    Vietnamese Crab Cake Soup
    Angelica H.

    WOW. I am really shocked at how much this place exceeded my expectations for Vietnamese food. specifically their bun rieu!!! I did not expect any Vietnamese restaurant by Seaside/Monterey to serve such a specialty dish, and not only serve it but even make it better than some places in San Jose which is known for Viet food. their portion sizes were very generous for the price. My bun rieu bowl was $14 for a small which was more like a regular size bowl. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving Vietnamese food in the area. Bonus: this restaurant is in the same plaza as Lynn's Arcade which is an amazing local pinball arcade. Very fun for a date idea :)

    Roast pork with noodles

    This review is based on my UberEats order from Orient Restaurant. Speed: Quick. I received the food pretty quickly. The food was packaged well. Value: Poor. Pictured was carry out that was $61. The braised catfish was NOT worth $16. There was only 5 pieces of fish in a half filled container. The Crispy Spicy Beef was over cooked and over seasoned. The roast pork vermicelli noodles were OK. The roast pork was very dry and noodles were cold. I was very unsatisfied with my order. Huge disappointment.

    Excellent service and delicious food. With new ownership, the atmosphere is now more inviting.

    Egg fried rice (delivery)

    I can't believe I hadn't posted a review yet. As you'll see in a few of my reviews, whenever I move to a new area, at the top of my to-do list is to find my new favorite local Asian spot (usually Chinese) and Orient is it! They are a little pricier than I'm used to with much smaller portions than I've experienced in the past, but, it's still totally worth it. The food is cooked to order and always fresh and tasty! You can certainly tell that they are using quality ingredients. Just two days ago I had their wonton soup and it's the best wonton soup I've had to date. Everything tasted soo good. My go-to items on the menu are their bbq pork fried rice, salt n pepper shrimp (shell on) and crispy spicy seafood. I also note that whenever I pick up my food there's usually a few patrons in the dining area diligently working on cleaning their plates.

    Hightly recommend it; the place is spotless and has lots of parking lots. The only place that I find the best dry egg noodle around here. Also the best service

    Small Beef Comb Pho
    Isaak C.

    Came here on my lunch and ordered the Beef Combination Pho and man, I was blasted away with superb flavor. The broth was perfect along with the noodles and meat. They have hoisin sauce, sriracha, chili crisp oil, and this very good green salsa type deal that made the soup absolutely POP. The Fresh Lemonade was really delicious and refreshing. Staff is very nice and bubbly and helpful! 10/10 would Pho again!

    Nice staff and the food was good but the service was a little slow despite not being too crowded. I would go back.

    The place is nice and clean. Thumb up. Food was decent and…read moreservice is fast. It is located right in front of hotel continental.

    i went into this place with really low expectations. like any ethnic food in tourist areas, it's…read moreusually pretty bad. now before i give my review i do know what's up with bow. as a kid my grandmother who was born in china town would buy these from china town all the time and feed them to me as a kid. so i know what's good and bad and what bow should taste like. looking at some of the bad reviews i really don't think these people know what's up or maybe they been eating at Panda Express too much (you know real Chinese food‍‍) anyhow the bad first... it's pricey but this is a tourist area so you shouldn't expect anything less. waiting for it might take some time BUT they are fresh and hot even in China town they are only warm most of the time from sitting around for awhile. so the good... yes it's takes time but what would you expect from something made to order as a bow. i did order the red bean one because i was craving something sweet. now most reading this probably have no idea what red bean is but iykyk!! the bun was super soft and the bean was smooth. also my kid knows this type of bow bread as well and she won't hold back if it is bad. their first impression was "yeah good" so the bun is spot on the way it should taste. you also need to eat bow fresh for the best taste. because the longer you wait the worst it will taste. the bread will get hard fast. saw a lady in these reviews complain about no paper on the bottom of the bow. huh? they put paper on bow only when they are sitting too long... say in a pastry shop or when you order them to-go to bring to friends or family later in the day so it don't stick. they don't need it if you eat it right away. either way i give them a 5 out of 5 for the bow. 2 out of 5 for the price since you can get them in china town for $2 bucks but good luck in finding that around here so a totally fair price so stop bitching. but again very decent bow and would go back again for sure.

    So I was driving down to Monterey from Sacramento for a quick little 36 hour golfing trip.When I…read morearrived in Monterey,I was starving so I quickly jumped on Yelp and found the closest breakfast burrito spot I could find-That's when I found 3 Mundos Sandwich Shop on Fremont Street,which is a sandwich shop that also makes breakfast burritos. When we arrived they had a small parking lot but busy because they do a lot of Door Dash and Uber Eats business. Once inside I took a quick look at the menu and saw they had breakfast burritos of either Chorizo-Sausage-Ham-Bacon or Veggie. I chose Chorizo breakfast burrito($10.39) The shop is run by the owner-he was the cashier and the cook. In talking to him,he was telling me that his family owns multiple Mexican small shops like this in the Juarez Mexico area and El Paso Texas area.Says that all the shops use the same recipe for their hot sauce that is served with the burritos. Once the burrito arrived,it was both heavy and warm.Once I cut it open,I was able to appreciate the craftsmanship of this burrito in all its chorizo,egg,potato and cheese glory-it was beautiful. As pretty as it was though,it tasted even better,I had planned on only eating half of it as I had a tee time in less than an hour but one bite led to another and then it was gone. I've had many breakfast burritos in my day and as unexpected as this is to say,this may have been the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Also the aforementioned family-recipe hot sauce that came with the burrito was so spicy yet so tasty--perfect combo to a perfect burrito. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the Monterey area and you want to treat yourself to some upper echelon breakfast burritos-do yourself a favor and stop at 3 Mundos sandwich shop-a top tier food experience awaits.

    A fantastic option for a Breakfast Burrito or sandwich…read more Greeted by the owner who took the order and made the Burrito, he was friendly and helpful with suggestions, providing fast friendly service . At the time I stopped in, it was very quiet compared to previous trips, with no waiting to order and our pick of seats. I ordered a Ham Breakfast Burrito to try something different and it was fantastic. The tortilla had a nice char on it before being wrapped around the plentiful ham, potatoes, egg and cheese in its swaddling embrace. Each bite was fresh and flavorful, even beforr adding some of the house made salsa, which added an even bigger burst of flavor and some heat. I ate 1/2 on site, and rewrapped the other half and enjoyed that while at the golf course.
