Homey but elevated Asian cuisine. Always my go-to place because the food here never fails me. The chicken wings are crispy, juicy, served with this spicy sauce that I recommend to be put on the side instead of on the wings because it really has a kick. The spring rolls are crunchy, not oily at all, the fillings are flavorful with a good dipping sauce as well. The fried bao buns are surprisingly good! It looks heavy and dense on the outside, but the inside is airy, not fatty, well-fried, and the meat filling is super duper good. The Thai tea! The thing I live for! Not too sweet, just enough, literally the best Thai tea looking for a competition. Aside from these dishes I have also had the pasta and the sandwich, both were awesome as well. This place deserves more love!

I knew what I wanted from just looking at the pictures. Food quality, flavor, portion, price and service were all top notch. I have to appreciate that when I picked multiple protein options, I actually got multiple portions which is what I wanted. I’m definitely going back when I get a chance. Both my lunch buddies feel the same way! I had the garlic noodles with bulgogi steak, chicken thighs and fried egg with a side of the Cajun fries.

Great little place in the food central of Costa Mesa, East 17th., Street! Our first time here, the menu looked friendly, simple and exciting. The food was in well proportions, delicious with good presentation. We had the Tiger shrimps with in a rice bowl with vegetables, short rib sandwich, chicken wings, and finally the Cajun Fries. The food was really delicious and the short rib sandwich was one of the best I have ever had. Highly recommended as a semi gourmet fastfood! #letsguide

My first time trying this restaurant, menu is attractive, few good looking options, I tried the classic Vietnamese sandwich grilled pork and was good, I liked it, nothing special but is a tasty, big enough, I’ll come back to try other items.

Bulgogi steak sandwich: I normally don’t like pickled anything on my sandwiches but this one was a just eat together kind of deal. It’s not too sour and it pairs well with the Bulgogi. The bread could’ve been a bit more toasted since the sauce made it soggy really fast. It comes with a signature sauce? and it taste even better with that sauce. Use it! They even asked if we needed more. Garlic noodles: many people recommended me to try this noodle here. if you like garlic in general. I think you’ll like this. you can definitely taste the garlic and the noodles are bouncy. I enjoyed this! Also comes with the signature sauce. I didn’t need it but can definitely put some in if you want a bit of spice. Fries: they don’t skimp out on the Cajun which is nice. They have the same sauce from the sandwich and noodles. Dip it in the sauce! Delicious! Parking: it’s a bit difficult since the plaza is small and there’s lots of stores. Got to come back to try the rest of the noodles!

The Crawfish Pasta is really tasty. I would come back for it. The grilled sandwich pork wasnt that great. Also the Thai tea didnt taste good. The green sauce on the side taste spicy and good. I don't exactly know what it is but try it with chicken you will love it. Service was okay. Clean environment. Update: The service has gotten much better. And food still tastes good. The nk sliders taste really good with a fried egg. Fries and egg rolls tasty as well. 3 stars to 4 stars now.

East meets south! Pretty good wings. Would like to try their other dishes. Small unit. Prob best to order to go

Great late night meal after a fun concert! The food hit the spot for delicious Cajun Garlic fries and Bulgolgi Short Rib Steak! Who knew this little gem in a small strip mall would have yummy, piping, hot food at nearly midnight in Costa Mesa! Very impressed my friend brought me here! The food was fresh and deliciously flavored and it was a casual, sit anywhere you want kind of relaxed environment. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I would gladly return! I highly recommend the Bulgogi Short Rib steak with either rice or noodles!

Amazing fresh food. No wonder this place is always packed with students and togos until the wee hours of the night. I had the bulgogi steak garlic fries. I don’t know how I ate all of this. It was massive. So delicious. My husband had the highly suggested garlic noodles. He says it was also delicious. I hope to try their new location off harbor soon too!

*This review is only on the Garlic Chicken Sandwich* Overall I really enjoyed the sandwich, but there were some things I thought could be improved: The sandwich is grilled chicken with a garlic cream sauce, mushrooms and cilantro. The sauce is incredibly flavorful, and the cilantro cuts through with some freshness. I did think the sandwich overall was a little bit too salty though, and I’m not sure if I would pay 10 dollars for this sandwich again as well.

IMMA TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, DONT WEAR A WHITE TEE!!! ITS A BLESSING BUT ALSO A CURSE(i wouldn’t even call it a curse because i wasn’t even mad after looking at the stain(WORTH IT)) So, let me start by saying the Cajun pasta was naturally saucy and for the first time i didn’t ask for extra sauce. I did however ask for a side of beef because i just had to try it and of course i put it in the pasta as well. I did ask for some extra sauces on the side too and honestly there wasn’t really a need for them. But it was cool when i wanted to just add a drizzle of something different. To be detailed, the noodles were great. Texture on point, shrimp and sausage were pretty good as well, adding the beef really took it to the next level tho i must say. And yes, i did drink a lil sauce put the bowl when i was finished. That’s how you know it was fire. Would definitely recommend with out doubt.

We ordered garlic shrimp noodles and it was very delicious. We were there around 9:30pm and they were still open. The green tea was good but a little sweet. Other than that, the food was delicious and good amount of portions. We like it so much.

I don't recommend the chicken banh mi, but the one I got today might have just been a fluke. The chicken had that tough, hard to bite through texture you get when it's previously cooked and then cooked again to warm it up. The only other thing in the sandwich was a single spear of cucumber and cilantro that wasn't chopped. So every bite resulted in 6-in sprigs of cilantro coming out. The main thing I get excited for in a banh mi is that taste of ultra-freshness you get from the veggies like carrot and daikon. But my sandwich was nothing but leather-chicken and cilantro-sprigs. Maybe they just forgot to put veggies on mine? Besides the food, I don't recommend coming at 5:30 p.m. The small parking lot out front was so over packed that I literally didn't even have room to drive through. I had to park two parking lots away next to "beware of towing" signs and walk. I was told the food would be a 15 minute wait and it turned out to be 25. Not a big deal, but man I was downright hangry by the time I got my food. Besides all that, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and had great communication. Great staff. Not great food.

My pork sandwich was so fire! 🔥 Eggrolls were hot and tasty! I'll be back soon!.... Very satisfied. 😌 💣 comida!! !!

Thai tea and peach lychee iced tea were very refresher. Not a fan of the garlic noodles and grilled pork rice bowl.

I’m just gonna say it… lacked decor, food was not great and service was nonexistent. Ordered both regular/ Cajun fries, Bulgogi steak sandwich, popcorn chicken, egg rolls and NK sliders. Sliders were greasy, fries were old & cold, sandwich was decent and it’s tough to mess up egg rolls. Where else do you actually have to pick up your own order? Would not recommend at all!

When I didn’t receive my delivery order (via a third-party service), the staff was very helpful toward my situation. I haven’t seen this kind of accommodation in many other restaurants. Their popcorn chicken and garlic noodles are great. The bulgogi could use just a little more love, but it’s still pleasant. Great service and good food.

The garlic noodles and shrimp were cold and soaked in oil! It looked like half of a portion! I had it to go and it was my first time trying this place since it had good reviews. The staff was very friendly but the food unfortunately wasn’t what I’ve hoped and expected:-(

Excellent food. Most of the food we got were very good. The crawfish pasta was a bit salty, but the bulgogi rice bowl, shrimp rice bowl, and the shrimp garlic pasta were excellent. The cajun fries were great as well. The portions were large and their sauces were excellent. The shrimp and the spicy green sauce were our favorites.
