"I drove to my favorite lunch spot when I decided to give this place a tryout, at the beginning I was dissatisfied by the greeting staff who took me to my table, as not even say hello to me, anyway, after I was assigned to judith everything was much better, great customer service, very professional and she was on everything, I was served french toast and a delicious hamburg. the price is kind of high, but it was worth it, they also sell jam on their deli department by the pfund. very nice place to taste a good sandwich a delicious omelet with a good atmosphere and service."

"We wanted to try Zov's Bistro and found this restaurant next to it and packed of people. I smelled all the delicious food and was surprised that yelp never recommended this restaurant in Tustin. We ended up changing our mind to give it a try since I have never tried Malaysia cuisine and love trying something new. We ordered calamari, crab rangoon, and a cup of hot and sour soup as appetizers. It was the best fried calamari we ever had, super flavorful and crispy good quality calamari. It was not over breaded or double fried like a lot of fried calamari from other restaurants. Also the best fresh hot and sour soup I have ever had, the peppers the egg and the vinegar just exactly the right portion. The rangoons were basic with fake crab, but a good portion at a great price. For entrees, we ordered Beef Rendang and the seafood clay pot curry with coconut rice chiken rice. You can choose normal steam rice, brown rice, coconut rice and chicken rice. OMG, the coconut rice is like a dessert, smell delicious and it is such a great taste. Seafood clay pot is sooooooo good with fish, scallop, tofu, bunch of veggies and eggplant all in a spicy and savory broth. The beef rendang is soft, flavorful, and great quality. The curry spices used perfectly complimented the meat without overpowering it. It you want to try extremely good Malaysia food!! Definitely give this place a try."

"Covid forces outdoor eating which is difficult for all but North does a worse job than the local competition — weak heat lamps spaced too far left us cold — and the staff which was super nice wasn’t actually able to help with them.The portions of some items seem to have been reduced, which was especially noticeable with the truffle cheese bread appetizer. The portions seem to be about a third of what they sued to be. Times are tough and we appreciate restaurants trying to stay alive, but this appetizer is mostly bread. Don’t stiff customers — who’ve come out to sit on in the street by crash barriers — by skimping on something like this. Some of the other entrees seems to have slipped"

"YENIVA (or LLENIVA) has amazing customer service skills! Aside from the food being really good, she always has a smile on her face and makes my family and I feel at ease and comfortable coming back! Love to see her work there; my family and I look forward to seeing her every time we get food because she knows how to deliver food quick and she never has an angry face or ugly demeanor. Great job hiring her!!!"

"I found the food here to be o.k., not anything special. It was lukewarm and uninspired. Considering that this is shown to be an inexpensive restaurant, I found their plates of entrees, some of which were in the ballpark of $18, to be high in price considering the quality of the food and the low-rent ambiance. We ordered margaritas they were awful. We found out their margaritas, come from a mix. Not a drop of fresh lime juice was used. Our server was attentive and tried hard, but nothong about this place would cause me to go another time."
