Costa Azul Restaurant - (Near Santa Ana, CA)

BurnMan recently had the chance to stop by Charcoal Kitchen in Glendale, and I have to say, it was a fantastic experience! I’ve heard great things about the place, but the chicken here really blew me away. I went with the charbroiled chicken, and it was incredible—perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The skin had a nice crisp to it, while the inside was tender and moist. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and the seasoning was just the right balance of savory with a touch of smokiness. I couldn’t stop going back for another bite. It also comes with a generous portion of sides—fresh, perfectly seasoned rice, crispy fries, and a really tasty salad. Everything complemented the chicken beautifully. The atmosphere at Charcoal Kitchen is relaxed and casual, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The service was fast, and I felt like I was getting great value for the quality of the food. If you’re craving grilled chicken, this place is an absolute must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back for more next time I’m in Glendale! Highly recommend it.

Tryston Thomas Food was so so very good. We are on a road trip from ogden to ft bragg n this place is the first place my 5 yr old son ate all his food AND EGGS. We will definitely be back on our way home kids asked specifically for that place again today 3 days later hahaha

Mihir Phadke Really good spot for Taiwanese food! The weather was quite rainy and I had a craving for some Taiwanese beef noodle soup, and this place didnt disappoint at all. I got the traditional beef noodle soup and the spiciest popcorn chicken on the side, and both were 10/10 fantastic! The beef noodle soup was perfect, with a really flavourful broth and many large pieces of tender beef. The popcorn chicken was very crispy and the spice mix on it was absolutely delicious. Besides that, the service is pretty quick, the staff are very friendly, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere with some cool artwork on the wall. Overall, Id highly recommend checking this place out especially if you like beef noodle soup or popcorn chicken. Ill definitely be back!
