth as you took each bite. Accompanied by shallots and chimichurri, it felt so balanced. It did fall slightly on the salty side but the portion was perfect to taste. I'm not sure if I could finish an entire plate on my own Oven steamed mussels 'sinigang' 10/10 This was my first time trying sinigang, even if it was just an inspiration. If you like tart, bright, and zinging flavor, this is the dish for you. Mussels were cooked to perfection and I could not get enough of how delicious the broth was! It came with a bread lid which allowed me to keep dipping into the broth and if only I could have another loaf of bread, I would've finished the entire bowl of broth! We ran into an issue where one of my family members was not able to get her mussels tonight due to quality of the seafood but we were accommodated well. Luckily we had plenty of mussels to share around the table so we all got to try one or two. Hangar steak 9/10 I love my steak medium rare and this was cooked to my liking just great. I thoroughly enjoyed the drizzle of chimicurri on top of the steak and actually prefer that over the mushroom peppercorn sauce. You are able to pick one side with any main course dish and I opted for the whipped potato's, also 10/10! This was a great way to finish off savory dishes for the night. Coconut panna cotta 9/10 What a delicate dessert that isn't too filling but hits the sweet tooth mark! Compared to their sticky toffee pudding, this was far less sweet and almost refreshing. Because of how light it is, I found myself spooning bite after bite and cleaned my bowl up! Thank you so much for the wonderful staff that accompanied us tonight and made the night special! read more

We came here on a Sunday with a party of 7 and had a reservation. We were seated right away, and the location is great--on the 3rd floor near the parking structure. The ambiance is nice, especially outdoors with lots of live plants. We ordered the pork chicharon, shrimp lumpia, green salad, pork cheek adobo, bone marrow spaghetti and bone marrow pizza. The flavors were okay, but if you're looking for authentic Filipino taste or generous portions, this might not be the best fit. The pork chicharon tasted store-bought and didn't impress. Service was friendly, and they gave us 2 servings of ice cream for a birthday in our group, which was a nice touch. I'm open to coming back but would definitely try different dishes next time. read more

Terrace by Mix Mix - Bone marrow spaghetti - New American Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Terrace by Mix Mix absolutely delivers with its flavors as an elevated casual dining spot. I got the bone marrow pizza and the albacore tostada, and both were delicious and the portions were definitely enough for 2. The bone marrow pizza is indulgent in the best way possible. It has a crispy, thin crust with a generous layer of rich, buttery marrow and caramelized onions. The albacore tostada was light, fresh, and beautifully layered -- sashimi-grade fish with the sriracha aioli and avocado, and crunch from the base. Clean flavors with thoughtful texture -- a perfect contrast to the pizza. The space itself is open-air and relaxing, with a casual yet polished vibe. Service was friendly, well-paced, and knowledgeable about the menu definitely making the experience feel more elevated. read more
