    Wings - Large (24 pcs) French Fries Tteokboki
    Michelle S.

    TL;DR - super duper yummy wings, perfect for family dining! I came here to celebrate my friend's bday with a group of 7 people total. - Bonchon is great because it has wing packs so it was easy for us to share (i would also recommend the french fries) lots of booth seating, cool decorations, and not too cramped. staff is very efficient and friendly when taking orders, our server was extremely patient.

    For appetizers, the bulgogi fries and the bao buns are great starters. Their wings and drumsticks can be split between flavors and the soy garlic and Korean bbq were my favorite ones. They're extremely crunchy and pack a lot of flavor. The udon has one of the best broths I've tried because it was rich, savory, and the noodles soaked up the broth, making each bite better than the last. The service was great, very accommodating, and there's a bar inside too. It's also located in a small shopping center. You can find a detailed breakdown on Instagram @ToshiEats

    Came here after having not so delicious food next door thinking it would be bomb Korean fried chicken. It was not... it was very crunchy which sounds nice, but it was just all batter. The flavor wasn't that strong for the one that we got seasoning on. The service was great so props to the server!

    My buddy and I pulled up in his truck, and we couldn't tell if it was open. Thank goodness it was because we were hungry! I have eaten here before and I was sure that my companion was going to love this chicken. He ordered the strips, half spicy and half garlic. I had the three legs with the fried pickles (delicious). The hard crispy crust with the sweet glaze just knocks me out every time, it is so delicious! These are one of a kind fried chicken legs and they may be the best I have ever had in 68 years of loving fried chicken. My friend was even more impressed than I expected. He orders some pickled radish and Kim chee on the side. The service was fab, the food was fab, the ambiance is unimpressive but comfortable. Gonna love the chicken!

    Very spacious convenient location. I'm a fan of this restaurant regardless ample parking quality every time any location. They always have specials so keep an eye out. Come get your crunch on. Tell me though how are your drumsticks so big and still so crispy yet moist and juicy? Servers always checking on you love it here !

    Like they weren't even trying when they put the sauce on.

    This is the best fried chicken I've ever had. The spicy sauce is VERY spicy (which I like). It's always perfectly crispy.

The Northeast rice wrap is huge and filling, the iron-plate fried instant noodles are not oily or mushy and come with egg and luncheon meat, and the shredded chicken pairs well with rice. The New Orleans-style wings are juicy and well-seasoned without being too salty. Delivery from this place is already a solid 10/10, but the food definitely tastes even better dining in! Highly recommended trying out.

I saw reviews of people eating here so I thought it was a late night sit down restaurant. Such a bummer. I bet the food is great It was just confusing and misleading We ended up having to just go back to our hotel and ate Doritos for dinner.

Since this is their newer location compared to the original spot over on Bristol, the wait here can be a bit easier to manage, which is a huge plus. The inside is sleek, clean, and has a really relaxed vibe for dinner. The food is genuinely top-tier. The green papaya salad (Som Tum) is super crisp, fresh, and hits you with that perfect balance of sweet, sour, and heat, loaded with crunchy peanuts. We also got the Tom Kha soup, which comes out piping hot in a heavy ceramic bowl--it's insanely rich and creamy with coconut flavor, easily some of the best around. You also can't go wrong with their fried chicken wings. They come out super crispy, super juicy, and served alongside a spicy dipping sauce and a little basket of sticky rice to eat it with. Service is fast and super friendly, and not having to fight as long of a crowd makes the whole meal way more enjoyable. Parking in the center lot is straightforward, too. Highly recommend checking out this Newport location if you want incredible Thai food with a slightly smoother wait.

Our waitress was always there when we needed her and would check up on us consistently! The place is very spacious, music was lively, and overall great atmosphere. Bathrooms were clean and it had a mouth wash dispenser including the cup As for food and drinks, everything was so delicious! Yuzu Lemonade was very refreshing and was a nice mix of the flavors. The yuzu and lemonade didn't overpower each other, and a nice touch of the mint leaf! Kei Coconut Ube had a nice taste to it. The sweetness was nice, super purple in color, and worth trying at least once. Drink definitely does not look or taste like a beer so think of it as a sparkling Ube drink when you try it. Beef Tongue appetizer was very tasty and the appearance was pretty. The sauce was very delicious with a hint of citrus. Beef Bowl Udon was delicious as well. The udon noodles are in the middle of the thickness level. Broth was nice and refreshing, and the beef belly was super soft and tasted amazing. Seafood Tom Kha Ramen was really good. Seafood in it were shrimps, scallops, and squid/calamari. Not too spicy, but had a nice kick to it. Veggies were nice and mixed well with the seafood ramen! Unfortunately, the eggs do not come with the udon or ramen, but they do have free unlimited ramen noodles!!! They let you get it for the udon broths as well! Would definitely come back to this place when I'm back in this part of town!

My daughter is adventurous and loves trying different kinds of food. I made reservations a month in advance for a party of 5. 2 adults, 13, 10 and 7yo. We came here on August 2nd. Their brunch is only available the first Sunday of the month. First of all, it's been very warm in orange county and we noticed that it was warm in the restaurant. Stuffy and you can barely feel the air conditioning. They only had lamb that day as their protein option. They ran out towards the middle of our meal, and they had to cook up some steak (flank?). You get one non-alcoholic drink ticket. There were about 5 different options and my husband and I saved our tickets for the kids so they can try a few more since we were limited to one ticket each. A few other options they had included chicken pho (basic and very little flavor), steamed sui mai (meat dumplings) that tasted like it was frozen and over cooked, fried egg (literally just that), spring roll, fried wontons, and one chocolate dessert. Remember this is an AYCE brunch! I was floored. Of course I spoke to the manager after dinner and he gave me the most annoyed and disgusted look. He was a tall, Asian man that looked like he was in his late 20s. I saw an older Caucasian man standing next to him and he looked like he could have been the owner or someone in charge, so I asked and sure enough he was the owner. He was kind and attentive the entire time. But I basically told the owner that I didn't like the way the manager side eyed me and frowned as soon as I said I'd like to speak to the manager. In any case, I told them everything that I had mentioned here. The owner took down my email address and phone number and offered to invite us back another time. I was optimistic that maybe they would send me an email to apologize and to invite us to come back. I was tempted to write this review immediately after I left but I thought I would just sit on it. I figured maybe they would be nice and try to make things right. A week later... no email or call. It's been over a month and nothing. Why bother take down my information if you're not going to do anything about it? We walked out paying almost $400 for a terrible and grossly expensive meal and we all left hungry and unhappy. My husband I and haven't been here since the AnQi's famous garlic noodles days so it's been at least 10 years. We thought we'd come back and check out the brunch with our kids. Unimpressed. Will never come back again. Hands down worst $$$ meal ever. AnQi - Please do better.

The puff bread was a bit too flour-y for me but I loved the honey butter it came with. I really hope the crab roe spaghetti stays on the menu because it was delicious, great portion, and had amazing crab flavor. The pasta was also well cooked and sauce not too creamy. The berry part of the matcha berry tiramisu was the strongest so I didn't detect matcha as much. They were kind enough to provide a small slice of chocolate cake a la mode with a candle for the birthday and it was actually a great balance of flavor, not being too rich or heavy in chocolate. I would order this again separately as a solid fudge sundae. The beef carpaccio, squid ink uni pasta, spicy miso carbonara, mentaiko pizza, and sticky toffee pudding are still solid as usual. Came back yet another time, and got the beef carpaccio because I just love the truffle flavor, the two sauces, and the arugula/apple bites in between. The only improvement would be smaller slices to make it easier to eat since the larger ones are hard to pick up. The crab roe spaghetti I had to get again for the summer menu in case they decide not to keep it for fall/winter because the crab flavor is so good. My friend ordered the seafood malfadine which I was apprehensive about considering my previous experience but WOW I was surprised by how different it was this time around because when I tried a bite, they REALLY turned it around. I'm so grateful my friend decided to order it because after trying theirs, I might start ordering it again for myself now. Not sure if I had it on an off day previously or they changed the recipe but it now is actually as flavorful as the spicy miso carbonara and might actually be even better. The sausage flavor actually adds a lot of richness without being heavy or overpowering, the spice is a good kick without being actually spicy, the shrimp is delicious, but I kept going back for the sauce. INI Ristorante is one of very few restaurants I consistently keep coming back to instead of trying other new spots in the area because I can't choose my favorite out of so many good things on the menu and just want them all so I need to come with bigger groups or rotate each time I visit. A great problem to have. Their dishes are innovative, pack full flavor, and are unique enough to not find elsewhere. I never have to worry about finding parking and I love being able to reserve in advance since it gets busy. They're the spot I keep bringing friends and family to.
