Update: order wrong again. I ordered and paid for avocado, none placed. Ordered chopsticks, fork was given.

Reg chicken bowl w brown rice and veggies
Jeremy L.

I've been to a LOT of flame broilers all over the place. Their product is great but each location is really hit or miss. Sometimes the meat doesn't seem flame grilled. Sometimes they gyp you on the portions. Sometimes they don't have a type of sauce. Sometimes the employees are just miserable. Sometimes its awesome and everything is on point. THIS particular one was ON POINT. And rightfully so since this one is apparently attached to their headquarters. This one is setting the example on what a flame broiler SHOULD be. I ordered my usual. Regular chicken bowl with brown rice and veggies. Simple. Workers were friendly with a smile. Place was clean and nicely stocked. And most importantly, the food was exactly what it should be! Flame grilled and charred chicken. Good portion size. Crunchy veggies. If I lived closer to this area, I'd make this my go to flame broiler, but sadly I live far away and my local flame broiler is hit or miss. Anyways, if I have another appointment in this area, I'm coming back. This is how it's done. Hopefully they're consistent, but from my experience and the reviews, it seems like they are.

Barely any meat all rice.

Haven't been here in a while thought I'd give it another try but I think I'm gunna stick with the hole in wall place this is bullshit. There's hardly any meat it's like $10 for a bowl of rice.

Hidden new location in a business center. I had no idea this was even here until I drove by and saw it out of the corner of my eye. They are not open on the weekends and I forgot to take down their weekday hours. Super fast service, clean brand new restaurant, and not crowded during lunch time. I love the amount of indoor and outdoor seating available (they have a patio on the back). Easiest to access off Warner & Brookhollow.

Interior. Where you order and pay.

Tucked away in a very industrial & business area of Santa Ana, this Flame Broiler may be hard to find for someone unfamiliar to these parts. However, if you keep on making your way down Brookhollow Dr. You'll be sure to find it. Complaints by other Yelpers have been made about parking especially during peak hours (ie lunch), but I feel like that's inescapable. This location is SURROUNDED by businesses! In fact, if you look around there's multiple businesses that share the same parking lot that Flame Broiler is nestled in so that's beyond the establishment's control. This was my first time at any Flame Broiler and while I can't make any complaints for food/service, I personally don't feel like that Flame Broiler is anything too special. While the food was made fresh, fast, and was provided to me in a timely manner with good customer service I was not wow'd by meal. I ordered the Angus Beef Mini Bowl with brown rice. I really like that they don't charge you extra if you opt for brown rice like other establishments might, so that's a plus! At the end of the line they also ask you if you want your bowl with or without green onions! When The concept of Flame Broiler is pretty simple, as is their menu options. They have a few bowls you can choose from and you can decide if you want to add some veggies with your protein (chicken/beef or a combination of the two). I think that it should be noted that you can only get a mini bowl if you're not trying to get the orders that have veggies in them! They don't have many sides or much else, but the way you do order is you go around and it's kind of a chipotle kind of line (with less options and toppings). They have plenty of seating inside and outside of the establishment and it's very clean too! Definite pluses! Though Flame Broiler's not my cup-of-tea and I don't think it's amazing, I can see myself coming back here for convenience to feed my grumbly tummy during my lunch hour since this is only a few mins away (walking-distance) from my office.

Gross chunk of chicken fat (not chicken breast at all).

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!**

The atmosphere is lovely and makes it so easy to settle in, enjoy your meal, and turn a simple outing into a whole experience. The food? Delicious, beautifully presented, and absolutely camera ready! Our table was filled with so many tempting dishes the kind of spread that makes you want to take a picture of everything before digging in! But what really made the visit special was the staff. Everyone was so sweet and attentive, checking in throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed. That warm, thoughtful service makes such a difference. And a practical detail that deserves its own shout-out: plenty of parking! Such a bonus when you just want to arrive, relax, and enjoy good food. Great food, lovely vibes, and a team that makes you feel welcome this place checks all the boxes. Definitely a spot I'd happily come back to!

Needless to say they did not disappoint when it came to food and flavor. NEP is a modern take on mainly Vietnamese and other Asian foods. Our party of 6 were seated quite quickly with a reservation considering how packed it was inside. They had many seats and were really spacious and accommodating. We ordered the Squid Mango Salad, Crab Toast, Filet Mignon Bahn Mi, and Seafood Tom Kha Pasta. The Crab Toast was the one I was looking forward to the most and was absolutely exceeded any of our expectations. It was so savory, but not too salty, and amazingly flavorful. If you're a fan of seafood as my family as this is a must order. I also couldn't get enough of the salad. It was so fresh tasting and light and added a good balance to the rest of our meal. One of my family members loved the Bahn Mi for being different than any other he's tried. It comes as this deconstructed banh mi with the meat coming on this cast iron skillet to which you can put in the fresh bread roll. Definitely a must try. Everything else was equally as delicious, but if you were to only visit once, I think the crab toast and bahn mi are a for sure menu items to try. Service was very quick considering how busy it was and they gave us a complimentary dessert when we told them about my cousin's birthday!! I love the modern atmosphere to the restaurant. I went during the day time so I was able to see a lot of the decor and layout properly. Felt like a perfect brunch spot. It did feel very hustle and bustle considering its popularity so if you're looking for quiet, this wouldn't be the place. Parking is ample and stress free because of the lot it is located in. This has been a very warm welcome for me to the Kei Concept restaurants and cafes, so much so I am willing to make the drive out again for NEP Cafe or any of the other Kei Concept spots. I highly recommend it even if it's just for a one time visit, it's definitely worth it.

We came to Okidoki by Meiji in Tustin hungry and ordered enough food to give the kitchen a proper…read moreworkout. Glad we did. The tempura udon was a solid start. Thick, chewy noodles, a clean, savory broth, and crispy shrimp tempura. It was my least favorite dish of the night, which says more about the competition than the udon itself. The hot spicy beef was excellent. Rich, tender beef swimming in a fiery, deeply flavorful broth. The heat was there, but so was everything else. You actually wanted to keep eating. The curry was the real surprise. I've had plenty of Japanese curry, but this had a different character. More depth, a richer flavor, and something I couldn't quite put my finger on. Whatever it was, I preferred it to the curry I'm used to. The California roll was fresh and satisfying, and the small chicken bowl came loaded with crispy, saucy chicken over rice. Five dishes, all good. Some better than others. That curry alone is worth returning for.

I also ordered their cheesy udon noodles, but after a couple bites I felt really sick and got a bad reaction to the food. They dumped an enormous handful of what looks like a Mexican blend type of cheese on top and flame torched the top by hand. The dish did not look like how it was displayed through their flyers. The food had a taste of butane which made me feel disgusted. I ended up getting really sick from this dish. I also noticed how the servers would skip on checking up on my partner and I to attend all the other guests but us? Overall a really bad experience here :/ I ended up paying the entire $20 for this bowl and extra for my other items and just quickly left.

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!

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.
