🍴 Craving Good Food and Better Company?

Let’s be honest, eating out is fun, but eating with people who live for flavor the way you do? That hits different.

We started OC Bites because we were tired of the same restaurant recs, the same tired chains, and the same awkward solo Yelp missions. We wanted to connect over crispy pork belly, hot bowls of ramen, and unspoken nods that say “damn, that’s good.”

Whether you’re a local food hunter, a quiet menu analyst, or just here for the vibes and dumplings, we’ve got a seat for you.

What We Do

  • 🍜 Host local food meetups at spots worth talking about
  • 🥟 Discover under-the-radar eats that don’t make the ‘Top 10’ lists
  • 🧋 Build community around shared meals and spontaneous conversations
  • 🍴 Support small restaurants and hidden gems that deserve love

Why It Matters

We believe food tastes better when you’re not just eating it, you’re sharing it. That moment when everyone goes quiet after the first bite? That’s what we chase.

No cliques, no weird pressure, just food lovers meeting over great meals.

Come Grab a Bite

Want in? We’re always adding new spots to the list and new faces to the table. Whether you’re new to the city or just want to mix up your weeknights, you’re welcome here.
