Xanh – Fountain Valley – 714-531-2030
16161 Brookhurst St, 92708 www.xanhbistro.com
Fancy new artsy Vietnamese restaurant located in the Albertson’s shopping center, next to the Vietnamese Performing Arts Center. Food is presented in artsy, gourmet style and pricey, but tasty. I liked the greens soup with Chicken meatballs. The 5-spice spare ribs weren’t that great. I would come again to try something different but not easy on the wallet. Good place to take Americanos.

Sakura – Huntington Beach – (714) 841-8885, 16871 Beach Blvd
Small, upscale Japanese restaurant serving Shabu Shabu, the boiled pot where you cook raw meat and vegetables at your table like a fondue pot. Run by Vietnamese owners so may not be 100% authentic Japanese.

California Pizza Kitchen – Huntington Beach (714) 372-3157 - www.cpk.com 7851 Edinger Ave
Pizza and Chicken Chopped Salad – All the pizzas here are good, some favorites are the BBQ Chicken or Thai Chicken if you tend to like Asian food. The BBQ Chicken Chopped salad is outstanding. Chicken Tequila Fettuccine was tasty but probably fattening. Shanghai Garlic Noodles terrible – way too salty.

Thanh Restaurant – Irvine - 949-559-7788 – www.thanhrestaurant.com 15315 Culver Drive #140, 92604
Very clean and nicely decorated upscale restaurant befitting of it’s Irvine location.
Com Tam (Gum Tum) – translates to broken rice. A filling meal of rice with delicious grilled meat or seafood, served with pickled vegetables, sometimes with egg-foo-young patty or a fried egg. Drizzle the fish sauce all over and you’ve got a pretty tasty rice dish.
I like the Com Ga (Gum Gaah) – Chicken Rice from the Thanh (Ton) restaurant in Irvine. They put these tasty thin onion ring-like strips over a generous portion of the salad.

Fancy Vietnamese fine dining with some gourmet French-Vietnamese dishes. Pricey and you pay most for the ambiance. Food is good but on par w/cheaper Asian joints.
