    Lamb gyro wrap was freshly made and warm! Well marinated meats and tender inside a warm pita with fresh veggies and garlic dip. It was good! Staff were friendly and organized. The inside was spacious with many tables and clean. There are some seatings outside too. They even have a drive-thru! Be careful and look for Entrance and Exit. There are plenty of parking outside.

    Kabo kitchen. They got a banner that says no processed food. Everything fresh. And I can tell Kevin and Chris were super cool and helpful. With their help. Decided to get a fish bowl. And a salmon burrito. Both were really good. Fresh tasting. Good amount of food. And priced right. The burrito did get a bit soggy at the bottom but it was still very good. Plenty of fish. Salsa were good and their sauces. They are apart of the fresh of the boat group. Overall loved the experience and the food

    What a horrible experience this was. It supposed to be a fresh hamburger, They must have dragged it out of the garbage can, wilted wet green stuff and discusting onion,picked mess. Shame on the cook!

    Chicken Kabob Salad so fresh and delicious, plus the portion is very generous

    I've had a few of their menu items and they were all delicious! My favorites are their carne asada and chicken tacos, grilled zucchini,and the hummus and warm pita bread are always delicious!! I recently had their garden salad with sliced chicken kabob and not only do you get a nice portion but the chicken was perfectly grilled and seasoned. The staff is super friendly and efficient, there is plenty of parking. I've had lunch inside once and it was super clean with a simple nice decor. They also have a breakfast menu with a variety of coffee drinks, come check them out!

    New restaurant! They sent a promo in the mail for a BOGO entree so thought we tried it out! The workers are really nice and welcoming, the food is also really good! They also have a Taco Tuesday deal, $1.95 per taco. Ordered the Lamb Gyro plate ($13) and the fish and chips ($10) as well as an iced Baklava latte ($5) very unique coffee! The lamb was pretty good! Lots of flavor and comes with rice, pita bread and hummus, which. Was really good. The fish and chips comes with Cole slaw and their "crazy sauce." Very crispy fish and nice Cajun fries. Here is where there were some kinks they need to work out... 1. When I ordered there was some miscommunication. He asked if I would like my lamb gyro plate with just grilled veggies or with rice, hummus, and pita bread. I said rice hummus and pita sounds good, but he added grilled veggies and was charged $2. No biggie, the grilled veggies was nice but miscommunication, because I didn't really want it. 2. He asked if I wanted my Baklava latte with oat or regular milk. I said oat, there was a $1 charge, wish this was mentioned. 3. Since they were new I thought I'd check the bag before leaving, and good thing I did because they forgot the Krazy sauce for the fish and chips and coleslaw. 4. Also fries were lacking for the fish and chips very small portion (as you can see in my picture). I had more fish than fries! So lots of things they need to work out, but place has potential! I really enjoyed the food.

    I ordered their Cold Brew. It was okay. 2.5 out of 5

    The service here was absolutely great. The conversation I had with one of the owners was a bit awkward. The vibe of the place was up beat and lively. Servers bring your food to you if you're dining in. It gets busy l, but I was given my food at a reasonable wait time. The food... They had nicely seasoned fries. The burger was of decent size for being two patties. It got a little messy to eat after each bite. I think the patties were a little overcooked, but that just might be how they're supposed to be? I don't know, but it's definitely worth given l giving them a try nonetheless. I would give this place another shot.

    Kabo Kitchen is located near Santa Ana College and is the sister restaurant to Fresh Off the Boat. The have breakfast offerings, as well as bowls, plates, burgers, and various coffee drinks. The offer a mix of Mexican, Mediterranean and American fare. Medi-Stack Burger ($9.50) - This came with two stacked patties, krazy sauce, Jack cheese, fresh greens, tomatoes, and crunchy Persian pickles! Each patty must have been at least 1/4 lb, because this burger was filling! Everything tasted great, the only negative I have is that the burger can't be cooked medium rare and comes as it is, which is closer to well done. Chicken kabob salad ($10) - This came with a flavorful and juicy marinated kabob served atop some fresh greens. It was definitely reasonably priced. Baklava latte ($5 - large) - I got this iced and I felt the drink was a little too sweet for my liking so I would probably ask for it half sweet. I didn't taste much in the way of baklava here, but it wasn't bad. Overall I enjoyed the value proposition of the burger and the chicken kabob was fresh and tasted great.

    ordered to go for the first time here and everything was pretty decent. chicken can be a little bit on the drier side but i'd recommend mixing in the garlic sauce and some hummus with the basmati rice and chicken to moisten up the dish, but also add good flavor. the zucchini was roasted/grilled nicely as they were soft but still had some bite to them. the pita was soft and the hummus was very garlic forward, but i love garlic so i'm not complaining there! i'd order here again

    Baklava

    My first time visiting when we wanted an easy dinner after the day. We went with the gyro plate, ground sirloin plate, baklava and a side of gyro. I liked the gyro, rice and pita. The hummus was a little salty for me. Overall, I enjoyed the meal between all of us and plan to be back. Service was great for takeout and the stare was attentive and brought my Togo over to where it was seated. I enjoyed the place and the proximity to our home near Riverview Golf Course.

    One of the reasons we wanted to visit this restaurant was to try the NOLA Grilled Oyster Combo…read more($69.99). Along with that, our table also ordered: the quail with sticky rice ($20.99), salted fish and shrimp fried rice ($24.99), shaken beef with garlic noodles ($22.99), bok choy with sautéed garlic ($12.99), a hot tea ($4.00), Coca-Cola ($5.50), a mojito ($15.00), and a margarita ($15.00). With tax ($17.71), our ticket was $209.16 before gratuity. The NOLA Grilled Oysters come sizzling on a hot griddle, with four different fillings, four pieces each, for a total of 16 oysters. The price might seem a bit indulgent, but not if you consider the effort and ingredients that go into this presentation. Each type was flavorful, and there wasn't a single one I didn't enjoy. The salted fish fried rice was an interesting experience. I enjoyed the dish, though the salted fish was less salty than I expected. Someone in our group, who usually doesn't like salted fish fried rice because they find it too salty, actually liked this version for its milder flavor. The plate also includes four large shrimp. The shaken beef was tasty and tender; the garlic noodles were al dente and had just enough garlic--not excessive. The sautéed garlic added a smoky, nutty taste to the bok choy. The quail was marinated well and tasted good--but I wonder if it was fried just a bit too long. After this meal, I chatted with a friend who lives in the community. He'd been to this spot before but dismissed it as just another seafood boil joint. After our conversation, though, he said he'd be willing to give it another shot. I guess your impression of this restaurant depends, at least in part, on what you order. The service, by the way, was excellent. The dining environment was clean and comfortable, with plenty of television screens so people could keep up with World Cup matches.
