    Been a few years since I've last updated my review here. We've been back many times since they first opened and the food/service has been consistently good. After many failed attempts, we were finally able to reserve the Peking duck and I'd say it's pretty damn good. Almost on par with Da Dong or 1949 in Beijing. Love the newish manager Daiano who will give you an awesome background of the Na family business in China and LA/OC. We have been requesting Jerry as our server as his service has been fantastic.

    This time around, the service was top-notch. I had a reservation to celebrate a birthday, and they had a table ready for us when we arrived. They even remembered that we were there for the birthday celebration, which was a nice touch. The food came out much quicker than during my last visit, and the quality remains high. We ordered a total of six dishes to share among three people and left feeling reasonably full. Here's what we had: Crispy Shrimp - A must-order. It's incredibly crispy without being overly seasoned, which lets the texture shine. (5/5) Smoked Pork Rib - So good. I've never had anything quite like it. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and absolutely delicious. (5/5) Shrimp Fried Rice with Bonito - An elevated take on Chinese fried rice. It's a bit pricey, but definitely a step above your standard fried rice. (4.5/5) Stir-Fried Pea Sprouts with Mushroom - A simple, classic vegetable dish that is a must-order. The flavors weren't overpowering, which I really appreciated. (4.5/5) Chinese Beef Pie - Probably the most basic item we ordered, but still very tasty. It reminded me of a pan-fried bao with a flavorful beef filling. (4/5) Old Beijing Minced Eggplant Noodles - They were kind enough to provide this dish complimentary for the birthday celebration. The flavors were simple, but it was still very enjoyable. (4.5/5) Overall, it was a great experience. It's definitely more of a special-occasion restaurant, as our bill came out to about $120 for three people. However, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, and the food quality is consistently high. Everything we ordered was enjoyable, and I'd gladly return.

    Decided to come here for dinner on a whim and managed to snag a table despite not having a reservation. I knew the restaurant was upscale, but didnt realize they were Michelin rated. It was popping on a Friday evening and I can see why. The service and food are both excellent (although it also does come with a heftier price tag) We wanted to get the peking duck, but unfortunately it requires a week of advanced reservation. We ended up getting: Prime angus ribs - Excellent, super tender and flavorful meat that goes well with the (black pepper?) sauce Shredded pork with sweat bean sauce - comes served with chinese pancake (the thin stretchy crepe kind, not tortilla or bun). You eat it similar to how you'd eat a peking duck wrap, with some cucumber and spring onions but replace the duck with the shredded pork hah. Good flavor, enjoyed this dish quite a bit Stir fried pea sprouts - The dish comes stir fried with mushroom but we opted for a garlic stir fry (without mushroom) instead and it was excellent. Very garlicky and tasty. Secret Tofu - this was the most disappointing dish. It came recommended, but the tofu was more like an egg tofu and it wasnt crispy enough. Will pass. Will return again to try their peking duck next time!

    My friend highly recommended that I try Bistro Na's, raving about its excellent quality and authentic Chinese cuisine, so I was excited to give it a try. We made a reservation on OpenTable for dinner about a week in advance. We didn't know this until the day of our reservation, but Bistro Na's was actually the first and only Chinese restaurant in the greater Los Angeles area to hold a Michelin star, which they held in 2019 and 2021. The restaurant has since lost its star, but remains on the Michelin guide.  Our reservation was at 5pm on a Sunday. The inside is grand and ornate with architecture and decor inspired by imperial China. Oddly, it was a bit empty. I got the Lychee Galaxy Drink, which came in a large mason-jar style glass. It was lukewarm. The drink reminded me of something you'd get at a casual boba shop or the 626 night market. The first dish to arrive was the Black Cod Stew with Tofu, which was essentially a mapo tofu with fish nuggets on top. I found it a little bland and unexciting.  Next, we tried the Crispy Shrimp, which was one of their signature dishes. This one was actually really good. The shrimp were lightly glazed in a sweet sauce and had a satisfying lightly crispy exterior.  But on that note - I feel like a lot of the dishes we ordered turned out to be unexpectedly sweet. The Crispy Shrimp was sweet. The fried mushrooms were sweet. The Braised Abalone & Pork Belly with Chinese Puffy Pie dish was fun - I'll give them that. I liked making my little hamburger and the protein was very tender... but flavor-wise... It was just sweet. As standalone dishes, they probably would have been fine, but after a while, I got sick of everything being sweet. Or, to be more specific, I got sick of everything only being sweet. I think they needed more savoriness to balance out the sweetness and make the dishes more interesting.  It was like the sweet dishes were too sweet and the savory dishes were not savory enough. The mapo tofu was disappointing. The scallion pancakes were nothing special. The bonito fried rice needed salt. Overall, I felt very let down. Even without the Michelin distinction, I would have found the food lacking in quality. So considering that this restaurant is currently on the Michelin guide, I was very disappointed.

    Na's Prime Angus Rib
    Regan W.

    Pricey but good. Luxuriously prepared. Angus ribs were the star. Very flavorful and incredibly tender with two excellent sauces to complement. Rest, a pork belly and special menu chicken, were fine. Wanted to get the Peking Duck but that requires a week in advance reservation. The dining area is very uniquely adorned in Imperial Chinese style and decorations. It's an atmosphere you just don't see as much these days. Makes you feel like an emperor! Minus one star for a very full parking lot, a hefty price, and the Peking duck week reservation requirement. But otherwise a nice upscale and Michelin starred place to entertain friends and family.

    Amazing food, service and ambiance. Not sure what else you can ask for. Make sure you order the duck at least a week in advance! Experienced so many different Chinese dishes I never would've imagined. Some of my family are vegetarian and there were lots of options for them too. I think you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

    It was our first time here at Bistro Nas! I first heard about this place a few years back so I've been meaning to try this place. We came for Mother's Day and it was busy. Of course we had a reservation so that helped us with the waiting. The plaza is a bit crowded so if you're lucky you'll find a good parking spot. Otherwise it's a little bit of a battle because there's a gym in the plaza as well. Decor and ambiance creates a nice out of the country feel and it is beautiful. Noise level was loud and hectic, rather than a calming relaxing meal. Everyone was talking loudly to hear over each other. The service was friendly, but they do need to be clear about prices and quantity. Menu items with prices were clear and as is, but certain items were not such as the recommended dishes by staff. Market price items should be clarified on size they have available. Honestly we thought we ordered an single dish item with a set price. We were brought items we did not ordered but was on our bill. Most likely staff added it in or misheard. Since it was our first time, we weren't sure what to expect so we let it slide since staff was friendly. Just be careful and double check what you are ordering. We expected it to be busy but it did seem a bit chaotic inside. For a more upscale food and pricing, it should be a bit more managed, but it was a busy dinner time. The food itself was delicious. Everything was flavorful so it was great tasting what they have to offer. Chinese food but a little bit more creative with taste. Bill came out pretty high, over $350+. Delicious but debatable if it's equivalent to the experience. They do need to improve on the chaos and the clarity and transparency with the staff on orders. That way there won't be misunderstandings. Props to the chef though, food was delicious.

    Delicious and you need to definitely order this

    I'm going to say something sensational and perhaps even controversial but I am not impressed. For a 1 Michelin star that's Ali Wong's "go-to spot," Bistro Na's made me realize what a peasant palate I have. Maybe I'm just not made for the finer things in life or maybe, just maybe, I'm a pragmatic person who isn't frivolous enough to waste my hard-earned money with the overpriced meal here. And before you go and call me cheap, which I don't mind b/c like an "a-hole," everyone has an opinion, I just can't justify the return on joy relative the $$$ I'm paying. I don't mind spending $$$ for a meal, but a $$$ meal not only needs to correlate to quality, flavor, taste and service, but in this day and age in which gas prices can climb up to $8 (with the war) and increasing inflation and commodity costs, it has to correlate to the value too. Ambience and decor is beautiful here. 5 stars. If you want to feel like an emperor or empress, you better get ready to feel like royalty because of the setting - classy and of a time once forgotten. Service - servers were attentive but service isn't just that. It includes the overall dining experience of service and care, like how promptly did you get your drinks and did they arrive before or after the food arrived. Our main entrees arrive in lightning speed but the two bowls of rice we ordered, and because I'm Chinese, I must have my rice with my entree. It didn't come and we had to ask someone about it. We also ordered the pea sprouts with mushrooms. We were 75% done with the entrees and the veggie dish still didn't come yet. The table with a family of 4, who came in after us, got their food and then their chayote leaves veggies dish and still...no pea sprouts in site to be coming towards our table. Disappointing... Let me get to the food now. Quality - 5 stars. Taste - 5 stars, so food gets 5 stars. Crispy Shrimp ($28 for regular and $48 for medium) this was all I wanted to try and I had high expectations. It definitely delivered. Crispy and easy to eat even with the shell on. Flavor is reminiscent of Honey Walnut Shrimp without that creamy mayo flavor and mouthfeel. Diced Black Pepper Honey Angus Beef ($46 regular and $69 medium) was super tender and cooked to medium rare / rare perfection. Sweet savory flavor with a hint of black pepper - perfection also. We got the regular portion (since it was for me and a +1) and while they serve it on a long oval plate to make it look like it's a bigger portion, the big plate only highlights the 7 pieces you get. Yes, 7 pieces of beef. Pea Sprouts with Mushrooms ($24 regular) - pea sprouts are one of my favorite veggies. The dish was flavorful but lack something - then, I realized what it was. Where's the garlic??? Typically, veggies in Chinese cuisine are cooked in the wok with garlic. Without it, this dish fell short. Two bowls of rice ($3 each) - rice just seems like a given and should accompany the dishes that are ordered. Fine, go ahead and charge it à la carte but as least make the price make sense. Maybe that's how they make you want to order the fried rice instead. When you're paying $6-$12 for small bowls of white steamed rice, you might as well pay for a $18 shrimp fried rice!?! Value - no brainer here but 1 star. I just can't justify the price tag. Food is good but was it mind-blowingly good to what you pay? No, not all. If you're rich and money flows in easily and you don't care about just throwing money where ever and whichever way, more power to you; and you should definitely eat here. But for someone who works really hard for her money and want a high quality meal at a reasonable price, also I ain't no baller man, I will never be coming back. It's one of those "one-and-done" places for me. Maybe one day when I win the lottery...wait, no, even if I won the lottery, I can't. It just isn't worth it. Sorry. 5 stars - ambiance 2 stars - overall dining experience 5 stars - food 1 star - value 3.25 total stars

    Higher end elevated Chinese food but honestly EVERYTHINGGGG was absolutely delicious!! the decor is stunning and feels like you're in a palace, which makes it feel like you are coming for the overall experience. Wish I could try the Peking duck next time but everything we tried so far is delicious! Pretty pricy but worth to try. Recommend coming here with at least 4 people to try more dishes. Food: eggplant, shrimp, pork wraps. Tofu skin salad, drunken chicken, pork belly. note if it's your birthday they give out long life noodles, first timer!

    Have come to the restaurant too separate occasions now, once with friends, and once with family. TLDR, The service is impeccable, and decor is amazing, but unfortunately, the food looks great but just doesn't taste good. The first time I went, my friend, and I got the fried rice, which had almost no fragrance and barely seem fried at all. Under seasoned, not good. We ordered the pea shoot leaves which were stirfry with mushrooms. The quality of the ingredients were definitely there, but unfortunately, there was zero flavor. I really appreciate my food to be light and to not have very much salt, but this had almost 0 salt, and absolutely no garlic was added to it which made the flavor disappointing. Our starter/appetizer was the gelatinous pig feet. The presentation was excellent, and it was great to look at, furthermore, would even say the ingredients tasted relatively high quality, but again there was no flavor. Their braised pork belly is good, not great. I think it's quite tender but not enough sauce. This was probably the best thing that we got there. Finally, we got the fish (whatever is in the photo). Again, looks great but literally no flavor despite being surrounded by aromatic vegetables. Quite bland, would have greatly preferred a traditional steamed fish over this, or honestly just some soy sauce

    Service was 4/5! Ambiance 5/5 Food 5/5 Honestly ? Been wanting to try this spot for a long time and finally came here today! Food was high quality and presentation is 5/5. Dishes flavor were all balanced, nothing was over powering and salty. They know how to just create flavor, and the flavors were just right. We tried many dishes! Even the fried rice was 5/5. Price is up there but high end quality food! Service was amazing first half of meal and the service disappeared second half. Had to call someone to box our food and order dessert. Overall 4.5/5! Yum

    Came here with my family to celebrate a special occasion. My father-in-law made a reservation, and in the reservation notes, he requested to reserve a Peking duck, which he knew he had to ask for a week in advance. Unfortunately, we were told that you have to call to reserve it, and that the Opentable reservation notes are not read. That was a bit of a disappointment. We ended up ordering the Combo D, which came with around 6 appetizers/entrees, and we supplemented it with the crispy shrimp, prime angus rib, and smoked duck. We thought the entrees ranged from just ok to very good. The ones that were highlights were the smoked duck, crispy shrimp, imperial beef, and kurobata braised pork. We found the prime angus rib to lack flavor and was a bit dry. The chicken with abalone sauce dish just tasted like soy sauce chicken. The other dishes (bok choy, sea bass) didn't really stand out and were just average. Overall, I think we had very high expectations given the reputation, and it didn't quite reach the hype we had. The food overall was still good, but given the price, the service left a lot to be desired. When ordering, the waitress told us some of the dishes we wanted were unavailable, and when she checked with the kitchen staff, it was then available to order. After ordering, we were then told that a different dish we ordered was not available! It just seemed Iike staff were very unclear regarding what was available. We ordered dessert with our entrees, and after finishing our meal, we were brought the check, without the dessert being served until we reminded the staff. I do have to say, the servers who were refilling our drinks were very on top of it. Still, I would expect a high end restaurant to be a bit more organized.

    I love Bistro Na's. It's upscale, and it makes you feel that way--not just through decor, but through service and flavor. What I respect most is that they don't try to be like everyone else. They take risks. They do things differently. The flavors are distinctive because the kitchen isn't afraid to create. That kind of creativity--from team to customer--deserves respect. The service is very good. You can feel the structure behind it. Organized, attentive, and consistent. It doesn't feel accidental. I always start with the pear drink to warm up the belly. Simple, comforting, and thoughtful. And the jumbo shrimp is a must. It's one of those dishes you remember. If you're looking for refined Chinese dining that tries to push itself a little further, give it a try. It won't disappoint.

    I do say this is my go-to spot for Korean comfort food in Arcadia at Omma Tofu House. Located…read moreinside the food court next to 99 Ranch and Sunright Studios (delicious boba), this place has become my regular for convenient, satisfying Korean meals. Their cold noodle dish is easily one of the best within a 15-mile radius. Honestly, there's not much competition in the area, so it's more about convenience versus driving farther for the absolute best, but Omma delivers consistently good quality that keeps me coming back. The bulgogi plate is a must-order when dining in. There's something special about that sizzling hot plate arriving at your table with the meat still bubbling and caramelizing. The banchan is standard fare with basic kimchi, nothing to speak home about but expected for standard Korean cruisine. What I appreciate most is how family-friendly this place is. The food court setting offers plenty of spacious seating, and parking in the lot is never an issue. I mostly do pickups and there's usually no wait time. The one time we did sit down to eat, I noticed a steady stream of delivery orders going out, which speaks to their popularity. It's not fancy, but for quick, reliably good Korean food in a convenient location with easy parking, Omma Tofu House hits the spot. Perfect for those times when I'm craving cold noodles or sizzling bulgogi without the hassle.

I decided to try to go in person and order my usual bibimbap + seafood tofu soup. I remember extra banchan can be ordered but not sure about dine in. I ordered directly with the server who handed me a buzzer to wait for my order to be called. It took an around 10minutes for the food the be ready. I had two trays, one for soup and banchan and the other for bibimbap. You mix your bowl of rice (be careful since the bowl is metal and hot!) into the bibimbap bowl, add sauce (only spicy version they do not have nonspicy sauce!) and mix!! It has all sorts of veggies and meat bits and a fried egg. You can also add all the banchan in as well but we wanted to eat them separately with each bite. They gave us a raw egg (crack it in the soup asap if you don't want it runny!) which I cracked into the hot stone soup, be careful because the bowl is super hot!! I think someone melted our tray with is be fair because the tray was morphed as well. Soup was delicious, love the tiny shrimps, clams, and oyster pieces inside with plenty of tofu which I mixed into bibimbap as well. Banchan was 5 dishes! Potato's salad is new to me as I'm used to their kimchi, seaweed, bean sprouts and fish tofu dishes. All great! Enough food so I didn't ask if they give extra banchan or a price or free. Once we were done we returned the tray and bowls to the restaurant. Glad I tried this is person! Still amazing and worth the wait.

I appreciated that they gave…read moreme my katsu chicken curry with a curry bowl as opposed to the curry being served with the plate with the chicken. I feel like not a lot of places offer that and it was nice to see. We also got the cold soba which was perfect for the weather. Wasabi, onion, the whole soba package. This place was good and charming with the ducky decor. The staff were also super nice. Will def be back!

As an adult, I would crave it, but sometimes I just didn't have the energy or the ingredients to make the dish or it would be super expensive to eat this at a Japanese restaurant. I was craving something simple on a random weekday night and I saw Ducks come up. I went over and even though it was past dinner time, it still was pretty busy. I decided on cold soba, udon, karage and pork cutlet. Food came out pretty quickly. My favorite was the cold soba (simple and delicious) and the karage (perfect batter and chicken). The cold udon was ok, but I think it would have been better hot. The pork cutlet was also decent. I'm definitely going to come back here. They have a lunch special that I really want to try and other items that looked tasty. I do want to warn though that I don't think that their AC works well (or maybe it doesn't work?), so it was super hot it there. If you get overly hot, definitely recommend picking up on hot days.

    I had been craving Korean street food, and since this spot was nearby, I decided to give it a try…read more I loved that they had my favorite combo meal all in one, which made ordering so easy. Everything was really satisfying, and I also enjoyed the K pop music they were playing. They have a great menu with lots of different options, so there's something for everyone. It's located in a small plaza with parking available, although it can get pretty crowded. If the lot is full, there's also street parking right across the street.

We dined-in, and we ordered the mung bean pancake, boneless chicken with soy garlic, and half chicken with honey butter. Total was $45.27 (including tax, before tip). While waiting for our order, we were given pickled radishes and the sauce for our mung bean pancake. I really enjoyed the pickled radishes, they were nicely sweet and sour. It took around 10 mins for our order to come out. Mung bean pancake: I absolutely loved the mung bean pancake. It was my first time ever trying it, and it was so crispy and yummy. I love mung beans, so it was great. By itself, the pancake is great, but the sauce that came with it elevated it. It's also a huge portion too! Half chicken with honey butter: This was so crispy and juicy! The honey butter flavor is so unique! I do think it's a bit too sweet for me, but I enjoyed it still. Boneless with soy garlic: I enjoyed the soy garlic flavor more than the honey butter! This was very crispy and tasty too, but not as juicy as the half chicken. Overall, everything was so delicious. All of us enjoyed it! I do prefer bone-in chicken, so I'd probably just get that the next time I come here. I definitely would get the mung bean pancake again too. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

    I wasn't expecting a single beef rib to be this impressive. The first thing that caught my…read moreattention was the size. It looked like something straight out of a food show. Thankfully, the taste lived up to the appearance. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. It came right off the bone without falling apart completely, which gave it a really satisfying texture. What I liked most was that the beef itself was the star of the dish. It had a rich, smoky flavor and didn't rely on heavy seasoning or sauce to stand out. The lime wedges on the side were a surprisingly good addition and helped balance the richness of the meat. This was one of those dishes that made everyone at the table stop talking for a moment and just enjoy the food. Definitely the most memorable thing I ordered at Good Alley, and I would come back just for this beef rib.

To share, my friends and I had the following: - Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao): These were tasty and juicy and I liked how the soup wasn't scalding. I do wish the texture of the dumpling wrapper was better though. - A5 Wagyu Beef Chinese Burger: One of my favorite dishes tonight. I loved the crispy bun and the flavorful and tender meat inside. - Flaky Beef Wrap: Another one of my favorite dishes of the night. It was flaky and full of meat which I liked. Among some of the best beef rolls I've had thus far. - Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles (Kurobuta Pork): These were creamy and good. I like how these weren't too salty. - Dry Pot Cauliflower: Surprised at how good one this was. Textures and flavors were good. Only downside was the pork belly which was kind of hard, but the cauliflower was good on its own. For what we got, the prices were pretty good and reasonable. My friend and I did walk-in on a Sunday night and we waited for around 15 minutes to get seated. The interior was clean and the service was attentive. My water cup was never empty. There's also lots of free parking in front and a bathroom available. Overall, I had a great experience here and would definitely come back with visitors.

The soup and quality of ingredients are consistent and tasty, with a decent sized dipping sauce bar. I'd also add their tea and beverage options are of good quality, whereas some spots only offer sub par Thai tea all of those have been good. I struggle to find complaints, fast seating, good food, great flavor, reheats well the next day, customizable price point, kind and responsive staff, truly no issues have presented themselves. OH! Every 10lbs you buy result in a free lb of food. Call me cheap but I like when spots reward customer consistency and provide little perks.

There's a decent amount of veggie and meat options. I'm very conscientious of getting more bang for your buck so I look for the lightest weighed items. Skipping most of the noodles since those are mostly fillers. Once you've built your bowl you go up to the front to get weighed. They give you a receipt and a keychain for your hotpot. I'm assuming it's like an assembly line of bowls being cooked in the kitchen in the back. They bring you your cooked hot pot bowl. While you wait, you can make your sauces. They have your basic chopped garlic, cilantro, satay and other sauces. I'm okay with a spicy hot pot but I still want to enjoy my food so I keep it on the mild end. Overall it was a nice experience and a decent spot for a random night of hot pot.
