Their wings were sticky and juicy at the same time with the right amount of fat. The taste had an umami flavor and was a great way to start breakfast . I had the crab curry omelette as my main which had a subtle crab and curry taste atop the egg. My boyfriend had a salmon with rice that came with sauce that I drizzled on my dish and it brought out more flavor. Their Vietnamese coffee is to die for! I had the egg yolk Vietnamese coffee and the cream was smooth and sweet, making the perfect pair for the strong vietnamese coffee. Whenever I am back in Irvine, I will be coming back to NEP. Price (5/5): Totally worth the price Ambiance (5/5): Aside from how spacious this place is, the interior is a beautiful modern and island look. Service (5/5): Surprisingly fast! The waitress we had was also so sweet and very attentive to our 7 person party. Everyhting else came out so fast, which was surprising for a busy Sunday morning for NEP.

My family and I stopped in for Tuesday lunch, and I was pleasantly surprised by how lively it was,…read morethere were quite a few tables for a weekday afternoon. We ordered the mapo tofu with beef, kung pao chicken, and the dongpo pork belly with preserved vegetables. I was impressed with the authentic flavors and quality. The pork belly melts in your mouth exactly as it should. Mapo tofu delivered the ideal mala (numbing and spicy) kick that wasn't overly spicy. As for the kung pao chicken, at first I thought the peanuts seemed a bit underdone but the flavor was so aromatic. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion size. Would be happy to come back!

The restaurant is large and service is quick so we waited just 5 mins for a table on a Saturday night. It has traditional look inside although the booth seating could use some updating as it seemed to have tape or something. My partner always wanted to try the classic dongpo braised pork belly. They do an individual portion here and I didn't realize it also comes with rice and picked mustard greens. It's the perfect size to try this dish and it's very hearty. It's a bit sweeter tasting here but tender. It comes with a spoon because you should be able to just cut into it with that. I also tried a seasonal item of tofu with crab roe. It was fresher tasting than I had expected. It was lightly seasoned and not too fishy. It had the grittiness of the crab roe and head along with some shrimp I believe. I think I would've liked a bit more flavor. With my leftovers, I added chili crisp to it the next day and it was great. Beef chow fun was amazing. It had the perfect flavor, rice noodles were tender and not all clumped up with some noodles seasoned and other not. It tasted like fresh noodles and had that wonderful wok hei flavor. Definitely a must order. This place is known for the duck but my partner does not enjoy it unfortunately. I will have to try it one day!

Definitely my fave dish! My husband got the Tom Yum Noodles with a medium spice level. Unlike the previous visit, medium spice was perfect for him. Service is attentive and friendly.

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

They used to have a buy one, get one free deal, but they recently stopped offering it, so naturally I haven't ordered in a while. The atmosphere is super cute, and the tall bartender/manager was incredibly kind.

My favorites are the lo mein, spicy edamame, and miso soup. So good! Definitely recommend.

We sat at the bar for about two hours, and the bartender spent most of his time talking to his friends who were sitting at the bar rather than paying attention to other customers. When I asked for a specific cocktail, he simply told me they didn't have it and didn't offer any alternative or suggest something similar. The sushi was delicious and we had no complaints about the food at all, but the service really affected our overall experience. We felt ignored and unattended to for most of the time we were there. Great food, but the bar service definitely needs improvement.

All the dishes are full of flavor and cooked to perfection. My go to is the lomo saltado with filet minion or picanha cooked medium rare.

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