Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
4.8 stars across 28 reviews, a D health grade — those two numbers are not describing the same visit. Front-of-house tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.9 stars.
The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (25 of 28). Of the 28 rated reviews, 27 sit at four stars or better and 1 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on how much food arrives at all.
The inspection record is the harder read. DBPR graded this kitchen a D (69/100) on 2 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 9 basic violations — a verdict the review average does not reflect. The visit behind that grade was April 8, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. On health score it sits safer than 8% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited cross-contamination and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.
Taken together, this is a place diners like and inspectors do not. A good meal and a clean kitchen are different questions. Full reviews follow below in the order they were left.

I have been a patron of this establishment for many years now and regrettably report the food quality has unfortunately worsened over time. I'm not sure if they hire new chefs or what but the taste of the dishes is very mediocre at best.
