Every dish we got was delicious and the drinks were exquisite- my favorites being the pork tomahawk and the pandan old fashioned.. The atmosphere was wonderful and the staff put in a lot of effort to keep the restaurant clean and running smoothly. I plan to make this a regular stop whenever I am in OC, and would heavily consider traveling from San Diego for the service alone. Truly well done!

I always bring friends from out of town to dine here because the restaurant is beautiful and to try Vietnamese breakfast. Their egg Vietnamese coffees are very popular! Reservations are definitely recommended if you have a large party or if you're planning to eat during prime brunch hours on the weekend. The dao - 10/5, I love the truffle oil, potato purée, and poached egg combo. Very elite appetizer here! Banh Mi Chao - 5/5, A staple Vietnamese breakfast, I always add on the Laughing Cow cheese. Beef belly and Filet Mignon are both good protein choices. This can easily be shared with 2 as the portion is large.

My "friend" picked me up curbside and hardly bothered to even fully stop her car. What a welcome. To Lazy Dog for a much needed drink... From the moment I walked in, the cool, relaxed vibe had me hooked. Just kidding, it looks like all the other sports bar restaurants. The bartenders and staff were genuinely super friendly and attentive, making my Uber driver and I feel right at home. Drinks were a highlight with super generous pours on both cocktails and beer. The medicine I desperately needed. My Lyft driver did not partake. A few shots in and I was finally ready to talk to my poor excuse of a chauffeur. The appetizers were good too. Paired well with the alcohol and helped wiped away a miserable start to the trip. Overall, Lazy Dog in Irvine delivered a great experience from start to finish. Whether you're coming for drinks, apps, or to forget a miserable flight accompanied by the world's worst driver this place is a winner. Highly recommend. I'll definitely be back when I need to survive the OC again.

The service was very kind! They checked in about allergies and changed gloves every time they prepped a hand roll for us. I got the six hand roll set with no substitutions and the truffle soy sauce! Definitely never thought of that combo, but will be making that at home moving forward! Every roll was delicious and felt proportionally filled. The seaweed was very crispy and never got too soggy. The pacing of the meal was just right as well. The crispy rice tartare is excellent and one of the better ones I've tried! The rice is the right level of crisp and there was a lot of tuna! It's a bite size, so it could be a little bigger given the price ($9). The inside mimics Kazunori with bar seating and the open kitchen. Nothing too special design wise but, I'm definitely looking forward to coming again!

Thanks Timmy for writing a review about this spot! I had the plate of fried chicken after the doctors lol as a treat to myself. Haha, probably not the best choice but at the time I just really wanted it. The pieces were large and the mashed potatoes had a nice light gravy on top. The coleslaw was also good. Next time if I have time I would like to sit down and enjoy it. The interior looks modern and comforting.

We ordered our drinks and we had ordered some happy hour sliders. The food came, but the drinks did not. Not only that, but the server did not check on us either throughout our dining, it wasn't until a nice older gentleman asked how we were doing and we reminded him of the drinks. He helped us out, brought our server, we relayed what we ordered, and then the drinks came. After we finished our dinner. The food, the people inside the kitchen, and the ambiance are good. I say this in the nicest possible way, please improve this area.

It's valet parking in the front, and it can be difficult to get parking nearby (but plenty of parking in the parking structure behind the gym). Food- 5 stars wild shrimp scampi- standard but delicious squid ink tonnarelli- perfectly cooked and bright. I would recommend sharing the pasta dishes, especially with contrasting heavy and bright dishes. the squid ink and braised short rib were excellent going back and forth between them braised short rib marsala- buttery, fatty, goodness. salted caramel budino- I couldn't get enough of the dessert.

My wife and I had both versions of the wagyu burger, and they were both very good. I haven't had a lot of wagyu burgers so I can't really compare with others ... I like the fact they have both styles of burgers -- the thick tavern-style as well as the thin diner-style. I would have liked my Cadillac burger cooked as like more like medium with a little pink earth l rather than well done, but because of the quality of the meat it was still pretty juicy. You can see from the picture that the side of fries is very generous. And this was the small! I do also wish they had onion rings as an option for sides, though. Overall, a great choice for a more up-scale burger.

We're more into the Thunderbird (chicken) and at one time served The Continental being turkey. For some reason on several occasions my wife and I have been asked for our drivers license to verify age in the purchase of alcohol. We're grandparents and the age is obvious. At first it was a chuckle and viewed as a novelty and now it's become an annoyance so our business goes elsewhere in the market place. I can only think that an employee in the past made a bad decision so now all have to pay the price. As a business they certainly have the right to ask for id but they could also use some common sense in their decision making.....
