It’s pricey for a sandwich, $15 for an 8" and their signature sandwiches are $15 for 6". With that being said, the one I tried (garlic pesto turkey) was really good and I’ll be back.
It’s from the Bay Area - just a lot of bread IMO. I still haven’t found anything that surpasses Jersey Mikes with the hot pepper spread - just like an east coast deli sandwich
 
I'll let you know when I try it. I just checked out their website and their stuff ranges from $2 to $7 but it's a bit misleading because you need to order several to make a meal but it looks good for family-style sharing.

They have combos from $13 to $15 so I guess it's the normal inflation rate.


You can find content on the socials because it's an Irvine eatery and trendy.
 
Mikaya, yet another Chubby Group place, has opened in the old Chili's location. It's supposed to be higher end Shabu style. I get confused by all the different restaurants they have.

Checked out Super Irvine, much roomier than Wholesome Choice. They also have a Persian eatery inside like the old location. Those owners opened Irvine Grill in Quail Hill and it looks like the Super Irvine eatery is owned by them too.

Speaking of Quail Hill, new Thai place, Kinaree, that serves breakfast/brunch opened in the old Nalu's Hawaiian spot. Weird because Thai Bamboo is a few doors down (but there are also 3 Korean eateries in that same center).

Another Thai place opened in Cypress Village, Siam Station. It's the same one over on Barranca and Jamboree (El Pollo Loco / McDonald's). Looks like one is also opening in the Spectrum.

Is Thai the new frozen yogurt? :)
 
A new Thai restaurant is coming to the Spectrum, but it's actually Manaao Thai Comfort Food. I've eaten at the Tustin location and the food is excellent. This will be a great addition to the mall dining scene.
