I had been wanting to try 7 Grams for such a long time, and I finally got the chance to visit! And…read morewow, it was even better than I expected!! The restaurant is located in a large shopping plaza. Although I wouldn't say there's plenty of parking, I was able to find a spot without much trouble. When I first saw the crowd waiting outside, I got a little intimidated and even thought, "Should we just go somewhere else?" Haha. But surprisingly, the wait wasn't that long, and we were seated much faster than I expected. Once we sat down and looked at the menu, I was already impressed! I loved both the variety of dishes and the prices. There were so many things I wanted to try, but I decided to save some for future visits. Haha. We ordered the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), a noodle dish, the Beef Roll, and the Scallion Pancake. The food came out pretty quickly, and we started trying everything one by one. OMG. Everything was SO GOOD!! Honestly, every single dish exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The Beef Roll was especially impressive because it had more beef inside than the ones I've tried at other restaurants. The Xiao Long Bao was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The Scallion Pancake was perfectly crispy on the outside, with that wonderful savory flavor. And the noodles! I can't remember the exact name, but I think it had "Golden" in it? Haha. It had a unique flavor that I'd never experienced before, with a little spicy kick. Even though it was spicy, it was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating until the bowl was completely empty! While we were eating, I suddenly thought about my family at home, so I ordered another Beef Roll to go. And here's another thing that really impressed me: **THE SERVICE!** The employee who helped us with the bill was incredibly friendly and pleasant. I was genuinely happy to leave a tip because the service was that good! But what happened afterward impressed me even more. After paying, I went to use the restroom. The hallway leading to it was somewhat narrow, and whenever I passed an employee, they politely stepped aside to let me through first. It might seem like a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. It felt like treating customers with kindness and respect was simply second nature to everyone working there. Great food, wonderful service, AND reasonable prices? What more could I ask for?! Honestly, **why would I go to Din Tai Fung when I have 7 Grams?!** Haha! From now on, whenever I'm craving Xiao Long Bao, 7 Grams will be my first choice! And I definitely have to come back because the dishes I saw on other tables looked absolutely delicious, too. There are still so many things I want to try! **7 Grams, you've officially won me over!**

Food (5/5): My friends and I came here for a cute birthday brunch and just thinking about the food…read moreis making my mouth water! 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.

Ok this place lived up to the hype for me…read more I was traveling solo and made a reservation for myself here for early dinner. I waited 15 more minutes for the dinner menu instead of the lunch menu. Service was fairly quick and attentive. The interior is super aesthetic and so is the bar! Good menu selection to choose from. BOLSA RITA $16 Mijenta blanco tequila, lime leaf aperitif, coconut, pandan, lime rim salt. Surprisingly tasty. Subtle pandan flavor. Steak frites $55 -- 15 oz ribeye, green peppercorn cream sauce -- holy moly the portion size here is no joke! It was absolutely delicious and cooked nicely! Not tough and super flavorful. I'd recommend! SEAFOOD CEVICHE $16 -- scallop, shrimp, calamari, Thai chili, mango, coconut + came with fried shrimp chips. Tasted fresh, not bad. Overall, I'd totally come back!

Four of us ate at Sonder last Tuesday for my birthday. We walked in and they didn't even ask my…read morename; they knew which party we were and took us immediately to our table. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and gave great advice about which dishes to order and whether each would be enough for four. Everything was excellent. In particular we enjoyed the pork belly, the seafood cocktail, and the chicken skewers. We also had the Little Gem salad, the sourdough, and the bone marrow onigiri. We all agreed: "Not a bad bite in the bunch." The cocktails were creative and the wine selection was good, too. Music was good. It wasn't so loud that we couldn't talk. After dinner, they brought a scoop of matcha ice cream with a candle in it for me and there was enough for all of us to have a bite or two. The only drawback was that from my seat, I could see into the kitchen hallway, which wasn't very attractive. They need a noren to block the view. Minor detail, though, and I suppose that would probably make it more difficult to bring food through. Highly recommend.

Visited the revamped Brea Mall (amazing) new great dining options!! It was a hard choice but…read morePacific Catch it was. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Great welcoming staff and our server Benny was just the best. Warm and friendly from the beginning, he had that personal touch that just made all the difference. From his recommendation of the crab cakes cakes and calamari, he was super attentive and boy was it busy. The surf and turf is to die for and Benny knew we wouldn't be disappointed. The food was amazing, fresh and tasty. This place is exactly what the Brea Mall needed, but our server Benny took the experience to the next level. Make sure to ask for him and pay Pacific Catch a visit.

We got a variety of dishes to try out, and overall it was just ok. The soup was good but was a little light on ingredients, the papaya salad was decent with a little kick, noodles didn't really have much truffle taste but was ok, green beans were crunchy and probably the best dish here, and the mango sticky rice was not ripe. Most of the mango pieces were hard / not sweet and proportion to the rice was off. The staff was friendly and the space is very open and welcoming. Not sure if I'd come back though unless I was craving the Asian fusion tea service.

BUSINESS PERMANENTLY CLOSING 6/28/26…read more Came here with some gals for afternoon tea. It's a cute little restaurant in Old Towne Orange. It's decorated really cute inside and out! Everything was creatively planned and decorated. It was also very clean and spacious inside and out. When you go in, there's a tea sampling station with the menus so you can see which tea you would like to order. Our server was really sweet, but she was the only one serving all of the tables, so she would come by every 10-20 minutes to check on us and some things we asked for didn't make it to the table. If they had more servers, customers would be happy with quicker service. The food and tea were delish! There were 6 of us so we shared a bunch of different teas. I really enjoyed the teas they had. The sweet and savory treats were really yummy! I really enjoyed them. Each person got 5 little savory treats and 4 sweet treats. I kind of wish we got one or two more for $45, but either way they were delicious! We had a great time and were sad to learn that the business will be permanently closing down tomorrow (6/28/26), I would have loved to continue going back!

Took my family out to eat here for a little get together. My Godmother was craving good quality…read moreChinese food and this happened to be not too far from her place, borderline Santa Ana/Tustin area. The parking is okay, its pretty small but its do able. We went to eat around 2 PM on a weekday so parking was great and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We were greeted the moment we walked in and sat at a table. What I liked about their menu was that they offer smaller plates if you want to order individually, and also offer family size plates for sharing. We of course opted for the bigger plates. We ordered orange chicken, chow mein, white rice, broccoli and beef, and pad thai. I want to start off by saying I'm typically picky with my orange chicken. It usually has a tad of an artificial flavor. This place was realllyyyyyy good. The flavor was good for all the dishes we got, the portions were very generous and more than enough for 3. The servers were all nice and checked in periodically on our table. Honestly I would come back here, knowing its affordable with fair portions and good flavor!

Americans, we have to be fair and give these fine people credit when they earned it by me…read more FEDSMOKER. These boys have recently listened to the concerns of the People, and they're doing right by us now. STILL have some work to do on the fried and battered items which suck... but if you get Mongolian trio or basil chicken, they will cook it fine and dandy for you, Americans. The battered Orange chicken and everything else is not acceptable, but you can find other items worth the HIGH prices. I'll tell you the truth Americans. If they reduced the price by 4-5$ I would be a weekly customer for the basil chicken, kung pao chicken (very Spicy) and Mongolian TRIO... But if you think you're gonna order some orange chicken you might as well go to the place that has a panda. Avoid the battered items. This is it Americans, updates review for the good people at KPB ASIAN BISTRO!!!!

We had such a wonderful dining experience at Okidoki by Meiji! Everything we ordered was absolutely…read moredelicious and full of flavor. The Oxtail Udon was one of our favorites, the oxtail was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the chewy udon noodles soaked up the rich, comforting broth perfectly. The Nabeyaki Udon was warm and satisfying, and the Spicy Beef Udon had a delicious kick without overpowering the flavors. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, buttery, and practically melted in your mouth. The assorted tempura was light and crispy, the fried chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the Dashimaki Egg was soft, fluffy, and perfectly seasoned. We also really enjoyed the Salmon Bowl, Sukiyaki Curry Bowl, and Sesame Tofu. Honestly, everything we tried was so good! And definitely save room for dessert. The Panna Cotta with Raspberry Sauce and Flan were both creamy, smooth, and the perfect ending to our meal. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and very welcoming. The staffs were also incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our dinner. Also free parking!

I really love OkiDoki Meiji, especially their Cold or Hot Egg Tororo & Mentai Udon. I had egg…read moretororo in New York and had been looking for a restaurant that served tororo ever since, but I couldn't find one until I came across OkiDoki Meiji. Now it's my favorite dish and what I order every time I go. Their udon is house made, and you can really tell in the texture. It's so comforting and chewy. My friend always gets the Spicy Beef Udon and talks about how good it is every time we go. The restaurant itself has a simple and cozy atmosphere, but that's part of what I like about it. The focus is really on the food. I've never had to wait too long. The last time we went around 6pm, we were seated within a few minutes and there were still several open tables. The service has always been great. Everyone is very friendly and attentive, and they regularly check in to make sure we have everything we need without being overbearing. If you're looking for a cozy spot for udon, especially if you're a fan of tororo, I would definitely recommend giving OkiDoki Meiji a try!

I love a good fusion restaurant and Vox Kitchen does such a great job bringing together…read moreVietnamese/Asian and Peruvian flavors! I actually ended up coming here twice in one week, which says a lot about who much I enjoyed the food! The restaurant is located inside the mall and has plenty of seating. I would still recommend making a reservation during busier hours to secure a table. Both times I visited, the servers were really friendly and attentive, and the food came out fairly quickly! One thing worth mentioning is that the portions are HUGE! Most of the dishes are definitely shareable, which. makes this a great spot to come with a group so you can order a variety of things and try a little bit of everything. Items I've ordered: - Lychee Lemonade (this one is refillable): Really refreshing and had a nice fruity flavor, it is a little sweeter than I typically prefer but still really good - Mushroom & Steak Fried Rice: This dish was so good! I loved the combination of the savory steak and mushrooms. Everything worked really well together and it was such a satisfying dish. The portions were generous so I had leftovers - Appetizers: We also ordered quite a bit of appetizers to share but my favorite was definitely the calamari! The pieces were on the smaller size but what they lacked in size, they. made up for in flavor and quality. I loved pairing it with the sauce they provided which brought everything together. I also ordered the chicken wings, corn ribs and fries. - Saltado Filet Mignon: This was absolutely delicious and probably my favorite entree between both visits! I loved that you could choose how you want your steak cooked. I ordered mine in medium and it turned out great! The dish came with both rice and seasoned fries, making it incredibly hearty and satisfying meal. I really enjoyed the combination of flavors. Again, portion is very generous so it's a great option to share. They also came with tomatos and onions. Pro tip: they have listerine in the bathroom so if you do get those garlic noodles or the onions, pop in there after the meal! Overall great spot if you enjoy fusion cuisine or looking for great cocktails/mocktails to try.
