The Rice in Foothill Ranch (Lake Forest). The owners are from Japan and really take pride in using quality ingredients and offer seasonal menus — their duck soba during summer was amazing 🤤

Mitasie Vegan Cafe

Vegan · Lake Forest · 6 source comments

Mitasie Vegan Cafe in Lake Forest. They only have this location and their original location in HB (their HB location is a full service sit down restaurant unlike their LF location). I also liked Huntington Ramen in Fullerton and Tama Sushi in HB, but I haven't been to them in a while.

Sunny Dumpling House

Lake Forest · 2 source comments

Cloud Cafe in Lake Forest. Good price, mismatched fancy china for coffee, and no frills decor. Sunny Dumpling House - better than Don Tai Fun.

Noodles · Lake Forest · 1 source comments

I’ve catered from Furiwa, Beijing Noodle House, and Capital Seafood. All solid choices. But nothing lit up my guest faces quite like Panda Express…
