Goro Japanese Restaurant
Nov 24, 2007 by Hank from Irvine
Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• The food is terrific, very filling, and at a fair price.
• Seating is a bit tight if you want privacy.

“Apart from the sushi and other authentic Japanese meals, Goro has some fantastic combination plates that we have been getting for at least 10 years. Our favorite is the C6, shrimp tempura, chicken teriyaki, and California roll. The dinner comes on a huge plate complete with potato salad! And lettuce with a side of rice and 2 courses ahead of the Enter, a bowl of delicious Mizo soup and a very tasty salad. My mouth is watering just thinking of it! But Ill have to wait a couple hours since it's still mid afternoon.”

Restaurant Taiko

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Their friendliness and service.
• None.

“We live a distance from Taiko's so we usually do take out. Their food is second to none! And when we do eat there, we feel like they are just at our bacon call. They are great.”

Maizuru Restaurant
Nov 10, 2007 by DaveInIrvine from Irvine, CA
Overall Rating: 2
Food:[2] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Nothing.
• Noisy cafeteria atmosphere, tough sushi, never knows if they'll serve.

“Sushi quality is inconsistent, often tough and chewy, sometimes ok. Hours are unreliable. You might walk in one night an hour before closing and learn that it's "last call". Need to order your entree immediately as they're closing the kitchen. If you're a late eater, stay away from this place. Service is "forced friendly. Polite enough, but one gets the feeling it's not genuine. Overall, Id go elsewhere. There are plenty of other choices in and around Irvine.”

Chipotle Mexican Grill
Oct 12, 2007 by slobo from Serbia and Montenegro
Overall Rating: 5

• Can't wait for the restaurant to open.
• Girls in the gx470 Lexus.

“Beware of the 2 Latina looking girls working at Chipotle. I had a brush with them in the parking lot of the spectrum a couple of weeks ago. They were driving a white gx470 Lexus around lunch time. I was waiting for a car that was backing out of his space and the 2 girls were behind me. The driver of the backing car apparently is taking his time to back out. The girl driver of the gx470 sped up and took a parking space a good distance away from where I am supposed to park. When I already got my spot and was walking towards the spectrum, I saw them looking and talking about me. I know they are talking about me coz I understand a bit of Spanish. They were laughing too, apparently because I was waiting for the guy to back out and there was an available spot a few meters away. What is up with that? To each his own. Excited with Chipotles opening, but if I ever see those 2 girls in the gx470 Lexus around; I will definitely have to find another place.”
