Top Asian Restaurant in Placentia
Ise Sushi Japanese Restaurant
1241 E Yorba Linda Blvd, Placentia, CA 92870, United States
If I could leave a 0 star review I would. After paying a split bill with my friend, the waiter stopped us from leaving for not leaving a tip or a good enough tip. For 10 minutes we were held up at the door while the rude waiter harassed and lectured us about how we should leave a tip. The waiter said that we should not go out to eat if we could not afford to leave a tip, because it wasnt enough to just pay the bill. We always come here and always leave a tip but the one time we didnt the waiter gave us a disgusting attitude about it. The negligent owner stood there and did nothing. He lied about not being able to speak English when he clearly did. Even though in fact we did leave a small tip, the waiter obnoxiously voiced his displeasure with the amount that was left. The waiter clearly saw that the restaurant was empty and that we were two young girls he could take advantage of and harass for more money, as he clearly did not make enough tips that day. He also had the audacity to ask me not to come back again because I did not tip, as if I would ever return after the disgusting and rude treatment by the owner and his staff.NEVER coming here again. And you should only come here if u want someone to harass u about tips and tell you how to spend your money. Also beware of rude waiters who will harass young girls for money!
Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors
187 Yorba Linda Blvd, Placentia, CA 92870, United States
Food is ready on time and the portion is good. My total came in at about $12 so can’t complain much for this value. The store looked clean but nobody was sitting there. Probably it’s bc it’s a better takeout spot, which I did for my first order there. There’s a Chinese restaurant nearby that’s more for a sitting down occasion, but this place has the better price, considering some of the similar offering. Nonetheless, it’s a decent place and an alternative for a quick asian pick-up meals
Pho Noodle House
646 N Rose Dr, Placentia, CA 92870, United States
This is my familys go-to spot for amazing food, service, and atmosphere to be able to sit and talk and eat together. We like it so much that we bring our co-workers and visiting family/friends and theyve come here to eat whenever theyre in the area as well.My usual dish is the Pho Tai and eggrolls, and I could eat it here every day. I usually gauge a Pho place by their basic Pho and broth, and this is one of the best! The portions are generous and the service is un-matched. The broth tastes so good and there is a lot of meat and substance. When my family first started coming here, Id only come with them maybe once a year since I lived abroad, but Nathan, the owner, remembered my name each time. His kindness and intellect is amazing. I now live in the area and though we do go over to Little Saigon area for other Vietnamese food, coming to Nathans restaurant is my favorite for Pho. Im pretty picky with my Pho, and its pretty amazing that my favorite Pho place is NOT in Little Saigon...its right here in Placentia!As far as service...I dont think youll find amazing service like this in any other restaurant big or small. Even during rush hour everyone is well attended to. Nathan the owner comes out to serve and greet and he really makes you feel like VIP every. single. time. We as customers totally take it for granted. I dont know how he does it but him and his staff/management are top notch.
Fish In A Bottle Sushi & Grill
1205 E Imperial Hwy, Placentia, CA 92870, United States
One of those rare moments when I visit OC. I went to see one of my best friends! I remember this place back when I was in high school.The restaurant is on the smaller side but with the patio included it isnt so small. Something about the decor and the lighting makes the place feel so cozy and warm. (Although it was.....FREEZING yesterday) While me and my friend wait for our friend to end her shift we decided to grab something small to eat so we wouldnt just be...sitting there hahaawe ordered the truffle butter edamame.OH YES. TRUFFLE BUTTER... BUTTER haha It was very savory and you can definitely taste the buttery truffle but ...once you pass the shell and get to the actual beans the taste on the outer cover doesnt get to the beans so youre just left there hanging with no taste but the bland edamame. Yes, of course the edamame itself is very delicious but we ordered the truffle butter ...because we wanted the full blast of truffle butter. We asked for some salt....and did our own little work but the more you eat it you get used to the taste even without the salt/ soy sauce.We then ordered the sashimi platter.. (light snack...haha) They give you a choice of california roll or spicy tuna roll. It comes with tuna, salmon, yellowtail and white fish sashimi with a side of soup or salad.The salad dressing was delicious!The salmon and yellowtail tasted very fresh and buttery. Especially the cut of the yellowtail was more towards the belly part. (which usually has a shimmery white color.) But...the tuna... was okay. I LOVE tuna but their tuna was fine. It wasnt anything to go crazy over but it wasnt bad. For a sushi restaurant in OC this place had many interesting option on their menu. I wish we were there to eat but we wanted to snack on something and go eat together with a friend.Id recommend this place if youre in the area!
Flame Broiler
2001A E Orangethorpe Ave, Placentia, CA 92870, United States
Terrible customer service, I ordered a Works Bowl at this location at 2:30 PM today. I specifically asked for no onions, the middle aged female cashier could barely speak English and misinterpreted my order as double onions. When recieved my order I alerted her of the problem since I have an onion allergy and took it back to the chef who could also barely speak English. He proceeded to pick off all the onions and douse the bowl with magic sauce as if nothing had happened. Again I reiterated to them that I cannot eat anything that has onions or onion oils. The poor English speaking women said its good as if I had not watched the chef. I am in a rush, and for that reason I proceeded out the door, wasting my money on an incorrect order that rendered it inedible to me. Im extremely upset and will no longer be visiting your locations if this is the type of service I should expect! I tried contacting corporate and they were completely useless as well, apparently they cannot do anything since they are individually owned. This is absolutely wrong and because of it, I will no longer visit any Flame Broiler locations period.
WaBa Grill
720 N Rose Dr, Placentia, CA 92870, United States
Will not be going back. Ordered chicken and beef plate as well as the Salmon bowl. All the rice was crunchy and hard. My chicken had not just one but quite a few hairs in it. When I looked in the kitchen, the cooks were not properly robed for the job. (No hair nets,hats etc.) The beef tastes like they got a bag of beef jerky from Ralphs and warmed it up in their Saba sauce. The Saba sauce is just a VERY salty- sweet syrup. They have Pepsi products here. (I personally dont like Pepsi but its not a 1 star rating thing) The salmon came out and had the texture of chicken. Overcooked and swimming in Waba sauce. All we tasted was salt. Be aware of this establishment. I will not be going back and WOULD NOT recommend to my friends. Hope they can fix their problems sooner than later.
Flame Broiler
1153 E Imperial Hwy, Placentia, CA 92870, United States
I thought that I would try something new, so I went to Flame Broiler ? after seeing the 4.1 rating online. I ordered a chicken bowl ? with rice and vegetables; the portions were small for the price, but it tasted pretty good. I thought it was good until.....2 minutes after finishing my meal I had a taste in my mouth that was a little fishy. Chicken is not supposed to taste like fish, so I had a breath mint and thought good thing I have a strong stomach,.... Nope! Half an hour later I had an immediate and urgent need to rush to the bathroom. My body usually doesnt act like this, but my body wanted to get that food out of me as fast as possible. I rushed to a toilet and before my butt touched the seat the Chicken Bowl from Flamer Broiler came flying out. It came out with such force I was surprised I didnt break the toilet. My body did not want any Flame Broiler left in me, so here I am typing out this entire review while Im still sitting on the toilet peeing Flame Broiler out of my butt. This is Not what I paid for and this is Not what I expected. I dont think I will ever go back there again, unless I want to flush out my colon really fast. Now my toilet is Not happy with me. Thanks Flame Broiler, I feel ten pounds lighter. ??
Yasai Japanese Grill
139 Yorba Linda Blvd, Placentia, CA 92870, United States
What a brilliant concept. Japanese nuanced vegan dishes. Everything we had was super yummy. The sauces are perfectly matched. The eggplant no-tuna bites were amazing. The karaage (no-chicken nuggets) were very good and recommended (especially for regular chicken eaters) and touted as a favorite, but I invite you to go beyond the favorites as everything we had was extremely well done. The Kings and Queens with pickled onions on top were solid. But the Futomaki was exquisite with thte pickled beet wrap and the sauce. The classic ramen with spicy sauce was reported as fabulous if you can handle heat. Members of our party also had the pretzle sliders with impossible meat. And it was so good including the gyoza. Enjoy.

Food was great. Typical pricing for individual hot pot. Servers were very nice. Glad a good new Asian restaurant has opened up in Placentia!
Pho Amie
737 N Placentia Ave, Fullerton, CA 92831, United States
This place is 10/10, a must try in the Fullerton-Brea area!!May be some of the best pho in Orange County.Atmosphere: this place is very clean, adorable and modern. As other reviewers said, the music is very nice; they play guitar covers of modern pop songs. It is definitely a hole in the wall (the kind where you discover before it becomes famous).Service: Our waiter (Calvin) was very friendly and knew the answers to our questions right away. He even offered recommendations when he saw my partner debating. We decided to share the house pho and special vermicelli and our waiter brought out extra dishes so we could share easier.Food: we ordered 3 dishes (fresh rolls aka pork spring rolls, house pho, and special vermicelli). The fresh rolls were quite tasty, but I would have preferred a bit more vermicelli noodles to balance out the leafy greens.We requested the shrimp be removed from the vermicelli and they adjusted to give us more egg roll and pork. The perfectly crispy egg rolls were super tasty and slightly different from the typical egg roll... they also serve their fish sauce different (its less fishy and more spice/garlicky). The meat was very thin and tinder with a good amount of smoky char. The vermicelli was also perfectly cooked.The pho was the star of the show. The broth was so satisfying. They had just the right amount of saltiness and the meat and noodles were perfectly cooked.We also ordered a Thai tea. It was much bigger than expected. Theirs is on the sweeter side, but not as sweet as many boba places. The sweetness matches very well with the saltiness of the pho.Recently, I took my family here from NorCal. They absolutely loved it and even ordered food for the next day!
