The famous pork spring rolls were phenomenal and the chicken rice bowl was light, aromatic, and filling The steak banh mi was good but the bread did feel a bit stale (maybe not as fresh since this was 7 AM)? Would have loved to have some Vietnamese dessert (eg Che Ba Mau) too but that may be asking too much for airport diner. Overall if you're looking for some light, fresh, delicious food before your flight then this is a place worth trying!

Last night we went for our first time and my daughter's birthday! We had a wonderful experience!…read moreSince it was our first time we asked our server Hendry for suggestions and he was very helpful and super attentive throughout the night. We ordered a little bit of everything and it all was amazing. The food came fast and hot. Wish we could have had a bigger table because we had way too many plates. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was great. Only downside if you had to go to the restroom it's downstairs by a little food court in the mall so I thought they were going to be dirty but surprisingly they were clean and well taken care of. Over all we had a great time and Hendry was great and gave my daughter a birthday dessert without us telling him anything. He over heard us congratulating her. I would definitely go back! Oh I gave it four stars only because the inconvenience of the restroom be separated from the restaurant.

The standout feature here is undoubtedly the quality of the ingredients. The **fresh meat** is incredibly tender and of high quality, which really elevates the whole bowl compared to other spots that use mostly frozen options. The selection of toppings is vast and everything looked very fresh and well-organized. I also loved the broth--it was rich, flavorful, and you can customize the spice level to your liking. The sauce station is also a big plus, allowing you to create your own perfect dipping blend. The restaurant is clean, the service is efficient, and it's a great addition to the Irvine food scene. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic and high-quality Malatang!

The chicken wings to start were super delicious. I was impressed how crispy and juicy it was as well as flavors. The rice with the sauce that comes with it is addicting. 4.8/5. The Pad See Ew was probably one of the best in Costa Mesa. It had so much flavor it was ridiculous. 5/5. The haunaman fried rice (I think that's how you spell it) was next tier. The sweet sausage and umami flavors of the dish it was gone quick. 5/5. The pad Thai was sus at first. They don't do chicken. Just tofu and shrimp. I guess that's the "authentic" way of making it back in the motherland. I got it anyways and it did not disappoint. So good. 4.9/5. Overall I would come back here. You just need to make reservations because this place gets packed fast and people come in crowds.

I didn't know much about this place before trying it but was reassured by the queue of people waiting. Great price points for absolutely delicious food. Although I enjoy ramen, I was in the food for spicy tuna, I tried a large bowl with two generous portions of incredibly fresh and delicious spicy tuna. This almost reminded me of a tuna tartare because of how finely the mince on the tuna was, I was surprised I liked it as much as I did as I was experience larger tuna chucks like poke, I'm so glad they made the decision to prepare the tuna this way. Along with the generous portion of rice and salad with the bowl, this was a perfect lunch option. I also treated myself to the crispy chicken kaarage, a definite treat. Freshly made and delicious option. Overall, I will absolutely be back, even the infused water was memorable. Service was great, friendly and knowledgeable.
