    the quality of the food was fresh, but the fish to rice ratio was a bit off. There was too much rice on the nigiri. The carrot ginger soup was a nice appetizer, and the black rice used in some of the rolls was an interesting twist. one thing to be aware of...when your server asks what type of wasabi you'd like, the fresh and pickled wasabi both come with an additional charge. Unfortunately, our server never mentioned this. She assumed it was common knowledge, but we ended up being charged $9 for the fresh wasabi and $3 for the pickled wasabi without any warning. at one point, i asked if we could try both types, and she replied, "Of course," which made it seem like it wasn't an issue or an added cost. If we were paying for both, there wouldn't have been any reason to ask for permission in the first place. When we asked if she could let us know next time that wasabi was extra, she simply said that fresh wasabi is "always extra." That may be true, but it's something that should be communicated before ordering rather than assumed. while the ingredients were fresh, I didn't find the food or the experience memorable enough to justify the price. Not authentic either..There are plenty of other sushi spots with better value and a more transparent dining experience, so I probably won't be back.

    The whole family enjoyed Ten for dinner. A combo of sushi rolls and Asian fusion items were part of our order, and nothing disappointed. Service was great too, and we were kn the patio. Inside was busier that night, due to Fifa on the TVs. The Mongolian beef was probably my favorite, eaten with the garlic noodles and cucumber salad. I love a good flavor combo that is also food group balanced. The menu was extensive, and included all variations of sushi. I appreciated the options of Fusion, which had something for everyone.

    Food so good it put the little guy to sleep!  Ask for Sila!
    Eldrick G.

    ​ Possibly the best Asian Fusion restaurant we've experienced! Everything we ordered was amazing and absolutely delicious! The incredible quality of the food is matched by their outstanding service. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the hostess, Makayla. ​A huge shoutout to our server, Sila, who took first-class care of myself, my wife, and our 2-year-old. Even with the crazy crowds and heavy heat from the World Cup final event at Bosscat next door, Sila killed it. Her attentiveness, friendliness, and great menu suggestions were completely on point. She continually checked in on us to make sure we were set the entire time. ​We had a wonderful experience and cannot wait to return!

    Service was great. My dad and I came here for lunch for the first time and I was impressed by the decor as well as the great service at the Bar. My dad enjoyed an IPA and I enjoyed their garlicky pasta. I even took some home and the leftovers were fantastic! My dad really liked their cucumber salad however I wasn't as much of a fan due to the ginger taste. But they were pickled nicely. Their spicy garlic edamame was also perfect. Overall I enjoyed this light lunch and will definitely come back.

    This place is consistently good! Pretty large seating area with indoor and outdoor patio seating. Cool Asian motif. SERVICE: We got here a little early for our reservation, but they got us seated quickly. Very nice server and very attentive. Food came fast! FOOD: We tried the orange chicken and some sushi (El Niño) - Superb!! I would have eaten more sushi but one was enough. This is a must try place if you are in the area!

    Sashimi
    Maddi W.

    Excellent cocktails and excellent sashimi! The bartender was friendly and struck up a great conversation with everyone at the bar. I had a reservation and was seated right away. I ordered the mango hamachi and the yuzu salmon! Both were delicious!

    Dai-ichi roll
    Jae C.

    Nice outdoor seating next to the bar. The waitress was great and helpful. The food was great and delicious. The fish was fresh and the rolls were so good! The food does take a bit longer to come out, maybe because we ordered a lot of foods, but the waitress was good on checking in on us for it. Highly recommend coming, there is a parking structure, don't forget to get your tickets validated.

    CRISPY RICE
    Dharini P.

    This was my first time visiting this place. A friend of mine took me here and I must say the food was amazing. We were vegetarian and the they could pretty much substitute tofu for all meat dishes. We had so many options and the sushi rolls were not just pretty to look at but also amazing tasting. The seating we chose was to be seated outdoors as the weather was perfect and our server Mildred was brilliant. She not only was educated to explain the menu and our options but she was very patient and had a smile on her face all the time. It was a large party and she made sure all our order came on time and came Upto our expectations. I highly recommend this place and Mildred.

    CRISPY RICE
    Erene A.

    Came here because the vibe was giving dim lights, good drinks, flirt across the table -- and it absolutely delivered. We shared the crispy rice, forbidden roll, tuna hand roll, and honey walnut shrimp, and everything was seriously delicious. This is one of those places that looks pretty enough for photos but actually backs it up with flavor. The food hit, the atmosphere was intimate, and it felt like the kind of spot you linger at a little longer than planned. Only tiny note: the tuna hand roll was delicious but smaller than expected -- more "tease" than "main event." Overall? Sexy vibes, great food, perfect for a date night you don't want to end early. Would 100% come back.

    Anna V.

    tbh it was a good vibe in the restaurant and servers were really nice, but man is the food pricey for the mid quality, definitely can get just as good or better quality for much cheaper elsewhere, the spicy tuna crispy rice and this shrimp appetizer was like $40, the rolls and everything were also on the higher end of costs compared to other places overall it was good food but eh on the value

    BG Roll and Seared Salmon Lime Roll

    Nice date night spot in business park area. Food ratings: Firecracker Wontons: 4/5- They add jalapeño to the cream cheese so they taste like jalapeño poppers, pretty good Crispy Rice: 2/5- Rice was not very crispy, and overall did not have much flavor Hamachi Crudo: 1/5- Too much chips for not enough fish, overall bland especially considering the price Mongolian Beef: 5/5- Very flavorful and tender beef, mushrooms and veggies give it nice extra touch Seared Salmon Lime Roll: 2/5- Lime gives a nice touch but overall not much flavor BG Roll: 2/5- Again more of a citrusy role from the lemon, but not much flavor Probably would not come back for the food, but the service was good and atmosphere was lively.

    SPICY DOMO ROLL, SALMON LIME ROLL and EL NINO ROLL
    Hanan R.

    Sushi was soo good!!! We ordered this for delivery and it still tasted very fresh. Edamame was also good, only reason I can't give 5 stars is because my miso soup was about 10% broth and 90% seaweed and I wish it was the opposite

    Chicken Gyoza
    Michael G.

    I'll be real, this spot wasn't in the plans for my girlfriend's birthday but schedules changed and so plans had to chance. Spent a good amount of time browsing Yelp and OpenTable to find a new spot to end the night. Came across TEN on yelp and I'm glad I found this spot. I made a reservation and was a little late due to a previous plan that ended a little later than expected. They sat us right away regardless and the owner greeted us. I asked Brian what his choice of drink is and the crazy thing is I scanned the menu and this drink caught my eye, which he then recommended as his go to, the Yuz it or Lose it. My girlfriend had the Lychee Rose. Started with the Chicken Gyoza and Japanese Nachos for appetizers and ordered the BG roll and Keoni roll. Throughout the night Brian would stop by and made conversation with us a couple times, super attentive and super friendly! At the end of the night Brian brought out a surprise Melted Chocolate Cake with Ice cream and chocolate drizzle & whipped cream on the side, along with what tasted like two shots that tasted like melon? I'm not sure but they were a 5/5! There is a good amount of seating inside and outside. The mix they had playing through the restaurant was absolute fire and it isn't too loud either, you can still hold a conversation without having to raise your voice. They have a parking structure and you'll receive a parking ticket which TEN validates. Yuz it or Lose it: 5/5 A very refreshing and balanced drink. Lychee Rose: 5/5 On the sweeter side but still balanced and the lychee garnish is a nice touch to end the drink Japanese Nachos: 5/5 I literally had to fight the urge to not share these with my girlfriend they're a party in your mouth. (We subbed the spicy tuna for regular tuna) Chicken Gyoza: 5/5 I'm normally a pork gyoza type of person but these were great, nice and juicy and whatever sauce they have at the bottom of the dish was bomb. I literally poured that sauce into my dipping cup instead of the soy sauce that is available BG Roll: 5/5 This roll is tasty and very fresh since there are no cooked items in/on it and the jalapeños on top are a nice touch as well, especially with a little of that sauce from the Chicken Gyoza dish Keoni Roll: 5/5 The eel sauce is a nice touch to this roll along with the jalapeño sauce that they spread on the plate. Shoutout to Brian again! You've earned repeat customers! We will be back

    ALWAYS a great brunch spot!…read more Stopped by today for a mommy meet-up and had a blast catching-up with my gf over good food. I didn't wanna order anything too heavy, but I craving something savory, so I opt'd for the Xoi Man. I loved the combo of sticky rice, quail egg, pâté, pork roll, Chinese sausage, pork floss, and peanuts. It always just hits right and leaves you satisfied. I also ALWAYS have to order the coconut ube coffee. It's to die for! It's the perfect blend of Viet milk coffee with coconut cream, & ube cream. YUMS!!! My friend ordered the Rice Bowl w/ crispy pork belly. I've never personally tried this dish, but it looked deelish w/ the fried egg, pickled vegetables, mango, jasmine rice, and nước chấm (fish sauce). She paired her brunch with the calamansi white peach, which she said was refreshing. James, our server, was friendly & attentive. Nep is always consistent & satisfying. Definitely an RxFoodie recommendation if you're looking for a solid brunch hotspot!

The food was better looking than it tasted. The meat was a little chewy. Service was good. There's plenty of free parking.

    Four of us went to SUP Noodle Bar in Irvine on a Tuesday evening. We arrived at 6:00 p.m. and…read moremanaged to snag the last available table without a wait. Judging by how quickly the place filled up, coming much later would probably have been a different story. The Food Between the four of us, we ordered the Parmesan Fries, two variations of pho, the Filet Mignon Fried Rice, and the Cajun Garlic Noodles. The Parmesan Fries were a very generous portion, exceptionally crispy, beautifully seasoned, and--in terms of flavor--just about perfect. My only complaint was that they were noticeably oily. Other than that, I couldn't find much fault with them. The Filet Mignon Pho was a treat. The beef was exactly as promised: tender and flavorful. What surprised me was the distinct kiss of cinnamon in the broth. Personally, I would have preferred to suspect the cinnamon rather than clearly taste it, but that's entirely a matter of preference. My wife loved every bite. I also managed to steal a taste of the Filet Mignon Fried Rice. While I certainly didn't regret my own order, I immediately knew what I'll be having next time. The filet was wonderfully tender and juicy, and the rice had a beautifully rounded, savory flavor. A real winner. My Cajun Garlic Noodles were excellent. The sauce had just the right consistency--rich and creamy, yet still delicate enough that the garlic and seasoning weren't buried underneath it. It was certainly on the heavier side, but somehow managed not to leave me feeling weighed down afterward. Rich without becoming exhausting is not an easy balance to strike. The Atmosphere SUP has a modern, distinctly Asian noodle-bar feel. Hard surfaces, no carpeting, and very little acoustic dampening mean that, in polite restaurant language, the atmosphere is lively. In less polite restaurant language: it's loud. That didn't bother us, and it actually suited the casual, energetic atmosphere. But I probably wouldn't choose SUP for a quiet, intimate dinner--or for hearing a lengthy story in which every single word matters. The Service This was the standout. We were not the world's easiest table. Between four first-time customers, individual likes and dislikes, questions about the menu, and various dietary requirements, we gave our waiter plenty to work with. Chase was patient throughout. He explained things, repeated things when necessary, answered our questions, and helped guide each of us toward something that suited us. By the end of dinner, all four of us were convinced we'd ordered the right thing. I'm fairly difficult to impress when it comes to restaurant service, but Chase impressed me. This isn't fine dining, nor should it be judged as such. What stood out was something much simpler: at every opportunity, Chase did a little more than was required of him. He was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing, and patient without ever making us feel that we were being difficult. That deserves recognition. The Bottom Line We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and our evening at SUP Noodle Bar. The food was flavorful and well prepared, portions were generous, and the service--particularly from Chase--was exceptional. The only caveat I would mention is the noise level, and that certainly won't stop me from returning. In fact, I already know what I'm ordering next time: That Filet Mignon Fried Rice. --- And Then, Two Days Later... Well, that didn't take long. Two days after writing this review, I was back. My daughter ordered the Filet Mignon Fried Rice I'd been planning to have, so, in the interest of not ordering the same thing, I changed course and ordered the Pho Anthony Bourdain. An instant classic. Absolutely delicious--and now I have a new problem: too many great things to choose from. You won't hear me complain. That's a pretty good problem to have.

The restaurant is large and service is quick so we waited just 5 mins for a table on a Saturday night. It has traditional look inside although the booth seating could use some updating as it seemed to have tape or something. My partner always wanted to try the classic dongpo braised pork belly. They do an individual portion here and I didn't realize it also comes with rice and picked mustard greens. It's the perfect size to try this dish and it's very hearty. It's a bit sweeter tasting here but tender. It comes with a spoon because you should be able to just cut into it with that. I also tried a seasonal item of tofu with crab roe. It was fresher tasting than I had expected. It was lightly seasoned and not too fishy. It had the grittiness of the crab roe and head along with some shrimp I believe. I think I would've liked a bit more flavor. With my leftovers, I added chili crisp to it the next day and it was great. Beef chow fun was amazing. It had the perfect flavor, rice noodles were tender and not all clumped up with some noodles seasoned and other not. It tasted like fresh noodles and had that wonderful wok hei flavor. Definitely a must order. This place is known for the duck but my partner does not enjoy it unfortunately. I will have to try it one day!

First Impressions (5/5) Casual spot that is not super fancy or overly crowded feeling. We were 9th in line and got a table within about 10 to 15 minutes, so they move pretty quickly. What We Got (5/5) * Regular xiao long bao: Really good and flavorful. * Crab xiao long bao: Strong crab flavor and falls apart in your mouth. * Spicy xiao long bao: Good flavor but not very spicy. * Mapo tofu: Not much meat, but the mala flavor is really good, with a nice salty and spicy balance. Came with a good amount of rice. Taste and Quality (5/5) Everything was very tasty. The crab xiao long bao was probably the standout, with a strong crab flavor and soft texture.

The scallion pancake was a little thinner than I'd like, not a ton of scallion flavor. But we especially liked the XLB - juicy and full of meat! The cucumber salad was light and refreshing and the chili sauce wontons were tender and tangy. Great lunch spot - would love to try something from the drink menu the next time I'm back! :)

Definitely a fun spot if you want something a little different!

    I was honestly ready to leave a 1-star review based on how our experience started, but our server…read moreJoseph completely turned things around and bumped this up to 4 stars. We joined the waitlist and were quoted 10-20 minutes. After waiting about 20 minutes, we could see that we were #2 in line, but people kept getting seated ahead of us. I checked with the hostess and was told we would be seated soon, so we waited. More people continued to get seated. When I asked again, the hostess seemed a little flustered, checked the tablet, then pointed to a patio table and said they were setting that one up for us. Another 10-15 minutes passed and we were still waiting. By this point, I was hangry and went back to the host stand. Another host explained that they were seating reservations first, which I understand, but we had also seen multiple names called for people who appeared to have arrived after us. She checked with the original hostess, who then pointed to a completely different table INSIDE and said that was the table they were preparing for us. I pointed out that 15 minutes earlier, she had specifically told us we were waiting for the patio table. After that, they finally got someone to clean the table and seat us. The whole seating process felt disorganized and unnecessarily frustrating, especially because we kept being told we were about to be seated without anything actually happening. BUT THEN... Joseph came to the rescue! He was exactly the server we needed after that experience. Super attentive, genuinely friendly, and just had a great personality and sense of service. He kept our drinks filled, checked on us at the right times without hovering, and completely changed the mood of the meal. The food was great as always. We had the ceviche, which came with a sweet potato garnish that pleasantly surprised us. I got my usual Lomo Saltado and swapped the rice for garlic noodles. So good. Food: 5/5 Table service: 5/5 Host/seating experience: 1/5 Overall, this probably would have been around 3 stars for me, but Joseph absolutely bumped the experience to like 4 stars!

    First time here and everything was delicious…read more I ordered the gnocchi short rib pasta and hubby ordered the miso black cod. Also had the calamari and the truffle bread was amazing ! That's a must. The cocktails were tasty tried the espresso martini and the lychee spritz- both yummy. Definitely will be back !

    Ini Ristorante is honestly one of those places where I can say that every single thing I've ordered…read morehas been absolutely delicious. From the spicy miso carbonara to the squid ink pasta and the braised short rib gnocchi, I've never had a dish here that I didn't enjoy. Everything is flavorful, well prepared, and feels like a lot of thought goes into each dish. The pizzas are also seriously good, especially the truffle and fungi pizza. It has so much flavor and is easily one of my favorites. Even the Caesar salad is delicious, which says a lot because sometimes salads can be an afterthought at restaurants like this. The appetizers are just as good too, the truffle cheese bread and puff bread are both absolutely worth trying. I also really like the overall ambiance. It has that nice fine-casual dining feel where you can dress up a little and have a nice dinner, but it still feels comfortable and welcoming. It can get a little loud at times when it's busy, but honestly, that's really my only minor complaint. Overall, Ini Ristorante is one of those places where I feel confident ordering pretty much anything on the menu because everything I've tried so far has been amazing. I'll definitely keep coming back to try more of their dishes.

    Overall great experience!…read more Food - everything was cooked well. Loved the char on the prawns with our garlic noodles. The bone soup was rich and love that they refill your broth for you! Garlic wings were perfectly crispy. For the calamari ask for the green sauce instead, they were good just really tiny. Lomo saltado was my favorite. The beef was so perfectly cooked and not chewy. Great flavors! Service - our server was so nice! She was great with the kids and also very attentive. Knew exactly when to bring more broth and more lychee lemonade refills. We sat out in the enclosed patio area for first available and it was sooooo hot. Definitely need some sort of air flow in there. Parking - large busy free parking lot

    I am combining my two Yelp accounts, so this review is dated 11/28/2018…read more"My first time here and we decided to get a few things that they are known for. 1. The wings were hot and fresh and very flavorful. 2. The tofu app was interesting with the pork floss on top, but probably won't order that again. 3. The salmon and garlic spaghetti was pretty good. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a crispy skin. The noodles were a little too over cooked for my taste. 4. The star of the show was by far the short rib soup. It was packed with flavor and the meat was fall off the bone tender. In conclusion: I will be visiting this establishment in the near future..."

    Our first try of this restaurant was take-out because we stayed in the hotel next door…read more We found service to be excellent and ambiance was fairly quiet and very clean. We tried the signature garlic noodles, katsu chicken, and kimchi slaw. And a Thai Iced Tea. All were excellent, well-prepared, and speak to a well-organized and high-quality kitchen and a discerning chef. Suggestions: Place an email contact link on your website for more feedback. Respond to every yelp review - even the negatives - and be pleasant and thankful for the feedback even if they are unreasonably negative....this is an opportunity for management to be seen and heard. It gives a positive personality to an otherwise cold and neutral website. Expand on the "about" section of website and make comment on preparation....no seed oils, organic produce whenever possible, sourcing of chicken and pork, etc. People want to see that you're paying attention to healthy preparation and sourcing. Try "Poached Kitchen" across the street...look at their sourcing and labels of condiments. It's a challenge - this location is surrounded with apartments and hotels....you have a large potential audience but do they know you're here? How much would you give in incentives to have them try you once? My reviews on YELP typically draw hundreds of views within 2-3 days. We'll see.

    We used to come to Krave all the time when we lived nearby. Now that we're further out, we don't…read moreget to visit nearly as often, but whenever we're back in the area and get a hankering for it, this is exactly where we stop. The food consistently hits the spot. The Korean Fried Chicken is great, and I like their Kogi fries. My wife always goes for the Japanese katsu or the loco moco, she loves them both. As for the vibe... it's definitely a bit dated. Honestly, it feels like it has stayed exactly the same since the very first time we walked through the doors years ago. You should also be warned that the AC never quite feels like it's "fully on," so it can get a little warm. But looking past the interior, if you are looking for a restaurant with genuinely good Korean fusion food and good service tyou absolutely won't be disappointed if you stop in.
