Unique dishes with great flavor. ### hacho — 3.3/5 · Jul 2, 2025 Sadly, this location is not up to par with the fountain valley location. Usually love the mango squid salad but it could've used more dressing and the herbs could have been more chopped up! ### viviana — 5.0/5 · Jun 23, 2025 One of my favorite places in OC! We got the shrimp toast (definitely a must), the beef tongue fried rice (amazing), and the egg yolk pasta with crab (on the heavier side). For drinks we both got the sugarcane kumquat which was the perfect palette cleanser. ### lhr2dxb — 5.0/5 · Sep 13, 2025 Delicious drinks in a fun atmosphere! ### jcelvis — 5.0/5 · Jan 4, 2026 Great service ### patpateats — 4.3/5 · Aug 23, 2025 Food was great, place was cute, deff recommend! ### ferica — 5.0/5 · Jan 2, 2026 so delicious ### user_5666ba — 4.3/5 · Oct 15, 2025 Nice place to enjoy a drink, lunch, or dinner. ### sgv_oc_foodie — 5.0/5 · Oct 10, 2025 Nep Cafe is a favorite for a reason. Their happy hour deals are great, and the fried chicken wings are seriously some of the best. The drinks are strong and creative—definitely worth coming back for.
