Amarith Farmhouse in Orange County Serves Clean, From-Scratch Comfort Food You’ll Crave

“We had a family member with cancer, and we learned how bad processed foods were for people. Because of that, we make our food from scratch and keep artificial food coloring, MSG and synthetic preservatives out of our kitchen,” says Sana Amarith, owner of Amarith Farmhouse.

“We really care for our customers and want to offer them quality food. We also focus on great customer service and set it as an expectation of our employees,” says Amarith.

The fresh, casual menu features everything from hand-battered chicken and waffles to the best-ever breakfast burritos featuring pasture-raised eggs with house-made potatoes. Lunch and dinner menus include artisan sandwiches, gourmet salads and an outstanding Famous Fried Chicken. They’ve got organic espresso and house-made syrups. Displays are full of specialty pantry goods like farm-fresh eggs, local honey, housemade granola and organic fruit compotes.

They started in Orange in an office complex, then grew to Garden Grove and Fountain Valley. Two years ago, they opened their fourth location, a takeout spot in the Flower Streets of Corona Del Mar.

“We feed our customers like family. To us, this means nourishing and quality food should be in every meal, every day,” says Amarith.

Speaking of every day, that burrito I mentioned was the OC Burrito, and yes, they saw me every day for five days! Don’t get me wrong, we couldn’t keep our eyes off the banana cream pies and carrot cake either.

And what are the family’s favorites?

“We’re Cambodian. Chicken Num Pang is a Cambodian-French sandwich with a fresh baguette, grilled chicken and our house-made pickled veggies that make it the perfect everyday lunch,” says Amarith.

Looking ahead, the Amarith family is focusing on making chicken pot pies available everywhere as a ready-to-bake product. “We want to have the number-one, most irresistible chicken pot pie that is made with clean ingredients, like organic peas and carrots, pure olive oil, real butter and non-GMO flour.

I wanted to know the family’s big dream.

“I want our restaurants to become a staple that enriches our customers’ lives—a place where they can enjoy their favorite comfort foods, knowing that it’s made from scratch with real, healthy ingredients,” she concluded.
