Wokcano - Irvine

I have no idea what the bad press is about!!! This place is awesome! The manager Teddy took care of the entree that he knew wasn't "up to par"; and the

Out of control overpriced Go to Tommy's Sushi in Tustin instead We eat in a lot of Asian and sushi places, all the time, everywhere we go.

Really don't know why this place doesn't have better ratings this is why sometimes yelp gets it wrong.

My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice.

Took my husband here for his birthday. We ordered from the Sunday Brunch menu. It was really a great experience . Food was really good (coming from someone who knows how to cook very well and is usually dissatisfied with many restaurant's food). The live Jazz was a nice touch. Server seemed a little new, but she was still good...and pleasant. I will return soon!
