“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.“

“Let me just start off by saying the service here it’s outstanding!! It was my first time trying ramen and the cashier was very friendly and helped me with choosing my first meal. The food was very tasty and fresh! I will definitely come back again!“

“I had the bugolgi rice bowl and it was so delicious. I love all the veggies they add to it. Portions are good too which is nice. Way better than waba grill or other similar places. Definitely worth coming back. I will be trying more items on the menu!“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“Great date spot, sure to impress! The katsu has a rich flavor and superior texture, melt in your mouth with a layer of crunch. The Matcha Yuzu Ade was so good my partner and I started making our own at home. Kind staff as well, we sat at the booth and it was fun watching the kitchen. I live far away from this place but otherwise would be a regular.“

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

“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“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“I go to Rodeo 39 very often, and this is one of the restaurants that I enjoy most. Their Japanese curry quality is great, not to mention, the portions are fulfilling as well. The staff are always helpful with recommendations along with other needs as well. This is a great place if you're looking for a meal at Rodeo 39!“

“Our dinner was delightful and authentic thai dishes , the staff were kind & attentive and the food service was quick and affordable as well, that’s why we did ordered a lot, because it was reasonable, thou unable to take more food pictures .I highly recommend the beef curry, steamed chicken , pad Thai, chicken satay skewers , crispy fish pompano’ , crab fried rice , mango sticky rice for dessert . We will surely comeback to this restaurant again.

We would like to suggest that extra staff will be hire especially for dinner and weekends, more training for new FOH staff , especially maintaining on cleanliness for the better, the menu’s should be change , cleaner , more readable and well laminated.. Thank you !!!“

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

“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!“

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

“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 .“

“The food is good but it is not worth the price. I got the pho combination which was 16 dollars. I would not mind the price but they are stingy with the meat. I would not bother coming back when there are so many other options that are worth the price of admission.“

“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 !“

“I loved this place when it was Tokyo teriyaki. Even when they changed their name to Poke Yaki, they still sold their original teriyaki menu in addition to the poke. Well, the days of that teriyaki chicken bowl with fried shrimp are over, and its too bad because they had the best teriyaki in town. Their poke, however, is quite excellent, but ill never go back because they gave up on a good thing for something else I dont want as much.

If youre into poke, which i am, this is a great place for that. Im just moving on.“

“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.“

“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! 😊“

“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“

“My wife and I come here maybe at least once a month and maybe twice a month if we crave the chicken salad party platters. I would come here more often if they had a location closer to Cypress. I was sad to hear they closed the Long Beach location. I enjoy the food here and it is a fairly healthy place for a fast casual food experience.“

“My wife really enjoyed the curry chicken plate and the sides that came with it. She had the mild curry and said it was one of the better ones she's had in quite a while.
I had the pork katsu sandwich and it was a mess! Needed a ton of napkins. It was a little tough and had too much of a kick for me. The waffle fries were okay, for me, not as good as Chick-fil-A.
Service was just okay. They have a self-serve kiosk for ordering. Works okay but I prefer the option of using a cashier.
Self-serve fountain drinks are a specialty brand, not Coke or Pepsi.
Parking lot is very busy. But we found a spot fairly quickly and not to far from the restaurant.
Worth a try for the curry chicken katsu but I'd avoid the sandwich.
Enjoy!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“For my first visit i was very impressed, the inside was a very comfortable setting,
- the food was amazing ,
very good
- the urban plate was a hit 💯 chicken steak and shrimp ..
didnt get the cashier‘s name, but she was very sweet and adorable.
Will be returning. Thank you 🙏🏽“
