“I absolutely love this place for any occasion and especially like the sushi!!! They're large rolls, very filling and you get your money's worth.The teppanyaki table is always a blast and the chefs that are preparing the food are hilarious ? I would give this place an A++“
“VERY dark indoor dining atmosphere... Need to use your phone flashlight for menu reading after sunset!But their outdoor dining area is very enjoyable.They have an amazing Happy Hour menu and fantastic drinks!Very eclectic menu with many unique Thai options!“
“Came upon this quaint little sushi place and won the jackpot! The small place filled up very quickly but the service was quick to serve! Fish was fresh and interesting. We loved all of the food we ordered. We will be returning as soon as we can!“
“I want to keep this place a secret but I also need it to thrive because the food is SO GOOD!! If you get there before 3 definitely get the waffle but everything is delicious. The pho baguette and sticky rice munchies are my current go to's but that will change in a couple months.“
“We had the grilled pork jowl salad and the beef shanks panaeng stew. The food tasted great, the flavor was intense. We enjoyed both entrees very much. The waitress was friendly and helpful. Two things we didn't like though: 1) the food came out very slowly. I didn't time it, but it was long enough for us to keep wondering if they've forgotten us. But we looked around and noticed that other patrons didn't have their food either. Then after my wife's entrée came out, we still had to wait for some time for my entrée to come out. If my wife had started eating right when her entree came out, she would've finished by the time my entree came out. 2) No public restroom.“
“First time dining here! We had dinner on a Wednesday evening, and the place was quite packed. Luckily a reservation through Yelp beforehand helped us get a table not long after we arrived. We ordered: - Rib Bone Pho - Short Rib Pho - Fillet Mignon Lomo Saltado - Chicken Nugget Basket For me, the star of the show was their aji verde aioli that came with the Lomo Saltado. Service was good too despite the crowd. Only thing I would note is that, it would be nice if the restaurant offers limes instead of lemons, and Thai bird chilli instead of jalapeño to be served with the pho. Regardless, they made the flavour work with what they have. Will come back for more!“
“They Finally opened one closer to me. I've made the drive to ktown to CHD but Im in SD Thankfully i can make the drive up almost every weekend to OC for some of this good stuff. Love your dumplings and soups. Also great to be able to pickup frozen packs to take home and cook“
“My spouse and I went Asian kitchen because we were craving Pho. We both had their seafood udon and it was absolutely delicious! I also had a peach martini, and my spouse had a Japanese lager. Both were exceptionally delicious, as well! Our waitress, “Anita“ was a delight! She had a great sense of humor, and made the whole experience that much more fun and enjoyable. The environment is also super stylish! 5 STARS!!“
“We have picked up and dined in a couple times now and it was time to leave a review. The food taste fresh and not overly salty or saucy like other restaurants. The fried rice is delicious. We loved the egg rolls and the house beef. But the soup is killer. I'm obsessed with the sizzling rice soup. It is the best. Packed with veggies, the broth is so good and has this crunchy rice on top. So good especially if you are under the weather. My fiancé loves the sweet and sour soup as well. The Little Kitchen Asian Cafe has definitely become a staple in our house and highly recommend stopping in or grabbing it to go.“
“I am so hooked on the fresh noodles at Noodle St.! I think we just don't realize the difference between noodles that were being rolled and pulled right before they are tossed in boiling water and the dried noodles that we make at home, or that other places use.This Noodle St. didn't have the same variety as the one in Fullerton, but the Beef Noodle Soup didn't disappoint, and the Fried Calamari appetizer was spicy, crunchy, and chewy, served hot and delicious.I had the Iced Peach Black Tea with my ramen, and my wife had the Passion Fruit Green Tea. Both were sweet and went great with our meal.“

“I love this place. It's a small local spot with great service and great food. My favorite is the pad see ewe but I also love the combo pho. I've tried so many dishes here and you just can't go wrong. Vicky is fantastic and so friendly.“

“I would like to give a special thank you to Manuel thank you for your superior customer service going above and beyond to ensure I got the best service and quality of delicious food. The wait time for my fresh food was phenomenal. The restaurant was clean and Manuel greeted me with a smile, and welcomed me through moment I walked through the door. Thank you for making sure I got my birthday reward that really meant a lot to me. I highly appreciate you and recommend this establishment to who wants fresh good quality food excellent customer service and a clean atmosphere.“
“Lovely place. You can tell a lot of locals come for a good reason. The sushi is a very good quality, fresh. The Miso Soup is the best I've had in my life.The service was perfect. The ambience is fine it needs some upgrades but I'm fine with it. Good prices.All in all a good recommend.“
“We went there for my daughter's 25th birthday ? and wanted to try a new place..she always wants ? we usually go to a local place, but this one was about 20 minutes away but we'll worth the drive. Staff was very friendly and served us very quickly. We did all you can eat lunch, very reasonable but next time we will order less the 1st time, you get 3 times to order. Everything was fantastic. Coming back for sure. Thank you ?“
“I came here for lunch and ordered the stone bowl soup with beef ribs. I wish there was a pre-photo before i started eating... lol. It was really pretty and really good - i really enjoyed the enoki mushrooms, the beef was super tender... delicious. I took off one star because there wasn't alot of meat on the beef ribs. I would come again and try something new.“
“Came here for lunch to use a gift card, and overall thought the food was solid. The menu was straightforward and simple. Got the spring rolls and the Pho Tam Cali special. It was cool they let us try both the shrimp and BBQ pork. You can choose the peanut sauce or the house sauce. The spring rolls and sauce were solid, but nothing special. The pho was quite good! There was a good variety of meat in the Pho Tam Cali special. There didn't seem to be a lot of noodles, compared to other places, but that's ok for me since it's hard to eat a ton of noodles. The amount was just right for me. The place is small, and doesn't have the nicest ambiance. Service was quick.“
“I dined in recently for the first time and absolutely LOVED my experience. I think my server’s name was Kim, it was a young lady with the pretty tattoo on her neck. But she made me feel welcomed and comfortable after telling her I never been here before and didn’t rush me like other places. Her recommendations were great, my favorite was the Changs Spicy Chicken but get it extra spicy! And the shrimp dumplings are a must try! 10/10 for the food and service. I will be back soon!“
“We went on Easter Sunday and everything was delicious. The spice level guide on the menu is very helpful. Our server Lily was very friendly and helped us decide what to get, we had the half roast duck with pancake wraps, Dan Dan noodles, oxtail soup (not pictured) and mochi pieces for dessert. The duck was delicious and the Dan Dan noodles were perfect (I requested them mild). This place has a lot of options, it was hard to choose but we really enjoyed everything. The atmosphere is great as well, it’s decorated beautifully inside and we took a couple of photos because we thought it was so nice.“

“I wasn't real familiar with this kind of cuisine, but definitely had a great experience. Cold appetizer was delicious as was the seafood rice. Also got the braised beef soup, which was good as well. I'm not a big fan of noodle soups per se, but this was delicious and the beef was very very tender. Seafood fried rice was maybe the best I've ever had from very light and fluffy very flavorful the chili sauce at the table made it just an amazing flavor sensation.“
“Lots of mixed reviews, but don't knock it 'til you try it :)!Hungry and not wanting to leave the house, I decided to order delivery. Random fact: This is the 2nd time in my life where I've ordered food for delivery (other than pizza). For my food, I ordered their Pad Thai w/ Beef. I've been on a Pad Thai binge since I'm addicted to the flavor and the noodles. The dish normally has a tangy flavor to it which I like, and I also love the thin noodles that are used.How was it?Pad Tai w/ Beef: A warm delivery! So I suppose you can say I ate it while it was fresh. Opted for no bean sprouts or green onions because I don't like them with this dish. The thin noodles and flavor were just what I was looking for and expected. The beef, though there wasn't much, was pretty good. The noodles weren't long strands, they seemed to be cut shorter. I didn't mind this as it made it much easier to eat, and I was definitely not in the mood to twirl my noodles like spaghetti. I requested a medium spice level and it was perfect!The food arrived in a timely manner, no complaints there.I can't speak for the service as I didn't interact with anyone at the restaurant, but maybe next time I'll dine in to find out!“
“Randomly stumbled across this Korean restaurant when searching Korean food in Irvine. To my surprise the food and service are really good. It is not loud and a good place to eat with friends and family.We ordered the cold noodle, it is well balanced, with egg and beef slices. The noodle is chewy and I like the texture of it. It also comes with banchan such as fish cake, cabbage, kimchi, and more. We also try the ox tail soup, it is not salty but we have option to add salt into it to make it more salty. But it has huge bone flavor to it which I really like. Parking maybe a little difficult during lunch hours since the parking spots in front of the restaurant is limited, but there's more parking at the back.Server is friendly, although place is small, but it seems like a hearty place to eat. Price is affordable, will come back again!Parking: Sometimes parking in front is limited but there’s back parking“
“Well originally I didn’t like going to this place because the front person was not very friendly. However we decided to give this place another chance when they introduced their new spicy flavor. Now we either order it online or subversive will go and pick up our order because the new flavor is delicious. It has become our new work favorite.“
“This place is great, the food is good but on the pricey side. The staff is very nice and gave helpful info. The homemade kimchi was delightful, I recommend it. It's very versatile and fresh. It's located inside Niko Niko Sushi which is also a good place.“
“My son and I came in for the first time today. Very clean and a very nice woman taking the order. My son who absolutely loves Raising Canes really enjoyed his chicken bowl. I had the sweet and spicy chicken with brown rice and veggies and it was delish! Look forward to coming back soon, and bringing the rest of the family. Thank you for a great experience.“
“I just wanted to share my experience at your Lake Forest, CA location today. I have a food allergy to garlic, which prevents me from enjoying some of your tasty dishes. I placed my order with Caroline, who works at this location. I usually pick up my order from here 1-2 times a month. I ordered Mongolian Chicken, and luckily Caroline remembered that I have a garlic allergy. She held off on preparing the dish until I arrived and informed me of the garlic in the sauce which could not be removed from the dish. She kindly asked if they could substitute another item for my order that was garlic-free. I was amazed that someone would take such good care of their customers and go that extra mile! Caroline and the chef at this location went above and beyond to ensure that I avoided a long night of discomfort. They alerted me of the ingredients in the dish, and I am grateful for their attention to detail. Caroline and the chef on duty on 12/13 are truly superstars! Thanks to them, I had a wonderful experience at your restaurant. Thanks Caroline - Andrew C.“

“Apparently this joint is known for being busy & having to wait. We went on a Saturday evening (!!!) & just our luck we didn't have to be put on any wait list, we were able to walk right in & be seated right away. The seating inside is so limited so I was worried about the wait. It was our lucky day ! I ordered the chicken cutlet regular size level 2 spice, hubby got the same but large & with an omelette. We also got an order of karaage for an appetizer. The food came out fairly fast. The karaage was so good ! I have had my fair share of karaage & this had its own unique taste. It was juicy & the dip (I think it was kewpie) paired so well with the chicken. We gobbled up all the bites. At first glance the regular size chicken cutlet seems small & mediocre. I actually couldn't finish my plate as I got full & hubby had to finish for me. The medium grain rice was sticky but cooked to perfection. The breading on the chicken had a crunch & the chicken was tender & juicy !!! I could of ate a spicier curry but really was being cheap & didn't want to pay extra to up the heat level. I'd say if you're into spicy food level 2 is still very mild. Even though it was mild, i really enjoyed it !!! Very small complaints, why the shortage on napkins ?? I have a 10 month old & things get messy at the table. We only had one napkin & my hubby asked for more. We were given only 3 more. Plus curry is messy so don't be stingy on napkins ! Also wassup with the canned drinks ?? Fountain drinks always taste better than canned. Anyways we really enjoyed our meal & we would be back !“

“We love our lunches at Pick Up Stix. Especially when. Luis is there because he knows what we like and how we like it done. He is such an amazing employee and warm personality. We look forward to the nice hospitality and delicious food. We can't thank him enough for making our lunches great experiences, over and over.“
“Sometimes ordering food ahead over the phone can cause the employee to misunderstand your order if you have multiple modifications. Although they are very nice, it's better to order in person if you are ordering take out so you can ensure your order is rung up correctly. The modifications for my bowls despite being correct, were mixed up and in combination with the wrong toppings. Not a big deal, the food was still great and they are awesome taking orders right up until 9pm when they close no matter what! Overall decent service!“
“I have done enough fine dining in my life to take it for granted. I also own two businesses in food service and can often look at an item and know whether it was purchased from US Foods, Sysco, or Restaurant Depot. There are plenty of restaurants that serve frozen entrees, and the chef opens packaging and reads the prep label before plating it. Not here. Not at PF Chang’s. Their chef has real talent and the “back” (kitchen staff) do an extraordinary job…we have never been served a bad meal (and I’m a particular eater). They are consistently good, which isn’t as simple as it may seem.But today I am taking time to write a review because the service was so spectacular. It’s my youngest daughter’s 28th birthday and Michelle (our server) literally made it perfect. She was fast, accurate, predictive, professional and was neither hovering or out-of-sight. But in addition to providing superbly attentive service, it was her manner that made the difference. Truth be told…it had been a brutal day and we almost cancelled dinner because nobody was feeling “up for it.” We all suggested rescheduling (not one of us wanted to go) but it seemed kinda obligatory and so we dragged ourselves here. Thank God we did. Michelle’s bubbly personality lifted us all up out of our funk and before long we were all giggling and thoroughly enjoying ourselves…even Michelle seemed to be having fun. This girl fixed a horrible day and all it took was a genuine desire to please and the well-honed server skills only a restaurant veteran can appreciate. Michelle is a rare gem…she’s got the X Factor.The manager at PF Chang’s hires very well. His staff (both front & back) provided us an exemplary dining experience that is worthy of 10 stars. Do yourself a favor, go dine at PF Chang’s, play with items on the menu you never tried before and yeah…try some of the bartender’s specialty libations. Do it on a day when you’re down and stressed and need some simple Asian attitude therapy. The staff at PF Chang’s sets the customer care bar so high…other restaurant workers need to charter a plane just to see it. Tell em Bruce set you. You can thank me later. Thanks for saving the day Michelle.“
