Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Across 29 reviews, opinion here is genuinely mixed. Where service comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.
One subject never comes up here: how long an order takes. 29 of 29 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 0 are two or lower. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (28 reviews).
The kitchen graded a C (75/100) on 2 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 6 basic violations at its last inspection, which is roughly where the reviews sit too. DBPR last walked in on June 15, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is downward over the records we hold. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 12% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored and clean clothes.
This is a listing where the two measures each tell half the story. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.
