"I am marking down 2 stars as their prices do not match the menu. Side of carne asada for build your own stacker is $5.99 on menu, but charged $6.99, side of avocado $1.99, but server said it was $3.99. Then on receipt stacker showed $18.98, but menu $17.99. When I asked server said it included tax, yet tax was also charged at the bottom of the receipt, plus a 4% noon cash fee. Normally I probably wouldn't have noticed, but since what I originally ordered was $6.99+$5.99+$1.99 for a build your own stacker, I was shocked at the $18.98+$6.99 on my receipt.The server was nice, but she and I apparently were not on the same page with ordering. I asked for a build your own stacker with carne asada, sour cream, avocado, and sliced jalapenos. Somehow she thought I wanted the chicken enchilada stacker with chilaquiles. Because we've never been here, I had no clue what it looked like. When the food came I didn't see the carne asada in it nor the jalapenos. I asked the server if this was the carne asada and she said no, but would bring it. Because the meat had been left off, that made me look at the bill. I also asked why there was a side of chili's when I asked for sliced jalapenos, so she said she would remove them and took the plate.What I did eat was mainly chips and sauce with a side of asada and it tasted ok.My husband ordered a Verde Chicken Enchilada, which was good, but he was still hungry after eating. Seated near the server area, the way they stacked clean dishes was pretty loud and he told me it hurt his ears.Music was good, restaurant has plenty of seating and was clean.The server, Maria, was nice and apologetic for the miscommunication. I was expecting to pay $15.99 or so for my meal, but couldn't just pay $18.98+$6.99. I asked to speak to a manager, but the manager was on a phone call meeting with the owners. Maria just took off the $6.99 and I sucked up the rest.We were really looking forward to this place, but probably won't return. If we do, it will probably be at a different location, as I don't think they should be charging more than what is listed on the menu."

"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."
