    Cali Cruisin' Burger
    Jr O.

    Ordered the Cali Cruisin' Burger. At only $12.95, you get 100% Angus Beef patty, onions and tomato, lettuce, bacon and pepper jack cheese. Ordered mine with regular fries. Drank an Izze - sparkling clementine flavor. I came here with no expectations - and WOW I was blown away by the amazing flavors of this burger! Honestly, the BEST tasting burger I've had in 2020! I would price this burger at $20+ based on the taste and high quality of the product! Will return for sure to try another item on their menu!

    Kitchen space that's available. There are many appliances and enough space to mass produce food.

    So.... I found this place in costa Mesa on my way to GOOGLE FIBER Its super cute inside and the food was pretty good. I ordered the mahi katsu and the teriyaki beef. I also bought some rice crispy treats that were pretty good as well. The only reason why I didnt give it 4 stars was because the amount of food you get for the price wasnt up to par. There are other Hawaiian food places who give you big food and that's what I was expecting. Anywho. if I'm ever out on the area again I may stop buy!. #imout

    I had a very enjoyable corporate team bonding event here. The chefs (I wish I could remember their names ) were extremely hospitable hosts and were very thoughtful and supportive as we did various cooking challenges. Those four hours went by so quickly, I would highly recommend booking this place for work team bonding activities. The kitchen space was very clean and I love that this space exists to support local food startups! Also kudos for being vegan-friendly; while the rest of my company ordered chicken, the chef went out of her way to prepare me a delicious butternut squash dish!

    Fried chicken sandwich
    Andrew C.

    Amazing hidden gem, especially for foodies. They have a great assortment of craft foods, ie. sauces, bread puddings, cookies, chocolates, drinks, etc. For lunch they have gourmet sandwiches with salad and chips. Probably the only place around that has a fried chicken sandwich that's tasty and surprisingly healthy - just ate one and don't feel sluggish or guilty at all. It's not a sit down restaurant so be prepared to take your order to go, but there's plenty of things to look at while you wait for your food.

    The Hood MRKT opened today and since I work down the street, I decided to check it out. I had previously met the owners Shelby and Christie when I inquired and toured their professional kitchen space for rent. These ladies are great, very nice and professional. Upon entering The Hood MRKT you see the fabulous selection of locally sourced honey, jams, rubs and delicious samples of complimentary chocolate and cookies that I of course had to try. Both were delicious! I was cheerfully greeted by the very nice and knowledgeable gal at the counter. I ordered the mustard and beer braised Zeigler's spicy Italian sausage sandwich. I wish I could rave about it, but sadly I cannot. The sandwich was very small (about the size of a Subway 1/2 sandwich). Nothing is included with the sandwich, no fries, no chips, no drink, and at a cost of $9.00, it's not a good value in my opinion. I could've possibly justified it if it was the best sausage sandwich I had ever tasted, but not even close. The sausage was mushy and too hot for my liking. I was also expecting roasted red onions and bell peppers as it said on their menu, however, they were pickled not roasted. I won't be back for another artisan sandwich, but I will return to try more MRKT goodies and of course those delicious cookies!

    Love the staff here! This is Emily, running the market!

    Unfortunately the staff/ownership could care less about you and your business. It's too bad especially during such a time.

    Very cool for people who are starting out in the catering business and such but I'm still confused , does this place operate as a regular restaurant? Like can I drop by on a random Tuesday to buy lunch too?

    Do you have a barbecue grill to make Kabobs?

    Yes we do! Check out our website to come by for a tour!

    This is a cool concept with multiple restaurants sharing at one location and it is all contactless…read more When I first entered the premise, I was waiting for someone to come out to greet me. I waited for a while and confused. LOL! There are no tables or chairs while you are waiting for the food inside. You basically order any restaurants food via Kiosk. You can purchase as many cuisines as possible in one transaction. If you have questions for a specific restaurant, simply use the ring camera under the menu to speak with the host. They see you, but you don't see them. I don't like that at all. It took me awhile to decide what to order ...... Ordered: Chicken Biryani box - It comes with Indian fried rice with dark meat chicken, yogurt dipping sauce, cucumber salad and Gulab Jamun dessert. The fried rice was completely salty. I added my own plain yogurt to make my dish taste a little better. My meal was just okay. If you want to dine here, you can sit outside. Parking is difficult find as some of the parking spots are assigned to the businesses management complex.

    I'm at a loss for words, as it's rare that I don't recommend or encourage supporting mom-and-pop…read moreshops because they need the most support and business. Smart Kitchen is in its infancy and still has some rooms for improvements. First off, this "restaurant" is really a stall inside a ghost kitchen in an unmarked warehouse building. It's not until you find Building #17951 that you locate a suite. Once inside, there's a kiosk to order and a cage with orders that is ready for pick up. It's been 30 minutes (since the ETA provided on the application) so I had to ring the buzzer. A lady came out and said my order is still in progress. An hour later, I got my food but so disappointed in the experience, quality and quality that will not be coming back.
