Chapter Two California Kitchen

"Came in today with very limited time for lunch. We were seated and served very quickly, and the food was superb. Tried an off-menu steak curry with green peppercorns which was fantastic and had a kick. Also tried the fried Hawaiian fish which was to DIE FOR. So flavorful, light, crispy, with delicious sauce and fruit. Also tried the drunken noodles which held up great (not the best I’ve had in the IE, but fantastic nonetheless). Portions are great, prices are great, and the employees are incredibly nice and helpful. Only shame is it’s by the road, but the decor and plants more than make up for it. Wonderful place to take someone on a date or have a fun brunch out. Instant favorite restaurant in Loma Linda, and I’ve tried nearly everything worth trying."

"An essential, unassuming, low key eatery that serves spectacular food and beverages. Wonderful flavors in every sip, or bite. Well worth a stop for a meal. Great thought is put into presentation, and you feel a slight pang of guilt as you consume. It's a treat all around. Thank you for having us!"

"This is my go to Thai food near work. The food is fresh, it tastes good, and reasonably priced. The staff is helpful and nice. They've got outdoor seating if you like that. Give them a try. 1/8/24 Lunch. Hawaiian Fish. Battered tasty fried fish in an orange-pineapple sauce with green onions, yellow, orange, and green bell peppers, pineapple, carrots, and thinly sliced radishes with a side of blue rice. Wow! Delicious. As an appetizer I ordered the Tofu. My first time trying it here and I must say it was fantastic. If you are around here, please check it out. This place does not disappoint. 1/19/24 Lunch. Chicken Catsu plate. Japanese inspired, the chef made it on a whim and asked me to try it out. It was like fried chicken, moist and the crust was crunchy. Served with blue rice and veggies (broccoli, squash, and eggplant steamed) accompanied with a bowl of Green curry. The curry was delicious. Slighty sweet, slightly spicy. The perfect amount of heat. Absolutely wonderful. The presentation is picturesque and you can tell there is thought that goes into every dish. I really like this spot. My mission, to try every dish on the menu once. Great lunch today."

"We'll be back for sure! My dad and I stopped here today looking for a local spot for lunch. We were not disappointed, in fact, I was very impressed! The restaurant is very small inside, with just a few tables, but it was clean and had a quaint, charming vibe. The staff was so friendly and helpful, checking on us throughout and allowing substitutions. We ordered Thai iced tea with coconut milk and it arrived garnished with little cookies, a fresh flower, and thyme sprig. It was delicious, as were the Drunken Noodles and house specialty Crying Tiger entree. I really appreciated the aesthetic presentation, too. Definitely stop in if you enjoy Thai food and would like to try something well crafted, but also affordable!"

"We were looking for a Thai place to eat and this was the first to show in search. Though slightly hidden, it was an absolute gem with a quiet and intimate atmosphere. The price of the food was nowhere near expensive, yet the presentation and the flavor of the food warranted a larger impact on the wallet. Everything is from scratch. I highly reccomend their peach tea soda paired with the chicken slammer to start, the porkbelly for the entree (if vegan or vegetarian a tofu curry), and to end a fresh banana crepe."
