The is was our second trip to NEP and was as good as the first! Both the shrimp salad app and the squid and mango salad were so well balanced and tasty. The garlic noodles and shaking beef were sooo good. Nothing was too spicy but really flavorful. The shaking beef was so good we ordered another one! The cocktail that night was a raspberry sour and too was perfectly prepared. For a casual restaurant, these guys really put out the effort. Oh, and the sticky rice/mango desert was the topper. Not too sweet and the mango was perfect! Will be back sooner than later. Well done NEP.

The food, cocktails, service and atmosphere were great. We had the shrimp salad which tasted very fresh and delicious . We also shared two noodle dishes - garlic noodles with crabmeat and one with seafood and linguine. Somewhat spicy but that's okay by me. Will definitely return when in the area again.

One of my favorite Kei Concept restaurants! Service is always quick and staff are friendly as well. My favorite dish is the Seafood Tom Kha Pasta but the Garlic Noodles are always good too! Also tried the Cookie Butter Latte and it was sooo yummy, 10/10 would recommend if you love Biscoff cookies!

The food is always on point, this was my first time at the Irvine location. Delicious and reasonably priced

Amazing! Usually went to the fountain valley location and loved it so wanted to try this one out. Had reservations and was sat on time. Server she was amazing. I forgot her name unfortunately. But she was on top of it! So attentive, super nice, was going through her sent orders to make sure everything was out on time. Even when I paid she helped us out with something she didn't need to so that was amazing. Heads up, food comes as soon as it's made which is good. I know some people expect all the food comes at once but they like to serve as soon as it's made so you get the full taste and experience. Coming back all the time.

Amazing upscale Vietnamese food. Deducting a star for slow service both times I went. Once we ordered food came out quickly, but ordering took quite a while and drinks were super delayed twice.
I love this place & have become a regular. The banana pudding ice cream is a MUST. One thing is, if you want MORE food selection, you need to go AFTER 5pm which is the dinner menu. Before 5pm, it is a limited lunch menu. Be aware of that. Good thing is, the banana pudding is on both lunch & dinner menu. Lol 😂 😆

We've been a few times and each time the food is excellent. Most recently tried their rotisserie chicken congee and was pleasantly surprised by how large it was - easily serves 3-4. Everything we have ordered tastes great. Coffee is excellent too - get there before 3p if you want to try it.

Nep offers a fantastic contemporary take on Vietnamese cuisine. The dishes were excellent and very well-executed. I was also really impressed by their selection of flavored Vietnamese coffees—they are unique and delicious! The only downside was our waiter, who wasn't very friendly or welcoming. Great food, but the service could definitely use some improvement

Love it! It was delicious! I would recommend happy hour because we got 4 dishes for $50. 10/10 I would go again.
The flavors were amazing! Tried the curry crab omelette and mango sticky rice! Will definitely return and try their other dishes.
