    Everything we ordered
    Robert C.

    This was way better than I expected. I was able to get street parking right in front, which was pretty convenient. We got the papaya salad, pho dac biet, and seafood with garlic sauce. We went with the non-spicy papaya salad with shrimp and I liked that it had tomatoes and green beans in there. The pho dac biet was good and the tendon was really soft. The seafood with garlic sauce was really good with a lot of variety of seafood. Clams, mussels, both real crab and imitation crab, fish, shrimp, and squid. Came with rice to soak up that sauce. It was pretty busy on a Friday night, but the service was good and didn't have to wait long to eat.

    We were craving tom yum soup and decided to try a new spot that had great reviews. From the outside it looks small, but once you're inside it's actually pretty nice and comfortable. We went on a Sunday night around 8 pm, and at first the place was completely empty, which kinda scared us because what if food wasn't good. But we knew it close at 9:30, so we assumed maybe that's why it was empty. As we started eating, the place quickly filled up, and after trying the food, it made total sense why. The tom yum soup was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and just what we were craving. The chow mein portion was HUGE and super satisfying. Prices were very reasonable too, about $50 for both plates. And the service was great, everyone was super attentive. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

    Wow, where do I even start? This was the best fall I've ever had in my life. If you haven't came here you better come the best employees super nice. The wings were crazy. Good and they gave me some fire spicy mayo my goodness it was so good definitely coming back maybe every week who knows. The inside is so clean they have a good YouTube playing.

    This place was incredible really worth the stop and everything from what I was seeing come out the kitchen while I was waiting looked fire. I seriously never give a perfect score but this was worth the hype and shout out. My take out met every expectation and more

    Finally had the chance to try this restaurant! It's so cute, small & very modern inside. We stopped by on a Friday evening around 6:30 & were seated right away! Our food came out fast. All the employees are so friendly. We tried the Pad Thai combination which was absolutely delicious & flavorful. Egg rolls were nice and crispy. Pho brisket was so good and it was a big portion! To drink I got Thai tea which was good, nothing crazy but would get again. It is kind of hidden unless you know the area! We will definitely will be returning & if you're planning on going, go! You won't be disappointed.

    Came to have lunch/dinner with my mom that was local. The food is very delicious and large portioned for 2. The ambience is very cute and chill. Music is not too loud and can have normal conversations. The service was excellent, kind customer service and attentive. I definitely recommend and will go back

    Wow they just opened 10 days ago and that's the first word that came to my mind when I tasted their food. This is clearly the definition of a hidden gem! Ambiance - it's a cool dive vibe and the decor is modern and chic . Service - extremely attentive courteous and friendly. They knew what to suggest and also they were on top of all our needs Food- this is where it gets good . The food was amazing I will say that you must come with a healthy appetite and try everything yourself . Please try the crispy crab fried eggroll to start and also the amazing coconut shrimp . Just come in and eat. Welcome to paramount and Downey area . A great addition to the community !

    Service was friendly and fast. We went to this restaurant when it was Velma's and it looks completely different. It's clean and bright with pretty light fixtures. The food was excellent. Everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful. The prices are on the high competitive side BUT the portions are huge. We can eat a lot and we had almost full containers to take home. We can do 3 full meals tomorrow and that's a fantastic deal! We will definitely be back soon.

    If you're thinking about trying Viet Thai Cafe, don't think twice. Just Go! Their food is fresh, flavorful and serving sizes are great! This is one of those while in the wall places you always hear about from your friends or family. My wife and I ordered out and they had our food ready all within 20 minutes. Great Service. We'll definitely be going back soon!

    The bowl was full and still leftovers in the containers.

    This place recently opened up around the corner from me. It's clean and decorated cute. Super nice staff. The food tasted great, big portions and great price. Lots of options to pick from. Had several things and everything was delicious. Lots of parking in front of the restaurant.

    Amazing Viet and thai food place! I got a beef pad thai plate and the portion was GENEROUSSS! Their food is fresh and so flavorful! I've also ordered take out and their food quality and portions don't drop! The owners put a lot of love in this restaurant and you can taste it in their food. I love the vlog YouTube videos they play in the restaurants where the people are in southeastern Asia, making the place so cozy as you eat the asian cuisine. Definitely will be a new to go place on my list!!

    Chicken wings, sticky rice. Chicken pad Thai, white rice.

    Great customer service, delicious food, calm, clean restaurant. Definitely recommend for a date or lunch/dinner with friends, the portions are shareable and tbh it makes the experience so much better when you can try their different dishes!

    This is their beef bahn mi.
    R G.

    This was our 2nd time here and so far we've had beef pho, beef pad see ew, mango sticky rice, orange chicken, beef drunken noodles, beef bahn mi, and shrimp spring rolls. I really don't have any complaints about anything! The portions are huge, enough for at least 3ppl. The staff is also very nice and I kinda like that their TVs play what seems to be a show about different Asian street foods. Only thing I can say is the bahn mi was different than others I've had but still good. And their spicy meter is a little higher than average I'd say But didn't stop us, we just added white rice!

    Food: We came here for afternoon tea, each ordering the tea set, and overall the food really stood…read moreout. The finger foods was Asian‑inspired, with flavors like black sesame, curry, and other creative twists that made each bite feel unique. Every piece was thoughtfully made, rich, and decadent without feeling repetitive, and the presentation was beautiful across the board. It definitely felt like a more elevated, modern take on afternoon tea. The tea itself, however, fell a bit short for me. I ordered a non‑caffeinated chrysanthemum tea, which unfortunately didn't have much depth or flavor. My friend's Darjeeling was better, but still not as rich or complex as I've had elsewhere. Given how strong the Asian inspiration is in the food, it would've been nice to see more thoughtful decaf tea options in that same direction, like decaf sencha, barley tea, or kuromamecha, to better match the concept. Price: The afternoon tea service is prix fixe at around $45 per person, which includes a curated set of savory bites, desserts, and a pot of tea. For the quality and creativity of the food, the price feels pretty reasonable compared to other OC tea services, though the tea itself didn't quite meet the same level as the food. Ambiance: The space is bright, warm, and inviting, with a nice amount of natural sunlight coming in that makes it feel cozy rather than stuffy. There are subtle Asian design elements woven into the décor, giving it a modern, slightly upscale feel without being overly formal. It's a great spot to catch up with friends and linger over tea. Service: Service was good, friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. Even during a busy service, staff remained kind and approachable, which added to the overall relaxed vibe. Parking: Parking can take a bit of effort. Since it's located on a busy street in Orange, you may need to circle around the roundabout or park a little farther away and walk over. Not impossible, but definitely something to plan for, especially on weekends.

    This is a really cute place!…read more Service is wonderful and friendly. Food is flavorful and good proportion. Pricing is comparable for Old Town Orange. The place is clean and has nice decor. Nice ambiance!

The pickled vegetables were a nice accompaniment, to refresh the palate between wings. The Seafood Noodles had a nice flavor to the broth; however, I ordered it with egg noodles, which I would have preferred to be a bit more al dente. Lastly, the Cambo Khrack Iced Coffee was pretty decent--the coffee taste definitely came through and wasn't diluted. Service: No complaints! Immediately attended to, upon walking through the doors. A few waiters constantly checked in on us, and one had an infectious energy. Also, appreciate the accommodation for our vegetarian friend, who had Tofu Fried Rice. Ambiance: Casual, industrial.

It is a beautiful spot to have lunch, dinner or brunch. We have tried all, but we do love their dinner menu the best. Parking can be a pain, but you will be fine. The place is super clean and new looking, although we have been coming for a few years now. The service is great, from the Hostess to the servers, all were on their game as was the kitchen. Our food was perfect and we have zero complaints. You must try Bone Kettle. It is worth it. It is Asian food and boy is it great. It is upscale Asian and you can taste it in every bite. Their Beef Ribs which is a Bone Kettle signature dish- also has fried shallots, scallions. It is so tender and juicy. I am not in love with their Oxtail dumplings, but they were very good and my grandson is in love with them. They are juicy and just so fresh tasting. Their Rendang Carbonara is a must try. It is 24hr braised shredded short ribs, fried shallots, chives, micro cilantro, parmesan cheese, bell peppers, noodles, bacon and poached egg. You can add bone marrow for about 12$. Do that. Finally, and we love all the food, but the Seafood Char Kway Teow is a must if you like fishcakes. It is rice noodles, pork lap cheong, prawns, fishcake, clams, mussels, calamari, bean sprouts, egg, fried shallots, green onions and great chives and chili oil. The oysters in the shell are also great. Have fun.
