    pho

    I was really craving Vox but the line was too long that day, so I found this spot! The prices here are really great, but I will say the flavors aren't fully there. Nevertheless a great spot for a quick bite and the service was amazing too!

    Tried the Lomo Saltado and the Pho Dac Biet (Combination pho). The pho was pretty decent! Good clean tasting broth and the meats were tender, came with steak, brisket, tendon, meatball, and tripe. Not the best pho I've had, but really enjoyable nonetheless! The Lomo Saltado was the star of the show! This was as good if not better than VOX and the price is less (Sorry to pick on VOX but everyone has been there and they are known for their Lomo Saltado). Been to VOX many times and love their food. The fries were flavorful and had a nice crisp, even with the sauce on it, came with really good garlic noodles, and the beef was so juicy and tender. But the star of the show was the Aji green sauce! What I really like about it is that it has a nice spicy kick to it! May want to ask for extra! Overall, enjoyed the food, Lomo Saltado was delicious!

    My cousins and I happened to pass this place when driving and the photos of the food looked great! It was empty inside, but there were so many reviews on yelp and thought we had to try it out. I really enjoyed the lomo saltado plate with the filet mignon and fries. It was very flavorful and I loved the garlic noodles!! The portions were pretty big. As for the fried rice, I thought it was alright. I am glad I tried this place and highly recommend getting the lomo saltado plate!

    I ordered the Lomo Saltado last night for a quick dinner. I was the last customer to pick it up and it was fresh and very good portion sized and delicious. Very good service very clean. I will be back again. I got the garlic noodle Lo Salado shaken fries and steak if you're not super hungry, you can share it with two people.

    This is one of my sister's favorite places and I can see why! The Lomo Saltado Shaken Fries were delicious. Nice and hot, with crispy fries. I got it with garlic noodles which had really good flavor as well. I finished the whole thing despite the generous portions! Service was very accommodating and checked in with us often. I would definitely come back again for this dish! Parking is nice and easy in the lot in the back.

    I went there for a late lunch takeout. Lots of parking. The restaurant is a bit rundown and the decor is clean but a bit worn. The inside is cavernous. There removed the counter to give it an open appearance. The service is good and very helpful. I ordered the garlic noodles and grilled shrimp. Very well seasoned, fresh and well prepared. The prices were very reasonable. A couple next to me was having the Lomo Salgado and the Bone in Short Rib Pho that looked delicious. I think it would be worth it to come back to try it. Overall, I would rate the experience as good.

    For the food they served we were surprised that they didn't have that many customers. The food was amazing - flavorful, aromatic, and decently-portioned. The highlight was definitely the garlic noodles, but their pad thai was pretty good also. My table ordered the rib-eye steaks which were one level rarer than they wanted. We were sat in a darker area for a large table so we hope the lights will be on next time to increase the ambiance. Service was wonderful and accommodating.

    4.5 = food 4.5 = service 3 = ambience I've been here twice within the past month. First time I got their Lomo Saltado Shaken Fries which is one thing they're known for. My girlfriend told me that it was good and the French fries really makes the dish even though it doesn't sound like it does. Very flavorful. Service just OK for not being busy. The second time I came with my hubby. This time I ordered their Bone-in Short Rib Pho Soup. Soup was pretty good. The dish was very filing and I had to bring the rest home. They give you 2 meaty ribs. This used to be an old coffee shop but they didn't renovate it too much except for removing the counter. Looks old. Plenty of parking. First time I drove past the restaurant because it's a dark corner.

    It's a Saturday and husband was ready for sushi. I had another place in mind, but they didn't take…read morereservations and we're not about to chance it and wait. 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!

    Overall, an amazing dining experience! The fusion of two cultures is executed…read morebeautifully--combinations you wouldn't expect somehow come together perfectly. The fish quite literally melts in your mouth, and every dish is top-notch, from flavor to presentation. The staff is wonderful--so polite and attentive, taking the time to explain each dish and what it entails. The chef is incredibly kind, and you can truly feel the passion and care he puts into every plate. I highly recommend sitting at the bar for the full experience, where you can interact directly with the chef. We've been here twice now, revisiting a few favorites and trying some new dishes the second time, and everything has been consistently outstanding. The cebiche is an absolute must-try, and you can't go wrong with anything in the Nikkei section--we've tried most of them, and every single one delivers. Would 1000000x recommend coming here for any occasion.

    It's been a long time since we last visited, so we decided to come back for dinner. I got the…read morechaufa de pollo ($17.49) again and enjoyed the savory flavors. 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.
