This Place Is Awesome!!…read more I am not sure where to start on what I liked about this place.. This place was recommended by friends from Chicago.. From the moment we walked in the door we were greated by a friendly employee and he made us feel like we were gonna be taken care of.. The place looks like a pizza shop and has a total pizza vibe inside.. The place was clean and the seating was comfortable.. Ok... On to the food... We started with the bacon artichoke dip.. That was sooooooo good and just the right amount of cheese... Yum Yum... We also ordered a medium thin crust pepperoni pizza (to eat there) and we ordered a medium stuffed deep dish with mushrooms, pepperoni, and sausage to bring home for a dinner in a few days.. The thin crust pepperoni was so good.. I am a pizza snob and this was pretty damn good that I struggled to remember when the last time I had pizza this good..I am being honest too.. The deep dish we did a half bake so it cooks easier in our oven at home.. Smelled good in the car for the 90 minute drive home.. Shout out to Chris.. You could tell he cared about the products.. He asks if you have been there before and then helps you decide the right pizza to make your visit the best.. I liked that.. We had a couple of beers to wait for the pizza.. Thank You Chris M.. for a great visit!! Just remember good food is always worth the wait.. Everything is scratch made and it shows in the product when you are eating.. This place also doesn't break the bank either.. Last thing... The Restrooms are clean.. That matters as it reflects on the rest of the restaurant.. THANK YOU RANCE'S !! You Truly Earned My Future Visits..

We finally made it over to The Ranch, and we left impressed!!…read more First of all, be sure to have a chunk of cash saved and ready to go, because it is definitely pricey. We were not planning on getting cocktails but they ended up sounding so good. I got the Rhubarb Rendezvous and Steven got - I think it was called Now You See Me. Both delicious. We then opted for apps. Steven had the wedge salad and I got the corn and roasted peppers bisque. Absolutely delicious. Unfortunately my soup was on their main rotating menu that I was told changes every two to three weeks. Now you see me, now you don't I guess? The main menu changes also, but less frequently. I was very tempted to try the lamb on the short farm menu, but since I hadn't seen it on their site, I went in planning to get halibut, and I did. It was also delicious but I'm sure the lamb would have been too. Steven got the filet and what do you know? A restaurant that cooked it the way he wanted the first time. We followed our meal with their Milky Way dessert which was unique and their take on a milky way bar, and delicious. Zero complaints about our food and drinks. Service was top notch!! We were checked on constantly, our waters never made it to even half empty, and there was constant staff helping take the plates and bringing the food as well. Great experience!

After 12 years of living in Anaheim, decided to finally give The Ranch a try. We were celebrating…read morea birthday, and honestly didn't have the gusto to drive to LA for a nice meal. The service was warm and professional. The waitstaff and hostess were welcoming. The space itself was dark, but fits the bill for a steakhouse Since it is an "upscale" restaurant, I will be holding the food to a higher standard. I don't often dine at steakhouses, but my frame of reference was my other event steakhouse experience at Carver Steak in Las Vegas... which I thought was just fantastic Now onto the food: Free bread. We arrived at 5 (early). I dunno what time the bread was baked.. but was pretty dry on the outside, like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time. Was fine. But not craveable. A few pieces were pretty inedible Appetizers: ahi tuna tar tar and scallops The tuna tar tar was a flashback to 1980s tuna towers. It really didn't have much flavor at all, but looked nice. Instead of the typical avocado , it was served with a pea puree underneath that turned an unappetizing color as it mixed with the tuna. I added some salt in hopes of it tasting like something .. but it didn't help it much The scallops were actually really nice. They didn't get much of a sear in the cook, but tasted great. I'd say they were the highlight of the dinner The wedge salad was next. The toppings were all top notch. The dressing, bacon, cheese , onions. All great. Sadly.. the lettuce seemed past its prime. It was chewy like cabbage .. my dining partner commented on this as well.. and was brown and bitter in the.middle. Still, there was enough dressing to mask it. Next we split the ny strip (regular menu) with a side of cauliflower au gratin (seasonal menu) I'm glad we decided to split a regular steak vs the larger ones. It was plenty for two. The steak was ordered medium rare, and arrived closer to medium. It was seasoned well and had some nice grill marks. By its texture, I am assuming it was initially cooked sous vide, and finished on the grill. I would rather just have it cooked on the grill as I feel the flavor and texture comes out better. The steak itself ate a bit tough, but not horribly so. The cauliflower I wouldn't recommend. It appeared to be parboiled in aromatics first and finished in the oven. There were still whole peppercorns and cloves on the cauliflower so be aware not to eat those. The dish ate very dry. I was expecting a cheesy creamy cauliflower.. instead got a dry whole roasted cauliflower with dry cheese and breadcrumbs on top. We only ate 1/4 of this and my partner took the rest home along with half of half of his steak to be polite On a side note. They don't take Apple Pay. So be aware of that. So it comes down.. would we return to The Ranch? Nope. Don't see it happening. For the price point, I think we should get better overall food.

Stopped by Irvine for some errands and swung by 99 Ranch Market on the way back…read more Tried the BBQ pork (char siu) from the deli and it was actually pretty decent. The chicken though... very bland. Back in March, I noticed when you walk in, the whole right side had a big section of popular Taiwanese souvenirs like Taiyang Tang sun cakes and Chia Te pineapple cakes. On the left side, they even had Taiwanese oil noodles, which I don't usually see at Vietnamese markets, so I grabbed a pack. I'm so used to shopping at Vietnamese supermarkets now. Mostly because around where I live, if you're looking for Asian groceries, it's usually either Korean markets like H Mart or Vietnamese supermarkets, so that's kind of become my baseline. Vietnamese markets are usually cheaper, but if you're specifically looking for Taiwanese products, the selection is pretty limited. Same with H Mart, they have some but not a lot. If you want the widest selection of Taiwanese items, 99 Ranch is honestly still the most reliable option. Prices do feel a bit higher overall compared to what I'm used to, but the variety and convenience are hard to beat.

I love their passion and enthusiasm, starting with their "freshest bread". The oven-to-plate brioche is a signature starter that reflects their values, their commitment to getting you the freshest food they can. The Greenest Salad goes so well with this, and all the veggies taste like they were just picked from the field. They procure many top-notch ingredients, and most of the preparation is simple so the food can speak for itself. My favorites from that night include the Mussels Croquetas which had beautiful bits of shellfish and a cream sauce that was to die for. They also made the first Paella I've ever liked, and their Lamb is the most delicious I've ever tasted. There is a dessert that I hope they never stop serving. The Kougin Amman ice cream sandwich is a genius pairing, especially because they just might make the best pastry in the world. I love the up close and personal approach, and the ingredients are incredible. A fun little splurge if you're in the area.

Parking is never a…read morereally big issue here (just be careful cause the spots are small!), since people are always coming and going in this busy shopping center. I appreciate that there is hot food available for purchase, there are lots of grab and go items throughout the supermarket, and there is an array of Asian fruits that are sometimes hard to find in traditional grocery stores. The staff are helpful (if you need them), and the line moves pretty quickly. If you are a frequent shopper at 99 ranch, be sure to take advantage of their special member deals (and make sure they have your phone number on file!). The grocery store smells like a traditional 99 ranch market, it's clean, the shelves are always well stocked with plenty of items, and let's face it - if you don't find anything that you want to immediately eat at this grocery store, or in the hot food area, there are a bunch of other establishments closeby. You are bound to find something to satisfy your appetite!

They are mindful in their farming practices, ethical in their animal treatment, and you can taste the love. I was vegetarian for most of my life, mostly because felt guilty eating animals. When my health began to become effected by my lack of animal proteins, I slowly began to introduce meats. I bought from Whole Foods, it was "pasture raised," it was pretty tasty, but I had a hard time digesting it. A few years later I started buying my meats from a farm in Nor Cal and having it shipped. I didn't like that everything was frozen but I knew it was better than the grocery-bought stuff. Once I switched to Da-Le, was when I REALLY understood how important the methods of animal care are. The farm I purchased from prior, had no intel on feeding or culling methods, and when asked how they tended their animals, their response was, "we do what we want and they do what they want, we don't really tend them." I like the idea of free-range animals, but the vendor then went on to explain that they travel for great lengths of time and lots of people come and help out. It felt disconnected to me, like it was all for profit not out of love for the methodology of farming and providing the community with great food. Anyway, this is not about the "other guys," this is about Da-Le. I have built a beautiful relationship with Ashlie and her Laguna Beach Farmers Market crew, they always make great recommendations, and are truly engaging when you come to their booth. I don't feel rushed, I feel cared about! 3 years later, I am writing blogs for Da-Le, something that brings me the deepest joy, because I am so passionate about sustainability and wellness. My digestion of meats has greatly improved, and I personally feel it is because the animals live low-stress lives and eat quality food. I feel good about my consumption of meat when I support operations like Da-Le, and my body does too!
