“Comfortable dining atmosphere with a great song playlist. The porkchops and stinky tofu dishes are fantastic. Moreover, the garlic sauce is authentically delicious. Ordering in-store had a long wait time, so it's better to order online or phone ahead. Staff is great.“
“If you’re looking for the BEST ramen in town, look no further. The food is absolutely amazing and beyond delicious ? the ambiance is super fast paced so if you’re looking for a chill or romantic place for a date and have a private conversation, this is not the right place for you, since the tables are very close together and it’s more like order, eat, and go place. But if you’re going for the food, this is the right placeVegetarian options: Vegetarian ramen is just as good“
“I really can't say enough about how good Kashiwa Ramen is; I love it so much I've eaten here several times in the last two weeks.This has to be one of the best ramen spots in OC currently. It originally started in Japan and came over to the States. In terms of quality, it definitely seems authentic.I've tried several items on the menu, and every time, it's delicious. I highly recommend dining in, but even if you order to go, or through doordash, it always comes piping hot and high quality.Today, I tried the Tsukumen, which is hard to find at other shops because it is a traditional dipping noodle where you dip it in the soup. I would highly recommend trying their tonkatsu ramen, although they also have other great items like smaller portion chashu rice bowls, which I swear the meat is so soft and tender. The chashu pork comes out great every time. The soft boiled egg is perfection. Both the straight and wavy noodles are wonderful. They also have a swirl broth, which is absolutely delicious; it's a mix of their pork and chicken broth together. They also have green tea, which tastes really crisp and fresh. They also have chicken if you don't eat pork.Overall, I really love Kashiwa and plan to continue frequenting it. The only critique I can give is that I wish the waitresses would check in on the tables at least once or twice every so often. Everyone is so kind and polite and the service is very fast. Dining by myself, i am in and out in under 30 minutes or so.Thank you so much for the wonderful meals, I plan to continue coming here in the future, and I hope more people come too.Vegetarian options: They do have tofu as protein for all ramen, miso ramen, sea kelp ramen, and other various side dishes like egg on rice.I would double-check with the waitresses to make sure the broth is 100% vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: If you do not eat pork, they have chicken as a protein topping as well.Parking: Big parking lot in a busy shopping center.Kid-friendliness: There are probably not a ton of options for kids, but if your kids are more adventurous, im sure they would enjoy it. I believe I've seen kids eating pretty plain ramen, just noodles and broth.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm pretty sure it's accessible to get in, but it is a small store and pretty tight. You may be able to fit your wheel chair at the counter if you ask.“
“Pho broth tastes great, portion is okay I'm not full after eating large. I've tried large brisket pho and chicken pho. One of the spoons still had food stuck on it...... After I put in all the veggies I noticed one slice is stale or bad jalapeno. I had to pray that God will protect me from getting sick... Imma take detox pill at home... Although I want to continue support business here I don't feel spending $22-23 after tip is really worth my money. Honestly this restaurant team need to try harder to gain more regular customers. I've eaten at so called best pho restaurants in OC and LA. Brisket pho was better than chicken though. However after experience today, I ain't coming back... I even tipped 25%... So yeah I'm not a difficult customer to satisfy. Goodluck Saigon Gem team, you guys have real potential but you guys need to listen to customers and make real lasting positive changes. I first gave 3 star but 4 stars is the maximum I can give. I'm being generous like how much I tip... Sauce bottle was sticky...“
“I love this restaurant when I am craving vegan food. I always order the Kung Pao Chicken. The food is very fresh and flavorful. I decided to try the soy chicken and vegetables and found it was almost the same as a Kung Pao Chicken, but I did not mind because it tastes so good! I highly recommend it if you are looking for a vegan restaurant.“
“You’ll appreciate this place if you like healthy version of Taiwanese food. My mom in her 70’s and other aunties all enjoyed the lighter flavor and the ingredients. Our favorite was the Blondie porridge with seafood. Instead of rice, they used oatmeal…which is high in dietary fiber and can lower cholesterol level. We also ordered the Asian truffle rice, that was yummy too especially with the Goji berries and kale. I will order even less salt next time. My kids absolutely enjoy the Matcha Azuki bean shake ice. I definitely would return and try other dishes.“
“This has become our local go-to Thai restaurant and we love recommending it to friends.They are always so welcoming to our family, great place to bring kids. We've never gone with more than 5 people, but they have a couple spots where I think you could do a larger group.Everything we've had has been good. Our go-tos are the beef pad see ew and the roasted duck curry.“
“I had the pho with rare beef slices and lean brisket. The noodles were a bit chewy for my liking and the meat was ok. My favorite part about the pho was the broth. I also had the garlic noodles with meat. The noodles tasted delicious but the meat had a weird after taste. Overall, the place was good. Def would recommend the garlic noodles.“
“This has been on my list forever and I decided last minute while i was off my diet to come here. It's a very small place and it got crowded real quick. Definitely come here early cuz you'll have to wait for a table. I did remember that you can't adjust the spiciness to your bowl so be aware if you're sensitive to the heat. I got the Deluxe and it was everything I imagined it to be. They gave a cute mini ball of rice at the end to soak up the leftover yummy sauce. I took the rest home, the bowl is very heavy and I just couldn't finish it but it's okay because I looked forward to eating it the next day.“
“I love the food and service here. I like the Katsu Curry more than the Shabu Shabu one since it's more savory. The salad with salmon skin is also amazing and it is a good appetizer. I also ordered the Assorted Tempura but I don't really recommend it since it will be a bit too much to eat all the sides and finish your bowl, unless you go as a group because I struggled to finish my bowl after all the tempura filling my stomach and, you know, fried food fill it quick.Overall, probably the best Udon place I ever tried in OC.“
“Food is good and flavorful, and it was ready in 5 minutes.However I find the portion a bit too small for the price, at least for the house special boat noodle which is about 18 dollars. It had quite a lot of meat but the amount of noodles was quite small and I wasn't able to be full.“
“Stopping by for a late lunch early dinner with my hubby during their happy hour. What a steal from the happy hour deal for dinning in! Our total came out to be around only $32 before tip with 2 bowls of trio shrimp noodle, extra egg topping, braised tofu appetizer and a hot tea. Take out is still regular price though. The bowl size is a very good portion, actually a bit big for me. I could only finished half of it. I had the tossed noodle and hubby got the broth one. Although the tossed noodle has good flavor, I have to say I prefer the broth one better. I can taste the flavors of the shrimp peels being roasted before shimmered into the broth, so much depth and richness. Now I know which one to get next time. Will definitely come back again to try other dishes and bring my boys along as well.“
“This is a great little place. As soon as you walk you are greeted by a staff member, usually they're come from the kitchen because they seem to constantly be running food out to the tables.They typical Pho Soup w chicken is pretty good, and I would highly recommend the extra spare ribs! They are amazing!. Now back to the soup, like most places, the deep flavor comes from the sauces, bean sprouts,mint and of course jalapeños!.The tables are clean, and the utensils are bountiful with a tin on each table with chopsticks and such. This is a great place.“
“I’ve lived in San Francisco for years. So, I know Pho! And, tbc it takes a ton for myself to feel motivated enough to even consider offering up any kind of review. This place is on par with all the high end Asian cuisine restaurants you can find in the OC. Broth tasty. Meat lean and tender. The server was friendly and consistent. And, with a trendy, up beat atmosphere, that invites you in, too. Chloe took care of me like I was fam as a first timer. I do value great service. And, the cooks (wud up, Matt!!) know how to throw it down. Go here if you’re looking for a satiable dish, and you’ll be happy that you came.Vegetarian options: Superb option.“
“I tried the pork XLB (9 pieces for $9.99) and the chive and pork dumplings (12 pieces for $10.99). The XLB were delicious! The skin was thin, and the pork was so flavorful (maybe a little on the salty side though). There was some juice inside, although I would have loved more juice! The chive and pork dumplings were just ok. It’s a no-frills kind of restaurant“

“Had about 35 min before class to grab a quick bite to eat and ended here at a warm, Pho restaurant. rainy days call for a delicious bowl of Pho. Staff were extremely friendly and helped me put together a delightful dish!So excited that this place is literally 1 min drive from my school ?Rating: 8.7/10Kid-friendliness: Ask your server about options for the little ones!“
“Ah, this spot is a nice little green oasis in the concrete jungle of Orange County. Great spot to relax and sit amongst the tendrils of vines. They even have some neat art books to peruse on shelves next to the bathroom. As for food, hubs and I split a pho banh mi, French dip style + some egg rolls. He got a Vietnamese iced coffee and I had the iced jasmine tea. All delicious, all decently priced. Good spot to go to without having to go to Westminster. I'm always finding fusion restaurants dubious, but this one did a great job of honoring Vietnamese food while making subtle twists.“
“Food: we ordered the combo nangmyeon + galbi for $30 and the jjajangmyun for $15. Both were absolutely scrumptious! The galbi was fatty if you like that. The moon nangmyeon comes with quite a large dollop of spicy sauce so if you don’t tolerate spice well like me, as for that to be excluded in advance.Service: there were two lady servers who were both very helpful and pleasant. They helped guide our selection.Atmosphere: the facilities were clean and pleasant.“
“Kyodong Noodles is a gem in the food court, offering superb noodles in a clean, inviting space. The noodles are flavorful and cooked to perfection, catering to all tastes with options like ramen, udon, and soba. Despite difficulties hearing order numbers in the bustling environment, the dining experience is unforgettable. While prices may seem a bit high for a food court, the quality justifies it. Overall, Kyodong Noodles is a must-visit for noodle lovers seeking a satisfying meal.“
“They have all the classics and favorite dishes here. My kids love the pho and enjoyed the fried rice as well. The aromas are so fresh and exquisite. Service is always excellent and the fact that this place gets a lot of foot traffic means their ingredients are always fresh.“
“The food court environment makes this seem like it wouldn't be that good but I love the Ramen here. It's also a big plus that they re-did the seating in the food court area... Used to be almost impossible to get seating on a weekend.“
“Delicious and experience, definitely worth going in a group so you can try a few different cuts of meat. We tried the spicy miso and pork bone broth with a perfect mix of flavor and spicy.I personally love being able to try small portions of a lot of different things, so this was perfect. Wygu beef, aged Angus and short rib - delicious“
“The food is tasty and the portion size is very generous. We ordered the pot stickers (delicious) chicken fried noodles (generous with the noodles but skimpy on the chicken), beef noodle soup (noodles were delicious and the meat was tender) and fried rice (tasty and very generous portion size). You can scan the QR code on the table and place your order. Do not go there expecting attentive service...once they delivered our food, they never came to check on us and we had to go to the counter to ask for the check and take out boxes. I enjoyed the food so we will be back but will adjust our expectations on the type of service we will get.“
“If I could eat only one meal for the rest of my life, it would be Tonkotsu ramen from HiroNori. It's perfectly creamy, comforting and delicious. Fair warning - the portion is huge, but I always end up finishing every last drop of it.I went with my 5-year-old to their Sand Canyon location today and ordered a ramen combo with salmon poke, which was the perfect portion for my kiddo. He loved everything and said we should come back here for dinner sometime.A special shout out to the staff - literally everyone is super friendly, attentive and extremely professional. This place has my heart and I'm already planning my next visit.“
“My boyfriend and I came here on a Wednesday afternoon. We walked in and were seated right away.Server was wasn't the friendliest, but was attentive. The restaurant itself is very small and seating is limited.There are a few parking spots right in front of the restaurant and more parking in the lot behind the restaurant. The weekend is very crowded but during the week it's easier to find a spot right in front. Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're craving ramen and in the area!Food review:Slurpin ramen: (4/5) The broth was so full of flavor. I loved the thickness of the broth. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the egg was just the cherry on top!The regular was a good portion!Salad: (4/5) This was a big portion, really good flavor, and the dressing was delicious. It was super fresh!“
“I and my colleagues went here for dinner one night whilst in Costa Mesa for a conference. Overall, the experience was very good. I had the Crispy Hainan Chicken rice plate, which was very good, bordering on excellent (4.5 stars). The chicken was dark meat, nicely cooked and lightly battered and fried, the fried part nicely crispy. It came with a nice mixture of sauces with a little spice for the chicken, rice, and a large side of excellent pickled vegetables, plus soup. The portion was sizeable, the price reasonable. Others I saw or tried mostly got noodle dishes. The portions were very large but very overly saucy with somewhat mushy noodle, mostly lots of mediocre noodles and less of other stuff. The consensus overall and from what I noted seems that most of those dishes were fairly good but not great - about 3 stars overall. Again, however, most of them I did not actually try, only observed and talked about. A side of string beans was very good - about 4 stars. They have some cocktails. I had the Capital's Old Fashioned, made with Japanese whisky. It was good but a touch too sweet and light, in part no doubt due to the use of Japanese whisky which is lighter in character than bourbon or rye, my preferred base for an old fashioned. It had a nice quality cherry. It was good - about 4 stars. The place was fairly nice inside, attractive and comfortable. Service was good and friendly. Unlike another experience, even though we all sat at one table, they had no problem giving us 5 separate bills.“

“This is the second time I've been here(out of state) and BOTH times Hakata has not failed. Our first time was incredibly busy but the staff was able to produce an extremely quality ramen bowl. Their Karaage is delicious as well.The second time was way less busy and they were able to churn out my order within what seemed to be less than 5 minutes. Still, the taste was insane. Choose "light" on the menu if you don't want your ramen to be too salty.Atmosphere is nice but it feels "quick" you can enjoy some socialization here but it may be better to head out somewhere else due to capacity and business. That's not a slight but just an observation. Didn't affect my experience whatsoever!Can't wait to return!“
“Dining at Pho The Bowl was an exceptional experience from start to finish, earning a well-deserved five stars. The culinary journey began with their aromatic and flavor-rich pho, which was a comforting embrace in a bowl. Each ingredient was fresh, contributing to a symphony of tastes that danced harmoniously with every spoonful. Not to be overshadowed, the variety of dishes offered alongside the pho were equally remarkable, showcasing the depth of Vietnamese cuisine with vibrant flavors and impeccable presentation.What elevated our dining experience to an unforgettable level was the outstanding service, particularly from our waiter, Tommy. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine passion for ensuring guests enjoy their meal were evident. Tommy's recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our culinary adventure with his insightful suggestions and knowledge about the menu. His enthusiasm for the food and care for the dining experience made us feel truly welcome and appreciated.Pho The Bowl not only delivers on exceptional food but also on creating a welcoming atmosphere where every diner feels valued. It's a gem that shines brightly because of its delicious cuisine and the wonderful people like Tommy who make every visit special. I highly recommend Pho The Bowl to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience that will leave a lasting impression.“
“Pork banh mi was good and a decent value. I'm used to getting them way cheaper but inflation is what it is. Lunch for under 8 bucks is a win in my book.Parking: It's not actually that difficult to find parking, but once you park you basically have to walk through a planter in order to get to the restaurant. Not the restaurant's fault, just that strip mall it's in wasn't planned very well for pedestrian traffic.“
“Relatively fresh and tasty, and much better than the typical Panda Express in the area. Entrees are made fresh to order. Their lunch specials available from 11 to 3 pm are the best if you are on your own. Dinner entrees are available but a little more pricey but with a lot more food (bring a friend or partner to dine). I especially like their take on Orange chicken served with Chow Mein. Doordash and to-go available.Parking: Shopping center parking. Now that storefront spots are capped for either 15 or 30 minutes only (except handicap spots), so if you are dining in, be sure to park in the broader lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Nearby storefront parking available. Single manual door. Wheelchair accessible counter.“
“I've been to a lot of Japanese restaurants during my time as a medical student, and this restaurant is simply the best. The price for the portion is unbeatable, and the staff is super kind. Definitely making this spot a regular stop for me.“
“I've been on a mission to try omurice with demiglace sauce and not the lazy ketchup drizzle. While Aoki No Chuuka didn't have Omurice, they did have Curry Omumeshi. It looked interesting and from the pictures, it looked like demiglace sauce. So I ordered it to try.This was very tasty. The curry fried rice is delicious. While the sauce doesn't seem like it is demiglace sauce but something similar to Bulldog Brand Sauce. It still worked. Definitely recommended.“
“Extremely tasty noodle dishes - All noodle dishes we tried were really excellent. Also, the sticky rice dessert is super tasty! I agree with some of the other reviews that the staff could really try to be friendlier. However, who cares about that if the food and price are great?“
“Flavor town. I ordered the cubed chashu bowl and it was probably one of the best Japanese rice bowls I’ve ever had. Chashu bits simmered in a sweet and spicy soy base over a bed of Japanese short grain rice was heavenly. Not to mention, the onsen egg (perfectly cooked) added just the right amount of creaminess to the dish “
“I came here for lunch and ordered the stone bowl soup with beef ribs. I wish there was a pre-photo before i started eating... lol. It was really pretty and really good - i really enjoyed the enoki mushrooms, the beef was super tender... delicious. I took off one star because there wasn't alot of meat on the beef ribs. I would come again and try something new.“
“The presentation of Noodle at Qin West is particularly outstanding. The cold skin here has a soft texture and a unique taste. It not only retains the traditional flavor, but also adds modern innovation. You can feel the carefully prepared sauce in every bite. It has the sourness of vinegar, the spiciness of chili oil, and the fragrance of minced garlic, perfectly balancing various flavors. In addition, the restaurant's service attitude is excellent and the environment is clean and tidy, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you are a first timer or a seasoned fan of cold noodle soup, Qin West Noodle can provide you with an unforgettable gourmet journey.“
“I was recommended my a friend and absolutely love it here! The prices are very reasonable and the food quality and portions are great.The seafood salad is one of my favorites. Huuuge thick slices of tuna and salmon tataki's with a classic wafu dressing. Their unagi don is awesome too and is such a great combo with the seafood salad. The unagi is cooked to perfection and is very fresh and not super boney. Love the fact that you have the options to choose between white and brown rice!The tatsuta age (fried chicken) was great as well. Nicely seasoned and juicy!The udon they use is on the thinner side and I abosolutely loooove it. Super yummy. Also, this isn't pictured but I bought a salmon teriyaki plate to take home and I am obsessed. The salmon was sooo large and thick and the teriyaki sauce was perfect!It's takeout/eat in service at the moment and I have no complaints! Order first and then grab a table. Quick and easy.Definitely recommend!!“
“We were looking for a trendy breakfast but accidentally drove in this plaza with several Asian restaurants open (8:30ish). We saw a couple eating outside the Kingfu Master, and decided to give a try. We tried a few items on the menu, and to our surprise, they are outstanding! We then order almost everything on the breakfast menu. My kids, wife and I appreciate the authenticity of the food they offer. The cashier is little bit unenthusiastic but gets her job done. The place is clean. Overall, a great spot for breakfast.“

“I wasn't real familiar with this kind of cuisine, but definitely had a great experience. Cold appetizer was delicious as was the seafood rice. Also got the braised beef soup, which was good as well. I'm not a big fan of noodle soups per se, but this was delicious and the beef was very very tender. Seafood fried rice was maybe the best I've ever had from very light and fluffy very flavorful the chili sauce at the table made it just an amazing flavor sensation.“
“One of my top meals of 2024 so far, and this will be hard to beat! Lovely staff and the best service here. It’s closest to park near the Apple Store at the Spectrum.Started off with the Scallop crudo, this was so refreshing and delightfully spicy, and the scallops were huge too!The Squid ink uni pasta was calling my name, and this was so creamy and delicious.For rolls, we got the Sashimi roll which was my absolute favorite here, and the Volcano roll which is literally lit on fire!Had to end the perfect meal on a sweet note with winter-only seasonal Yuzu flan.Thanks for reading! ^-^“
“rei craved pho and settled with going to pho ba co since it was close. overall, rei thinks it's decent however, there is better around OC. rei does agree that this is probably the best pho place in irvine. rei appreciates the vegan options which is usually rare at pho restaurants! go vegan!!“

“Have a chance to try this place since they are known for their sauerkraut fish soup noodles. Various noodles soup bases. We ordered the sauerkraut fish soup with udon noodles and the house special snoodleSoup. The house special is not bland, Milky soup with various fish fillet and fish balls. The sauerkraut fish noodles has a little kick to it. We also ordered the spider crab roll to try. Pretty decent. The place offered indoor and outdoor seating! Staff was really friendly and accommodating. Clean and quite cozy.Parking: Plenty of parking spaces in the below ground parking lot, the parking area on the ground level is difficult to find.“
“FOOD- 5 Stars Service-3 Stars Ambiance-3Stars Don't expect a good service in this Restaurant as they really busy , and sometimes even rude., try to kick your ass out , to serve the nx costumer, Food quality , I should say a place to go around Lake Forest Area. Ambiance- No ambiance.“
“SENSATIONAL DIM SUM ! We checked out this place a few days ago...the menu looked great so we put it on our must try list. On Sunday we decided to do lunch here...the early heavy rain killed our Sunday bike ride. My wife and I rocked in at 12.40pm. It was as dead as a cracker...maybe because of the really cold rainy weather ! A kind server named Abbott looked after us the whole time. Funnily enough my wife and I ordered exactly the same items from the Dim Sum menu....STEAMED BBQ PORK BUNS & JUICY PORK DUMPLINGS. And then we both chose CRISPY SHRIMP ROLLS from the Small Bites menu. HA HA ! My wife also ordered a THAI ICED TEA. Our well spoken server Abbott brought our lunch order out one at a time so we could take time to enjoy. AND ENJOY WE DID ! Everything we ordered tasted TOP NOTCH. My wife LOVED her well made flavorsome Thai Iced Tea. Truly the most relaxing enjoyable Din Sum lunch ever. Our server Abbott was sensational. We will be back for dinner real soon !“
“Large space, few people.Servers didn't speak English, but that's not the issue. As the place is mostly online-order dependent, it suffers on the homefront.Otherwise, a fine establishment.The food was surprisingly spicy (good) and everything from the manner of service to the presentation of the food felt like a run-in from the old country.“
“Fun little spot with a twist on Mongolian BBQ where the fire-grilled foods are roasted in a rotating round. Fresh selections for veggies and meats - with noodle options or greens if preferred.Some interior seating and a few outside tables in front of their storefront if you prefer.Staff is quick with a smile and suggestions if asked. Knowledgeable group with a ready answer to most any question - even the "which is better?" Will be qualified with a couple questions of you to determine preferred tastes.Popular spot at lunchtime so either skip out of the office a bit early or be prepared to wait like the rest of us. Fast service so it's not too long of a wait.“
“Open under new much improved management! Today 1/15/24 a Nederlander and I had the best lunch of 7 visits over 8 years! For years my wife refused to go back but she would have enjoyed the nasi goreng, gado gado, and sate today. I just came off of a Holland America Cruise where I had Indonesian four times. IMHO today's lunch was as good. I will definitely return soon and take friends!“
“I’m from Taipei and so happy to have this place nearby now. The food is very tasty and the service is friendly. I crave Taiwanese food often so this place has been on repeat visits for me. Highly recommend. The taste is authentically Taiwanese.“
“We walked in and got seated immediately. We enjoyed all our food. The calamari was notably crispy and light and perfectly salted. The Gu Fries was cheesey and had a complimenting soy glaze the complimented the saltiness of our ramens. The service was unhurried and efficient. The vibe of the space was consistent with the theme. I tried their mandarin sorbet and it was disappointing but still a good pallet cleanser. We really enjoyed our dinner there. This continues to be our annual stop in Laguna for a late ramen.“
