    decided to celebrate Father's Day at this location with my parents and had the best time! Everyone here is always so kind and helpful with us ordering. Where a family that likes our meat so obviously most of us went for the chimichurri tri-tip and all different forms that it came in. Everything is always so good! I will say that the peru peri sauce has a slight kick to it but otherwise it was delicious! The brussels sprouts here are so bomb in season perfectly. Definitely try the lemonade because we kept going back for more! I have already been twice but i'm sure i'll be back!

    I've been to this location a few times now. I love the healthy selections and most recently I really enjoyed this seasonal sun and sea combo. The sea bass plate was my favorite. The Za'atar Spiced Focaccia Bread is great too.

    I didn't realize until I came to write this review that Bushfire Kitchen is a small chain of restaurants. I came with a friend to this Brea location for lunch on a weekday afternoon. It's fast casual dining where you order at the counter, you're given a number, and your food is brought to your table. The folks working here were very pleasant and provided great customer service. I ordered the Millionaire's BLT Sandwich along with a blueberry cream empanada and a housemade lemonade. The empanada was handed to me on a plate immediately after paying and I was given a cup to pour my own lemonade from the nearby dispenser. The interior has quite a few seats and more outside on a covered patio. We decided to sit on the patio and the food was brought to our table several minutes later. While we waited, I tried my blueberry cream empanada, made with some sort of blueberry filling mixed with cream cheese. It was a bit unusual but I liked it. My friend shared a bite of the veggie empanada (spinach, roasted corn, bell peppers, potato, cilantro, onions and pepper-jack cheese; served with a housemade chimichurri sauce). I thought this was okay, made tastier with the uniquely thick chimmichurri sauce. My Millionaire's BLT was pretty good, although the bacon was a bit too spicy for me and my low-tolerance for heat. This sandwich was served in ciabatta bread with sweet and spicy millionaire's bacon, lettuce, tomato and housemade mayo. Although I'd never had it before, I knew Millionaire bacon would be spicy but didn't think it would make my eyes water incessantly throughout the meal. The lemonade was very good. They also have a variety of Stubborn soda options. This was a decent choice for lunch but I'd definitely order a different, less spicy menu item next time.

    We came hungry and definitely ordered enough food to get a good feel for the menu. Everything tasted fresh and made with care, which is something we immediately noticed. The Surf & Turf Plate was our favorite. The combination of steak and shrimp was filling without feeling too heavy, and the Garlic Mashed Potatoes were so creamy. The Roasted Brussels Sprouts had great flavor and were a nice balance to the rest of the plate. The Tuscan Chicken Sandwich was another standout. The chicken was juicy, the flavors worked really well together, and the Sweet Potato Fries on the side were addicting. We also tried the Chicken Empanada and Mac and Cheese, both of which were comforting and satisfying. For drinks, the Raspberry Lychee Lemonade was refreshing and unique, and the Bushfire Red Wine Sangria was a great choice if you're looking for something a little more relaxing with your meal. Don't skip dessert either, he chocolate cookie was warm, soft, and disappeared way too quickly. This feels like one of those places where you can find something for everyone. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and plenty of options that go beyond the usual fast-casual experience. Service is great!

    Bushfire was more bush than fire. A friend and I came here not at all expecting what we got, it's customizable and the staff are friendly, informative and helpful, so that was nice and the empanadas just calling you alongside the cookie display case. Unfortunately they didn't have any coffee.. which I don't know why I assumed they'd have it given the cookies. There's options for meat eaters and vegans alike with good roasted broccoli/cauliflower and fine rice. The sauce is also fine just fine. I even got to try the blueberry and cream empanada but... sorry, it's too sweet for me and at that point I really wished I had some coffee. Food came out fast and fresh.

    Not sure what to expect, but was very pleasantly surprised by the food! Easy to order and the staff were all friendly, with plenty of health eating options. Most importantly, the empanadas were delicious. They have happy hour and definitely looking forward to going back to try it out.

    Saw the crowd every time we passed by to Brea Mall and finally bring the family to dine. Similar dining style with Panera or Corner Bakery. Plenty of healthy options. Nice modern dining area with Patio seating outside facing the street. Service was great and fast. Friendly. We did comment about the overcooked meat and the management responded in few days! That is a five stars customer service!! Food taste and portion is not bad at all. Typical quick dining and plating. Side dishes and some combo price are on the high side. Like a fine dining. Sides Sweet Potato Fries for $5.50? Good dining options in the area.

    3.5 STARS I was looking forward to giving Bushfire Kitchen a try especially because they market themselves as serving "high-quality, fresh and locally sourced fruit and vegetables" so we decided to order delivery via UberEats. Unfortunately, for $60 total, the portion size felt pretty small. I'm not sure if it's because we got delivery, or if the portion size would have been different had we ordered in-restaurant). We got the Grilled Chicken Bowl, Salmon Bowl, and a Quinoa and Power Greens Salad. The meat of the Chicken Bowl and Salmon Bowl were a bit too salty for me personally, but overall was decent and I wouldn't mind eating it again. I did enjoy the Butternut Squash of the Salmon Bowl! What was most disappointing was the Salad. The portion size was incredibly small and I was bummed to find it was topped with nothing but canned ingredients - mandarin orange segments you get from a can, canned garbanzo beans and canned beets on top a thin layer of greens, with a light sprinkle of quinoa and avocado slices that also were turning color. I was hoping for ingredients that would be fresh and not from a can so definitely felt let down. I can't speak to the service as we didn't dine in, but in passing by the restaurant multiple times, parking always looked ample and plentiful. I really wanted to like Bushfire Kitchen and am always excited to support and try new businesses in the area, but I'm not sure I'll find myself back anytime soon.

    The workers were really nice, and there are both indoor and outdoor tables to sit at. You order at the front, then they give you a number and bring the food out to you. It's definitely a healthier style restaurant and I really liked it. Empanadas (beef & chicken): Both were really good, i'd definitely come back for these! Surf and Turf: The sauces that came with it were really good. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the mixed veggies and brussels sprouts were delicious. The steak was a little tough to chew though. Peri Peri Burger: I wish the peri peri flavor was a bit stronger, but overall it was still a decent burger.

    As a parent of a child with multiple food allergies (peanuts, wheat, dairy, and eggs), finding restaurants where we feel comfortable ordering food can be extremely challenging. That's why we truly appreciate BushFire. From the moment we order, their team is attentive and takes allergies seriously. They have an allergy checklist that clearly identifies what ingredients are in their food, and they take the extra step to double-check everything to help ensure it is safe for our son. That level of care and communication means so much to our family. It's rare to find a restaurant where we can relax and enjoy a meal without constantly worrying. On top of the excellent service, the food is absolutely delicious! Thank you BushFire for creating a place where families with food allergies can feel welcomed and taken care of. We'll definitely keep coming back!

    Had a great meal at Bushfire Kitchen in Brea! One thing that immediately stood out was how accurately the food matched the photos on their website. Every dish arrived looking fresh, colorful, and exactly as advertised, which is always appreciated. The quality of the ingredients really shines through. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. The portions were satisfying without feeling overly heavy, and the flavors were balanced and delicious

    Ordered delivery through DoorDash on a Friday evening. The food arrived fast enough but the to-go box wasn't very secured and the sauce spilled a bit. The food was absolutely delicious in big portions. We had Peri peri chicken with cauliflower and mashed potatoes, Nashville spicy grilled chicken sandwich and lemon cooler cookie. I was surprised at how yummy everything was. They have great gluten free options and they use quality beef and chicken as well! We will definitely order deliveries from here again!

    I've been seeing rave reviews for Bushfire so I decided to check them out. Orders are placed at the counter and delivered to your table when they're ready. The staff is professional and efficient but not particularly welcoming. There is ample inside seating which is nicely arranged. There's also a very nice covered patio for outside seating. The food smells amazing as you walk into the restaurant! They offer a nice selection of bowls, salads, sandwiches, and sides. They also have a couple of small cases on the counter loaded with empanadas and desserts. Today I ordered the chicken empanada, their seasonal guava cream empanada, and a side of sweet potato fries. I've been on an empanada binge lately and I was particularly excited to try theirs. The chicken empanada was decent, but nothing really stood out about it. The guava cream one was delicious! I'd definitely get this one again! The sweet potato fries came with a peri peri mayo dipping sauce, which was a nice change from typical sauces. There were a couple of sandwiches that sounded good that I'm looking forward to trying next time.

We sat for over **20 minutes** without anyone coming to our table--not even to offer water. I eventually had to get up and ask someone to send a server over. What made it even more frustrating was watching other parties who arrived **15-20 minutes after us** receive water immediately and have their orders taken before anyone even acknowledged our table. After finally waiting another 10 minutes to receive our water, we had to track down our server again just to place our food order because no one returned to check on us. By that point, we had been sitting long enough and were more than ready to order. To make matters worse, we ordered an appetizer of coconut shrimp about five minutes after placing our entrée order, but it never arrived. After we had already finished our meals, we asked to cancel it, only to be told that our server had never entered the order in the first place. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the poor service. It lacked flavor and was very underwhelming. This experience was frustrating enough that I cannot recommend Reunion Kitchen. I initially wanted to believe this was simply an off day or an inexperienced server, but after hearing from two other people I know who described nearly identical experiences, it seems this may be a recurring issue. One thing that left me especially uncomfortable was seeing guests who arrived well after us receive prompt attention while our table was repeatedly overlooked. I can't say why that happened, but it certainly made us question whether we were being treated differently. I sincerely hope the restaurant looks into its service standards and ensures every guest is treated with the same level of respect and attention.

Sadly, I did not find what I was hoping to find. The place is clean enough upon entry and I was greeted somewhat quickly (once the cashier had finished her conversation with her coworker.) I ordered a cheeseburger combo with fried zucchini instead of french fries. The Coke from the machine was a bit flat. Bummer, but not the end of the world. Upon inspecting my receipt while I was waiting for my food, I realized that I had been charged full price for a cheeseburger ($6.59), a side of fried zucchini (a whopping $8.44), and a Coke ($3.89)...all together with tax, more than $20. According to the menu, you can make any burger a combo for an extra $5, and since a small fry is just a tad over $5, it's kind of like a combo is giving you a free Coke. It's a bummer that their system doesn't allow for substitutions, as this price did seem a little bit steep for what I was getting. When the food came out and I took a bite of my burger, I realized that I was going to want more 1000 Island spread than the burger had to offer (what can I say, I'm a sauce guy!) Surprise, surprise, - that turned out to be an extra $0.65. I had some cash on me, so I just gave the cashier a dollar and got back to my food. The burger was not bad. The fried zucchini had decent texture, but the breading was a bit thick for my preference and it lact flavor. All in all, the meal was just sorta okay. Price wise, it was definitely on the high side! I don't need for for restaurant meal that I enjoy to make me feel like I'm getting some kind of bargain, but if I'm paying premium pricing, I expect an outstanding. I don't see myself coming back.

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.
