Date night done right at Izakaya Osen in Irvine 🍣 The Toro Uni Bowl is the move: tuna belly, sea urchin and caviar you scoop onto crispy nori and build yourself. Add the rock shrimp tempura in spicy almond aioli, the miso crab salmon, kushiyaki skewers and the eight piece Hachi Mori flight, and you’ve got my new favorite sushi night. Save this one!

Michelin starred dim sum from Hong Kong, and it is right here in Irvine. Tim Ho Wan USA opened in Hong Kong back in 2009 and earned a Michelin star for doing one thing exceptionally well: gourmet Cantonese dim sum at prices that actually make sense. There are no dim sum carts here either, so every dish is made fresh to order, and you can taste it in the baked BBQ pork buns and the shrimp rice rolls. Do not sleep on the drinks either, the lemon tea, milk teas and premium Chinese teas are worth the trip on their own.
They are also hosting The Taste of Hong Kong: Mid-Autumn Celebration at the Irvine location on Tuesday, September 22 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Expect handcrafted dim sum, Mid-Autumn traditions, interactive games and cultural experiences, plus exclusive merch and special offerings from Hong Kong brand partners. Tickets are on Eventbrite, link in Tim Ho Wan USA bio!
