My coworkers and I were in the mood for Chinese or Asian inspired dishes for lunch. The small eatery is located in the same plaza with a popular donut place and nearby sushi restaurant. The parking lot is a little small and could be challenging during the lunch rush. There are a few small tables inside. We were seated, and the staff came to take our order. I didn't catch his name, but he was pretty friendly and helpful. Since it was our first time, he share some of his favorite entrées from the lunch menu. We chose items from the lunch special menu which is $13.99. For beef or fish entrées, it is an additional $1.25. The lunch special also comes with two small potstickers and your choice of soup. I chose hot and sour soup and black pepper chicken. My coworker chose that egg drop soup and Kung pao chicken. My soup was a lot darker than other hot and sour soups. I am accustomed to. It tasted ok. It would've been better with more ingredients. I enjoyed my chicken entrée. However, my coworkers, both agree that their Kung pao chicken was not as flavorful as my dish. While we were there, there were a handful of people who came to pick up takeout orders. I think we might return in the future.

Fried Rice

I was surprised to find that I really like this place as I have been disappointed lately trying to find new Chinese places that were tasty. This place has great deals and happens to be next to one of my fav Japanese restaurants too! We started with egg drop soup and it was thick and hearty, added a little soy and spice to it and it was great, the schezwan wontons were amazing as well and had an interesting spice chili sauce to them which was great (I used the leftover chili sauce to add to my other food as well). The beef and broccoli had a lot of flavor but was my least fav of everything we ordered. Not bad but typical dish. The fried rice was cooked fine and I liked the veggies they included, it had nice taste and complimented the food as well. The chow mein was delicious and had great flavor and fresh ingredients too. Service was quick and excellent. The restaurant is pretty small so any party over 4 will need to combine tables which is what we did but it worked out. This may just have became one of my new fave Chinese places!

KPB for sure is my new favorite Chinese style cuisine restaurant in my local area. Discovered it late last year on yelp around the time I moved to my place here in Santa Ana / Tustin border area. Have had it now 3 times and have been meaning to on review it. The beef and broccoli are really well portioned and they definitely deliver with the beef. Really good ratio of broccoli, carrots and beef. Standout out dish. The bbq is super good. Very flavorful. Tender and I like the cabbage it comes on top of. The orange chicken and Mongolian beef are two other popular standout dishes. Whether you're dining in or just picking up take out, you're in for a treat with this place. Its got higher quality ingredients and preparation than your average like fast food / express type Chinese joint. Also, their Thai tea is delicious. Not sure if they've always had it on the menu but I ordered it yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. Also. Big shout out to Jerry who is always super friendly and helpful. Compliments to his excellent customer service.

Kung pao chicken
Yukiko M.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and was really impressed! The lunch specials ($13.99) are incredibly affordable, especially considering the current economy, and the portions are huge. Each meal comes with rice, a main dish, soup, and even two dumplings--such a great deal! There's also convenient parking right in front, which makes it super easy to stop by. I went a little after the lunch rush, so it was nice and quiet--perfect timing. Highly recommend!

Thai tea they had on a special for $1.50, sooo good.
Alice H.

This place is really good & good prices. Very friendly staff, get deals. I got a Thai tea for $1.50, very tasty and good portions.

Chicken Teriyaki, Kung pao tofu, Fried Rice and Egg Flower Soup
Jack M.

It was just okay. The food was either burnt or just bland. The egg flower soup was very thick. The fried rice was crispy like it was cooked for too long. Other than that the service was good and it was clean inside.

Orange Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
Kent D.

Ordered a bogo deal for lunch at work and I was pleasantly surprised by the portions and quality of the food here. Everything arrived packaged nicely with utensils and condiments. The orange chicken was light, airy and crispy with just the right amount of sticky sweet sauce on a bed of rice and broccoli The teriyaki chicken was also delicious. Not too sweet and prepared perfectly. The portions were just right for lunch and I enjoyed every bite. I ordered again a few more times cuz I was a fan! Can't beat the price a deal either! Definitely a lot of bang of bang for the buck. Will definitely keep these guys on my list of go-to's for lunch! Happy Eats!

Chow mein, orange chicken, wonton soup, kung pow chicken. Tasted great even after a drive
Elizabeth K.

Tasty! Odd but cute location. Service was friendly and quick. We'll be back! Every dish was good - wonton soup, chow mein with pork, orange chicken, and Kung pow chicken. Exactly what we were looking for.

Walnut Shrimp

Food was delicious, service was great. I got: Kung Pao 3 Delight; fresh ingredients, good amount of chicken and shrimp, 2 pieces of beef. Not spicy. Walnut shrimp; fresh ingredients, perfect sweetness, good amount of shrimp Veg. Chow Mein; fresh ingredients, included (green onion, onion,bean sprouts, Napa cabbage, carrots, snap peas, mushrooms) serves 2 Thai Tea and Sweet Tea 10/10 everything was to go but they do have a clean establishment with seating available.

Curry chicken family style
Esther C.

Don't be fooled by the word bistro. This is a solid Asian restaurant. The interior has a dark ambiance going for it. For any entree, you can make it a combo and get an eggroll and a bowl of soup. Our eggroll was pipping hot and the egg flower soup was addicting. Their family size can easily feed two and if you go throw this route, you can feed two with $20-25 which is so doable for an amazing meal. Food came out fast and the chicken was so moist - not dry at all. This place isn't busy enough. Show them some love!

Mapo Tofu is without ground meat
Aileen J.

I've been here several times for lunch with Hubby or friends. We've always been seated right away, and the food is brought out quickly. The Lunch Specials are reasonably priced and the portions are good. After paying over $12 for breakfast at McDonald's this week, $13.99 for entree, soup, potstickers, and rice was more to my liking. An additional 50 cents for a can of soda was fine. Hubby's Kung Pao Chicken was tasty. I have had Mapo Tofu and Curry Chicken that I enjoyed. My friend ordered Wonton Soup, and it had plenty of goodies in a nice broth. The only thing I would change is the flimsy metal chairs. The sturdy wooden tables should have better seats. Good parking in the small shopping center. We had a pleasant server (possibly Hispanic?) last summer. I hope it was just her day off this week, because she was helpful and chatty.

The Oxtail Udon was one of our favorites, the oxtail was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the chewy udon noodles soaked up the rich, comforting broth perfectly. The Nabeyaki Udon was warm and satisfying, and the Spicy Beef Udon had a delicious kick without overpowering the flavors. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, buttery, and practically melted in your mouth. The assorted tempura was light and crispy, the fried chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the Dashimaki Egg was soft, fluffy, and perfectly seasoned. We also really enjoyed the Salmon Bowl, Sukiyaki Curry Bowl, and Sesame Tofu. Honestly, everything we tried was so good! And definitely save room for dessert. The Panna Cotta with Raspberry Sauce and Flan were both creamy, smooth, and the perfect ending to our meal. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and very welcoming. The staffs were also incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our dinner. Also free parking!

I had egg…read moretororo in New York and had been looking for a restaurant that served tororo ever since, but I couldn't find one until I came across OkiDoki Meiji. Now it's my favorite dish and what I order every time I go. Their udon is house made, and you can really tell in the texture. It's so comforting and chewy. My friend always gets the Spicy Beef Udon and talks about how good it is every time we go. The restaurant itself has a simple and cozy atmosphere, but that's part of what I like about it. The focus is really on the food. I've never had to wait too long. The last time we went around 6pm, we were seated within a few minutes and there were still several open tables. The service has always been great. Everyone is very friendly and attentive, and they regularly check in to make sure we have everything we need without being overbearing. If you're looking for a cozy spot for udon, especially if you're a fan of tororo, I would definitely recommend giving OkiDoki Meiji a try!

We all agreed: "Not a bad bite in the bunch." The cocktails were creative and the wine selection was good, too. Music was good. It wasn't so loud that we couldn't talk. After dinner, they brought a scoop of matcha ice cream with a candle in it for me and there was enough for all of us to have a bite or two. The only drawback was that from my seat, I could see into the kitchen hallway, which wasn't very attractive. They need a noren to block the view. Minor detail, though, and I suppose that would probably make it more difficult to bring food through. Highly recommend.

We waited an hour and forty minutes, which is fine for a walk-in on a busy night, but the host was completely disorganized. When we arrived, we were third in line and waited in the seating area. He took our names and party size right away, but what followed showed a total lack of organization. After waiting another 20 to 30 minutes, we were at the top of the list, yet he kept calling other parties of the exact same size ahead of us. I finally had to get his attention to let him know, and that's when he asked if I had received a text. I had--only four minutes prior--even though we were standing right in front of him and he had just taken our name minutes earlier. It felt like he lacked basic observational skills and was sloppy at his job. On top of the host situation, the restroom was outdated and messy, with toilet cleaning supplies left on the ground and chipping paint on the stalls. It really ruined the experience for a place I usually love
