I had been skeptical about this restaurant before because I have never seen it crowded at all during the day. But oh boy, I was wrong. I just went there for dinner on Friday and it was packed. After waiting for about 5-10 minutes, I finally got a table. I had the traditional pad thai and the sweet sticky rice with mango for dessert. Pad thai was a mind blowing dish. The softness of the noodle is just right. The combination of sweet and sour tastes is great but I wish it was a bit more spicy. I love the way they decorate the dishes with colorful veggies. Also those little sugar, salt, pepper bottles are really cute. I wish I could take them home.
The ambience is great. The walls are green and chairs and tables are white, giving very homey feeling. Restroom is clean unlike many other Asian restaurants in the area. The prices range from 6-10 dollars and given what you will get, this place is a ?steal?. Good for lunch and dinner. Great for a couple on a casual date too.
Pros: Pad Thai, Pad Thai and Pad Thai
Cons: A bit crowd for a long line

I've been to Koji's both at The Block and in Hollywood. While I enjoyed the ambience at both places, I liked the layout at The Block better. The servers are very courteous and I never had to wait long for my food to come. My family and I always order the Meat Lovers combination with 3 choices of beef. What I love most about Koji's and why I give it 5 stars is because of the sauce you dip the meat in. It is nothing I have ever tasted before. Very delicious and original.

Yen Ching Restaurant is my FAVORITE place to eat. Fantastic food, great service and nice atmosphere. A pricier restaurant (figure $30-35 without drinks), BUT dinner for two is enough to take home two for lunch the next day! Try the Sizzling Rice Soup, Mushoo (sp?) Pork, and Yen Ching Beef. Can't beat it!

I have been there three times and loved it so much that I took my whole family over there... no doubt, the food is fresh, excellent, the service great... I have tried the sushi bar which I loved and we had a dinner at the tapaniaki table where the chef not only prepared the best food but offered an entertaining moment... you can definitely bring children who will love the owner's attention and kindness... believe it or not, he goes from table to table to check on everyone and never forgets to spoil the kids by giving them presents that he seems to be choosing with care... this is a very very good and enjoyable experience that you will make there... so do not hesitate, you won't regret it!!!
Pros: Best sushis I have had so far
Cons: Can't really think of one!!!

My wife and I have been eating at Green China for a couple of years now and have nothing but great things to say. The restaurant is very clean, the owners are wonderful people who really care, and the food is top of the line. We have eaten a lot of Chinese food over the years, and at this point Green China is our only Chinese restaurant as the quality of the food is so high. As to the service, the servers are great !
Another reason we like the place is because even when it's packed, (and on the weekends it can get busy) it isn't loud. You can easily have a conversation without needing to shout over the din. The decor is pleasing without being overdone, and even the music is pleasant.
As far as pricing they are midrange for local Chinese restaurants, but the food quality is the highest. And if you want a real bargain, come before 3 pm and get the lunch special. This features a great variety of choices and an amazing amount of food for the money. Often when we arrive around 3 we don't need a dinner later!!
As to the one negative review on this site, I believe that was during the time of the previous owners. And I can assure anyone that they will enjoy their food and be well taken care of as long as the current owners are running things.
Definitely 5 stars all the way.

Todai is an all-you-can-eat buffet with excellent customer service, and also has great variety of foods. There is a great selection of hot meals and cold served meals such as sushi. The price is usually affordable and the waiters are very courtious and do not need to be reminded to perform actions. The only real problem I can find about this store is that it is often crowded.
PROS: Great Food, Excellent Customer Service, Good Price
CONS: Crowded

My first visit here, but recommended by friends. My party made reservations for opening time, as the place is busy and we wanted to seat 5 at the sushi bar. The sushi bar only had 3 empty seats by 11:45 on a Thursday morning, which indicates its popularity.
My friends had mentioned that the proprietor, Sam, was proud of his establishment and could be slighted by things we didn't think were consequential, like rubbing splinters off of chop sticks (which is an insult since he provides quality chopsticks) or dipping a lettuce roll which has its own sauce, into soy sauce (which ruins the subtle flavors in the roll). I did the latter on my first roll (which did overpower the taste), but didn't notice any reaction from the proprietor. I didn't ask him which fish was fresh (he takes pride in his business and this could be considered a slight) but asked for a recommendation.
There was a good variety of fish, some that I've never had during my 25 years of sushi dining. This was the first time I've had scallops (nigiri), skipjack (nigiri), or fresh lobster (served in a soy roll). I was impressed by all three of these; the flavors were all very subtle and delicious. In addition, I had salmon skin roll and a (non-fried) shrimp/jalapeno in a lettuce roll- the one I accidentally dipped in soy sauce. Other people in my party had crunchy shrimp roll (tempura shrimp- maki style), unagi, and salmon with green onions (nigiri) - one of our party says it's the best she's ever had.
All of my dishes were excellent. The fish was fresh and delicate. The rice in the nigiri was well packed- I didn't have the problem of the sushi falling apart between the soy sauce and my mouth. The service was very friendly and never rushed- our party of 5 stayed 1.5 - 2 hours.
Overall, this was an experience to savor, which we did. If I didn't live 350 miles away, I'd be a regular.
Excellent job, Sam!
Pros: Food (delicious), service, friendliness of staff
Cons: Very popular

This is one of the better Japanese cuisine places I've been to thus far. Besides rolls, they also offer several combo plates. The salmon combo is thus far my favorite, and the prices are relatively do-able. I don't live in Orange anymore, but whenever I'm in town, I'm sure to stop by and have a meal and pay a visit to the family that owns the business. They're super nice!
