First night back in the OC and I received an email showcasing some of Yelp's newest restaurants in the OC. We had errands to run in Costa Mesa so we decided to check out Nai Tong.
Still on soft opening mode so the menu was somewhat limited. The lovely owner Bew is so sweet and we learned that several members of her family has been in the restaurant industry in SoCal for a long time (from San Diego to LA and now OC).
We ordered the following:
* Fish cakes for appetizer, love the sauce that came with it.
* Holy Basil with Crispy Pork Belly. This was full of flavor, and really love the sauce and everything that came with it. Definitely scored high on craveability. The only request I had which I relayed to the owner is - the pork belly was a little on the tough side. I made suggestions for them to try to remedy that.
* Pad Thai with Shrimp was on point. Hubs enjoyed and devoured it in no time.
* Thai Tea and Green Tea were on point as well.
They have desserts coming soon that we cannot wait to try.
I forgot to take pics of the menu so I took screenshots of menu from their website.
Would definitely be back to support Bew at Nai Tong. Go check them out!!! read more
