The finger foods was Asian‑inspired, with flavors like black sesame, curry, and other creative twists that made each bite feel unique. Every piece was thoughtfully made, rich, and decadent without feeling repetitive, and the presentation was beautiful across the board. It definitely felt like a more elevated, modern take on afternoon tea. The tea itself, however, fell a bit short for me. I ordered a non‑caffeinated chrysanthemum tea, which unfortunately didn't have much depth or flavor. My friend's Darjeeling was better, but still not as rich or complex as I've had elsewhere. Given how strong the Asian inspiration is in the food, it would've been nice to see more thoughtful decaf tea options in that same direction, like decaf sencha, barley tea, or kuromamecha, to better match the concept. Price: The afternoon tea service is prix fixe at around $45 per person, which includes a curated set of savory bites, desserts, and a pot of tea. For the quality and creativity of the food, the price feels pretty reasonable compared to other OC tea services, though the tea itself didn't quite meet the same level as the food. Ambiance: The space is bright, warm, and inviting, with a nice amount of natural sunlight coming in that makes it feel cozy rather than stuffy. There are subtle Asian design elements woven into the décor, giving it a modern, slightly upscale feel without being overly formal. It's a great spot to catch up with friends and linger over tea. Service: Service was good, friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. Even during a busy service, staff remained kind and approachable, which added to the overall relaxed vibe. Parking: Parking can take a bit of effort. Since it's located on a busy street in Orange, you may need to circle around the roundabout or park a little farther away and walk over. Not impossible, but definitely something to plan for, especially on weekends.

I was impressed with the food overall, particularly the desserts! The food was also surprisingly filling. I also appreciated having the option to sample the teas before ordering.

I stopped by for an early dinner on my way back to San Diego last weekend. My friend and I each got the bulgogi garlic noodles (I added the egg but for $2.50 not sure it added a lot of flavor or value to the dish), shared the wings and an order fries. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee on the cashier's recommendation--good suggestion, nice flavor without an overpowering amount of sugar. The wings were fantastic. Fries were fair, good portions and flavorful. I liked the noodles but weren't blown away. Everything was very soft, not a lot of textural change. The portion was generous with lots of bulgogi beef. The service was great--friendly and responsive. They have a small lot which was fine at 530pm on Sunday but probably problematic at lunch or normal dinner hours. My one complain was dirty dining room. Maybe it was just after the lunch rush, but the tables and floor could have used some wiping and the trash cans were full. Nice easy meal stop off the freeway at Orange.

Food is the main reason I came here desperate to find a good pho place in the area. I've tried so…read moremany pho restaurants and was always left empty. Finally pho done right! I got the beef and brisket pho. They only have one size but it came with a good amount of beef. I usually eat alot and order extra noodles to be satisfied. The great part about the noodles is it came with a generous amount of broth with it, they didn't skimp like most places do. The reason I like their pho is 3 fold. 1. Broth is actually great. 2. Meat is flavorful which is rare when it comes to steak (pun intended); usually they just mask the flavor of meat with good pho broth but not here. And lastly the noodles are not chewy and separate well when eating, I can't really explain this well but I love noodles like this and not when they are harder to chew or taste too much of starch/flour. Here they do all 3 right which I'm very well pleased. I rarely leave reviews but the service was also good and vibe is great for family or kids because of the larger space between tables so I had to make this review.

I thought they were good but he had a few critiques about them. I got a bowl of pho and he got the garlic noodles and lomo. The pho, like I have said before is as good as can be expected. The lomo was very overseasoned. The thing is, I like my food on the saltier and more seasoned side and the lomo was still a little extra for me. The service was good. Everyone, although some were non-English speaking, was very nice. The decor was interesting. The seats all have a photograph of a resort on them. Would I come back? I dunno. I might.

When asked for menu, the server said sorry it's bc they don't have alot of menu books available but proceeded to give me 3 out of like 10 that I see they have. So they obviously had some! There were only 3 tables that had customers. After that taking the menus, we were again not attended to for 20-30minutes, noone brought us water or ever asked if we were ready. We had to flag them, once again. They were at least 3 servers so it's not like they were short of help when there's only 3 tables full at the time. It's like they were ignoring us. We proceeded to order 9 dishes that took awhile to come out. Only 1 dish came out which was the walnut shrimp and then more came out 15minutes later. How do they expect our big party to start eating with just 1 dish. We also had to wait literally 30minutes with nothing to eat for 3 dishes at the end when we finished everything else already. We had to ask about it 3 times. They need better timing in everything.... I noticed a couple tables having the same problems. As for the food, it was alright. The honey walnut shrimp and fried salted pepper shrimp was not crispy. The peking duck was actually great, one of the best. But it is not worth their service & other foods.. There are tons of chinese food options out there, we will not be coming back here. 2il

Our favorites were the Lomo Saltado, Pho Supreme, and Spicy Wontons. The Lomo Saltado was flavorful and tender, the pho broth was rich and comforting, and the wontons had just the right amount of spice. We also enjoyed the Shaken Salmon Fried Rice and Grilled Pork Vermicelli Noodles--both were packed with flavor and perfect for sharing. The Ocean Pacific Jasmine Green Tea was refreshing, and the Taco Coffee was a fun way to end the meal. The restaurant was clean, the service was friendly, and the portions were generous. It's the kind of place where everyone can find something they like on the menu.

Favorite dishes: - Spicy noodle w/ chicken wontons: sauce is a banger, not too spicy, and they're generous with it to coat all of the noodles! - Lomo Saltado w/ Filet Mignon: the fries are sooo good with a sweet crunch to it PLUS the creamy little spicy cilantro green sauce is so good!!! Picanha had too much fat on it for me, the filet mignon was definitely the move - Garlic noodles: Perfect amount of garlic & butter to the noodles. And again, the green sauce is so superior with this.
