“I was here on a rainy day last week and can say how this lab curated the most nourishing pho broth I’ve ever tasted! Ever in the Huntington Beach area? Give it a try! Lifted my mood and gave my body back some life. The banh mi was also great - fresh crunchy bread with a soft inside filled with freshly cooked yummies! Enjoy 👩🏻‍🍳“

“Best pho I ever tasted. I always get all the meat, tendon, and tripe and the portions were generous. The gau (fatty brisket) was especially amazing. Broth is great, service fast, just overall incredible. I came twice with my kids during our 3-day vacation. Next to In-n-Out, it's our only must-do when in SoCal. Never mind if there is a line or parking limited- it moves fast and is worth any wait.“

“It is the best Thai street food in Town. The best Sevice, Friendly Stuff and best Chef. I ordered Crab fried rice, Ku Moo Yang, and crispy belly Kra pow, Banana Grandma, Meatloaf salad. And Mango sticky Rice. They were good like the name of the restaurant! Say Yum! I recommend!!“

“Was looking forward to trying their Noodles & Tempura and finally did yesterday for the first time. And I’m back today. Marugame Udon has created a new raving fan. I’m a a big fan of the food and the people that work there. Jensen was super helpful guiding me through the menu options. His cheerful smile was only topped by his knowledge and willingness to help his customers get the best meal and help his coworkers provide great service. I enjoyed my experience and came back today to try the #5 on his recommendation.“

“A very good and authentic Vietnamese food, the crispy shrimp pancake (banh Xeo) is a must try dish, the housemade chili oil is fragrance, bun thit nuong cha gio is a hit. Good service and Jenny the owner of the restaurant is very friendly and give good recommendation. We’ll definitely be back again with friends.“

“Great food. I'll definitely be back!“

“Great spot for pho and noodles. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tastes fresh. The broth is rich and flavorful you can tell it’s been cooking for hours.

The staff is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend trying the garlic noodles and the spring rolls they’re a perfect combo.

Overall, really good food, good value, and a place I’d come back to again.“

“Service is wonderful. Everyone is friendly. It’s like going to my Obason’s to have dinner. Everything about this place is authentically Okinawan. Oishī“

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a warm atmosphere. If you’re looking for delicious Thai and Lao food, I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Koco’s Sushi has been special to me from the very beginning. When I first moved to the area, it quickly became my go-to spot, the kind of place that feels familiar, comforting, and consistently good every time. The sushi is always fresh, beautifully made, and full of flavor, but what really stands out is the experience.

The owner is truly one of a kind—always greeting you with a warm smile and making you feel right at home. That genuine kindness and welcoming energy makes every visit feel personal, not just like another meal out.

My boyfriend and I’s best dates have been here, sharing rolls like the TNT and Fuego with spicy sauce, and just enjoying the atmosphere. It’s one of those places that naturally creates special memories.

During my pregnancy, I had to stay away from sushi, and honestly, Koco’s was one of the things I missed the most. After I gave birth, it was the very first meal I wanted—and it did not disappoint. That first bite was everything I had been craving and more.

Koco’s isn’t just a sushi spot to me—it holds memories. From new beginnings to big life moments, it’s been there through it all. If you’re looking for fresh sushi, amazing service, and a place that truly makes you feel welcome, this is it.“

“Really great noodle restaurant in Los Angeles! I love Chinese Bamboo Spicy Noodle Soup. Oh my god! It hit me home whenever I tried it! would highly recommend the restaurant! They really have authentic Chinese noodle soup which you cannot find anywhere else. I always go there when I am in LA.“

“My teenagers and I had the Motto Black, the Motto Red, and the Motto Special. All bowls were tasty and delicious. Noodles were fresh and the chaschu melted in your mouth. Staff was super friendly and attentive. I would recommend as a casual and family friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back again.“

“It was yummy and fast. Everything was fresh and clean“

“Excellent food and very friendly service. One of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants now ! Definitely recommend 😊“

“Moc Kitchen never disappoints! The pho is flavorful, the fried rice is delicious, and the egg rolls are always crispy and fresh. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of parking. Everything feels clean, welcoming, and well taken care of. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Santa Ana and a place I always recommend to friends and family.“

“Food was so delicious recommended for who hasn’t tried it , and great service as well my first time. I would come back, but I’m too far. I’m from San Antonio Texas. Thumbs up 👍 👍“

“Cool decor! Built by owner! Must visit! Have your espresso here!“

“Food here tastes really authentic, like proper home-style flavors, not watered down at all. Portions are solid and the price, for the US, feels very fair, tbh kind of rare around here. Seasoning is on point, you can actually taste the spices, not just salt. Staff moves fast but still friendly, casual vibe, nothing fancy, just comfortable. Strongly recommending this place to anyone who cares more about flavor than decor, works for me.“

“Good place for lunch and dinner“

“My Vietnamese coworker took me here recently. Had the Crab and Shrimp Udon (#2) - OMG it was AMAZING. Very tasty, packed with seafood, and broth was awesome. He got the Pork and Beef bowl (#1) and said really good too. Would return.“

“Good food, good price and friendly servers. Family own. Recommend this restaurant when you want to have noodles soup for your meal.“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“I don’t claim to be a connoisseur in Asian cuisine. I do like fresh, variety, spices, sauces and appreciate courteous efficient service. My second visit. Was not disappointed. The wait to be seated is long. Would not have waited but one person in our group was visiting from out of state and insisted.“

“Authentic thai restaurant. Staffs are from that country. Goid, clean food and restaurant. Ordered papaya salad, pineapple rice, sticky rice and dumplings.
All good quality. Good for families and company luncheon and dinner. Reasonably price.“

“After visiting the OC/LA area, we're on the way back to the Bay Area, we wanted to have some lunch before we go. Some of the restaurant closed on Monday, one our friends recommended this place for real excellent egg noodles soups, so we stopped by, it's right next to PLT the big VN shopping center.
There's no parking for this restaurant, the whole block has a few parking spots and there's parking on the PLT but always full. We had to park outside on a different shopping center.
The restaurant is small and simple, clean. The owner or the care taker seems to be extremely friendly and attentive sitting us on a table.
The menu has quite a few dishes, but we're concentrating on egg noodle soup for lunch so we ordered the special bowl of rice noodles instead of egg noodles. It's quite good, quite tasty with chinese crispy donuts.
We had a great lunch and the price is extremely inexpensive. Ready to drive home.“

“I had a light dinner of super delicious, fresh sashimi salad and miso soup. Both were wonderful. Good food must make you happy, because all of the staff and the customers at the sushi bar were very sweet and friendly. I will definitely go back.“

“The bar is extremely slow, they can do better to have more bar tenders to support the restaurant flow. One that can also multi-task, to help flex up or down depending on the evening. The server did not bring our drinks for 15-20 min...that part was not a great experience and it was for 4 drinks. Other than that it was excellent - food is consistently good, the prices are good, and the presentation is great.“

“I loved their egg rolls the past 15 years I would have given them 5 stars but today the skin was very hard not crunchy so 4 stars are good too. The congee’s were always good. Unfortunately they only take cash I just got back fr a long trip, I had to raid my wallet n my husband wallet to be able to pay as I still have a lot of foreign money!
They are known for their fish too but I’m not a fan of fish.“

“1. The Hu Tieu is delicious and comforting! I love the veggies that came with it!
2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior is spacious!
3. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in about 10 mins!
Note: There is a fee for credit card charges!

“This place has my favorite chicken dishes. When I’m feeling like I need something with broth, I’m going for the pho ga. When I’m feeling for some rice, I pick the com ga chien ( fried chicken rice). They have many other great dishes as well. If you’re in the area, stop by and dine . You won’t be disappointed.“

“Went on a Monday afternoon. Plenty of parking and plenty seating. I ordered the beef with green onion and shrimp chow mein. Both dishes came out piping hot and fresh! The shrimp in the chow mein was perfectly cooked and did not have a fishy taste to it. The beef in the beef with green onion was seasoned well. Well done. I will definitely be going again!“

“Service was top notch -extremely nice and informative on menu. Food was ridiculous good I recommend the grapefruit salad with chicken“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Papa K in California and it was such a great experience! The Egyptian food is absolutely delicious – authentic, flavorful, and feels just like home. 😋 The portions are very generous, and the prices are really affordable, which makes it even better. The service was excellent; the staff were so kind, welcoming, and always smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Egyptian cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ زرت مطعم Papa K في كاليفورنيا وكانت تجربة أكثر من رائعة! الأكل المصري عندهم لذيذ جدًا – طعمه أصيل ومليان نكهات وكأنك في مصر بالظبط. 😋 كمان كميات الأكل كبيرة جدًا والأسعار مناسبة وفي متناول اليد، وده بيخلي التجربة أحلى وأحلى. الخدمة ممتازة؛ الموظفين في منتهى اللطف والترحاب، ودايمًا بيستقبلوا بابتسامة، وده بيخلي الجو دافي ومريح. بجد أنصح أي حد عايز يجرب الأكل المصري الأصيل إنه يزور المكان، وأنا أكيد هرجع تاني ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“One if the best Pho's in the area hands down. The broth is VERY hot which i love. Ive had the chicken, beef, and shrimp pho and all are consistenly good. The noodles are firmer than most places but it works well since the soup is very hot and the noodles don't turn to mush.“

“Great food going back for more soon 🫂“

“Been here for years! Great pho, great prices, friendly staff, clean seats, good number of parking slots. The regular bowl is filling enough for me. Goes well with the hot tea pot. Love coming here after visiting Disneyland because this place is open 24/7!“

“Came for dinner. Very friendly mom and pop place. We were greeted as soon as we stepped in. Before our orders came out staff brought out an appetizer/dessert that was complimentary. It was a tofu pudding dessert that was lightly sweetened and perfect as a light snack. Had Bun Bo Hue with beef bone. There were lots of meat in our soup bowl. All the meats were tender and delicious. The broth was seasoned well. Good place to go for Hue style noodle soup. When we finished and left we were waved very friendly goodbye. Makes the meal more enjoyable.“

“Hokkaido Ramen Santouka has been one of my favorite ramen spots for over a decade, and after all these years, they still never fail when it comes to taste, consistency, and quality. Even after moving away from Southern California, every time I come back to visit, this is one of the first places I crave for pure nostalgia and comfort.

What makes Santouka so special is how incredibly consistent they are. The broth tastes exactly the same every single time you order it — rich, balanced, deeply flavorful, and clearly made with care and precision. That level of consistency over so many years is something truly rare and deserves respect. You can tell they take pride in preserving the authenticity and standards of traditional Japanese ramen.

The noodles always have the perfect texture, the chashu is tender and flavorful, and every bowl feels thoughtfully prepared. Nothing feels rushed or careless. Even when busy, the wait is usually reasonable and the quality never drops.

There is a reason Santouka has built such a loyal following. It is not just ramen — it is reliability, craftsmanship, and comfort in a bowl. The chefs and staff deserve so much credit for maintaining such a high standard for so many years. Places like this are hard to find nowadays.

If you want authentic ramen done right with consistency that keeps people coming back for decades, Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is absolutely worth it every single time.“

“Really nice place with some yummy food! Especially the avocado volcano!!“

“Food is excellent! Customer service is outstanding!“

“We love the Chicken Pho. The flavor is wonderful. It’s delicious and filling. The prices are good and the people who work there are friendly 💕“
