Ordering is entirely kiosk-based and there's little to no front-of-house presence, so if you're expecting traditional service, this isn't that kind of place. That said, the food is doing a lot of heavy lifting here and it delivers. The garlic noodles with crispy pork were deeply savory and perfectly cooked without being greasy. I also had a Thai tea that was balanced and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Today, on recommendation, I followed it up with their filet mignon noodle dish, which was the standout. Tender steak, rich flavor, and a comforting bowl overall that easily justifies coming back. The space itself is quiet and minimal, almost cold in tone, and feels more like a hidden neighborhood spot than a full-service restaurant. Great for dining solo or when you want a low-key meal with strong flavors. Solid food, clear concept, and a place I'd return to, just with adjusted expectations around service.

Don't hesitate to eat here…read more Great Thai restaurant hidden in a roadside complex where all the businesses look the same. There's even a hidden 7-eleven in there. On my way to my hotel, looking for a dinner spot, the name caught my eye. I decided to double back and was the best decision I had made all day. Single dining room restaurant with friendly polite young staff. One double-sided menu makes it easy for ordering. This evening, I ordered Thai Iced Tea, Massaman short rib curry, and the coconut rabbit dumplings. The coconut rabbit dumplings were over the top good! Uniquely prepared fried dumplings filled with ground seasoned meat and skewered on a tiny wooden pick with cucumber, papaya or mango, pepper relish was amazing. This is reason enough to dine here! The Thai iced tea was perfect. The Massaman curry was done right and with short rib meat was absolutely delicious. I think I would try it with pork next time. But if there is a next time, I probably would try their green curry. It was a tough choice. But I didn't regret my decision. This was my first visit, but not my last.

There are certain dishes we get every single time because they're just that good. The spicy garlic edamame is always a must. We also love the chicken yellow curry, the wonton soup, and the shrimp pad Thai, which always has the perfect balance of flavor. Another favorite is the blue crab fried rice, which is incredible. We also enjoy the shrimp fried rice, but we usually end up ordering the blue crab fried rice because it's so good. The beef pad see ewe is another dish we come back to again and again. And of course we always order the Thai iced tea, which is absolutely delicious and the perfect pairing with the meal. Before they expanded their sit-down restaurant, we ordered delivery from them all the time, and what really stood out was that their own team delivers the food. It's not a third-party service. They are always so kind, make sure you have everything you need, and the food is always packaged carefully and arrives in great condition. Now that they've expanded and have their sit-down restaurant, we actually drive from North Orange County just to come eat here, which says a lot about how much we love this place. You can truly feel the care and love that goes into the food, and you can taste it too. The service is always warm and welcoming, and it's easy to see why they've become such a local favorite. This place is absolutely all-star and we'll continue coming back again and again

For the omakase we get a choice of three appetizers, two pasta dishes, chefs choice entree, chefs choice risotto, and a choice of dessert for each person.

This visit we went with beef tataki, salmon burrata, deep fried oysters, shrimp tempura salad, eggplant and mushrooms pasta, Uni pasta, scallops risotto, and the prime steak. Each dish is an 8/10 or better. I would gate keep this place if I could, but many who don't know that good Japanese Cuisine is not just limited to sushi.

I decided to check this place out due to the good reviews…read more Uni pasta- my favorite dish! It's so creamy and the nori and wasabi add some nice dimensions to the dish. I would definitely get this again. The portion is actually pretty good too Scallop risotto- risotto was creamy and flavorful. Scallops were cooked well. They should put a disclaimer that you may only get 2 pieces instead of 3 as listed on the menu. When I asked the staff about it, the chef said it's because the pieces given are the same as 3 which was a bit weird since the pieces didn't look that big compared to the photos on Yelp. This dish also comes with a salad. Chicken katsu curry- I ordered it medium, but honestly the curry is on the sweeter side with no heat at all. You also get raisins which makes the curry even sweeter. For $26, it's not a good price point for this type of dish. You can get this dish for much cheaper at other establishments. I would pass on this dish. Staff was nice and interior is clean and a bit cramped. My meal was over $100 for the 3 items which I normally wouldn't mind if the quality offsets portions given. Be prepared to spend lots if you want to get full! Also, keep in mind they charge an NCA fee if you don't pay cash. This place is a solid 3.5 for me.

Mother's Day lunch at Halo Haus Buena Park with almost a 2-hour wait for the food…read more I was excited to check this spot out and going here for lunch with my mom for Mother's Day marked the perfect occasion. I drove all the way from the South Bay to go visit. We arrived around 11:15 a.m., 15 minutes after opening, and there were only 3 other orders ahead of us. All ordering is done through their kiosk. I noticed a sign that said all credit card transactions have a 3% fee. There was also another sign that they accept cash but only $20 bills. I asked to pay in cash to avoid the 3% fee but the employee there said they had just opened and so the register wasn't ready yet. Luckily, I had my debit card via Apple Pay and ended up using that instead. We chose to order the Miki Bihon ($17.95), Crispy Pata ($17.95) , Chop Suey with Chicken ($16.95) and a small scoop of rice ($1.75). I had originally planned to get the Wonton Soup but that was no longer on the menu. Similarly, many other dishes, including all their beef dishes were also unavailable. Our order was placed at 11:24 a.m., and was surprised that we didn't receive our food till about 12:15pm. I noticed there were other tables getting a bit impatient while waiting for their orders as well, but since it was Mother's Day, I figured that that items like Crispy Pata would naturally take longer. At first, I wasn't too frustrated with the 45 minute wait. When our orders came out, I was pleasantly surprised with the large portions of the Miki Bihon and Chop Suey. Tastewise, the Miki Bihon was flavorful, comforting and satisfying. The combination of soft egg noodles and thin rice noodles gave the dish a nice texture. The Chop Suey had a good mix of vegetables, but overall it lacked flavor and tasted a bit bland. It had a decent texture but the seasoning just wasn't there. The Crispy Pata was one of the dishes we came for and were looking forward to having this Mother's Day. It had a nice crisp on the outside, but unfortunately it seemed overcooked, and some parts were tough. Since we experience a bit of a wait for the savory items, my mom advised me to place our dessert order early. I ordered a small Supreme Halo Halo ($6.95). I had originally been eyeing the Mango Graham Halo Halo but similar to how many of the savory dishes were unavailable, this item was also not available. They also only had vanilla ice cream and no ube, unlike what is shown in their menu photos. My order went in at 12:29 p.m., and considering it was just a small halo halo, I did not expect a long wait. I was a bit shocked when it was 1:15 p.m. and my halo halo had not come out yet. I went up to the employee at the counter to inquire about it. She asked for my order number and name, then handed me a receipt. After that, I watched her go into the kitchen and only then started making the halo halo. When she finished and handed me the order, I asked why it took so long, and she mentioned something about how the receipt possibly not coming out of the system. I found this strange and honestly a bit frustrating. If I had not followed up, we likely would have continued to wait for a halo halo that would never have been made due to "receipt not coming through." She even asked if I had taken the receipt, which did not make sense. After the initial 45 minute wait for the savory dishes, another 45 minute wait for dessert felt a bit excessive. Overall, it was a good lunch, but that wait tested us. It was worth it for time with my mom though. I would best describe the visit here as "the good, the bad and the ugly." The good is the portion sizes and the pricing. The bad is that many menu items are not available. The ugly is the wait time. Waiting nearly 2 hours for all the food (45 minutes for the savory dishes and another 45 minutes for the halo halo) is simply too long. The biggest improvement would be their service and wait times.

A solid fast, casual spot for Asian fusion eats that's actually open late in Cypress! When it's…read moreafter 9pm in the area, there usually aren't very many options besides fast food, so I'm glad that you can get some good late night food here! They're open until 12:15am every day! For starters, we got their Chile-Lime Cauliflower, and it is so good! The chile-lime vinaigrette is really what makes it! I have never enjoyed cauliflower so much! I only wish they would cut the cauliflower into slightly smaller pieces so it's a little easier to eat. But other than that, highly recommend this dish! I wanted something warm and comforting, so I got their Ribeye Pho. It comes in a pretty big bowl with tenderized sliced ribeye steak, noodles, and all of the pho fixings. Will be back to try some of their other Asian fusion dishes!

I went to this mokkoji location with my wife for Valentine's Day and had a truly awful experience…read more Service was fairly slow and the staff seemed to be unable to keep track of the orders/requests of us and the other guests at the restaurant despite the restaurant not being full and there being 4 servers present. We had to request vegetables several times and we noticed the other customers had to do the same. While we were there one customer who came alone was being very loud, swearing a lot, and generally ruining the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. This customer tried to complain loudly about his life, work, ex-girlfriend, etc. and kept bothering other customers. The staff should have said something or intervened but instead all the staff present decided to leave the main seating area and retreat to the back of the restaurant so they would not have to deal with this customer. This customer was drinking sake, acting erratically and talking to himself and other customers that did not want to interact with him. My wife and I noticed several customers leave the restaurant before finishing their food in order to avoid this uncomfortable situation. These customers came in after us and left sooner with much of their food left untouched. The lack of professionalism and inability of this staff to address this negative situation really ruined our experience and I will NEVER be going to this mokkoji location or any other again. There are many other shabu shabu options around and I would strongly suggest other people to look elsewhere and go to a restaurant where the staff are willing and able to handle a negative situation with a customer. I have worked in restaurants in the past and could not believe that not a single employee said anything to this customer for the entirety of our meal. Very disappointed to say the least.
