bbq pork noodles. best broth in an asian soup EVER. bbq pork buns are delicious as well!
Seafood curry soup is a flawless meal. Food is incredible, atmosphere is superb. Always personal attention from the proprietors. It's worth trekking cross LA for. Best eatery downtown

"[Pho Filet] has a delicious pho bac, highlighted by a slab of filet mignon that looks as if it came off on the losing side of a knife fight, in a broth crazy-sharp with cloves." - Jonathan Gold
My favs are: bun cha, banh tom, cha ca, ca kho, thit dong. I don't like their soda chanh because it's not fresh, made from concentrate, and club soda is always flat :(
Try the Deep Fried Fish with Mango Salad! Approach with extreme caution, due to the finely diced Thai chilies you might not see at first, but eat with gusto! Read more.
Their pad kee mow is one of the best I've had-- whether it's with seafood or beef, they get that spice & flavor just right.
The place for Lebanese in Fullerton! The big patio makes for nice seating and they have Vegan Mondays!
Tasty finger foods and more! Check out Sangria Sundays for buy one, get one on pitchers!
locals love this place for good reason, you'll find authentic Japanese sushi here. (Now reopened at 133 W Chapman complex)
Kaori is back, I can't express the happiness associated with eating here. Have Gino make you something special, thank me later.
Food is so good, prices even better. Lunch is a steal, dinner is still a great price and you can pile your bowl as high as you want! The salad on the side is pretty tasty too!
Their Pansit Malabon (also known as Palabok) is the best I've ever had. It's a must order.
For a unique pie, get their Buko Pie, which basically has a filling made from young coconut.
This is also the place to get ube bread, a purple yam paste baked in the bread itself.
Standouts for me were the pork ribs (tender), cornish hen (moist) and pork skewers. :) Read more.
For a change of pace from the regular Kare Kare, check out the Seafood Kare Kare with mussels and shrimp.
India Fresh is half market and half restaurant. You can either order a la carte from their menu or order from their steam table. 4 items to choose from that change daily.
The Won Tons in Red Chili Oil were small, compact and packed with meat and the chili oil gave them a lovely zing of heat.
For an alternative to the Beef Roll, try out the Pork Roll. The roll itself was crispy and the pork was tender and went well with the cilantro.
The chicken with cold noodles is a great dish. I love the smokiness of the chicken and the chew of the knife-cut noodles.
Tres leche cake and dulce de leche empanditas won't disappoint, especially the cake, which is very moist.
Their fried chicken with a side of banana ketchup dipping sauce is a must order. On Mondays, you can also get two whole fried chickens for $10.99, which they will also cut up for you.
This is the only Italian restaurant I've ever been able to find one of my favorite pasta dishes: spaghetti, olive oil and broccoli.
I've really enjoyed both their lule kebob and beef kebob so far. Portions are a good size. You won't leave hungry.
My favorite a la carte meal would include the Beef Rendang, Kale Curry, the Chili Chicken, the Pork Sate, Coconut Rice and with either the Avocado or Durian Shake or the Coconut Water.
You can also order their Curry Chicken, Chili Chicken and Brown Sugar Chicken a la carte.
Their sates are deliciously caramelized and comes with a delicious peanut sauce. My favorite is their pork sate. They also have chicken and sometimes, even lamb.
Although it's not on their menu, there are dishes you can order a la carte which include: Beef Rendang, Sate Sticks, Kale Curry, Chicken Curry and Coconut Rice.
Order Shanghai pan fried small bao. You won't regret it. It has soup just like a soup dumpling plus it has a really meaty taste to it.
We really wanted their spicy crab and when my friend called, they didn't have any at the restaurant. At our request, they went out and got live crab just for our dinner for an additional charge.
It offers familiar dishes — pork buns, sticky rice in lotus leaves, steamed spareribs with black beans and chile—but chef Peter Lai adds novel twists or simply does standard versions better.
This eatery features a little bit of everything – Cazuela de pollo, Syrian salad w eggplant and tomato, poached eggs, baked goods, and even teas. Both cuisine and merchandise exude worldly influences.
Alicia Silverstone stops here to cure that sweet tooth craving. “They have this homemade organic tofu that tastes like pudding. All their desserts are so beautifully made, and they don’t use sugar”.
If you truly love quality and decadent flavor, have the omakase. Expect to pay $150 pp. Best abalone I have ever had. Arigato!
there is no sign out front so check address before you go - sit at sushi bar where owner/chef works and just ask him what you should eat - kinda of a two way omakase!
So many good things here, try all the dumplings - especially the ones filled with soup!
Order the shanghai rice cakes, juicy pork dumplings, sautéed seasonal vegetables (I love the baby bok choy!), red bean/taro dumplings, and sesame buns. You won't be disappointed.
If you want to get the small dumplings, be here by 10. Or else it will be sold out by 11am.
The baked dim sum items are pretty good. Try the Xue san bao (snow mountain bun) and macau egg tarts.
Dim Sum: On weekends, I'd recommend getting there before 10:30 to avoid a 45 minute wait. Har gow (steamed shrimp dumplings), turnip cakes with XO Sauce, and No mai gai (lotus wraps) are my 3 musts.
Your first dance with Szechuan can be a shamanic epiphany worthy of hyperbole, fist-pumps, and exclamation points. Here's a proper place to embark on your maiden journey into the splendor of Ma la.
I'd posit Shanghainese is the gateway drug to all other Chinese regional cuisines. Musts: Lions Head Meatballs / Potstickers / XLB (Soup Dumplings) / Lamb with pickled napa soup / Shanghai Rice Cakes
I'm at a loss for words on the beef roll here, but like others, am tempted towards hyperbole. If you're ever organizing a big dinner in the SGV, fun to do this as the appetizer beforehand.
The SGV’s answer to P.F. Chang’s, this strip mall eatery is pan-Chinese at it’s best, serving up fine renditions of both Sichuan and Shanghainese food. Plus beef rolls and peking duck!
Sure, it may be a little pricey for dim sum, but there's hardly ever a wait, so if you're a late weekend riser, this place is gold. My rec: Order a peking duck to go with your dumplings and sweets.
Noodles and dumplings range from superb to transcendent. Mapo tofu is my 3rd fav in the SGV. Other must try items: 1. Sliced cucumber w/ shredded pork. 2. Eggplant with baby shrimp. 3. Pan fried buns.
Two Tasty Empanadas is my favorite food stand here. Whether you go savory or sweet, you're in for a handmade, exquisite treasure. Eagle Rock is the furthest west she comes. Well worth seeking out.
Tried the sumo sukiyaki dinner. They got me... must go back for more. Read more.
Dutch Pancake!!! Powdered sugar and lemony goodness! A must try if you love lemon!
Had Saturday lunch buffet w/honey we both loved the variety and the dosa"s were excellamt
You need to get at least medium spicy tofu to get full flavor. Just let the soup cool a bit!
Light, fluffy, fresh, and not too sweet. Just the way I like my cakes and just the way they make it here.
The aji sauce is almost unbearably hot for me, but I can't stop eating it!
Make sure you get the Yukino-Ya versions! Also, the pork rice is a delicious steal!
I've been looking for a Yi Gee/Imagawayaki cart ever since my usual vendor left Rowland Heights! This one is almost the same and just as good! Mmmmm I will be in San Gabriel more often.
Fill your Yi Gee with red bean, green bean, custard, taro, coconut, peanut, or moon bean!
Brand new place, just opened: modern restaurant, great sushi! Read more.
The chile relleno is cheesy goodness. But carnitas tacos is my goto. Cheap + filling.
I <3 the Shrimp Drunken Noodle and their Beeff Chow mein! I come all the way from LA to eat this!!!
Order the House Special Fish Filet, or the Tip Bo Luc Lac. Both are delicious. Go during lunch for a ridiculous deal!

Try the Hot Corned Beef On Rye With Swiss - Simple. Classic. Delightful. Full of memories and a touch of love.
Best bangers and mash in LA - cozy and groovy- trivia nights are great, the music is always good and the pints are plentiful
U.S. fans in Orange County would be wise to drop anchor at The Olde Ship which is distinguished by its personality and charm as well as its traditional British flare.
Wild crab dumplings-extra sticky and so good. Real crab meat and generous filling. Crispy Taro Ball and Honey Walnut prawn are by far my fav!
Crystal Shrimp Dumpling, steamed bbq pork bun, juicy pork dumpling and shrimp spring roll.... Umm all amaZin!!! If ur hesitant on taking the dumpling dive, try these
holey moley, those flaky baked chicken buns are scrumptious! don't leave without trying them!

The best still warm baguettes and french puff pasteries in Orange County.
Best French bakery. Bread is exactly like you would find it in Paris!!!!! Same!!!!!!
Oddly, the world's best spicy tuna isn't found at a sushi restaurant - it comes from a supermarket. - Lisa Lillien, Hungry Girl
Breaded chicken with beans, rice and plantains...BOMB!!! Potato balls were amazing too!
You can choose your noodles: thin (standard) or thick (chewy, hand rolled). Try both, they're delicious! The beef wrap and thousand layer pancake are great as side dishes.
Great house special beef noodle soup, opt for the hand-rolled noodles. Super tasty.
great enviroment. great hosts. amazing food! try the baby lobster crunch you'll love it....
Awesome sushi place - small but very good and very fresh. Definitely give the Red Dragon roll a try!
Make sure to try the Ceviche and Chica Morada. They also have weekday lunch specials!
Best baked crab rolls on Earth. I also love the crab tuna cone. The crispy cone adds a nice texture.
Spicy tuna on crispy rice, creamy rock shrimp, blue crab handroll, melt in ur mouth sushi... Oh the possibilities!
Small place but kicks ass! Nuff said! Seared spicy albacore tuna w/crispy onion is to die for.
The Oinkster Pastrami and Belgian Fries are to-die-for. Beer selection is pretty good too. Order the Ube Shake for your sweet tooth.
Get extra garlic aoili. I swear that sauce has magic in it! And I hate most aoli's and mayonaise type substances.
The Domery sauce was great! The fired cheese was awesome! The soup was fantastic! The service and the atmosphere was top notch!!!
Head straight to the crudo menu. Though you can order sashimi from the sushi bar, at Chaya, crudo is part of the main menu and features raw seafood with more than the traditional Japanese garnishes. Read more.
The spicy sashimi bowl was amazing and had heaping portions of salmon, yellow tail and tuna.
Dinner is menu; lunch is buffet. Chicken Jalfrezi was authentic and wonderful!
With 25 different types of dumplings, this Chinese spot is something different. And the famous Shandong-style beef roll, a burrito-like meal that’s massive, is just $6.75. Read more.
The tom yung kung soup is so bomb.com that we drive from far away to have it.
