    Singapore Laksa

    This visit was so much different. More friendly and attentive staffs, even we came in 30 minutes before the closing time. We were well taken care of. We had Crispy Chicken Garlic Rice Bowl with well done egg, which was super tasty! While Crispy Cod Dry Noodle a little bit off to my personal preference due too much strong spices especially the pepper! Other than that we really enjoyed our dining time

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I finally had the chance to do just that. Service was friendly and quick. We both ordered the dry noodles with the crispy cod and a nice cold Japanese beer. What a great combination! We really enjoyed our lunch here and will definitely be back! They have a good lunch deal too!

    Le Shrimp Noodle Bar was participating in OC Restaurant Week & I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try it out! Our group ordered the big prawn noodle and the crispy cod dry noodle, along with 3 different side options (spinach, bok choy, and fries). The noodles include an option for wide or thin noodle, based on your preference, and the dry noodles have a spicy or non-spicy option. Be warned, I would only come here if you really like shrimp. The 48hr noodle broth that they're known for is quite shrimpy, seemly giving a taste made from the shrimp head guts. If not a huge fan of the shrimp head parts, I would opt for the dry noodles. I got the spicy, which is more of a chili oil noodle. It was seasoned well though could be a bit salty if eating with the fried cod. The cod itself was nice and flaky, though I wish there was less breading and larger fish pieces. I would have loved a side of some soup with the dry noodle. The veggie sides were a good complement to the dry noodles and soup, though it was too salty since it was almost drenched in sauce. Fries were decent, provided an alternate texture.

    For a limited time they are serving the Singapore Style Hanianese Chicken Rice for $15.95. Came on a busy Saturday and all the servers were busy cleaning tables, serving food, etc. It took some time to get sat down for a table. Appreciate that the shop has a plenty of seats. The food came pretty quick and portion is good. Not too little and not too much! Chicken is tender, but I'm a fan of dark meat. The only 2 options were skinless breast meat only, or 1/2 thigh 1/2 breast. Rice is flavorful. It was a hearty meal as it also have a small soup on the side. Definitely make it a permanent item on the menu.

    I am a big fan of paradise dynasty. So I had to try their sister restaurant Le shrimp noodle bar. Located at the spectrum. It was a very nice layout. I like the open space feeling. Ian was super nice. Went above and beyond for our experience Off their taste of Singapore menu. I really enjoyed their hainam chicken. Rice was flavored so well. Chicken cooked perfectly. All the sauces spot on. What a great dish I got their A1 signature trio soup on thin noodles. I do wish the noodles a bit more Aldente but overall a great soup. Shrimp based broth is nothing like I ever had before. Shrimps cooked well. Shrimp tacos were very easy to eat. Great appetizer Wontons are excellent as expected. Spinach was very good also. Overall excellent experience. From the food. To the service even the to go containers I loved. Having the soup and noodles separated is genius.

    Hainan Chicken + Laksa Noodles

    yummmm!! personally like this location better than the south coast one due to more seating and outdoor ambiance. I highly recommend the new menu items: hainan chicken + laksa noodles! Super solid hainan chicken with rice. This is my go to spot for some savory classic Singaporean dishes. PSA shoutout to Ian! He was such an amazing server and gave exceptional customer service :)

    Our first time to Le Shrimp Noodle Bar and we are fans! We've passed by the location at South Coast but have never stopped to try. We came by tonight with grandparents, parents and kids all approve! 5/5 stars across 3 generations and especially hard to impress my MIL but she was a fan of the new Singaporean special menu item - Hainan Chicken Rice! We really hope they decide to keep this item on their menu full-time. The service was also extremely nice. Love that they're super kid friendly with the kid utensils and plates. Will definitely be back to try more dishes!

    The broth! The shrimp broth was flavorful! Server was really nice. We ordered the thin noodles and it was cooked al dente! Service size was perfect for me and the shrimp was cooked well.

    My daughter and I came here to meet up my friends. We have high hopes for the place especially being advertised for having Singaporean Laksa Noodles. The noodles in Singaporean Laksa Noodles were overcooked so the noodles were partially broken. The broth was pretty decent. We also ordered Hainan Chicken rice but it never came out. Hence, we never got to try it. My daughter had the braise chicken noodles and she liked it. It's located next to Pho Saigon Pearl. Service was a little slow and not as attentive. Our waters were only refilled once. Decent portion for the value.

    Came here last Friday around 4:30. I ordered the Signature Trio Shrimp Noodle with thin noodles -- rich, savory, smokey and prawn-forward broth that was comforting especially on a cold evening. The broth was definitely the star: deeply flavored, and layered without being heavy. Service was warm, and efficient. The space is bright and modern, and I love how open this location was. If you love bold, prawn-forward flavors, you should check them out .

    I had to pick up an online order at the Irvine Spectrum today so stopped by Le Shrimp Noodle Bar for an early dinner. Was going to order the trio shrimp noodles but the server talked me into ordering the Singapore Laksa noodles instead. He said it's pretty good here so I thought I'd give it a try. The noodles were a bit too overdone for me. I like my noodles el dente instead. Also, the broth was a bit too salty. I love laksa and ate a lot of it, with either noodles or rice, when I was in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur so I can tell the difference. But it is still good and not too many restaurants serving this dish in Orange County. Just need to perfecting it a bit more. Service was fine. Only a few people in the restaurant since it was too early for dinner but too late for lunch :) so it was rather quiet.

    Wow wow wow! So we would see this place in south coast plaza a lot, but it was always so busy we usually decided against going because of the crowds. Well now they opened in Irvine spectrum, and they have outdoor seating and are open to the outside, so it feels a bit safer and we can enjoy! The food was SO Tasty, and they have vegan, meat and seafood options, all so tasty! The server victor was so sweet and helped us when they ran out of braised tofu for the vegan noodles, he offered other options and I added the chilled tofu and he agreed to bring extra sauce, and man, was delicious! It was so tastyyyy! Thank you victor for a wonderful experience and the chefs for a tasty meal - will be back!

    I'm a frequent visitor to Le Shrimp Noodle Bar in Costa Mesa since my office is right across the street and their lunch deals are hard to beat. We recently stopped by during shopping after seeing they were launching laksa and chicken rice, two true Singaporean specialties. The laksa isn't your typical version, and I mean that in the best way. Instead of an overwhelming coconut cream base, it leans more toward a deeply umami shrimp-forward broth, which I personally prefer. The chicken rice was excellent. The chicken was incredibly moist, and the rice was fragrant with rich chicken broth flavor. We also added the signature shrimp trio and dry wonton noodles, which are always a winning choice. Shoutout to Lan for making our experience especially enjoyable!

    A Legendary Slurp - Gone But Never Forgotten It is a true…read moretragedy for the Orange County food scene that Hakata Ikkousha in Costa Mesa has closed its doors. This wasn't just a "ramen joint"--it was a masterclass in authentic Fukuoka-style soul food. The Broth: Liquid Gold The standout was always their Signature Tonkotsu broth. You could literally taste the 30+ hours of labor that went into it. It had that distinct "frothy" texture (the bubble of the bone marrow) that you only find in high-end Hakata shops. It was rich, creamy, and carried a deep umami funk without ever being overly greasy. The Hits * Black Tonkotsu: The roasted garlic oil (mayu) added a smoky, dark complexity that ruined all other garlic ramens for me. * God Fire: For those who like to sweat, this offered the perfect balance of heat without sacrificing the integrity of the pork flavor. * The Karaage: Genuinely some of the best fried chicken in the area. Massive, juicy thigh meat with a shattering, thin crust and that addictive spicy mayo on the side. * Customization: I loved that they let you pick your noodle firmness. "Hard" was the only way to go to ensure that perfect snap with every bite. The Atmosphere The Costa Mesa location always had a great energy--functional, clean, and unpretentious. The staff were always efficient, greeting everyone with a loud "Irasshaimase!" that made the experience feel truly authentic. It's heartbreaking to see such a high-caliber spot leave the neighborhood. If you were lucky enough to eat here, you know we lost a heavy hitter. To the team at Ikkousha: thank you for the memories and the best bowls in the city. You'll be sorely missed! Note: For those still craving that specific broth, their Torrance locations are still holding it down--definitely worth the drive to keep the dream alive. Come back to OC! !

Both had such a rich, deep flavor. I haven't had a broth as good. The chicken karaage was also slept on. It came with just salt and mayo, and it was simple, juicy, and crispy. One day, I'll go to the Torrance location and try Hakata again. Until then...
