“began my culinary journey with a delightful skewer, but the star of the show was undoubtedly the sashimi plate. The freshness of the sashimi was striking, and each piece of yellowtail was a burst of flavor. What truly elevated the experience was the special wasabi sauce that adorned the sashimi, adding a delightful kick to every bite.Moving on to the yaki dishes, they were a perfect harmony of sweet and salty flavors. Each ingredient was tender, almost melting in my mouth like butter. The balance achieved in these dishes was commendable, making for a truly satisfying dining experience“
“Spring roll peanut sauce was pleasant. The brisket used in the pho can almost become a tender meal on it's own. Different from other pho restaurants. No MSG headaches. Clean big pieces of meat, soft silky noodles, steamed bean sprouts to prevent soup from cooling too quickly. The only complaint is the hard seats in the booth. You'll know what I mean.“
“Hidden gem for Thai food. Chicken, shrimp, and pork is on point with its flavors. The beef’s texture is a miss, and could be better. Always good to see that it is busy with customers bc the food speaks for itself. The open kitchen shows how clean the restaurant is.“
“I ordered the Garlic Edamame, Double Crunchy Roll, and Mango Tango. Absolutely everything was delicious. It’s a nice little mom and pop restaurant that you cannot pass up. This was probably one of the best sushi spots I’ve tried in a while!“
“Second visit in a week.Hands down the best pho I have ever had. I believe that they use real bone broth (not the powder), so I can tase the umami, didn’t even have to put any garnish in the pho.Also, the fish sauce fry is a must try, can’t find it elsewhere.“
“My husband and I had the oxtail pho and oxtail fried rice with grilled ribeye on the side and everything was amazingly very tasty. Definitely coming back to try more on the menu. Service was excellent and staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking isn't a problem. This place definitely is keeper.“
“We went for dinner on the earlier side with four adults and four kids. It was delicious! The staff were kind and accommodating. We got the rice bowl, noodle bowl both with ground pork, my brother got the Taiwanese beef bowl and he loved it. The kids liked the plain noodles, and it's nice you can add sides like egg and bok choy. The pot stickers are nice too. Everyone enjoyed the food! Really good and would love to go back soon.“
“It was my first time coming here and let me tell you it's amazing. The portions are good and the service and atmosphere is super friendly. Such nice people helping you out. I would definitely be coming back here again. Their thai tea is a must to get!“
“If you like ramen, this place is fantastic with red and white miso broth options. The spicy tao paste is over the top spicy so be careful. The service is traditionally awesome. The atmosphere is also traditional Japanese decor with matching music. However, the outdoor seating is a couple of folding tables pushed up against the window 3 feet from the parking lot.“
“I love this place. I've been going since I was a little kid (that was 20+ years ago). The staff and service is always so friendly and attentive. I love their Bún Chả Giò Chay. It's my regular order! They have a solid selection of Vegan Vietnamese food and very affordable prices. If you're looking for real Vietnamese Vegan food, this is the spot!“
“My family visited this restaurant over vacation and had our best meal of the trip here. We met the owner, Nancy, who was so incredibly sweet, was helpful in explaining menu items-- even pointing out that we had ordered two soups and perhaps to take one item off unless we felt we needed more soup after. My boyfriend also really enjoys learning new languages and she gladly taught him mandarin words during dinner :).“
“The noodle dishes were very good! We had a largish group, so we tried the first three soups on the menu and a couple of the dry noodle dishes, which were all Delicious. The chicken skewers were all bone and not worth the trouble of eating. The lamb skewers were tasty but greasy. I liked the cumin-heavy seasoning a lot.“
“Had dinner with my daughter we had the Tonkotsu Shoyu and Tonkotsu Black ramen which did not disappoint. Great service as we didn't have to wait to be seated or for our food. Definitely coming back to try the ribs with the ramen next time.“
“Very quick service and great tasting pho I got the beef and mom got the chicken. Both of us were satisfied with the overall experience. Would recommend this place to people who like pho with no msg. More authentic than places I've been since covid “

“Had a good time hanging out with my friends. Self-service picking ingredients: vegetables, meat, fish balls, shrimps, noodles, tofu, etc. You pay per pound. I feel good with a lot of varieties. After picking ingredients, you can choose soup from four different soup bases. They will cook and serve you in a big bowl. I love marinated chicken gizzards. I tried mild spicy original bone soup. Would love to try the same soup with medium spiciness and also tom yum soup.“
“Delicious ramen! The Chuka Soba was phenomenal. The broth was perfectly balanced. Not too bland, not too rich. The inside is cozy and very chill. We sat at the bar to watch the cooks prepare the ramen.Gyoza was also perfect, the sauce was also quite excellent. Really enjoyed the variety of the music being played as well.“
“Denny is enough of a reason to go here as any! Great service and he's someone who clearly cares about his customers (checking in with everyone and even helping someone retrieve their phone from an Uber). The atmosphere was comfortable - not fancy, but homey. I'm veg, so not the best judge of the food (I heard the beef soup noodles were great), but I enjoyed the food as well.“
“Ordered the non-spicy beef noodle soup (hand-cut) and added my own level of heat. Nice broth. Wish I had seen their cold drinks lineup before getting my green tea order from the bakery. Will try their milk green tea next time along with some other dishes (lamb, cold noodles).Nice sitting area shared with the hot deli. Reasonable prices and solid portions. The lady that took my order is nice & served the food to my table. Unexpected and much appreciated!“
“This is my go to spot for pho just smelling the aromatic broth when they bring your food awakens the senses ( yeah I just wrote that) but really I've gone to probably 9 other places on bolsa in Westminster also 4 other pho restaurants in surrounding cities nothing compares. They have a couple other menu items but the Pho is why you come here, I like to take my son here they're open late until 1:30 a.m., It's always clean and the staff are nice. My personal recommendation is the Pho combination with no meat ball or tripe substitute extra tendons and add a beef rib or the ox tail pho.Lastly, Price is about $20 with a can of coke“
“Very interesting place , the food is top notch , they served you super well portions and the flavor is super , the lady that welcomes you is a character in a good way , is super nice and attentive, but with a little hyper crazy personality... their only fault is place needs to be a little more organized as you can see boxes and tables for storage and plain view ... but overall a good place ... that tea wasn't that good either ( super hot be careful)“
“Walked in on a Saturday night - it wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. We ordered the Choose 3 Combination (M), Kimchi Cold Noodle, and Beef Tartare. Service was fast and the staff were great! The Kimchi Cold Noodle was super refreshing and cuts the fattiness of the intestine. The beef tartare was also very fresh and a generous portion. There were only 2 of us so we had a lot of leftovers to take home haha. A solid gobchang spot!“
“After having some ok Beef Noodle Soup in Lomita, I had to come to No 1 Noodle House to do it justice. I ordered Beef & Tendon Noodle Soup with an extra side of pickled cabbage. It is so tasty. Spice is nice. Everytime I come here it just hits the spot.“
“Many options. If you're looking for a japanese restaurant, I would highly encourage this place. Has rice bowls, bento, ramen, kids menu, and lots of sushi choices. The workers are very nice and positive. They have an age range of young to old, which can show authenticity. I personally went when it wasn't rush hour so food came out fast. Waiter checked up frequently to check on you if you need anything. All in all, I would definitely go back if im feeling of eating japanese food.“
“Hainan chicken is alright not bad, but taste more like some hong kong style chickenThe beef noodle soup( with the white soft noodle) is actually really good! The spicness is also perfect, the soup can also feel the light beef broth and the noodle blend well with it, def a hidden gem.“
“As a Taiwanese in California there’s not a lot of really “good authentic” restaurants, but I’ve lived I. Rowland heights for so many years now and this is by far my favorite stinky tofu restaurant ever and they have amazing service, super kind staff, you can sit outside or inside! Super great and love the food!“
“Finally got to try Fennel Bistro during my lunch work hours and it was very satisfying. The meats were cooked deliciously and the flavors were spot on. The clay rice was crispy and well flavored. The meat to rice ratio was perfect for my preference. The place is simplistic and clean. Random, but it was fun to see the steam rise from the clay pots every so often inside, and it feels like a huge humidifier. No issues at all with the service, our waitress was very kind to explain how to pick out and order the clay pot combos.“
“Food was delicious pho tasted fresh meats were good spring rolls and peanut sauce were very tasty poor man was working all by himself it was very busy Vietnamese coffee was delicious would definitely go back and support this business ?“
“Yummy soup! Perfect place to go on a cold day.My girlfriend and I stopped here yesterday for some lunch. As busy and full as the parking lot was, this restaurant was nearly empty with only 3 parties in there around lunch time! It seems like most of the people that were parked there went to get dim sum, AYCE sushi, or Korean BBQ.We knew what we wanted to order (we normally order the same thing everywhere). We ordered A2. Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls, I got P2. Rare Steak, and she got P1. Flavor Pho Combination.The results:- A2. Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls: They come in a pair with each cut in half. Accompanied by the usual sauce with peanuts in it. It tasted refreshing and was pretty good.- P2. Rare Steak: I feel like most people order this as it's simple and good. The soup was delicious. I ordered an extra side of rare steak for more protein :). Good soup!- P1. Flavor Pho Combination: My girlfriend said it was really good and she finished a large bowl plus the spring rolls! That says a lot.Service was good. The man who greeted us and helped us out was always smiling and cheerful. We sat ourselves and was helped immediately.Parking was a little bit of a pain since it was packed due to the other restaurants in the plaza. There's only a few spots in the front of the restaurant, and unfortunately two of the spots in front are for curbside pickup for AT&T (what the heck!).I recommend this pho place if you're in the area!“
“The food here is always incredible and has to be my favorite Ramen spot by far. I always get the chashu ramen in mild with an egg. So bomb I swear I am salivating at the mouth just thinking about it. My favorite ramen. Always drink the broth, that's the best part!! It's so packed with flavor. I can't get enough and even when you take it home to reheat it, it tastes just as flavorful. You get bomb ramen for a great price. The ambience is chill and relaxing. I love the amount of outdoor lighting it gets. I also love the barstool setup it feels so chill. The service is always excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful, not like some cold restaurants where you feel unwelcome.“
“Green onion pancakes are crispy, flaky, and fragrant. Dry crispy pork spare ribs with spices, amped up with chopped garlic and jalapenos. My favorite every time mala spicy prime beef noodle soup, tasty sauté of mushroom medly with Chinese celery - a perfect accompaniment to spicy dishes and their house specialSpicy noodles for those of us who like it hot! I'm so glad they have good service and consistently delicious dishes!“
“We had a great time here at this restaurant. All the dishes were delicious, but the chicken wings were the best. The sea cream taro milk tea was good. I ordered 25% sweetness, but it was pretty sweet for us. Overall, it was a good experience. We will definitely come back to try other dishes.“
“Highly recommend Happy Morning. Met a couple of friends here for a nice family style dinner. The service was very quick and staff was very kind and welcoming. The place is tucked in a corner of the Vons plaza by Rite Aid, on the other end of the plaza to other eateries, popping yolk, four seas, boiling point. The food was nicely portioned, perfect for family style and everything was fresh and very delicious. The decor was modern and very clean. 5 adults and 2 toddlers left very full and satisfied with left overs to boot. We tried a variety of veggie, noodle soup, fried rice, half chicken and everything tasted great. Growing up in San Gabriel/alhambra this place reminded me of the spots I grew up eating at, now I have a great food spot not far from the house. Can't wait to come back!“
“First time and decided for takeout, as there's not much room for eating. The menu was pretty big with sandwiches "Banhmi", Pho, BBQ with rice and Chowmien, so worried that the food was going to be mediocre - BUT surprise that the 3 different dishes we ordered and egg rolls was just yum. We'll be ordering again.“
“This unassuming restaurant in the entrance of a supermarket is a hidden gem. Found it looking for Bo Luc Lac in the LA area and found it via Instagram review than made me want to drive all the way from Long Beach and I was not disappointed, as they serve one of the better Luc Lac, tender and well balanced on sauce and pepper. Their medium is more well done than medium so adapt your request based on that.The rest of the dishes are also very well executed, fresh and flavorful. The service is efficient and friendly while attentive.Well worth a trip if you Are not close, you will not be disappointed.Parking: Parking is busy“
“My husband and I have been looking for a good ramen place and we found this restaurant. We both ordered tonkotsu ramen and a sushi to share, and everything was delicious. The server was so nice and attentive. This restaurant became our favorite place we will definitely come back soon!Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs“
“Situated inside of 168 Chinese supermarkets with its own set of clean seats and tables. The stir fried thin rice noodles were good, as were the fried stuffed tofu. This is a good place to taste some basic Indonesian dishes besides nasi gorings.“
“My first time here trying their food. Since I don’t eat too spicy, so I ordered the non spicy dishes. The fish head and tofu soup was very delicious and full of flavor, but of course lots of bones. Just need to be careful when serving the fish with young kids and seniors. The Yeung Chow fried rice had lots of shrimps, but no BBQ pork. It’s a little bit oily, but tasted good. Maybe I will ask for less oil if I order any fried rice dishes.“
“This take out place has huge potential to grow. Ordered the pork belly rice box and it was ono. Like that onions and bell peppers were stir-fried with the pork belly sauce and poured over white rice. Really added great flavor to this dish. Also like the kim chee in separate container so uneated portion can be refrigerated. Love Kim chee and theirs were just right not too spicy. Its a shame their hours are limited but all the reason to stop by when they are open. Will be returning to try the other Korean dishes.“
“How rare is it to find authentic xi’an noodles? Very. We read the review on LA times about this place and popped over to try today. Loved every bite of the cumin lamb noodle, Liang pi, pork burger and more. It is hard to find authentic mum&pop place these days, so happy wen hui exists. We will be back,“
“We have been coming here for years and it has never changed. Been just as great and the first visit. Every item on the menu is good and the portions are big. This is a must visit and try new items on the menu until you have found your favorite.“
“Stopped by their pop up at my Paramount Apartment and got this awesome little combo for 14$ with a drink. Food is really good, never had Indonesian but I like it. The textures in the noodles are delicious and there's little sides of fermented veggies, crispy garlic, and a spicy little chilli. All the flavors are good and there's a great portion size. I think the noodles have so much flavor I forgot there was yummy bits of chicken. Will visit their in store restaurant next for lumpia!“
“This review has to be pure FIRE!!! That honor goes to Fusion Corner, which is one of the OC's (kinda) newest hot spots. Trust me when I say you do NOT want to miss out on this place!I went in with a bunch of foodie friends to try out some of their Asian fusion cuisine, and every single dish was off the hook! Everything they post on their social media is exactly what you get. This place has a casual vibe, and it's a great place for family and friends to gather.We started off with the Fried Roe Fish Balls and Popcorn Chicken. The fish balls came out hot and fresh, and they were slightly crispy on the outside with the soft texture you'd expect on the inside. The chicken was really good, crispy, and not greasy at all. I liked the dipping sauces they both came with, too. Next up was their famous Lomo Saltado Fries. O M G!!! This had me salivating when I saw it from afar before they even set it down on the table. The shaken beef on top of those perfectly fried, crisp fries was a party in my mouth all by itself!The final dish was the Back-Rib Pho, which has got to be the sexiest, beefiest bowl of pho to have ever hit my palate! I mean.. do you see those humongous beef ribs?! We had so much food left over AFTER we tasted everything. We each got to pack a doggy bag when we couldn't finish it all. You already know my motto: "Don't waste!!" LOL!To wash it all down, we had Thai Milk Tea (comes caffeinated or not, your choice), and the Lychee Rose Tea. I had the latter, and I loved every last drop of it. They even garnish the top to make it pretty, and I love pretty drinks!Parking was not the greatest, as it is extremely limited next to an apartment complex. I parked in the Wendy's lot next door (oopsie, lol). Prices here are very reasonable!! The employees are super friendly and answered any questions we had.I highly recommend Fusion Corner if you have an insatiable appetite but also want to keep your wallet happy. The best part is these guys are open late late, like 1 am late! Don't waste another minute. Make your way to Fusion Corner NOW!!! ;)“
“Alex was amazing, great service small hole in the wall how ever the Quality of the food is better than some huge sushi places. I would definitely be coming here and making this of our main stops after services on Sunday. Thank you Toyo sushi& roll Great place to come have lunch after “
“Great spot for Korean casual / comfort food! For a party of 7, we were left feeling satisfied with the amount of food we ordered. Very affordable and amazing service! We got seated instantly as it wasn't busy on a Saturday night. What we ordered: - 2 steamed pork belly set (bossam) - 1 seafood pancake - sides of rice to carb up - 1 terra & 2 jinro is back to drink! The highlight of our meal was actually the sides. The kimchi and radish kimchi were so good that we asked for multiple refills. We also enjoyed the seafood pancake. Would love to come back and try the soup (tang) as the restaurant name speaks for itself!!“
“The pho is about as good as you can get, it was the best pho I’ve had in a while. The Passion Fruit drink is refreshing and appears to be handcrafted, with the pulpy seeds and all, and was perfectly sweet even without an add-on. As a drink, it reminds me of 7Leaves’ sunset passion or peach teas, which also have a sweet, fresh fruit taste. The food has been consistently good, though prices are on the higher side but unfortunately are actually the going rate in 2024. Fast service“
“2nd time here. The tendon is not chewy at all. Soft and flavorful. The broth has great flavor too. I have had great service both times. I think this is my new favorite spot.I do wish they would give 2 containers for the togo though. I have to ask for 2. Saving soup with everything together is not my favorite“
“The atmosphere is mature, relaxed and familiar almost like you were relaxing at home or at a grandmothers house before a holiday dinner or summer lunch. It's pleasant to say the least. And it's not pretending to be something it isn't. It is comfortable in its own skin. And the food is a fresh reminder that all who wonder aren't lost, that different is needed and in many ways the progression and change we need in life ? my recommendations would honestly be anything on the menu but my "gotos" are any variety of "Pad see Ew" and "Pad Thai" the yellow curry as well every time I order these three without question.“
“This is the best noodle place in Long Beach. They have the best spring rolls I’ve ever ate(they are HUGE) and are extremely delicious. The sauce is the cherry on top. My go to dish is the #24 new ka tang. The juicy chicken paired with the savory noodles is just so yummy?? I love iced tea so with the drink I choose the Thai iced tea. It’s a classic. There is also a choice of combodian noodles and viatnamese pho. If you were to get that, I would recommend the seaphood or the beef steak.“
“Some of my favorite yellow curry and pad thai around! I always get the peanut sauce to add to my noodles. They always remember to fry the tofu when I put it in the description. I usually doordash but I walked in the other day and it was so nice inside! My only wish would be to have a little more rice come with the curry.“
“Everything was very delicious!! We ordered their pho, egg rolls, and shrimp spring rolls. I had the rib eye pho and the broth tasted deep and flavorful. The spring roll was filling and tasted very fresh. The egg rolls were plentiful and came with veggies to wrap and dip.The owner of the restaurant is very sweet and provided exceptional service!Overall very pleased with this place and definitely recommend!“
