Royal Thai Orchid Restaurant
1315 N Tustin St B, Orange, CA 92867, United States
On January 22nd 2022 my fiance and I came here for dinner. We were the only customers there to dine in.A woman sat us, and gave us each a menu. She took notice of his service dog (wearing her official collar and service dog tags) as soon as she saw her, she said I dont think dogs are allowed. We informed her that Tika is his trained service dog and that ADA regulations allow for service dogs to be in all California restaurants with their disabled person or trainer.While we looked over the menu there was quite a bit of rather loud conversation going on between the employees. When the woman came back (We thought she was there to take our order) she informed us that no dogs are allowed in the restaurant.A man who didnt identify himself, came from behind her and told us No dogs whatsoever are allowed in the restaurant We explained to him that she is his trained service dog and that it is illegal to refuse service .. He said that his establishment was a private business and that they would not serve us. We were told to leave, We informed him that we will be filing a complaint against his establishment based on ADA regulations.Penal code section 365.5PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT A BUSINESS THAT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR THEIR SERVICE ANIMALS.
Oki Doki Izakaya Tustin
13681 Newport Ave Ste 9, Tustin, CA 92780, United States
Ive had two decent experiences here and, more recently, one very bad experience, maybe my worst one ever. I have detailed it below. Ill average my rating out to 2 stars for all the times Ive been combined.We arrived at 7:30PM on Dec. 26th. They were understaffed and extremely disorganized. We were the last party waiting outside and I asked if we could be seated; we could see three open tables, one cleaned and two uncleaned. The waiter said it would take a few minutes to set up the table and he would seat us. Okay, fine. He places the menus on the table and sets it with napkins and utensils. And then proceeds to forget about us for ten minutes. Were staring at the clean and set table and two dirty tables, just sitting there for 10 minutes. I had to walk back inside for the waiter to remember us. A sign of things to come.They ran out of udon noodles by 7PM and did not inform the patrons waiting outside (like us) until we tried to order those dishes. Udon is half their menu and is used in some of their most popular items. Their spicy beef udon was the reason I was coming back. I realize it was the day after Christmas but it was the restaurants decision to be open that day. They should have done the proper prep work. We were bitterly disappointed but were not dissuaded. We continued to order other items. The ramen is distinctly below average, would not recommend when there are so many good ramen places in Orange County. Grilled squid and side skirt are some of our favorites and, to their credit, were delicious. It would turn out to be the eye of the storm.At this point, the restaurant is maybe at 70% capacity. Certainly not bustling and full as it was before, service couldnt get any worse, right? Challenge accepted by Oki Doki, they would outdo themselves.It took an hour to come out with hot pot which didnt even come out hot, all ingredients and broth were cold. There was raw chicken. Every hot pot Ive ever had at least comes out lukewarm. They didnt even have all the ingredients that was supposed to come with the hot pot, we had to substitute for their missing items. Wow. It came out so late that only one person in our party was left eating.The table next to us didnt even receive their food for an hour. The waiter gave the excuse that the order was inputted into the computer but never sent to the kitchen. Uh, what? Why isnt he checking with the kitchen constantly for his patrons orders? Hes probably serving four tables total at this point in the evening. Severe lack of communication between the floor and the kitchen. To add insult to injury, that table also received their check before they even got their food. Half an hour before closing time. The older female waitress told them Its okay, take your time! Uh, youre asking them to pay before they even have their food? The unprofessionalism was astounding.At the end of our nightmare of an evening, management thought a free dessert would assuage our anger and disappointment. No offer to comp a single item. We had lost our appetite an hour ago and could not stomach even free dessert. We just wanted our check and to be out of there ASAP. That didnt happen since it took them another ten minutes for the check.Almost everything that could have went wrong did go wrong. It makes me very sad to post this because I truly love the food at Oki Doki and would have returned at least monthly for the grilled squid, side skirt, and spicy beef udon alone. This experience will leave a bad taste in all our mouths. This review is more for the eyes of the restaurant than for other customers. I hope they see this and realize their mistakes so they can improve and other patrons will have a better time than we did.
Pei Wei Asian Kitchen
2695 Park Ave, Tustin, CA 92782, United States
This restaurant used to be one of my favorites, however, something changed.Nowadays, the food is drenched in sauces that overpower the noodles, the protein, or the rice. Simply put, the flavors reminded me of a microwave dinner from my college days.RIP Pei Wei - The quest for a replacement to the casual service asian restaurant begins.
Belacan Grill - Malaysian Bistro
17460 17th St, Tustin, CA 92780, United States
One of the best Asian restaurants and the best Indonesian restaurant in Orange County. Stuffs are friendly and professional. The place has awesome interior. My roommate is from SE who confirmed that the food here is pretty authentic.
Thai Chaiyo Tustin
17602 17th St #104, Tustin, CA 92780, United States
Crab cream cheese wontons were mediocre, the sauce they came with had a bit of a strange taste to it compared to the usual sweet and sour dips Ive gotten at other Asian restaurants. There didnt seem to be a lot of crab in it either.Chicken Pad Thai was horribly bland, it didnt taste like it was seasoned. A huge let down.My two item order, with tax and tip, cost about $30, which is overpriced for what I got. Not worth it.
Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ
14181 Newport Ave, Tustin, CA 92780, United States
My boyfriend and I have been to many other Gyu Kaku locations (Cerritos, HB, SD, etc), but this was by far the worse weve been to. Originally went to HB location but they were full, so we called the second nearest close to us and they said there was no wait.We ordered the Ultimate and began ordering. Meats/sides took forever to arrive (I never got my hot water even asking twice), and all the workers there always avoid walking by the tables and seem to be chatting/hiding in the back area. Always had to ask for grill changes, water refills, and if we needed more food because they wont do anything unless I ask. I noticed a few workers look over our table (obviously needing grill changes, no food, etc.) but still would not do anything. Mind you, it was not super busy at all. There was no wait outside.Also was told that they were out of beef tongue (limit one in the Ultimate menu), so why didnt they bother to tell us that when we told them we were going to order the Ultimate menu? To add on top of that, when we wanted to order the dessert on the Ultimate menu, the Manager (assuming he was based on his attire) told us AGAIN that it was ALSO sold out. I was not in the mood to make a scene or argue, so I just looked at my boyfriend like ???? This guy??? lol.I usually leave quite satisfied with Gyu Kaku, but this made me want to never come back. It might be the management, but the staff needs to be retrained or something. Im only giving two stars because I noticed there were two Asian female workers that were attending the neighboring tables with much more positive/helpful energy.I guess we were super unlucky that the manager (and the rest) was in charge of our table. He literally sat us down and never came back. We had to ask another staff for our server so that we can order more (but he never came). I see why theres no wait for this location. The meats were also super marinated and salty than usual. I ended up enjoying the sides (spinach, mushroom) more than the meat. Their egg soup was also super watery. I do not recommend it. It was the saddest egg soup ever.TLDR: super slow service/food to come out, servers just ignore you, servers have an I dont care aura, staff does not bother telling you certain items are sold out of the ayce menu,Do not recommend coming here. Just wait for other locations.
Pick Up Stix Fresh Asian Flavors
13289 Jamboree Rd, Tustin, CA 92782, United States
We don't get food from Pick Up Stix very often and it will be a long time before we do again. I placed an order on the Pick Up Stix Tustin website this morning for delivery at 6:00 this evening. I got a confirmation email soon after. At around 5:30 I got a text saying that my order was being delivered at 6:00. Shortly thereafter I got another text saying that my order was confirmed for 5:45-6:15 and they would let me know when it leaves. Then at 6:00 I get a text saying that my order has been canceled. I called them and sat on hold for 20 minutes just to find out that they couldn't locate my order. They said they would check into it and call me back. I never heard back. No explanation. No apologies. Nothing.
Sutha Thai Kitchen
1161 Irvine Blvd, Tustin, CA 92780, United States
If anyone knows me, they know how much I love Thai food. And if you really know me, you know that the pad see ew is the only thing that hits home for me every time.I wanted to try this restaurant out because it was the closest one near my home that actually looked decent. (We tried Thai spice and that was a huge miss.) I ordered the ever so popular pad see ew with beef along with the Thai fried rice with beef.Pad see ew - definitely full of flavor but a bit too overcooked on the pan. Tastes a little burnt but not to the point where I hate itThai fried rice - definitely delicious but an overwhelming amount of rice in comparison to the meat and vegetable ratio.Overall, I did enjoy it and even though it's a bit of a hole in the wall the food is delicious and the customer service is great. Seriously, I ask them for extra tomatoes on the fried rice and they pack it on like no other! The only reason why I docked one star was because for some reason they mixed up my order once and made my fried rice with lots of mint. The mint was so overpowering that I couldn't even taste anything else in the dish which was a huge turn off.Other than that, this is definitely worth trying out. The prices are fair and the taste is definitely there!
JINYA Ramen Bar - Tustin
1086 Irvine Blvd, Tustin, CA 92780, United States
Truly delicious! We came for the vegan ramen, and it did not disappoint! It all had so much flavor! I had the Flying Vegan Harvest without chili oil, and it was very yummy. I never finish a whole bowl of ramen but I certainly did this time. My boyfriend had the Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen and added Impossible meat to it. I do not do spicy at all, and I even loved his dish. The flavor was amazing but it didnt burn my mouth at all or fill me with regret. We also had the caramelized cauliflower and that was a yummy side. I would love to eat in the restaurant next time since the dishes are so fancy, although I wouldnt choose a busy Friday night. The takeout packaging was cardboard and plastic in a paper bag, and I was very thankful to have zero styrofoam because I wouldnt have eaten here if they used that. Last thing Ill say is weve tried vegan ramen before and its never filling and always bland. This is the first time the flavor was all there and we were left satisfied. Cant wait to go back and hopefully see an even bigger vegan menu next time!
