It's such a beautiful sound that touches your soul and grabs your heart. Even if you're a non believer, one would appreciate the beauty. Location is very convenient (off 5 fwy)! So happy there's this beautiful masjid here in Irvine. I was a bit weary of the parking, especially coming for Tarawih prayer. I got in a lil after 8 & there was still lots of parking! I ended up parking in the New Horizons School parking lot. The street parking was full. I am not sure how full the actual parking was in the lot of the masjid. By the entrance there were workers directing people in where to park. The atmosphere is just lovely. The interior feels very very clean & I loved how the sisters area is a mezzanine, & not just a separate room completely blocked off (if you have been to other masjids you know what I'm talking about lol). It was a bit hot in there, which is probably my only complaint. The speakers here were so good & the sound was on point. The way it echoes throughout the masjid is just heartwarming! I love going here so far, the recitation is just amazing. Can't wait to come back again!

Temple Review: Unfair Treatment and Favoritism by Volunteer (Komal/Reeta)…read moreI am writing this review today because my friends and I finally found out the name of the woman responsible for pushing us away from this temple: Komal (also known as Reeta). For a long time, many of my South Indian friends and I faced continuous issues with her, but because we didn't know her name, we couldn't properly address it in a review until now. Unfortunately, this was not a one-time misunderstanding. This happened to us an uncountable number of times. Here are the main reasons why we, along with many other South Indian families, have completely stopped attending this temple: Targeted and Rude Comments: Komal/Reeta is usually the main person distributing the prasad. She consistently targets South Indian devotees with unwelcoming comments, telling us things like, "You need to volunteer and not just come here for the prasad. These insulting remarks are selectively directed at us while others are welcomed warmly. Favoritism During Kanjak Puja: During Kanjak Puja, she deliberately hoards and distributes the gift bags to her own relatives and circle, completely ignoring the children's ages. However, the moment our kids line up, she suddenly claims that the bags are "finished." It is heartbreaking to see children discriminated against in a place of worship. Gatekeeping the Temple: Multiple devotees have noted that she treats the temple like a private club, making it clear she only wants her specific circle to be there. Enabling a Hostile Environment: Her friends and family members have now started mimicking her toxic behavior. Because her inner circle behaves the exact same way, the temple environment has become incredibly toxic and unwelcoming.

The changes keeps happening, but it is always filled with shops--no empty, open space. I like to walk my nephew's dogs here. They like it here as well. Everyone is happy. Ray out!

Lol It's sure a fun place to walk around after a full meal and the variety of choice to choose from fancy sit down restaurants to fast food, quick grab a bite, there's outdoor seatings available every where. Also if you use Capital One credit card, you can grab a coffee for a discount and enjoy the AC indoor. Cool right? The main attraction is the water play area for kids to enjoy during this hot weather. Overall, I love coming here to spend half a day window shopping and pigging out lol ~~ most stores are outdoor and there's plenty of parking spaces around the Mall.

After a few aborted attempts over the years, we finally made it to St John Chrysostom for a Sunday…read moreservice and we're so glad we did. We had heard some great things about their former Rector, Rev John Taylor and wanted to hear him preach. Well, we waited too long. Last weekend he was consecrated the Bishop Coadjutor for the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. Congratulation to him and his family. The new Rector, Rev Christopher Potter gave an inspiring homily. He preached on Matthew's gospel -- on the sower of seeds, on both rocky and fertile soil. It was new and insightful (as well as clever). We liked it very much. We were also very impressed by the sincere and welcoming presence of everyone to two visitors from Scottsdale. It was also nice seeing how everyone greeted each other as friends, in a relaxed and genuine way. It made us miss our time here as being too short. Services at St John's Chrysostom are at 8:00 and 10:00. Btw, the summer choir has six section leaders, who are outstanding -- so you are in for musical treat! So come to hear the gospel preached, stay for some fellowship and marvel at their spirit. Peace!

As the website notes, "What Our Members Say: 'St John's provides real sense of belonging.'" I have…read morebeen a member since 2009 and have since become involved with several ministries, including the St John's Mom's Club. I have made friends of all ages and feel deeply connected to this church family. As another reviewer mentions, the service is similar to a Catholic worship in ceremony, but Protestant in our beliefs. We read from the Bible every week and we have a fantastic sermon, either from our vicar, Father John Taylor, or our associate vicar, Mother Martha Johns. The sermons are posted on our website, www.stjohnsrsm.org, and they are often filled with many thoughts that I will ponder for weeks to come. My daughter enjoys the Sunday School program and once she hits 6th grade, she will join the youth group. When she was little, she went to the nursery and really had fun playing with the friendly staff. Our church is involved in many other ministries including Habitat for Humanity builds, a monthly Food pantry, a support group for caregivers, multiple Bible studies, etc. If you are looking for a new church family, I would highly recommend St John's, where all are welcome.

I went with JFK Moving based on their strong online reviews and expected a professional, reputable…read moreexperience. I'm a military member and have moved roughly 15 times over 20 years, so I have a lot of experience with movers. This was my final move, and I wanted it done right. To be fair, the actual packing and transport of heavy items was handled competently. For roughly the first 90% of the move, everything appeared professional and legitimate. I won't take away from their crews' ability to physically move items. Unfortunately, once an issue arose, the experience deteriorated quickly. A large OLED TV stopped working after the move. There was no visible external damage, which made the situation more nuanced. What followed was a prolonged, circular claims process that felt designed to wear the customer down rather than resolve the issue in good faith. Communications became repetitive and legalistic, with responsibility repeatedly deflected rather than meaningfully addressed. What ultimately concerned me most was speaking directly with the television repair technician JFK Moving used. He told me he was pressured to put in writing that the issue could not have been caused by the move. He declined to do so, explaining that he could not definitively determine causation either way. I did not ask him to make any statement on my behalf, nor did I feel it would be appropriate to do so. That interaction raised serious ethical concerns for me. I also found the company's written responses to rely heavily on templated, AI-style language that felt impersonal and dismissive rather than transparent or solution-oriented. As a customer, it came across as an attempt to grind down a legitimate claim through process rather than engage honestly with the facts. I understand that the moving industry operates on tight margins and that disputes are complex. I was not expecting full replacement value, and I've resolved similar situations amicably with other movers in the past. In those cases, neither side "won," but the outcome felt reasonable and fair. That was not my experience here. I can't say whether JFK Moving is worse than every other mover, but I can say that when a dispute arises, their approach left me disappointed and concerned. Based on my experience, I would not use them again and would not recommend them to others. Write to Tim Jenkins
