“Kaizen Shabu is honestly such a vibe. First off, the food is AMAZING. The Shabu broth is so flavorful ? I’ve been craving this place so much it’s ridiculous. The servers are also all so friendly and knowledgeable about all the different food / drink choices. The vibe is always really fun as well. I highly recommend this spot!“
“The food here is absolutely delicious! I had the house special shrimp and it was delightful. The breading was perfect, shrimp tasted fresh and the sauce was really good. My grandpa had the orange chicken and he really enjoyed it, I had a piece as well and it was fresh and crisp. My wife had the Beef Pho and it was soooo tasty. Definitely some of the best pho we have had. The owner of the location helped us pick wjat yo get, and was very helpful from start to finish. It is a family owned restaurant so totally get some TLC. The ambience us great, pretty spacious with very cool fish tanks as well. If you are in the area, I suggest you give this spot a try, you won't regret it.“

“Everything from the entrance to seating, vibe /music & of course food. Everyone has been so friendly & attentive & the food is fresh, savory & delicious. Feels like we're visiting friends. We'll definitely be coming by more.“
“Have been to several Loving Huts and this location is by far my favorite! The cashier/manager? and his family are very nice. The food is delicious and the store was relatively quiet, which I prefer, so I can have a conversation with the others in my group.“
“Came in with no expectation and left with tastebuds and wallet happy!I had reservations about coming here due to the name that sounds like it caters to the same Panda Express crowd. However, after some vetting and missing our old chinese Noodle house that closed down, we decided to give this place a try. What drew us in was the lunch specials. Duh, savings of any kind makes the food taste even better. We ordered from the lunch menu:-$13 kung pao chicken 4.5 stars!-$14 ginger fish 4.0 stars! (lunch special $12.99 + $1 for fish)They were busy with 2 large orders for catering but they managed to get our food out in a timely fashion. Although I do want to mention it took the server awhile before she came back to our table to grab our order. Poor girl, she was running back and forth. I appreciate the effort!So my ginger fish, really good and not too salty. They fried the fish pieces and than sauteed in a soy type sauce. I loved how crunchy and how the fish was super tender. For my side I wanted soup but they haven't made it yet. Luckily they're so good we'll definitely be back to try the soup. Lover's kung pao chicken was even better! Although it got pretty salty after a couple of bites. Going back and forth between the ginger and kung pao chicken was a perfect balance. It's worth mentioning going back for that hit of chicken always catches me off guard with how much umami flavor it carried. I want to say it tasted like *ahem msg, BUT the menu clearly states NO MSG. That's how good it was! I love everything about this restaurant so far and will definitely be back soon. A tip for parking: Super tight small parking located in the same plaza as Oli Boli donuts. You can't see it but go further back and there's more parking behind the restaurant. Do go during non peak hours. Winner winner chicken dinner!“
“Sushi offering was spectacular. There's an area where you could eat your purchased food so it's a nice place for lunch or dinner. Supermarket wasn't super big but you could get all your essentials. I really liked the Japanese snacks and candies.“
“Comfort food!! Delicious variety of soups and garlic noodles! The garlic noodles were packed with flavor and the green sauce that came with it was AMAZING! I like my soup hot so it was nice to have it boiling and you’re able to request it to turn off at anytime. I also love the dipping sauces. Service was AMAZING! Everyone was so friendly and we even got some milk tea at the end of our meal??“
“i was looking for somewhere to treat my girlfriend for our anniversary and this place did not disappoint. we were seated immediately and the server accommodated all of our requests. my girlfriend and i are both introverts but it was really helpful how our server was able to give us food recommendations right off the bat without us having to ask. i had the black dragon and black widow, my girlfriend had the salmon and we enjoyed it alot. if we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely stop by for the quality food and service. major thank you to our server, we forgot her name but she had blonde hair and was very helpful!“
“We often go pair Tabu Shabu with a wine tasting at Hi-Times, especially because we have someone with Celiac disease in our party and they are very aware of gluten allergies and are able to accomodate accordingly. The service is wonderful; the staff and always friendly and attentive.I also appreciate the cleanliness of their bathroom!The wait isn't too bad if you go at the right times.The only wish I have would be that the meat portions be a bit bigger.“
“Came after recommended by a co-worker. Was looking to a legit Korean food place near my new office in Santa Ana. This is the spot! Got their Bibimbap and it was literally the best I have tasted. My wife who is Korean gets them all the time and I can tell you this place makes the best. I really love how it is family ran and the sweet Korean lady and Korean man work here. I feel like I am in a Korean home. The best part is I got to practice my Korea language with the Korean lady and she chuckled. I hope that was a good sign that I'm learning! Anyway if your in the area please come support this place it will truly be worth it!“
“Exceeded expectations here. First time at this location and was blown away by the food. Got three egg sandwiches on round bread, buy 2 get one free. Sooo good! Toasted with cucumbers, daikon, cilantro, fresh jalapenos with a little added soy sauce and special mayonnaise like sauce. Really like the fact that it's toasted and it has cucumbers, unlike some other banh mi places I've tried. Vietnamese coffee and soy bean drinks and service were excellent as well. We will be back. Less than $4.50 per sandwich is a phenomenal deal!“

“Best noodle bowl I've ever eaten! Highly recommend! There was a line to wait but it moved quickly. You use the app to order and the food is served very quickly. My only down score about the atmosphere is that it's a small restaurant but other than that it's great food and great service!Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly food and provided silverware for my daughter who is still learning to use chopsticks“
“I am a big fan of the Spicy Tuna and Spicy Salmon. Me and my crew stopped here Thursday for lunch and it was delicious. I got a Spicy Tuna bowl. Fresh made tuna with a great taste. Place is inexpensive place. Great staff and food. I will be a regular.“
“Stepping into DD Cafe, I was greeted with the the warm smile of Jasmine behind the counter. The staff here are incredibly friendly, exemplifying excellent customer service. They listen to every order, take time to answer questions, and ensure each drink is crafted to the customer's preferences. The ladies usually remember regulars' names and usual orders, making everyone feel like a valued member of the DD Cafe community. The atmosphere is laidback, lively, and inviting. The owner Darlene has created such a stellar service and welcoming ambience keep customers coming back again and again.“
“Came by on a weekday night about 30 minutes til closing time. The dining area was closed off for dine-in (Togo only). Had the 2-Protein choice and had the Tuna and Salmon with all of the toppings along with a splash of Yuzu Citrus. Overall it was a decent meal in terms of taste but the portion sizes were a bit small.“
“Had an absolutely amazing time here. Celebrated a coworkers going away party here and loved every minute. The establishment and ambiance themselves are immaculate and the food and drinks were incredible. The layout is perfect and conducive to an excellent time for watching sports or singing karaoke. Will absolutely be coming back to enjoy Cutie Lounge“
“This is the best Poke spot on this side of HB. Clean, friendly, fresh and the Vietnamese coffee is great! We also love the boba and the hot egg rolls. I'm not sure what changed, but this place is much better now! Rivals Poke Tiki in Costa Mesa for sure.“
“The House Special Fish Filet is very good. I like the orange chicken more than most places as it wasn't overcooked as I hate when places over fry it to chewiness, it was tender here. I liked the green beans as well the Kung Pao. Its' outsides are under construction but the inside looks fine.“
“Really excellent and reasonably priced Thai food. Got the yellow curry and pad Thai and both were super flavorful and fresh.Spice levels were a bit overstated and I could have definitely tolerated a little more spice but really great overall.“
“Monique was great at customer service. She was very busy!! Despite being busy she made me feel valued and explained everything I asked. She didn’t rush me or my family and improvised very well. She also re made my drink with no hesitation. I could tell her team didn’t want to but she made it happen. She deserves more respect from them. I would recommend and come back. I didn’t try the food but it looked and smelled great. If they made my drink right the first time I would’ve rated a 5 star. Also they ran out of Boba and avocado drink which I was looking forward to, but like I said it was busy and towards the evening night time.“
“It's one of my top choices for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. They are famous with "Nui Xào Bò". But my favorite food here is "Banh My Xiu Mai + Fried egg". This place is better than the original one that is next to it as it's a non-smoking area so it's easier to breathe here.“
“The debate I have every week is should I stick to my reliable eateries or try a new place. Well it's time to take one for the team again. This place used to be Bun Bo Hue Công Lý and now offers a numbers of Vietnamese dishes. When you look at the menu with so many dishes you can't help but wonder if any of them is their specialties. The waitress suggested we tried cơm niêu, cá kho niêu and gỏi gà lòng trứng non. I also ordered cháo lòng and ca tím nướng. The low down: Cơm niêu (and all the niêu dishes come in metal niêu not clay pots) does give you the crispy rice in the bottom of the pot so that's a plus. Ca kho tasted a little weird and I think that's from the popular Vietnamese hot sauce (they tend to put that in a lot of dishes in Vietnam). I didn't taste the caramelized goodness of fish sauce,sugar and pepper. When it comes to cá kho tộ Thành Ðô or Quán Hương can take this place to school. Gỏi gà (which the waitress strongly recommended) was too sour. I might be wrong but this is the taste of miền trung VN cuisine. Southern Vietnamese dishes usually have the sweetness to balance the sourness. When I asked for some dipping sauce the owner brought me lime,salt and black pepper sauce. Basically it was white onions,chicken innards, rau răm plus the dressing made of salt,pepper and lime. Needless to say that was not what I expected. The grill eggplant was decent but the smoke flavor from the gas grill (not charcoal) was overwhelming. The cháo lòng was ok and you can find better nearby. I don't want to give any business especially the new one less than 5 stars but this place doesn't deserve that excellent rating. I will give this place another try and I sincerely hope they will improve I order to do well because around here good enough is not good enough.“
“Dined with a coworker. Got a small bowl and a drink, cost about $18.Many protein options and the poke sauce is not to be missed. You can add as many toppings as you like and the bowl is super filling, you could squeeze two meals out of it.The location is convenient but parking lot small and could be tough to find a spot during the lunch rush.Staff were friendly and helpful. Coke branded soda fountain.Parking: Small lot, tight cornersKid-friendliness: Unless your kid eats poke not much else in the way of options“
“First time trying Bonchon. I came right when they opened so there was no wait. The guy who took my to go order explained the different flavors. My husband wanted to order the combo half soy garlic, half spicy. Good thing the guy warned me that spicy is really spicy. So I ended up ordering a few spicy strips for my husband. For the combo, I ordered soy garlic and the new flavor (I forgot what it is called but it's less spicy). The chicken was crispy even after a ten minute drive home. My family thought the soy garlic was the best. I tasted the spicy chicken and it was super spicy for me. It left an aftertaste in my mouth for a while. Their kimchi and radish were alright. Nothing special. Overall, I would come back, but next time only order the wings. The drumstick meat was a bit tasteless after you eat the skin.“
“Craving Thai food and this place was close and open. Only food available to go right now which was fine with me. Ordered vegetable pad thai. Took a few minutes but it was hot and good and a good size portion. I will be coming back when I'm in the neighborhood.“
“I think the fact that there was no wait contributes to the food and experience.Would I wait more than 30 minutes or longer? NoFood was tasty. Turnip cake was different. It was more of a custard texture than firm. Shumai and har gow were standard.“
“Service was quick and friendly, food was amazing. I'd give 10 stars if I could. Even after moving to LA finding Nem Nuong hasn't been easy and the fact that this place has several kinds makes it a must visit for me when I'm in the mood. It's worth the drive for me, especially since parking is easy.“
“I thoroughly enjoy this restaurant so much!!! Everyone I have brought to eat here has either become a full fledged customer themselves, or if not from the area, they have enjoyed it as much as my wife and I have. The service has ALWAYS been very minimal, but you are there to eat good food in a beach community, your not eating at the 4 Seasons. That said, if you need service, sit at the bar area, it will allow you to get there attention easier, and get more water, or whatever you required.“
