194 EATERY

I had the bugolgi rice bowl and it was so delicious. I love all the veggies they add to it. Portions are good too which is nice. Way better than waba grill or other similar places. Definitely worth coming back. I will be trying more items on the menu!

We LOVED their fried rice it was so good! Solid amount of chicken in it too. We ordered the chicken garlic noodles as well that was also tasty. The woman who took our order was so sweet she brought out all of our items to us very gingerly and also put a nice big bottle of siracha out. We wished we lived closer so we could come more often!

The workers here are dishonest and would not allow me to order any food. Claimed I could order drinks but not any food past 8:45 I arrived here at 8:42pm. The store closes clearly at 9pm so why I was denied the right to order I have no idea & definitely won’t be coming back. Or referring anyone here! When I arrived they were looking at me like they were conjuring up a lie not to serve me . I get it you wanna leave at 9pm but I wanna eat! opening and closing times should be more COMMUNICATED. Workers seemed very lazy.

So greater with so much care and respect! I love the atmosphere here it so great. Customer service was truly phenomenal. My girl and I got noddles and rice with orange chicken and spicy chicken, talk about fresh! Everything was really well cooked, steaming fresh rice, chicken hot and ready . Thank you very much for everything here.

$17 for Garlic Noodles with chicken! Garlic Noodles were fine but after four pieces of chk and finally one with a portion of fat, I only ate the noodles. $17 for a moderate noodle only experience to me is pretty 3 star. =(

We decided to try take out from here for dinner tonight. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back. My husband and I both wanted garlic noodles and they were really good. He got them with shrimp and it was nice to see they had a lot of options: beef, chicken, veggies, tofu or plain. The portions were great too! The bulgogi fries were bomb too. Cheesy and flavorful with really nice grilled onions mixed in. I would definitely get these again. I was also impressed to see their big selection of boba teas and smoothies. I will definitely have to try those next time. A few year back this used to be the best little breakfast and lunch spot (Amy’s Cafe) and I was so sad when it closed. It’s nice to see that another good place is in there now at least.

The food for take out was absolutely delicious Not salty but not bland we had the fries u can taste the fire and the teriyaki... the shrimp garlic noddles were ok... the wagu garlic noddles was absolutely tender good... the orange chicken I wish was served alone but it was great along with fried rice!!!

So glad we randomly found this place when searching for lunch in Buena Park area. We got their Spicy Chicken Garlic Noodles & Kimchi Fried Rice. Both were delicious! Kimchi Rice wasn’t spicy, had a nice zest and was a good portion size. However, be careful if you’re a vegetarian! It came with some meat(spam and pork). Garlic noodles weren’t overpowering and cooked to perfection!

Friendly Service - Cashier and Owner were very friendly Good Food - Food was delicious Good Value - You get a lot of food Apparently this place has been around for several years and we are now just discovering it. I work down the street from this place, but it never showed up on Yelp for me, so hopefully this post gets more attention. Lots of options for vegetarians and some for gluten-free eaters too. My friend ordered an orange chicken bowl, which looked really good. I asked for the same thing, but to substitute it with Tofu. It wasn't on the menu, but they honored my request. It was really good! It's hard to find a lot of good Tofu dishes, so if you are Tofu eater like myself, then you should give this place a try.

I adore this small mom and pop shop! The orange Chicken is surprisingly one of the best I've ever had. Something about their batter is on point. Crispy and doesn't get soggy with the sauce. Garlic noodles are delicious too. I wasn't a fan of the pad see ew. Decent boba and to top it off, super friendly service.

The food at this small little restaurant was delicious! I had garlic noodles with beef filet. The noodles were slightly chewy and slightly garlicky. The beef filet was so tender! Others in our party got fried rice with bulgogi beef and fried rice with beef filet. You can't go wrong with the garlic noodles or fried rice. I will say, however, if choosing between bulgogi beef and filet, I think the filet is the way to go! They also offer boba drinks. Service was friendly. Clean and well kept. Inside seating is limited.

Nice little mom and pop boba shop that offers great food! I ordered the orange chicken with garlic noodles. My vegan friend wanted to try the orange chicken sauce on top of the tofu, and the owner was more than happy to accomodate his request. He actually chatted with us for a while and told us about the history of the restaurant, which opened during the height of Covid. I will be back!

I got the garlic noodles with sliced beef. It was good! It's a little on the greasy side cause of the beef but still good! The service was very good, very nice and friendly. Would recommend for garlic noodle lovers!

What a gem! We found 194 Eatery through the Yelps when we needed a bite to eat before a matinee show at the La Mirada Performing Arts Center, and what a find it was! Now, it's tradition to stop by whenever we have a show in the area. We've had the beef bulgogi, pad see ew, garlic noodles with shrimp, and orange chicken. The food here is surprisingly solid! For a small store that serves food in plastic to-go containers, the flavours are pretty good! We haven't tried their drinks yet, though. Staff is super friendly, and the owners are cute. We love supporting small, family, and local businesses, and this place checks all the boxes! It's run by a couple, and the husband is the chef. We couldn't figure out why it was called 194 Eatery, but after some conversation with the nice lady, we learned that this number was chosen because it was her husband's weight. That's a fun fact if I've ever heard one! 194 Eatery is located in a small shopping area with a small parking lot. There are a few seats inside, and we've only seen it fill up once. Great prices for decent portions!

Found this place, not usually in the area. Good food kinda like having a little home kitchen cooking for you. Would recommend the orange chicken- crispy and tasty. They have boba drinks also. Nice friendly cashier. Will go back

Tasty food! We ordered the beef garlic noodles, shrimp bowl, and beef bowl. They have a pretty decent selection of bobas. All of our food came out good. Drinks were yummy. We'd come back again. Oh and we loved the popcorn chicken! Service was great, they were friendly.

Came back here again this week for a quick pick up meal, and always a quick and reliable stop. The girl at the front was so sweet answering my questions about their menu as well as showing me to their bathroom in the back (I had to walk through the kitchen to use it and there is a bunch of stuff being stored in there, but hey I'm not one to complain about getting to use it). The drink was pretty well priced considering the inflation of boba drinks and especially fruit drinks, so SO WORTH IT. The chicken pad see ew was alright, 6.5/10- not the best but also was not bad and I would get again considering how convenient it is to get food from here. The chicken wings are not your traditional fried chicken wings but the flavor of the sauce was good; they were a bit dry but not enough to stop me from eating it. There are a few tables and countertop space along the wall for seating. The vibe is very chill inside, a bit homey, 'hole in the wall.' The parking lot is a bit tight but there are usually spots whenever I come by. Overall, the food this time was alright, but for the price and the kind service, I'm happy!

I've been receiving Yelp recommendations regarding this spot so decided to stop by to pick up some food. The spot is conveniently located in a strip mall with ample parking. The restaurant itself has a small dinning area but I was just picking up. The staff were friendly, attentive, and polite and were nice enough to accommodate my order pick up change time. I ordered several items that included chicken fried rice, pad see ew with beef, popcorn chicken with thai chili sauce, fried dumplings, and a thai tea with boba. My favorite was the chicken fried rice, it was delicious and full of flavors. The fried dumplings were perfectly cooked and very tasty. However the other items were good but not totally memorable. In conclusion, 164 Eatery didn't totally disappoint but under succeeded my expectations especially since Yelp kept recommending the spot to me. Maybe next time I drop by I'll get the garlic noodles.

A truly great hidden little gem. I got the orange chicken plate with fried rice, fries & side of kimchi ($28 altogether). The plate is a huge portion and it was fantastic. The kimchi was great as well. Didn't really care too much for the fries, but pretty happy with everything else. It's a very small spot, and service was incredibly kind.

Came her with my girlfriend last week and was blown away with how good the food was. The garlic noodles are some of the best I've ever had and my girlfriend got the pad see ew. Was also very good and would recommend getting either or. Also the smoothie here and extremely good and if you are in for something sweet definitely get it! The restaurant was very nice inside and very spacious in cause you do want to eat inside. Would be coming back again !

Our favorite small family-owned eatery with quick bites and boba. Cant go wrong with their popcorn chicken. Quick service and easy access!

So happy to stumble upon this little gem! I drive by everyday coming from work and I finally stopped by to try it out. I was not one bit disappointed. I got the pad see ew, which seems to be a crowd favorite, shrimp fried rice and soy glazed wings. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! Not too salty but savory enough. I really loved it all. The place is clean and the staff is super friendly. It took a while to get my food but I assume it's because everything is made to order. I highly recommend you check them out! Can't wait to come back and try other things.

If you want good kimchi fried rice, this is your place. Actually all their fried rice plates are really good.

Crazy high reviews but I was not a huge fan of the food. Decent garlic noodles but no veggies and the chicken seemed like an afterthought. Super friendly service and not over priced but not blown away by the food. I love supporting small businesses like these.

I ordered friend rice and wontons online. Pick up time was 20 minutes. I get to the eatery and not only is my food not ready but after standing in the eatery for about 10 minutes, tell finally decide to tell me there is no more rice to fulfill my order. 100% unacceptable. There good is delicious but so not worth this type of mistake.

I honestly think the reviews on this place are fake. We came here because they had 4 starts. Boyyyy were we in for a bland meal. None of this is worth eating. Friend rice taste like white rice no color as well. The pad se ew was bland, no flavor at all and overcooked noodles. Meat tasted like lunch meat in sauce. I would suggest you going elsewhere. What a waste!

all recommendations were great! The service was great and very informative. Hibiscus tea was refreshing!

I hoped for better flavor, but the garlic noodles and pad see ew were very bland. The positive were the prices.

Definitely will be back! It was our first time trying out this place today and all I can say is I'll definitely be back! The food is so flavorful! The service was outstanding! The girl in the first definitely helped us out with some great recommendations. Especially with the milk teas they have. The ambiance was nice as well. Does get a bit stuffy inside. But will be back!

Always good experience. Food is delicious and drinks are great. Filet Beef rice bowl..... pricey but tastes great Iced Matcha Brown sugar

I love the kimchi fried rice and Korean fried chicken. Food is always consistent as I've been coming for two years now. Service is always friendly and I really appreciate the kind atmosphere in 194. Ambiance is also super chill and clean. I would definitely come here again and have recommended this place to friends.

We found this place while looking for a local spot to eat before going to La Mirada Theater. It's a small family joint where the husband is the chef! We found out 194 is the weight of the husband so cute. We ran into a couple that are regulars and they love going there to try new dishes. It's nicely priced and very friendly. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Found this little hidden spot on a whim and it turned out to be delicious! I got the bulgogi bowl with rice and it was delicious. Service was great can't wait to head back

Super friendly service, the pad see ew was delicious! Kind of small inside only a few tables but would definitely go back

Food: Bulgogi Rice Bowl / Pad See Ew I've probably driven by 194 Eatery a hundred times, but have never noticed it. Wanting to try something new, we decided that it was finally time to check one off the "to try list." The Bulgogi Rice Bowl was decent. The meat was tender, the portion sizing was okay, and overall had some good flavor to it. I added a little sriracha to spice it up a bit. The Pad See Ew on the other hand... I would probably never order again. The noodles were wayyy too oily, that it made it almost inedible. We ended up sharing the rice bowl instead. Restaurant: 194 Eatery is tucked away in a strip mall off a super busy street. It is kind of hidden behind some other buildings out front which means you can easily miss it if you are not looking. Inside there about 6ish tables. Notes: Someone once told me that if you went to an Asian restaurant and they made many different types of Asian foods (Korean, Viet, Japanese) and didn't focus on solely one, that you should pass. I think this might be one of those examples. For those that love it and support, keep doing so! That's what keeps these small restaurants in business. We all have our favorite hole in the walls, this one is just not mine.

Nice little shop tucked in a small plaza. The epitome of a "hidden gem". Courteous workers and good food.

Found this place by accident. Great menu and super friendly staff. The garlic noodles were amazing! Looking forward to returning soon.

The ratings don't lie! I was a little hesitant because the size of the restaurant is a bit small, but the service was friendly and quick, quality of food was GREAT and prices were reasonable. Bonus is the boba!! I highly recommend.

This place is so good....such a hidden gem.. Korean fusion..must try!! Bowls are good, the chicken n cheese fries are out of this world.

This establishment was clean and has an interesting seating arrangement. They have seats for small parties and bigger parties. When I first arrived I notice they have a B so that was a little interesting. I ordered the Cheesy Kimchi Fries and the Strawberry Milk Tea. This was my first time having the cheesy kimchi fries I was a little hesitant but decided to order it. The Cheesy Kimchi Fries were very good I enjoyed them very much. The flavoring was perfect and I liked how they cooked the egg over the fries. The strawberry milk tea was interesting it was like strawberry filling on the bottom so when you drink you kind of taste chunks. Personally I didn't enjoy the chunks but to each is own. The drink was pretty good it's just that part that I didn't care for. The service was very good and I thought they were pretty fast. All in all I had a good experience.

Great service and cute place! Food is delicious. Their Cheesy Bulgogi Fries are amazing.

The food was delicious. Best garlic noodles and kimchi fried rice. My son devoured his bugolgi cheese fries. Will recommend this place to friends and family.

Terrific food and friendly service. Went here for dinner and had amazing orange chicken - easily the best I have had anywhere

Great service to start! The staff always has a smile and they are always so polite and generous! Lots of tea houses in the area but 194 eatery has some of the best drinks by far. You definitely have to try the rice bowls which are amazing too.

Ordered by phone for takeout, and it was ready right in time. The popcorn chicken comes with 2 sauces, one is a sweet and sour and the other is ranch. Well in 60% confident it was ranch, it had muted flavor and could have been a Mayo or aioli of some kind. I liked the ranch more than the sweet and sour, just a better pairing. (BoPoMoFo has a Thai basil aioli which is probably the best sauce I've had with popcorn chicken). Chicken pieces were reasonable size, and the total portion was acceptable for the price. Second item was the Cheesy Kimchi Fries, a guilty pleasure kind of dish. Yeah I figured it would not be the healthiest item but it sounded good and it was. Fries in the bottom, with cheese melted and then topped with kimchi and some proteins including an over easy egg. I did take out and ate the food at home, fries got a little soggy and would have been even better if eaten fresh in restaurant. In addition to the egg, there was some chicken, some bulgogi, and some spam cubes. These ask added a bit to the flavor profile, but I wanted a bit more kimchi since that is in the dish name. Staff were very nice and even gifted a small dessert to the kids. Popcorn chicken for Sophie comes with sweet and sour sauce and ranch. Ranch better but muted flavor (maybe Mayo?) chicken itself fine and good size pieces. Cheesy Kimchi fries were unhealthy and tasty. Had various meats including spam, bulgogi, chicken, stuffy egg on top. Fries did get soggy overtime but eaten fresh would be enjoyable.

This is a small eatery with big flavors. The service was great and I love the look of the inside. The chicken fried rice was perfect. Now over or under seasoned. The flavors were just right. One of the best rice dishes I've had so far in the OC. The garlic noodles were good as well. The noodles were " garlic noodles " but more so like lo main. They didn't really have a garlic flavor. But with the egg and the bulgogi on top it made the dish good anyways. I would definitely come back.

A hidden Jem in La Mirada. The personal are friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this place for everyone.

Loved the variety of menu items. Everything we got was so delicious! Between all of us, we tried the orange chicken, the kimchi fries, the beef bulgogi fries, and a beef bowl. Everything was 10/10 would recommend! I also had the Thai tea and it was a nice addition to the food. The noodles were phenomenal as well. The staff was friendly and helpful, I can't wait to be back and try more of the menu items!

Sooooooo goood! Their food has great taste and they are not greedy with their portions.

Such a nice small place that was empty when we came so maybe that added to our experience but it was simple and welcoming. Our food was also very good but I still say that if you intend to share then maybe decide on one dish and an appetizer because the portions are quite a lot. I truly loved their pad see ew which I have been craving for a while and their bulgogi fries were so bomb and maintained their crunchy texture. My wife got garlic noodles with shrimp which was also quite flavorful and delicious. Their tea was also quite good both with boba and without. Highly recommend for a casual meal out.

Yesss best soy boneless wings ever ! They were a hit at my movie night party ! The garlic noodles w filet mignon always good. Food is fresh and tastes amazing ,, friendly staff. . Support small local businesses!!!

I haven't tried the food here yet but from looking at the reviews the food looks pretty good. They have vegetarian friendly options as well. I spoke to who I think was the owner and she explained some of the food items like the rice cake to me. The employees all seem pretty nice. The cashiers and owners all say hi as you enter. I've tried the brown sugar milk and taro bobas and they were both good. The first time I got their boba the boba was fresh so it was a bit over boiled. And the next time I went it was perfectly fine. The inside of the restaurant is pretty empty. I've only visited on week days so I'm sure it gets somewhat busy on weekends. Everything is pretty clean and seems like a good spot to go with friends. Parking is pretty easy in this lot. It's a bit tight with so many stores but haven't had an issue so far. * ive noticed some items aren't listed on their menu but they do have them so make sure to ask.

Garlic noodles are very tasty but for something cooked in a wok, the food is not temperature hot. Otherwise, it's good.

Oh my gosh this place is so good. If you keep going to Panda Express and think you're getting quality food... stop. The food is so delicious and so fresh and I overall felt great after eating it which sometimes you don't with food if it's heavy. The inside is super cute, a bit small but very cute! So this isn't a place for big groups to sit but it is for big groups to go. I had questions on the menu and the staff was so patient and kind as I asked a lot of questions. Overall such a good spot. I love that this is a small business and my money is going back to the community and not a big corporation!

This place was an amazing little hole in the wall. The garlic noodles were some of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend you come check them out and explore their menu as they were many many options.

Oh what an identity crisis. Pad see ew tasted like a bland chow fun. Vietnamese garlic noodle with filet minon, lacked garlic and was made with Chinese Lo mein. Korean garlic wings were done right but itty bitty. Soy garlic boneless chicken filled up the box but was a lot of soggy batter. Will pass next time.

Great food peach lychee boba was delicious and amazing service they treat customers very well
