He was so attentive and very patient. Our group was chatty and spent a lot of time catching up before ordering, and he was very understanding and didn't rush us at all. We ordered so many dishes and all of them were delicious. The appetizers we got (Chicken wings, Spicy Wontons, and Fried Calamari) tasted great but small in portion considering the price. For entrees, I was super impressed with the Pork Tomahawk. It was very tender and flavorful. The Seafood Tom Kha pasta was unique and delicious. Steaks were prepared perfectly as well. We had a great time. For drinks, my friends liked the coconut ube brew. I had the sugarcane kumquat, it was too sweet for me.

Rol Handroll Bar in Irvine has become a regular stop for my wife and me -- we've been back a couple…read moreof times, and it keeps earning the return trips. The ambiance is intimate by design: the bar seats only 20-30 people, wrapped tightly around the sushi counter. It's not the spot for a date night or a family outing, but for a quick lunch with one or two people, it's ideal. Service is speedy and consistently kind, which matters given the counter's close quarters -- everything moves efficiently without ever feeling rushed. Drinks are what you'd expect from a sushi bar: a solid rotation of Japanese beers and sake. Nothing adventurous, but a good, reliable selection. The food is where Rol shines. My wife and I always order a variety of rolls -- this visit, she loved the blue crab and scallop, while I couldn't get enough of the spicy tuna. The wasabi sauce and truffle soy sauce elevated everything, and are reason enough to keep coming back on their own. I've also had the truffle nori roll twice now, and while it's genuinely very good, I don't think it justifies the extra cost over the standard rolls -- the regular menu is strong enough that the upcharge doesn't feel necessary. Expect to spend around $50 per person for a satisfying lunch or dinner. All in, Rol Handroll Bar is a great go-to for an elevated casual, satisfying meal -- just don't expect it to double as a date-night destination.

My son called Culinary Dropout and spoke with Olivia, the hostess, to see if the kitchen was still serving. Olivia responded with genuine warmth and kindness, assuring us that the kitchen was still open and that they would be happy to welcome us. From the moment we arrived, Olivia's hospitality set the tone for an exceptional evening. She greeted us with a warm smile, made us feel genuinely welcome, and promptly seated us. Shortly after, our server, Layla, introduced herself. Despite the late hour, she was energetic, engaging, and had an infectious enthusiasm that elevated the entire dining experience. She expertly recommended several cocktails, along with a glass of wine, and her knowledge of both the bar program and the menu was impressive. Her recommendations for appetizers and entrées were spot on. We decided on the Wagyu Pigs in a Blanket, BBQ Nachos, and the Spicy Rigatoni. Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. Another team member, Emanuel, delivered one of our dishes and was equally personable and engaging. He took the time to share information about the restaurant, further demonstrating the outstanding level of hospitality displayed by the entire team. Manager Dave also stopped by our table to check on our experience. We shared with him that this was, without question, one of the best dining experiences we've had in Orange County in quite some time. Great food certainly matters, but it was the exceptional service, genuine hospitality, and positive energy of the staff that made the evening truly memorable. A sincere thank you to Layla, Olivia, Emanuel, Dave, and the entire Culinary Dropout team for creating such a first-class dining experience. We look forward to returning soon and will gladly recommend your restaurant to family and friends.

I explained that we are not interested in their entertainment and would be gone before then but they said no. This is a walk-in without prior reservations. I had my toddler and only wanted to stay for 30-45 minutes. Yes, our hookah sessions are that short because we don't all smoke and the ones who smoke keep it short to be courteous to the rest of the group. On a separate visit, i had reservations outdoor a week in advance and when we got there, there was no table for us. After some time, they managed to "make us" a table so not sure what was the point of reservation.

I found the cocktail to be slightly too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good (fragrant and well-balanced). The short ribs were tender and soft, cooked in a perfectly savory sauce with a hint of sweetness, and served over smooth mashed potatoes. The steak was also cooked and seasoned well. We all loved the maple pecan Brussels sprouts. I often find this dish to be overly oily or sweet, but this one was done very well. The Brussels sprouts were well-seasoned with the perfect hint of sweetness and cooked perfectly, not too soft or too crunchy. I will say that the restaurant's lighting was excessively dark. I don't mind dim lighting for ambiance, but it was so dark that I had to lean in close to my food and squint to see it clearly, which felt a bit excessive. Additionally, the green beans were slightly too old and fibrous, although they were cooked well. This was a shame because if they had used younger, fresher green beans, it would have elevated the dish and paired much better with the well-prepared meat. Overall great experience and would definitely come back! :)

My friends and I ordered the Wagyu Smash Burger. It was a little on the greasy side, but really good. Not one of those giant weirdo burgers you need two hands and a strategy to eat just a regular-sized burger packed with flavor. The grilled onions, jalapeños, and cheddar cheese were tasty. The atmosphere was loud, busy, and energetic. Honestly, I can't even remember if there was music playing because the place was so lively and smoky from the grill. There's a bar right in the center that adds an upbeat vibe and they also have outdoor seating if you want a little more breathing room.
