What diners say — our read

One subject runs through these 26 reviews more than any other: the staff. Front-of-house tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.5 stars. Freshness and temperature is the next most common subject, in 23% of reviews (averaging 4.7).

The split is 22 positive to 1 negative across 26 rated reviews, with 3 in the middle. Speed of service shows up in 15% of reviews as well, averaging 5.0. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (22 of 26).

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a C (70/100), citing 3 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 3 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was September 10, 2025. The trend across inspections is decline. 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.

Neither signal is decisive on its own here, which is why both are shown. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    The food was good. Reminds me of an Asian chipotle. The line also moved fairly quick so I would recommend if you come here.

  • June 28, 2026

    I used to come here religiously, but finding hair in my food on two separate occasions and then seeing the menu change with the removal of the blackened chicken…that’s one way to keep me from coming back.

    I had a great experience at Fresh Kitchen thanks to Cam and Payton! They were both incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. They took the time to help me, made sure everything was perfect, and checked on me throughout my visit. It’s always refreshing to receive such genuine customer service. Their positive attitudes really made my day, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Cam and Payton, for going above and beyond!

    food is good customer service sucks. One girl in particular today she must always get complaints wish i asked for her name cus she was so rude

  • June 21, 2026

    I’ve generally had a great experience at Fresh Kitchen. The staff is friendly, the food is consistently good, the restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Overall, it’s a place I enjoy visiting. The reason I’m giving 3 stars instead of 5 is because I observed a front-of-house employee wearing black nitrile gloves repeatedly touching her hair and then continuing to serve customers without changing her gloves. Food safety and hygiene are very important, and seeing this was concerning. Aside from that issue, my experiences have been positive. I hope management addresses this with staff so that the excellent quality of the food and service is matched by consistent food-handling practices.
