What’s the hype around Irvine’s famous Nep Cafe? 🤔

We ordered almost every recommended dish for a full review ✅ Overall impression: It’s good — worth trying if you're in Irvine — but not a "life-changing must-eat." Here’s the breakdown: 🥬 Crispy Pork Belly Rolls ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wildly underrated! Almost no one talks about this, but it was a delicious surprise 👍🏻 Wrap the crispy pork in lettuce with rice noodles and sauce — the textures and flavors are amazing 😋 🥩 Filet Mignon Teppanyaki ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 Tender steak with sunny-side-up eggs and baguette — feels like a lighter, steak version of shakshuka 🥖 🍝 Salted Egg Yolk Pasta ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our favorite main — add the crab meat 🦀 for extra richness! Creamy sauce coats every strand of pasta — disappeared fast! 🍚 Beef Tongue Fried Rice ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 Called a "must-order" online, but we found it a bit plain — nothing special compared to other dishes. 🍜 Garlic Noodles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Same noodles as the salted egg pasta, but stir-fried style — lighter on sauce and flavor. 🥭 Mango Sticky Rice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Authentic green sticky rice, super sweet mango 🥭, with soft coconut flakes — a no-brainer dessert! 📍 Nep Cafe 10836 Warner Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 #NepCafe #IrvineEats #VietnameseFusion #MustTryIrvine #FoodReview #CrispyPork
