BUSINESS PERMANENTLY CLOSING 6/28/26…read more Came here with some gals for afternoon tea. It's a cute little restaurant in Old Towne Orange. It's decorated really cute inside and out! Everything was creatively planned and decorated. It was also very clean and spacious inside and out. When you go in, there's a tea sampling station with the menus so you can see which tea you would like to order. Our server was really sweet, but she was the only one serving all of the tables, so she would come by every 10-20 minutes to check on us and some things we asked for didn't make it to the table. If they had more servers, customers would be happy with quicker service. The food and tea were delish! There were 6 of us so we shared a bunch of different teas. I really enjoyed the teas they had. The sweet and savory treats were really yummy! I really enjoyed them. Each person got 5 little savory treats and 4 sweet treats. I kind of wish we got one or two more for $45, but either way they were delicious! We had a great time and were sad to learn that the business will be permanently closing down tomorrow (6/28/26), I would have loved to continue going back!

My wife and I came to Hello Shabu after the lunch rush, at about 2pm. The place was almost empty…read more The tables were all clean and the cold bar was fully stocked. Lunch for two was $71. We were seated immediately and the server took our broth and 2 meat orders. My wife got the beef broth with chuck eye and brisket. I got the exact same thing. You have a variety of cold foods to choose from to add to your hot pot, from seafood to vegetables. Then you can make a dish of dipping sauce from the ingredients at the bar. They have a sign with suggestions for different sauces. There's also a got bar with corn cheese, KFC and bulgogi. These are mediocre. The shabu is good The slices meats are fresh and they come around often to check on you and refill your broth and meat. My wife loved it and we had a great meal.

The host at the front desk (didn't get her name, but she wore a red blazer) was very bubbly and accommodated our seating request.

He knows his stuff and was attentive throughout our meal. Some of our dishes took a long time to come out, but that's expected on a busy Saturday night. I can't complain because everything else hit the mark. Great food. Strong cocktails. Incredible ambiance. But the stellar service will keep us coming back. 10/10. Keep it up, TAO!

If you come for dinner, do yourself a favor and order the Brussels sprouts, they're only available at dinner, and I genuinely get them every single time. They're that good. The noodle soups are always incredible too. The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and no matter how many times I've been, the quality has never changed. That kind of consistency is hard to find and really keeps me coming back. The service is always friendly and the food comes out surprisingly quickly, even when they're busy. I also appreciate that they're a tipless restaurant with a 20% service charge already included. It's nice knowing the staff is taken care of without having to think about calculating a tip at the end.

The steak and eggs, in particular, was extremely salty and ended up being the most difficult dish for our table to enjoy. We were a party of six, and none of us finished our meals because we simply didn't enjoy the food. The gratuity was automatically added to the bill, which was fine, but I wish the quality of the food matched the overall experience. I think this place has potential--if they toned down the salt, especially on the steak and eggs, it could be a much better dining experience.

I ordered their bulgogi bowl although I should've ordered their bánh mì.... I'll be back. Bulgogi bowl was a healthy portion sized bowl. I added the sauces it came with and mixed it all around. It was pretty good, not anything that really made me "omg this is so good" but it was good. Bulgogi portion was skimpy for sure. You'll see in the photo it was more cucumber, pickled radish? And a huge bed of rice. I felt like 50% of the bowl was rice. I ended up leaving a lot of rice. I ordered their Vietnamese coffee which took a while to come out. I'm unsure what the employees were up to but it took a whiiiiiiiile for my coffee. I received my bowl first so I was like hm that's different usually it's the other way around. Beats me, but it's yuuuuummy! Keep u energized x100 hrs frrrrr super good and strong. Don't drink it at 11pm like I did. This is def a "late night hangout spot/munchies" because it gets loud at midnight and so with the people. Ironically I came to study with a friend but that kinda flew out the window due to the noise level in there. There's a single use restroom. Some seating inside and outside. There's outlets inside which is convenient for charging. Parking is within the plaza.

My friend was able to try the food earlier in the week and had recommended it. The food was pretty good and so I came here for my lunch break. I got that garlic noodles and shrimp although not what I had in mind taste of garlic noodles, they were still pretty good. It was easy to order and my food was done fairly quickly, so I was able to have a very tasty meal in a short amount of time. In hindsight I wonder if they had any sort of hot sauce or I wish I had access to hot sauce, but I would've enhanced my food a little bit more to give it a little more kick. It was still great overall Overall, the food is pretty solid and it was a great tasting meal. I don't think I'll be hunting them down but I would get food with them again in the future.

They greeted me quickly and I had my food within 5 minutes....just lovely! If you see this one parked out there, go get ya some garlic noodz (noodles btw)

Family brought me for early Mother's Day Dinner and I had no idea such a place existed here in…read moreOceanside. The unassuming exterior and simple but elegant interior greeted us with low lighting and quiet atmosphere. We sat at a table of 6 and immediately knew we were in for a treat. We all had the 10 course meal and although I can't do justice to describing each item- let's just say every bite is a treat for the tastebuds. You could do substitutions and add ons. I added wagyu for additional 55$ but I'm sure the duck would of been just as good. The pork too surprised me as my family raised pigs as a kid and I don't usually eat but the pork dish- with pigs that were raised with special diet and spa-like treatment/ well... the stories added to the dish. Things like pine were unexpected delights. The drinks were all amazing and we tried mixed drinks, sake, and something I rarely see and is worth noting- great mocktails. The service was outstanding and everyone was friendly, polite, knew their job, and quietly was there between each course with fresh silverware. All was completed with a sense of effortlessness. My daughter mentioned to her dad she was waiting on a drink and the manager heard and without hesitation said it was on the way/ and on the house. We chuckled as the bill of course was more than we had ever spent on a single meal, but enjoyed every minute. What struck me about ambiance is we felt as if we were the only ones there although I saw several tables on other side of restaurant. In addition although 6 of us in a circle - we were able to converse with each other with ease. Come with an open mind and be prepared for the best meal you may ever have. Pricey but worth it if you want to create a memory sure to please.

3.5 stars We came here because they're closing at the end of…read morethe month. So, Yes it was a bit pricy but i wanted to try it before it closed. Made reservations online for the tasting menu $225. The place is in the middle of nowhere, from the outside you'd never guess it was fine dining. We started off with a trio of little bites, a tile fish gungakn roll, fried mochi threads, and an acorn cracker filled with camembert cheese. The raw tile fish gunkan was ok, the mochi threads were nice and crunchy, the camembert cheese was too pungent for me. Hamachi/Raspberry - slices of Yellow tail and raspberry in a ponzu sauce. The ponzu stood out most and gave it a salty profile i couldn't really distinguish between the hamachi and the raspberry as the textures were similar. Artichoke Kohlrabi gyoza with a bri sauce. This dish was very good though i thought it was more like ravioli than gyoza. It even looked like ravioli. I think they just called it gyoza to make it fit the Japanese theme. Shrimp tempura was delicious! it was lightly battered and fried and put in a shallow bowl of shrimp broth. They said it came with dynamite sauce but i think it was just kewpie mayo. Very good and one of my favorites of the evening. Chicken wing stuffed with scallop, part of the wing was deboned and stuffed with a Hokkaido scallop. It was very tasty, the scallop was very sweet and tender. I wish the skin of the chicken wing was crispier. It was quite charred but did not crack when bitten into it and a little rubbery. Tile fish had a very crispy skin and came with a beautiful sauce of i think apples and apricots and a walnut butter. I really liked the sauce that was spooned on the plate. another one of my favorites of the evening. Duck done 2 ways; roasted and a fried tsukune meatball. They both came in a light carrot sauce. The fat on the roasted piece was nicely rendered and the duck meat very tender. The tsukune was nicely fried and crispy and still rare inside. The palate cleanser was a pine ice cream with Aloe Jelly, The pine ice cream was quite refreshing and smooth i thought the aloe jelly was a bit strong tasting. I think flavor came from the geranium but something had a strong taste to it. The dessert was also one of my favorites White chocolate with hokkaido milk powder on top of miso ice cream and slices of tangerine. It was supposed to be reminiscent of a creamsicle. The Hokkaido milk power was magic on the shards of white chocolate, the miso ice cream was very smooth and dense and when eaten together with the pieces of manderin orange did remind me of a creamsicle. They gave us a trio of finishing dishes a trio of bites; Castella cake, Kokuto jelly and raspberry mochi. The castella cake didn't really stand out, it wasn't the sweet dense cake that im used to. The kokuto jelly had that deep brown sugar taste but was too stiff in my opinion. The raspberry mochi had a strong raspberry flavor which i loved and had a good chew to it. Service was exceptional, water was filled many times almost every time the water glass went down 1/4 it was filled to the top. Each course was preceded with the proper utensiles and were cleared after each dish. i must have had at least 4 forks and 4 spoons. Definilty 5 star (Michilin style) service. Food was very good maybe 4 stars. Value was ok maybe 3 stars. If you divided the courses by the price it came to $25 per course. If you looked at the ala cart menu, many of the items were there and could be had for less than $25, of course not all the dishes on the tasting menu were available ala cart. But i feel if you sat at the bar and ordered a cocktail and maybe 5-6 dishes you't still pay a hefty price but it would be much less than $225. I feel like thats the way to go instead of the tasting menu. Come here if you want exceptional service.
