Message: | Someone asked a similar question recently, so to avoid this becoming the Department of Redundancy Department, check out the link below. Really good Japanese restaurants are non-existent in Anaheim as far as I've been able to determine. There are some good options nearby in Fountain Valley, but that's probably further than you want to go (do a search on the CH home page for "Orange County sushi" or "Orange County Japanese" to find some other strings on this topic). If you do feel like taking a bit of a hike, I'd recommend going to the Little Saigon area on Bolsa for Vietnamese (do a search for the multitude of recommendations).
In the string below I made a few recommendations for Thai, Laotian, and Peruvian options nearby, but I'm taking back my recommendation for Nory's Anaheim location. The jalea that I ordered last Thursday was a big disappointment from what I've usually had (it was almost all squid - very little shrimp - and they didn't include the toasted corn, which is essential). The lomo saltado de pollo was still pretty good though. Nory's other location in Stanton (corner of Chapman and Knott) is still excellent, however, and I highly recommend it. If you're in the mood for Peruvian, the Anaheim location of El Pollo Inka a few blocks north of ball on Euclid (about a half mile from Nory's) is my best nearby recommendation.
I agree with Woo! about Napa Rose, but this is a rather expensive expense account restaurant. When conventions are in town this place can be fully booked very far in advance, so plan ahead to avoid being turned away. Their wine list is great, if somewhat overpriced, and it's the best bet in the area as far as "fine dining" options go. |
