Asia 101 Isla Vista Reviews
Delicious Asian fusion food on a student friendly budget. The drinks are the same as Mojo’s and their popcorn chicken is delicious, I’m happy to be able to get Asian tapas again. I also enjoy their rice bowls, though the popcorn chicken is a favorite.
Nice small shop the shrimp pho is the best in my opinion!!!! Super sweet employees too🩷🩷🩷
산타바바라에 일정이 있어 왔는데 진짜 맛있네요👍 한국인 입맛에도 맞는 보편적인 맛입니다. spicy라고 적혀있지만 한국인이 먹기에는 맵지 않습니다. 그래도 상당히 푸짐하고 맛있습니다. UCSB에 들렀다면 한번쯤 가볼만 합니다.

This is my favorite place to get bubble tea in/ near sb. They use real tea instead of the powders and my drink (I always get the same thing) is always consistent in flavor. Staff doesn’t interact but it’s so small inside, there really isn’t a reason/space to. My order is the only thing I’ve tried on the menu.
I had the pho noodles with beef briskets, popcorn chicken and melon tea. I just wanna say the brisket is the best in SB!!! The popcorn chicken is a must-order-item!!! The shop looks modern and clean. Looking forward to try their Creamy Tom Yum noodle soup!!! Hope they will have some fried rice soon!!!
Honestly, it's Hella Great Food! The Server was Awesome & Very, Very, Very Helpful. Place to sit is minimal, so we did take out. Highly recommend 👌
One of the few restaurants I will go back to again and be happy I spent the money. Prices don't make you feel you are getting under paid at work haha. 👍
Ultimate dining experience. great noodle, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere
Stellar dining. tasty food, welcoming service. Already looking forward to my next meal.
Foodie's paradise. delectable dishes, cozy setting, and friendly service. A definite revisit.

Not authentic pho. Just Tasteless.

Unfortunately this was the worst place I have ever eaten at in this town. I ordered a tofu banh mi and it was flavorless, soggy (yet also burnt), and had cucumbers that looked like they gone bad. It was inedible and I would recommend you stay away.
