Love portokalopita but I’ve never seen it on a menu in the states :/ if someone knows of a place I’d like to hear. In my experience you can find some decent but not great/authentic Greek food in OC, I’ve had much better experiences in LA. There’s a place called Aliki’s Taverna that was surprisingly good when I went a couple years ago, George’s Greek cafe in Long Beach was also quite good.

I see Dukes a lot on here, Dukes is alright. I’d recommend the Ballast Point Brewery just you the 1 near Long Beach, it’s right on the harbor and very nice place to eat at.

Captain Jacks in Sunset Beach for crab legs. Not in HB, but San Pedro Fish Market in Long Beach has a view of the harbor, outdoor seating, fresh fish, etc. And also not in HB, Water Grill across from South Coast Plaza is a higher end seafood spot with amazing food.

I've seen some of my favorites mentioned already, so I'll add a few new ones:
(1) Punjabi Tandoor in Anaheim (across from the Packing House) - the best Chana Masala and Lamb Vindaloo ever. Family run business with multiple locations but I've only ever been to the one in Anaheim.
(2) Mi Rak Korean…

Shinobu Shabu on Goldenwest is really good. Au Lac in Fountain Valley is worth checking out (vegan). Plum’s in Costa Mesa is also really good, but probably not a “hidden gem”. Coconut Rabbit (Thai) in Cypress can be good, too.
Though it’s not officially in OC, Zuzu’s Petals in Long Beach rocks my world.
Edit: Amarinth Table in Garden Grove is wonderful.
