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!

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!

This ended up being one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time -- not just because of the food and drinks, but because of the PEOPLE. The hospitality here is truly next level. We checked into Hanuman and were told the wait would be about 50 minutes. The hostess was incredibly kind and let us know we were welcome to wait outside, sit in the waiting chairs, or head next door to ETC Bar since they had a full bar. Best decision ever. The second we walked into ETC, everyone was so welcoming. We sat at the bar and met the sweetest mixologist, Jada, who completely made our night. She recommended two drinks: "Bangkok to Thailand" and "Duh It's Mango." Both were AMAZING. "Bangkok to Thailand" was exactly the flavor profile I wanted -- technically a mocktail, but Jada added tequila for me and OMG... the tamarind sweetness was unreal. It honestly tasted like Bangkok in a cup. "Duh It's Mango" literally tasted like sticky rice and mango turned into a cocktail. I don't know how they do it, but it was incredible. We ended up coming back for seconds because the drinks were that good. While we were there, the owner (I believe she was the owner) came over to check on us after finding out we were the party of 6 waiting for Hanuman next door. She asked how we liked the drinks and we found out SHE created the cocktail menu herself, which honestly made the experience even cooler. Back at Hanuman, the hostess continued to go above and beyond. I'm so sad I didn't catch her name because she was genuinely one of the most thoughtful hostesses I've ever met. We were standing there holding all our drinks and she literally brought over a bench/table just so we'd have somewhere to place them. She smiled and said, "Just so your hands don't get cold." That small gesture stuck with me because it showed how much they truly care about their customers. It wasn't something she had to do -- she just wanted us comfortable. Then somehow the service got EVEN BETTER. We went back to ETC for another round while waiting and they told us they could actually seat us there and Hanuman would bring the food over. At that moment I genuinely thought... wow. This place gets hospitality. They made us feel valued the entire night. Now let's talk FOOD. Every single thing we ordered was incredible. The fried chicken appetizer with sticky rice was insanely good, and I loved that our waiter took the time to explain exactly how to eat it -- dipping the sticky rice into the fried garlic/onions and sauce combination. That bite was unforgettable. The Thai sausages were also amazing and came with two different varieties that were both packed with flavor. For mains we ordered: - Chicken curry - Shrimp fried rice - Papaya salad - Tom kha soup - Shrimp pad Thai The tom kha soup was SO flavorful and comforting. The shrimp fried rice with salted egg was addicting. The shrimp pad Thai was honestly one of the best pad Thai dishes I've had in a very long time. The chicken curry had the perfect balance of richness, spice, and flavor. The papaya salad could've had a little more spice for my preference, but it was still delicious. I was lowkey heartbroken they ran out of sticky rice for dessert, but honestly the desserts completely redeemed everything. The Thai tea crème brûlée was RIDICULOUSLY good -- the flavor was unreal. We also ordered the fried bananas with ice cream and that was another perfect ending to the meal. Tbh I was sad when I asked for another crème brûlée to go and the waiter said it wasn't doable. Huge shoutout to our waiter as well who gave us great recommendations throughout the night and made everything feel fun and welcoming. This wasn't just dinner. This was one of those experiences where you leave genuinely impressed by how much effort a restaurant puts into making people feel taken care of. Hanuman and ETC Bar x Thaizakaya absolutely nailed it from start to finish. We'll 1000% be back.

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 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.
