“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.”

“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.”

“Katsu pork loin was delicious and a big portion. Miso soup that came with it was smooth and flavorful. Also had the chicken teriyaki bowl that was loaded with chicken. Plenty to take home for two. Our woman server was excellent. Very helpful and attentive - there was also plenty of other team members to serve.”

“Classic Chinese dishes, the staff were really sweet and patient with tired kids. At half the menu all of it was delicious. Really enjoyed the salt and pepper fish along with the green beans. Kids ate up their wonton soup and beef soup. The dumplings disappeared before they hit the table.”

“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!”

“I was looking for a new Thai place to try in the area and I’m so glad that I found Plern Thai Cafe in my search on Google. I really appreciated that Plern offers a vegetarian pad see ew with tofu—I personally don’t like seafood and fish sauces in noodles and other dishes. It was probably the best pad see ew I’ve had in a very long time! I ordered takeout, but when I came into the restaurant to pick up my order, staff were very kind and welcoming. The ambience of the restaurant looks very charming; I’ll definitely have to come and enjoy a meal in the restaurant soon!”

“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”

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”.”

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.”

“The place is quiet and not crowded for weekend lunch. The food was okay. We ordered the golden broth beef hotpot with extra blood. The taste was light. The flavor doesn’t get to the beef and beef was pretty plain. They put a lot of vermicelli in this pot so basically very little soup. The other dishes we got are cold dish cucumbers. It was fresh but the portion was small, as expected. Sliced Beef and Beef Offal in Chili Sauce was a lot of hot oil but the beef was very hard. The oil has a very strange taste to it. I had a lot of Sichuan food many places. I can’t describe this flavor, kind of not fresh but stale taste. I am surprised with the dish quality I got as the reviews are really good. The dessert of tofu pudding was good. But not to the extent that it’s super amazing. Overall 3-4 stars.”

“Sumire is a solid place for home-cooked meals and attentive service. The chicken katsu had thick breading and good crunch, but could’ve used more seasoning to make it taste even better. However, the vibe of this place isn’t to be the best tasting katsu you’ve ever had. The food trying to be a reminder of home: large portion sizes, comfortable, and hearty. A solid choice if you’re looking to leave a restaurant with a full stomach and a warm sensation.”

The powdered sugar was nice, the chocolate too, but was even more impressed by the curry powder. We’re looking forward to seeing more toppings! Staff was very helpful directing us to the UDONuts, young lady at the register was bright and cheery.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”.”

“This was my first time at this restaurant. I had the pho tai steak. The flavor of the broth was savory and complex. It was phenomenal. 😋The steak meat itself was lean which is what I wanted but it had a little bit of an after taste which is why I gave it a rating of 4. Next time I’ll just ask for the broth because that gets a score of 5/5! The lady who was working was pleasant and cheerful. There’s plenty of parking. I will definitely come back again but order the pho without meat 🙂”

“My daughter just moved to Aliso Viejo and we went to the shopping center over in Aliso Viejo and ran into this Kirin Noodle House by mistake. We walked in and they were very friendly. We sat down and noticed the employees were on a lunch break. We asked what dish they were eating. They said it was not on the menu that the owner makes them lunch everyday. They were so nice they brought us a sample of what they were eating and it was delicious. We then ordered beef and celery dumplings and they were fresh and amazing. My daughter ordered beef chow fun. Incredibly good and I ordered spicy chicken with chili and chili peppers. All the food was plentiful and amazing. This was a soft opening for them in Aliso Viejo. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food and service were outstanding.”

“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...”

“I've tried ramen all over California, other states, and even in Japan, but Santouka's spicy miso ramen still remains my favorite bowl of all time. Perhaps my taste buds have been biased by nostalgia over the 8 years I've been coming to this location, but I still stand behind my opinion. There is something so unique about the flavor of the ramen here that I haven't really been able to find anywhere else. Other trendy ramen spots and their signature ramens start blending together in my mind, unlike Santouka. Santouka offers simple, solid bowls of ramen. They don't claim to be the best, and they really shouldn't need to. Honestly, I don't even think it's the best ramen I've had in terms of quality objectively. But I still always find myself coming back. I miss the cash-only days with the friendly, but no-nonsense, old lady at the front counter, but the ramen still tastes the exact same as I always remember it. I also want to highlight that the Irvine location gives WAY more noodles compared to other Santouka locations (like Costa Mesa).”
