The Real OC top restaurant picks

1. Tabento   Costa Mesa

This is a true-hidden gem tucked away in a random strip mall. You won't find a more affordable and fresh sushi place anywyere in OC


2. Thanh Restaurant   Irvine

Upscale, yet affordable Vietnamese for those looking to spend a bit more for clean tables and high quality ingredients


3. Fukada Restaurant   Irvine

Healthy / organic Japanese food at its best. Sashimi salad is to die for


4. Cafe Zinc   Laguna Beach

Best veggie burger around, period . Good brunch too but go early as it's crowded w/ dog walkers on the wknds


5. Citrus Cafe   Tustin

A quality neighborhood joint


6. Philly's Best   Irvine

I know this is a chain and there's a bunch of them around but this one makes the best "steak with" I've had since I left Philly 10 yrs ago


7. Bistango   Irvine

Weirdly tucked in a corporate park but excellent food and nice atmosphere in an upscale settting. Excellent braised short ribs


8. Lucca Cafe & Market   Irvine

A bit pricey, but very good Italian 'tapas' and winebar


9. Inkas Restaurant   Irvine

Another one hidden in an office park. Fantastic Peruvian food. Closed on weekends I believe


10. Clay Oven Quisine of India   East Irvine

Highly authentic Indian food - bit pricier than others in the neighborhood but definitely try the crab curry!
