Tiny’s (Costa Mesa)
Chef Sang Yoon’s OC experiment begins.
It’s located in the old Boudin spot at SCP.
It is indeed a burger & fries place with a kombini that includes beer and wine. There’s an adorable picnic salad, 2 types of egg salad sandwiches on milk bread and a chicken salad on squaw bread. More on these later.
Solid burger. Not a smash burger so going double makes for a really hefty meal. You’ll need a nap.
Great fries and the house made ranch is more herby than Prime Pizza’s.
The mac & cheese was fine. My companion loved the miso hit. I didn’t think it was miso enough.
The Tokyo dog was a good time. The dog was great…snappy and beefy. And I quite I enjoyed having okonomiyaki toppings and sauces on top.
The tuna melt was fine. Probably more cheesy than I would prefer. If it’s milk bread, the griddle zaps all that away, so you can’t tell. Tuna could have used more seasoning and acid.
Grabbed some kombini items to go. The chicken salad was fine…lots of herbs, but I felt it was missing something. Egg salad was great..though there are is a halved hard-boiled egg shoved in that should also have been seasoned, but the milk bread is good.
Would come back for the burger, fries, dog, and the dole pineapple whip. Twist with Straus vanilla soft serve if you don’t want pure pineapple happiness.
