“Loved their seafood boils, coconut sauteed snails, crawfish fried rice, soft-shell crabs, fried vermicelli rolls & phở. Basically, just order everything 🤤😋😉“

“Wonton soup with the bread is perfect for this chilly morning.“

“The food is really good and cheap, plus its a really good portion of it. The atmosphere is pretty welcoming and feels good to be there. The most remarkable thing its the service, it is a really nice and good service in every way, best service I've had so far and will definitely go back.“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“We were a family of 5 and we all got a milk tea boba. Everyone loved their drinks and food. The portions were generous and delicious. The beef bologa and orange chicken were so great. I'm so glad to we checked this place out. It was the perfect ending to our vacation.“

“Very good customer service and vibes I love the decorations and how clean it is. The ramen and potstickers were very filling and definitely worth trying. I keep coming back for the spicy tonkatsu ramen but the sushi was not very good especially for the price...

Another complaint I have is the chopsticks feel very cheap and hard to work with plus $2.50 for a can of coke isn't really something to look forward to with your meal

P.S. I'll definitely be back but I felt the need to give an honest review“

“Food is Great! Service is Great! Atmosphere is Great!! what more can you ask for! BEST SHABU IN ORANGE COUNTY!!“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“Ive eaten here many times only because the food is so delicious 😋
But to be honest the customer service is not very good. Yesterday when I was trying to order my food the Asian girl at the front was too busy to even talk to me because she was on the phone while I stood there for 10 minutes trying to ask a question. After I got my food I nicely asked for some extra sauces and she gave me a look with attitude. Someone needs to train this girl on how to provide good customer service because of that youll be losing your customers no matter how good your food is.“

“We love Joy. My family have been regulars for many many years. Food is awesome. Service is great, servers friendly. Only bummer, when we, as a family, went to celebrate my birthday on Saturday, we presented a gift certificate my husband & I were gifted from my Kids. It was issued at the end of 2019, expired at the end of 2020. Because of Covid we did not venture out until late last year. They did not not honor it. A little bit of a disappointment, but not going to keep us from frequenting our fav local sushi restaurant.“

“Pretty good Thai food with a good amount of heat from their spicy dishes. The lady at the counter was very helpful and she gave some good recommendations for a first time customer. Their Hainanese chicken was surprisingly good with juicy chicken chucks and chicken broth infused bed of rice.“

“They changed my mind about plain chicken with the ginger dip. Literally the best plain chicken I've ever had.
It's tucked away in the mall and I would've never tried it if a family friend hadn't recommended it. But it's SO GOOD. I don't know exactly what it's called but it's basically the main dish, they even have a picture of it plastered on the wall.
The cashier lady at the front was really sweet and efficient. Def recommend giving this place a try!“

“Excellent service and the food is awesome. Highly recommend“

“The food at pho lime and basil was just amazing, tasty And well made. The service was spectacular ! He was so kind and gentle and he new how to pronounce pho! Lol. The atmosphere was actual rlly nice. They decorated it so beautiful! Overall I think this is one of the best reausteraunts and Vietnamese places I've ever been. I've been too so many Vietnamese places and this one by far is the best one! I definitely will be coming back!“

“Food was so yummy! Had the chicken pho and edamame.“

“Tasty Chicken - Fried And Original Style . Rice 🍚 Deliciousness . Sauces On Point . Great Service“

“Honestly expensive but I think it's a sharable portion size. I got Thai tea and a regular size poki bowl spent $20 but I couldn't even finish my bowl it's so much food. It all tasted delicious to me . Customer service is clearly not a top priority but you get your food quick .“

“Great real Japanese foods. Many kinds of SAKE. You can Togo order. Sashimi is so fresh. My recommendation is Harumaki, tuna sashimi, Nabetani udon, beef tataki“

“I've eaten at a lot of Vietnamese restaurants around the area, and this spot is definitely worth checking out—especially now that it's under new management. The food tastes like the real deal. Everything came out fresh, full of flavor, and made to order. You can tell they care about quality and aren't cutting corners.

The restaurant is spotless, the service is welcoming, and the whole place has a great vibe. It's refreshing to find a neighborhood spot serving authentic Vietnamese food that's consistently fresh and delicious.

If you're a fan of Vietnamese cuisine or just looking to try something new, do yourself a favor and stop by. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.“

“My friend told me that the cha gio here is very good and i decided to stop by and give it a try today . Its Small place with wide selection choices of food , i ordered Hu Tieu Nam Vang and i like it , shrimps are big and fresh . Service is fast and good . I definitely will be back“

“Plenty of seats. Extra like fifty cent charge for cards. Lady barely seem to speak english. Food taste a lil cheap. Got the mixed veg and fried rice. It was ok. Steam table food. The thing with these type of places is that the veggies taste clear/fake or something lol paid 15 with extra side of broccoli. Try it out if u will. Id go back last. Didnt taste like gmos or salty though.“

“Absolutely outstanding service. We walked in right before closing, totally wiped from work, and the two women working there were so warm, welcoming, and attentive. They made us feel like welcome guests instead of late customers. Fast, friendly, and genuinely caring service. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I've been to the Katsu Bar in Irvine, and I enjoyed the food so much that I had to come back.

Parking: Free parking lot. They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a small indoor space with a decent amount of indoor seating. Very casual and chill. I visited on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy.

Service: I was greeted right when I entered. She asked if I had any questions and offered help. There's two self ordering kiosks. You can also order takeout. Throughput took a little over 10 minutes.

Food: I ordered the Rosemary Chicken Katsu Sando with baja chipotle sauce and waffle fries. Their sandos are my favorite menu items. Perfect for lunch. The chicken katsu was fried and seasoned deliciously. The bread was milky and light. The waffle fries tasted as expected. My only tip is try to eat the sandos asap. Otherwise the bread might get too soft. I really wanted the strawberry sandos for dessert, but they were out of stock that day. Highly recommend trying the sandos!

Pricing: They have daily deals at an extremely affordable price. Honestly everything on their menu is worth its price. Will definitely be visiting this small chain again!“

“Great food and fast service. Looking for a quick and good lunch this the spot. I recommend it try it !“

“Love this place, used to be in Long Beac closer to me but willing to drive to Carson for the food. I know it's more of a chicken and rice place, but for me it's their burgers that are the best. Made to order goodness one of my favorite burgers. The chicken teriyaki is good too. The Chinese chicken salad is also very good. Can't speak to other menu items cause I always order the same thing. Service is great, I like the order and pay, pick your own seat, no tip needed.“

“If you like dim sum - here is a place for you ! They serve dim sum all day long unlike some other places dim sum is served before 2 pm. In addition to dim sum, they do have some dinner dishes under ‘chef’s recommendation’. We ordered eggplants in garlic sauce - it was really good! Their dim sum is good with fresh ingredients !“

“Wow, so incredibly clean inside. Really nice presentation, better than I anticipated. I went in for the first time and the customer service was great! She was happy to explain and walk me through what they serve and offer with a positive attitude. She even explained the points system as I was paying. That kind of customer service is special when employees are attentive. The gals were cheerful and respectfully welcoming to customers and were happy to help. Good communication 👍🏼 thank you. 😊

The product and options are also super! I will be coming back. I look forward to trying the juices next! 😊“

“You can eat your style taco, burrito, tostada, salad, hamburger or plate you can choose grill jalapeño, chiles different kind of hot sauces and good teriyaki taste excellent service“

“Stopped in for dinner last week. There is plenty of parking available. The restaurant itself is small but charming.

We started off with s strawberry matcha and a mango slushy boba. Both were cool and refreshing.

We got a crunch roll and it was massive. This easily could have been a meal. It was so good and delicious.

Next up was the stir fry noodles with chicken and beef teriyaki. This was a heavy portion of food. I mixed it all up and it was so tasty and satisfying. A very filling meal just by itself.

Last, but not least, was the bento box. Another large portion of food. You get rice, chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, shrimp, salad, gyoza, shrimp tempura and a four piece California roll. So good and very filling.

Large portions and friendly service will make this your go-to teriyaki house!“

“The older Asian man who took our order was not friendly at all. (The first thought that entered my mind was that he was a racist) Upon entering the restaurant my friend and I greeted him twice he never did open his mouth and speak. It was our first time there so I had questions about what I wanted to order. He was very pushy and impolite rushing us even though we were the only customers in the restaurant. We should have turned around and walked out but we were tired so we ignored his rudeness. The rice was good but I wondered how it could be cooked to order when we got it right away.“
