What diners say — our read

People either love this place or they do not, and the ratings show it. How guests are treated cuts both ways here, averaging 3.7 among the reviews that raise it.

5 stars is the modal score, given by 6 of the 9 reviewers who rated. Conspicuously absent: wait times, which no reviewer brings up. The split is 6 positive to 2 negative across 9 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (90/100) with 1 high-priority and 2 basic violations. That inspection was on April 27, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 42% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. Read the numbers above with the sample size in mind: 9 reviews is not many. Among the items recorded were in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.

Neither signal is decisive on its own here, which is why both are shown. Everything above is computed from the 9 reviews reproduced below.

    While my food was good, I will never sit with Aly again. We were greated with are "are you ready?", we were never checked up on. No refills. Dropping the check was the only time she visited our table after our food came before silverware. And the cherry on top? She was on a FaceTime call the ENTIRE time we were there. Couldn't believe it.

    So start paying attention to your recipes you all are paying and extra 20% 10 for service charge to even get food there and another 10 % for to go. So you are basically paying gratuity on all your to go orders.
