1. La Creperie Café
La Creperie Cafe is one of my favorite places to go and get brunch at with the best friend. With its outdoor seating and nice SoCal weather, this place is the best place for brunch in the Belmont Shores area. Due to it's location and features, this…More »

I definitely like this one much more than the one at The Lab in Costa Mesa.

4. The LAB Anti-Mall
Oh, The LAB. Despite the fact that every time I go here I feel like I'm being judged by all the hipsters, I'll still love you like a fat kid loves cake.
Located literally down the street from South Coast Plaza, and across from The CAMP, on Bristol,…More »
5. Players Lounge
The first time I went here was at the end of January during winter break because the boy I was seeing at the time asked me to meet him there.
I've driven past this place for years, but never actually went in. It's located on a corner on…More »
6. Chain Reaction
This used to be one of my favorite places when I was under 21 since most of the bands I wanted to see at the time were always playing at venues where you would have to be 21. Chain Reaction is one of the few all ages venues in Orange County.…More »
7. The Gypsy Den
The Gypsy Den is located at the Lab on Bristol in Costa Mesa. Parking at the Lab is horrible by the way, so good luck with that. It's located at the far end of the Lab actually, closer to Bristol Street.
I went to The Gypsy Den for a girls' night…More »
8. Joe's Italian Ice
I have to say that Joe's Italian Ice is one of my favorite dessert place in Orange County. My friend introduced this place to me a few years ago and I'm absolutely grateful that she did. It's located on Harbor, a few blocks before Disneyland. It's…More »
9. Detroit Bar
The first time I was here was late January of this year. It was because one of my favorite bands, Foster the People, was the house band for the month and so the shows they put on were free.
I love this place - it's a tiny venue, but that's what makes…More »
10. Viento y Agua Coffeehouse & Gallery
I was first introduced to this place when I had my interview with Hazel Q. and I've been here a few times since then. I do believe Viento y Agua Coffee House & Gallery is one of Long Beach's best kept secret coffee shops! It's located near the corner…More »

This place is one of my favorite places to eat at because of the amazing happy hour they have. This place typically gets pretty busy so it's best to make a reservation if you're planning on going on say a Friday night. The wait can get up to 30-45…More »

15. Kabuki Japanese Restaurant
This place has one of the best happy hour specials in Orange County! The prices are pretty good - especially for the sushi. Happy hour is weekly, from 3-6pm, featuring items such as selected appetizers, rolls, specialty rolls and drinks. The best…More »

18. La Creperie Café
I finally got the chance to try out this location for the first time the other night. One of my Zeta sis's was throwing a surprise birthday dinner for our other Zsis and had decided on this La Creperie because it was bigger than the Belmont Shores…More »

20. Murphy's Pub
I've actually never hung out on 2nd Street to drink surprisingly, but I'm really glad I tried this place out. A classmate whom I haven't seen since graduating back in May this year found me on Facebook and wanted to catch up, so he suggested going…More »
21. Conan
For my 100th review, I'm going to review Conan! Team Coco ftw!
So early September, I saw on TeamCoco's Twitter account that they had an opening for their lottery to win tickets for one of the shows in October. I immediately went onto the website and…More »
22. SWSH Shabu Shabu
Just went back today for lunch with the best friend. We got there at around 1:15-1:30 and we waited about 5 minutes before some seats at the bar opened up. By the time we were done ordering, pretty much the whole bar cleared out, so it's best to come…More »

23. Tokyo Table
I love going to this place during happy hour. It has one of the best ones I've been to in a while.
Located downstairs towards the end of Diamond Jamboree, it's pretty easy to find. Parking's a bitch. Tons of horrible drivers and tiny parking spaces.…More »
24. Yojie Japanese Fondue & Sake Bar

25. House of Shabu Shabu

26. Shabu Shabu Bar
So I don't know if you guys can tell from my recent reviews, but I've sorta been on a shabu shabu kick. The best friend and I went to 3 different ones last week, 3 days in a row. Today, we had a shopping trip to South Coast Plaza and we were both…More »
27. Bruxie
Got to try this Bruxie for the first time on Friday and I'm so glad I drove the 30+ minutes to try this one out. I was already a fan of the one in Orange, but I definitely like this one much more since it's so much bigger and there are places where…More »
28. The Playground
I've been very excited to try The Playground since I heard about its opening in the summer, not just because i have the hugest crush on Jason Quinn, but the idea and concept sounded pretty cool. I got to try it last night when fellow Yelper Vy T.…More »
29. Guppy House
My one reason for going to any Guppy House, is shaved ice. Real talk. That's pretty much my only reason.
This particular Guppy's is located in Irvine's Diamond Jamboree Plaza. It's sort of in the center of things I guess. Parking is, just going to say…More »
30. Proof Bar
One of my favorite places to be in the downtown Santa Ana district. Though I've only gone on mostly Saturday nights, you can definitely bet I've had fun every single time.
Parking is pretty easy to find. There's a structure on between 4th/3rd and…More »
31. Memphis at the Santora
Jazz music, good food and wonderful company - what more could I ask for? Went to Memphis at the Santora for the first time the other night for Andy T.'s birthday with some of our other friends, such as fellow Yelper Vy T.

33. Berlin
This is one of the best coffee shops I've been to in Long Beach so far. Situated in the heart of the East Village Arts Districts, it's one shop you won't want to miss. It's actually located within Fingerprints CD & Record Store! How cool is that?
The…More »
34. Rutabegorz
Sigh, it's a start of a new year and I'm back to my goal of saying "eat healthier." Well, for the time being. Anyways, this place is the perfect place if you're trying to eat healthy.
Located in Downtown Fullerton, it was pretty easy to find from the…More »
35. Yojie Shabu Shabu
So I'm a bit familiar with the Yojie brand already. I've been to the one in LA and loved it when I was there. The best friend and I were pretty hungry this afternoon, but it was too early for dinner and too late for lunch so most of the shabu shabu…More »
36. The Night Owl
I've never had a reason to go to DTF during the day, but now I have!

Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen is pretty much the only place that comes to mind when I'm in the mood for ramen.

38. Old Vine Café
The best friend and I decided to have lunch today and she suggested trying this place out since I had never been here.
It's located at The CAMP and somewhat hidden. You have to walk further into the area, past Native Foods Cafe to get to it. It's…More »
39. Prospect
Prospect was definitely one of the highlights of my SF trip back in December. My cousin's new in-laws chose this restaurant to host the post-nuptial Sunday brunch.
It's located right on the corner of Spear St. and Folsom, pretty much in the Financial…More »
40. Gyu-Kaku
My friends and I typically go to the Gyu-Kaku in Huntington Beach since it's closer to our house, but we decided to meet a friend at this particular location one day for lunch to avoid some awkward run-ins at the HB one.
This location seems to have…More »
