Food: Bland tastes and paltry portions

Zov's Irvine delightfully disappoints with limited menu options that lack variety and inspiration. The creativity of their entrées leaves much to be desired, thinking inside the box is an understatement. The lack of flavor in the dishes is overwhelming, and so is the inconsistency of the food quality, sometimes fresh, sometimes stale. Portions are small and not worth their rather high prices.

  • Okay Taste

    Varied experiences with food, sometimes fantastic, other times average.

  • Low Quality

    Inconsistent food quality, with experiences of stale, old, and overcooked items.
