Noodles near Laguna Hills, CA

“We dropped in at Pho Saigon last night and had a wonderful takeaway. The food was typical Vietnamese, light, fresh (in the sense of flavour and beautifully cooked. The service was swift but not pressured and the takeaway was parcelled neatly and securely. We will return...“

“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!“

“I tried this restaurant for the first time today with one of my groups. They had lunch specials you could choose from. I had their mixed veggie dish which came with white rice and a choice of soup. The veggie dish was good. It had bok choy which I love. I had their sweet and sour soup. I enjoyed that as well. The wait staff was not friendly but warmed up to us at the end.
Since we had a big group, we sat in the big dining room with many tables set up for big parties. There’s plenty of free parking.“

“Huge dinner portion could have split easily!
Efficient waiter and staff
King pou chicken and egg fried rice were good and fresh
Huge varied menu many things to try
Maybe lunch has smaller portion
We are eating our dinner 3 days later- which is fine but you need to know!
Tea cups were super hot beware!“

“Good food and interesting service!...

Roaming around Irvine searching for somewhere to eat with something soupy and warm, my girlfriend and I came across this place. We joined the Yelp waitlist and once it was our turn to be seated we went inside.

Once inside, we waited in another line to get to the check-in kiosk which was a little inconvenient since it cause a crowd of people to awkwardly wait inside by the front door. I feel it would have made more sense to place it outside of the restaurant. The host, or at least the person at the register for the to-go orders, was stressed and it was very obvious. She was visibly in a hurry and talked extremely fast and seemed to be running out of breath. The one server (at the time) was also walking around stressed and at times was visibly upset with that person. The restaurant wasn't full, but the seating on both sides were taken. The long table that runs in the center was completely empty. Well, empty until we came. We got seated at the long table.

Any who, the food is what you want to know about! I ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup/Rice Noodle Soup and the Beef Roll Pancake. It didn't take long to get the food, maybe 10 minutes at most.

How was it?

- Spicy Beef Noodle Soup/Rice Noodle Soup: Chunks of beef shank, kale, pickled veggie, cilantro, and green onions. Between standard round and knife cut noodles, I went with the knife cut noodles well... because my girlfriend chose it haha. It was a good choice though, they were wide noodles and hit the spot. The meat was good, decent sized chunks and very tender. The soup was tasty and had a good kick to it.

- Beef Roll Pancake: Beef, green onions, cilantro, and hoisin sauce. These things were huge. Plenty of greens in each of them. I've had beef roll pancakes at other places and wasn't a fan of how sweet they were. The ones here though, are just the way I like it. Not overloaded with sauce and not heavily sweet. These were good.

Plenty of parking everywhere in the lot, though I can see it getting more full later in the night. We came around 6PM and didn't have a problem finding a spot.

Service was OK. Even with the limited interaction that I had with the stressed out workers, it got me feeling stressed as well!

I'd come back for the food :).“

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

“We went for dinner and ordered XLB, cucumber salad, shrimp shumai, shrimp fried rice, and braised beef noodle soup and it all came out in 13 minutes.

Vegetarian options: There aren't many vegetarian options but otherwise pretty solid.

Parking: There are many places to park up front and on the street.

Kid-friendliness: They are very nice to kids and it is easy for kids to get around and talk to employees.

Wheelchair accessibility: The hallways and spaces between tables are wide and very wheelchair accesible.“

“The best vegan pho I’ve ever had.“

“Excellent customer service!

Maya helped me select the food for my vegan diet because their vegetarian options came with egg. I got kale & fruit salad with black rice and mango chrysanthemum tea. The food tasted really good but a few portions of their kale was not fresh enough.

I will try their drinks and dessert when I come again.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options but not vegan. I wish they would make their vegetarian options into vegan with tofu or tempe, and have option to add egg or other things.“

“Service is wonderful. Everyone is friendly. It’s like going to my Obason’s to have dinner. Everything about this place is authentically Okinawan. Oishī“

“I often pass by this small shop and have thought countless times about trying the spicy beef noodles. Unfortunately, I always had to wait in line. Today at 1:30 PM, I found an available seat, so I happily sat down and ordered the spicy beef noodles I had been looking forward to, choosing the thick noodles. The first bite took me straight back to Yongkang Street in Taipei—absolutely wonderful!

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I ordered the ramen tofu because there normal ramen was a combination of tonkotsu broth with pork and chicken.
Since I don't eat pork, it had to be the tofu one, which is really sad for me. I was expecting them to add chicken to it, but they couldn't, so I had to order a chicken lolipop on the side, which was actually pretty good.
So if you don't like/eat pork it's gonna be hard for you in there but otherwise the ramen tofu was good but I didn't want to eat tofu because I don’t like it but chicken but like I said I had no choice but to order it.“

“On Sunday evening, after my son finished his Taekwondo tournament in Tustin, I searched for nearby Ramen restaurants and drove my family to Yoshiharu Ramen.

To my surprise, only one server was attending to 80% of the customers. Since my kids were hungry, we decided not to spend time going to another restaurant. Therefore, we ordered the following items:

• Tonkatsu Black ($18.00)
• Tonkatsu Spicy Black ($18.50)
• Rib Eye Beef Bento ($20.00)

After waiting for 20 minutes, two bowls of Ramen arrived. I almost finished my meal when my wife and daughter realized the Bento had not arrived yet. I asked the server about it, and she apologized, explaining that it was taking longer than expected.

Advice to the Owner: To ensure better business, please consider hiring more servers and not cutting back on labor costs. Customers don’t like waiting.

If the waiting time improves, we will definitely return.

Parking: Many free parking lots“

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

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

“This is my go-to place for incredibly flavorful Thai food. Ever since the waitress recommended their pumpkin curry on our first visit, I have been an avid fan and customer for the last 3 years. Although we have moved away, coming back to have their curry and beef pad see ew always hits the spot and is worth the drive.“

“This is our go to for pho, pad se ew (sp?), and garlic noodles. I like the steak so much and the veggies are super fresh.

Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to eggs so I just opt for no egg in the dishes I order. They are 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.“

“If you’re a content creator this place is for you. They get treated better than the average person staff are attentive to them . If you are a regular person like me . Welp let just say it takes a while to be seen only attentive person was Issac he was nice actually genuinely seems interesting in giving good service.“

“Decent spot for a quick Vietnamese meal!

My friend and I visited this Vietnamese restaurant for lunch, located in the Parkview Center Plaza. The plaza has ample parking, and the restaurant offers a cozy ambiance with a decent seating capacity. If you prefer dining outdoors, there’s also plaza seating available. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick and efficient.

We started with the Duo Appetizer, which included a spring roll and a crispy egg roll. Both were good, but the crispy egg roll stood out—it was hot, fresh, and flavorful.

For the main course, we went with the pho noodle soup: the chicken breast sous vide and the special combo, both in large portions. The noodle and meat quantity was generous, but the broth was a bit underwhelming—lacking the depth of flavor I was expecting.

We also tried the tri-color bean drink and the black sea grass jelly drink. The jelly drink was okay, but the tri-color bean drink felt more like a scoopable dessert than a beverage—not my preference.

If you're in the area and craving pho, this place is a convenient option, but it might not blow you away. A solid choice for a quick Vietnamese meal!“

“We ordered pho soup with raw steak & meatball, and grilled pork vermicelli!
- Pho was hot and fresh. Soup base was ok, but it seems to be chicken broth more than beef broth. Still good to me
- they gave a plate of bean sprout/herbs with plastic wrap on top, small portion. I asked for one more and they were happy to give me more
- I like the vermicelli more as the grilled pork was tasty! It came with egg rolls as well

Place was spacious, not very crowded. Service was average, everything was smooth & right timing.“

“This place is incredible especially their vegan ramen. I am not vegan myself. However, I love the vegan sesame flavored ramen with charred broccolini. However, I find it be overpriced and not so much value for the money. Staff is great and enthusiastic and the creativity is profound.“

“Our first time at Sunny’s Dumpling House. What an amazing experience, reaching them make each and every dumpling by hand. This made us enjoy the dumplings even more. We had them suggest some of the favorites and they didn’t disappoint. Try Sunny’s, we will be back, so much more to try!“

“I’ve been ordering since they open years ago. Tonight I had an amazing and unusual experience that compelled me to write a review. Outstanding level of customer service, above and beyond all expectations to accommodate and correct a mistake that I made! To the tune of remaking my entire order complimentary! I’ve never had this experience anywhere. Thank you!“

“とても美味しいスープがお手頃なお値段でいただけます。“

“I have been eating here since 2002 while still in high school. First time ever eating Pho here. These 3 Viet guys from my classes introduced me to Pho at this place. Been going here whenever I’m craving Pho or Viet food in the Irvine area. The most flavorful Pho broth out of any Viet restaurant I’ve ever ate in California.“

“Delicious food, fun and inviting atmosphere, excellent service and the friendliest owners Key and his lovely wife Grace. Our local reliable go to.“

“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”.“

“Beautiful restaurant, amazing and creative food and wonderful service. It’s the best Thai food I have ever had! Please support this lovely and authentic restaurant so it will continue to serve the Irvine community. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Their service is great, and you can feel that they are paying a lot of attention to customers.

We brought our dog with us so we sit the outdoor area, and they have been very attentive all the time.

Food is great, they are noodle house but their rice is out of question also great as well.

I'll come here soon again.“

“What is there to complain about? I always come by whenever I'm in the neighborhood. Still one of the few deals thats under $10 for an actual meal.Their Pork Cutlet Curry ($9.25+tax) is my go-to for its volume and the home-y feeling it gives you.The gentleman at the front gingerly took my order and my food came out ~10mins. Mind you, this was on a Tuesday afternoon (2pm)I prefer this locaction sometimes compared to its sister location in Costa Mesa. The choices here are limited, but you get the quiet and convenience.Tip: There's a parking in the back corner of the mall where you have direct access to the food court instead of parking and walking through the front. If you can find it...“

“The base soup is not too greasy nor salty. Larger portions than expected. Pro/con that there are only 4 types of soups to choose from. But makes sense since most Ramen places have few variety. Their salt Ramen was good but the spicy miso tasted like Mala seasoning, which I'm not a fan of. The combo is just rice + whatever topping you choose so it's simple but it tasted great to dip the rice in the Ramen soup. Only wish is for them to have takuan as a default side menu to have a refreshing taste.“

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

“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”.“

“It's the best cold noodles I've had since coming to the US.
There may be a standard of personal taste, but I have never failed when coming here with friends.
Highly recommended when you want to eat cold noodles!!!“

“Clean store and tons of Asian products too“

“I was able to make it here early last month after just walking around and exploring and I was pleasantly surprised at the portion sizes. I also really enjoyed the toro and got the largest portion. I sound at the bar. All of the sushi chefs were very friendly as well as the servers. If you’re chasing good Toro this is a solid spot for sure.“

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

“Great ramen rice noodles soup 🍜“

“Of all the pho places I've tried in OC so far (including Michelin rated places) this is the one I keep coming back to the most. Their broth has the very distinct flavors of traditional Vietnamese spices, some days even overwhelmingly so, but it feels so healthy. Their noodles have a great bouncy chewiness that us Asians love, and it's not powdery feeling or rock hard like some other places can be. They do a great job skimming the fat oils from the broth to a perfect ratio where there's still tons of flavor but light enough that you can drink it forever and not feel gross. The meat and toppings all feel pretty standard but I absolutely love the broth and noodles here. My service experience has always been fast and friendly as well.“

“I love � fukada“

“I've only tried a couple of dishes, but they were really good. There aren't many Asian restaurants in south OC with flavor like they have here. I got the pork soup dumplings and chicken fried noodles. The flavor on the soup dumplings was really good. The noodles were really good also. You could definitely taste the garlic and the hot wok flavor.

The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, it looks very modern. The staff were all friendly also. It's cool to be able to see into the kitchen. I look forward to coming back and trying some more of their dishes.“

“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!“

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

“Their specialty dishes are: 1. Sullungtang: taste amazing and very light. A good meal for winter/ 2. Cold noodle: the best I've tried so far, especially when you get a combo with spicy pork or bulgogi 3. Meat: spicy pork/bulgogi was homemade and were not like other korean restaurants. Taste very delicious!“

“Ramen was delish, it was pretty busy and took awhile to get a table for 8, but if you have a smaller party and aren’t starving, for sure get some!“

“There are many idiots rating this place low for no reason. The foods were all very flavorful and delicious. The waitresses were all very friendly and kind. We ordered the braised pork belly with the preserved vegetables, eggplant and beef, as well as the Kung Pao chicken. I recommend every one of them, they were all great.“

“I got spicy ramen (the last one in the list) and it was pretty good. The portions are adequate, I didn’t feel like I was gonna explode, but I felt comfortably full. They have a lot of vegetarian options. The prices are on the higher side though, probably due to its location. Otherwise it’s pretty good.

Vegetarian options: Almost all of their ramen have a vegetarian equivalent, and all the broth is vegetarian.

Parking: There are a lot of parking on either side of the mall.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the first floor and there are no steps. Access would be easy for someone on a wheelchair.“

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

“This place is a gem!

My friend and I shared a Fried Oyster / Egg, Minced Meat with Rice, Oyster with Thin Noodle, and Meat Ball (I forgot to take pictures of the latter two).

The portion and price were fair. Service was friendly and efficient. Ambiance was cute and quiet.

Everything I ordered tasted pretty authentic - can't wait to try more when I return!“
