    Iunch special
    Makiko N.

    Located next door to Panera and California Fish Grill you will find this Korean fried chicken spot. I've always been curious, but never went... but the other day I was craving chicken and saw they had a lunch special of chicken + fries or rice and a soda for $14.99, so decided to give it a try. The lunch special wasn't available online, so I called in my order and it was ready when I got there. First impression cute shop with seating inside and out. Inside you will find k-pop bands playing on tv. I went after 1:00 so it wasn't very crowded either. The food - the chicken was nice and juicy, though it could use a bit of salt if eating without the sauce. I was a bit iffy about having my chicken drenched in sauce so I ended up getting it on the side and I'm glad I did. I ended up dipping my chicken in the garlic+soy sauce, which was good but could also be a bit over bearing. The fries that came with it were nice and crunch and full of flavor. The best part was this is a very generous lunch portion. With a rise in inflation, felt a bit like I hit the jackpot as I had lunch and dinner. All in all I'm glad I gave bb.q chicken a try and I'll be back.

    5 of PB buddies decided to have lunch together after pickleball drills. Service is good despite only one lady running the whole store. Overall, the establishment is clean, and modern fast food like. All 5 of us order 5 different flavors of boneless chicken lunch set with different flavors, sides, and choice of soft drinks. My choice is secret sauce! It's sweet with some spiciness. Mostly the sauce is very abundant. I like the chicken and the sweet potato fries! And it goes well with ice soft drinks. Using gloves is a nice touch. I don't like the taste of the batter or flour they used on skin, but maybe I am just sensitive. Overall, our party enjoy the lunch that's very filling and we have a good time eating and chatting.

    This was my first time trying this chain of restaurant. Customer service was really good, fast service. I ordered to take out there was no issues. The only con is their regular spicy chicken was a bit lack lustered. My favorite was actually the ones with the garlic flavor which kinda reminds me of Bonchon. It seems like a good hangout spot for quick lunch.

    Food: Kimchi fried rice - large portion, nicely cooked, and not spicy Soy garlic boneless - came with radishes, it was tasty but needed some more soy garlic sauce on top! Service: Good service, employees were nice. Ambiance: Indoor dining and to go orders. One restroom inside. Lots of parking available!

    While you wait you get some salted peanuts, cabbage salad, and a single mozerella stick with marinara sauce.

    PARKING (5/5): It's right off the 57 freeway and shares a huge plaza with several other businesses. It's always busy, but you'll always find parking. SERVICE (4/5): If you dine-in, they pretty much let you sit wherever you want, they'll bring a menu and take your order very quickly. The wings do take awhile since they make them fresh. I'd say about 20 minutes. FOOD (4/5): I only really like flats, and they only let you order that if they have the inventory for it, which kinda sucks. I told them I'd pay extra for it, but they just didn't have enough apparently. So docked one star for not even being able to pay for the substitution I wanted. Everything else was excellent here. $16 SMALL WINGS (8 pieces) - I choose the GANGNAM STYLE. Marked with only 1 for spice, I should've went for ! They are covered in sauce and super flavorful and crispy to perfection. It's more wings that I can eat by myself. While you wait you get some salted peanuts, cabbage salad, and a single mozerella stick with marinara sauce.

    Kimchi Fried Rice
    Jessica T.

    Conveniently located just off the 57 freeway in a large plaza with a huge parking lot. If you're dining in, you can choose your own seat. Staff quickly bring menus and take your order. The wings take about 20 minutes to come out since they're made fresh. Everything seems like it was made when order. They also get a lot of Togo orders. The food was fresh. We got the kimchi rice and one of the chicken options. Would recommend customers to order online a head of time for fast pick up on to go orders.

    The chicken is amazing. Excellent flavor and perfect amount of crunch. The online ordering system is really convenient and easy to navigate.

I love their chicken pad thai, but I also love their popcorn chicken. No joke, if they made their popcorn chicken a meal, and added a side of fries, that's what I would be getting every time. Anyways, my wife eat here every time we have a Thai food craving. I think I've spent more money on this restaurant than I probably have at anything else in downtown Brea. The service is always quick and helpful, and although the restaurant itself is small, it's always clean with a warm ambiance. If you're ever in the area, or if you're simply craving some good Thai food, check it out my guy. Also, the crepe place on the same street is pretty cool.

    Came here with my teenage kids last night…read more The fact that the restaurant was empty at 6:30 pm on Friday night should have been a clue. We order Cheese wanton -1/5 the "fried" wanton were served room temp on the out side barely crisp - and still cold on the inside. I was about to request they reheat them but my kids would rather die then draw attention Popcorn chicken - 2/5 crispy and hot but way too salty My kids ate the apps as they were hungry - both apps were served with sweet chili sauce out of a jar. We also order the shaken beef -2/5 the beef pieces was pretty good tender and flavorful the tomatoes in the dish were still cold in the center - the rice was average - the reason this didn't get a higher score they served wet salad with a sad dressing with made the bottom of the rice soggy and water down the beef sauce Pad see ew - 1/5 over cooked, soggy and over sauced - and still managed to be bland (is there even fish sauce in your kitchen?) Pad krapow -2/5 we didn't opt for a $3 dollar egg but it was the most Thai tasting dish - well seasoned- but not what one thinks of when you order Pad Kra Pow Over 1/5 - even with 2 hungry teenagers we didn't finish the food my son was like can you fix this if we take it home? Service - both servers were nice however they didn't really interact with us and we had to wave them down (in an empty restaurant) if we needed any thing - it wasn't till the lady was standing over us while I was attempting to pay that she spoke to us and asked if everything was good and if we needed anything else. After tax and tip almost $100 for food that had to fix at home

First off, the place looks nice when you walk in, but that's where the positives end. The service was painfully slow -- not the "busy restaurant" kind of slow, but the "did anyone remember we're here?" kind. We waited forever just to get water, and it somehow took even longer for the food. Then the food actually showed up... and wow. Bland, overpriced, and somehow still cold. It tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since last week. For a restaurant attached to a Hilton, I expected at least basic quality, but this felt like cafeteria food with steakhouse prices. To make things worse, the staff acted like helping customers was a huge inconvenience. No check-ins, no refills, no effort. Just vibes of "please eat and leave." Between the slow service, disappointing food, and ridiculous prices, this place feels like a tourist trap hiding in a hotel lobby. Save your money and eat literally anywhere else in Brea. Even a gas station snack run would be a better experience.

    Some places sit in the back of your mind for years…read more I first came to Macallan Public House more than a decade ago on a date and always intended to return. Life happened, years passed, and somehow I never made it back. Fast forward to today: I was driving my Tesla, jokingly asked Grok to take me somewhere for a beer, and it pointed me right back here. Walking in felt like revisiting a place that had been quietly waiting in the background of my story. The centerpiece is still the incredible bar. Shelves stacked floor to ceiling with whiskey bottles, glowing green tile behind the taps, warm lighting, and enough character that you can spend half your time simply looking around. It's the kind of room that feels both energetic and comfortable at the same time. I grabbed a seat at the bar, watched a soccer match on the TVs, and ordered an Old Fashioned. It arrived exactly the way I hoped it would: large clear ice cube, generous orange peel, balanced and smooth without trying too hard. Just a well-made classic cocktail. What stood out most was the atmosphere. These days I'm much more likely to be exploring hiking trails, photographing wildflowers, or driving mountain roads than spending time in bars. Twelve years ago, places like this were a much more regular part of my life. Coming back reminded me why I enjoyed them in the first place. Good conversation, a comfortable seat, a quality drink, and no rush to be anywhere else. The beer taps looked extensive, the whiskey selection seemed endless, and the entire place struck a balance between neighborhood pub and whiskey destination. Funny how a random AI navigation suggestion brought me back to a place I'd been meaning to revisit for over a decade. Glad it finally did. 5 stars.
