PhilHouse Ladera Ranch Reviews
One of the best Hookah lounge In USA 🇺🇸 Professional and taste very good really recommend it
The best hookah I could find in Orange County. Waleed makes each hookah with fresh fruit cup and that makes even regular Al Fakher tobacco feel amazing. I was very excited to know they now have Musthave and Darkisde performance tobaccos which are rare gem in this area. Ten stars!
Relaxed atmosphere. Fair prices. Awesome milk tea! And hookah, but that's a given. The guests are chill. Excellent service, owner is kind but I don't wanna butcher the spelling of his name so I won't attempt it.
I needed a hookah and tea after a long drive. This location has plenty of parking.
Great place to kick back and socialize. Also has a very friendly staff that will remember you if you come in more than once.
The best hookah I have tried in this place thank you👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It's always a great time here. Angela creates a great welcoming atmosphere, and her daughter takes care of everything in the lounge. I am always looking forward to coming back.
great place to come in and smoke hookah. Im not a smoker but enjoy coming here after work to study and read, vibe is really nice and relaxing, smells fantastic. food is delicious and service is always wonderful! the owner is attentative and nice.
Hookahs are excellent. The employees are very friendly and change the charcoals on time. The couches are comfy. The owner is sprucing up the place slowly to make it more like a middle eastern place. It is looking nice. ;-)
This place is comfortable, low-key hookah lounge with relaxed atmosphere and is run and maintained almost entirely by one person (the owner). Prices are great, hookahs are well prepared and they come around with extra coals all the time to keep the flavor going
this hookah lounge is truly exceptional! the place is spotless, well-organized, and incredibly comfortable. the service is outstanding, everyone is extremely attentive and welcoming. the hookah flavors are amazing, smooth, and perfectly prepared. they also have a great menu and the overall atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. i highly recommend this lounge to anyone looking for a good hookah experience!
Been coming here for 3 years now & do not go anywhere but here! Hands down the best hookah place in all of OC! Walid is an amazing human being & a great friend! Highly recommend this hookah lounge!
Im not a cigar bar expert. Very friendly staff. Very attentive. Excellent Mediterranean food choices. Hummus is a must try.

*UPDATE* I am uncultured. This is an ice cream cake in other parts of the world. My mistake. I’ve changed my rating to reflect my newly acquired knowledge. I’m leaving my original review for anyone that is expecting a different type of ice cream cake. *Original* This place is beautiful and the hookah is pretty good. DO NOT ORDER THE ICE CREAM CAKE. IT IS A LIE. It’s barely an ice cream sandwich. When I asked for a replacement he said no, because this is what their ice cream cake is…. In what world. There’s no cake 🙃

Not too shabby , feels like your local cozy hookah bar , very friendly staff and servers . The service if fast and they make good drinks , they also have games !! I took one star off because the music was kind of loud at 1 AM and the selection of the music can improve !

They charged me 165$ for two hookah and two kepap sandwich , two coffe , one water !!! They overpriced me , never go there
The worst hookah lounge ever. He asked me to leave the store because I’m having the tea cup. Also charged me 2 dollars for paying though Apple Pay and charged me for a hookah which I didn’t order?!!
A very rude and unprofessional man answered the phone today when I called to ask a simple question, I know he was perhaps on edge because they aren’t getting business right now. But if he wants to continue to get business when this whole thing is done, he should really still have high standards on how he treats loyal customers. I will not be coming back to this establishment when the businesses are allowed to reopen.
The purpose of my writing is this ( human) can't make different between a business and money, last time I went there, one of his employee swear same time he mixed used tobacco with a new one just because to save a money, about the food, indoor hookah lounge doesn't allowed to serve a food, it's 100% toxic, smell charcoal inside, no ventilation, to much dirty.
