    Came here on a Saturday afternoon to check out this hyped burger spot inside South Coast Plaza. Parking was easy, and the setup is a classic walk-up diner. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, and grab your food when it's ready. I really liked the atmosphere. It has a cozy diner feel with plenty of seating for small groups. One unique touch is the small market inside that sells a variety of imported snacks, including items that are hard to find in the U.S. What we ordered: Regular Cheeseburger - 6/10 A solid but pretty standard burger with a brioche bun, aioli, lettuce, cheese, and grilled onions. It tasted fine, but nothing stood out, especially for the $11 price tag. Tokyo Dog - 7/10 I actually enjoyed this more than the burger. Topped with furikake, mayo, pickles, and bonito flakes, it had a fun combination of flavors that made it more memorable. Overall, I expected a little more considering it's from the owner of Father's Office, which I'm a fan of. It wasn't a bad meal, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. I'd still be open to giving it another try.

    Super cute and clean decor, love the colors and the cute pooch on the signage. I went there specifically for the Dole Whip, and it did not disappoint! The swirl included vanilla and was so, so tasty and refreshing on a hot day! The pineapple Dole Whip was perfectly done! Everyone has been very friendly. There's a convenience store section that has great snacks and sandos that are hard to find anywhere else. It's nice and casual if you want to get away from the pricey extravagance from other spots. I can't wait to go back and try the unique menu that infuses flavors! I highly recommend!

    I saw this place on the South Coast Plaza website, so we decided to check it out. It's in the spot where Boudin Sourdough Bakery used to be, so it can be tricky to find, especially if you're coming from the mall side, as the store before is still being built and those construction walls stick out enough to block Tiny's from view. Walking in from the mall side, it took a few seconds to get our bearings, as the first thing we saw at the end of the dining area was a little store for snacks. Doing an about-face when looking at the snacks and drinks, you'll find a place to order, and then pick up your food. There isn't much room where you place your order, so it's a little confusing about where to stand and whether there are two lines or one. On a Sunday afternoon, there were several families with strollers, so it got crowded fast. The menu board reminded me of the 1970's peg menus that you could get at a high school sports concession stand or a race car track. The order was pretty straightforward: 2 burgers, fries, a large soft drink, and swirl ice cream was $40. Definitely South Coast Plaza prices. We were given our drink right away, along with the swirl ice cream and then a pager. You can pick up bottled or canned drinks that appear to be imported. There's also a cooler with premixed canned alcoholic beverages. I don't drink, but they do have fountain Diet Coke, which is always worth an extra star. As I mentioned, the place was pretty busy, so we sat at the counter that has windows facing the food prep area. We could see that our food was done before our pager went off. One thing to know is that the place is mainly concrete, which fits the style of menu board. That means if you throw in 2-3 families with children, or babies, it's loud. The seating reminded me of the seating outside a Costco food court. We got food, and it was OK. Both the burger and fries tasted familiar, but you can't quite put a name to the place. The fries were crispy, which I know some people like. They were a little salty for my taste, but that wasn't a deal breaker. The burger had that 50s-60s walk-up hamburger stand taste, which I believe is what Tiny's is going for. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it's not a go-out-of-my-way-to-eat place. South Coast does need more true quick service restaurants, so it's a welcome addition. And you could tell by the number of families coming through that it's going to be popular.

    I had high expectations from Tiny's Burger since it's from Sang Yoon of Father's Office fame, known for not allowing food mods or ketchup. Tiny's is a burger restaurant with a Japanese-style convenience market, and unlike in LA, you can modify your food. My favorite items were the Dole whip, salt and vinegar tots and the dill ranch. The cheeseburger was ok, a little on the salty side. The nuggets were pretty standard, but that dill ranch definitely helped (you can choose either dill ranch or tiny sauce for the nuggets). Unfortunately, it's one of those places where you get charged $1 extra if you want a side of dill ranch or tiny's sauce. Staff was terrific. The cashier was cheery and helpful and the a staff member offered to take my tray when she saw me getting up to throw stuff away. South Coast Plaza needs more reasonably-priced restaurants, so Tiny's is a step in the right direction.

    My friends wanted to come here for lunch and I was skeptical due to all the low ratings. Turns out this place is super good and I would definitely eat here again! We were a group of 4, got there right when they opened so no wait. When we left a little after 12 it was getting busy. Peruse the snack/drink section, order & pay at the counter, they give you a buzzer, find your table. The seating isn't the most comfortable, we sat at a picnic bench type table that was super hard and wobbly. They played awesome 80's music our entire visit and we were all jammin out to the hits! All 4 of us went with the cheeseburger, and we also ordered fries, miso mac & cheese, salt & vinegar tots, chicken nuggets, and a dole whip to share. For my husband and I it was $50, but we also bought 3 drinks, which were I think $4 each. I had a White Peach Oolong Pepsi, and it was surprisingly good! I also got a melon drink to take home - soooo sweet! Cheeseburgers were good! My husband thought it was a tad too salty, and I thought it was a tad too sweet, probably from the grilled/caramelized onions. I wasn't mad at it though. Fries were crisp and had great seasoning. Tots were very vinegary and SUPER crispy, we all loved them. Chicken Nuggets were pretty good, but definitely needed to be dipped. The 2 dipping sauces they have are great, my favorite was the dill ranch, if you love dill, you will love that sauce. I think the standout item was the miso mac & cheese, it was so ooey gooey and packed with miso flavor. I ate so much of it that I got full and didn't finish my burger. We aren't in this area often, but I would definitely eat here again next time we are. I want to try a hot dog and their chili next time. And of course, get more miso mac!

    Cheeseburger and fries.

    Cute convenient spot that is good to stop by before heading across the street for a show. Was heading over to Segerstrom after and wanted a quick bite before the show started in a half hour. Hadn't been here since it was a Boudin. Ordered a cheeseburger and grabbed a Thai Tea from its fridge of interesting looking drink selections. People were nice and food came out pretty quick. Burger was tasty with a nice chutney style sauce and fries were crispy. No complaints, and a great convenient spot in a semi rush.

    Cheese burger $10

    Tiny's is a casual Asian inspired burger spot at South Coast Plaza from chef Sang Yoon, who is responsible for the famous burger spot in LA, Father's Office. Burgers here are on the smaller side, sides, hot dogs, and Dole Whip are all offered here as well. They even have a mini grocery store with sandwiches, Asian snacks, and drinks. Cheese burger $10 (4 oz. patty) - This juicy burger consisted of a dry aged patty, American cheese, lettuce, dill pickles and grilled onions . A caramelized Gochujang sauce with Kewpie mayo is served on the burger and elevates the flavor profile. Chili $6 (100% beef) - This consisted of 8 oz. of an all beef chili with a little bit of kick. The consistency was a little unique in that it had almost paste like, but the taste was good. Overall Tiny's is a good casual burger spot. I do wish the burgers were a little larger at the given price point. They have quite a bit of seating inside as well as some outdoor seating.

    They are located inside of South Coast Plaza, on the first floor, near the carousel. This spot has a food court vibe as well as a selection of snacks and drinks displayed in the front of the counter like a convenience store. The menu is fairly short, which makes the ordering easy. I tried the Cheeseburger, Fries, Miso Mac & Cheese, and Salt & Vinegar Tots. The Cheeseburger was tasty, although it was all the salty side. The Fries were salty as well. The Tater Tots were crispy, but the salt and vinegar seasoning wasn't my favorite. The restaurant was clean, had lots of tables available, and I appreciated that they had a self-serve water station. I would go back to try some of the other items on the menu.

    Tiny's is a nice spot to grab lunch when you're shopping. They have ready made food, as well as food to order. Their staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is close and plentiful. Their snack selection is so interesting and I've also tried a number of their drinks..... But I keep going back for the Dole whip!

    Double burger, mac & cheese, fries, Tokyo dog
    Tovan T.

    Chef Sang Yoon's OC experiment begins. It's located in the old Boudin spot at SCP. It is indeed a burger & fries place with a kombini that includes beer and wine. There's an adorable picnic salad, 2 types of egg salad sandwiches on milk bread and a chicken salad on squaw bread. More on these later. Solid burger. Not a smash burger so going double makes for a really hefty meal. You'll need a nap. Great fries and the house made ranch is more herby than Prime Pizza's. The mac & cheese was fine. My companion loved the miso hit. I didn't think it was miso enough. The Tokyo dog was a good time. The dog was great...snappy and beefy. And I quite I enjoyed having okonomiyaki toppings and sauces on top. The tuna melt was fine. Probably more cheesy than I would prefer. If it's milk bread, the griddle zaps all that away, so you can't tell. Tuna could have used more seasoning and acid. Grabbed some kombini items to go. The chicken salad was fine...lots of herbs, but I felt it was missing something. Egg salad was great..though there are is a halved hard-boiled egg shoved in that should also have been seasoned, but the milk bread is good. Would come back for the burger, fries, dog, and the dole pineapple whip. Twist with Straus vanilla soft serve if you don't want pure pineapple happiness.

    Interesting concept, my girlfriend wanted to try this place, it's on the first floor of SCP, across from Calo's. Initially when you walk in, it feels almost like a convenience store. There are rows of chips and drinks. You order at the counter and they deliver your food. The place has a cute vibe, it's very clean. There are several tables to sit at( we went around 11:30 am on a Tuesday). We tried several of the dishes. The best was the chili dog- flavor was great. Second best was the cheeseburger, the dressing was unique, but I liked it. The Mac and cheese was very rich tasting, not my preference but others liked it. The tater tots were better than the French fries, but both were good. On return, I would order the chili and the tots.

    Miso mac n cheese: no miso flavor
    Kathy S.

    We are huge fans of Father's Office and had high hopes for Tiny's but unfortunately this new establishment just didn't do it for us. Everything we tried was just average with the exception of the Tokyo hotdog. -The cheeseburger was nothing special. We were hoping for a cheeseburger that would be on par with Father's Office burger or more amazing. But nope! -Fries: again average and salty -Miso Mac and cheese: we appreciated the effort of a fusion mac n cheese but we didn't taste the miso. A regular mac and cheese would probably have been better. -Tokyo hotdog: this was unexpected but delighted. Anything with kewpie Mayo, furikake, and bonito flakes is good! Think takoyaki but a hotdog version. The hotdog was average but was nicely dressed in Japanese flavor. Service was slow but it's still soft opening. We ordered at the counter and the food wasn't ready until 25 minutes later. When we picked up pour food ạt the counter we were told the mac and cheese were sold out, but then another employee told us it will be ready in 8 minutes. What's another 8 minute after having been waiting for 25 minutes. To our surprise the mac and cheese came out after 2 minutes. Communication still needs work. The store itself had a nice vibe. It's bright and open with lots of seatings. The convenient store concept is pretty cool!! Plenty of Asian snacks and drinks to choose from.

    I came here today with my friend for lunch and it wasn't too busy. This place has a ton of cool snacks, and drinks! I ended up buying a few. You go up to the counter and order and receive a buzzer when the food is ready. I ordered the cheeseburger and miso mac & cheese. My friend also got the cheeseburger, but with a side of fries. The burger wasn't bad, but honestly, nothing stood out. The miso mac & cheese didn't taste like miso to me. It was fine, but honestly, a little overpriced. I also asked if they have a highchair and they do not. I saw other families keeping their kids in their stroller to eat. The inside was very clean and it was spacious. Service was also nice. Honestly, I'm glad I gave this place a try but I probably won't be back. Nothing about the food stood out. Maybe if I'm craving unique snacks I'll come back.

They do have them where I'm at in Las Vegas, but I have yet to visit any of those establishments. I was super hungry and thought I want to go try that rib sandwich. Place is easy to find right off 17th Street. You really can't miss it with that big sign. And the building is definitely unique as well so you shouldn't have any problem finding it Inside you can either choose to go digital and and skip talking to a real person. I'm old school, I actually like engaging with people. So I went to the counter. I ordered the rib sandwich without looking, and was a little shocked by the total. The sandwich itself is 15 bucks, I ordered a small fry which was $4.50, and a small drink which was $4. With a 15% tip my total came out to $28. Definitely a little shell-shocked by that. Now let's talk about the sandwich. It came to the table and at first glance it looked very small. When I picked it up there was a very generous portion of rib meat inside like a big chunk of rib meat. Huge pickles and a lot of sauce. It was a great sandwich. Do not get me wrong, what I ordered again? Maybe. They don't really have a meal deal that includes fries and a drink so it's sort of all a la carte. Now let's talk about the taste. The fries were perfectly cooked, and the sandwich itself was a solid 10. That being said, I would definitely feel more comfortable paying $12 for this sandwich, as I think 15 is a little exuberant. And you don't really get that many fries for $4.50. I can't imagine what the meal deal would have been, but I'm sure people would absolutely balk at that price. I would have given it a five-star review, but that is way too much for that sandwich. As delicious as it was, I just don't feel right spending that much for a sandwich. If it could be reworked, and the price dropped down I would be all in in a heartbeat. Bottom line? If you've been wanting to try it, I say go ahead. Just be warned that you could be unpleasantly surprised unless you know what the prices are you're getting into.
