All these foodie years of gatekeeping these spots, I'm ready to share! Some you already know, but hoping you'll find a couple on here that will turn into your new favorite eatery.

Mango Sticky Rice. Pineapple Pog. Ube Pandesal. Guave Cream Cheese. .. Just get all the flavors.
Stella Jean's
Get your pho Skakin' Style with a poached egg. Ugh, so good! Also, their fried rice is underrated.
Sup Noodle Bar
Don't skip on the bread sticks! Order more!
Dominic's Ristorante Italiano
If you stop by during the spring/summer time, be sure to get the strawberry buttermilk. Chef's kiss!
Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee
They just renovated so its basically triple the space they had before. They have a seasonal Coconut Creme Matcha Latte. SOOO good! Their loco moco is great & the food is Grandma P approved!
Breezy
See that black pitcher on the table? It’s broth. Hot comforting broth. 🤤
Yoo's place · Irvine, CA
Not going to lie, this place might just be more nostalgic to me more than anything. It's the tried and true point-point resturant in Cerritos. New to filipino food? No problem! The staff is always so kind and helpful.
Pinoy Pinay Fast Food
Their fried chicken omelet has my heart! 💖
CoCo Ichibanya USA
This was my pregnancy craving. The Moonlight or the Double Rainbow bowl are a must try!
Alohana Acai
This a great place for some great tacos and a good margarita.
Tempo - Mexican Resturant
I havent been to their new location yet, but their CPC ALWAYS hits the spot.
Da Hawaiian Kitchen
Ok, fair warning.. this place gets a little crazy busy. Totally worth the wait for me! But the hack is to go during lunch and right when they open.
ALL THAT SHABU
We've eaten here in my youth and I still find myself coming back in adulthood. My go to is the Tonkatsu Miso. If you hungry enough, add the chasu fried rice or curry rice and make it a combo! I added it anyways and take the rice home for later.
Gomen Ramen
The strawberry croissants are a standard must have but you should also try: boston cream donut, baked cheese, milk bread, raspberry cream cheese. Also, their grab and go sandwhiches are great and of course a spam musubi at checkout.
Cream Pan Bakery
Their crab enciladas and black beans are amazing! If the address is being weird, its at Pacfic City on the second floor.
Ola Mexican Kitchen
Been going to their food truck for years. We recently visited their store front and it’s just as amazing as their truck. Get your churro with ice cream.
Don Churros Gomez 1969
I've been coming to this place since I was a kid. I love that they don't fill their burritos with so much filler. Such a great choice for authentic Mexican food.
