    Steak and chicken family meal.

    Food service and patience. Answered my questions about total meat per order. I ended up getting the family meal. Had finished a gym session and a long walk. Refueling with steak, chicken and veggies. And rice. Music is not overbearing. Comfortable and chill. Thanks to this duo killing it on coordinating together, no fighting just smooth communication back n forth.

    2 Chicken Bowls

    Ubered Meal Review: Ordered 2 chicken bowls, it seemed like one bowl had a little more chicken than the other. Default sauces selected was the waba sauce which should have been the teriyaki sauce, but it didn't come in or on the side. A bit disappointed and there was definitely an overload of rice vs chicken.

    Review 29/365 challenge Came here for the 1st time with my mama friend Sue n kids for lunch after Buena Park mall 3.15.25 Located in a strip of food restaurants., Firehouse Subs What we ordered ~ Rib-Eye Steak plate. Marinated to perfection and oh was delicious. Tender meats. ~ half n half chicken w rib eye steak plate was a great option to have the best proteins in both worlds. The salad w an Asian dressing flavor was delicious along w the wontons Karol associate was really friendly, attentive and helpful. Received our plates in a timely manner. Restaurant is really spacious with lots of seatings indoor and outdoor, seat benches. Clean and welcoming environment. I'd definitely return.

    Chicken bowl? Steak bowl? Can't decide? Get 'um both in a combo bowl. However you take your bowl, you won't go wrong. Not feeling the bowl today? Maybe tacos or a salad will do. You'll still get the delicious ingredients, just in a different presentation. Nice efficient, friendly service. Seating inside and out. Clean and priced right. Easy parking.

    beef Steak Bowl
    Leila A.

    I usually come to this location since it is near my house, but after tonight I won't be returning. I came in at 9:10 pm 50 minutes before closing time, as soon as I walk in immediately told there was no more chicken I settled for a steak bowl asked for veggies again told there was no veggies. When my order was done I asked for Waba sauce I was given packets of "wabablaze" sauce, I asked the worker for the waba sauce in the cup she rudely told me that's spicy waba. I wasn't aware that I had originally asked for "wabablaze" sauce. I also got garlic serrano sauce which is normally cold and in the fridge this one was warm and runny. Asked for jalapeños since i guess after a certain time they're put behind the counter? Very Disappointed when i got home and seen my "beef" bowl if you can even call it that seemed to be missing the beef. I'll drive the extra mile to Flame Broiler down the street before I come to this waba again.

    The pasta was okay, my brother ordered that and I am not a fan. The flavor was extremely light…read more I ordered the ribeye and a side of rice. The rice was only $2 which is rlly nice. the ribeye was ordered medium rare and come out perfectly. While the center of the ribeye was lacking a little flavor and the crust wasnt the best, the cap of the ribeye was cooked beautifully and actually tasted very good. I've had many steaks while dining and this was the first steak to be cooked so evenly, and have flavor without overseasoning. The sleeper item of this whole meal however was the mash potatoes. extremely creamy, smooth, and rich. we also ordered the calamari as an appetizer (pictured not included) and the sauce was good, the calamari itself was okay in terms of taste, but the presentation was unique. it was the first time ive ever had to cut up my own calamari. scissors were given with the dish, and instead of the typical rings, it was more like whole squids fried up.

    We came in a group of 5 ordering several types of pastas and an order of the OC galbi. The Rose…read morepasta was definitely our favorite but the steak is the true star of the show (must try) There isnt really "service" here. Orders are submitted through tablets and delivered via little robots. Personally, I thought the staff could've been a little more attentive. Plenty of spacious seating and I felt very welcome coming in.

    Nova was a pleasant surprise as we had no dinner plans made for our Disneyland vacation…read more Even before checking into our hotel (the Hyatt Regency conveniently located next to Nova), we saw the huge sign on the side of the building advertising their happy hour. We decided to give it a try on our first night. Everything from the staff friendliness to the ambiance to the taste of the food was exceptional! The specialty drinks were delicious, and the happy hour prices were more than reasonable. Everything was so good that we went back for a second happy hour in a row. The second visit was just as enjoyable, so much that we decided to visit on Sunday to check out their all you can eat brunch. The selections were amazing with a few exceptions. Some standouts were the ube pancakes, matcha French toast, Toro tartare toast, and garlic scallop fried rice. Some items on the menu left more to the imagination such as the spicy tuna crispy rice, which had no distinct flavor, and the fried oysters. Outside of those selections, the brunch options were amazing and worth the cost. Shout out to Ryan and Koda for the hospitality, and the bartenders that served us during happy hour. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone visiting Orange County!

    Mary was the absolute best server, so kind, and so attentive. I like to ask my servers for…read morerecommendations and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal! She helped make this a wonderful experience. The decor is also so sexy this place is a great place for a date with your man or your girlfriends. The food was so delicious too. I highly recommend this place for dates or friend dates.
