Asian Restaurants near Santa Cruz

“I don’t review things often, but this place deserves a review. The chef is an artist. We have eaten at Full Steam many times, gone to pop-ups, and farmers markets. His food is amazing. It isn’t traditional, it is leveled up. Yes, it ain’t cheap. Every time I pay I cringe a bit. But then when I eat I remember why it costs what it does. The broths are complex. The dumplings are robust. And the side gigs like his Pho pop up and Bahn Mi are special. And weird hack, I’m not a vegetarian at all, but some of the vegetarian dishes are better than his meat dishes. I hope they keep at it. As a foodie I think Full Steam is an important part of making SC a great place to live.“

“Best Korean food I’ve had in awhile! Bulgogi was incredible. Great presentation too! Loved the order of Kimchi fried rice. 10/10 recommend! My girlfriend got the Galbi (short ribs) and said they were so good.Also super fun they have a robot that brings out food for you. Super cool to experience…“
