    Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Sydney O.

    Portions were huge and the food was pretty good. I was disappointed in the fries because from what I've seen from other reviews they looked like they were supposed to be more seasoned and crispy. We came at breakfast time on a Saturday so they were pretty busy. The service reflected that as well as it was hard to get a hold of someone to get any extra condiments and even once we did the lady never brought the ranch we asked for. I loved that they have Asian inspired flavors for their dishes and will definitely be back to try some other dishes. They charge an extra dollar for the juice for mimosas even though that isn't posted on the menu just a heads up.

    Wow, i usually am not a breakfast or brunch person but this place is truly amazing in both the food and the service. You cant go wrong with the smash burger and the chicken and waffles as we wanted a brunch vibe. Not only was our server amazing, but the manager was so kind and attentive and has definitely won us over !

    Ube French Toast

    Service was exceptional! The owners are super sweet and you can tell they are very passionate about having Toast Kitchen. They offer outside and inside seating. Ube French toast 5/5 the French toast was not overly sweet. This is a plus imo! I liked how you can taste everything from the bread, ube, and maple syrup. Each individual flavor didn't overpower one another and it was a perfect balance.

    Such a cute brunch and cocktails for a chill Saturday! My close girlfriend and I met up for drinks and fries (a tradition of ours) and stumbled upon Toast. The staff were so friendly and sweet - I wish I got her name but she was the best and made us feel so welcomed. We got the pho fries and devoured it!!! Overall, not too pricey drinks and reasonably priced munchies

    Ube French Toast

    I had the best brunch at Toast Kitchen with my friends recently. We ordered several dishes to share so we could try different menu options. Ube French Toast (5/5) - This french toast was the star of our brunch. The thick broiche was delicious with the ube pastry cream and blueberry sauce. I loved that this dish wasn't too sweet but had amazing flavor. Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich (5/5) - This fried chicken sandwich was so delicious. The fried chicken was huge on the brioche bun, and the coleslaw was paired perfectly. Chilaquiles (4/5) - The chilaquiles were pretty tasty with the shredded pork and sunny-side-up egg. It had a nice tangy verde sauce. Pho fries (4/5) - Interestingly seasoned shoestring fries with a mixture of spices, including five spice

    If youre looking for a really good brunch place bit didnt make a reservation and dont want to wait ten years for a table, may i suggest: TOAST! Theyve got something for everyone and its all beautiful, unique, and delicious. They have a distinct filipino fusion vibe with a fully stocked bar and some coffee shop pastries/drinks. We got their mimosa flight and the flavors (yuzu, hibiscus, peach, and coconut) were all fantastic. And i havent seen them done before! My chilaquiles were absolutely delicious, not spicy but very flavorful, and i would LOVE to get those again. The egg was perfectly runny and the salsa fit the dish so well. Nice and crispy chips. Boy got the sisig burrito, and loved it. It was a good size and filled with pork and french fries with a good aioli. The korean chicken sandwich looked great, and the chicken and waffles were very interesting- i think they fry the chicken with something vaguely fish-tasting which was interesting.. but the chicken was very tender. We got a mango pie and it was just ok. Theyre beautiful, but save room for something else. There was no wait for our party of 4 on Saturday at 10am. Theres a big parking lot and indoor+outdoor seating. What a treat!!

    Love this place!! Literally no negatives about it!!! - Lots of parking - Quick, attentive; and friendly service (they speak English and Tagalog!) - Vegetarian options - Good lattes! - Cute, trendy, minimalist decor inside - Also able to just order from the bakery and go if you don't want to sit down and eat - Amazing pies!!!

    What a pleasant surprise this place was. A girlfriend of mine invited me here for breakfast and there was no disappointment except for the latte. I used to work in the coffee industry, and I can tell that either they use cheap coffee, they have not cleaned their espresso machine or their beans have been out for too long and are possibly expired. It is also possible that the grind is off or maybe it's something else. The latte tasted as if the coffee was rancid or old. My açai bowl was out of this world and my friends. Breakfast burrito was also delicious. The staff were very welcoming and wonderful and the place was spotless. Definitely coming back for the Basque cheesecake because we didn't get a chance to try it because I had to run.

    Thai Chilaquiles with chicken
    Vivian N.

    Thai chilaquiles (6/10) - this dish is normally made with pulled pork, but we were told we were able to sub it up for chicken, and it tasted pretty good still. My favorite part of the dish was definitely the pickled onions, they were the star of the show! Overall, I feel like the dish was somehow too sweet, yet felt like it needed some type of sauce. There were also a lot of beans which made most of the tortilla chips, too soggy and hard to eat. Ube latte (7/10) - it was very sweet and milk/creamy forward. So if you like that, it's a very good drink! I personally didn't taste as much ube as I was hoping for but still good.

    Joycelyn C.

    We came on Sunday around noon and waited for about 10 minutes before being seated. It was really nice inside also with a glass window for their baked goods as well! We ordered the Ube French toast, pork belly bowl, and breakfast sandwich. We were really surprised by the size of all the items and were really full by the end of the meal, but I was definitely impressed by how tender the pork belly was and just the flavor of the overall bowl ! I wished there was more sauce in the bowl. And the French toast was amazing (as an Ube lover) along with the blueberry sauce and blueberries (and I'm not a blueberry fan either). Would love to come back and try their other items!

    Chicken and waffle, coconut French toast
    Hannah Y.

    The service was top tier when I went! The vibes were very homey / cozy :) Also turns out I was the very first customer to try their coconut crusted French toast! It was super yummy and fragrant- honestly I don't even like coconut all that much but I sure did enjoy this. The workers personally asked for our opinion since we were the first to try it. Compliments to the chef indeed

    Parking - Small parking lot in the shopping center which fills up quickly. Ube Latte - This was tasty and not too strong of an ube flavor. You can add espresso if you want. Sisig Burrito - It's large and hearty. I enjoyed the combination of flavors but wish that it came with a sauce and possibly a side dish. Service - Our server was very nice, but the service was slow. Our dining experience took almost 2 hours from being seated to getting the check back after paying. Mini pies are a decent size and I ordered one to go since I was full from my meal.

    Sisig Burrito
    Juan B.

    I checked out Toast Kitchen & Bakery after browsing their menu and was interested in the variety of their unique options. The inside was nicely decorated for Christmas, which gave the place a warm and festive feel. Service was solid and we were seated quickly and taken care of right away. Unfortunately, the food wasn't what I expected. I had the sisig burrito, which is described as having pork belly, chicharrón, kalamansi mayo, and jalapeño. I was expecting tangy flavors and a bit of crunch, but it ended up being fairly bland and lacked the texture I was hoping for. We also ordered the fried chicken and waffles. The waffle itself was perfectly crispy and enjoyable, but the chicken was disappointing. The menu does not indicate it is fried in the same oil as fish, yet there was a noticeable fishy aroma and aftertaste that was very off-putting. It was especially unfortunate given how generous the portion size was but it ultimately went to waste due to the flavor. While some of their other menu items may be worth trying, this experience left me unlikely to return.

I really wish they would bring it back because it was one of the restaurant's signature dishes and a favorite among many customers. During this visit, I ordered the sliced pork and the jelly noodles. The sliced pork was incredibly tender, with a clean, fresh flavor that let the ingredients' quality shine. The jelly noodles were refreshing, spicy, and full of bold Sichuan flavors. The combination of heat, seasoning, and texture was simply delicious. The dessert was also surprisingly good. It reminded me of mochi, topped with puffed rice that added a pleasant crunch and contrast to the soft, chewy texture. If you're looking for authentic Sichuan food in Los Angeles, I highly recommend Sichuan Impression. The flavors are genuine, the dishes are consistently well prepared, and it's a place you really can't go wrong with.

As someone who has worked as a server, that stood out to me because I was always taught to remove my apron before entering a restroom.

The curry was aromatic and came as a silky, soup-like consistency that coated each udon noodle nicely. It had a deep umami flavor. The udon was the ideal texture - thick and chewy. As for the beef, it was very tender. We shared a crunchy roll on the side. It was cut into 8 pieces. Every piece was super crispy and delicious.

We ordered and noticed people who were seated much later than us got their food already. Another server who brought food to the table next to us noticed us and asked if we got our food yet. He double checked for us and main server hadn't sent our order to the kitchen. We had already waited 25 minutes in addition after placing our order. Our order came out very quickly after the realization. Unfortunately the lemon salmon sushi roll that came out seemed incredibly rushed. The roll wasn't tucked in so each piece we grabbed broke apart. The fried squid legs were good. The udon texture was good, but by the time our food came out, we weren't in the best mood. All the waiting and lack of service ruined our appetite. The 2nd server gave us a bag of salted noodle toppings to-go as a solace for the bad service? Though this location is bigger than the original, I'll be going to the Costa Mesa restaurant for better service.

The skewers are pricey, but if you order one, let it be the maitake mushrooms ($7). It's so meaty that you forget that it's not meat at all. Highly recommend. If you're sharing with a group or need some carbs, I recommend ordering the fried rice. I've had the prawn and pork versions and both are great.

To be fair, I'm not a crazy seafood lover so take it with a grain of salt. My father in law loved the mentaiko pizza. The pork was cooked well and tender but the sweet potato puree just was not it for me. Good thing at least my kids liked it. Seafood malfadine was just honestly somewhat bland, especially when you have dishes like the spicy miso carbonara which was my favorite thing there by far. The burrata caprese appetizer was also a complete hit as everyone in my party loved it--my 5, 3, and 1 year old devoured it. Service is very attentive and they made sure to give a small chocolate birthday slice with candle as well to help us celebrate my wife so I appreciated that. There was this blueberry dessert we also ordered that was fire but I forgot to take a pic and don't remember the name Biggest con as to why it would not be a regular spot I would frequent is price-to-worth it ratio is not there for me. Our total for 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and 2 babies was over $500. Now granted we did order lemonade drinks and like 1 too many pastas (had gotten 3 seafood malfadine) but even if I conservatively subtract $100 that's still over $60/adult. So while the food is good, personally I would say it's not good enough at that price point. But nonetheless a good experience!

    Wanted to show our support for Belacan Grill while they're still in Tustin. Been actually craving…read moresome of their dishes so glad we finally got to come by last Thursday. I've been a big fan ever since they opened in 2007ish, when I still lived in Irvine and started a Foodie Group at Columbus Grove. Belacan Grill is family-owned and the owner is the chef so the quality has not changed at all. The dishes I was craving: Calamari, Daging Kecap Manis (tender beef in sweet and spicy dark soy glaze) and the Belacan Fried Rice. Everything was as good as I remember. I was told their last week is end of August and moving to Orange (just 2 miles away) on Chapman and Yorba.

    Late night restaurant still busy but I don't have to wait. Service was extremely good thank you for…read moretaking good care of us. We almost didn't want the kway teow and wanted fried rice and server was holding it in her hand and said if we really really wanted to switch it out she could do it for us. We ended up trying the kway teow anyways but turned out to he a disappointment. Not enough flavor? Missing salt or soy sauce? Only the egg made it good BUT! Beef satay was perfect! Not chewy. Was so delicious with the sauce they have. I wanted additional sauce for togo but that's additional cost . And chicken pop was just perfectly fried and seasoned chicken. It was delicious. Not the same as taiwanese popcorn chicken since it has a different spice. Would come back again but not for the kway teow.
