Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. Innovation, atmosphere, service – this happening Asian bistro gets 10s all the way around. In fact, TEN's decor may just be the standard by which other OC restaurants are measured. Each of the four elements (fire, water, earth, and air) is incorporated in intriguing ways, and kinetic color lighting ensures the mood is never static. A 16-foot Buddha hovers above the main dining room, and two beautifully designed patio seating areas feature fire pits. The menu includes temptations like caterpillar or yellowtail & jalapeño rolls, crisp whole catfish with sweet and sour sauce, and crispy Cantonese duck with hoisin lime sauce. |

Description:
COSTA MESA. Filmmaker Peter Jackson may have helped put New Zealand at the top of many vacation wish lists thanks to his screen adaptation of the Tolkien trilogy, but folks in Orange County know that terrific Kiwi cuisine requires no Pacific crossing. Indeed, the husband-and-wife tandem of Noel and Kathrin Turner promises unparalleled dining. The secret to their success lies in a dedication to purity – all foods served are natural and free of hormones, pesticides, and antibiotics, allowing diners to savor dishes in their simplest and, perhaps, most delicious state. Located a few paces from South Coast Plaza. |

Wasa on the Bluffs |
|
(Restaurants - Lunch) |

1346 Bison Ave Bluffs Shopping Center, Newport Beach 92660 • 949-760-1511
|
|
Distance:
~2.05 mi * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. Casual and friendly, Wasa prides itself on taking away some of the mystique of sushi, especially for first-timers. Options range from the familiar (cucumber, California and rainbow rolls) to the specialty (the Tustin Roll features spicy tuna, cucumber and eel sauce while the Irvine Roll takes the California and adds smelt egg to the outside), and it's hard to make a bad choice. Diners who eschew the raw can take solace in superb main courses, which include sea urchin risotto with grilled spot prawns, rib-eye steak teriyaki, and Chilean seabass with soy and red wine marinade. |

Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. Locals laud the osso buco and gnocchi gorgonzola served at this casual eatery, whose atmosphere and homemade fare are reminiscent of Old World gems you'd expect to find in Florence – in fact, the place also has an "older sister" restaurant in Firenze. For added charm, request a table overlooking Newport's Inner Harbor, which is usually full of luxurious yachts. Be warned, though: Mamma's tends to get crowded quickly, especially on weekends. |
