• Parking: Typically ample plaza parking with steady turnover during dinner hours.
• Kid friendliness: Comfortable for families, quick pacing and shareable plates.

Final Take
Refined comfort with clarity and heart. Five stars for flavor, kindness, and a room that makes you want to linger for one more conversation.“

“the broth is clear, not greasy, which I appreciate. But the flavor just doesn’t fully develop—it lacks that deep chicken richness and layered aromatics I expect from great phở gà. I’d give it a 3.5 out of 5. Not bad, but not crave-worthy either.

Service was quick, the place was clean, and prices were fair.“

“I'm really impressed with this restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The Beef Stew I tried yesterday was extremely flavorful, but what I liked most was the enthusiastic and friendly service.“

“I was here on a rainy day last week and can say how this lab curated the most nourishing pho broth I’ve ever tasted! Ever in the Huntington Beach area? Give it a try! Lifted my mood and gave my body back some life. The banh mi was also great - fresh crunchy bread with a soft inside filled with freshly cooked yummies! Enjoy 👩🏻‍🍳“

“Today is Christmas Eve. It's after twelve o'clock at noon. 11 of us dined in this Korean restaurant. The meat in this restaurant is very fresh, and the restaurant waiter is also very warmly welcoming us, providing us with high-quality services and helping customers barbecue winter meat food! This restaurant is really good👌👍👍👍! All of us are satisfied👍! I will come back again. I will recommend more relatives and friends to come here to experience delicious food!“

“Pho 45 in Garden Grove is a bright, busy, and very clean spot with a friendly vibe. We ordered the phở tái chín và viên and the phở tái nạm gân. The portions were generous and well balanced, with fresh herbs and noodles. The broth was light and I personally wished for a bit more spice aroma, but it was still one of the better pho experiences I have had.

The service truly stood out. For a small mom and pop restaurant, it was the best I have seen. The owner watches every detail and the staff is very attentive. I had a stroller with me and before I even reached the table they cleared a chair so I could park it easily. Our food also came out super fast.

The space is simple with white textured walls and is very family friendly. Service is a 10, food is a 9. I would definitely return“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.“

“Nothing fishy about this place. It's a small family run business. Blame covid for the price increases and there are sign posted to make you aware of the increase. it's the best food and most reasonable prices in town. if you cant afford a 11 dish then don't buy or complain about it. These reviews are for the food not whiners.“

“Great Food and in small restaurant could see large groups we had two tables of 7“

“Top notch Italian food ... Especially for a chain restaurant. Out server was fast, friendly, and efficient. Her right biceps was strong from hearing all that cheese onto salads... And anything else we wanted it on. We all had different dishes from lasagna to shrimp to fettuccini. We kept sharing and couldn't decide which was best .. All of them!“

“I have been coming here for a long time. I have tried a few different dishes & every one was wonderful. But I moved to Anaheim a year ago. So I don't get to come here as often. But when I do I always get the Moo Shoo Pork with extra pancakes. The staff is ALWAYS happy to see me. They are so friendly. It's a great place for take out or a great place to bring the family along Either way you won't be disappointed.i highly recommend if you are in the area to go there?“

“Great food and service! My husband loves ordering fried calamari everywhere, and this place has his all-time favorite fried calamari! Has great food for both an adult palate and kid’s palate so everyone’s happy. Kid got a banh mi sandwich and ate the whole thing! They made it not spicy. Surprisingly kid friendly. Can’t wait to come back here on our next Disney trip!“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“It was yummy and fast. Everything was fresh and clean“

“I ordered this place many many times. One time I also noticed the “suspicious” fried tofu with black dots on them. I was so angry so I called the owner, they explained to me the crispy tofu soaked with 卤汁 sauce will make the tofu looks like it’s not fresh… I didn’t believe him at first then I poked the black dots and they were really small pockets of sauce…. I don’t think they deserve a 3 star!!! It’s actually really yummy and taste fresh… I often crave this place. Also today when I ordered, I noticed they changed their tofu type and added more bok choy. Thanks for improving and maintaining a good quality!“

“My wife and I heard from a friend about the pho at Saigon District, and we have been addicted ever since. The richness and burst of flavor from the broth is unmatched! We also highly recommend the Banh Mi entree. We are working our way through the entire menu and will report back. 😋 👍🏾👌🏾“

“Come here for lunch and pick up dinner! Excellent Mexican food in Costa Mesa right on Fairview and Baker. The caldo de res and caldo de pollo are soooo goood! Perfect balance of veggies and meat …my family loves it ♥️“

“This place has the best Pho and Lousiana Cajun seafood near Knott's Berry Farm.

Its located on Magnolia near La Palma Ave same center as Popeyes.

Its a mom and pop operation and the food seems home cooked.

Atmosphere is quiet and soothing with the sound of birds

The Lousiana seafood can be boiled which is a great healthier option. The fried seafood is savory.

You must try the Rib Cube beef Pho its super beefy.“

“My favorite location and everyone here is so kind! The staff has always been a pleasure to be around, even when we came close to closing time. I truly felt so bad, as I hate doing it, but we had a dinner emergency and the staff there were thrilled to have us! They saved dinner! Thank you!“

“Went in today !! Gotta say the food was great .. had spicy beef soup and my wife had bulgogi and dumplings … was completely satisfied with this place !! Also we were the only 2 customers there .. which was shocking after having tasted the food … very delicious… how is this not a popular place ???“

“Wonderful food! Me and my partner stopped in and loved the food. We are not vegan but still had a delightful experience. Staff was highly attentive and kind. Would def go again if we lived in the area! Menu on website is not accurate , I would suggest going in to look at the menu. Also heads up that they are cash only.“

“Best pho I ever had! Clean place. At 1230am, this restaurant was still packed.“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.“

“Good vegetarian pho, friendly staff.“

“First time here and we loved everything about it. Service is great, food was delicious from sizzling soup , salt and pepper fish, scallops with black bean sauce to fried banana with ice cream.
Really enjoyed it.
Will come back soon“

“Oysters are always super delicious and fresh! The list of oysters is extensive and ever changing. The salads are so filling and the clam chowder is the bomb! Staff is always friendly and the service is great.“

“Party of 6 went for lunch at 2pm on a Sunday in December. The restaurant is very spacious, with multiple rooms, and we were able to find a large booth pretty easily. In true Olive Garden fashion, we were given an endless supply of warm breadsticks with creamy alfredo sauce, and I am sure I had 4 of them after my 10k run earlier. Some of us had the salad, others soup, and again, we were given a huge bowl of salad which was refilled once as well. It was pretty delicious. I had the spaghetti and meatballs entree, which was very good in both quantity and quality as well. Our server was very friendly, and kept inquiring repeatedly if we needed anything. Great experience, and before tips, it came to around 25 bucks per person, including some iced teas that some folks got.“

“This place has my favorite chicken dishes. When I’m feeling like I need something with broth, I’m going for the pho ga. When I’m feeling for some rice, I pick the com ga chien ( fried chicken rice). They have many other great dishes as well. If you’re in the area, stop by and dine . You won’t be disappointed.“

“Omg this is my new favorite spot for Hu tieu nam vang! I got the dry version with rice noodles which came it to around $15. It was soo delicious and perfectly balanced. The sauce brings the whole dish together and love the pickled garlic! Broth was so good and comforting. The gentlemen taking our order was so friendly and upbeat. Definitely recommend!!“

“Have been coming here for years! Their jokbal is so chewy and full of collagen. And I can't speak enough about their soondae gookbap, it is very delicious with full of flavors. If you are at H mart for grocery shopping I recommend stopping by at this place to try their food. I high recommend!“

“I have traveled night and day for A Chinese restaurant that reminded me of home. No it’s only was the service so fast but everyone here is so kind. This is a place where community is really brought together. I have been in dire need of a good egg drop soup in this place was it! The orange chicken is so good, I will be, regular here once a month!“

“Santouka Ramen is hands down one of the best ramen spots you’ll find inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. Their signature Shio Ramen with Toroniku pork cheek is simply outstanding—rich, creamy broth that’s perfectly balanced and never overwhelming, paired with chewy noodles cooked just right. The Toroniku pork is unbelievably tender and flavorful, melting in your mouth with every bite.

What I love most is that the ramen is not spicy, making it a comforting bowl that everyone in the family can enjoy. Portions are generous, and if you grab the combo with a rice bowl on the side, it feels like a complete, satisfying meal. The Takoyaki was also delicious—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and topped with the perfect sauce and bonito flakes, making it the perfect side dish to the ramen.

The consistency here is impressive—every visit tastes just as good as the last. If you’re at Mitsuwa and craving authentic Japanese ramen, Santouka is a must-try, five-star experience.“

“First time here, and Hoang Gia's owner Tang is the nicest and most friendly host!
Customer service is top notch, which will have me come back...

We tried the Crunchy Egg Rolls, which was made fresh, hot, and crispy!
The Nem Nuong Roll was delicious!
We were lucky to try a free sample of his Wonton as they sold out of it.
The Green Thai Tea was refreshing as well! My kids can't wait to come back to eat everything again!

Next time, I will try the Banh Canh Noodle Soup, I saw someone ordered it and the seafood were all individually packed for freshness!

Their cakes looked delicious as well!“

“Great Thai food nice Service 👍❤️“

“Place was packed during Saturday lunch and the food speaks for itself. Recommend by a friend because they know I love dry hu thieu. The chilli is actually spicy. I packed my bowl with the pickled garlic and burping up garlic breath the rest of the day but worth it!“

“great food - variety of food to enjoy“

“Great service and good vibes.“

“Tôi đã đến ăn 2 lần Ngon“

“very clean, staff is very nice, 100% recommend ! owner is also extremely kind and friendly :)“

“Always stop by here when I'm down visiting family. Its spacious, the services is always fantastic here. The food is delicious. Sure it's not exaggerating portions like I'm used to but the food ia good none the less. simple, delicious and flavorful.“

“Bánh canh cua chua giống lắm“

“This place is my go-to spot for Korean food, especially 아구찜, 은대구조림, and 닭갈비. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is consistently delicious. Every time our family eats here, we leave happy with both the quality of the food and the value for what we paid.

FYI, the owner sometimes closes the restaurant due to personal reasons, so it’s a good idea to check that they’re open before heading out.“

“The restaurant was clean and very nicely decorated on the inside. The staff was cheerful and upbeat. Ordering was easy. My order was ready after a short wait, as I opted for to-go. I consider myself a Pho lover, and I know good pho from bad pho. This place serves great pho!
The broth was really good; super proper, not overwhelming in any way, but extremely pleasant and enjoyable. I could not detect any MSG. The portion of rare beef with one of the bowls of pho was HUGE. Super fresh and lean thin slices. The noodles were also really good, only moistened enough to stay al-dente when in the hot soup. My daughter also loved her grilled chicken pho. All in all, this was a very enjoyable bowl of soup. Super proper, I would highly recommend.“

“I highly recommend this Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Santa Ana, CA. My wife and I love this spot. The food, workers and cleanliness is on point. I recommend this Mexican Restaurant in Santa Ana to anyone. 💯“
