44 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!“

“this is my favorite place to get thai food...

i got the pad see ew with chicken for $10.95... weighed about ~20oz... pad see ew is my favorite thai dish... i always get it... it's good, especially for the price... it has noodles, chinese broccoli, chicken, and egg...

i also tried the thai style omelette for $8.95... weighed about ~14 oz... t's just some rice topped with a fried egg... the egg is fluffy and salted to taste very good... but for ~$9, it is a bit overpriced...

overall, this place is cheaper than other thai places, but for $10 per pound of food, it is still pretty expensive...“

“Great little hidden gem of a resturaunt. food is always delicious with plenty of options to suit just about anyone's tastes. owners are very nice and do a wonderful job managing and maintaining the quality of food. atmosphere is more of a modern Cafe feel than traditional of the culture and the fox theme is absolutely adorable. I highly recommend if you are in the area and looking for a nice little place with traditional flavors and modern twists. We will be returning again soon to done among the foxes!“

“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.“

“Went down there from Sacramento visiting relatives. Google search and found this restaurant near the hotel I'm staying. I was very pleased with their services. Pho was amazingly delicious. The beef was tender and delicious highly recommend“

“🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

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

“Ordered this for delivery and it was some of the most delicious cashew chicken I’ve ever had! The only down side is it didn’t let me select fried rice as my side when ordering through Uber Eats.. we tried orange chicken, potstickers etc. all of it was just so perfect. We WILL be coming back again!“

“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!“

“I came to Tabu Shabu on a Friday right before happy hour ended, and they were kind enough to still honor it—great service! This spot has been hyped a lot, and I’d say it’s worth the visit, especially with the happy hour discount. Without it, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality makes up for it.

I ordered the lamb and beef, both of which were flavorful and satisfying. The highlight was definitely the service of turning my leftover hot pot into porridge—it made for a delicious and hearty late-night meal. It’s a lot of food, so you definitely get your fill.

Overall, a solid spot for hot pot if you’re looking for good quality and unique offerings. Definitely recommend catching happy hour if you can!“

“The spicy beef noodle is highly recommended and it did not disappoint! The meat is really tender and juicy, the noodles are chewy, and the broth is fantastic! It’s also a big serving, so you must come with an empty stomach and a big appetite!

You can see the chef preparing the noodles and they are made fresh!

I also like the lamb skewers. The meat is tender and packed with flavor!

The staff are really friendly and accommodating as well. They’re very attentive and check on people if they need anything.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We enjoyed the small hole in the wall atmosphere and all 10 of us found the dishes to be quite good! prices were around $10-15 but portion sizes varied a lot. i found my spicy noodle sizing to be a bit small for $13.

restroom was also in the rear of the building so you had to walk around back which felt unsafe at night and weird to be in the kitchen. also restroom had a very strong scent“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came in here a couple days ago, and it was a great visit! The wagyu selection as well as quality is superb, little more on the pricey side but 100% worth it. The service is top-notch, and the ambience is upscale but still relaxed, perfect for any occasion. The A5 wagyu is hands down the best, and the appetizers are great too. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves good food and great experiences. 10/10 would definitely come back! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 was very much pleasantly surprised upon walking in. The atmosphere and variety of menu items felt more like a mini food hall! This is my favorite poke place! It's like health food central! You can order an acai bowl too! Or they have smoothies, milk teas and fresh teas! Check out the pictures of their menu!“

“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 👊❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 Best of the West 👍👍 🍻🍻“

“Bánh mì thịt nguội baguette ăn gôut Pháp !😍“

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

“Good food and fast service.“

“It is a place that can be more than welcoming, familiar, good service, but it is not pleasant that they are smoking while they serve you and even less inside the restaurant.

Parking: Ample parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor.“

“Awesome go-to spot. Serving is more than enough for one person. Even for my blue collar husband. Very friendly gentleman as the cashier and are always very prompt and nice when taking our takeout order over the phone. They have a new menu and set up for the front and it looks great. Always recommend, food is delicious, and place is always clean“

“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“

“MY FAVORITE POKE PLACE EVER 😻😻😻“

“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.“

“Great food and drink, cafe style! Collab with bearded papa…they have cream puffs! Service is friendly and fast. Restaurant is clean with a happy energetic feel. Kawaii!!“

“good food on the go. plenty of seafood options.“
