"First off, we were seated at what I think was the bar area or near it. Whatever that was, it was very dim and hard to read the menu. There wasn't any direct light over our table. Apparently that section was understaffed, let alone, maybe it was the whole restaurant that was understaffed. Our server kept apologizing for the wait of our food, which took what felt longer than expected, yet our appetizer and beverages did come out promptly. When the food was finally served, the rice was dry, one dish was a little cold, but the biggest problem of all was that two of the dishes ordered wasn't supposed to be spicy, yet, they were. The server apologized for that and had the cooks remake them. One dish came back fixed and the other came back spicy, still. One member of our party had to leave early, so we wanted to box everything and go right when those remade dishes came back and asked if we could just box everything up, and our server told us to wait, that he was helping the bartender and they have 20 tables. We were doing a lot of waiting by that point, so one of us went to the bar to get boxes to wrap our food. Then the server noticed and apologized again and tried to help with the cleanup. At that point we just wanted to go. Personally, because of all what was going down, and the fact that my dish was one of the last to be served, I didn't get much time to enjoy my meal. Can't say if I'd ever return. Understandably, it's the holiday season, but knowing that, a restaurant should have enough staff to cover for business, otherwise don't accommodate for more people than servers can handle."

"This is a review of their ability to handle a large event order. NOT their products. Product tastes great. This was a wedding order...emails leading up to placing the order were friendly but....super slow response times and questions were not fully answered. They also forgot answers we gave to questions they had asked us. They didn't have enough staff for a tasting. Ok.. but not even one free slice of cake to taste? We bought samples anyways and the quality was there even on a random weekday from their case. If I wasnt so dead set at having a cannoli cake and heard good things about this place I would have looked elsewhere regardless.... Then scheduling a delivery was a total mess. First it was they could only deliver 8 am to 12 noon. After begging them they suddenly could deliver 12 to 5pm. Then the cake didn't show up. Nothing showed up. We called. No answer. We emailed as a shot in the dark. They happened to read the email...responded an hour plus later and got the desserts there another 40 min after that. They said it was a new secretary who tagged the order wrong for the next day. My sister in law ran to Tony's before we had heard anything back. They ended up reimbursing us for the stuff we got from Tony's. Only after me asking them to. If we hadn't asked for that they were only offering a 100 dollar VOUCHER. We had a large wedding cake and 2 trays that wouldn't have gotten to the event if we hadn't emailed them the same night...yet at first just a 100 dollar voucher? We lost the floral we had for the cake during the switch and thus il giardino cake looked naked because we werent expecting to need much frosting decor because of the flowers...... they did follow what we were looking for on the design of the cake but with out the flowers it looked wrong. I get it its a small business but from what I know its been around for a long time. Must be because of the pastrys because it's not for the event order coordination or customer service."

"Banh mi in Irvine is a hard find, or am I just not looking in the right places?! I was having some mad cravings for salt and pepper shrimp which snowballed into a full blown need for Vietnamese food. My search literally lead me to shrimp, bun bo hue, banh xeo, and finally to banh mi. And to be honest, I didn't find a single location with all of the above, but Ha Long did check off 3 out of the 4. I've been a serial Postmates user for the past few months, so maybe my options on the app was limited, but what kind of irked me most was just the exorbitant prices of the items. I probably should have just called it in, but I didn't want to leave the house, so I decided to just order the banh mi sandwiches to eat them throughout the week versus ticking off a long list of cravings. I decided to order 2 combo and 2 pork belly. The sandwiches are packed with all the fixings pickled radish/carrots, cilantro and jalapeños. The meats were nicely portioned and packed into the baguette as well, so at $6 $7 a pop didn't seem too bad for Irvine standard. Since I had ordered a few as lunch options during the week at home, they stored well in the fridge. When I wanted to eat them, I just removed the cilantro/jalapeño before popping them into the oven to warm and crisp up for about 5 10 minute at 350 degrees. Quick meal and very filling! My preferred is prob the combo one. The pork belly ended up being a little too greasy, but I'd like to try their other options. Maybe I'll go in for pick up for a change to get my fix for salt and pepper shrimp and bun bo hue, but the cravings have been subdued for now."
