Aioli Restaurant & Catering

First visit in years as I no longer work nearby. I knew this place years ago when it was known as Chicago's Best, and it introduced me to the Italian Beef sandwich. Same guy working there as before, I think he is the owner, and it was just rebranded with a new name.

I ordered the Italian beef sandwich with sweet peppers, along with their fries, and everything was as good as I remembered from years ago. Sandwich is generously dipped with au jus, and it is just as messy to eat as in the past. I love their fries, too, which is very similar in style to the fries at Five Guys Burgers but without that seasoned salt.

I'm always looking for good options for Italian beef sandwiches, but haven't found any in south OC where I now work. Aioli is the best option that I've found in central OC, while Portillo's is the only option I know of in north OC.

Great food but dirty eating area/food court.

Food is really fresh, good quality (not excellent) and excellent price. A good value for sure.

The food is amazing. Aioli’s catered a 30th wedding anniversary and the food was simply amazing. This is the best Italian food in Irvine. You have to try it

This place is located in a business area food court. You can miss it driving by. Let me tell you the burgers are amazing, I was so stuffed, place is not cheap but worth it. Seating is tight too. But Im going back.
