It was our first time trying the mushroom and beef dish, and while it was good, it didn't really stand out compared to the Saltado Fries. Still, no complaints! Service was ok. The servers checked in on us once, and after that, we had to call them over whenever we needed something. We do appreciate them refilling our lychee lemonade, though! That drink was so good! We sat in the outdoor patio area, and it was pretty loud. For some reason, the sound echoed a lot whenever people were talking, which made it a little hard to have a conversation. Maybe we'll try sitting indoors next time! Overall, we'll definitely be back!

Been here before and everything on menu looks good. Started with Ube cloud and Ube beer which both had strong Ube flavor. The cloud had a nice creamy coconut flavor to it. The garlic wings came out and had an amazing orange sauce to it. Wings crispy and flavorful. Unfortunately after the appetizer, service was slow. It took 20 minutes after that for our main dishes to come out. Then another 15 mins after our main dishes for the rest to come out. Not sure if they lost the order in the kitchen since the waiter came back out to check what has come out. Food solid here and aromatic. Garlic noodles with came with big prawns. The ribeye on the fried rice was more medium well than medium. Lomo saltado was my favorite. The filet mignon is flavorful and the crispy fries soaked up all the flavor. Great food here but service can be better. Can see the kitchen from dining area. Looks like they have outdoor seating but wasn't available when we were there.

Went out to NEP Cafe this past weekend to spend some quality time with friends over some good food…read more We were able to reserve a table ahead of time (the day before) with tons of times available for our group. We were running late, and they were extremely accommodating by saving us our table despite being 15 mins late (we did call them when we were running late and gave them an ETA). Our group ordered 2 banh mi chaos, pork belly rice, and their dry bun Bo hue. All of these dishes were extremely filling and all were very delicious! Service was great as well, with our server being extremely attentive and helpful to our group since it was our first time visiting. Highly recommend to others who want to experience a slightly different vibe than the normal Vietnamese offering while also still having the taste of some of these traditional dishes.

The Hen Xuc Banh Trang was an appetizer that had a great mix of savory flavors and textures that went well with the crispy rice flour chip.

Great spot for Vietnamese food with flavorful dishes and generous portions!

The Heo Quay was literally served cold? The baguette was also 1000% old and stale. The worker clearly tried to mask it by loading it up with sauces and such but the old stale bread taste was so prominent, I could taste it through everything else. Paid $10+ for a banh mi that was far from fresh in every way. So disappointing. Way too much competition in the area to be so careless with your quality while charging a higher price.

That congee! We…read morecame here a few weeks ago, and we ordered the Congee with crab, garlic chicken wings, and calamari. The congee was sooooooooo good! Talk about flavor bomb! It had a little bit of everything in terms of sweet and savory, rich and thick, and just had such a comforting and warm taste on a cold night. The wings came out hot and fresh, decent sized wings, but I might have to try the cajun wings next time for some additional heat. The calamari was great though, light, and not too heavy with the batter, but perfectly crisp and a great bite. All in all, a great spot to eat at after a day at disneyland, they're also open late (until 1:30am) which is an added bonus! Service was quick, the restaurant was clean, and didn't feel crowded when sitting at the table.

We got a variety of dishes to try out, and overall it was just ok. The soup was good but was a little light on ingredients, the papaya salad was decent with a little kick, noodles didn't really have much truffle taste but was ok, green beans were crunchy and probably the best dish here, and the mango sticky rice was not ripe. Most of the mango pieces were hard / not sweet and proportion to the rice was off. The staff was friendly and the space is very open and welcoming. Not sure if I'd come back though unless I was craving the Asian fusion tea service.

BUSINESS PERMANENTLY CLOSING 6/28/26…read more Came here with some gals for afternoon tea. It's a cute little restaurant in Old Towne Orange. It's decorated really cute inside and out! Everything was creatively planned and decorated. It was also very clean and spacious inside and out. When you go in, there's a tea sampling station with the menus so you can see which tea you would like to order. Our server was really sweet, but she was the only one serving all of the tables, so she would come by every 10-20 minutes to check on us and some things we asked for didn't make it to the table. If they had more servers, customers would be happy with quicker service. The food and tea were delish! There were 6 of us so we shared a bunch of different teas. I really enjoyed the teas they had. The sweet and savory treats were really yummy! I really enjoyed them. Each person got 5 little savory treats and 4 sweet treats. I kind of wish we got one or two more for $45, but either way they were delicious! We had a great time and were sad to learn that the business will be permanently closing down tomorrow (6/28/26), I would have loved to continue going back!

I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more Don't let the simple decor fool you - the chicken here is hands down one of the best hole in the wall locations for chicken that I've been to. Unlike your typical rotisserie or fried chicken, this place roasts their chicken in a large clay pot and the marinade is definitely not something that you can find easily. The smell of the chicken is so inviting on its own but you won't be able to smell it outside of the restaurant - gather some confidence and open that door! We got 1 whole chicken, bot chien, crispy rice, and a side of dry noodles. All of the sides are great - I've tried at least 1 option every time I come back here but my favorite is the dry noodles and crispy rice. Their chicken pairs TOOO WELL with the pickled veggies and their special soy sauce. I like mixing a little salt, pepper and lime in mine to make it extra sour but honestly, the chicken is great even without the sauce. It's a small restaurant and flagging down servers is not difficult but I love that they will come to check in on you pretty often without you putting out any effort. I've been here when it was super busy and when it's a little more free, the servers are nice, friendly & really responsive Pro tip : get more than 1 soy sauce!! You DEFINITELY will not be sharing it!

We got three items to try: hainan chicken rice (thigh), dry noodles and half a grilled chicken with…read morea side of com chay (crispy burned rice). I enjoyed the grilled chicken (3/5) as it was flavorful and their sauces paird nicely, but it wasn't memorable. The hainan chicken was so bad (1/5): the meat was chewy (but not in a good, free-range kind of way) and the skin was falling apart; the rice was incredibly dry and bland. I'd say this was the worst hainan chicken I've ever had. The crisy rice (1/5): the same rice was used for this dish. They just packed a big lump of it and fried it on both sides. So no, it wasn't good either. Servers were polite and friendly, so that's a positive. Also, they charge 3% credit card fee.

Otherwise, it is very dry. There is vinegar (and other condiments) readily available at each dining table but I do wish it was served with the meal ready-to-go. I like eating vinegary chunks of onion with my bangus. Everyone enjoyed their meal. If I were to go back (for my third time), I would definitely get the loaded tater tots again. Super tasty! Actually, definitely coming back for a third time to get those tater tots again!!
