Been going to this place and never thought about about giving it a review hehe…read more Here I am... Back at this place a hundred times. This place offer so much. The SFS city rep helps you with every question you have. They also offer a lounge for junior high and high school students to hangout. There's all kinds of activities for them to relax and hang out with friends after school. They always have a staff on floor to monitor them. That's pretty cool. Wished I had that available when I was a kid. They offer a lot of classes for resident and non-resident. I can't express how much I love this city :)

Located off Telegraph in Santa Fe Springs near the 605 fwy. The parking lot is not big. The Town…read moreCenter is pretty nice. Came here for an all in one Wedding. The set up was really nice the room was pretty big good enough to have 20 tables or so with about 8 at each table. Good size dance floor and places for a buffet style food, drinks and desserts. Overall a nice place to hold a wedding party or some other gathering.

You absolutely have to see a film at the Old Town Music Hall!!!!…read more We went for my partners birthday and it was so exciting to see the 100 year old Wurlitzer in all its glory. We saw a rare Gloria Swanson silent film along w a talk by a brilliant film historian. Every show opens with a little performance but we were lucky enough to see a silent film which means that the organist live scores the entire film just as it would have been done in the 20s ! Such a special experience, and a must for any fans of music, film, and LA history.

Just when you begin to lose faith in humanity, you run into a spot like this…read more I've lived nearby for almost 9 years yet didn't discover this gem until a few months ago. I'm constantly going to revival and old theaters like The Egyptian, New Beverly, and Aero theatre and wanted to add this one to the rotation. Essentially, they transport you back in time to the early 20th century when movie theaters started taking off! And not just about the old films they show, we're talking OG Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle and lobby cards and photos on the wall. A giant Wurlitzer organ where our organist started off the night's festivities with a few words of history and a few songs on the organ. We even did some sing-alongs lol. Everyone in the red vests are volunteers keeping this running. You can sense the deep passion they all have for preserving this history and a deep love of cinema. Got a brochure calendar for showings through June and will now make sure I come out at least once a month.

Irvine is clean, extremely safe, organized, and easy to live in day to day. Many residents are…read moregenuinely kind, thoughtful, and invested in the community. For people from more direct or informal regions, interactions can feel distant or hard to read. It is usually a preference for politeness and conflict avoidance rather than exclusion. Since the pandemic, service quality remains strong but feels less consistent. Before 2020, systems ran predictably and informal trust helped smooth out friction. Parking has long been an issue around the university. Permits and campus parking costs are frustrating for newcomers. The upside is that you can almost always find a spot though.

Likewise, the city of Irvine itself is my absolute favorite in the entire country, and probably the world, so I'm grateful to be able to live here now.

Finally made it out here tonight and it's very crowded since everything is free for the community…read more Lines have already formed by 5:30pm to see Snoopy. Write letters to Santa, take lots of photos, watch Kids Imagination show on stage, take the small Xmas themed train etc. Parking is horrendous but we luckily found one in front.

A big thank you to Richard at the counter for being so friendly, helpful, and efficient. The entire process went very smoothly, and everything was completed in about 20 minutes. Starting June 12, 2026, I officially became a California Notary Public for a four-year term! A quick note for anyone visiting: parking can be a little challenging. Richard mentioned there is a free parking lot behind the building, but I wasn't sure which one he meant, so I decided not to risk it and parked elsewhere. Overall, a very smooth experience thanks to the helpful staff!

Not all government offices are created equal -- and this one actually runs well…read more I came in to record a quitclaim deed and fully expected to block off half my day. Instead, I waited maybe 5-10 minutes max, and from check-in to walking out the door, I was done in about 25 minutes. The process was straightforward and efficient. My documents were reviewed carefully (which I appreciate -- better to catch anything on the spot), fees were handled quickly, and nothing felt chaotic or unclear. The staff were professional, direct, and clearly knew what they were doing. The office itself was clean and organized, and the flow made sense. If you come prepared with your paperwork completed correctly, this location runs like it should. Efficient. Professional. No drama.

Went to this library to return some books I checked out at another location. The worker at the main…read moredesk who helped me was friendly and answered all the questions I had. There are two levels: upstairs mostly holds adult books and then downstairs are for kids and teens. I LOVE that they have a "lucky day" section upstairs and I was able to pick up a book that's been on my list for some time. There are many tables with outlets and it was pretty clean. Overall, I would definitely come back!

Of course you can have a book shipped from any OC library to one close to you but I was curious about the Tustin library, never having been there. I walked in and my first impression - it's HUGE. An enormous lobby with a large children's section to the right and a larger adult area to the left. The library was neat and well organized - I found the book within a minute. So I browsed around a bit and ended up getting a couple others too. On my way to check out my books I passed a classroom full of computers, and it appeared as though some sort of class had just adjourned. Other reviews mention it is a bit noisy here but I honestly didn't experience that on a weekday afternoon. Since I did self-checkout, I didn't interact with any of the librarians so I was unable to impress them with riveting conversation about the Dewey Decimal System.
