Omeli's Spicy Wonton
Karen N.

ive been wanting to try this place for so long because i love a good viet fusion, and everything that my friend and i got was so good !!! - spicy wontons: they looked pretty unassuming and didn't have the typical bright red chili sauce that i'm used to seeing, but these were actually super yummy! very flavorful with a good kick to them, and the wontons were very soft and juicy - lomo saltado: i feel like you can never go wrong with a lomo saltado, and this one was really good as expected! the fries were crispy, the beef was soft and flavorful, and the green sauce really ties everything together - side salmon: i was craving a piece of salmon too and ordered it on the side, and it was cooked perfectly and was yummy with the green sauce - tra le che: lychee peach iced tea - very refreshing and not too sweet! overall, i loved every dish at omeli kitchen! it definitely gets crowded fast, so be prepared for a wait if you come at a busier meal time! atmosphere wise, it's a very clean restaurant with some decor and v-pop playing. the workers are also all really nice and attentive!

Nui Xao Bo (Macaroni Filet Mignon Beef)
Phi D.

I love the cozy as well as the liveliness when entering the restaurant. Me and my friend were seated right away upon the arrival and this place was pretty packed. Overall, the surface was very efficient and for it to be a Vietnamese concentrated staff I would say they exceeded excellence on their customer service. I don't say that lightly. Me and my friend each ordered one dish. My friend ordered the lomo saltado and I ordered the filet mignon macaroni dish. Keep in mind this is supposed to be a Vietnamese and Peruvian fusion restaurant so not everything will be Vietnamese approach. Lomo Saltado - 4/5 my friend said that it was more on the sauce that came with it was more on the sweeter side instead of the savory side, but overall it was enjoyable, and the beef was buttery. The macaroni filet mignon - 5/5 I personally really enjoyed it and just to be transparent. I'm not a salty tooth so for me it was perfect. Some people may want salts and they do have soy sauce type of dipping on the side. I barely touched it. The beef was perfectly tender and buttery. I also love the mushroom that came with it.

Lomo Saltado
Andrew D.

WOW! Amazing Viet food! From the outside, the restaurant is quite unassuming; essentially, a "hole-in-the-wall." Upon entering, there is definitely a "home-y" vibe with lots of plants lining the walls and warm lighting. You can really tell that the owners put a lot of thought into the ambience of the place. We were seated and served relatively quickly. I got the Lomo Saltado (recommended as the best seller by the waiter) while my friend got the garlic noodles with Salmon. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dishes. In particular, I thought the Lomo Saltado was seasoned perfectly with adequate portion size to pair with the rice. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the dishes on the menu. Highly recommend for those in the area looking to get some great Viet food!

BBQ Pork Roll
Christina O.

Came on a Sunday afternoon around 4pm and was seated quickly. It's a cute corner restaurant, with wood elf vibes - think lots of wood panels and fake plant/vines. service was fast. Ordered the bbq pork spring rolls, pho - short rib, and lomo saltado ($54 with tax). The spring rolls were good but nothing amazing. I really enjoyed the pho, which had two big pieces of short ribs. My fiancé loved his lomo saltado, the steak was super tender and the crinkle fries were crispy! He thought the aji sauce was okay - the proportions were slightly off but still good. I think too mayonnaise-y/thick/creamy compared to the ones from actual Peruvian restaurants. Definitely would come again, I want to try the ox tail fried rice and some of the other dishes.

Service was great. Food was delicious & everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Great place to have a meal with the family. Highly recommend the Pho. Broth was delicious.

Lomo Saltado to-go
Shirley W.

I placed my order online of a Lomo Saltado in advance to have it ready 30 mins later, but I received a notification 5 mins after I placed it that it will be almost ready? I was confused but I also did not want it to be ready that early or else my food will get cold! I had to call in to clarify and they were able to accommodate for a later time. Anyways, there is plenty of parking. Restaurant was a lot smaller than I thought, but it was pretty packed even at 5:30pm on a Friday night, so I assume it probably would be really busy during prime time. I walked in and asked about my online order, which then they told me that "they're still making it" lol.... so honestly the whole placing order ahead of time on their website is kinda wack. Luckily it didn't take tooo long for my order to be ready. There's not seating outside or anything, so I went across the plaza to find a spot to sit down and eat (bc I didn't want to dine alone haha). First bites, the overall flavors of the Lomo Saltado are very nice! The meat was very soft and tender, also very chewy. The fries were well seasoned. The Peruvian Green Sauce was also pretty nice with it, but not really needed since everything in the plate was already so flavorful. Portion size is kinda small for a Lomo Saltado plate, but it definitely filled me up. Overall, it's a nice plate! $20 is a little steep for the portion size and everything, but it's a pretty solid dish. It's something if you'd want to splurge.

Shaken beef rice bowl
Jason S.

We stopped in for dinner the other evening. There is a lot of available parking in the shopping center they are located in. The restaurant itself is small but charming and fills up fast. We had a kumquat lemon tea and a lychee peach ice tea. Both were refreshing and delicious. Then we had the Hawaiian chicken fried rice. Some of the best fried rice ever. The chicken was moist and tender and I loved the chunks of pineapple. Next up was the salmon garlic noodles. The noodles were great but that salmon was perfectly grilled. We also got an order of grilled tiger prawn vermicelli noodles. The prawns were large and buttery. The portion size was large and quite filling. And last but not least, the shaken beef rice bowl. Another large portion dish. The beef and vegetables were so flavorful and delicious. Solid dishes all around with friendly service will make this your new place in the OC!

Lobster Garlic Noodles
Eileen F.

This place has the tastiest Vietnamese fusion food in the area, and is a go-to lunch spot for me and all my coworkers. Everything is always tasty, and my personal favorite is trying all the different types of garlic noodles. This place literally never disappoints.

We were in the area and decided to have a quick dinner before we head home and we stumbled upon this eatery. The place was packed when we were there, we had to wait to be seated and were seated promptly after the table became available. Nice ambiance, cutely decorated and pretty clean. We were served by our friendly waitress named Grace. Ordered our food and we were all delighted by the flavor. The steak was cooked to perfection and the dipping sauce was yummy. The popcorn chicken was alright but it was the only thing our son wanted to eat. Will definitely be back for more of these yum.

Menu
Lance N.

Met with friends for an early dinner. They picked OMELI Kitchen and it was described to me as Vietnamese Peruvian fusion. No I didn't know what to think, as I have heard of Japanese Peruvian fusion before, but that makes more sense, since Peru has one of the highest population of Japanese, outside of Japan. Regardless I was excited to try this fusion. In the end, I picked Cajun tiger prawns and garlic noodles. The majority of the dishes, seemed to lean towards the Vietnamese side and I was ok with that too. I enjoyed my dish, but it was a bit salty for some reason and I don't know what was Cajun about it, and how that is fusion with Peru. Overall, I enjoyed it, but would lean towards trying something else the next time. The taro Vietnamese ice coffee was ok as well. Not strong in any direction though. The service was prompt and the staff were great. So it made for a pleasant dining experience. The ambiance was cozy, but a. Little loud. I probably wouldn't be able to bring my parents who have hearing issues. I would definitely go back again, as everyone else enjoyed their selections. So would definitely like to try their Saltado the next time. Enjoy...

Pho Supreme
Linny P.

Came for dinner on a Friday night - smaller restaurant and waited about 30 minutes for a table. Luckily parking lot is big. Ordered the following items: - Popcorn chicken ($9.99) - Pho beef belly ($14.95) - Pho supreme ($18.95) Really enjoyed the popcorn chicken, portion was good! I would recommend the supreme - the meat on the short rib was super tender! Similar to some other pho spots, they give you unlimited pho noodles when you dine in. I know this is strange, but the broth in the beef belly pho and the supreme pho tasted different. The beef belly pho didn't have a strong pho taste, was lighter, and not as good. However, supreme had more flavor and definitely better. My bf agreed as well. Overall, it's a decent spot and the customer service was good.

Lomo Saltado
Angela C.

Came across this Vietnamese Peruvian fusion which had a very similar menu to another popular restaurant in OC, so I was curious to how this compares. I got the Lomo Saltado, Grilled chicken garlic noodles, and the Combination pho. The rice in the Lomo saltado was disappointing as it was very soggy. The meat was nice and tender, and the sauce didn't have much flavor. The rice being soggy definitely ruined the overall dish itself. The garlic noodles were good, but not too strong of a garlic flavor. I would say it's a good standard garlic noodles dish, but didn't stand out. Lastly the pho meat was good, but again, noodles were not good. The initial noodle it came with was too starchy and the refill batch were undercooked. Overall the carbs (rice and noodles) that came with the dish did not complement the proteins which is so important as they are a staple! Service was good with a good restaurant ambiance. Overall, I'd probably stick with the other more popular Vietnamese Peruvian restaurant here in the OC.

Cucumber Salad
May C.

Started off with their cucumber salad, which was perfect for this hot weather -- super refreshing and a nice light start before the main dishes came out. Then we got the oxtail fried rice and their short rib pho, and both were solid. The fried rice had great flavor and the oxtail made it extra rich and satisfying. The short rib pho was comforting and hearty -- definitely one of those bowls you just keep going back to. For drinks we tried the Ocean Pacific (which honestly tasted like candy... and I mean that in the best way possible because I love sweet drinks) and their strawberry lemonade, which was super refreshing. Service was good and the place was packed -- like everyone and their mama was out today. But honestly that's always a good sign when a spot is busy like that. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. Good food, refreshing drinks, and a lively vibe. Would visit again for sure

The food is why we return…read more Parking here isn't bad! There's enough space to drive around in peace. Leaving the lot though, I recommend you be safe and aware. At random hours, there can be tons of movement outside the restaurant. The food here?? Oh my gosh. I absolutely love that combination plate. I always order the combination meat with grilled chicken vermicelli noodles. I think this time I went was probably the best I've received! My boyfriend and I decided to try their fried rice because we constantly order the same thing here and in all honesty? It was delicious! They added a generous amount of beef to the dish. I honestly thought it was great. Their lemonade straight up tastes like lemons were truly used (we have a lemon tree and it reminds me of my dad's lemonade.) Highly recommend the food here. The environment here is so cozy. I absolutely love coming here at night because the interior is lit up by some string lights wrapping around the restaurant. Great family friendly spot and an excellent date spot. The service? It felt awkward coming in. The 3 people at the counter just stood there staring at us I'm like so do I just go pick a seat or something haha. Eventually the person who would be our actual server showed us to our table and was one of those "I'm here to get things done" kinda workers. Everything came out in an efficient manner and we were checked up on when necessary. No complaints here :) As always though, will definitely be coming back

This place have been on my list for a while since I live in the area as it has great reviews…read more Unfortunately everything was a miss here. The food was not very authentic. Tried the pho lunch combo with spring rolls for $23... the pho here was flavorless, but the rib meat was good, but for Vietnamese I was hopeful that their pho was at least good but I say this was most disappointing and also got to try their chicken bahn mi, I guess having to try various spots like THH Carrot and Daikon or pickle bahn mi, this doesn't even come close Not sure if we ordered the wrong stuff but food was nonetheless subpar However service was great and staff was very nice

Soup Shop is honestly one of the best places to go after a long night out. The fact that it's open…read morelate makes it even better because sometimes all you want is something warm and comforting, and this place really hits the spot. It's the kind of meal that just heals your soul after a tiring night. Their pho is easily one of the best I've had. The broth is rich, flavorful, and really comforting with every sip. You can tell it's been simmered well because the flavor is deep without being too heavy. Paired with the noodles and fresh toppings, it's the kind of bowl that feels both satisfying and refreshing at the same time. The appetizers are also really delicious, and they're a great way to start the meal before the pho arrives. Everything tastes fresh and well prepared, which makes the whole dining experience even better. Another thing I appreciate is how nice and welcoming the staff are. Even when it's later at night, they're still friendly and make the place feel comfortable to dine in. The ambiance is clean and simple, which adds to the relaxing feeling of being there. It's not overly fancy, but it's a cozy and comfortable environment where you can just sit down, enjoy your food, and recharge.

I ordered my usual pho combination (ribeye and brisket only), the meat quality was solid -- the brisket was tender. One thing that really disappointed me was that the noodles aren't refillable here. At the Irvine location, that's kind of their signature perk, so it definitely felt like something was missing. Service was okay, but it was tough to flag anyone down. The ambiance also needs some love -- the booth seating had ripped leather and wasn't very comfortable.
