Results for Orange County, CA, USA
Finding a place to grab coffee, eat lunch, or enjoy a nice dinner while traveling is hard enough as is, but when you’re in a big city, the options are truly overwhelming.
While my guides are full of one-of-a-kind restaurants for certain neighborhoods, this Essential Eateries map includes the top few Orange County-specific chains that will help you eat like a local on the go. Not only that, but I include a backstory of each chain, my top menu suggestion, and what I consider to be the best location to visit.
This guide can also serve as a “What NOT to Eat” if you’re the kind of person who only wants to try single-location restaurants and want to determine if the place you’re interested in dining is a chain. Just pull up this map when you’re out and about to see where the nearest spots are when your tummy starts rumbling!

Growing up half Vietnamese, I have a deep appreciation for the amount of delicious Viet food options in OC.
This guide explores Vietnamese food beyond just pho and banh mi. We'll try grilled scallops, spring rolls, meat buns, egg coffee, desserts and more.
Note: This guide is a little pricey because many of the spots and their specialties were recommended by word of mouth. Every recommendation on this list has been vetted by me and my family, who have a pretty high bar for Vietnamese food.
