50 Best Asian Restaurants near Santa Ana

“I absolutely love Kiazen Shabu! The food here is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and rich, flavorful broths that make every bite memorable. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly, always making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I especially appreciate how the owner often offers free alcohol to customers, adding that extra touch of hospitality. I first visited when they first opened a few years ago, and at that time, it wasn’t too busy. But with the incredible food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no surprise that Kiazen Shabu has become so popular. Now, it's always packed, so be prepared to wait, especially on weekends and during dinner hours – but trust me, it's worth it! I highly recommend trying most of their dishes; you won’t be disappointed. Kiazen Shabu is a must-visit for anyone who loves delicious food and top-notch service!“

“I ordered the chicken bowl and worried the chicken would be dry. It was delicious!!! The chicken was tender and marinated perfectly! The rice was cooked just right. This is the first time I feel like it was worth spending $20 for food at the airport!“

“This is the absolute best Thai food we have ever had. Don’t listen to the fake bad reviews. This place has authentic Thai food made by hard working Thai people. We have been coming here for a year and eat almost every week once or twice. We are surprised this place has such little reviews for the price and the quality it’s hard to match. We love Thai Way!“

“Food was delicious, had been looking for some great orange chicken and found it in addition to all their other food and recently there lemon tea which is delicious, great place and staff in addition to the food, look forward to trying their other dishes soon“

“🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Nothing fishy about this place. It's a small family run business. Blame covid for the price increases and there are sign posted to make you aware of the increase. it's the best food and most reasonable prices in town. if you cant afford a 11 dish then don't buy or complain about it. These reviews are for the food not whiners.“

“The grill fish is really good. We had the garlic style because we can’t eat spicy! The skin of the fish is crispy and does not have much bone. We also had the SiChuan cold noodle and it’s authentic. The restaurant pretty simple and clean. The server was nice and came by many time.“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Noodle St. did not disappoint. The garlic chicken appetizer was incredibly flavorful—perfectly cooked with a rich garlic punch that made it hard to stop eating. The Signature beef noodles with spicy paste were outstanding: tender beef, great noodle texture, and just the right level of heat to bring everything together without overpowering the dish.

On top of the great food, the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and efficient. Everything tasted fresh, well-balanced, and satisfying. Absolutely worth getting, and I’ll definitely be back.“

“Rolling Boil is amazing! Great staff, fun atmosphere! Food is fantastic!“

“Poke Island is our favorite go to place for poke as they are clean, fresh, fast service. A bonus is they also have boba milk and fruit teas.“

“Had the best experience last night amazing fresh fish and ice cold beer! It was my first time and I will be going back a lot more had a great time getting to chat with the owner and it really gives that family community vibe that we all hope for when we dine at a restaurant I give it a 5 star experience!“

“Amazing! I had the peppered “steak” sandwich and it tasted so good! The zesty fries are super yummy. I also order the philly cheese melt to go and that was also so delicious. Vegan sandwiches are so underrated! You can also buy some of the sauces! Staff was so nice!“

“We checked out this place for the first time and were not disappointed. Everything on the menu sounded so enticing that we decided to order a variety of items to try—wings, pot stickers, udon noodles, bulgogi plate, and chicken katsu (don’t judge me ?). The spicy wings and pot stickers definitely packed a punch! The bulgogi plate was incredibly flavorful. You won’t be disappointed—definitely give this place a try!“

“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!“

“Small place, but deceptively good. The food was on point and our waitress was nice, helpful and attentive. Will definitely eat here again when I am this way.“

“A place I'm not sure I expected to find myself in, but when hunger and mood strike, we found this to be closest. It is a quaint spot, and the woman who served us was welcoming. I was surprised by the composition of the food. It looked delicious and spectacular. I ordered the Salmon with Garlic Noodles, and was impressed with how flavorful it all was. I dare say, a little too flavorful at times. I look forward to coming back.“

“Went to a celebration of life and food is not normally to this quality. It was so good and well presented. I had to ask where it came from. When they told me it was prepped by love, I remembered them from another event that I had the same reaction with different food offering. No matter what they make, it taste and looks great. Awesome caterer 👊❤️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had the best experience at Tabu Shabu! I sat out on the patio with my dog and it was absolutely perfect—comfortable, welcoming, and such a great vibe. I ordered a glass of wine and started with the cucumber appetizer and edamame, both super fresh and full of flavor. The highlight was the salmon bowl with rice…so delicious, perfectly cooked, and so satisfying. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and they made me (and my pup!) feel totally at home. I think everyone came out at some point to visit with me and my pup. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, a relaxing atmosphere, and a dog-friendly spot for a drink and apps (cant do hotpot outside, but still worth it).“

“There teriyaki is the best in my opinion i moved buy when i come to oc i have to have one of these“

“Absolutely amazing! Poki Poki in Huntington Beach is my new favorite spot! The food was perfect! Super fresh, flavorful, and made just how I like it. The service was so kind and welcoming, you can really tell they care about their customers.“

“The best poke I've ever eaten. Poke Tiki-Newport has it's own very unique flavor not found anywhere else. Definitely one of my favorite places I have to visit everytime I'm in town.“

“Nicely flavored wings. I ordered the fish sauce glazed wings, original garlic wings, and shrimp garlic noodles. The garlic wings and garlic noodles were great.

The fish sauce wings are exceptional. Nice umami flavor, cripsy, good size. Haven't had any wings like them before, very addicting. Will definitely order again.“

“The Best of the West 👍👍 🍻🍻“

“Super tasty 😋😋😋. Perfect for winter and cold rainy day.“

“We just had our mandatory Hmart food court date this weekend and tried out KZ Mori. For $19 we got the Mix Katsu Combo with Curry served on the side. The tray came with miso soup, cabbage salad and katsu sauce! Pickled radishes were at the counter for self service as well! We were there late afternoon so the wait for food was quick, about 10 minutes before our order was done. Portions are huge, we ended up sharing the entree between the two of us! Light batter on the katsu slices, with such a good crunch to each bite! The chicken tasted a tad juicier than the pork but overall each bite was a great compliment to the curry! Definitely a great stop for a good deal and a great lunch!“

“Literally the best food around! pork vermicelli and fried tofu! their pho! everything is top tier !!!!! we moved to oregon and miss this food so much haha! the best! hands down!“

“Favori is one of my favorite restaurant. The restaurant is spacious, nice decor, clean, great service. Came after lunch hour, restaurant was not too busy, we ordered quite a bit, foods came out fast, most dishes were delicious. BBQ pork was tendered, moist, tumeric fish little overcooked, love the shrimp paste on sugar cane, it was excellent, i dont eat rare beef but their rare beef salad was very good. I would recommend to everyone.“

“The spot is located on the premises of the Garden Grove Home Depot. They have three tables set up right by their spot with a total of seven chairs.

The staff, which included a man and a woman were nice.

I had the beef teriyaki bowl and I was surprised it was so delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection, the teriyaki sauce was not too rich in consistency or watery, and not overwhelmingly sweet, it was perfect. The rice had the perfect texture too. 5/5

I also had a corn dog and it was the first thing I ate. Hehe he, I was pretty hungry. It was indeed better than other corn dogs I've had.
3.5/5

I also witnessed a belligerent woman who was being so rude and disrespectful to the staff and the staff remained calm and very respectful after the woman was making all sorts of rude comments. Props to them for handling the situation with the utmost professionalism and respect despite the way they were being mistreated.

Overall, I had a positive experience with some delicious beef teriyaki and I'll be going for more. If you have not visited them I highly recommend you do.“

“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.“

“Houston Location: We arrived at our reservation and waited 10 minutes for the hostess. Once seated, we were uninstructed on how to order. Sushi chefs explained the process. Our waiter arrived 10 minutes after, taking our drink order. The app arrived before the waters, followed by the drinks after we ordered and received the sushi. The manager noticed us looking for our waiter but was often in the corner on his phone or socializing with the hostess. The sushi chefs were also on their phones while making the sushi, which was unhealthy. Despite the germy seasoning, the food was amazing.“

“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“

“The bill was $168 for 4 dishes+2 beers+ 1 hot tea pot + 1 hot water pot. We had 4 people for dinner. The ripped off is $20 for the 1 hot tea + 1 water pot(charge $5 per person). The manager credited back only 1 time favor(not second time in the future) of $10 for hot water pot after i complained that we ordered 2 beers for drink. It was ridiculous since a bottle of beer only $3. We will not go back to this place again. New customers please stay away from this restaurant. This restaurant's food is not that good and ripped off.“

“I still don't understand how a white man could open such a healthy and delicious Chinese restaurant! The flavours are so good, his dumplings are made of chicken, and although they are very delicately made, it's hard to tell they are made of chicken. The service is always warm and attentive, reflecting the excellent culture of the staff at this restaurant.“

Note: There is a restroom area nearby!

“Wonderful place! Staff is super friendly. I got a regular bowl with salmon and purple rice. The sauce was really good and the selection of toppings and fish. Highly recommend of you like poké

Vegetarian options: Its mostly fish so great for pescatarians but not for vegans.

Parking: Plenty of parking spots

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp up to the door of the restaurant and the inside is pretty open too.“

“My picky 5-year-old niece loved it here. She can eat an entire bowl of udon, which she has never done before. It means that the restaurant is quite good.
The only thing I don't like about this place and rarely come back is that they only accept cash and I'm cashless.“

“Friday 4th of July Lunch at Chao Nieu 35 with my sister. Ordered 2 dozen oysters Vietnamese style sauces and escargot butter garlic sauce and filet mignon with glass noodles. Delicious and great price for $1 oyster.

Service staffs were nice and friendly however very limited in English. Be sure to bring your own translator.

“My partner and I decided to order a quick grab & go after our workout. We wanted to find something healthy. It was around 10pm, and we found this ghost kitchen that served many foods from different restaurants.

Parking: This ghost kitchen is located in a lot. It looks a bit sketchy, but fear not. Free parking, but finding a spot can be difficult. It’s super busy, and I noticed there were a lot of food delivery workers going in n out.

Environment: It’s a very small space. No dine in. There are lockers to the right where you’d pick up your food when it’s ready. We didn’t place an order online, so we ordered through the kiosk. I don’t think they take cash. Everything seems contactless.

Service: We didn’t speak to anyone. It was self order, and we waited for our food. We were texted when our order was ready. Throughput was under 10 minutes.

What we ordered: I ordered the chicken rice & cabbage bowl, and my partner ordered the protein lover rice & cabbage bowl and a coconut green smoothie. I really liked my bowl! The multi grain rice paired well with all the toppings, chicken, and sauce. The cabbage was fresh and not soggy. Careful for the sesame seeds, it might get stuck to your teeth lol. I’d prefer a bit more chicken, but other than that, I enjoyed it. I also tried my partner’s bowl. His bowl definitely had a lot of protein! It was all delicious! The toppings were similar to my bowl. I did not try his coconut green smoothie bc I don’t like coconut, but I’m assuming he liked it since it was gone in 5 seconds.

Pricing: The chicken rice & cabbage bowl was $11.95, the protein lover rice & cabbage bowl was $15.65, and the coconut green smoothie was $5.95. I’d say it’s worth its price. The bowls left us fulfilling, and we enjoyed everything.“

“I love duck, chicken & all kind of dim sum, so when will you open this store at Riverside / Corona Co. > so I don't need drive far to Orange Co.“

“good spot 2 easy and enjoy fierce gud times moments with good Ole folks yyeesss“

“Great service, My friends and I come from Germany, and our English is so so, most of this I had to use Google Translate. However, there was a kind young lady who was able to help us in German with a name something along the lines of Jessi, and she was very helpful, especially for my friends who can't really speak English well. So I wanted to give credit, and the food was great.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“Best pho I’ve tasted in garden grove, the broth alone has so much flavor! I get the beef pho it’s about 13 dollars, the serving size is pretty big. The service is always friendly and welcoming every time I go and the atmosphere is even better there’s more food shops around that offer desserts or drinks so you could satisfy every craving!!“

“A hidden boba shop that just happens to serve pho and other food options. They don't specialize in pho and only have one variety (prime rib pho), but it slaps and is jam packed with meat! Only 10 bux and comes with a free small drink of your choice.

Unfortunately I had to deduct a star for lack of consistency. The pho ranges from amazing to just average, and I suspect it depends on the time of day. Try to come in the mornings.“

“The room is very spacious and the food is very good. This restaurant is in a plaza so there is a lot of parking for cars. The waiter is very fun and lively to talk to. The interesting part about this restaurant is that there is a karaoke stage for those who wants to sing in front of the restaurant so definitely recommend to bring friends along for karaoke dinner party. 10/10 would come back here again“
