    Rib Eye Garlic Noodles
    Zarifa A.

    Omeli is a super solid option for Vietnamese/Peruvian fusion food. This spot is on the Yelp Top 100 Restaurants in the OC and I'd say it's well deserved. The menu has a decent variety of food, including garlic noodles, rice bowls, fried rice, pho, and other items. During my visit, I ordered the garlic noodles with shaken beef and all I have to say is YUM. I absolutely enjoyed everything about it and would highly recommend it. The store itself is pretty casual and the service is friendly. It's in a strip mall with a parking lot, however, parking here is tough because it shares the lot with the gym.

    Stopped by on a Thursday night and the restaurant was busy, so we had a short wait before getting seated. Parking is available in a lot, but it was pretty full when we arrived, so we ended up parking farther away, but still within the same lot. Inside was nice, and we were seated in the corner so had some privacy to our meal. We ordered a few different dishes to share, and honestly, everything was really good. The cucumber salad was simple but well done. The cucumbers were crunchy, and the dressing had plenty of flavor without being too heavy. The spicy wontons had a nice kick, although they were a little salty for my taste. Still, the spice and overall flavor made them easy to keep eating. The Filet Fried Rice was another standout. The filet was tender, and the fried rice itself had a good balance of flavor without being overly greasy. The Grilled Chicken Garlic Noodles were also solid, with a good amount of garlic flavor that paired well with the chicken. It was great, but nothing that blew my mind. My favorite might have been the Saltado Fries. They were extremely crispy and packed with flavor, and I love a good combination of the fries with savory toppings. Service was good despite the restaurant being busy, and everything came out tasting fresh and well prepared. Overall, I'm excited to go back.

    I'm a big fan of both Vietnamese and Peruvian food so I'm glad we have Omeli close to home. We had three dishes and the nui bo luc lac was our favorite. Amazing flavors and cooked really well. Good chewy noodles, crunchy sautéd veggies and tender filet. Ended up finishing that dish until the plate was empty. We also had the grilled pork rice bowl which was also good. The fish sauce has a bit of a kick to it and was very flavorful. The pork itself was a touch too salty for me but the amount of pork they gave was so generous. I found myself wanting more rice (in a good way) to balance all the meat they gave. Lastly we had the beef ball pho. I don't know what it was but it was extremely salty or vinegar and had a distinct taste that wasn't to my liking. The onions/cilantro provided with it were also very wilted. I don't want to ding them too hard on the pho since it's the other specialty dishes that they're known for, and we would absolutely come back. Bonus was a side of salmon which was cooked perfectly. Nice sear on the outside and very tender and juicy on the inside. They gave a side of their green sauce which goes great with any dish there.

    Pho short rib ($16.95)

    Omeli Kitchen is a Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion restaurant located in Fullerton near CSUF. If you're familiar with Kei Concept's Sup Noodle Bar or Vox Kitchen, this place is very similar in terms of their offerings. This restaurant is located in a plaza with a decent amount of parking. We put our name on the Yelp waitlist and were seated immediately. We ordered the pho short rib ($16.95), lomo saltado ($19.95), and omeli's spicy wontons ($13.95). The pho came in a huge bowl with huge ribs that were tender. I liked that the broth was saltier than others I've had that it didn't need any of the typical fixings like hoisin sauce or sriracha. Also, like Sup and Vox they provided unlimited refills on noodles and gave larger portions of extra noodles. The lomo saltado had a smaller portion of beef although it was tender. I typically like to upgrade my rice to garlic noodles but it was $8 extra which didn't feel worth it to me. The spicy wontons were spicier than they looked but the sauce didn't coat the wontons the way others do; it wasn't as thick of a sauce and it was less hints of chili oil and more of sesame oil.

    Raven R.

    Came here for dinner. There's plenty of parking since it's located in the spacious plaza. There isna bit of a wait during peak times but it wasn't too bad when we were there. Staff is nice and helpful. I got the lomo saltado. Lomo Saltado- Beef is tender. The sauce is savory and there's a good amount to cover everything plus the rice. Potatoes have a nice crisp to them. Flavors and textures are on point. Great experience overall!

    Garlic noodles with prawns
    Devi S.

    This small Vietnamese owned restaurant is a secret Fullerton gem - fusion restaurant. They are known for their lomo saltado. However, my son loves their garlic noodles with prawns. Even on a hot day, you will see diners, selecting their spare rib pho because it has unlimited noodles and is so savory and rich in its broth. The service is very friendly and fast. You will not regret eating at Omeli kitchen.

    Yes, in a strip mall

    Outstanding dining experience. Delicious food with lots of variety, huge portions, great service, very reasonable prices. I mean, really. I'm rarely in Fullerton, but that's what I love about Yelp. I'll just start researching - like I've been doing for kinda forever, lol -- and usually find some local gems that I would have never known about. OMELI was right there - and not even from the Sponsored section. Caught my eye with all the great reviews, PLUS that they serve one of my fave dishes, Lomo Saltado. But, like I almost always do, I asked the server (who was awesome btw), and told her that both that and the Pho Supreme each looked like the big hearty dishes I was looking for. She said they've both great, either way. I rationalized that the Pho Supreme with ALL that protein (short-rib, filet mignon, beef belly, brisket & meatball) was calling me. Man, the size of the bone with all that beef hanging off it was a showstopper. The beef broth was rich but not salty (no dry mouth later), and of course, the Pho. You get unlimited pho btw, but heck I could barely finish what I had. TLDR: this dish is great to share and/or one that you might need to finish later. Appetizers? I don't often do appetizers but I loved the menu (and MAYBE I was also starving), that I tried the refreshing Spring Crunch Slaw. Absolute winner. Crunchy cabbage, carrot, cilantro, roasted peanuts, fried shallots, chili oil, sesame peanut dressing. Yum! You can add a protein to that, and the tofu seemed like a good idea. My server absolutely seconded that motion. So good. The giant blocks of tofu are lightly fried and sat atop the deeply satisfying slaw. Two giant dishes, leftovers galore, and it didn't even break $30. I ended up taking a Vietnamese Iced Coffee to go, and that was a sweet and tasty way to drive home. And they're open til 1am !! Highly recommended.

    Chicken Saltado
    Angela C.

    I heard lots of great things about Omeli so when I was in the area I had to stop by. It's a Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion restaurant so I was excited to give it a go. We got there right when it opened so we were able to get any table we wanted. I loved the decor in here, very modern and organic vibes. We ordered: Omeli's Spicy Wonton Chicken Saltado Pho chicken (free additional pho noodles upon request - yay!) Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles Wow...with the exception of the super dry chicken in the pho, everything was great! My kids especially LOVED the shaken beef garlic noodles and the chicken Saltado. Like I said, the chicken in the pho was dry and not good, but the pho broth was great. The noodles were hard when I first got the bowl, but if you let it soak in the broth for a bit, it will eventually soften up. I liked that you get extra noodles if you want more. Service was a bit lacking, our server never came to check on us, we had to wave him down every time we needed something. I give this place a solid 4.5!

    wow, this has easily become my GO TO spot for Vietnamese food! been here twice and I will definitely be coming back again. brisket pho: very good pho. didn't need the extra hoisin sauce, the flavor of the broth is so rich and tasty. 10/10 pho. good serving size as well. shaken beef fried rice: 8/10. the shaken beef was amazing, peppery umami goodness. the friend rice was standard. amazing service here! workers are nice! ambiance: very causal spot! handful of seating, so be sure to get here early on a busy night.

    Combo Pho
    Joshua T.

    We ordered pick up and it was ready upon arrival. Pho broth tasted pretty good, shrimp spring rolls were fat and yummy, the filet mignon Mac n cheese was suprisingly good and smokey flavored. We also got the deja vu lemonade that was really good!

    Lomo Saltado
    Tiffany P.

    Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion done right. Loved everything we ate here! Omeli's Spicy Wonton: I could eat this all day and call it a perfect meal. Super tasty chili oil. Lomo Saltado: Tender beef and well-seasoned. An easy crowd-pleaser. The space is gorgeous, filled with warm aromas and a bustling atmosphere. Friendly, sociable staff made the experience even better. A memorable meal from start to finish.

    Robbie M.

    I was in the area and was looking for something to eat and glad i stopped by here, a Vietnamese and Peruvian fusion which is a perfect combination. I ordered the chicken saltado and the salmon garlic noodles were great dishes! The chicken saltado: chicken, veggies, fries were all well season and all the flavors were bold and absolutely delicious. I think it's worth the price and to try, the plate was full and presentation looks stunning. Salmon Garlic Noodles: Salmon was crispy and tender and has a little weight to it, garlic noodles was good. Adding hoisin sauce and chili oil gave it more pop in flavor. I'd say dinner was a success and definitely need to come back to this location for sure.

    Spring Crunch slaw
    Margarette L.

    Found this spot after my boyfriend and I finished working out late and wanted real food ASAP. OMeLi Kitchen in Fullerton just so happens to be super close to the gym AND open late til 1 AM. I've already been here twice this month lol because it's genuinely so good, and now I've been bringing my family too. My favorite is their bún thịt nướng...the sauce is so good, and I love their spring crunch slaw. Honestly, everything we've tried has been solid. Good serving sizes, super satisfying, and I'm just happy they're open late.

It's a bigger portion than the dish I had more than a year ago. Also, this doesn't have wonton strips and peas. You order at front, and food and drinks get sent to your table. There's also a 3% surcharge to your subtotal for using a card. They cook your food to order here, and I could smell the fried rice getting prepared on the stove. The fried rice is strong in flavor but not too salty. It's similar to what you might get from a teppanyaki restaurant. The chicken was also good, but I felt that the rice had much more flavor. It wasn't really juicy as well. Otherwise, this made for a great dish, and I had some leftovers for the next day.

    Any way you look at it Pollo a la Brasa is the perfect entree--scrumptious rotisserie chicken…read moreperfectly seasoned, a plateful of fries, and one of the most exquisite sauces known to man in the aji verde. Sabor perpetuates this reputation by having a nigh-perfect example of how to make this dish sing. I loved every bite of this, even at $21 for the half-chicken version of it. The service was okay--quick to answer questions and getting our food out to us in a relatively timely manner. What was nice too is Sabor didn't go the route of charging for each aji verde sauce, which I liked. When you're used to going through half-a-bottle with every polla a la brasa meal, it's very important that that wonderful concoction is ready to go when you're ready for another bite of chicken, fries, or sometimes by itself. The space is kind of limited and I really wish it had more diners coming through. But as it was it had an okay vibe to it, like you're eating at your local spot that the tourists and gawkers haven't caught up with. I think it's a prime candidate for just bringing a book to allow time for your food to digest after. I think this spot will be a new addition to the local eat rotation, especially after the Fullerton Central Library meet-ups.

    My son took me to Akashiro for my birthday. What a treat this was!!…read more He ordered the full omakase experience for us. I didn't know what to expect, but WOW! It's a like a dining adventure. Fifteen courses that are surprises because even tho there's a "template" of types of dishes, each one is ultimately the chef's choice. As each course was brought out, our waiter did an excellent job of describing what each item was and it's place of origin. Fifteen courses is alot to try to remember each specific dish so I decided to stay in the moment (after I snapped a pic) and enjoyed each one as we had them and talked about the flavor profiles and what we liked best about it. When my son had made the reservation he must have told them we were celebrating my birthday because in addition to the regular dessert course, our server brought me a birthday dessert which included green tea ice cream and a slice of matcha cheesecake. The full omakase experience was delicious and so fun! I told my son that it was like an advent calendar ~ each course we "opened" had us saying "ooo, how yummy" and left us with almost giddy anticipation of what we'd discover next. If you're looking for something fun and unique for a special occasion, I highly recommend the full omakase experience at Akashiro!

So we found this place and it was in the same vicinity and yay, they took reservations. Made reservations same day for a 18:30 seating. Service is impeccable. We were welcomed with hot towels, and this impressed me: when our server asked if we wanted cold or hot water. Love it! We opted for hot, better for digestion :) Our libation: Kubota sake - semi dry, rich, clean Our dishes: Assorted sashimi (16 pcs) - omakase. No soy sauce needed. Chef prepared with delicious flavors in mind. Tiger scallops - served in a what appears to resemble petrified wood, carved into a long boatlike dish. Hokkaido shrimp, cilantro oil, chilaquita (Peruvian onion relish), sweet potato crisp, smoke aji Amarillo (Peruvian yellow chili) Leche de tigre (rich emulsion of limes, Peruvian spices and chilis) - A complexity of flavors that comes together so completely. Eat with spoon. The delicate potato crisp finishes the bite with a little crunch. Udon picante - bell peppers, quinoa and 2 jumbo shrimp. Love the heat level. Comfort food at its best. Salmon parmesan - Nikkei sushi - seared salmon, parmesan bitter, eel sauce , arare, lime. Amazing. O toro sushi - the fattiest cut of tuna. Eat as is. Again chef prepared. No added seasoning required. Parri maki - fried shrimp, cream cheese, seared tuna topped with chimichurri, aji amarillo, chalaquita, ponzu. Food experience was enhanced by their impeccable taste in music. Super chill, soft beats stream the restaurant. With its perfect lighting too sets all the good moods for us. Don't wait for this fine dining experience of Japanese and Peruvian fusion. Note: when they ask if you want soy sauce, say No, thank you. It would be a shame to kill the taste of a beautiful dish with any added sauce. Kampai! Salud!

    Excellent cerviche! Lunch specials are a great deal…read more Clean pleasant restaurant. Service was fast, friendly and efficient.

    Review specific to waiter- Not food…read more Local place, for us at work, we often call and place orders for food, but there is 1 male waiter there that isn't friendly. So we deal with it and order and eat from there any way... Today, was a different story, we came in got greeted by the cook as we walked in, sat down, 10 mins later the waiter finally acknowledged us siting, after passing by us multiple times. We place our order, Thankfully the food came out, and was good (thanks Mr cook). 1 one of us at the table asked for the salsa, they normally give you with the food, He doesn't seemed to please and come back with 1 small salsa for 2 adults with large plates, non the less we didn't say anything we ate our food, and did not anything, at this whole time we finished out meal and our amazing waiter had yet to come see if we perhaps needed water or something, 10 mins later we stand up and go pay at the counter, with him because he was now cooking. . After terrible service from him we close the check, and he tells my brother "you don't know how to say thank you?" My brother hadn't really heard him so he softly said thank you and waived goodbye, he starts walking to the door and says "hey! " you don't know how to say thank you or what? For the second time... Again my brother just smiles and waives it off, no avoid any issues. We get in our car, and we see him walk outside, clearly hot and bothered, So now I get out the car to see what the deal is.... After watching my demeanor change... he changes his and with his attitude says ohh there's no problem here.... And we end it there... horrible horrible horrible service from that man.... IF YOU ARE HAVING A BAD day!! IF YOU HAVE the wrong attitude than your in the wrong business, don't be in the customer service area!! Most definitely not return... Food is great.... This particular waiter... not even close... Sorry higo.. this review is strictly for that.

    Anniversary dinner last night was great as usual. Saw many one or two star reviews. Wondering…read morewhether owners have shifted their attentions to their new Seafood bar in Huntington Beach? Been a customer for over 25 yrs. Gotta say the aji green salsa is still good. But not as good as it used to be. Same yummy rolls. Ordered my usual since we're only here a few times a year now. Back when I was working in Bellflower, I was here every Monday for lunch. Tried most things in the menu. Ordered: Ceviche mixto- tangy, not spicy unless you bite into the yellow habanero. Which was so large I thought it was a bell pepper! A mix of shrimp, scallop, squid, mussel & white fish. It's still a fav. Tallarin mariscos- pasta with mixed seafood in a soy sauce based sauce. Off menu and still very good. Lomo saltado- hubby ordered this. Said it was good as usual. Unsure about other comments regarding toughness of meats. Decor has changed a bit. Half wall divides length of restaurant. Possibly to create a sense of intimacy in this one large room. We will still come back. Not for nostalgia but because we still enjoy the food here. There's a possibility previous reviewers have a misconception about restaurant life. Not sure they've notice the price of groceries in general have increased. Most entrees $20 +. Similar to other restaurants. Gone are the days of $12-15 entrees. Realistically need to consider prices of gas too. Cuz foods arrive in trucks. Also finding and keeping good chefs/staff is hella difficult. Hopefully the owners can balance their skills amount three restaurants.

    If Zero Stars Were an Option, I'd Choose It…read more Honestly, I have no idea how this place charges these prices for this kind of food and service. If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. The server Adrian was rude and seemed completely clueless about the menu. I asked a simple question, and instead of answering, I just got stared at like I was bothering them. If you work at a restaurant, you should probably know the menu--or at least be willing to find out the answer. The food was even worse. The seafood was rubbery, overcooked, and definitely not worth the ridiculous price. I've had better seafood for a fraction of the cost. Overall, rude service, bad food, overpriced menu, and a complete waste of money. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else. Definitely will not be coming back.
