時間在走,年齡在長,懂的多了,看的多了,你就會珍惜你現在所擁有的快樂~ 這次吃下來,覺得早就該來這裡了,做得非常道地很有台味,麻油腰花超嫩的,三杯大會串,道地,海產粥,不僅好吃,用料也非常的豐富,我們還點了開陽絲瓜,五更腸旺, 松阪豬,還有金沙龍蝦,是不是每一道光聽名字,就讓人家飢腸轆轆呀! 中午訂的包廂, $350起跳,晚上是$500起跳,還有卡拉OK可以唱,他們只有一間包廂,老闆娘說若在包廂,也可以自己帶酒過來,餐廳後面還有一個很大的免費停車場,好停車,整體來說我覺得是一個很棒的台式料理的餐廳

Yakitori
Roni V.

Stopped by with the intention to try the cute desserts I had seen on display on a previous day. Unfortunately on this day there were zero desserts and the wait staff didn't know if they would have them back. We stayed anyway and decided to try some of the yakitori, cold cucumber and mopu tofu. There was definitely a language barrier with the staff and the menu. The translations on the menu were mostly incorrect so it was very difficult to understand and order. The sever tried to help as much as she could but she also had trouble translating so we ended up using Google translate, which limited the items we ordered. We ended up settling on beef brisket, sirloin and prawns. I enjoyed the seasoning which seemed to be the same in all (spicy and lots of cumin), but my friend thought they were too spicy and there was no way to know what was spicy or not so she couldn't order anything else. Also other items were mostly lamb or seafood but we didnt see any chicken and no pork as per the translation and per the server. We arrived at dinner opening time and although we were only one of three other tables, the service and food arrival was very slow. Besides the language barrier, it was confusing trying to figure out the name of the place,there is signage outside which says Flora but Google still has Orange Bistro which was the previous establishment name and the receipt was all in Chinese so that was no help with figuring it out either -but here we are, review under Orange Bistro Anyway, because I do like spicy food and enjoyed the yakitori, I'll return hopefully to try other food items with someone who understands the language and hopefully to find the cute desserts. Also, noticed a large group of men just hanging out ordering lots of food and BYOB so seems to be a chill and laid back spot to hang out.

The restaurant is now under new ownership and has shifted its focus to charcoal-grilled skewers, available exclusively during dinner service. Fortunately, they've kept some of the original Taiwanese menu, offering the best of both worlds. The skewers are outstanding--beautifully grilled with a deep, smoky charcoal flavor in every bite, enhanced by a bold and aromatic spicy cumin seasoning. Each one was cooked to perfection. A standout dish was the eggplant with century egg. Presented in a mortar and pestle, the dish combines soft, smoky eggplant with grilled peppers for a punch of flavor, while the century egg adds a pleasantly springy texture that ties everything together. We also loved the crispy pumpkin coated in salted egg yolk. With its golden, crunchy exterior and sweet, tender pumpkin center, each bite delivered a rich, savory burst of salted egg yolk flavor. For dessert, the crispy mochi rolls with peanut powder and brown sugar were a perfect finish--crispy outside, chewy inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. All in all, a fantastic dinner and a great value at around $20 per person (including tip). Highly recommended!

Stir-fried Cured Pork with Dried Tofu This combo is absolutely perfect. The smoky aroma of the cured pork blends beautifully with the bean flavor of the tofu. The spiciness is just right--not overpowering--so it doesn't mask the natural flavors. Great choice for those who prefer lighter tastes. Stir-fried Yellow Beef The beef is tender and carries a nice wok aroma. It goes incredibly well with rice--super satisfying. Spicy Hot Pot (Mao Xue Wang) Packed with real ingredients--not just for show. Every bite is full of substance, and it's very satisfying overall. Charcoal-Grilled Beef Ribs (Highly Recommended!) This turned out to be the biggest surprise of the night. The charcoal aroma is strong, yet the meat is juicy and not dry at all. Every bite is bursting with flavor--we couldn't stop eating and finished the plate in no time. Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cakes (My Fave ) Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside. The portion is bigger than what I've had at other places. Each piece is coated in rich brown sugar syrup--so addictive! I had three pieces all by myself and still wanted more, haha!

Free dessert (grass jelly and aiyu jelly)

Orange Bistro serves a very specific niche, which is providing more upscale dining for Taiwanese immigrants. You don't see too many Taiwanese restaurants these days, and those that exist are typically your bento-style rice set or snack shops. Here they provide a banquet style setting for authentic Taiwanese style dishes (as noted by my dad, a Taiwanese immigrant). Their dishes are quite large portions which caught me by surprise with my initial thought of it being a typical Taiwanese restaurant in the area. For myself I chose the oyster cake. This is probably the most elevated quality of this I tried, having only eaten it in the US. The texture is completely consistent throughout where you don't get any lumpiness from the starch. While I wished there was slightly more egg in the proportioning, I enjoyed the dish, including the sauce which was well balanced. We shared the sesame oil noodle and the century egg and basil stinky tofu. The noodle was very simple with just sesame oil and whatever type of noodle you call it. The flavor was nostalgic and had a very Taiwanese essence. The stinky tofu was interesting, as I've never had fried century egg. It was nicely pleasant with a looser yolk and softer egg white texture somewhat reminding me of egg yolk fried dishes but more subtle and complex. The tofu itself was decent, but my dad wished it was stinkier and I wish it was crunchier. My brother chose the jalapeño lamb (you can pick beef or lamb but we love lamb). I really enjoyed the way they prepared the jalapeños which were mild-medium and sliced thin the way you might see bell peppers in a stir fried dish. The texture was perfect to me with them being slightly crunchy but cooked through. It wasn't too oily overall but being a stir fried meat dish it can come off a bit heavy since the residual oil pools at the bottom. But definitely not as greasy feeling as I've had. They offered a complimentary aiyu jelly and grass jelly mix dessert, which is a combination I've never encountered. It was a nice little treat at the end with acidity from the typical lemon aiyu with some herbal notes from the grass jelly. Overall I think the food quality deserves 5 stars as I would love to come back again to try a lot of their menu items. I appreciate that this restaurant exists to serve this specific niche to have upscale food native Taiwanese people like to eat. While I personally would come rarely because I don't have that much money at the moment (roughly $25-$30 per person for my dad, brother and me), I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to others who love or want to try Taiwanese food beyond your popcorn chicken, Taiwanese sausage, or pork cutlet rice set.

I think this place is just okay. The food is decent but the price point is on the higher side. The place is clean and service is quick though. Free parking on the street or the structured around Main St.

Briased whole fish lunch special $15.99 - GET IT
Truman W.

Great lunch specials - beef spinach in satay sauce, 3 cup chicken, and braised whole fish covered in silken tofu and brown sauce (only $16). Also got oyster omelette and stinky tofu, not stinky at all but crispy and so yum, they should just rename it "fried tofu'.

Fish
Jennifer H.

Great classic Taiwanese food! Restaurant inside was clean and modern looking with a few larger tables with lazy susans along with smaller tables. I would recommend coming with a larger group as the dishes are pretty large. You get complimentary peanuts and sardines fish (?) which was tasty. My favorite dish was the fish that had lots of garlic and seasoning, with a layer of tofu underneath -- so flavorful, just watch out for bones. We also got three cup combo that came with chicken, squid, and we added pigs blood cake -- pretty classic, chicken was a little hard to eat as full of bones but to be expected. Green onion pancake was thin and crispy, tasted good with the sauce from the fish. We ended with taro and grass jelly dessert which was perfectly creamy and not too sweet, just wish it had some sago. Parking is easy on the street or in the free structure behind the store.

Shaved ice dessert
Franklin C.

Really clean place and parking is available in the structure. Entrance is also available in the back so we were greeted by this long scroll of Chinese characters and drawing which is really cool to see. The food was just like how I imagined back in Taiwan: The stinky tofu, the pig ears, the lofa and the piping hot pot. All to die for. We didn't leave one plate empty Except for the shaved ice which we had to take home. We came a little late so it was just my friend and I chowing down the food with the waiter and the owner of the restaurant. We chatted with the owner and just had a blast chatting about the food and delicacies! I will be back! Definitely coming again

oyster pancake

This is the many times that we have been back . Still loving the authentic taste of the taiwanese dishes. It's always fully packed and there is not enough walking areas among the tables, but it's nostalgic for me. MUST try if you love Taiwanese food.

We love the dry pot intestine here! We ate here 2x in one week because it's that good lol, and they're having a 20% discount right now until 7/20.

The food was good and authentic. The service was great. Too bad they did not have the barbecue stews for today. Will come back and try next time.

So sad the one in temple city closed down! However, this one is still open!…read more We enjoyed seafood palace in las tunas and decided to come here to give it a try. First, parking was so difficult!! So many cars crammed close to each other and the restaurant wasn't even full, but we parked in the street nearby. The place had plenty of seating when we arrived, spacious tables that fit our group of 16. We had a large party and split into two tables, each table had peanuts and tea, we also ordered our own bit with the same serve at the same time. We ordered our usual dishes such as corn soup, honey walnut shrimp, salt and pepper squid, sal and pepper pork chops, filet beef dish, hainan chicken and many more. The service seemed slow, the bad part is that our other table got all their dishes while we had none. It took a while before our first dish arrived which was honey walnut shrimp, it was good, a bit soggy but flavorful. We asked for rice and started eating, once most of the shrimp was gone the rest of the dishes came. They were delicious, they tasted great and had good portions. The pork chop was great fresh but soon started to get tough as it cooled. The fried squid had parts that were very seasoned and some bland. My sister in law ordered a seafood tofu dish that was the best one but we ate everything before I took a photo. We also shared dishes across the tables to try out our orders. I tried the fried crab but it had more garlic than crab! The restroom was the sad part, there was no toilet paper, and no paper towels. The women's restroom door was propped wide open as well. I had to call my sister to bring in napkins for me... Overall a great meal, we may come back if the occasion allows.

However, most of the items on the menu were not available.. strange. My aunts friend wanted to take us here specifically for the fried garlic crab. However, personally, I was not a fan because it's just too much work to break down the crab just for a little bit of meat. My favorite that night was probably the fried tofu. They definitely did that very well. We also got a lot of other dishes like the clay pot rice, chicken, clams, seafood crispy noodles, and other foods I can't remember. Overall, just okay for me. I don't think I would necessarily come back.

We came…read morearound 6:30pm on a weekday for dinner and they were pretty busy and parking lot was quite full, but luckily we didn't have to wait for a table and still found parking. They have a lot of tables inside so it is great for small and large groups. The waiters were also fast even though they were busy. We ordered their Kung Pao Chicken, Fried Tofu, Beef Noodle, Shrimp w Walnut, and Vegetable w Garlic. We decided not to get lobster since it was pricey. They took our order pretty fast and gave tea to drink. The pot of white rice is extra $1 if you order though. And their menu book doesn't have prices for some reason. Only the to-go menu has prices. Food was served in a decent amount of time, around 15 minutes. And all dishes arrived close together so we didn't have to wait long. The kung pao chicken is so good! Not spicy at all and very nice and crispy with good seasoning. It tasted delicious with some rice. The beef noodles were also delicious! It had good wok taste and was very flavorful. The tofu and shrimp were also good. None of the dishes were too salty and all were seasoned well and in pretty big portions, though I don't remember the exact price since they took the receipt away when we paid. But the meal was very worth and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. Such a yummy meal! I really enjoyed it! I am definitely coming back again!

My family and I used to religiously eat lobster noodles whenever we made a trip down to SoCal. The pick of the bunch was 100% Newport Seafood- no negotiations, no contemplations. Unfortunately, the last handful of times have left me extremely disappointed and heavily annoyed. The cost and wait times do not reflect what is actually being provided and most of our food ends up being left behind because it simply isn't worth the calories. In all honestly, I've grown a phobia w/ that specific restaurant at this point because of the countless letdowns. My initial taste of Boston Lobster was about 3 years ago and I had the most enjoyable meal. Due to our LA trip coming to an end, my BD thought we should do it big with some lobster noodles- for good old time's sake. I absolutely refused to go anywhere unless we would be giving Boston Lobster a visit! Sure enough, they did not disappoint! Dinner for 3 adults and 1 toddler consisted of: *Boston House Special Lobster [no spice] + Garlic Noodles for an additional fee. Medium Size 5-6lbs minimally. *French Style Beef Cube *Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves We ate like mf'n KINGS!! Each and every dish was spectacular- even the greens! While we should have gone with the small sized lobster, I'm proud to say we went down with an honorable fight. Lmao!! The lobster was cooked to perfection- meat was sweet, succulent, and so darn tender. The garlic noodles soaked up all of the delicious lobster flavors and were not overcooked and mush. The bo luc lac was flavorful, juicy, and complimented the bed of lettuce, onions, & tomatoes so well. The snow pea leaves weren't tough and old- this truly was a simply yet magical dish. Service was on point and the staff continually came by to swap out our plates full of lobster shells. Above all, there was no wait with our initial arrival. Parking is easy given the fact that BL has a pretty big parking lot specifically for them. 5/5 stars!! We dropped over 3 bills here and it didn't even hurt. Lmao- this place is that damn good! Don't sleep on this joint, y'all. Boston Lobster is the real deal when it comes to authentic Chinese/Vietnamese cuisine. This spot should be so much more hyped than it actually is!

We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.
