My…read morefavorites are the fried rice and the lomo saltado both are consistently good and definitely what I keep coming back for. If you go late at night like I do, the ambience is really quiet and chill, which I actually like. It's a nice low-key spot to grab food without the usual crowd, and the food usually comes out pretty fast. Also, you have to try the popcorn chicken it's really good and worth adding to your order. Service is average, but it makes sense since there's usually only one person working at night. If it gets busy, there might be a bit of a wait, but it's understandable. Overall, a solid late-night food spot with good portions, fast service, and a chill vibe

Overall pretty good!…read more I came here with my family so I had a very large party. I was lucky to receive my dish pretty quickly, but some of the other people in my party had to wait quite a bit. But I think the staff were working as fast as they could so ultimately, i think service was fine. I tried the lomo saltado with beef, fries and garlic noodles. Overall tasted great. The fries still managed to have a crispy texture and had a sweet and savory sauce flavor to them. The beef cubes were tender and cooked just right. The noodles were fine as well. I liked that the noodles werent too heavy. The portion size is very large though, i was very full by the end of it. The green milk tea was good too. The milk, sugar, and tea ratios were all balanced and the flavor was subtle. It had an interesting flavor that reminded me of grass jelly and milk, but in a good way.

Trisha was my server and made sure I got my refill before leaving. I was in and out, barely any wait and I love that! Thank you for the amazing service and food!

Make a reservation, for wait times get close to an hour on the weekend. One of my favorite restaurants, highly recommend!

I've tried almost everything on the menu, and the food is always so flavorful and delicious. My absolute favorites are the Tom Kha Pasta, Dao, Beef Tongue Fried Rice, and Crab Toast. I could order these over and over again and honestly never get tired of them. I come here probably about once a month, especially when I'm craving something with FLAVORRR or when I can't think of anywhere good to eat in Fountain Valley. NEP Cafe is definitely my go-to! When you walk in, it definitely feels clean and airy. If it's your first time here, PLEASE try the Tom Kha Pasta it's SO good and probably one of my favorite dishes anywhere. I also love introducing my friends and family to this restaurant whenever they're in the area. It's one of those places I'm always excited to recommend because I know they're going to love it. If you haven't tried NEP Cafe yet, definitely add it to your list!

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.

We were at the mouse house and it was starting to feel like the furnace really opened up, so we…read moredecided to head out and see what's nearby. Although it is a short bit of a drive, it's definitely well worth it! Located in a small plaza, it's easy to turn into, but parking might be a little scarce depending on when you go, as there are quite a number of small businesses within the plaza. Although there are two spots marked for the restaurant in front.....it's right next to the entrance and exit driveway, so keep your eyes open when backing in or out. Inside is very spatious, there is a lot of room that can be filled with tables, and a lot of walls. There were quite a few people dining inside, so it definitely wasnt a ghost town. Service was okay though....it took a while for the server to pop in and check on people, then he'd be gone for a bit. It was hard to see because of the walls. The food is definitely worth the drive! As others have said, this is a combination of two restaurant's menus, with a few slight tweaks. The garlic noodles are good...but not as flavorful as what we're used to. The calamari and popcorn chicken were nice and hot coming out, cooked crispy and juicy. The spicy wontons were also quite tasty......the sauce is sweet with a very slight kick at the end that hits your throat more than your tongue. I felt that the filet mignon and mushroom stir fry's flavor rivals the other restaurant we tend to frequent....but another scoop of rice would be perfect. The pear salad was a hit though. The flavor is just as good, if not better than where we usually go, and they give a generous amount of pear slices. We're used to only getting three or four pieces, but i counted at least 8 or 9 here. No refills on the drinks, and sodas are in cans that come with a metal cup of ice. Will we be back? Definitely! It's a much shorter drive and the food is just as good!

I really enjoyed the Japanese-Italian fusion concept--creative, but the flavors still worked really well together. We tried several dishes, including the steak, seafood pasta, scallops, pork with steamed buns, and a variety of desserts. The seafood was fresh, the meats were tender and flavorful, and the pasta dishes were rich without being too heavy. Dessert was a great way to finish the meal. The omakase menu was perfect for our group because we got to try a little bit of everything instead of ordering just one entrée. Great food, nice presentation, and a unique combination of Japanese and Italian flavors. Definitely a place I'd come back to with friends!

We ordered the Papaya Salad, Garlic Chicken Rolls and their Beef Jerky Special. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and she gave us special instructions on how to eat everything, such as eating the jerky with a small ball of sticky rice and sauce, followed by a mouthful of papaya salad as a palate cleanser--We followed those instructions to a T and it was truly enjoyable! For impressions of each Entree: The Papaya Salad is incredible, we ordered it with a mild spice level sauce. It's light, flavorful and refreshing and serves as a perfect palate cleanser if you order it with another item, but having it on its own is perfectly fine as well. The Garlic Chicken Roll was fantastic, crispy roll and tender chicken on the inside. It came with a sweet dipping sauce that had a flavor we weren't expecting but a nice surprise. The Beef Jerky Special: I absolutely love the idea of the beef jerky with a crispy-charred outer shell. My critique would be to dial back the charred-ness a little bit so that it doesn't dominate the center flavor. It goes perfectly well with the sticky rice and the sauce it comes with is really nice. Really great establishment with great customer service, I look forward to visiting again!

The pork belly was SO tender. I think they probably sous vide it as it just melts in your mouth like butter. Even the Spicy Miso Ramen. FUN FACT: You can also get unlimited free noodles. I tried to finish the 2nd order of noodles but I was way too full. Service was awesome. Food came out super quick. Servers were attentive and kept coming by to ask if I wanted free noodles 3 times but maybe I'm just a slow eater. Dope ambiance as it's a more modern take on ramen places with cocktails and all kinds of different dishes. Overall, 11/10 would recommend to any restaurant from Kei Concepts in the same plaza.
