“The best pork chop I have ever had! Great atmosphere and kind staffs too I will definitely visit again 👍🏼“

“The best vegan pho I’ve ever had.“

“I ordered for take out twice in two days. The tomato and brisket noodle soup was a bit sweet but tasty. I like that noodles were chewy just about the right texture. The brown sugar sticky rice dessert was crunchy on the outside and soft inside, which was great. I came back to order more food the second morning when it just opened. The cashier wasn’t there. The kitchen staff came to help me. They were friendly and apologetic and offered us water and extra food while we waited for our order. I liked popcorn chicken. The pan fried pork buns were juicy. Overall, the food and the experience were great. I’d come back to try more food.“

“Weekends are usually packed here so parking lot is always busy. Be patience and you can always find parking in the lot. Tonight they had someone filling the water for everyone. Food is always on point. Never had a bad experience. $40 for 2 of us. We got the spicy beef noodles soup with the flat noodles, 8 pieces of potstickers, cucumber salad, pickled mustard green and their marinated egg.“

“We have been going to Niko Niko for 10 years now. We love the restaurant and the community and the friends we made there I would definitely recommend this place, the food is amazing and the owners are very accommodating to the costumers needs. Love you Niko Niko family. My youngest daughter was so in love with their miso soup that they named an specific to go order with her name. “Christiana style”.“

“Hidden gem for Thai food. The quiet and nondescript building doesn't bear witness to the quality of food served.
Very genuine food and polite servers who aim to please.
We shared the Pad See-Ew with Pork and Yellow Curry with Chicken and rice. We also ordered the rare Mango Sticky Rice.
This is highly recommended but save room for dessert. The meals are hearty and the mango and sticky rice are plentious.
Service is excellent and helpful.
The atmosphere is very authentic with the ongoing elephant theme throughout.“

“One of the most authentic and yummy XLB places. The waitlist can be a bit long during peak hours, but their system takes care of it. Services are fine too, just sometimes a bit monotone as they are very focused on their tasks. Simple and clean environment while we can also buy togo frozen XLB to steam at home. All their greens and veggies dishes are wonderful!“

“Craving some udon while we were passing through the area so we decided to stop here for a quick early dinner on a weekend. It was quiet and service was quick.

Set up like a Chipotle and Subway. You order your main dish and you move along to customize it by adding tempuras (extra fee), vegetables (extra fee), green onions, or tempura flakes.

The udon soup base and noodles was good. The tempura batter on my shrimp tempuras was too thick and not light and flaky. I wanted to add vegetables to my udon and wish they were cooked first or cooked with my soup. Dumping uncooked vegetables into my soup just cooled everything down right away.

There was a lot of seating inside and on their large outdoor patio. The place was very clean.“

“Absolutely dee- lish! Would definitely go again.“

“The service here is so nice and fast. You can’t beat the lunch special deals! ($10-13 for entree with soup and salad) I love coming here for lunch, I want to try all their deals haha. If I didn’t make it for the lunch specials I would definitely try one of their specialty rolls!“

“This place was really good. We had a couple of the pork rice bowls and the portion of the meat was small. However, they ask you for your ID and card before you order (for context we say outside). The server said it was because we sat outside and wanted to avoid runners.
I would suggest maybe getting your customers to pay first if you are worried about that. I’m just a bit hesitant when I had to give my ID and credit card.“

“Very good food. Many choices on menu. Downside is they are very hard to get on phone. Also the hours they have posted online, even on this page, show “OPEN” Sunday, when we found out the hard way they are indeed NOT open. Please change your online presence to state correct days/hours. Including Yelp. This would be very helpful. Other than that, I give it “2 Thumbs up”.“

“after trying their location in south coast plaza, i had to try their irvine spectrum location!! luckily the hainan chicken rice and singaporean laksa weren’t sold out, and the hainan chicken rice was def the show-stealer. service was nice and the food was great!“

“kindness. Moved to Irvine from the San Gabriel area. In comparison, the food here is delicious and the price is very reasonable. It feels cheap and the food tastes delicious. Of course, it may be that I am too hungry. Overall, I am very satisfied with this meal. Good reviews. Will come again.“

“The spring rolls are definitely worth it. Very, very large and easily worth the price. The meatball pho was lacking. While the broth and ingredients were fresh and tasted good, slicing up just one meatball for it is a cheapskate move. You should be quartering at least 3 meatballs for it to make it worthwhile. Before you ask, yes I know those are beef tendon meatballs and I know where to get them and how much they cost.“

“Food is really good :) is well located and prices are reasonable for the area“

“I was invited to dine at Robata Wasa Irvine Spectrum. I came on a Saturday at 12PM/Lunch. We started with the spicy tuna crispy rice and yellowtail serrano signature sashimi - both incredibly delicious. The crispy rice had a good amount of spicy tuna on top, and we enjoyed both with a couple of mocktails. Next we ordered two specialty rolls, the hokkaido roll and surf and turf roll (which we were told would take some time to prepare - and we acknowledged that we were okay with this). The hokkaido roll came out first, it was delicious, then we were told the surf and turf would take a bit longer (20 minutes) as the chef needs to prep more for the roll. We ordered the Kureiji toro roll instead, when it came out we dug in, but noticed that there was a different flavor profile than we were expecting. There were ingredients inside the roll that did not match up with the description shown on the menu, so my friend inquired about it. We were told there were menu changes and there could be an error with the description. Sure enough the roll was the correct name, but made from completely different ingredients than listed - my friend ordered a california roll to supplement and keep the order simple. Overall, we enjoyed your visit, it's a gorgeous restaurant, the staff are very nice and welcoming, and everything tasted good and is plated nicely with the exception of the Keriji toro roll, which I we found to be slightly bitter due to the shishito pepper that is inside the roll - it looked to be charred on the outside but on the inside is still a little green/raw veggie, which is what caught my attention when I first tried it. I don't mind having to replace our item order or if there are mistakes/typos on the menu, but a) if the surf and turf roll we will need such an exorbitant amount of time to prepare, should keep it off the lunch menu or only provide during a specific time of day (as we were told the ingredients would need to be prepped to be ready for later in the day anyways (I am figuring for dinner time), it just wasn't ready for the time we were dining); and b) it seemed that it may already be a known that there was a typo or misprint on the menu, if that's the case the menu needs to be updated, a supplemental notice should be added or servers just mention what is actually in that particular sushi roll is not what's listed on the menu. As we ordered that roll because of the ingredients that were listed on the menu.“

“honestly its one of the best spots in town and i keep coming back like alot, service is quick even when its packed which is every time im here. the broth has that deep richness you cant find everywhere, definately tastes like they put in the work not just tossing a bouillon cube in water. i've probably been like 20 times easily and I still order the same thing because why fix what isnt broken. only thing that bugs me is the parking situation, tommorrow when you come be prepared to hunt for a spot or park way out.

but the noodles and the meat portions are always on point so thats what matters in the end. like I said four stars because I love it but that parking lot stress keeps it from being perfect for me“

“Delicious food! I highly recommend the filet mignon over fried rice. Excellent fried rice! Also, I am not usually into chicken nuggets but here they are extremely crunchy, juicy and the taste of the fried batter was addictive. Very casual basic atmosphere but do not be fooled!“

“A favorite restaurant for our friends and family. Food is always consistently good and the atmosphere is fun!!!“

“I love � fukada“

“Food is really good :) is well located and prices are reasonable for the area“

“Food is consistently great. Not many Thai restaurants have kanom jeen green curry on their menu. Kiddo and friends are particular about what they want in their food...thankful for their accomodation of omissions and additions and food still taste great 👍“

“I’d rate Soba Izakaya Minami one of south OC’s best izakaya. Their small portion (Japanese tapas) are delicious and served very fast. Don’t forget to order the Orion beer draft if you’re a beer lover!“

“Good authentic Chinese foods. We had sizzling seafood combo, house specials veggies (very fresh), sizzling beef very good, shrimps in lobster sauce. For 5 people is plenty. Services is fine. There's no wait time for seating at 4:20pm on Saturday.“

“Visiting for work from NYC for the week, needed a ramen fix.
Came across this spot on Google and it looked like exactly what I needed.. and after experiencing.. was truly IT. The Tonkotsu here is so creamy and delicious, wish I ordered 3 extra pieces of chashu instead of just 1, some of the best i've ever had.. ohh and the bamboo shoots and black garlic were such a great add.. Will 100% be back on my next work visit next month.. ALSO SHOUT THE TEAM HERE for all the recommendations, The Roobios tea was soo refreshing.“

“Great ramen rice noodles soup 🍜“

“One of my favorite places when I’m craving noodles or soup. Good food with big portions at a great price. I ate here last year and the service wasn’t very good and the place felt smaller, but when I visited this week, they’ve improved a lot. The two ladies serving were very friendly and attentive. The customer service was so much better this time, and I’ll definitely be back. I recommend ordering the wontons in chili sauce, braised pork with sticky brown sauce, and braised beef noodles everything was delicious. Totally worth it!“

“Fantastisk spisested. Kunne være fedt at have i Danmark �“

“Chicken pot thing was weird. Noodles were bomb!!!!!!“

“Amazing service and food quality, though I must admit some of the utensils seemed a little bit dirty when we walked in. And our evening was abruptly ruined by a rude customer throughout our time here, but nevertheless a great spot to eat Chinese food.“

“Best Tomo fried rice, smothered fries, and Ramen I've had since moving to south OC. And the staff is super friendly! I drive 15 to 20 minutes just to get their food.“

“Great authentic Hunan cuisine. Great value for price! Service is good too. Water was topped up before I asked - drank a few glass because the hotness of some dishes. We were asked by the waitress if food and everything else was good. Happy to leave them a good tip. Will definitely go again when in the area!“
