Truly a gem. Possibly the best Asian fusion food in Orange County. The oysters, kampachi crudo, and Singaporean chili crab were just a few of the many delicious dishes we tried. Will definitely be dining here again. Outdoor seating is a huge plus as well.
I read somes reviews. And want to trying I agreed completely with another review nothing special, pictures only 3 I ordered total 5 items for two persons. The bill $140 had little to go. I did eat before honestly. I mostly concern the softsell crabs where they get it ( in the us don’t have ).
Best Asian fusion restaurant in OC. Enough said. Try the laksa risotto, mushroom and wagyu, seared scallops and octopus appetizer. The sea bass was wonderful but maybe avoid the clams. I actually didn’t think the steak was all that flavorful. I like a more smoky flavor and not every restaurant smokes their meat enough.
Great spot for date night or celebrations. On the pricier side but worth the experience.For food, would recommend Singaporean Soft Shell Crabs (not exactly Singapore chilli crabs but still delicious), Tom Yum Fettuccine, Laksa Risotto, Chilean Bass. For desserts, Sticky Toffee Pudding was my favorite! The 3 sorbet was also good (for those who don't like super sweet).Drinks were all really good.. Really liked Queen Bee and Coco Pandan
From starters to desserts Gem gave me a new experience when it comes to Vietnamese food. Came after the expo with coworkers and we had most of the menu and every fish without exception was fantastic. Favorites were the octopus and the uni. The best entree was the risotto by far. Finished with a few desserts as my favorite was the salted caramel brownie. Highly recommend.
Good food and good service. Friendly staff
Came here for the first time and I must say it was a great experience. Yes the prices are on the higher side but the flavor & quality of the food was on point. The drinks were very strong and well worth it. The bone marrow was amazing!This place is a must try.
If you're looking for a place to overpay for food because they make it look really fancy, then this is the place for you! Really was not impressed - food was good and presentation was great, but every plate was small portions, and the flavors weren't exciting or different or anything that made me think "oh man, this is something I've never tasted before! I have to come here again for this!" For that, I'd say it's not really worth it.The highlight was probably the desserts, but wouldn't recommend going just for that.
Beautiful and delicious foods! Taste the different! Every single dishes we try are bomb ! Highly recommended and will come back!
Nothing in what we ordered we didn't like, everything we oprdered from the cocktails, to appetizer, main dish, and deserts are so delish.
