    Pastrami Combo
    Tyler K.

    The best pastrami sandwich I have ever had in my whole life! Not even overreacting as soon as you take a bite to the hot steamy pastrami, you can taste all the flavors of pepper, garlic cumin. The bread was perfectly fresh with the perfect amount of mustard and pickles on top. Also, I ordered onion rings instead of french fries as soon as I opened up the box of onion rings there was literally steam coming out fresh and hot to touch not to mention the combo comes with a side of ranch, which is very butter milky, and you can tell they make it in house. Wow I am definitely gonna be back here. I was not expecting such high-quality from a little small burger joints I even called and spoke to the manager who is also the chef and he told me that he makes the brine for the pastrami in house and that's actually one of his favorite items on the menu. I really appreciate the great customer service to the drive-through and also the great customer service from the manager on the phone. I definitely recommend this place and I can't wait to come back to try much more of their menu, thank you Terry's Café for an amazing lunch. I truly appreciate it.

    BLT Sandwich Combo with eggs
    Diana N.

    This was my first time coming here since I haven't tried this place before and my boyfriend second or third time coming here. My boyfriend showed me this place. Today, I went here with my boyfriend and we got the BLT combo. The BLT combo consist of lettuce, bacon, avocado, tomato, and eggs. The combo would have fries on the side along with the drink. We got the drink and sub for only sandwiches. The sandwich was soft, crunchy, and the inside were smooth, delicious, and great flavor. The service was fast & employees are very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. There is limited parking. I would definitely come back here if I want a good breakfast.

    Biscuits and gravy. 2 biscuits cut in half and loaded with gravy. They were very soft and the gravy was seasoned well.

    I had driven by this spot many times but finally came in to eat when I was in the area. I had biscuits and gravy which was a huge portion for a good deal, under $9. My kids had the rib dinner ($19) and the waffle combo with strawberry topping ($16). For drinks we had OJ which was fresh squeezed but at $9 it was kind of steep lol. Very delicious nonetheless but I wouldn't pay that again. The coffee was your average cup of joe! I had some of everything (dad life) and it was all so good and a hefty serving. The cashiers and waitress were very welcoming and attentive. This is a classic type of diner vibe with customers in and out the whole time we were there. I definitely want to stop by to try other items.

    We waited for about 20 minutes but my bf loved the steak burrito here. Him and his family have always can here. Wouldn't say it's the best ever but definitely a good place to order. We also have the pancakes and sausage and the sausage were good and the so were the pancakes

This review I assume is the OG on Garden Grove -- parking could be tough during the weekend. OC & La, is a Vietnamese seafood spot for sharing a bunch of dishes. I found out that "OC" means snails! I thought it was Orange County! Hahaha. We tried - razor clams, scallops (HUGE), the selection of salads are amazing so we got the spicy mango - House Special Mango Salad with squid & escargot -- is spicy , tangy, refreshing, and the refreshing taste! My favorite dish was the HUGE fried fish...color is amazing and the way the fish was presented seal the deal for me. Between two people, we devoured the entire fish !! It's the kind of place where you order "just a few things" and suddenly the entire table is covered in food. But, I'm not complaining since the team is very quick in getting the used plates off our tables. Also, both places offered FREE dessert. It's like a coconut based taro and other root sweet dish.

The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes. Here are a few things I can think of to recommend: --Deep fried smelt fish ( i love smelt ) --Stir fried glass noodles with escargot and crab ( make sure to dip in the maggi sauce they give ) --House special mango salad ( squid & escargot ) --Razor clams ( sometimes sold out :( ) --Deep fried Quail ( this is one of the best ) --Stir fried water spinach with garlic ( for bowel movement assistance ) --Grilled garlic butter oysters ( the cheese one overpowers the oyster ) --Scallops with fish eggs --Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves ( this is not my fave, but people i go with, love it ) Service is good.

This entails 3 pounds of your choice of protein: shrimp, clam, mussel, and crawfish. This also comes with corn, potatoes, and sausages. Only costed $54.99. We just got 3 lbs of shrimp. We thought it was a great deal so we ordered take out and ate it within 30 min of getting it. First impression was good because it was hefty and on the bag, it even had a cute thank you message. When we ate the shrimps, we realized a lot of them stuck to the shell and tasted soft, not the usual crunch that you get in a shrimp. Tasted old and the texture was just off putting. The flavor and the other toppings were good though, but not good enough for me to come back since the shrimp should be the star of the dish. It was also super dead when we walked into the restaurant, but that shouldn't excuse old shrimp. I hope they read this review and take action.

    Quality HOT POT over here!…read more Place is a little hard to spot but be sure to lookout for the flagship name "Raising Claw". My bro and I opted out on the 55$ premium AYCE menu. The establishment really focuses on quality and representation. The first round order took about ten minutes to come out after the soup broth was brought out. Second round order was very consistent as the quality of marbled meats came out as identical as the first batch. The tri tip and Australia rib eye was very savory. All beef options were all excellent. Chuck roll is a little too chewy for my liking as opted out on second and third order. Green tea ice cream matcha is a good meal ender. Restrooms - Clean Would definitely come back!

It might be hard to find but it's located in the raising claw at the corner of the plaza! We got the premium set which came with SO much meat. The quality of all the meats were very good and diverse. Our server Hayden was also very knowledgeable on all the cuts and attentive to our needs. He was switching out plates for us and bringing in new foods in the set menu as we ate. The restaurant set up is nice too, you don't have to worry about crammed tables as they have carts to put your extra plates on so you have plenty of room to eat. Overall the experience was fun and the food was really good, the price point is high but definitely worth it since you get a lot of meats and seafood as well. Personally I'd place this location better than mokkoji or Shabuya :).

I was disappointed that some of the beef items from previous menus online were not on the menu, but their selection was still decent.

I went with a friend on Friday and was excited to go with my bf on Sunday! If you haven't tried lotus salad, I would highly recommend it! Such an astounding crunch from the lotus, with satiable citrus flavors as the base. Shrimp and beef were cooked to perfection. We also tried razor clams which were flavorful and had a really easy chew to it. If I can't chew it under 1-2 minutes, I'm not going to continue. lol I can basically have their baked catfish all week. The dish is so comforting and light. Definitely a no-guilt type of meal.
