    The Hubble
    Madeline P.

    Great hidden gem! They have all sorts of sandwiches and the staff is super friendly. It's a family owned business that deserves your support.They have the Hubble as their vegan option which is quite good. I don't know how they make their bread so perfectly toasted! My coworker says that the El Galáctico is amazing every time he gets it, 5/5.

    Breakfast Burrito with bacon

    Breakfast burrito with bacon is fire!! Love the mild heat from the pico de gallo. For less than $11 that's unheard of nowadays especially in Costa Mesa. The lady was really nice. It was hot and stuffy inside the cafe (maybe their ac was off?) so I recommend sitting outside. Will be back to try more things!

    Spring rolls
    lydia l.

    This place is a Gem! They have delicious lunch sandwiches and clean breakfast burritos ( not oily or too heavy) . It's a mom and pop and everyone is charming and nice. I love their Spring rolls, they make them fresh and they're huge. This place is affordable and delicious !

    Current menu!

    Amazing paninis, great service and convenient pickup! Have a few more items I can't wait to try. Also, there is a"secret" Pho menu if you ask about it.

    The Neutron to go

    Very welcoming for a tiny place. The food is very reasonably priced. They have a lot of drink options. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They also have close parking.

    Pastrami sandwich.
    Lu T.

    What a little gem near the airport and business Center. They make great sandwiches and Panini's. Their sandwiches are glazed and toasted with butter which is a big add. The pastrami sandwich was very good as well as the grilled cheese. I have a picky eater and she loved the grilled cheese sandwich. On Wednesday they do have some specials that include some Vietnamese dishes. Highly recommend.

    Family ran cafe, so welcoming and accommodating. New weekly specials on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Delicious eggrolls and springrolls everyday.

    The Galactic Panini
    Leyna H.

    Small mom and pop shop! The owners/workers are super nice and friendly. The sandwich was made fresh to order and I enjoyed it. Decent amount of food for the price ($12-13)! I would eat here again for lunch.

    Chicken pesto (ion)

    Wow great and amazing food! And the service is amazing great people. I will definitely be coming back.

    yes--- he sold two years ago

    Good place for airplanes spotting? It is so close to SNA. I don't think there is a restaurant near SNA with great views of the runways like the one in LA's Proud Bird…

    You can't see anything from the airport at the restaurant. If you want to take it to-go, you can eat and see the planes land and take off down Airway Ave and turn right at Airport Loop Dr. That is a good spot to watch the planes.

And I truly believe that they are not really made out to be a full-service restaurant as much as I like their dedication and drive. I had a reservation at 7 pm. I checked in at 6:45 pm. At 7:25 pm, they brought us in and did not have a table ready for us. They made a table then after a table left 15 minutes later, they rearranged us. I do not understand why you offer reservations if you will not actually honor the system. Around 8 pm, we asked if we could order as they had only brought water. Listen I understand. You're closing soon. You only had 1 server for the entire restaurant the weekend of Valentines. You have to go lean on the busiest last weekend ..? I don't actually understand. When all came to, they were not offering dessert because "they were saving it for Valentine's Day". No notification about when their kitchen closed and no asks if anybody wanted to order for to-go. On top of that, everyone did not have free parking and had to pay upon exit even with validation. You will do great as a ghost kitchen since the food was good and everyone enjoyed it. If you come back as a full service, I would seriously reconsider how you do business.

The cocktail selection is excellent, and the wine list offers plenty of great choices. The salads were exceptionally fresh, and the sea bass was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. There is plenty of parking available in the lot, which is always a plus. Since the restaurant is located in an office complex, it tends to get busy on weeknights after work. A weekend visit may provide a more relaxed experience. Overall, it is definitely worth checking out for the food, drinks, service, and unique ambiance.

The moment you walk in, you are greeted so warmly by the staff. I came with two girlfriends for dinner and our server was just so incredible.

For everyone who had to do multiple laps around the plaza's parking lot to find this place, you're not alone. We were struggling, but eventually found the restaurant tucked away on the outskirts next to a private training gym (the one with the super tinted windows). Upon arriving, the restaurant was very gracious to bestow upon us a pair of complimentary lemon and thyme dinner rolls. They were warm, fluffy, and everything a carb should be. Honestly wish we had more of them, to be honest! The menu was short, which was helpful in its own way. I have such chronic decision paralysis, meaning the more options I have, the more ordering conflicts I'll have, lol. Forever petitioning for every establishment to have tasting flights!!!! We ordered the Grilled Octopus Al Pastor and Ora King Salmon entrees. The octopus was a unique take on the dish, but I don't think I would order it again. I was hoping for more sauce and flavor, but it was more of a dry dish. Still something everyone should try at least once -- especially because feedback is subjective and my experience may not be yours! My friend enjoyed the salmon dish, but it looked pretty standard to me. They also brought out a complimentary Epresso Creme Brulee for my birthday, which was both figuratively and literally sweet. Very decadent and kinda had a nice tiramisu taste to it -- order this! The service was excellent and very attentive. Was very hydrated during this meal because my water cup was never empty! I would come back to try the other dishes with a larger group so I can pick at everyone else's plates, hehehe.

For years, Hangar 24 has been a place where families can gather, enjoy great food and drinks, listen to live music, and allow their children to safely play and have fun. It has created a welcoming environment that appeals to a broad audience, and that family-friendly atmosphere is one of the reasons so many people continue to return. Last night, however, I noticed a significant change that concerned me. Instead of having the live band perform earlier in the evening, a DJ played first and the band performed much later. Many people, including myself, came specifically to enjoy the live band, and the new format seemed confusing to much of the crowd. As I observed throughout the evening, very few people were dancing during the DJ set. Most guests remained seated, looking uncertain about the change. In addition, some of the music selections and volume level felt inappropriate for a venue that attracts so many families with young children. I noticed several children covering their ears, and many parents appeared uncomfortable. From my perspective, Hangar 24's customer base is largely made up of families. Those families purchase food, drinks, and often stay for several hours while their children enjoy the outdoor space. By scheduling the live band later in the evening, many parents are forced to leave before the performance begins because their children are tired or it is simply too late for a family outing. If the goal is to attract a younger nightlife crowd, a better approach might be to have the live band perform earlier in the evening when families are present and then transition to a DJ later at night for guests who prefer that atmosphere. This would allow both audiences to enjoy the venue without alienating the families who have supported Hangar 24 for years. I am sharing this feedback because I genuinely enjoy coming to Hangar 24 and want to see it continue to succeed. I believe many guests share these concerns, and I hope management will carefully consider how these changes may impact the loyal family customer base that has helped make Hangar 24 such a popular destination. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, A Concerned Customer
