    Chicken teriyaki with rice and veggies.
    Nicole D.

    This place is a nice quick service spot if you need something fast. There's a little bit of seating inside and a few tables outside as well. It's not my favorite teriyaki spot but in a jam it'll do. We ate here mid day to save $ before heading to Disneyland. They do have decent portions so you'll definitely hit your protein macros for the day! I wish their teriyaki sauce was a little sweeter, it was on the salty side in my opinion. The walls are decorated in cute coloring pages from customers.

    Chicken and beef plate

    Came back and the food was still incredible. Ordered the chicken and beef combo which was delicious. salad with the sweet sauce is great, the portion and value is amazing. Service is also top notch- my favorite protein and rice restaurant in OC

    Amazing food at an amazing price!! $12.99 for a massive plate of steak, rice, cabbage, and very crispy eggrolls Wow this is a gem!! And they were so nice too!!

    Orange chicken
    Kristine K.

    Really good food. I got the number six.. which was a bowl of rice with orange chicken. The chicken was a little on the crunchier side, but I didn't mind that at all. The pricing was reasonable for the area. They had indoor seating, and the staff was so sweet. I'd definitely stop by again.

    Bomb big portion food, with great customer service. Came here looking for a chicken plate and boy did they deliver. They are not skimpy with their meat, and to top it off it taste great. Next time I'm in the area and looking for a bowl, I'll be coming here

    Excellent value.

    Excellent value and great service here at Tikiyaki!! Got myself a chicken and beef plate with only veggies. Comes with an egg roll. 12.99. So much good I think I can get 3 meals out of this. Food quality is great. I wish it had some char flavor like some other places but overall still an excellent product. And excellent value. Next time I do want to try the orange chicken !

    A lot of the reviews boast about the generous portions and good value. I absolutely agree. I also value that they provide the options of having brown rice without upcharging at additional fees. Eating our meal there, you can tell it was very popular with the large amount of pick-up and to-go orders. It's a mom and pop type of establishment where the people working there seem to have a relationship with the regulars and value the ideals of good customer service. Inside it's clean and well organized.

    Piece of metal found in my teriyaki chicken bowl from Tikiyaki
    Tyler D.

    It kills me to have to write this review. I have been going to Tikiyaki for YEARS. Food has always been amazing and the staff are great. They know so many of their customers by name and are always so friendly. Their teriyaki is the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, I ate there this past Friday (12/5/2025) at around 2pm. I ordered a standard teriyaki chicken bowl to go and ate in my truck. I ate probably half the bowl before I noticed a small, sharp piece of metal in my food. It was slightly twisted and thick. I could not straighten it with my hands and it took pliers to straighten (did this to see how strong it was and what type/where it could have came from) it was so sharp that when I picked it out of my food, it cut my hand and I was bleeding. Because of the size of it, I could have easily swallowed it without ever knowing. This is a serious health issue. Due to the fact that I ate half the meal, there was fear that I could have swallowed another piece of the metal that could have been there and I ended up in the emergency room. Because of the size of the metal fragment found, the doctor said a CT scan or X-ray would most likely not find anything that may be inside me. I was told that the next few days were critical and all I could really do was monitor for symptoms. The physician said that if I did end up with symptoms, that it's very dangerous and I would likely end up needing emergency exploratory surgery to find the metal causing damage. He also informed me that this injury as well as the surgery to fix it could cause other long term issues like lack of gastric motility. Because of this, I have no other choice but to write this review, and contact the health department. For anyone eating there, please be safe and keep an eye out for anything that may be in your food. I sincerely hope that this (or worse) does not happen to anyone else.

    Stephanie S.

    The staff is super nice and friendly!! Very patient! The place is clean and pretty roomy for a small store! The food is delicious the bowl is actually a very filling size!!! They offer veggies too and the have a vegan option it's tofu and veggies! The orange chicken is very crispy!!

    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.

The food strikes a great balance between authentic Vietnamese flavors and modern fusion creativity. I ordered the roasted pork dry noodles, and they were outstanding. The noodles were perfectly cooked with a flavorful, aromatic sauce that coated every bite without being greasy. The roasted pork had a beautiful crispy edge while staying incredibly juicy and tender inside. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and the presentation was clean and appetizing. I also had a Vietnamese-style grilled bowl with fresh vegetables and a crispy egg roll. The grilled meat was smoky, well-marinated, and paired perfectly with the crisp cucumbers, pickled carrots, and refreshing greens. The fish sauce dressing tied everything together with the perfect balance of sweet, savory, tangy, and just a hint of spice. The restaurant itself has a modern, welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot for lunch, dinner, or catching up with friends. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out fresh and quickly.

This sauce is my favorite part of the dish. -On a healthier side, we have other chicken options like grilled chicken with kimchi fried rice. The kimchi flavor isn't bold and pungent. This is fine for me though because I like subtle kimchi. Overall service is fast as there are options for self-service or requested service. Water is self refilled which I like because I do drink a lot of water. This is a great spot for workers looking for a quick, affordable, and filling lunch.

Open on holidays like July 4th, like a true Asian restaurant! Got the: 1. Cajun green beans ($14): 9/10, the lemon pepper butter sauce was scrumptious, I even wanted to add rice to it. -1 for green beans that are on the old side and the ends weren't chopped off. The corn nuts on top are meant to give a nice crunch, and while they tried to crush it, it's still too hard for my liking, so we mixed it with the sauce so it could soften up. 2. Seafood soup ($26): 7/10 and not worth the $26, as the swai fish is very little, you get only approx 4 shrimps, and the owner couldn't allow subbing calamari for more shrimp as he explained that the seafood is all pre-portioned out. The soup is very sour like Tom yum but it had too much lemongrass and was too sour for my liking. It came with 3 pieces of cucumber that could rival Ding Tai Fung and spicy sauce that seemed like their rendition of Lao gan ma. The price would've made me -1 but they get a +1 for the cucumber and Lao gan ma type spicy sauce, otherwise it would've been a 6/10 for me. 3. Mushroom & Beef Stir Fry ($23): 9/10, the beef reminds me of shaken beef and the sauce is very flavorful of beef. Love that the rice is delicious chicken rice, it's so addictive! If the mushroom was more umami it would take this up to a 10. 4. Garlic Noodles with Prawn ($22): 10/10, my second favorite on the menu (my fav is still the discontinued mushroom soup) and out of all the garlic noodles I've had, this is the best one. It's garlicky, the noodles are perfect texture, and the shrimp are large and crisp. I've been ordering garlic noodles at every Viet restaurant I've been to and haven't met a better executed one 5. For dessert, pistachio mouse cake ($12): 10/10, never knew pistachio and berries are a good combo but it was so mind blowing! The pistachios had the perfect crunch, and the wild berry sauce helped cut the richness of the cake. I only wish there was 2-3 more pieces of strawberry as it is the perfect accompaniment to cut the richness of the mouse cake. TLDR: summer menu is worth a go (minus the seafood soup) and please bring back the mushroom soup!!
