“Excellent Thai and Lao food! Having travelled both countries I have to say this is some of the best legitimate local style food I’ve had outside of Southeast Asia. Highly recommend the Lao sausage and the crispy rice salad”
“Excellent service and presentation from the servers to the owners acting as MC. Very organized. I'm impressed. I would recommend to do your event here.”
“Food is Great! Service is Great! Atmosphere is Great!! what more can you ask for! BEST SHABU IN ORANGE COUNTY!!”

“Food are delicious. fried rice was served last lol 😆 so we eat lobster. shrimp. fish and crab soup first not bad. very good place to celebrate different occasions.”
“This is one of my favorite restaurants, I've been going there for years.The food is just super, from the appetizers to the main dishes nothing has ever disappointed. When I walk through the door they know what I want to start off with and will occasionally recommend a new dish.”

“We had a big group lunch at the patio of this restaurant and everything was perfect. The owner and staff helped us to arrange a warm and cozy get-together with nice atmosphere, good food selection, best service and reasonable price. It's our favorite Italian restaurant in the neighborhood and we strongly recommend this place.”
“Banh Cuon Tay Ho 2 has been my family's go to place ever since I was a little kid. My parents will take me here when I crave banh xeo and banh cuon. I know they have other food on their menu but their banh xeo and banh cuon are delicious. Their banh xeo is nice and crispy. Their veggie platter they bring out with it are fresh and the banh cuon dat biet is delicious as well. Their restaurant has a nice ambience and their staff was friendly.”
“AMAZING Mediteranean food!! If we lived near here, we would dine at Georgie's often! The steak and chicken kebab as well as the shrimp were perfectly seasoned and cooked! As a delicious accent our family feasted on tasty rice, Mediterranean salad, cucumber yogurt salad, and grape leaf rolls. To top off a wonderful meal, we ordered their walnut baklava...WOW! The staff were kind and patient, very friendly. Don't miss out on this restaurant!”
“This became my go-to pho spot after Pho Holic got franchised and turned into the McDonald’s of pho :( The pho here is solid, but the price? Not so much. We’re now paying about $21 for a bowl after tax and tip. At this rate, prices seem to jump 20% every year—‘phoflation’. Please I only get ~5% raise every year.”
“Friendly service. We arrived shortly before closing so many options were sold out. We tried the vegetarian eggrolls and the chicken eggrolls and both were delicious. They came out hot and perfectly crispy. The sweet chili sauce is also tasty and a perfect addition. You order in the back of the building and there is only one table for outdoor seating so plan to get your food to go. Wonderful little spot for a quick, hot and satisfying bite.”
“Excellent service. One of the best attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and nice group of servers (staff) I had encountered. The foods are great, fresh, great quality and quality, but is it the best in town? Somewhere up there top 50. Great decor and vibe upon entrance. Enjoyed the cocktails a lot.”
“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.”
Outdoor Dining
“I’ve been craving Mongolian Bbq for a while but haven’t really explored. Saw this place with good ratings and must say, the ratings didn’t lie! It’s a cosy hole in the wall place which you know that means it’s good. Staff are very friendly and attentive, explaining the menu and how this roll. I got the all you can eat with my boyfriend, it was so much food! I will absolutely come again and I will highly recommend this place to friends!”
“We had such a great experience at Wow Spaghetti in Westminster! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome. The girls working there were incredibly nice and attentive — they even double-checked to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.
The portions were huge! We both left with leftovers, which was a nice bonus. I ordered the mushroom and truffle creamy pasta — it was rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My husband went with the spicy chicken pasta, and let me just say — they do not hold back on the spice! He loved it. 🌶️
The inside of the restaurant was very clean and well-kept. There were so many menu options, it felt like there was something for everyone. It’s definitely a family-friendly spot, but still great for a casual date night. They had music playing at just the right volume — enough to add to the atmosphere but not so loud that you couldn’t have a conversation.
We’ll absolutely be back!”
“I’ve been coming here since 2013 and I’ve never been dissatisfied. The blackened fish tacos got me in the door and I’ve been back for just about everything. Had a torta tonight and again good. This is easily my favorite authentic Mexican spot in Huntington Beach and the only spot that is on par with tacos los cholos.”
“The noodle soup dish at the Chinese restaurant is truly delicious! The cleanliness of the restaurant along with the delicious taste of the food must have brought a wonderful culinary experience. The rich dipping sauce combined with fragrant fried garlic adds to the appeal of the noodle dish. Hope you will have more opportunities to enjoy this dish at the restaurant. Bon Appétit!”
“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.”
“I think I found my new favorite Com Tam place. Good service, delicious Com Tam, the Tau Hu Ky was crunchy as it should be, clean seats and tables (and plenty of seating), clean restrooms, fresh modern interior design, spacious parking, selectable options with your Com Tam and very affordable, and open late! They have hot tea as well which is a must have for me. The bonus for me was the 3 types of chilis on each table. Outstanding!”
“This place is miraculous.
This is the best fish and chip left in all of Southern california, with the best most competitive price and a nice quaint restaurant.
I have probably come back here 10-15 times ever since I've written this review - and it only keeps getting better.
If you want to take someone to the best fish and chips in the city, bring them here. This place cannot be beat.
If you have anyone to ask for quality fish and chip in the area, just bring them here. I
promise you - you will be happy.
They have many other things including hush puppies and chicken fingers, but they make the MOST AUTHENTIC ENGLISH fish and chip in the entire Los Angeles area.
BE PATIENT. QUALITY FISH AND CHIP IS DONE RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU... SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME BUT IT'S WORTH IT”
“My friend showed me this place a little over a week ago & I have been coming every day since. I’ve tried MANY matcha places in OC/LA and (tmi) but as someone who suffers from stomach issues- this places ceremonial grade matcha doesn’t bother my stomach at all!! The banana crème matcha is literally the best matcha I have ever tried. Even though this place is a little far from my house, I still will come as often as I can- because the matcha is literally amazing!!! The staff is also super sweet & the inside is so cozy & welcoming.”
“The eggs here are good. It's a little less than $2 each egg. The man working spoke mostly Vietnamese, there will be a language barrier for those who don't speak Vietnamese. My only qualm with the place is they don't let you pick which eggs you want. I personally like picking them myself. The eggs were good but a little too mature as there were tiny bones...you could eat it but i prefer not having that texture. But just ask for small ones and they'll be good!”

“This little gem has a ton off things in the fridge and hot foods to go. They have a catering menu as well. No frills place prefers cash but does take card but you will be taxed. Zelle will save you some money as well. I came here to try the crispy sticky rice since I've never tried this anywhere before. Another item I wanted to try was the grilled prawn spring rolls. I have seen these anywhere before. This place closes around 6pm and I got in within the last hour. The crispy sticky rice was sold out. I grabbed a few items to try. TBH they were underwhelm so I didn't eat it more than a bite. I was disappointed walking in they had everything wrapped and premade. I was expecting fresh rolls but I did also come at the end of the day. Did not have high hopes. BUT when unwrapped it and ate it, it was so good. Instead of carrot, daikon and such.. it has mango (cut up line like papaya salad) the crispy eggroll wrap for the crunch, cucumber and the grilled shrimp. The fish sauce is different too. It's sweeter but very flavorful. The combination of the two so fresh, so refreshing. I will come back over and over for this. I've told people and everyone who has tried it has been a fan. My friend bought a tray of 25 to bring back to her family. Ate four herself before delivery ahhah If you're ordering over 10 they're discounted.”

“came for their 8.50 special.
was very satisfied by the portions! great choice of meat and quality. noodles al dente. soup rich and decadent in a delicate way. great , almost nostalgic taste. Great view too!
clean tables and kind staff. Definitely coming back soon.
*cash only*”
“The food was great! Very tasty and savory. My only complaint is that they did not add enough pork. It was barely enough for a few bites compared to how much noodle and veg they gave you. The meal was basically made to order as they did take some time to get it out to us.
Disregard the reviews on prices, it was priced what I expected a plate like this to cost.”
“This is a wonderful place to come and eat. Everything tasted fresh and was ready quickly. If I had to complain about anything, it was with the amount of rice with my Tamago, shrimp, and tuna pieces. It just didn't hold up very well. Other than that, everything was wonderful!”
“They have very delicious 😋😋 authentic Vietnamese foods.
I love their Beef Garlic Noodles 🍜, Seafood eggs rolls 🫔🫔, Curry Chicken 🍲🐔🐓🍗🍗with French Baguette bread 🥖🥖 and Fried Fish 🐟🐟 with red rice 🍛
One of the best place to visit with your family and friends to eat authentic Vietnamese foods.
Highly recommend it.”

“Quick service and delicious, fresh egg rolls! Probably the best egg rolls I’ve ever had! They were flavorful, crispy, definitely tasted fresh and not frozen. Highly recommend! Best part is they sell by small pieces so you can literally just buy 3 if you just want a small bite.”
“We run a busy DIY art studio nearby, and Fantastic Cafe is one of our go to places when we get really busy and need something to go, or when we need an extra energy pickup at the start/end of a long day. Our favorite is the two for one hamburger special after 4 PM, but we also love the patty milk with extra onions, the big, hot fries, and breakfast. Watch out for their milkshakes. They’re huge and addicting.”
“Quality fresh food for a cheap price! Located next to Starbucks and Subway, this place is owned by a very sweet family. I would definitely recommend getting the chicken beef plate, but everything on their menu is delicious. Support local businesses during this rough time!”
“I've been visiting every once in a while for years at their original location at Westminster, but stopped when I completed college at LB.
But visited once again at their newer LB location, and their breakfast burritos are still the best I've eaten. Love this place!”
“She doesn’t specialize in pho but this is orange county. It was the best rare beef i’ve ever had. Her broth is peppered with black pepper. I’d recommend lots of lime. The noodles are fresh and not rehydrated.
There was no tendon or tripe in the dac biet. I’d recommend the pho tai if you’re having pho. To the owner I’d recommend just taking the dac biet off the menu. Ppl don’t come for pho dac biet, they come for pho. The pho tai is clearly your best here.”
“The food is amazing, service is on point! Great place to try some of Vietnam’s delicious food!”
“Royal the best place you can hangout 👍🏻 good food and the best service ❤️”

“BEST TACOS IN GARDEN GROVE!!!!
This place is an absolute must! Everything from the meats, to the tortillas, to the sauces, even the customer service, EVERYTHING was spectacular!!! This is was my first time here and it was everything i ever wanted from a taco place. I highly recommend going here, if you’re passing by or a local, it’s a perfect place for some delicious tacos!!”
“If you are looking for duck and noodle soup this is a good place for you. The noodle soup is tasty and relatively light, served with duck salad which is poached duck on top of a light tangy salad. You can choose the carbs in the soup: rice noodles, clear vermicelli, or rice.
I liked it a lot but given the limited menu make sure you go with people who like duck or chicken... this is a pretty limited menu. Service was great, fast, friendly.
parking is tough. welcome to Bolsa.”
“Nice lunch spot! $13.40 griller beef and a small salad. Friendly staff
Large rice and meat portions, very fresh and flavorful. The sauce is oyster garlic marinade. You can select your spice levels, I got the first level of spice it's pretty spicyy
Vietnamese style food, with sandwiches and coffee. All pretty affordable and good quality.
Parking is okay. Kind of small but not bad, but it's busy on the weekends”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely amazing experience with this bakery! I ordered a custom birthday cake for my daughter, and it turned out even better than I imagined. The design was beautiful, detailed, and exactly what we asked for. Not only did it look stunning, but it tasted incredible—moist, flavorful, and perfectly sweet. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of love into their work. The staff was friendly, professional, and made the whole process so easy. Everyone at the party was impressed! I highly recommend this bakery for any special occasion—especially custom cakes!”
“Yala Kabab Restaurant is a standout gem for lovers of Levantine cuisine—especially for those seeking authentic Mandi, Mansaf, kebabs, and mezze served with warmth and tradition. The portions are hearty, flavor consistent, and prices family-friendly. While service flow and space may feel informal at times, the overall experience remains elevated by quality food and genuine hospitality.”
“I like banh mi lynda sandwich, the pate smells good and very flavorful, i really like this and i came from portland just to eat hers at cali. if there was 10 stars i would rate it 10 stars! i recommend eating there because it tastes good and you shoukd try the xa xiu. My dad had to eat 2 banh mis because it was too good 💕”
“This place is run by an older Vietnamese woman and she’s very sweet. She engaged with the customers and did well at making the drinks. Though my peach iced tea tasted like straight syrup and took a little while, I did appreciate her effort as a small, locally owned bakery. She also had a variety of services and snacks too.”
“Been here for father's day with my family. We ordered a number of dishes and had requested to serve mild spicy. It was really mild and the freshness of all the dishes ordered was quite remarkable. Was impressed with the immense cleaning of this place including the restroom. The ambience was very open and relaxing. Enjoyed the dinner. Recommended.”
“Hola gente bonita en mi propia experiencia les comparto que con solo El shake el té y la sábila llevo 14 libras abajo de 150 libras e bajado a 136 ASÍ QUE SÚPER RECOMIENDO EL producto Herbalife + ejercicio y buenos hábitos alimenticios para una buena salud ♥️♥️♥️”
“Amazing food and drinks. I had their BBQ Char Siu sandwich and the “Almond Croissant”—both were incredible.
There are plenty of “popular” bakeries around, but this spot stands out for one reason: quality. Every pastry and sandwich feels thoughtfully made, and the flavor backs it up.
Hands down, some of the best pastries and sandwiches I’ve had in OC. This is my now go to spot for these categories.”
“$8 for a decent bowl ( i ordered brisket and rare steak) with decent amount of meat, good flavorful broth, gave lots of bean sprouts and sides, they even have large size pho noodles which i prefer more than the small ones. The place opens super late till 3am for suitable for late owls like me. Interior is small but who cares, still lot of tables to sit no wait! Service was standard, price is awesome, opens late like what else can u ask for right? 10/10 value. Will be back :)”
“One of the best roast duck bbq spot. It very flavorful and roast pork you have options to choose from lean meat or fatty meat. Either one it tender and seasoned well.”
“The food was ok, BIG shrimp, nice size crab legs, sausage was good, corn was good, potatoes was good, did not really care for the dried oysters, tilapia was good, rice was good. The boil sauce tasted more of a tomato base instead of the good ole Cajun butter seasoning spice. For that reason, I had to drop a star. I didn't care for that tomato base boil flavor.”
“Tables and chairs are arranged reasonably, not too close together, creating a comfortable space.”
“We came to this GEN a couple months ago and had a horrible experience. I read past reviews today and it was very similar to what people are claiming. We left so disappointed and for an AYCE experience, we left hungry since no one was coming by to tend to us.
I called and spoke with Ricky, he handled the situation like a total professional. Very attentive and listened well to our concerns. He offered to comp us one dinner if we would return and try them again.
We went last night and were attended to by Maddie who made her rounds on checking up on us. She left Phil in charge of tending to us and he did a great job of making sure we felt comfortable and had a better experience than what we had before. In the middle of our dinner, another manager by the name of Geri or Jerry came by to explain to us the change in management and how corporate is taking over to help out this location back on its feet. I can see by reading past reviews that past management let the place go. We understood and continued with our dinner which was a much better experience. I’m thankful for the staff.
Looking around and being that we have visited many kbbqs before as well as several other GENs, I could see that the staff is all extremely hard working. From managers to servers to bussers, even bartenders helping with customers beyond the bar. But I can see some flaws that continue to plague the place at no fault of the staff. They are super shorthanded and overwhelmed with the nature of this service. Hard to keep up with customers needs and demands. Hard to maintain a proper flow of how food comes out and the time how it comes out. Side dishes that I’ve noticed at other places are standards to start with where not brought out without requesting it. When they do, it’s not aligned with how the meats are prepared, but understandable that they are clearly doing their best.
Perhaps GEN should revisit how their ordering system is used. Perhaps a digital order service would take some pressure off the staff. Adding proper staffing would also greatly help them in their mission to pick this location up.
All and all, they deserve the 5 stars. The assistance from Phil, Maddy and Gerri made this a much much better experience than what we had a few months ago. I’ll be open to revisiting them again in the future with excitement in hope that they are able to turn this location around. Their enthusiasm and professionalism shows that they are fully capable of doing so and creating a fun and enjoyable experience for all customers if the higher ups do their part. Don’t leave your team in the dark and supply them what they need to continue to bring in your revenue and keep that strong GEN name.”
“This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is great and their prices are very good too. Staff is very friendly and accommodating as well.”
“My favorite place in the world 🥰😇 go get you some yum yum baby!!!! You will never forget how good it taste 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 try my fav #PorkSungBun🤪😘🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳”
“I frequent Lien Hoa for there roast pork and peking duck which I highly reccomend. The best bang for your buck; roast pig head $10! crispy skin, tender soft fatty meat with tons of flavor!”
“We’ve been coming here since 1999, and it’s still one of our favorite spots. The food is always great, and Danny is always happy to see us—he makes every visit feel like coming home. We also really love the recent remodeling and are excited about the new owner. It’s wonderful to see this place continue to thrive while keeping the same welcoming spirit we’ve always enjoyed.”

“Going out to eat today, even though I gave it 4 stars, it was very sad. My family of 3 ordered 2 dishes and everything was ok. I had a mixed stir-fried noodle soup and while I was chewing it, I saw something chewy and pulled out a long plastic string from my mouth. I called the employee over to give it to me. I only looked at it but only received it. I was asked "what is that, what is that, let me ask the manager" I finished eating and waited to ask the manager but there was no one to tell me what it was, no apology or explanation. It's so sad that this place's food is very satisfying but I don't know if I should come back.”

“I was in Westminster the other day and super thirsty, so I decided to try something new. Ma Juicy caught my eye--they specialize in pennywort drinks, which sounded healthy but I wasn't sure how it'd taste. Turns out it's actually pretty good!
I got the #5 Pennywort Juice with Mung Bean and the #14 P Mix with Milk Foam, Pandan, and Chia Seeds. Both were refreshing. Pennywort reminds me a little bit of grass jelly, but not overpowering at all (definitely not like wheatgrass).
Now that l've tried it, I'll definitely be back for more. If you're curious about pennywort, this place is worth checking out!”
“I was worried that you were closed; I’m glad you just got a new location. Bún măng vịt and vịt salad are always great. I was seated within seconds; the food was ready within a few minutes. I finished them after 15 minutes.
To all of the reviewers, please be kind and patient, always give people a chance to improve if your first impression is not as impressed. Please help keep their business up and running to serve the customers.”
