First the place was so cute it's perfect for intimate dates if you're looking for a place for that. The service was great and very friendly. Food wise, Lomo Saltado was our favorite! Even the picky eater in my group loved it! The pho, was amazing the broth was the start of the show! So good must come take a look and eat here! read more

I didn't have a chance to dine in but I was able to take a peek inside of the restaurant while I was picking up my lunch. It looked like a fun place to hang out. The lady who handed me the bag was friendly and she made sure that all the orders were correct. A simple gesture like that goes long ways. The foods that I ordered were very similar except one dish had French fries and rice while the other dish had pasta. Either way, both of them were very scrumptious. I would order them again. Since this restaurant is a Peruvian/Vietnamese fusion restaurant, you get to experience foods from both countries. Next time, I would like to try their pho. read more

Update that I had a significantly worse time dining there alone. Waitstaff did not check on me a single time, but she did come to check on the single guy next to me twice. I don't want to knock the business because the food is good, but that was definitely an annoying experience. read more

Wow! Love this new find! Vietnamese and Peruvian fusion?!? Yes, please! The first time I came, my friends and I thought the food was really good. So, I brought my family for Mother's Day dinner yesterday. Super easy to call and make reservations. The staff are really sweet and made the dinner extra special with a really nice cupcake for the table. The restaurant is cozy and with the space provided they make things work. Can't go wrong with any of the dishes here. I love that they use crinkle cut fries for the Lomo Saltado. The oxtail fried rice is bomb diggity. The Garlic Salt calamari appetizer is my favorite appetizer. The egg rolls are big and crispy. Grilled Pork Vermecelli Noodles is a classic if you don't want pho and very tasty! I got the oxtail pho and they gave three bones of oxtail. I was like . My brother in law got the pho rib bone with huge meats. My mom tried the filet mignon pho and they gave a good portion of meat. Definitely a place to come and try! Will be back for sure. read more

Very tasty mom n pop-ish corner Pho outfit featuring fair prices, Peruvian fusions, the most efficient staff and the lighting set a bit too bright. The ladies running the front are charming and they try to get the crowd moving through but i just get takeout because the lines always too long.

I saw an IG review and knew I needed to eat here after my bike ride at FLOOP! Salty and delicious! Loved the Loma salitado -- the main Peruvian fusion dish with the filet mignon and French fries/ white rice- seared- cooked tender! Loved it!!! The coconut viet coffee also to die for!!! These two dishes are the stars of the show today. The spicy wontons were good. They have shrimp, pork, mushrooms, - while juicy and good- there are like other places. And the garlic noodle shaken beef - I did not really enjoy the texture of the noodle being so moist and saucy- I did not know. That's okay- I was full anyway from all the other dishes and the garlic noodle was the last dish out. Just two of us ate and I needed a box to go for the wontons and my friend took the garlic noodle Home. Service fast! Friendly! Fast! Ambience is noisy and echos. Casual. One bathroom/ it is clean and spacious. Manager maybe even owner served the dishes- she looked dressy and pretty Viet lady in short suit blazer outfit -- servers wore all black. I checked in on Yelp waiting list. Otherwise there is also a yellow legal pad to write your name. I came at11:45 am. By 12:30 every table was filled. Saturday January 6th, 2024. Lots of families and casual eaters like me. A few couples. read more

This place is located in a random spot in Fullerton, but don't let that keep you away! Their rib eye was so tender and juicy and paired amazingly with their special green sauce. The spicy wontons were top tier and had SO much flavor and were plump and juicy. What we got: Ribeye Garlic Noodles: my personal favorite, mix the green sauce into the whole thing! It'll make the noodles super creamy and delicious! Lomo Saltado: I really liked the mix of the vegetables and into the dish, each paired well with each other giving it a nice balance, especially with the chunks of tomato! Omeli's Spicy Wonton: delicious, oh my gosh, so far best wontons I've had, they were juicy and plump and my brothers favorite! Garlic Salt Calamari: crispy and tasted good with the spicy mayo Vietnamese Ube Coffee: yummyyy it was good, a little sweet, but had a lot of coffee flavor! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! The inside was cute too! read more

Another meal at OMELI and I'm convinced this is a solid choice if you are looking for a new restaurant to try out in Fullerton. Right off the bat I need to mention that they know how to cook their meat here and/or they have some quality meats. Mainly because the first bite I took was the filet migon in the Nui Xao Bo (Macaroni Filet Mignon Beef) and it's probably one of the most tender beef bites I've had in awhile. That includes comparing it to more "finer dining" restaurants I've been to. Besides that this dish has a lot a flavor, the type that makes you want to keep on eating it. Savory, some sweetness comes with each bite. It comes with a little extra sauce on the side which I'd say is better for just dipping since the dish has a enough flavor on its own. Oh, and I was beyond happy that the macaroni was al dente and not overcooked. It's those small things that ruin it for me. The Grilled Pork Grilled Pork w/ Steamed Rice in it's simplest form is a nice meat & rice dish. White rice goes well with the grilled pork that I'm pretty sure has notes of lemongrass which is common to Viet cooking. You can refresh the palate with a bite of the fresh veggies it comes with. Paired with a side of fish sauce which for me I just use for dipping since once again the dish is flavored well on its own. But I'm a fan of sauces on the side so I still appreciate just like with the macaroni dish. The coconut coffee is basically a Viet coffee frappe with coconut cream. I'm a die hard Viet Coffee fan, so no variation on it will ever replace the OG drink. But I like how they made this one. It almost comes off as refreshing since it's a frappe and with the coconut flavor. If I could have it in a coconut in Vietnam that would be the ultimate vibe :) Popcorn chicken is what you'd expect of it. I will say the big win here is how it somehow stayed crunchy even though I let it sit there for awhile. Be sure to use some chili oil or Sriracha along with the sweet chili sauce it comes with. Get all those good flavors along with the crunch. It's not the largest restaurant so I could see it getting packed quickly in a lunch or dinner rush. The aesthetic is warm and inviting with all the dark wood. Pretty sure it's an independent run restaurant since the smaller staff was hustling the whole time but luckily were still quite accommodating. Parking is not an issue at all since it's located in a shopping plaza next to what I think was a 99 cent store. I need to try out the lomo saltado next time I'm here so now I have another reason to go back. Cheers! read more

Pho was decent. People definitely enjoy coming here because it was a pack house. Great if you want to come here late night.

I loved the vibes here! This place was still poppin at 3pm. I was a big fan of the lemon grass rice plate and filet mignon macaroni. The flavors were absolutely perfect and savory. The macaroni was especially unique because it was a nice change from the usual fries that normally accompany Saltado dishes. I would've liked some more chili on the popcorn chicken to give it a kick, but otherwise it was perfectly cooked and the chicken was really juicy inside! The beef belly in our pho was also SOOOO tender. It immediately melted in my mouth. We couldn't stop eating it! Overall solid fusion restaurant! read more

We really enjoyed the food here! We came in on a Thursday night for dinner and every table was full. We only waited a few minutes for a table to open up. The parking here is super easy, tons available in the plaza. The staff were really hustling getting tables cleaned and food out as quick as possible. I really appreciate the hard work they put in! I had a vietnamese coffee and the Lomo Saltado. Both were great. I want to come back and try other items on the menu! Everything looks great! read more

OMELI Kitchen - Lomo Saltado - Vietnamese Near Me - Fullerton, California

I've been craving for something savory. This place didn't disappoint at all. Their Taro Iced Coffee reminds me of our breakfast adventures at Ho Chi Minh. It looks like your typical Vietnamese coffee - it's just silky, sweet & will make you want to order more after your meal. Oxtail Fried Rice: great portion - 2-4 person can share it. Taste : 8/10 We didn't get a chance to take pictures. Lomo Saltado: portion- 2-3 person Taste: 7/10, mild flavor, mild spices (since it's fusion) Garlic Noodle with Ribeye: Portion: 1-3 person Taste: 9/10 we love it! The garlic is not overwhelming I will definitely order again. We got here 12NN on a Saturday. The place got busy but the service is great and fast. read more

Love this place. Came here to catch up with a friend over dinner but also my girlfriend recommended ordering the shaken salmon fried rice which I didn't think much of but wow it was so good!! She even asked me to save her a couple bites but it was so hard holding myself back to finish the entire plate because the sauce in combination with the crispy salmon really combine well together! We also ordered the lomo saltado which, in a time of now oversaturated lomo saltados, is a top 3 in my eyes! This dish feels lighter and the meat is very tender. We ate on a Wednesday at 5 pm and it was empty at first but quickly became crowded so we were lucky to have come when we did. There's moderate seating but I can see that it can fill up very fast. On top of that, our service was super nice and kept checking in on us at the right frequency, which I appreciated. I would certainly come back again for just those two dishes!! read more

Came here with a friend and the food was pretty good!! The pho was a bit salty for my taste, but it wasn't unbearable:) The meat inside the pho was soft, tender, and delicious! Their lomo soltado was really yummy and the steak bits were flavorful and tender. We ordered their shrimp wontons which were wayy too salty in the sauce. Their lemonades and fruit teas are soooo good and refreshing to eat with a hot bowl of pho! read more

UPDATED REVIEW: After my 5 star experience, I was avidly planning my return back. Service was whatever this time, the server was not too enthusiastic at the fact that my date and I wanted to share a bowl. I ended up feeling very uncomfortable about this and left hungry. Food was also inconsistent, pho did not taste the same as the first time I had it. The broth had an underlying sour taste which I recognize from when you don't refrigerate the rice noodles once the bag is opened. Might be wrong but all I know is that it didn't taste very good. Won't be returning, should've kept my first time as the one and only memory of this joint read more

Omeli Kitchen in Fullerton is known for offering some of the finest cuisine in the area. We tried an assortment of dishes, and our favorites were the Shrimp Lomo Saltado, Tiger Prawn Garlic Noodles, and Ribeye Garlic Noodles. The Shrimp Lomo Saltado at is a delightful fusion of flavors, with shrimp perfectly cooked and tossed with vegetables. The Tiger Prawn Garlic Noodles are a true standout, with the noodles perfectly al dente and the garlic-infused sauce adding a burst of flavor. The Ribeye Garlic Noodles, where the tender ribeye steak complements the savory noodles in a symphony of taste. read more

This was my first time at Omeli Kitchen, and I absolutely loved the food! I really hope they open a second location soon because everything was so good. Our server, Chivas, was amazing very friendly and provided fast service. She recommended the lomo dish, which she said is very popular, and it did not disappoint. I'll definitely be coming back here with my family honestly, I could see this becoming my regular dinner spot! read more

I'm not sure since I ordered to go but pho combination lacks the meat just got four little slab of meat and and two other meat.

It's always a good sign when you walk in and you can barely get a table. This was the case when I walked into Omeli. It was about time we got a good Peruvian food restaurant in North OC (Fullerton). My favorite dish was the loma saltado and the garlic noodles, but everything is made with pride by the owner. The owner is the chef and you can tell. It's cooked with absolute love. Thank you, omeli. They have a small space with current pop music playing and a lot of college students eating before studying. read more

Found this place with a quick yelp search and was not disappointed. The place is a bit small but we didn't wait too long. Decor was really welcoming. Everyone was very friendly and made great recommendations. Food and drinks came out quickly. Started with fried wontons for an appetizer. They were nice and crispy without that oily taste. We had the Lomo Saltado and Garlic Noodles with Lobster. Both dishes were delicious and we couldn't help but eat every bite. Steak was cooked well and fries were crispy. Good portions of lobster and dipping sauce was tasty. Nothing tasted overly sauced or seasoned. To drink I had the coconut coffee. I never tried combining Vietnamese coffee with coconut but it was delicious. Wife had the lychee peach ice tea and it did not taste overly sugary or syrupy. Will definitely be returning again. read more

For those who've lived in Southern California near the OC area you know great Vietnamese food lives in Westminster. In fact, outside Vietnam Westminster is the largest Vietnamese community in the world. Their culinary excellence can be felt not only in that city but spreading around it as well. But Fullerton is not exactly adjacent to Westminster. You have quite a few cities and freeways in-between. Luckily, a new up-and-comer has decided to find their corner (literally in a corner of a large shopping plaza) and create (mostly) tasty Vietnamese food near Cal State Fullerton and they go by the name OMELI Kitchen. Deco - Standard but modern Once you walk into the restaurant you see it is not a large space, maybe able to accommodate a few large parties and several smaller parties of 2-4. I've been here both during the day and night and noticed when it gets busy the space easily becomes packed. As far as the interior design goes the large windows allow lots of outside sunlight to come in; however, at night the lighting is on low, giving an intimate feel. Great for ambience and dates, terrible for photos haha. Service - They're trying their best At first glance you might think the staffing would be adequate. Having experienced the restaurant during a lunch shift and a dinner shift I saw plenty of servers. Still, I think the growing pains of a newer restaurant can be seen, especially as it becomes more popular with the locals. When I came in during lunch there were only two other parties besides mine and though the main dishes came out quickly our appetizers took longer, coming after our mains had already come out. This was a theme because when I returned for dinner the same thing happened. Our mains came out relatively quickly, but we had to remind the server several times about our appetizers missing. By the time they arrived we weren't interested in them anymore (and there's good reason but that comes in the food section). The main server apologized to us several times for the delay in food and we understood. She was sweet about it and it wasn't a big deal. It did show they're trying, but they still need more time to find their groove. Food - Great mains but disappointing sides Though I wanted to try something different for the main dishes, both times I visited I couldn't get myself away from having the same two mains: pho combination and lomo saltado. It has to be mentioned this restaurant is also considered Peruvian although outside of the lomo saltado I didn't really see much influence. The broth for the pho was fantastic. As a base it was what you wanted without being too heavy, complimenting the rice noodles, and being a backdrop for whatever extra flavors you wanted to add with the different sauces and items on the side. The meat in the pho combination were thin slices of ribeye, beef belly, brisket, and beef ball. It was like a mini Arby's: they got the meats! A bonus of the pho here is also unlimited refills on rice noodles. As a hungry boy it put a happy tear in my eye. The lomo saltado was also fantastic served with a small scoop of white rice and aji sauce giving a pop of color with its bright green hue. I love the different textures of crunchiness from the fries with the softness of the steak and the textures in-between from the stir fried peppers, tomatoes, and onions. I also loved that they use crinkle cut fries for their lomo saltado. The kid in me did a happy dance. Here comes the sadness: the appetizers. Aside from them coming after the main dishes on both occasions, the biggest issue was they didn't match the same level as the mains. The spicy wontons had some kick to it but the chili sauce didn't elevate the flavors of the wonton itself. It felt more oily than it did flavorful. The fried calamari tasted good but presentation wise felt like we didn't have much, barely enough to circle the large bowl of Thai sweet chili sauce in the middle of the plate. It felt like someone took a handful of frozen calamari, fried it, was rushed, and didn't have time to make enough so this is what they plated. The pork belly spring rolls sounded good on paper, but in reality was the most disappointing in flavor. Though there was pork belly in the spring roll it was the thinnest of slivers so what you predominately tasted was the veggies and rice paper. When you think of pork belly you think of a nice, thick cut of meat. Here, it was like you took that same cut and sliced a mm of meat off the top and said, "This is enough". Additionally, spring rolls are usually accompanied with a sauce you can dip it in like a sweet peanut sauce. We received what essentially was a tangy salad dressing. It felt so off we thought maybe they gave us the wrong sauce. We didn't even finish half of this appetizer. Final Thoughts OMELI Kitchen has strong main dishes but severly underwhelming sides. With some time I think it'll all fall into place. For now, stick to the main dishes and you'll have a great time. read more

I had high expectations based on Yelp reviews and this place lived up to it. From the parking lot, the store front looked very small in a corner. But the inside was quite open and spacious, even though it was a small restaurant. We were seated immediately just before 6 pm on a friday night. The menu choices were interesting. Service was friendly and helpful. I had the oxtail pho, which was good. I haven't seen oxtail pho on many menus, so I had to try it. My husband had the lomo saltado. I must say, the beef was the most tender beef in a lomo we ever had! The green sauce was mild but tasty. read more

Food was delicious and unique. We had the Loma saltado and steak pasta. Highly recommended!

My family and I were looking for a place to eat after my brother's graduation and came across Omeli Kitchen on yelp, and I can say we definitely found one of our favorite restaurants! Going inside, the interior gave off a cozy and aesthetic vibe and my family were quickly seated and provided menus. We decided to get the shaken beef lomo saltado substituting the white rice with garlic noodles, the prawn lomo saltado, and the oxtail pho. The lomo saltado was heavenly! With crispy fries, juicy filet mignon/ huge prawns, and delicious garlic noodles. I usually am picky about my garlic noodles since sometimes it can easily be greasy but this place really perfected the garlic noodles! My grandmother stated that the oxtail pho had the most savory broth, and the oxtail was basically falling off the bone and full of flavor. Not only were the dishes delicious and affordable, but the portions were huge! My family left feeling pleasantly stuffed afterwards. We also did try some drinks such as their Vietnamese coffee, vai tra dao (lychee peach iced tea) -- which was my favorite, and their thai milk tea. The owner was so sweet during our time here and I highly recommend coming here to dine! I'll definitely be coming back to try the spicy wontons, shrimp spring rolls and their strawberry blossom drink! read more
