“The best vegan pho I’ve ever had.“

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

“I have been coming here for years. The service and food are great! My favorite is usually the Pad Thai, but the Crying Tiger I tried tonight was also amazing. My wife likes the yellow chicken curry, which is also delicious when she shares some with me.“

“You can enjoy dim sum without having to wait in long lines like at Din Tai Fung. A cozy, small, typical Chinese restaurant. I had beef noodle soup and pan-fried dumplings, both delicious with absolutely no gamey taste. At the corner of the opened kitchen, three old ladies were constantly rolling out dumpling wrappers. No wonder they're so fresh.“

“My favorite place for Thai food. The taste is always on point. Smaller menu than other Thai restaurants but everything is good and fresh. Service is quick and friendly. The ambiance is cozy and tastefully decorated. Small cafe type restaurant, no frills, just good food. They were under rennovation for a while but recently opened up for dining again. I saw a lot of people order carry outs while I was there.“

“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!“

“We ate at Pho So 1 in Lake Forest and ordered a few dishes, including brisket pho, BBQ spring rolls (#4), vermicelli bowl (#89), and #57. The total came to about $72, which felt a bit pricey—but the food was tasty.

The BBQ rolls were our favorite,.

Dish #89 was light and refreshing. It’s perfect for a warm day for anyone who prefers clean flavors.

Dish # 57 was just okay.

Service was quick, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, it’s a solid spot for Vietnamese food if you don’t mind spending a bit more. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great ramen rice noodles soup 🍜“

“We were in Anaheim for a Ducks game and decided we were craving dumplings. We came across Yum Dumpling and are so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant felt cozy and welcoming, and the service was excellent.

Once the food arrived, it was clear we made the right choice. Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Kung Pao chicken, house special chow mein, and the shrimp and pork spicy wontons each dish was packed with flavor and made with fresh, crunchy vegetables. The steamed pork bao dumplings were especially impressive: juicy, tender, and full of flavor.

To top it off, we had the passion fruit green tea, which was refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!“

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

“Came here after a soccer tournament and wasn't disappointed to say the least. Service was above and beyond. Waitress took her time to help us navigate the menu. Our two boys ate everything! Wish we had more games near here. Family of 4 was $75.“

“Honestly this is one of my friend and I’s favorite place!
They serve some good porridge (some combo is very creative lol) but good!!
And the portion is nice too!
I really like that they have outdoor seating options so we can bring our dog! :))“

“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“

“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.“

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

“It was worth waiting for delicious foods, especially noodles was perfectly cooked
I had to order extra noodle lol
We will definitely come back again soon
One problem most of customers were very loudly speaking each other’s“

“I just ubered food from this place because it was the nearest pho near me thats open on Christmas day. Pho and vermicelli bowl were so full of noodles we couldn’t finish them. Their eggroll was crispy and juicy. Springroll was so fresh. Loved the Vietnamese coffee too. Highly recommend.“

“Really nice place with some yummy food! Especially the avocado volcano!!“

“Ordering is a little confusing. There is a monitor that allows you the option of dine in or carryout. But then you need to go to front to pay before they make the order.

Food was ok. Yellow rice was a little dry, and the chicken thigh was tough and dry. Egg rolls were very good. People were very nice. Probably should have gotten the pho.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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”.“

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

“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”.“

“Whenever I get a craving for Thai this is my go to spot. The food is authentic delicious and Just plain beautiful. The prices are reasonable the portions are large. The atmosphere can be busy, but comforting and relaxing, like a coffeehouse. The hustle and bustle of people coming in doesn’t distract from the atmosphere. In fact, it adds to it. I have always judged a Thai restaurant by their Tom kha kai. The first time I had it here I knew I was in for some good Thai. I’ve been making Tom kha gai at home for years now I know how it’s done and the subtleties of the ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“the best sushi🍣 and service we been going there for years 😃“

“Tried their new signature udon and loved it — the noodles were perfectly chewy with great texture, and the broth was flavorful (I wouldn’t mind a bit more of it!). The restaurant is bright, clean, and well-organized with a fast, efficient ordering system. No long lines and an overall great dining experience.“

“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.“

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

“Robata Wasa is one of the best Japanese spots I’ve tried. The rolls were fresh and flavorful, the Makunouchi Deluxe Bento and Beef Don were both unforgettable, and the Shiitake Mushroom Salad was such a unique touch. Add in their delicious drinks, cozy modern vibe, and friendly service, this place is definitely a must-visit!“

“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。“

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

“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!“

“We had take out. It was prepared quickly and ready to go when we showed up. We were feeding six so we had a good selection of food to share. Everything was great and servings were generous so we will be enjoying leftovers for a while. We will be back next time we are in California.“

“Delicious ramen. We tried the black garlic one and our daughter tried the shio with added egg. Small size is perfect for a child or if not too hungry. Husband and I shared a large and it was plenty for both. Inside Mitzuwa. After eating your meal you can get dessert inside the store. Very convenient.“

“Clean store and tons of Asian products too“

“Amazing food and wonderful customer service. They make you feel like family here! They have awesome Vietnamese dishes, and can get really creative with the menu. I've never had a PHO-RITTO before (Pho + Burrito) but it was AMAZING. Must try!“

“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...“

“Pretty good ramen and sushi. Our group ordered the tonkotsu black and spicy miso ramen. Both were very flavorful and filling. We also order the salmon bento box and chicken katsu with curry. Both the bento boxes were good, but katsu seemed a little dry. It's better with the curry, but I wouldn't order it again. The sushi was great. We got the baked salmon roll and crunch fire roll. Both were fresh and delicious! I would come back to try the other ramen.“

“Dry noodles is where it's at. The shrimp broth is too seafood-y for me. The chicken broth on the other hand was really good. Super rich. Almost tonkatsu-like. But still, stick with the dry noodles and add a bunch of the chili oil. The cod + dry noodles was excellent.“

“First time at this location absolutely delicious food fresh and worth the wild one thing I didnt like is the service once ordered they rush all the food to you at once didnt even give us time to finish appetizers or anything by the time we got all of our food the table was stuffed they could have slowed down just a little give us like 5 minutes in between that's my only complaint other then that all good highly recommend“

“The best Chinese food I've ever had in my now twenty six years of rambling on this rock. The orange chicken was fried to utter perfection with the sauce not being to sweet nor salty. The lack of breeding was wonderful for the crispy nature was from a perfect frying. To great surprise not oily at all. Quy was my server and was a great man to talk to and very kind and insightful as to what to eat and how it was made. Price was nominal for the market rate. The wontons where wonderful semi sweet without the sauce and dessert like with it. Panda Express, eat your heart out.

Parking: Just a pain getting in or out of the lot as a whole.“

“This place is amazingly delicious. My absolute favorite are their Eel buns, and if Im a little extra hungry their spicy tuna on crispy rice is also amazing. I tried their ramen (seen in the pics) and jt was also great. Their service is wonderful-they just need a bigger space!“

“Best place for doing a birthday party if you want Chinese food and you have 10 people or more since they have a second restaurant next to the main restaurant for a group of 10 or more. Sometimes, when the main restaurant is full house, they open the second restaurant for 6-8 people too. Pecking duck & walnut shrimp are the best but other dishes are very good too.“

“I love � fukada“

“great place for fresh made soba and udon. excellent tempura.. Very attentive staff.. highly recommend for those who are noodle enthusiasts“

“Located in the same shopping center off of Culver Drive with their sister location, Tasty Garden. This authentic Chinese restaurant serves delicious noodle dishes. The string beans with eggplant was a great choice! I recommend menu number 42. Beef Brisket Noodle Soup / Lo Mein. Savory noodle dishes with soft beef brisket chunks, carrots and potatoes. The pineapple fried rice was another great option. Our favorite item was the number 11 grilled pork dumplings.“
