California Fish Grill

➤ 18020 Brook Hurst St, Fountain Valley, United States Of America

Fish • Casual • Mexican • Seafood

"Please hire someone that speaks English. Do you think those iPad could replace the cashiers? Wrong! Don’t be cheap, owners! We like your excellent products, do not let something stupid like Spanish-speaking-only employees ruin your business. I submitted the order, they gave me missing meals. Instead of spending half a minute prepare my missing meal, they made food for orders that submitted after me and let me wait for 15 minutes just because of their mistake. They didn’t openly communicate with customers in English and only talked to each other in Spanish."

Wendy's

➤ 17940 Brookhurst St, 92708, Fountain Valley, United States

Salad • American • Breakfast • North American

"This Wendy’s is slowly slipping through the cracks. I’m always missing something from my order. I understand missing something once in a while, but missing 10pc chicken nuggets multiple times isn’t ok. I even opted to wait inside since it was such a large order. Didn’t rush the order. Didn’t hassle them at all. They had plenty of time to get the order right. TL;DR Manager needs to get replaced or the franchisee needs to give up the location because they obviously can’t run it properly."

Fukusuke Japanese Ramen Dining

➤ 18687 Brookhurst Street, Fountain Valley, 92708, United States Of America

Ramen • Lunch • Asian • Asiatic

"Furusake (Japanese good luck doll) Japanese Ramen Dining was created by owner/chef Kazuo Ikeda in 2016, 6 years ago. I 'm not sure if it is currently the same owner, but Kaz also opened Ikeda Japanese Dining in Huntington Beach years ago. This Fountain Valley shopping plaza has many different businesses from Albertsons, credit unions, and UPS. It is an ideal location attracting many locals. It is also a great location for families as many spend time at First Class Pizza next door or at Lakeshore toy store. Atmosphere: Modern furniture, decorative decor, and over 10 tables. They have a bar that used to serve drinks and eat. Waiting list is outside and you write your name down. There are tables and chairs to wait outside. Menu: Ramen: Shoyu, Miso, Shio, Tonkatsu types starting at $12. For additional cost, you could get Meat lovers bowl which is just additional Chasu pieces. They also have Japanese curry, udon, sushi rolls, and sides. If you like variety this place has it all. However, I feel that many restaurants that branch out too much with their items like Furusake tend to lose focus on delivering well executed dishes. Ramen: (3/5) My friend order the Shoyu and I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen bowl. Both took a while to come out, but I understood the restaurant was busy. The ramen broth had a slight unami flavor and creamy texture. However, there was nothing else spectacular about the dish or ramen itself. The pork belly was not memorable at all as it was dry and had no caramelization. Takayaki: (1/5) I was hugely disappointed in this dish as the ingredients were not fresh and was drenched in sauce. There were pieces of lettuce that was at the bottom and not typically seen in the dish. The octopus was chewy and tasted very old. Service: (3/5) Service wasn 't awful, but wasn 't that great either. I 'm not sure if Furusake was having an off-day or if overall quality has gone down. Although this restaurant is conveniently located by many other businesses, there are definitely other ramen restaurants soley focusing on ramen dishes that others should try out."

Carl's Jr.

➤ 17085 Brookhurst St, 92708-3601, Fountain Valley, United States

American • Fast Food • Breakfast • North American

"The Promotional Sourdough Star? More like a disappointment. The lettuce was wilted, and the bread didn't taste right. It felt like a waste of time, money, and appetite. Carl, maybe it's best to stick to the basics instead of trying to cater to everyone all the time. Jack in the Box does a better job with their Sourdough Jack sandwich, which seems to be an idea you borrowed. Honestly, you might be better off eating at home. The burgers taste amazing when made at home, cooked medium rare with no extra charge for an additional slice of tomato. And you can get bacon that's properly cooked—imagine that!"

Taco Bell

➤ 9925 Warner Ave, 92708, Fountain Valley, United States

Mexican • American • Breakfast • North American

"Ordering at this location at night can be quite frustrating. There's a woman at the window who struggles with English, which led to a 10-minute wait until someone who could actually take orders in English stepped in. If a customer is ordering in English, it would be helpful to have staff who are familiar with the menu and can take the order without delays. It shouldn't be so complicated to order from Taco Bell. Additionally, the accuracy of the food can be inconsistent, so you never know if it will be made correctly."

Ameci Pizza Pasta

➤ 17910 Magnolia St, 92655, Fountain Valley, United States

Pizza • Lunch • Italian • Low Carb

"Never had a problem here, sometimes the phone order can be a bit abrupt, but I don't care. My friends and family warned me not to go here to eat. I decided to check it anyway and found it all right. Pizza tasted much better than DOMINOS, PIZZA HUT DIGIORNO. The crust is somewhat thin and sometimes soft, but it is very good for me. DETAILS You always have a game on television of any sport, the tables were clean every time I visit. I haven't had any problems here dozens of times. I'm picky about sticky dirty tables, so if they had problems, I'd notice them. OVERALL : They offer a variety of foods (see my menu image and I wanted to try other things. I do not like GARLIC having a complaint/evaluation about too much garlic I did not see this problem after ordering near 50 pizzas. The food is always made on time, the payment in the register is fast, the takeover of TOGO orders is very easy. I have no complaints I am glad that I have ignored my friends / family complaints :"

Joey’s Pizza

➤ 9037 Garfield Ave, Fountain Valley I-92708-6560, United States

Pizza • Lunch • Cheese • American

"Amazing pizza!! So delicious and cheesy. Like commercial style cheese that stretches with each bite. The crust is soft and yet the pizza bottom has a crunch. I mostly get plain cheese or pepperoni, so personally my opinion is limited. My friend tends toget their pizza slice super loaded and they absolutely love it! Every time I go to Savers, I try to stop by after and it is aperfect end to a day of scavenging. They have various specials, can't recall them verbatim from the top of my head, but I tendto get 2 slices and a soda with (what I assume) unlimited refills. If you are a sports fan, you will love this place. All staffI have encountered are all male. They tend to have various sports playing on the TV every time I stop by.. They serve youimmediately and are pleasant and courteous. This place deserves more than 5 stars, in my opinion."

The Coffee Bean Tea Leaf

➤ Fountain Valley, United States Of America, 92708

Tea • Coffee • Catering • American

"I've always been a big fan of Coffee Bean. Unlike Starbucks, it doesn't have that overpowering coffee smell, which I really appreciate. This particular location has a friendly vibe and a lovely atmosphere! I just wish there were more locations in South Orange County!"

First Class Pizza

➤ 18675 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley, United States

Pizza • Lunch • Italian • American

"First, let’s discuss the crust. It was perfectly crispy on the outside yet delightfully chewy on the inside, providing a solid base for the explosion of flavors to come. The tomato sauce struck a perfect balance between tangy and sweet, creating a vibrant backdrop for the toppings. Speaking of toppings, they were a celebration of culinary variety. The savory and smoky pepperoni, the earthy mushrooms, and the satisfying richness of the sausage all worked in harmony. The addition of green peppers and onions offered a refreshing crunch, contrasting beautifully with the indulgent melted cheese. What truly distinguishes the Combo Pizza is the expert craftsmanship behind it. Each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors, textures, and aromas that showcased the skill involved. The cheese melted perfectly, hugging the toppings in a warm embrace, and it was clear that this pizza was made with care and respect for the culinary art. The attention to detail extended beyond taste to its presentation. The pizza arrived steaming hot, with toppings beautifully arranged and the cheese bubbling and golden. It was a feast for both the eyes and the palate, turning every slice into an Instagram-worthy moment. And I can't forget to mention the outstanding service at First Class Pizza. The staff's enthusiasm for their creations was evident, and their recommendations added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. The Combo Pizza at First Class Pizza is a true masterpiece that exemplifies the art of pizza-making. It's a culinary symphony that hits all the right notes, leaving your taste buds dancing with joy. If you're looking for a pizza that goes beyond the ordinary and takes you to a blissful realm of flavor, this is a must-try. Hats off to First Class Pizza for creating such a remarkable dish! I only wish I’d remembered to snap a picture before devouring it—my stomach definitely got the best of me!"

Shabuya

➤ 18279 Brookhurst St #8, Fountain Valley, USA, 92708, United States

Soup • Fish • Japanese • Ice Cream

"TLDR Affordable AYCE hot pot with good meats and broths. Also has some drinks you can purchase. No reservations, so plan ahead and get on the wait list when they open. Exterior 5/5 Corner of the parking lot shared with other businesses it can either be full (and you need to walk from a distance) or you get lucky and park close. It gets pretty busy close to rush hours so plan to park a little farther so you don't have to fight for a spot right up front. There are a couple benches for outside waiting since wait can be long. Interior 5/5 Small waiting area as soon as you walk in with some benches. You have the Yelp Wait list device for you to enter your name (but I like to just use my app which I recommend you do the same). It has some nice lighting in my opinion, and the ceilings are high so I don't feel like I'm smothered in the steam from the broths. There are a bunch of different tables throughout booths and tables as well as booth table mixes. Booths tend to be for smaller groups, tables and booth table mixes for the bigger groups. Service 5/5 They are generally pretty quick but you see them running when it is busy time. All the people I had were super chill and hauling broths, appetizers, and drinks all over the place. They start you off by seating you, then asking what broth you like as well as any drinks. Once you pick those they will ask what meat you want. You are free to pick the veggies, sauces, and other non red meat options at the large table spread (fish, seafood). Order 5/5 Since it's all you can eat I won't go into every single option. I like getting the Tonkotsu broth and adding some garnishes to it like garlic, yuzu, and cilantro. From there you can't go wrong with any of the meats (I tended to like the beef options and opting for the more fatty ones). They are cut thin so they cook really fast. There is a large assortment of veggies and seafood to pick from as well as sauce bar to custom make a great dipping sauce for your hot pot (or do multiple). I also like their capri soju options electric lemonade is my fave. It comes in a large caprisun looking bag with a little light in it. Overall 5/5 My go to for all you can eat hot pot. The lines can get super long so I advise getting there early and putting your name down. You need to have your whole party to be seated and sometimes the line can move fast. Just don't come too late or the wait list might be capped. I don't blame the place for being busy with around 30 bucks for all you can eat hot pot, the place is a great deal. Hint Make sure to get there early to get on the wait list last I heard no reservations and wait list can close."

Mimi's Cafe

➤ 18461 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley, United States

Cafe • Coffee • American • North American

"First time at Mimi's which is a bistro diner playing up French cuisine. First, the menu selection was elaborate with a blend of authentic French offerings and casual American dishes where you can get breakfast all day or go full on with a diner style 3course meal for lunch or dinner. The prices were very fair and portions were generous. You can find unusual items like crepes,croque monsieur, and the like. Also, the service was good ???? Shout out to William who was most attentive andcharming. Here's why the 3 stars rather than 5: Ordered a fresh made croissant and it was blasted in a microwave and naturallyarrived rubbery. I really don't like sending back food but this was bad. The server was gracious and kind about it. I ended upordering another no heat offered to get that real croissant, flaky goodness but no. It was dense and definitely NOT French.I lived in Paris and even if I hadn't, anyone would know this is not authentic. The other reason is because I ordered the summerfruit salad with shrimp. All supposed to be fresh ingredients but they threw in canned mandarin oranges blended with freshstrawberries and grilled pineapple. Although the vinaigrette was good. (Pictured) Will visit again but with an understandingthat there are pros and cons. If nothing else it's good for a great, hearty French styled breakfast or lunch. My son loved theberry crepes (pictured)."

Sizzler

➤ 9480 Warner Avenue, Fountain Valley, 92708, United States Of America

Soup • Salads • Chicken • American

"Every time my mom and I come to this location of Sizzler we are consistently impressed. The unlimited salad bar is always fresh, and maintained—we saw people cleaning it and refilling it regularly! The steak we order is always hot and perfectly cooked, and the service is always attentive. I have no complaints whatsoever. We went to a smaller chain a month back that boasts 60+ years in the business and we were so disappointed, it’s nice to always see Sizzler’s established quality control in action. Totally made up for our bad experience elsewhere!"

Chipotle Mexican Grill

➤ 18951 Brookhurst St, 92708, Fountain Valley, United States

Lunch • Mexican • Chicken • American

"We arrived here with no line, so we walked right up to the start of where you order. The girl working looked annoyed and was frantically looking at an order receipt, walking back and forth, passing us literally about six times total. Not a single acknowledgement or that she'll be right with us. I obviously don't expect top tier greetings at a fast food restaurant, but if you're going to walk by us multiple times, at least say something and let us know you're not ignoring us. At that point, I knew right away she straight up was ignoring us. When she finally took my order, she didn't even make eye contact, which wasn't surprising by then.I ordered my usual veggie bowl, and when I asked for fajitas, she said they're all out. So then I asked for all the rest of the ingredients. As I made my way down, I noticed there was no cheese, guacamole, or lettuce. I asked about it to which she then replies that they're out of a lot of stuff because they hosted some fundraising event.... So you just didn't bother telling me this right before I ordered??? Annoyed, I looked at my husband and told him to not start his order because they're out of literally a lot of the main things. Did they expect me to just eat a big old bowl of sides and sauces?? That being said, I felt bad at first, but I canceled my order and went to another Chipotle down the street (much better experience).I completely understand that they hosted an event and that sometimes the reality is that you run out of ingredients. I have nothing to complain about with that. My problem is when you have an incompetent employee with bad attitude and can't have the courtesy to inform PAYING customers about their current situation."

Tropical Smoothie Cafe

➤ 9480 Talbert Ave, 92708, Fountain Valley, United States

Mexican • Canadian • American • North American

"Terrible customer service, if you?re like me and you attempt to use the loyalty system/app or fill out the survey on their receipt they refuse to honor it. TSC used to be my go-to spot for smoothies as they had a pretty good loyalty program but notanymore, guess I?ll be getting my smoothies elsewhere now. A lot of the TSC spots in south Orange County have closed down andnow I can see why. I even bought one of their reusable cups for smoothies as they used to give you a discount for saving themmoney on a cup but apparently they don?t honor that anymore either. The last time I?d come in with a coupon code they didn?tknow what to do with it, and the store owner/manager came out and said that I needed a picture of the code on my phone as wellas on the receipt (which I didn?t have). Came in prepared with both this time and the server, rather than just be honest with meand tell me that he couldn?t give me the discount or didn?t know how to do it, he instead pretended to give me the discount andhoped that I wouldn?t notice. When questioned he tried to get his coworkers to help but they just told me that they ?aren?tdoing that anymore.? Disappointing. Guess there isn?t any sense in wasting my time filling out their surveys if they aren?t evengoing to honor their own deal. Unlike what it may say on the receipt, TSC most definitely does not listen."

Brodard

➤ 16105 Brookhurst Street, Fountain Valley, 92708, United States Of America

Fish • Asian • Steak • Barbecue

"Looking for the best spring roll? You absolutely have to try the grilled pork spring roll. For just $10, you get four large rolls. The accompanying sauce is incredibly delicious, and the grilled pork inside is packed with flavor. The additional toppings add a delightful crisp texture that makes for an excellent combination. The overall texture and taste are simply outstanding. We also tried the Saigon-style spring roll, which was decent but didn’t compare to the grilled pork option. It had a slightly fishy flavor (likely due to the fish sauce) and a meaty texture, but I much preferred the crispiness of the grilled pork spring roll. Plus, they have a bakery section with a wide variety of items!"

Sushi Plus

➤ 18856 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley I-92708-7304, United States

Sushi • Lunch • Casual • Asiatic

"A colleague suggested this restaurant for their chicken teriyaki plate, and I was not disappointed. The food was fresh and flavorful, with reasonable prices and generous portion sizes. It seems they only have one cook, so it does take a while to receive your meal if you order at the restaurant. However, they offer the option to call ahead and place your order, which is convenient. I look forward to returning to try their sushi rolls!"

Pauls Coffee Shop

➤ 16947 Bushard Street, Fountain Valley, CA 92708, United States

Coffee • American • Breakfast • Coffee & Tea

"What a hidden gem in Fountain Valley! The biscuits and gravy are absolutely amazing, and the waffle combo is delicious as well. I felt so full after finishing my meal! The Salisbury steak was fantastic; now I'm ready to take a nap after breakfast. The staff are incredibly friendly and have a great sense of humor. The atmosphere is unique and inviting. I absolutely adore the military team here—they're so charming, as you can see in the pictures I've shared. This is a wonderful place to kick off your morning routine for a fresh start to the day. I love the people here, and I truly enjoyed my time. Thank you!"

Sensitive Sweets

➤ 17431 Brookhurst St, Fountain Valley, California, USA, 92708, United States

Healthy • Bakeries • Desserts • Chocolate

"I have a child with a lot of food sensitivity. It is honestly sad that you can not only go to a store and find gluten-free/egg free/dairy free ginger bread houses. I assume that the idea of “gluten free” did not make it to the holidays. But I asked myself and someone had suggested Sensitive Sweets. I don't live in California, but I loved some of their items being offered with shipping! I also ordered to think in December it would take forever to come here, but the Ingwerbread House Kits I ordered came much earlier than I thought! Thanks to Sensitive Sweets for offering an Ingwerbread house, so my son can experience building a house instead of having “sit on the side” while other children get to make one. The kit came with the house, the frosting ingredients prepackaged (very easy to mix the frosting and follow the directions), and a few small essentials (streets, snowman, candy, etc. plastic pieces for the house)! The instructions came with the kit and help us build it. We all loved it and enjoyed it together as a family. I will definitely order from here again!"

Rollin' Creamery

➤ 17908 1/2 Magnolia St, Fountain Valley I-92708-5039, United States

Lunch • Mexican • Catering • Ice Cream

"I was truly impressed by the ube ice cream I enjoyed today. I'm always on the lookout for exceptional ice cream, and this was likely one of the best I've ever tasted. It was creamy, packed with amazing flavor, and the combination was simply perfect. The service was outstanding—fast, efficient, and handled with great care. I've never seen anyone roll ice cream with such impressive speed; it was quite a spectacle. I wholeheartedly recommend this place and can't wait to return as a regular customer. Saying it was a great experience doesn’t even begin to describe it. I know it's just ice cream, but this went above and beyond for me."
