What diners say — our read

4.7 stars across 30 reviews, an A on the inspection — a rare case where both halves agree. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

Of the 30 rated reviews, 28 sit at four stars or better and 2 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on how much food arrives at all. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (25 of 30).

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (97/100), 3 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. The visit behind that grade was March 4, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 72% of the restaurants we score. For specifics, the last inspection cited clean clothes and plumbing installed & maintained.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. Full reviews follow below in the order they were left.

    Personally, I didn't like the experience at all, some girls are nice, but others do things in a bad way, with bad faces, they should be aware of those things too so that they don't lose customers

    The food quality and the people’s energy is unmatchable, just entered by coincidence and got a really good surprise on how fresh and good everything is.

    My plate was already made, lady at the register decided to use a customers phone ahead of me to leave themselves a good review…… probably waited 5 minutes before deciding to leave. Food only gets colder sitting in a plate on a counter.
