Starbucks Irvine Reviews
Just so happen to be in this area decided to give this spot a try. I’m glad I came and will definitely return in the future. The food looks and tastes fresh with just the right amount of each ingredient. The portion was slightly more than expected but I’m a big back so no worries there. Jose was awesome and explained the menu since it was my first time. I got the San Diego with lamb/beef meat choice and it was delicious not dry and full of flavor!Overall I loved everything!!!
Food is great, service is just as good. Fresh ingredients and great vibes. Definitely will be coming back.
The cashier, Sophia was so sweet and provided excellent customer service. She also greeted every customer that came in. She helped me picked which chicken I should get. I got the chicken wrap. It was huge! It was so good. I’ve added their garlic yogurt sauce and it made it 10x better. The food was cooked fresh. They also had upbeat music playing so it’s not awkwardly silent inside. It’s also very clean. This place is very affordable. Not many places make their food affordable for many people nowadays. I will definitely come back.
It was good. I would come again. I had the lamb beef plate.
The chicken shwamara is amazing and pita and saffron rice
It was amazing Food was so good (their garlic sauce is amazing) And people are so kind (thanks Sofia😆) I'll definitely visit again
I love this place! The lamb wrap is amazing! The chicken too! I don’t think you can go wrong in anything you order. And Stephany was so friendly!

I went to the one on Culver in Irvine their food is absolutely delicious and their prices are very reasonable, and I got absolutely amazing service from Jonathan their manager
Our kid’s track team had a fundraising event here and I’m so glad they did! This was our first time at TKS and we will definitely be back. Everything was freshly made and absolutely delicious. The falafel was so good - moist and incredibly flavorful. Wendy suggested the crave fries and these did not disappoint. She was so helpful in helping us pick out items on the menu. We had the Super Duper wrap, chicken schwarma bowl and Caesar crunch plate. Get the pita crumbles on your bowl or plate - they make the dish!
Once again Kabob shop hits the spot. I had some work in Irvine and was craving some kebabs and I was happy to see Jonathan here. Always has a smile on his face. Food was fire and the sauce was the boss. 10 out of 5 stars!!
Food was great! We had to order more, the chicken was so flavorful and tender. Definitely coming back!
This is a great concept for a restaurant. I'd call it Mediterranean fast food but the quality is great. I asked Wendy for a little insight into some menu items and she explained everything very well. I highly recommend TKS.
Food was great. Worker named Chris was extremely nice and helpful

Food was great. The wrap I got was fresh, colorful and visually appealing. I really liked the portion size. Service from Stephanie was awesome. Will definitely be back!
Had a great dinner last night at this location.... The food was delicious and we got great service, Carolina had great recommendations and was super friendly. I would 100% recommend having a nice meal here.
Our first time trying the restaurant and we had a very pleasant dinner! Our waitress was friendly and she even offered us a complimentary fries as a side dish! We will def come back again! The service was great and the food was delicious!
This place used to be our go to, from choices like donerg and cava. The thing is that shrinkflation keeps occurring and the price is already pretty expensive ($16-18 a wrap). A wrap used to be pretty big, and now it's smaller than a subway sandwich. Not cool. Taste is good and the sauces are still generous. Hope they can fix the portioning issue. **edit: 12/27/24 portioning is better. bumping an additional star to three for now.

Ordered a to go order with a super duper wrap with lamb, tzatziki dip with pita chips and fire hummus with pita chips. The tzatziki dip was hardly any in there in comparison to the hummus. That was disappointing. It wasn’t bad but not mind blowing either. The fire hummus was ok, again not bad but not mind blowing either. A bit too spicy for a hummus imo. The wrap I had ordered hot sauce on the side and never received it. First bite it was very dry. Literally hard to swallow dry. The lamb was seemingly overcooked or had been left out too long under a heat lamp and just beyond dry. There also wasn’t any flavor that was popping here. This should be a very flavorful wrap. Not sure if the cooks were not on their A game or this is standard practice ? Nothing worse than a wrap that is that dry. And this is supposedly the wrap that put them on the map?! If that’s the case then I’m certainly not eager to go back and try anything else. First impression is very important. My impression was that there was not a lot of care put into the food and just slapped together. Portions being shorted, missing hot sauce I ordered etc. Not the best experience.
I took a delivery, and the portion size was a surprise; it was very small. I am not sure whether the management decided to cut down the size or it was specific to the location. I've never seen this size before. Also, the rice was hard. I am missing the taste, as I used to have it before.

First time I ordered here last night and I ordered for to go at kiosk for build your own plate with Beef Krofta and as add on extra chicken shawarma. When I picked up and got home there's no extra chicken shawarma, I paid extra $6 for it and nothing. I hope somebody could reach out to me for this issue pls.
Jose the manager does not appreciate the customer.. I ordered steak and was rare. I asked the one who was standing on the counter to cook a little bit more and he refused because I already taken my order. I told him but this is too rare. My kids cannot eat it. Can you replace it? And he said no we will not Replace it. He said that it’s the way we cooked it here. it was not the first time I eat steak in this location. I have told him, but you didn’t ask me how well I needed it and he said we don’t ask the customer!!! I ask for the manager and he surprised me that he is a manager. He literally ignored me and I had to throw the order. I will not eat in that location anymore they don’t appreciate the customer.
I’ve always had great experiences with TKS—until I visited the Irvine location. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst meals I’ve had. The bowl I ordered was completely off in terms of portioning compared to other locations I frequent, and it was drenched in an overwhelming amount of sauce. The plate I ordered was even more disappointing—it had such a thin layer of rice that for $17, you’d expect at least a proper base. What really sealed the experience was seeing my food sit on the counter for 15 minutes without anyone calling it out i assumed it was a to go order—especially considering we were the only dine-in customers at the time. Sadly, I won’t be returning to this location and won’t be recommending it to others.
I really wanted to like this place but after two separate visits it's clear this place is a rip off. All their pictures and social media show wraps overflowing with meat and fries but each time I have gone they don't add more than 4 pieces of gyro and 6 fries.....all for a $20 wrap!!!!! I held out hope it would get better at the bottom of the wrap but the good times never came. Should rename this place The Lettuce Shop. Go to literally any other Mediterranean restaurant.

The food was cold, and it took a long time to prepare. After taking home three plates, one of the side was missing. The fryer wasn’t working, so side options were limited. The tabbouleh was extremely salty and overly lemony impossible to eat.
