    The food here is good and tasty with portions that are pretty decent. Its location is strange but with that makes for a great place to get Korean food in an area that doesn't have a lot. Walking in the host/server told us it was authentic Korean which is strange in the sense that nobody really asked but good to know. The service was pretty good but they don't have a lot of staff so it was tough for her to promptly serve us I guess. I would say overall it was satisfactory. The ambiance was interesting and decor I would say it definitely feels a little cozy so to each their own. They did also give us some ice cream for free though which I really appreciated too. Overall I did like the place.

    Amazing foods service our server was helpful and super kind. The food is amazingly good and fresh for such a cheap price in such a big bowl. The black beans noodles is my family's favorite. I 100% recommend this restaurant!!

    Came here with my wife and son and we were really impressed with the taste and quality of the food. The menu was surprisingly small at less than 10 items. I've never seen this menu this small but when the food came out, I was presently amazed at the level of dedication to each dish. The service was impeccable, and this restaurant really had a Homie vibe to it.

    Everything was DELICIOUS!! I wish i lived out here so I could visit more often. Everything had customizable spice levels which is amazing because we are sensitive. An amazing deal and value for everything. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and made with love and flavorful. We have a lot of amazing leftovers to feed us on the rest of our trip. Even though the food was extraordinary, Monse, our server was the highlight. She was so kind, friendly, helpful and attentive. You can tell she is passionate about her job. She gave us delicious soft serve icecream and gifts at the end of our meal and it was the cherry on top of our meal. Thank you Monse and Chew Me team!

    Seafood because it's was Good Friday. They removed the meat on my request.

    A little mom and pop in the corner of the strip mall,, but when you enter you feel like you are transported to a lil mom and pop in South Korea. Authentic. Staff is very attentive. Worth it.

    My husband picked this spot today and it is so welcoming ! The owner was working and she was so sweet and gave off such a good vibe. We ordered the #7 galbi stew and #12 k-popcorn chicken. Both dishes were sooooo good! The galbi stew was so deep in flavor and super rich paired so well with the dipping sauce and a bowl of rice . ( I will be back just for this ) The k-popcorn plate was full off items, rice, fries, chicken, and a salad, all was very yummy. We also ordered a strawberry smoothie and it good, had the perfect amount of sweetness. Oh and the banchan was really good too !

    1. I love the presentation of the k-popcorn chicken! The Galbi Stew was delicious, and the meat easily fell off the bone! The fresh juice was definitely refreshing! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with lots of seatings! 3. The staff were really friendly and attentive! Note: There will be a Korean pho coming soon!

    I found Chew Me from yelp and wanted to check it out since I was craving Soft Tofu Stew. It is located in a sketchy area in Garden Grove with tight parking as there are many things in the area. It is a fusion restaurant of Korean Asian and Mexican. Service was so friendly and kind. Price for the items wasn't too bad either. You can definitely taste the fusion portion. The rib soft tofu stew and the beef plate were pretty good.

    Amazing food! Great customer service by Monse she was super friendly and sweet! I absolutely recommend coming here. The food tastes like as if I traveled to Korea!!!

    Jjajjangmyeon and kimbap!

    We had the jjajjangmyeon and kimbap for dinner. Delicious! Service was excellent too.

    K-Galbi 4/5
    Nhue G.

    This restaurant just opened recently around one month or so. The server/owner was really nice and took her time to explain the menu to us. They were working to a full opening, so some items were not available yet. On one side of the menu, ramen, chicken/pork cutlet, and pot sticker were available. On the other side, most items were available except yukgaejang, jjamppong, and 1-2 other items. Overall, the food's portion was big and the price was decent. This restaurant has a lot of potential and I can't wait to see them grow. I hope to try their tofu soups next time. K-Galbi 4/5 - The Galbi beef portion were generous. It was good quality and seasoned well. A little too salty for me, but you could eat it with rice to balance out the taste. The fries were definitely 5/5. They were perfectly crispy and airy. I try to not eat too much fries but couldn't stop eating these. Tacos 4/5 - The tacos were good. It is a fusion dish (Asian-Mexican) that came with meat, pickled carrots, onion, ranchero, and melted cheese. I think it'd be better without the pickled carrots since they made the tacos slightly sour. K-Popcorn Chicken 3/5 - The chicken had perfect texture. Soft in the inside, airy on the outside as if it was cooked with an air fryer. The taste, though, was different from what I expected for popcorn chicken. It was more like a soy sauce/orange chicken type of flavor. A lot of dishes came with fries which tasted great. If you don't want too many fries, you can replace them with steamed vegetables, too.

Mai Phat still exceeded them! It has since become our go-to lunch spot, as well as a local favorite for my wife's family. They specialize in egg noodles - served either dry (with broth and main protein on the side) or wet like a conventional soup bowl. My personal go-to is the dry mì sủi cảo - egg noodles with sliced / ground pork, huge wonton dumplings, a shrimp cracker, and broth on the side. The wontons come in a super rich and delicious sauce that I actually got scolded for pouring over my noodles lol. The light and clear broth is very refreshing and well-seasoned. Excellent mix of perfectly balanced flavors from every component. Add chili crisp for extra oomph. My wife loves the mì gà quay - fried chicken leg & thigh with the signature egg noodles. This is honestly one of the most perfectly seasoned and cooked fried chicken I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of fried chicken. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive Highly recommend Mai Phat for hearty, expertly crafted, and relatively guilt free Vietnamese comfort food

We waited probably around 15 minutes and there were about two or three other parties before us. Be sure to sign in on the notepad. There are a few plastic stools in the front. While you're waiting, they will take your order to add it to the queue for the kitchen. When our turn was up, we were seated at small table for two. I noticed another gentleman by himself at a table for four people. Hmmmm. Anyhow, there were about five tables total inside or maybe six. It was very warm inside since there is no AC. This is a type of life where you eat and leave as quickly because it's a no-frills no ambience type of place. That's fine with me except it was pretty hot. They charge you a dollar for a little tiny paper cup of water. I ordered the number one since this is their specialty or what they're known for. My mom had the bun thit nuong cha gio. My noodle soup had a good amount of crab pieces and shrimp. It seemed like there was not a lot of noodles though. I thought the broth was a little bland. I guess I'm just not a big fan of this type of soup. If there is a next time, I'll try the bun rieu. My mother was not that crazy about her dish. She said she didn't really like the egg rolls that much. For the price, the wait and the taste of the food, I likely will not be returning when there are so many other places in the area. I try to support various mom and pop restaurants, but for the previous stated reasons, I don't think we'll be back.

They have so many other options on the menu like chow fun, hainan chicken, and a ton of other noodle soup dishes. The last two times I came here was on a weekday during lunch so there was plenty of parking. However, I'm sure it gets packed on the weekend since it is located right next to the Asian Garden Mall.

And the other cashier said in Vietnamese something about me, like "Con nhỏ này" & I thought maybe he's talking about something else-but then when he gave me the receipt of my refund, he said "and I don't want you to be a customer here anymore." I was very appalled and I stood there wondering if he really just said that to me after I had an experience. I asked him why he didn't want me to be a customer anymore. And he turns to a customer to ring them out, ignoring me. So I waited til he was done with that transaction & repeated my question. He flat out said "because you're annoying." WOW. That's just so rude. And unfortunate bc I thought the food was really good & wanted to come back for the clam & the sweet corn milk. So I definitely wouldn't want to be a customer anyways with that kind of attitude towards a customer. Btw they give you plastic utensils here even for dining in which is a con.
