Absolutely a hidden gem! The decor is minimal and seating is limited, but don't let that deter you -- this place deserves a shot. Papa is kind, generous, and charming and he's running to different parts of the restaurant to make sure everyone's getting taken care of.
While the menu only has a few options, the quality of the food is amazing! My partner and I got the following:
Beef shish kabob (4/5)
Yogurt with shallots (5/5)
Hummus (4/5)
Chicken kabob (5/5)
Our total for the 4 items was around $41, including tax. I definitely want to come back and try the lamb, papa's favorite, and the crispy rice. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience! Meghna was so kind and supportive, even though I was participating via Zoom. She was sure to check in on whether I understood the dance moves, that I was able to keep up, and if I had any questions. It's a great workout while having fun - burned over 200 calories in an hour, according to my Apple Watch. Looking forward to future classes!

Thanks so much, Jackie! So glad you could dance with Meghna via Zoom and that you had so much fun! Hope we catch you in the studio soon!
I was a little surprised to find that MBB decided to open up in a quiet plaza in this part of Tustin, but it was a good surprise since the location is convenient and the parking is plentiful. We went on a weekday evening and was happy to see that there was no wait.
You place your entire order through a QR code on your cell phone and visit the sauce bar. The restaurant is clean and new, and the decoration and ambience makes you feel like you've been transported to Asia.
Overall, I thought it was a good hotpot experience with lots of yummy food and fast service.
Noodle Art is one of my favorite places to visit when I come up to the San Gabriel Valley. My partner's family is from Xian and the quality of the food here meets his discerning tastebuds. If you love vinegary, spicy, and a little oily, then you'll love most of the food here.
My recommendations include:
Cold noodle with chili oil - great starter to share, order this over the fried bean jelly
Hamburger - larger than expected, probably good to share with 2 people, can be filling
Pita bread soaked in lamb soup - not spicy, very comforting, good for a cold day
Dry spicy noodle with pepper oil - large serving, chewy and soft noodles, slightly spicy
Absolutely delicious and a must visit for those wanting to try food from China's Xian region :)
This is a super cute and cozy coffee shop that you can sneak away to when you're in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff are extremely friendly and you can tell they take a lot of pride in where they work and what their coffee/company represents to them. My partner thought his matcha latte was ok and I liked my horchata latte; we appreciated being able to switch out to oat milk.
There's not much seating so it's best to stop by if you're just looking for a cup of coffee to go, or are ok with standing while doing some people watching. I wouldn't mind visiting again and trying out some of their other menu options too.
