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!

Unfortunately, my friends and I were not impressed by the afternoon tea food. I enjoyed curry…read morechicken basket, the shrimp cake, and the papaya penna cotta, but everything else was just okay. The cucumber salad didn't really have any flavor. My friends felt the same. One positive was that they let you sample all of the teas beforehand, which is nice. I always get so indecisive about which tea to get at afternoon tea. The negative is that I was not wow'd by any of the teas. The ambiance is very cute and nice. Service was standard and good. In the picture attached, the items are as follows: On the top from left to right, egg sando, curry chicken basket, shrimp cake, mushroom potsticker, and cucumber salad sandwich. On the bottom, black sesame puff, papaya penna cotta, raspberry lychee mousse, and chocolate custard tart.

My take is Nguyen's Kitchen is fast-food Asian fusion, and honestly, it's a pretty good option when you're craving something quick and flavorful. I love this concept of restaurant -- lots of Vietnamese -inspired flavors and even have burgers combinations to choose from. I think there's another location close to Santa Ana so will check that one out next time.

I get beef bulgogi garlic noodles. It comes with green sauce that gives a kick. Overall noodles taste is great, though I would prefer grilled pork over beef bulgogi as personal preference. The downside is cashier or other staff should clean the table as we found our table is dirty from previous customers, which we found quite unpleasant as first impression.

As I write this review, it is a review that is based on my experience I read the most recent review and saw an article saying that the waiter refused to serve them when they had an allergic reaction. I just want to say that the waiter was right, because he asked if the guests were ok with cross contamination, they said they weren't sure, so if they weren't sure, how could the restaurant dare to serve them? If anything happens, it's the restaurant that's responsible. So the waiter saying that protected the restaurant and kept it out of trouble. I just want to say that he serves very well, is diligent and always asks questions no matter how busy he is. I can give him 10/10 for his service Anyone who reads this should come and try the food here, the food is great

4th visit update: no more managers special so entrees are at a minimum $15.95 across the board…read more Ordered everything as usual, pho and fried rice which everyone enjoyed, ordered the following new items: Crispy Noodle with Pork & Veggies: 3.5/5, pork was good, noodles were crisp and not stale, sauce was salty though Wonton Noodle Soup: broth was tasty and wontons were nice and plump and didn't fall apart as some places the skin breaks apart in the broth. Found it lacking some substance though. Some slices of port and some veggies added in would have balanced the meal out and made it more complete. 4.5/5 So overall, food is still great here although on the bit pricier side compared to other similar soup places nearby. THE BAD: as stated from another reviewer, customer service is horrendous here. Really makes me giving 15% way too much for what nonexistent service you get. They even start their auto-tip at 18% as their lowest level. My initial review I was forgiving on this as they are a new establishment and I want them to do well. However, being the 4th time there, it's like pulling teeth to just get water refills or anything else. The front staff you can tell do not want to be here. They say welcome more out of routine then actually welcoming you to come eat. When refilling water, the new waiter was annoyed I didn't bring my glass up to get filled fast enough for him to stand by and do me the favor as he would rather go back to the counter to jump on his phone. It's the same with the main guy talker wears a hat. Both would rather jump on their phones then come check in on you or get you some water. They really should just put a water station or give each table a carafe of water and let us refill it ourselves if they don't want to do it. Being a relatively new restaurant, they should really appreciate all their customers coming in and make them feel welcome as these are the people who will keep them in business and recommend this to others. My suggestion is to find someone to be your host that genuinely likes to interact with people and make them provide an enjoyable dining experience. You can let the other 2 guys just bring food out and bus tables.

Plenty of parking since it's in a decent size shopping center…read more There is a good variety of dishes on the menu. We tried the Salt & Pepper Pork and the Beef Chow Fun. Both were excellent! Really good flavors and I would order them again. A couple of things to be aware of: - We arrived around 6:15pm on a Sunday and there were some menu items they weren't making anymore like the Honey BBQ Pork. - Service is on the slower side which is fine if you aren't in a hurry. Our dishes came out at separate times. It has a good amount of seating and can accommodate larger groups. They have both booths and tables. I'm looking forward to going back and trying their weekday lunch specials!
