VERDICT: An excellent choice for lunch. FOOD: The Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich holds immense complexity and hits all the notes in perfect pitch. The crisp of the chicken comes unencumbered by residual oil, and the crunch is pleasant but not overwhelming. The crispy tots are delicious and play a good second chair to the sandwich. DRINK: Beer on tap for $5 is a victory all its own. Great choices. I drank the hazy and the lager. SERVICE: The server was good, handling the misfire of a drink made incorrectly by remaking it herself (to an excellent product). They also forgot to make one of the sandwiches, which they made and comped and gave us a pie. While this visit was less-than-ideal in these respects, the staff were not defensive or rude but rather apologized and made it right. I can give grace to struggles regarding their software (the source of the woes) as the food was just killer.

The food was delicious! We got the Ube French toast, breakfast sandwich, and breakfast burrito. Highly recommend the Matcha latte. Our server, Mitchel, was awesome! Super friendly and personable, made the whole experience amazing :) Plus They let us have our dogs on the patio

Parking is a bit tough but we got lucky and got a spot nearby. Also Google Maps took me to the back of the restaurant. Checked in and the employee said the wait was 30 minutes and it was actually 37 minutes so it was solid estimating. We ordered the Ube French Toast, Ginger Peach soda and Sisig Burrito. I really liked the Sisig burrito, had great crunch with the chicharron but nice soft pork belly. Ube French Toast had the right amount of sweetness and the Ginger Peach was nice.

The breakfast burrito has a crisp tortilla like a chimichanga and the sauce is incredible. Their played are presented beautifully and taste excellent. Service was quick and friendly, had a great experience here. Had one of their hail Mary drinks and it was delicious with brunch. Best part was not having to wait in line for brunch and getting our food promptly. Will be back for sure

Great brunch, wonderful location and staff. The coffee is EXCELLENT. My cappuccinos competes with ones from Italy or France. I asked what coffee they use; the chef roasts her own. Of course she does. I came back the next day for another. By the way, dog friendly and kind too.

Delicious!! I would recommend coming with some friends so you can share food because there are lots of good things on the menu. On a Thursday morning, there wasn’t a wait for the table. We ordered the Ube French Toast, Fried Chicken and Waffle, and Sisig Burrito. I prefer savoury breakfast foods so for me, the burrito was the best, but I definitely enjoyed a few bites of the French toast for dessert. I also tried the cucumber chia seed limeade. Very refreshing!

Hot Chicken Sandwich 5 star. Could be hotter, But the crunch, the slaw, the pickles, the bun, and the sauce was a hit. Our Favorite of the night. Breakfast Burrito - 5 star. Great mix of flavors. Crunchy Salty perfection. Apple Pie - 5 Stars. Very Good and Saved our meal ! Definitely will try again....especially the Breakfast looks interesting.

This location is one of my favorite brunch spots. They have unique drinks, and there are usually a few selections which come with popsicles in them! Most drinks lose taste as the ice melts, but this one gains flavor from the melting popsicle. The drink you start with won't be the same as the drink you end up with! They have a patio so there is indoor and outdoor dining, and there is a bar as well. This place gets pretty busy but the wait is worth it. Parking is somewhat limited in the immediate area but there is plenty of parking in the streets and around trader joe's if you're fine with walking. The menu is constantly changing so it doesn't get stale. They use paper straws which are more sustainable than plastic ones! This restaurant is connected to Fill Bakery which a sells Mochi donuts! My personal favorite is the Vietnamese coffee flavor.

This is probably one of my favorite breakfast places to go to in the Costa Mesa / Newport Beach Area! The food is worth four (4) stars but the staff and hospitality easily catapult this location to five (5) stars! The food was good, the staff however was amazing and the location is great! I ended up opening my meal with a delicious Vanilla Latte paired with some Avocado Toast followed by some Funnel Cake Dough (not on the menu) that was compliments of the chef (Thanks ROB); finished with a chicken sandwich! Think Bruxie, but one notch above! Reflecting on the Vanilla Latte for a moment this had to be one of the best lattes I have had in some time, perfectly crafted and not to milky. I stronger encourage trying this with an extra shot of expre Be sure to join the waitlist via Yelp earlier enough, prior to your arrival especially on the weekends as this place can get busy and for delicious reasons. If in the area, be sure to check out Toast! Cheers,

Delicious, fresh baked bread for us to try was awesome. The location couldn't be better, but be ready to wait unless you're here early.

Awesome place! Service was great & the food was better. Highly recommend the fresh orange juice to go with whatever meal you get. This place seams like anything you order would be great. They get the serious high five!

Today's Sunday Grub-day adventure brought me to Orange county. Even though I wasn't with my usual foodie partner in crime I had an awesome substitute. It was my first time dining here and I was not disappointed. The seating time was about 35/40 minutes but it was definitely worth the wait!

I had the best French Toast I've ever tasted. My son and his girlfriend had breakfast burritos. They looked delicious. I don't usually eat all my meal but this time I scarfed it all.

Very nice restaurant food was great . The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and fast. The restaurant is located in a very nice area, making the overall experience even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend.

Great seafood! Had to try the lobster deviled eggs. Very tasty and a recommendation. Also had the lobster bisque... it had lobster chunks in it, must try. Lastly had the crab cakes. I live in the PNW, so my standards are pretty high for crab cakes. They were good, nothing to write home about though. Staff was amazing only three staff for the entire restaurant, they did an outstanding job of tending to everyone. Will visit again on my next trip.

I saw this place had supposedly one of the best lobster rolls in California so I had to check it out. There was plenty of parking when I went, but it's in a pretty busy area close to the beach so I imagine it can get crowded at times. We arrived early to our reservation, and even though the restaurant was packed inside, there was no one waiting so we were seated right away. The restaurant inside is dark, moody, and cozy while also with a bar vibe and people watching sports on TV. Server was friendly, a bit curt, but maybe also tired considering it was New Year's Eve and it was a packed house. We got the 6 oz lobster roll (saucy), lobster carbonara, and the clam chowder. The lobster roll was messy to eat as it was truly packed with lobster and since we ordered it saucy, it came with a large side of butter sauce and a side of garlic aioli. The garlic aioli had a nice kick and was delicious as a sauce to dip the french fries in (which came with the lobster roll). The best part of the lobster roll for me was somehow the bread. Think of texas toast from Raisin Cane's but five times better. I read comments from others saying they still dream of the lobster roll here - I now understand why. One of the top 5 bites of 2025. The clam chowder and lobster carbonara were unremarkable, but the SO thoroughly enjoyed the lobster carbonara for its creaminess. Fairly pricey restaurant but makes sense considering it's a seafood restaurant within a few miles from the beach.

We were blown away by the atmosphere and the food. Lobster roll and Rozzotto did not disappoint in fact it blew us away. Ulises our waiter was kind, funny, and accommodating. He led us to the perfect meal.

Amazing sea food! We ordered the Clam Chowder, Lobster Roll, Fresh Caught Halibut, Fish & Chips, and Chicken Sandwich and they were all delicious! (Especially the Clam Chowder) Lots of parking and great atmosphere! Overall a memorable experience for New Port Beach. I would definitely recommend it if you’re in the area! FYI the Lobster roll was $35 for the 4oz and $50 for the 6oz.

First time trying this place and loved it! The food was so good and reasonably priced for how tasty it was. No wait, sat outside on the patio which was super chill. Service was great as well shoutout to our server Gina she was so cool. We'll be back!

Dropped by for lunch before going to the beach. Friendly staff and server. Family got the cioppino, clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl, lobster roll, half doz oysters and shrimp poboy. All were good. Shrimp poboy had large shrimp vs small and worth every penny. Lobster roll and cioppino was good as well. My clam chowder was delicious, but wished they took more bread out of the center to be able to have more chowder. So little chowder for the large left over bread bowl. Overall, would recommend eating here.

No one would believe me that I was in and out of this restaurant within one hour! I’m not saying I felt rushed. In fact, this experience is just the opposite! The pace was so on point from the moment we were seated until the end of the meal. The server is spot on and checked on us at the perfect time each time. We were seated at one of the booths away from the bar side with a tv near us, so we were able to watch a baseball game while we eat. About the food, O.M.G! I was in my lobster mac n cheese heaven for 20 minutes. The photo only showed one of the three large pieces of lobster meat! The mac was cooked in the right texture (I like mine al dente), each little mac is covered with the right amount of cheese. Words can’t describe well enough, so all I’m gonna say is go try it by yourself!! My husband ordered the lobster roll and was given a generous amount of lobster!! Special mention- the roasted veggies! Even as a side dish, they don’t shy away from seasoning them! Lastly, parking- I thought I had to drive around and parked on the street. However, when we arrived, there were plenty of parking left, which was a surprise!

The establishment looks really nice it's upscale without being intimidating but it's also intimate. The decor is tasteful and classy you'll find different rods and other fishing related items... The food was amazing we ordered the calamari steak fries as an appetizer they were thick cut nice and juicy and crispy. I ordered a bowl of clam chowder and it was really good nice rich and creamy and had plenty of clams. We also ordered the lobster roll and the fish and chips... Both were amazing and perfectly cooked and seasoned.. overall would recommend as a nice date night without being too upscale but it's also nice place to go to enjoy drinks after a day at the beach or shopping.

GREAT experience! Incredible food, friendly service and the food comes out quickly. Cioppino is the best we’ve had, and we’ve had a lot. The halibut was excellent. The deviled eggs were also great. Recommend wholeheartedly.

this is our second time here. first was super great and unfortunately don’t remember the server. but this time ulysses was our server and was so wonderful. he helped make this dinner a memorable experience as we had a lot of great life moments to be celebrating. food is always stellar. the first time we had the lobster roll and cioppino and it was fantastic. got it again our second time and it was just as good. the halibut was very good as well. our favorite each time is the oysters though. can’t beat those. def a standout seafood restaurant! also love that the kids mac and cheese had no salt, which is how the kids eat at home. can’t wait to come back!

I loved our dinner here tonight. The Surf and Turf was worth every penny and came with two sides. The steak was melt in your mouth and the lobster was very fresh and amazing flavor. We also enjoyed the clam chowder and lobster deviled eggs. The lobster roll was huge and packed with lobster. They do not skimp on anything here. I will definitely be back for more lobster everything! Shout out to our serve. She was so friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was good. No wait time, probably because we were the first one there on a Sunday morning. The staff was very attentive and full of energy. Love all their vibes. I was skeptical about the Thai chilaquiles but it was actually good. You can taste the flavor and the chips were fresh. Of course i had the mimosa and it was delicious, it's hard to ruin a mimosa. 🤷🏽‍♀️. My husband ordered the french toast and he loved it! He is more of a sweet kind of person and the french toast hit the spot. I wouldn't recommend the hash brown. It was very crunchy and Oily. Almost like you taken a bite of oil. Did not sit well with my stomach. This place is great for a a quick bite, since the service was fast and efficient.

This place is clean, beautiful with its deco, but not as cozy and inviting as the pictures. They provide both inside and outdoor sitting area, perfect for lunch’s time, not so for breakfast or dinner as it does not give me the vibe of warm welcoming. For the food: I have Avocado 🥑 Toast and Ube here few days ago. Even though they are looking very appealing but it feels like something is missing which I could not quite figured out. The avocado is not fresh at all, given the main ingredient in the avocado toast, and Ube Latte is a bit too much milk, they only have 3 options for milk which whole milk, oat and almond. The service is not bad, but it could have been more organized as it is very confused where to sit or how to order when you first walked in, but I give 4* because the waitress are hard-working and friendly :)

I never know there's a brunch spot in this area. The restaurant is pretty crowded in the weekend, we reserved but still got the wait for roughly 20 minutes. Got the outside seats on a sunny day which is lovely. The service here is fast and the owner treated us with some bread appetizer that was delicious and lovely. The dishes here are good for your IG posts. Lovely. Highlights of the menu: 1. Orange chicken and black sesame waffle: super fusion 2. Cajun shrimps and grits, added eggs benedict on top 3. Soba noodles salad, added fried salmon 4. Cucumber chia seed limeade: really good

Glad my friend recommended that we have Brunch here. We added ourselves on the Yelp App waitlist and it's so convenient. You can see where you are at and plan to be there by the scheduled time. Once you arrive, check in with the hostess inside. Help yourself to some coffee (SHOTS) that should be outside. The wait can be long so plan accordingly. Sunday brunch seems really busy. Nice cute restaurant with a great menu selection. Madi was our server and she was very nice and pleasant. Food: 2 Pieces of Chicken and Belgian Waffle Burrata Salad The chicken and waffle was delicious and I would highly recommend it. The chicken was tasty and tender and the waffle just took it over the top. The Burrata Salad was equally delicious and refreshing. The nice white vinaigrette topped with Asian Pear and Strawberries were delightful. Overall, a great restaurant to dine at just a long wait.

Food was good and they customized my burrito because the only meat I eat is chicken so they removed bacon on my request. The cocktails were great. Bit on the pricey side but fun!

I decided to try Hook & Anchor after hearing it had the best lobster rolls in Orange County. While the lobster roll was good, it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me—it was enjoyable but not extraordinary. What stood out more was the atmosphere, which felt overly casual for the price point of the menu. The setting had a laid-back vibe, with guests dressed in swimwear, which didn’t quite match the expectations I had going in.

Stopped by recently for an early dinner. Their shrimp Alfredo & seafood risotto was well seasoned & delicious. Also got the calamari fries which was good too. Definitely hit the spot.

Found this place by a reference. No waiting time but the table is very dirty. We ordered three main courses, Ube French toast, chicken waffle, and BLT salad. First, the taste is really plain. Nothing special about the recipe. Price is on the higher side. The salad has only a few small pieces of bacon which cost $16. Overall, this place doesn’t match my expectations. We drove about 30 mins here to enjoy just a very common brunch, which was an insane decision. Can easily have a much better experience at NEP cafe just close by.

An interesting place. We walked in and they told us it would be a while because there were only 2 servers for the whole restaurant. One server was also the bar tender. It was a bit of a turn off but we sat anyway. Surprisingly...there was no wait. Everything came out fast. The service worked hard... Nothing bad to report on that front. The drinks were really great. 22 dollars for for devilled eggs with a sliver of seafood. Seems like a weird appetizer to have at this place but there were lots of options. One item got messed up and they were very gracious and apologetic about it. The manager came out as well. The location was a little weird. There were a lot of car alarms going off and at least 4 homeless people went by our table. Maybe eat inside where it's swanky and nice. For the food.... I really didn't like any of it the lobster in the mac was rubbery and the noodles were watery and not many breadcrumbs... But my dad loved everything he ate. So hard to say. The plant on the patio needs some love.

Stopped at this place while on vacations. We arrived between 8:20pm-8:30pm. We were seated near the bar since the other room was closed for tonight. Our server was nice but once food arrived, he then focused on the table next to us, who were 7 people and ordered some alcoholic drinks, we didn’t. It took forever for some lady come to us and asked us if we needed something. We just wanted salt/pepper and more tartar sauce. The lady brought what we needed. The server then handled us the bill. He didn’t even asked us if we wanted something else or desert. The staff were more focused on the people to finish and go, so they could close for tonight. The food was on point!

This was a disappointment. Lauded as the best lobster roll in CA which is the reason we came. But it was far from that. The meat was all claw and not a tinge of sweetness to it that normally differentiate Maine lobsters from the rest. Our server was not attentive, forgetting to follow up on the appetizer or even to refill our water. The main meal came before it and seem offended when we were talking to the guy who brought out our food. We won’t be back. Update: Thank you for the gift card offer but I think I will refuse. I appreciate your attention to this matter though.

So, a bit of a late review, but this restaurant was first on my list because the reviews were so good. After a day at the beach, I came to this place for dinner. Sadly, I left disappointed. The lobster roll was a little expensive but was decent. The clam chowder, however, was not. It was way too salty and caused stomach issues for me and three other members of my party. The appetizer selection was decent but nothing special. And, honestly, my biggest complaint was that we were made to feel uncomfortable by this manager-type person who kept looking at me and followed me whenever I left the restroom. I'm not sure if he was trying to see if I was doing something wrong, but whatever it was, it made the whole group feel uncomfortable. The one good thing I can say is that the atmosphere was nice. I didn't order drinks here, but it looked like a good place to have a drink. Overall, we left disappointed.

Dirk Huang

We got the fried chicken waffle, pork belly, Ube toast, and grilled avocado salad. The food was nicely presented, but was very mid. The waffle and toast were not flavorful, and the waffle was especially soggy. The pork belly was also very bland, with the rice being very soggy too. The avocado salad however was good, but portion was very small. The service was pretty good, but we did find a few items that made the dining experience less than satisfactory. There was white hair in the food and the cups used for water were rusted. Upon asking the waiter, they said that the cups have been rusted for 5 years now, with the owners aware. And yet they have not changed them. Overall the experience was very mediocre. It was not really worth the hour wait for the table. I would look elsewhere for a brunch place.

# Kabob Republic: Un Viaje Culinario al Corazón de Costa Mesa

En el vibrante tapiz gastronómico de Costa Mesa, emerge un destino que celebra la riqueza de sabores y la tradición ancestral de la cocina mediterránea y de Oriente Medio: Kabob Republic. Ubicado estratégicamente en Newport Boulevard, este establecimiento ofrece una experiencia culinaria que trasciende la simple comida, invitando a sus comensales a un viaje de aromas, texturas y hospitalidad.

Costa Mesa, una ciudad conocida por su dinamismo cultural, su oferta comercial de primer nivel y su espíritu innovador, es el escenario perfecto para un restaurante que honra la autenticidad mientras se adapta al paladar contemporáneo. Kabob Republic se erige como un faro para los amantes del buen comer, aquellos que buscan la calidez de los sabores caseros y la maestría en la preparación de uno de los platos más emblemáticos del mundo: el kabob.

La Fascinante Historia y Cultura del Kabob

Para comprender verdaderamente la esencia de Kabob Republic, es fundamental sumergirse en la profunda historia y el significado cultural del kabob. Este plato, cuyo nombre se deriva de la palabra árabe "kabāb", que significa "carne asada", tiene raíces que se extienden miles de años atrás, abarcando vastas geografías desde el Mediterráneo Oriental hasta Asia Central y el subcontinente indio. No es solo una comida; es un legado culinario transmitido de generación en generación, un símbolo de hospitalidad y celebración.

Los orígenes del kabob se remontan a las prácticas culinarias de las tribus nómadas de la antigüedad, quienes asaban trozos de carne sobre fogatas al aire libre. La simplicidad de la preparación –carne ensartada y cocinada directamente al fuego– ha permitido que el kabob se adapte y evolucione en innumerables formas, reflejando la diversidad de ingredientes y técnicas de cada región. Desde los banquetes reales del Imperio Otomano hasta las modestas reuniones familiares en Persia, el kabob ha ocupado un lugar central en la mesa.

En Turquía, por ejemplo, el shish kabob (trozos de carne marinada en brochetas) y el Adana kabob (carne picada y especiada, amasada alrededor de una brocheta plana) son pilares de la gastronomía. En Irán, el chelow kabob con arroz basmati y mantequilla es el plato nacional, destacando variedades como el koobideh (carne picada de res o cordero) y el jujeh kabob (pollo marinado). Cada país, y a menudo cada región dentro de ellos, aporta su propio toque distintivo, ya sea a través de marinadas secretas, cortes específicos de carne o acompañamientos tradicionales.

La popularidad del kabob no se limita a sus regiones de origen. A lo largo de los siglos, a través de rutas comerciales, migraciones y la diáspora, el kabob viajó por el mundo, conquistando paladares en Europa, América y más allá. Se transformó en el souvlaki griego, el satay del sudeste asiático y el kebap alemán, demostrando su adaptabilidad y atractivo universal. Es esta rica herencia la que Kabob Republic busca honrar y presentar a sus comensales en Costa Mesa.

La Filosofía Culinaria de Kabob Republic

En Kabob Republic, la esencia de la cocina de Oriente Medio y el Mediterráneo se celebra con un enfoque en la frescura, la calidad y la autenticidad. La preparación de un kabob excepcional comienza mucho antes de que la carne toque la parrilla. Implica una cuidadosa selección de ingredientes y una maestría en el arte de la marinación.

Ingredientes de Primera Calidad

La base de cualquier gran kabob es la carne. En un establecimiento como Kabob Republic, se priorizan cortes de primera calidad, ya sea carne de res tierna, cordero suculento o pollo magro. La frescura de estos ingredientes es primordial, ya que influye directamente en el sabor y la textura final del plato. Además de la carne, las verduras frescas como cebollas, pimientos, tomates y calabacines son elementos esenciales, aportando color, nutrientes y un contrapunto refrescante.

El Arte de la Marinación

La marinación es el secreto detrás del sabor profundo y la ternura característica de los kabobs. Cada tipo de carne requiere una marinada específica, cuidadosamente equilibrada con especias, hierbas, ácidos (como jugo de limón o yogur) y aceites. Estas marinadas no solo infunden sabor, sino que también ayudan a ablandar la carne, garantizando que cada bocado sea jugoso y delicioso. Es en esta etapa donde la tradición se encuentra con la innovación, creando perfiles de sabor únicos que respetan las recetas ancestrales. Especias como el zumaque, el comino, el pimentón, el orégano y la menta son solo algunas de las joyas del repertorio aromático que definen la cocina de la región.

La Magia de la Parrilla

El método de cocción es tan crucial como los ingredientes. Los kabobs tradicionales se asan sobre brasas de carbón o una parrilla abierta, lo que imparte un ahumado distintivo y un exterior ligeramente caramelizado, mientras que el interior permanece tierno y húmedo. Esta técnica de cocción a alta temperatura sella los jugos de la carne, creando una experiencia gustativa inigualable. La vista y el aroma de los kabobs chisporroteando en la parrilla son parte integral de la experiencia en un lugar como Kabob Republic.

La Experiencia Gastronómica en Kabob Republic

Visitar Kabob Republic en Newport Boulevard no es solo ir a comer; es sumergirse en una atmósfera que busca evocar la calidez y la generosidad de la cultura mediterránea.

Un Ambiente Acogedor

El diseño interior de un restaurante como Kabob Republic a menudo busca un equilibrio entre lo tradicional y lo moderno. Se puede esperar un espacio que sea a la vez elegante y cómodo, con elementos decorativos que rinden homenaje a la rica herencia cultural de la que proviene su cocina. Tonos cálidos, texturas naturales y una iluminación pensada para crear un ambiente relajado y acogedor son características comunes. El objetivo es que los comensales se sientan como en casa, ya sea que vengan para una comida rápida entre semana o una cena especial en familia.

El Menú: Una Celebración de Sabores

El corazón de Kabob Republic es su menú, una cuidadosa selección de platos que representan lo mejor de la cocina de kabobs. Aunque los detalles específicos del menú pueden variar, se puede anticipar una oferta que incluye:

  • Variedades de Kabobs: Desde el clásico Koobideh Kabob (carne molida sazonada), pasando por el Chicken Shish Kabob (pollo marinado en brochetas), hasta el Lamb Shish Kabob (tiernos trozos de cordero). También es común encontrar opciones de res y, en ocasiones, kabobs de pescado o vegetales para satisfacer todos los gustos.
  • Acompañamientos Esenciales: Los kabobs rara vez se sirven solos. Suelen ir acompañados de arroz basmati esponjoso, a menudo enriquecido con azafrán, que absorbe los jugos y sabores de la carne. Las ensaladas frescas, como la Shirazi Salad (pepino, tomate, cebolla con aderezo de limón y menta) o una ensalada griega, aportan frescura y ligereza.
  • Mezzes y Entrantes: Para comenzar la experiencia, es probable encontrar una selección de mezzes, pequeños platos perfectos para compartir. Esto podría incluir hummus cremoso (puré de garbanzos), baba ghanoush ahumado (puré de berenjenas), tzatziki (yogur con pepino y ajo), y pan pita recién horneado o lavash.
  • Postres y Bebidas: Para culminar la comida, postres tradicionales como el baklava (capas de masa filo con nueces y almíbar dulce) son una delicia. En cuanto a las bebidas, además de las opciones estándar, se podrían ofrecer tés de hierbas, doogh (bebida de yogur salado) o jugos de frutas exóticas.

Servicio y Hospitalidad

La experiencia en Kabob Republic se complementa con un servicio atento y una genuina hospitalidad. El personal suele estar bien informado sobre el menú, dispuesto a guiar a los comensales a través de las opciones y a asegurar que cada visita sea placentera. La calidez en el trato es una característica distintiva de la cultura de Oriente Medio, y los restaurantes que la encarnan buscan replicar esa sensación de ser un invitado de honor.
