Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Service dominates the conversation here — it comes up in 64% of the 25 reviews. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 5.0 stars.
If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (23 reviews). One subject never comes up here: plate size. The split is 25 positive to 0 negative across 25 rated reviews.
The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. DBPR last walked in on June 15, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. That puts it ahead of 100% of graded kitchens in Orange County. No violations were recorded at that visit, which is the cleanest result available.
