The poached chicken is well cooked with a decent texture as well; having a bite of the soft chicken, delectable and savory sauce, and crispy veggies in one spoonful is an addicting experience.

So much for my excellent review from four years ago…read more Not only did they get my order incorrect, but I was given a credit for the mistake and the tip amount was not reversed based on the incorrect amount so they managed to keep the larger tip and still gave me my food without the requested pico de gallo that I asked for. This was a to go order. I always make a point of leaving a tip, but this is an example had I not left a tip, I would've questioned whether or not they purposely gave me terrible service because I didn't leave a tip. Clearly there is no correlation to being lazy and having poor customer service. I didn't come at a busy time and there wasn't any reason I should've received this kind of service from any Wahoo's. Total let down. The manager who corrected the bill was sitting in the corner eating. I felt like going over there and telling her but I think maybe if they see this want to do something about it, they'll issue me a full credit if they want me to come back. Just to make it clear this was the Irvine Spectrum location and it should not be a reflection on any other Wahoo's.

While it is on the pricier side, the quality of the food and overall experience make it absolutely worth it, especially if you're in the Irvine area. We've been here multiple times, and each visit has been consistently great. During our most recent visit, we had a server named Adam who was incredibly accommodating and attentive. He already knew exactly what we needed, including bringing shareable bowls for our pho without us even having to ask. That level of service really made the experience even more enjoyable.

It's very warm and inviting. The service was attentive when I visited but it wasn't busy. One of the first things I noticed were the quality of the chopsticks. They reminded me of the disposable ones that came in paper packaging but with the paper removed. The wood was chipped in some places and uneven on the others. For a sit down restaurant in Spectrum, I would've expected better quality chopsticks or for them to have reusable ones. I'm a bit mixed on the spring rolls. The sauce is a coconut based sauce which isn't my personal preference but perfectly fine. The crunchy spring roll paper on the inside of the wrap is always a nice touch an appreciate for a variety in texture. However, the one choice they made that I felt like ruined the spring rolls was that they had seasoned shrimp in the spring roll. Usually a spring roll has a pretty clean taste that goes with a dipping sauce. As for the Pho, it was overall fine but nothing special. The texture of the meatballs was a little too fine and blended but that may be another personal preference. I prefer mine with a bit more bite. Overall the place is alright. At a 5, it's not a place I regretted going and still had nice food but a place I wouldn't consider visiting again. The price to quality and quantity ratio isn't there for a place as expensive as this in Spectrum.

Food: The menu offers various bowls,salads, plates, and sides. I decided to order the Pacific bowl with salmon and extra miso mayo. I thought that it tasted very good. The portion of salmon is big, which is nice. However, the amount of rice was not a lot which was dissapointing. Also, the iced black tea tasted okay. Service: The food came out quickly and the employee that helped us at the end was friendly. Ambiance: The decor inside was just okay. It resembled a cafeteria.

The cashier then spoke with the food preparer, and that's when they realized they hadn't even started our order. We didn't receive our food until 11:42 AM. What made this experience especially frustrating was the complete lack of communication. If there were two large orders ahead of us, that should have been clearly communicated at the time of ordering so we could decide whether to stay or not. The manager did not approach us until I went to her directly to express our disappointment. Even then, the response felt more like an excuse than an apology. There was no accountability, no effort to make things right, and no indication that they would handle situations like this differently in the future. This was a really disappointing experience from a restaurant we've enjoyed in the past. A simple acknowledgment and proactive communication would have gone a long way. .

Service is wonderful. This review is for a catering order…read more We ordered 20 butter chicken burritos (and they offered to turn the order into 40 mini burritos. Perfect!). The burritos individually wrapped and were the right size for the parents, though even at mild, the butter chicken was a little spicy to me. I asked about allergens, and the lady let me know that they were going nut free in a week and everything would no longer have nuts. The butter chicken does contain dairy in the form of queso. We also ordered a tray of the corn bhel (this was AMAZING) and mixed salad (in hindsight, probably not the best order for a bunch of four and five year olds). Both are dairy-free and nut-free. The food was delivered promptly to the venue exactly on time. I paid for the order via Zelle when I placed the order.

What did I just eat?…read more I'm genuinely confused after eating at Maast Indian in Irvine, because I don't know how something can look so promising on the outside and taste so disappointing on the inside. I was skeptical walking in, not gonna lie. The place wasn't exactly packed -- maybe three tables had people and there was one person waiting on an order -- but I figured hey, every new spot deserves a fair shot. The interior actually looks really nice. Clean, modern, good layout, good lighting... it feels like a place that should be delivering quality food. Then I ordered the Tandoori Chicken "Panini Sandwich". First of all... $15 for a sandwich like that is wild. And if you're going to charge $15, the food better be memorable in a good way. This was memorable in the worst way. The flavor was just off. The chicken didn't taste like tandoori should. It didn't have that smoky, spiced kick you expect -- it tasted bland and kind of weird, like the seasoning didn't know what it wanted to be. The whole sandwich felt thrown together, and the "panini" part didn't add anything except disappointment. And what really got me was the value. No fries. No chips. Nothing on the side. Just a sandwich. For $15. During lunch hours. That's crazy. For that same price, I can go to Curry Hut, Curry Time, or other grab-and-go Indian spots and get a full combo plate that actually fills you up and tastes like Indian food is supposed to taste. This wasn't even in the same league. This wasn't a "maybe I ordered the wrong thing" situation. This was a "how did this make it onto the menu" situation. I hate leaving negative reviews because I understand how hard it is to run a small business, and I'm not here to tear anyone down. But the food needs a serious reality check. The presentation and the space are great -- but the kitchen needs to match that same standard. If the owner sees this, I'd honestly love to talk. Feel free to reach out. And for anyone reading this: you know I don't throw out 1-star reviews like that. The only reason this isn't a 1 is because I genuinely don't want to hurt a small business. But this experience was not good.

My go to is the 8 chicken tender bucket because it is a great value. For $28, you get 8 tenders, 2 large sides and 6 cornbread. I feel that is generous considering other wing and chicken tender place will charge you more for less. The tenders were also really big size as were the sides. I really like the Cajun fries and their baked beans. The baked beans have a lot of BBQ flavor, they do not taste like the plain out of a can type beans. The food last me several days to eat it all making it a very affordable per-meal value. I've also tried their chicken breast plate ups with mashed potatoes and other sides and everything is good and well-made. I like having these kinds of businesses in and around Irvine. Something unique and different than the ubiquitous boba and other Asian style food spots. I recommend people give this location a try as they have a ton of options on their menu. If you dine in person they give you a complimentary corn bread with your plate up which is a nice personal touch! They should also include this one corn bread with their to go orders. I will continue coming back as long as they have the chicken tenders bucket deal!

The batter was perfect and this honestly beats the typical honey walnut shrimp you get elsewhere. At the end, we had the glutinous rice cake with brown sugar. If you like mochi-style desserts, this will be your new favorite sweet treat. In addition, the service was great and the food came out fast. I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes!
