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!“

Customer service: 5/5
(fair pricing for current economy)
Uneven meat to noodle ratio. I I love the portion of noodles but I quickly ran out of protein

Ordered: Beef Brisket Oil Splashed Hand-pulled“

“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!“

“First time here and I loved it. The food is delicious, big portions, affordable pricing, freshly cooked. Service was phenomenal, friendly and caring. The Pad Thai and Chow Mein (items I ordered) were so yummy! Plus the sticky mango rice was the perfect dessert, highly recommend this place!“

“​I was in charge of ordering Chinese food for a big crowd for my aunt's birthday party, and since KBP Asian Bistro was close by, I gave it a shot. Honest review: seeing how quiet the restaurant was at first made me second-guess my choice, but I'm so glad I stuck with it! Everyone at the party devoured the food. It was amazingly fresh and flavorful, and the orange chicken was easily my favorite. We had zero leftovers, which speaks for itself. I'll definitely be coming back here for all my Chinese food cravings!“

“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.“

“Everything is amazing perfect place to bring your vegan friends or loved ones. We are from Austin we were visiting friends this was amazing we had the garlic noodle and the veggie medley. Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee all vegan with a slice of pandan cake. They also have jerky and a few other snacks you can buy. Just go here everyone is friendly and helpful with allergies as well“

“I literally tasted the best Thai dish of my life today. KHAO SOI. A think northern noodle soup served with a whole bone in piece if short rib on top. This dish is straight from heaven if you like spicy dishes. Can’t wait to come back and order it again and again.“

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

“Amazing food!!! When you walk in the smell of the restaurant just takes you in.“

“The guy who makes the Manti and the Samsa wasn’t there. That made me a little sad but our food came out really fast. It was a very homely atmosphere. The food literally almost caused me to ascend. The food was incredible. I have no complaints.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ive eaten here many times only because the food is so delicious 😋
But to be honest the customer service is not very good. Yesterday when I was trying to order my food the Asian girl at the front was too busy to even talk to me because she was on the phone while I stood there for 10 minutes trying to ask a question. After I got my food I nicely asked for some extra sauces and she gave me a look with attitude. Someone needs to train this girl on how to provide good customer service because of that youll be losing your customers no matter how good your food is.“

“Ngon nha! Dòn rụm ko bị dầu mỡ nhiều. Ai thèm xôi chiên tuổi thơ thì ghé thử liền. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We had the pleasure of tinting the windows at their location. Such a pleasure working with Carol, amazing business owner and you can tell she cares about her craft as well as her clients. She even hooked us up with a grilled cheese, tuna melt, banana pudding and banana bread! It tasted amazing! Highly recommend if you're looking for a high quality catering company 🙌🏾“

“Delicious. I come here once a week for my fix. Food is always fresh, music is always good, and the service is great. I can’t think of another Poki place in HB that is as delicious as here. Will continue coming here as long as I can“

“So glad we stumbled upon this spot! The pho was delicious, but the real star was the extra crispy noodles(they’re basically like chips), and my son absolutely loved them. The portions are huge with plenty of meat, so it’s definitely worth the price. We actually shared two bowls between the three of us and it was more than enough. The broth is so flavorful, we'll definitely be back!“

“My curiosity was rewarded. I had the 4 garlic wing, fries special, $11, and it was delicious. I didn't realize a Vietnamese- style chicken wing even existed. The meat was very tender, and one of the drum sticks was about the size of a squash ball. The fries were separated from the chicken, and very nicely and crisply fried.

I'll be going back.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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).“

“Món ăn ngon, không gian sang trọng ấm cúng và giá cả phải chăng. Sẽ ủng hộ lâu dài“

“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!“

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

“The Best of the West 👍👍 🍻🍻“

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

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

“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.

“Absolutely outstanding service. We walked in right before closing, totally wiped from work, and the two women working there were so warm, welcoming, and attentive. They made us feel like welcome guests instead of late customers. Fast, friendly, and genuinely caring service. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Price is reasonable, portion is good! Food is decent ! Wish people obey the no smoking rule! Our waiter was kind and very knowledgeable! Restaurant was clean! Food option was vast! Wished they had more vegetarian options that weren’t so expensive“

“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 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“

“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!“
