Pros: surprisingly good burger (en Fuego?). The burger was sizable, juicy and flavorful. The…read moremillionaire bacon was perfectly cooked as well. Fries had a good crisp, the crust on the Mac and cheese were good too. Cons: it was a tad pricy and I wasn't a fan of the "Stubborn Soda" I think that's what the brand was called. Notes: good variety on the menu. It's fast casual so order at the counter and seat yourself. Nice clean interior with plenty of seating. It's close, maybe I was just really in the mood for a burger on National Burger Day, but I really enjoyed my food here. A little generous on this one and maybe SHOULD be 4/5 but I think the burger won me over.

Before I even get to what may genuinely be the greatest burger I've ever eaten, I have to start…read morewith Nevaeh. Somehow, Nevaeh managed to make three grown men eating burgers after rock climbing feel like we were being welcomed home after returning from a dangerous expedition. Every Wednesday, two of my childhood friends and I go rock climbing together. We've known each other forever, and our Wednesday routine has become sacred: climb until our fingers are destroyed, debate whether we got stronger or just found easier problems, then head to Eureka! for burgers and beers. And then there is Nevaeh. From the moment we sat down, her service was exceptional. She was warm, funny, attentive, and somehow appeared exactly when we needed something without interrupting three childhood friends catching up. The IPAs arrived cold and perfectly timed. And then came the burgers. After climbing for hours, you're operating on another level of hunger. Your forearms are cooked, your fingertips hurt, you've had that first sip of IPA, and you're discussing completely meaningless things with the seriousness of a United Nations summit. And then, in the distance... Nevaeh appears. Carrying the Double Smash Burgers. Time slows down. Conversation stops. Three men quietly turn their heads. She approaches carrying what can only be described as beautifully constructed monuments to beef. With the confidence of someone who understands exactly what she's bringing to the table, Nevaeh places the Double Smash Burger in front of me. At that moment, nothing else matters. I've been eating burgers since I was a child. Backyard burgers. Burgers after sports. Fast-food burgers. Steakhouse burgers. Gourmet burgers with ingredient lists requiring their own table of contents. I'm 41 years into my burger education. I thought I understood burgers. Then Nevaeh put this thing in front of me. The patties have those magnificent thin, smashed edges pressed against the griddle until they develop a deeply browned caramelized crust. The edges are crispy while the center remains incredibly juicy. Then comes the cheese, melted into every irregular crack, crevice, and crispy edge until the beef and cheese essentially become one glorious substance. The freshness and acidity of the toppings cut through the richness, the sauce brings everything together, and somehow the bun contains this entire operation without collapsing under the enormous responsibility assigned to it. Nothing dominates. Nothing is unnecessary. Every ingredient seems to understand that its sole purpose in life is to make the next ingredient taste better. Then you reach for the IPA. That first cold, bitter, hoppy sip after the burger is borderline transformative. The hops slice through the richness of the beef and cheese. The carbonation resets your palate. The bitterness contrasts perfectly against the salty, caramelized crust. Suddenly you're ready for another bite. Burger. IPA. Burger. IPA. Childhood friend says something. Nobody hears him. Burger. IPA. Nevaeh walks by and somehow already knows we're doing great. At this point I'm wondering whether she received specialized training in burger logistics because her timing was almost suspiciously perfect. Need another drink? She's there. Need something for the table? Already handled. Want to actually enjoy a conversation with friends without constantly being interrupted? She understands that too. That's what makes Nevaeh exceptional. Great service isn't hovering over a table every four minutes. It's anticipating what people need while allowing them to enjoy why they came in the first place. Nevaeh absolutely mastered that. Somewhere between the Double Smash Burger, my second IPA, and laughing with two guys I've known since childhood, I realized something. Burgers have quietly followed me through my entire life. Family barbecues as a kid. Burgers after sports. Burgers with friends as a teenager. Burgers after long days. And now, decades later, every Wednesday after climbing, it's still the same thing. Same food. Same childhood friends. We're just older now. And apparently we've finally found the final boss of burgers. The Eureka! Double Smash Burger. So I'm prepared to make an extremely irresponsible statement: This is the best burger I've ever eaten. Could climbing-induced starvation have influenced this conclusion? Possibly. Could two IPAs have strengthened my conviction? Almost certainly. But I have enough experience in burger consumption to stand behind my findings. The Double Smash Burger is phenomenal. The IPA pairing is perfection. But Nevaeh is what turns the whole thing into an experience. She doesn't just bring you a burger. She arrives carrying the burger. She presents the burger. She understands the gravity of the burger. The end.

Steak had a lot of sauce on it which made it very salty and couldn't taste just the meat. Halibut was the better dish. The inside was actually a lot louder than we expected for a nice restaurant. Outdoor patio was more quiet than the inside, so we sat in the patio. Now to the service part. When we first arrived our host was attentive. Saw from our reservation mentioned we are celebrating our anniversary. She congratulated us and asked us to wait a few minutes while the table is set. A large group came after us and they got seated right away, but we figured it was because it's a large group and their table was ready. Fine. Then another couple came after us. The host called us up, so we went, then they changed their mind. They sat the couple who came after us first. Thought, well that was confusing and weird. Why did they call us up if they're just going to seat the other couple first? Whatever, we got seated soon after next to another couple. Our waiter came and greeted us. Everything was fine until mid meal. Mid meal, our waiter went to the couple next to us and congratulated them on their anniversary and offered them a complimentary dessert. We thought "wow they're celebrating their anniversary too! And that's sweet". Then another couple got sat on the other side of us. As they sat, the waiter said "I see you're celebrating your anniversary. Happy Anniversary!". That's when we realized, same waiter didn't say anything to us when we got seated. "Huh." We finished our meal, even ordered dessert. Our waiter gave us our check and still nothing. No congratulations. No happy anniversary. We left the restaurant feeling treated different and not great. Clearly all 3 tables were celebrating their anniversary and were seated right next to each other. We mentioned it in our reservation and that's why the host knew. But why were we blatantly treated so different by our waiter? It was the obvious difference that made us leaving the restaurant feeling weird and discriminated against. Why the inconsistency? Next time we're celebrating anything, we're spending our money somewhere else.

The fries that came with them were fresh, crispy, and nicely seasoned. Definitely will be getting this dish each time we come here from now on! The Straight to the Point Burger had a super tender patty that practically melted in your mouth, but I felt like it was missing something. Maybe a little more seasoning or a nice char on the patty would've made it better. The thick-cut fries we ordered separately were pretty basic and just lightly salted. The Angry Chicken Sandwich had a strong cumin flavor, and the spice definitely packed a punch. Overall, a great spot to grab drinks and food with friends as the service was quick! The Mango Ginger Fizz and Lucky Wings were my absolute favorites.

We were tired, hungry, and annoyed because of the delay, which was due to them having a huge event at their new patio. I felt they could've warned us when we walked in at 6:30 that there was an hour and a half at least wait and we would've gone somewhere else. Our server was the main saving grace of the evening. She was amazingly responsive, kind, and eventually offered us free drink, and dessert. Luckily, when the hamburgers came, they were "pretty good" is what my family said. I had the shrimp taco, which was not up to the normal standard. I would always recommend Bru for their hamburger, but I would also suggest that you call and make sure that you're not going to have a long wait

I am visiting Orange County and was looking for a unique restaurant to experience. I found this…read morerestaurant using Yelp and confirmed good ratings on Google. The restaurant is in a quaint and diverse shopping area, which includes a cinema... Lots of foot traffic and lights strung here and there. When I entered the restaurant, I confirmed that it's pretty small and all of the tables were full. fortunately, there was a counter serving area like the old style diners have. I ordered the beef Bulgogi bowl as I had read several of reviews that were positive about this dish. It was fantastic. The beef was perfectly cooked, mushrooms, perfectly cooked rice, a red pepper, cabbage mixture, and a whole pickled radish sliced into pieces. The dish was very good, including the sliced pickled radish, which was yellow and tasty, and this coming from a person who doesn't like radishes. I guess I just didn't know how to prepare them! The service was excellent. I believe it may have been the owner serving me, but I didn't ask. She was very attentive and checked on me regularly. I asked her about the dish and she took the time to educate me and answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend anyone in the area visit Han Sikdang... i'll definitely go back the next time I'm in town.
