Ordering is entirely kiosk-based and there's little to no front-of-house presence, so if you're expecting traditional service, this isn't that kind of place. That said, the food is doing a lot of heavy lifting here and it delivers. The garlic noodles with crispy pork were deeply savory and perfectly cooked without being greasy. I also had a Thai tea that was balanced and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Today, on recommendation, I followed it up with their filet mignon noodle dish, which was the standout. Tender steak, rich flavor, and a comforting bowl overall that easily justifies coming back. The space itself is quiet and minimal, almost cold in tone, and feels more like a hidden neighborhood spot than a full-service restaurant. Great for dining solo or when you want a low-key meal with strong flavors. Solid food, clear concept, and a place I'd return to, just with adjusted expectations around service.

Don't hesitate to eat here…read more Great Thai restaurant hidden in a roadside complex where all the businesses look the same. There's even a hidden 7-eleven in there. On my way to my hotel, looking for a dinner spot, the name caught my eye. I decided to double back and was the best decision I had made all day. Single dining room restaurant with friendly polite young staff. One double-sided menu makes it easy for ordering. This evening, I ordered Thai Iced Tea, Massaman short rib curry, and the coconut rabbit dumplings. The coconut rabbit dumplings were over the top good! Uniquely prepared fried dumplings filled with ground seasoned meat and skewered on a tiny wooden pick with cucumber, papaya or mango, pepper relish was amazing. This is reason enough to dine here! The Thai iced tea was perfect. The Massaman curry was done right and with short rib meat was absolutely delicious. I think I would try it with pork next time. But if there is a next time, I probably would try their green curry. It was a tough choice. But I didn't regret my decision. This was my first visit, but not my last.

When we used to live in the Los Alamitos area, The Coconut Rabbit was one of our absolute go-to…read morespots and we ordered from here all the time. There are certain dishes we get every single time because they're just that good. The spicy garlic edamame is always a must. We also love the chicken yellow curry, the wonton soup, and the shrimp pad Thai, which always has the perfect balance of flavor. Another favorite is the blue crab fried rice, which is incredible. We also enjoy the shrimp fried rice, but we usually end up ordering the blue crab fried rice because it's so good. The beef pad see ewe is another dish we come back to again and again. And of course we always order the Thai iced tea, which is absolutely delicious and the perfect pairing with the meal. Before they expanded their sit-down restaurant, we ordered delivery from them all the time, and what really stood out was that their own team delivers the food. It's not a third-party service. They are always so kind, make sure you have everything you need, and the food is always packaged carefully and arrives in great condition. Now that they've expanded and have their sit-down restaurant, we actually drive from North Orange County just to come eat here, which says a lot about how much we love this place. You can truly feel the care and love that goes into the food, and you can taste it too. The service is always warm and welcoming, and it's easy to see why they've become such a local favorite. This place is absolutely all-star and we'll continue coming back again and again

For the omakase we get a choice of three appetizers, two pasta dishes, chefs choice entree, chefs choice risotto, and a choice of dessert for each person.

This visit we went with beef tataki, salmon burrata, deep fried oysters, shrimp tempura salad, eggplant and mushrooms pasta, Uni pasta, scallops risotto, and the prime steak. Each dish is an 8/10 or better. I would gate keep this place if I could, but many who don't know that good Japanese Cuisine is not just limited to sushi.

For starters, we got their Chile-Lime Cauliflower, and it is so good! The chile-lime vinaigrette is really what makes it! I have never enjoyed cauliflower so much! I only wish they would cut the cauliflower into slightly smaller pieces so it's a little easier to eat. But other than that, highly recommend this dish! I wanted something warm and comforting, so I got their Ribeye Pho. It comes in a pretty big bowl with tenderized sliced ribeye steak, noodles, and all of the pho fixings. Will be back to try some of their other Asian fusion dishes!

Came here with the kids for some lunch as my son loves him some kimbap and bulgogi…read more The food was good, a solid base hit - my daughter liked her katsu curry, my son enjoyed the kimbap, and my bulgogi bowl was decent. It's a small shop, not too much seating wise, but we were the only ones there so it worked out fine. The service was fine overall as well - the drink machine was busted, but such is life. I got the kids a canned soda ( Where I have issue is something that's happened to me a few times now as of late, and that's higher prices on my bill than are listed in the menu. My bill total was ~$10 more than I had initially expected, and when I looked at the receipt I realized it was because every item I purchased was anywhere between $0.50 to $1.25 more than it showed on both the outside and inside menu. I can appreciate that costs are going up, but you must update your menu prices accordingly so that we as the customer can make our decisions accordingly. For that they dropped from 4 to 3 stars. Again, this isn't the first place I've had this experience at, and they were marked down accordingly as well. If you can take the time to update the prices in your register you can do the same on your outside board and inside screens.

It was off peak lunch hour where it's sometimes hard to find Asian restaurants that aren't on recess.

The spicy pork bowl and katsu bowl with fried rice gave me enough for 3 other lunch servings. The value and the taste of the food here is unmatched! I can't wait to try their other menu items in the future.

I never looked around to see if there was an ordering area for you to pay with someone. Ambiance: Very quiet. We came on a Sunday afternoon and there was only one group seated inside. It seemed a bit hot in there TBH. This doesn't seem like a sit down area much, seems more like "order and pickup." There were tables inside but each can only sit up to 2 people and then one bigger one by the door which can seat up to 4. There are a lot of outside sitting, which is better. There is much more a breeze outside! Cleanliness: Seemed clean. This place looks like it is fairly new. Food: -Hainan Chicken Rice - $14.50 - Poached chicken, rice, house made sauces, bone broth, pickled vegetables *This was good. I think the portion is just enough. The rice was very flavorful and the chicken was tender* -Sweet Chili Pork Ribs - $9.50 - Pork, spareribs with housemade sweet chili sauce *This was mediocre. The tendon was hard to chew. Normally I love to eat the tensor after devouring the meat, but this was impossible. The meat itself was tender and easy to bite off. I think this was way too sweet and no heat* - Spicy Cucumber Salad - $4.50 *Love this. I think it had a great heat to it and a great crunch!* Drinks: NA We got water. There is a big glass container with iced water to fill up. Cost: I felt like the cost for the Hainan Chicken plate was great. On the other hand, almost $10 for the spareribs seemed a bit pricey... Wait Times: No wait time, it was slow there. Jamba Juice next store had more business than this place! Parking: Tons of parking spaces here. Final Thoughts: This is a decent spot. The Hainan Chicken was great. I think a bit more sauce would have better. The a la cart meat seemed a bit pricey. I think since this place is fairly new, not a lot of people know about this. This is not anything special, but the Hainan chicken tasted very comforting to eat. I would like to try the fried chicken or even the Chinese chicken salad next time.

The food is always fresh, high quality, and so delicious, you can really taste the care that goes into everything. Our go-to order is the pork broth with the flat iron magoji cut marinated (you HAVE to get it marinated, it adds so much flavor to the soup). It is seriously so good, and my son is absolutely obsessed with it. We also love the pickled garlic, it's so yummy and the perfect addition. The service is just as incredible. Catherine is our absolute favorite, she is so attentive, kind, and always makes sure we have everything we need without even having to ask. She truly goes above and beyond and makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. Everyone there is so nice, and the overall vibe is just great. It's become one of our go-to places, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing food and even better service!

I went to this mokkoji location with my wife for Valentine's Day and had a truly awful experience…read more Service was fairly slow and the staff seemed to be unable to keep track of the orders/requests of us and the other guests at the restaurant despite the restaurant not being full and there being 4 servers present. We had to request vegetables several times and we noticed the other customers had to do the same. While we were there one customer who came alone was being very loud, swearing a lot, and generally ruining the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. This customer tried to complain loudly about his life, work, ex-girlfriend, etc. and kept bothering other customers. The staff should have said something or intervened but instead all the staff present decided to leave the main seating area and retreat to the back of the restaurant so they would not have to deal with this customer. This customer was drinking sake, acting erratically and talking to himself and other customers that did not want to interact with him. My wife and I noticed several customers leave the restaurant before finishing their food in order to avoid this uncomfortable situation. These customers came in after us and left sooner with much of their food left untouched. The lack of professionalism and inability of this staff to address this negative situation really ruined our experience and I will NEVER be going to this mokkoji location or any other again. There are many other shabu shabu options around and I would strongly suggest other people to look elsewhere and go to a restaurant where the staff are willing and able to handle a negative situation with a customer. I have worked in restaurants in the past and could not believe that not a single employee said anything to this customer for the entirety of our meal. Very disappointed to say the least.
