Came in bought drink it was smack Hell burn your skin summertime I was doing a service for Smart N' Final there neighbor manager said no more refills for you. Your done I only filled it when i purchased it. I even looked behind me like clearly you were not talking to me she was very rude acting like you provided me with a free drink. #rudeafb!/(#

Location: small but clean, nothing alarming. Self serve veggies, sauces and drinks all well maintained. Now for the good part; Food: I ordered these new Boom Boom Tacos, I went for it with the Trio. Don't know if I took too long to pick them up but the temp was a bit cold. The tortilla, pretty legit. Had the feel of handmade, thick but not crumbly. There was just the perfect amount of everything, meat to taco ratio where I got a good bite throughout. Sauce not overpowering the protein option. And the cabbage mix was crispy and also did not fall out of the tacos. The chicken was good, nothing extraordinary. I added a little more WaBa sauce and their Serrano sauce and yum! The shrimp taco was pretty good too. Also added Serrano sauce, but should've had it just as it comes. The beef taco was my favorite. I enjoyed the sweet and savory taste of the meat and combination of sauces. Would I take them over OG tacos? No. (real good authentic Mexican tacos a few stores down the same shopping center at El Jefe) But for being fusion tacos. Not bad. I give them 7/10.

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. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's truly enough and you get a variety of choices. 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.

Dessert? Yep, still solid. But everything else? Let's just say the shrimp tempura salad, beef tataki, tuna tartare, beef tongue stew, and mentai spaghetti formed a perfect little symphony of average. No 'wow,' no fireworks, just... food that exists. Servers were friendly, though! Probably because they had plenty of time to chat with the only two tables in the whole dang dining room. So yeah. Same same but different? Nah. Just same same.

It's a small…read morefamily-owned restaurant in Garden Grove that can be easy to miss since it's tucked inside a small plaza, but it's definitely worth stopping by. I've been wanting to try this place for a while because I heard they're known for their Clay Jar Grilled Chicken, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the half chicken ($20) and the portion was huge. The chicken was super tender, juicy, flavorful, and grilled perfectly, definitely not dry at all. The sauces, fresh herbs, and pickled green papaya paired really well with everything. Just keep in mind that rice or sticky rice is ordered separately. I came here with my coworkers and really liked how cozy and quiet the restaurant felt. It's a nice spot if you want to sit down and actually enjoy your meal. The prices are also super reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Staff is also knowledgeable about the menu and attentive :)

The food took some time to come out, it's not quick, so make sure you have some time on your hands. The chicken looked beautiful, but it wasn't as great as its presentation. It was ok. Honestly, el pollo loco would give it a run for its price. The pandan sweet rice was perfect. Perfectly cooked and perfectly sweet, not overly sweet. The 'bot chien' which is fried flour (cakes), kind of like rice cakes, fried with eggs, was pretty good. Try it if you want, but don't expect too much from th chicken.

Kra-Pow Thai Eatery is the hidden gem I needed!…read more Located inside Rodeo 39 - Stanton as one of the best of the best. A true fusion of incredible flavors I'm obsessed with and even more so because they can make any dish vegan or vegetarian! Their Spring Rolls are light, crispy and savory. Enjoy noodles dishes, rice dishes, curries, soups, sides and even sweets. Not to mention their Special of the Month. Service is super friendly, thoughtful and helpful. I enjoyed a vegan version of the TomYum Noddles with Tofu and went for the brave choice of #5 hot, it was SO delicious and the heat is real!!! Definitely would do it again, but maybe trying level #3 on the medium side. Great to dine in with plenty of tables and chairs directly in front or anywhere in Rodeo 39. Orders typically ready in 10 minutes or so, they tend to but them to the side for pick up and keep everything organized fairly well. Cute bottled bear beverages of all sorts as well as the classics, water, soda, teas, and frescas. Even Labubu is a fan!

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!

Unlike some places where I leave feeling bloated, I don't get that way here. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, which is harder to find than you'd think. A lot of seafood places tend to overcook shrimp, making it rubbery or soggy, but Fire Crab absolutely nailed it. And the garlic fries? Insane. They definitely do not hold back on the garlic, which I loved. The garlic noodles were also incredibly buttery, flavorful, and downright addictive. What really made our experience stand out was the service. We came with a large group, and the owner was so sweet, attentive, and welcoming throughout our meal. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and making sure everyone has a great experience. Great food, amazing service, and consistently delicious flavors.

The seafood tasted really fresh overall, and the sauce was flavorful, and packed with seasoning. It was a little on the thin side since I like it thick and it couldve used a lot more garlic. We got crawfish, shrimp, and oysters. The crawfish were decently sized -- a few bigger pieces mixed in, but mostly medium-sized. Still, they tasted fresh and the flavor was really good The Kumomato oysters were just okay. I've definitely had fresher, colder oysters elsewhere, but honestly, I don't come to a shrimp and crawfish boil spot expecting right outta the water oyster bar quality. Overall, Fire Crab hits the craving well. Solid 4 stars all around! Service had great attitide!
