What diners say — our read

58% of reviews here touch on service, more than any other theme. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.8 stars.

Of the 24 rated reviews, 22 sit at four stars or better and 2 at two or below. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (22 reviews). One subject never comes up here: plate size.

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (97/100), with 3 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. DBPR last walked in on April 2, 2026. The trend across inspections is decline. On health score it sits safer than 72% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. The citations behind that grade include nonfood-contact surfaces clean and storage & handling of clean equipment and utensils.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    Last visit so disappointed, we ordered hot chocolate , and the server , miracle , gave us chocolate powder and hot water , so we have to make ourselves hot chocolate? first time in ihop we make ourselves hot chocolate, the other 2 men server was great , they made us nice hot chocolate with cream on top. We also ordered strawberry pancakes , there’s so butter on top and no layers butter between 4 pancake , and the odd thing is , she mentioned 5 pancake , but we only received 4 pancakes. But still we tip her.
