“Pho here is great with good beef selection. Little more pricy vit you'll get good cut of beef. Specially rare. Only down side is when order to g, they are skimpy on the meet side even though I ordered size large . And it did comes with any dip sauce.“

“The place is super small and can get very busy so don't go here if you are not ready to wait. But it is worth the wait!
Not ideal for parties larger than 4. Prob best for parties of 2.
The udon is super consistent with their other location OkiDoki in Tustin. Such amazingly good udon and flavorful broth.
We went on Aug 4th and starting today, and only on Tues and Wed nights for dinner they serve 10 portions of Prime Beef and Garlic Udon. SO GOOD. So worth the price tag and wait. We even took the broth home lol.
Didn't get other apps or udon but I'm sure it is all good because the udon was so amazing.“

“My wife and I stopped by here while staying in Santa Ana. The young man behind the counter was super helpful And knowledgeable. He helped us navigate and find some truly delicious authentic dishes. Based on the clientele already seated there was no doubt it was authentic Chinese regional cuisine. Absolutely would go back when I’m back in California. Delicious!“

As for dessert, you also get free chè đậu xanh(mung bean sweet dessert) I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely come back again and again. Thank you Linh for your kind service ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆“

“I cannot believe I have been eating here for five years ever since I first moved to the US. I have tried many pho places, but I still love the flavor here the meat is tender, and the broth and everything blend together in such a harmonious way. Everyone on the recycletattoo team eats here and often orders takeout for our American and Mexican tattoo clients to introduce them to what Northern Vietnamese pho tastes like. The only downside is that this long standing restaurant hasn't upgraded its space, and the herbs are a bit too wet when served, which can make it a bit difficult to invite clients over to dine in. Still, I love the taste here and hope for some improvements so we can send even more clients from our tattoo shop over.“

“I was having serious udon craving today, so I had to hit up Marugame Udon. Waited about 10 minutes, then grabbed a large Nikutama hot udon. As you move down the line, there’s freshly made tempura calling your name 😂—I grabbed the egg, sweet potato, shrimp, and a few others. Then hit the self-serve toppings for scallions and more. First bite… BOOM! Deep, flavorful broth, thin-sliced beef, and those perfectly chewy noodles. Loved it! The tempura was crispy, crunchy, and tasty, especially the egg—fluffy inside, crispy outside. Super satisfying meal, and the best part? I got to walk around the mall afterward and pretend I was burning off all those calories. 😂🔥“

“We didn't take advantage of the BOGO deal, but should have! The food was fresh and fast, yummy! My friend said the pho broth definitely tasted different from other pho places he has had, had more depth of flavor and umami. He said made his top three! Salted coffee was strong and delicious, not for the faint of heart. Will definitely try the BOGO deal next time I'm in town!“

“KJB Pho & Egg Rolls is a small, unassuming Vietnamese cafe on Newport Boulevard that has quietly become one of our regular lunch spots.
The dinning room is simple, but there’s a warmth to it. The owner and her staff always greet you with a smile, and that same sense of care seems to carry into the food. Ingredients are noticeably fresh, portions are generous, and even familiar dishes feel a little more considered here.
I’ve worked my way through the pho, flat noodles and several of the banh mi. The barbecue pork sandwich is the one I keep coming back to: a substantial French roll, fresh ingredients and consistently good pork.
There’s a steady stream of takeout during lunch and dinner, and depending on the day, sometimes we grab ours to go and sometimes we stay. Either way, this is one of those small neighborhood restaurants where being welcomed genuinely adds something to the experience.
It’s also remarkably easy to get to right off Newport Boulevard, with plenty of parking whenever we’ve been there. If you’re in a rush they are quick to serve you as well. It’s an easy recommendation if you’re looking for Vietnamese food in Costa Mesa or Newport.“

“Love the Lao Papaya Salad, Chinese Broccoli with crispy Pork Belly and mango with sticky rice. The young coconut juice in coconut is so refreshing and the meat is still on it and edible! Staff are friendly and bathroom, although one at a time, is clean and well maintained. Will definitely come back and try other things on the menu.“

“This is a hidden gem, let me tell you. I almost turned around because of the unpleasant environment outside, but once you pass that door, you’re transported into a completely different world.
The food was not only fresh but also incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this place. I suggest asking the chef to surprise you with a dish; he knows what’s best. I’ll definitely be coming back when I fly into town.“

“Omg if I could give this place 10 stars I would. The environment is very welcoming. Classy and elegant but not too much where you feel underdressed. The food is so good!!! We had the chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and the pork soup bao. The rice was flavorful and fluffy with the right amount of fresh cut chicken. The sweet and sour chicken had that classic crunch with the perfect amount of sweetness. Just enough sweet and sour sauce to not overwhelm your mouth. The pork soup bao was amazing. When you put it in your mouth the bao burst with the soup and the flavors of pork and the right amount of broth.
Also I note that we have a small child not only did they give him his own sweet and sour chicken FOR FREE, but also gave him his own small children’s silverware.
The staff was on top of anything we needed and that wasn’t much. They made sure to cater to every need even the needs we didn’t know we needed.
Highly recommend! This place honestly should be in a tour guide or magazine. Like seriously so good!“

“We got tangsuyook and jjajangmyun. To be honest, I didn't expect too much of tangsuyook, but from my first bite, it was really really good. I would definitely go back for that. Jjajang wasnt impressive, not too bad. I just couldn't eat spicy food that day so couldnt try jjampong.
The lady working in the front is very pleasant, and she went around passing around aprons to people wearing light colored clothes!“

“Total hidden gem honestly kinda glad it hasn't blown up yet but I want them to stick around so I'm leaving an honest review.
Their sushi is amazing clean enough that I trust feeding my wife her salmon and scallop sushi cravings from this spot.
By far though the must try item is their jumbo Scallop it is soooooo gooood.
They have an all you can eat menu but I lay extra to order more of that scallop.
I also just found out they started a new promotion, free roll with x amount spent for example $20 gets you a California roll and $30 gets you a crunchy roll and 2 more tiers.
The sushi chef was so nice he snuck in an extra salmon sushi in my togo order today I hear he was the original shop owner, sold it went to japan to work more in the industry and came back and bought it back, or something along those lines from other people's reviews. May or may not be true but doesn't an amazing hole in the wall deserve that kind of romantic story?
Sorry no pics we ate them all so fast because it was sooooooooooo goooooooooooooood!“
“Tried this place for their lunch special the other day with a friend and we were blown away at how good it was. Standard dishes like Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were next level compared to other Thai places in taste and freshness. So if the easy dishes are that good - rest of the food must be incredible. Will definitely be coming here frequently!“

“Another good thai place in the locality. The drunken fried rice was pretty good, had great flavor, wonderful taste and delicious. The khao soi which we ordered was good too, but the consistency of it was way too thick than expected, and it was more towards on the sweeter side of the taste, even thought we ordered it as spicy . The quantity looked a small too for the price. However there are other menu items which look interesting and can't wait to explore other items.“

“Mian at South Coast Plaza is one of the best places I've tried for Chinese noodles and comfort food. We ordered a variety of dishes, and overall everything was well prepared with generous portions and fresh ingredients.
My favorite was definitely the Pork & Shrimp Pan-Fried Dumplings. The filling was packed with juicy pork and shrimp, and the crispy golden bottom gave it the perfect texture. This is a must-order.
The Beef Roll Pancake is another dish I highly recommend. The beef was tender, the pancake was soft and flaky instead of chewy, and everything came together really well.
The Chili Oil Dumplings were good, with a balanced flavor and mild level of spice. They weren't particularly memorable, but still enjoyable.
For noodles, the Spicy Spareribs Noodle had a flavorful broth with a satisfying level of heat. If you enjoy spicy noodle dishes, this is a solid choice.
The Clean Broth Beef Noodle was excellent. The broth tasted light, clean, and refreshing, allowing the natural beef flavor to shine. The noodles were cooked perfectly with a nice bite, and the beef slices were large and surprisingly tender.
The Chengdu Fried Rice was another pleasant surprise. The seasoning is on the lighter side, but that's exactly why I liked it—it wasn't overly salty, no meat and the flavors of the egg, vegetables, and rice came through nicely. Recommended if you're looking for a comforting fried rice.
The Beef Ribs were very tender, meaty, and rich in flavor. Definitely worth ordering if you're sharing with a group.
The Green Onion Pancake was fragrant, crispy on the outside, and not hard or overly greasy, making it a great side dish.
The Pork Intestine was well prepared with a good texture and no unpleasant smell, which is always important for this dish.
The Fried Chicken Cutlet was probably the least impressive item we ordered. It was decent and still enjoyable, but compared to everything else, it didn't stand out.
The restaurant itself was clean, service was fast, and all the staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our meal.
Overall, Mian is a great spot if you're craving authentic Chinese noodles, dumplings, and comforting Sichuan-style dishes. I would definitely come back, especially for the Pan-Fried Dumplings, Beef Roll Pancake, Clean Broth Beef Noodle, and Beef Ribs. Highly recommended!“

“After visiting the OC/LA area, we're on the way back to the Bay Area, we wanted to have some lunch before we go. Some of the restaurant closed on Monday, one our friends recommended this place for real excellent egg noodles soups, so we stopped by, it's right next to PLT the big VN shopping center.
There's no parking for this restaurant, the whole block has a few parking spots and there's parking on the PLT but always full. We had to park outside on a different shopping center.
The restaurant is small and simple, clean. The owner or the care taker seems to be extremely friendly and attentive sitting us on a table.
The menu has quite a few dishes, but we're concentrating on egg noodle soup for lunch so we ordered the special bowl of rice noodles instead of egg noodles. It's quite good, quite tasty with chinese crispy donuts.
We had a great lunch and the price is extremely inexpensive. Ready to drive home.“

“I’ve tried both the dry and soup versions of the hu tieu here, and I enjoyed both. Each bowl comes with plenty of toppings like shrimp, pork , ground pork, fish cake, and quail eggs. You can also choose different types of noodles. The broth is light but flavorful, and if you order the dry version, the soup comes on the side.
The prices are very reasonable, and I think it’s a great value for what you get.
The restaurant is pretty small with only a few tables, but I’ve always been able to find parking even though the parking lot looks limited.
The only downside for me is the business hours. They close at 4:00 PM, which is just too early. I often get off work and want to stop by for dinner, but they’re already closed. Maybe they’re mainly focused on the lunch crowd, but hu tieu is something people enjoy any time of the day. I really wish they stayed open later.“

“We’re visiting from San Francisco and happened to find this restaurant by chance — what a great surprise! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the restaurant was very clean.
We especially loved the fish congee — the fish was super fresh, and you definitely have to get the Chinese fried dough (youtiao) to go with it! Their Dill tumeric sizzling fish was also AMAZING and definitely a must-try.
So glad we found this place. We’ll definitely come back whenever we’re in the area! ❤“

“One if the best Pho's in the area hands down. The broth is VERY hot which i love. Ive had the chicken, beef, and shrimp pho and all are consistenly good. The noodles are firmer than most places but it works well since the soup is very hot and the noodles don't turn to mush.“

“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 👩🏻🍳“
