佰禾私廚 Pakwos Kitchen — Restaurant in Santa Ana

It’s my first time trying this place. I have been looking for this type of food for a long time. They serve a very good, authentic, high quality cantonese food. The menu is very creative and unique. I ordered with Silvia’s help and recommendations: Buddha over the wall: fresh, high quality, the sauce is delicate for you to tatste the quality of all the ingredients. Fried swab: rich flavor, the skin is super crunchy outside, flavorful and juicy inside. Cuttlefish pot: cuttlefish is crunchy, sweet, full flavor, not too much oil, very fresh. Fried eggplants with fermented fish: this is a very authentic dish, and not for everyone. If you can appreciate the unique taste and smell of fermented fish, you should try this. This is full flavor, goes well with rice, very creative. Tomato beef soup: clean broth, delicate, very healthy, high quality, very well balance with my other dishes.

Overall, this is such a unique dining experience. The service is great, the food come out in a well time manner. I would definitely come back to check out...

Eating here is kind of a unique experience. When we made reservations they asked us to order the food in advance. We ordered the coconut chicken hot pot (椰子鸡锅 ), and braised beef daikon. The 椰子鸡锅 dish was interesting as it had coconut water, coconut meat strips, jujubes, and chicken on the bone we had to cook. They also were very particular where they told us to eat the chicken and broth first, then add the lettuce and cabbage.

The braised beef daikon dish was also quite delicious. Looking at the clientele around, it seems like the go to Cantonese style food...
