“Haidilao never fails when it comes to quality and comforting hot pot. The dining area is clean, spacious, and beautifully accented with Chinese-style lantern fixtures.
Broth & Sauce Bar: The four-grid pot is the way to go — spicy broth with rich aroma alongside a savory mushroom broth and clear broth for lighter items. The DIY sauce bar lets you craft the perfect dipping bowls, from creamy sesame sauce topped with chili oil and cilantro to traditional fragrant garlic sesame oil.
Fresh Ingredients:
Sliced Beef & Lamb: Freshly sliced with vibrant color and great marbling; cooks tender and juicy within seconds.
Sides & Noodles: The dried tofu ribbons soak up the flavorful broth perfectly, the Napa cabbage is crisp and sweet, and the instant noodles cooked in the spicy broth make for the ultimate finish.
Service: Attentive and seamless as always. Water refills, apron prep, and empty plate clearances are handled smoothly without being intrusive.
An effortless 5-star meal that delivers on taste, consistency, and top-notch service every single visit.“

“I had a great first time experience at noodle nest. I came in craving some lamb cumin skewers and ended up ordering few other items as well. The service was super friendly and everything came out very quickly. The restaurant is pretty big overall and has iPad ordering which I like.
Marinated cucumbers: pretty standard with a big kick from the peppers. 8.5/10
Black pepper beef udon: noodles perfectly cooked with tender beef and a nice flavored sauce. 9/10
Lamb skewers: well seasoned and crispy and pretty tender. It hit the craving I was looking for. I would order double next time. 9.5/10
Sweet and sour pork riblets: pretty good, but I suppose the pork could have been slightly more tender for my preference (still came off bone) and the meat on the ribs were a little bit tiny. I would still order these again but just nitpicking. 8.5/10
Overall, I was pretty happy with my first experience here and I would definitely come back to try more things and get more skewers. Again shoutout to the manager and staff who was super nice and welcoming, we were definitely the only white boys in there 😀.“

“We stumbled across Peony Chinese Kitchen and are so glad we did- it was by far our favorite restaurant in Laguna Beach! We enjoyed our meal on the patio and had a great view of the beach. The food was excellent! Fresh ingredients, cooked well and they even accommodated a special request. The family style shrimp wonton soup was superb! Highly recommend!“

The prices are just right for the quality of the food and ingredients. I would give it a 10 out of 10, and we will definitely be coming back.“

“Love the food. Especially the lamb skewers, and the big plate chicken! Everything was delicious! The lamb eas tender and succulent. The chicken seasoned beautifully. However the Dessert is mid. The honey cake isnt like ones I've had at other uyghur spots. Its not thin layers. Its a bit dry.“

“Our server, Michelle T, was outstanding in every way. She remembered serving us in the past and was so welcoming and genuinely delighted to see us. She went out of her way to make sure that the cocktails we ordered were prepared perfectly by speaking directly to the bartender. When we asked about dinner specials we had in the past she found us those special menus and also reminded us that we could get a bottle of wine for half price on Wednesdays.. She checked with us frequently to make sure everything was perfect. She is truly an asset to the restaurant and we will always try to request her when we come back.“

“Really enjoyed the malatang here. The broth has great flavor with a good balance of spice and numbness, and the ingredients taste fresh and clean. Portions are generous and pricing feels fair. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back and try different combinations. Overall a solid spot for malatang.“

“I’m really glad we found this place, and it’s highly recommended if you are slightly adventurous and trying out some ethnic Chinese flavors.
Everything we ordered was excellent. We knew the crispy lamb buns (aka Chinese Burger) was going to be good, but not sure about the $20 fried pork which was #1 chef recommendations, it turned out to be delightful.
The lamb soup came out first, it was tasty and refreshing, Liang pi was cool, you don’t get it in many places. String beans were nicely done, a delicious necessity to balance out the meal.
The first bite of crispy lamb buns was a delightful surprise: crunchy layered thin bread and lamb with slightly cumin, it was an amazing feast.
Fried pork is an even more interesting surprise that I would not spoil. Ha ha. Try it to find out!
Service was fine, we were seats and water was provided quickly. Orders are done by scanning QR code, browsing the online menu, and order directly. I find this efficient but lacking some personal interactions.
We did purposely ordered a lot for the two of us, we obviously didn’t finish. I was surprised the bill wasn’t as much as I expected. We got a lot of leftovers to go and enjoyed rest at home.“

“Solid place for a quick meal when I wanted something hot and actually satisfying. I got the skewers and the first thing that hit was the aroma, then the flavor really landed. 味道好, but not in a heavy handed way. The seasoning had depth and the char gave it a nice edge. Inside felt clean and hygienic, which I notice right away at places like this, and the service was friendly in a relaxed, Roy and Ryan at the front desk were very kind, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. No big performance, just people being helpful. I left full and pretty content, still thinking about that smoky bite for a while after.“

“What an awesome little restaurant that popped up here. Was looking to try something new and found this amazing little bao spot. The most amazing thing is how they fry these bao. The bottom is hard and crunchy and the top is soft, making a soup filled bao in either seafood, curry or the standard pork. They sell them in quantities of 6 and 2 to 3 is enough to fill me! Highly recommend a quick lunch or dinner here, you won’t be disappointed in the authentic flavors.“

“By chance, my wife and I had stopped for lunch at Hai Master Restaurant and discovered that this restaurant is definitely a cuisine that we HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The prepared food distinguishes their dishes from the regular Chinese restaurant and is a taste that is incredibly delicious. The owner and chef is definitely one of a kind that incorporated the taste of her original province in China with her own spin. Tammy is the owner and chef and she just hired another chef with skills preparing Sichuan dishes if you want spicy food. This restaurant is becoming more popular each day because the restaurant is more packed every time we come there. Introduce yourself to Leo who can welcome you and lead you to the different delicious dishes they prepare and the service you can enjoy. 5 STARS“

“Great hidden gem for rice‑noodle lovers in Irvine! The Xinjiang spicy noodles are rich and flavorful, and the Sichuan pepper fish rice‑noodle soup has a wonderfully fresh broth. Appetizers and the new milk tea drinks are surprisingly good. Staff are friendly and service is quick. The dining area is clean with a relaxed vibe. Fantastic value for money, perfect for casual meals or group visits. Will definitely come back.“

“One of the most authentic and yummy XLB places. The waitlist can be a bit long during peak hours, but their system takes care of it. Services are fine too, just sometimes a bit monotone as they are very focused on their tasks. Simple and clean environment while we can also buy togo frozen XLB to steam at home. All their greens and veggies dishes are wonderful!“

“I love these unassuming places that make fantastic dishes.... The owner was kind and welcoming.
I ordered the Singapore mei fun it wasn't on the menu but it was probably the best that I've ever had. The mixture of shrimp and pork and chicken, the vegetables were just perfectly crisp with tons of flavor and the mei fun noodles perfectly cooked. Definitely ask for their secret recipe chili oil, you won't be disappointed!
I'll definitely be back and I will leave a picture next time, it looked delicious so I dug right into immediately! Lol.“

“Stopped in here for a quick lunch and had orange chicken, black pepper beef and some various dim sum items. Everything was good, the chive dumplings were HUGE and so flavorful we went back two days later to order more. Staff were very friendly, service was quick and the outdoor patio was nice.“
“This is a new restaurant has a nice decor and comfortable seating. We ordered Peking duck (no reservation needed), Peking duck soup, and a set meal of steamed shrimp with garlic and vermicelli. The shrimp was very fresh, I was surprised. They have many opening promotions now, with 5-6 dishes on special for $9.9. The food was delicious, served quickly, and the service was excellent. We will definitely come back!“

“Such an amazing and authentic Chinese dining experience! As someone who grew up in China, I can honestly say the food here really impressed me. The flavors are incredibly authentic, and you can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients in their dishes. Everything we tried was delicious!
The restaurant itself is also beautifully designed, with a really nice interior and a welcoming atmosphere. On top of that, the service was excellent, and the staff were super friendly and attentive.
Definitely one of the best authentic Chinese dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend!“

“We had a 35 person family reunion at this terrific restaurant. We have been coming here for the delicious food for a few years but in small groups so we wanted to share the experience with whole family when they were in town. The staff was fantastic especially Kenna who was so thoughtful kind and accommodating and the food was fresh and delicious like always.“

“I always seem to have a craving for this place every Tuesday and keep forgetting it's closed. If you asked me before finding this place if there was much of a difference between Chinese food spots, I would have said, no. Now I'd say go here and have the same light bulb moment I did. Best fried rice, house special chicken and cashew chicken I've had in a long long time.“

“I have been coming here since they first opened and every time it is consistently made fresh and well as well they have fair pricing on lunch specials. Their broccoli beef is actually packed with beef not just broccoli unlike other Chinese restaurants.“

“I ordered the chicken leg meat with dipping sauces and broth. Honestly, the chicken was great on its own. I didn't care for any of the sauces. The rice was a bit salty but still good.
The setup felt a little odd. There was a loud speaker on loop reminding Uber and DoorDash drivers to pick up orders in the back. It was super annoying. I really think they would benefit from having a host instead of relying on that speaker.
That said, the place itself was cool, and I liked that you can order from several different shops all through the same kiosk.“

“Very good food. Many choices on menu. Downside is they are very hard to get on phone. Also the hours they have posted online, even on this page, show “OPEN” Sunday, when we found out the hard way they are indeed NOT open. Please change your online presence to state correct days/hours. Including Yelp. This would be very helpful. Other than that, I give it “2 Thumbs up”.“

“Such a great location and amazing experience! The food was amazing and the customer service was out of this world. Something you don’t see every single day and I really appreciate that. I came here on my lunch break and Ed took care of me. I placed an online to go order and he remembered my name and made sure I had all my utensils and sauces. He also offered me a cup of ice for my water which I really appreciated. He goes above and beyond in his work and I really appreciate that. Thank you, Ed. I will be back for sure.“

“Been coming here since it opened and when we are visiting family in the area or passing through, this is our first choice for a place to eat! Yummy yummy and satisfying in the belly :-) We stray once in a while but consistently go with the delicious chicken lettuce warps, northern style ribs, singapore noodles, mongolian beef, salt and pepper prawns, and fried bananas with ice cream.
James (Manager/Operating Partner) is always welcoming and friendly. He is always receptive to comments we have regarding the food and service and addresses immediately if he can and makes us feel confident that they will be looked into.“

“My wife and I stopped by here while staying in Santa Ana. The young man behind the counter was super helpful And knowledgeable. He helped us navigate and find some truly delicious authentic dishes. Based on the clientele already seated there was no doubt it was authentic Chinese regional cuisine. Absolutely would go back when I’m back in California. Delicious!“

“Food is delicious!!! We went during lunch on a Tuesday and it was pretty full. Most were Chinese. You know the food is authentic when their own people are there. I just found this place recently and now I've become a fan. Their Xiao long bao is huge and so good. People say they are a din tai fungus dupe but with better prices. Also their beef scallion pancake was humongous and sooooo good. We also got their orange chicken which was one of the best I ever had. Everything we got here was so good. Eve loved their cold bar where we got cucumbers, pig ear(personal fav), and tofu. Everything was just 👌“

“Wowwwww… tried this place for the first time tonight for dinner and I was blown away!! I ordered the Chongqing chicken and spicy pork wontons with white rice and loved everything. Service was fast for dinner time and the cashier was so kind and helpful and even gave me some recommendations too. The chicken was just the right amount of spicy and the wontons were some of my favorite I’ve had. Portions are also big enough to share. I wish I lived closer so I could come here more often. Easy parking too. I will be back…“

“Good food - freshly prepared, better than most other Thai restaurants, not expensive even now. The waiters are attentive but unobtrusive. Ambiance and decor standard, but who cares, when the food is this good? I love the sauteed eggplant, and the papaya salad.“

“Watching TV and saw Pad Thai and had to have some. Wanted chix/shrimp and couldn't get any of the platforms to give me that option. Pad thai near me got me to Thai Dara 2 and my order had lots of both perfectly cooked shrimp and big white meat chicken pieces. The order left me with enough for dinner. I will definitely be back.“
“If I could give Kaleyard six stars, I would!
I ordered through DoorDash last night, and I was absolutely blown away. I had seen this place before but had never tried it. When I came across it on DoorDash, I looked through the menu and decided to give it a chance—and I’m so glad I did!
Let’s start with the chicken egg rolls. When I took my first bite, I was genuinely impressed to find large pieces of white-meat chicken and vegetables inside. And the flavor? Absolutely delicious! The fried rice was just as flavorful, and the House Special Chicken was another standout.
But the pan-fried noodles with beef and vegetables deserve a special mention. This is one of my favorite dishes, and I’m always excited to find a restaurant that does it well. I really appreciated that the noodles were packaged separately from the beef, vegetables, and sauce so they wouldn’t get soggy during delivery. That little detail makes such a difference! Once I poured everything over the noodles and took a bite, I knew this was one of the best versions of this dish I’ve had in a long time.
Not only was every dish outstanding, but everything arrived hot! I even had some of the leftovers for lunch today, and they still tasted amazing. From the flavors to the thoughtful packaging, the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
I like to try restaurants for myself rather than rely solely on reviews, and Kaleyard made an incredible first impression. You will definitely be getting more orders from me, and I can’t wait to explore the rest of the menu.
Thank you for such a delicious meal. I’m already looking forward to my next order!“

“I just wanted to take the time to really thank Pick Up Stix at the Lake Forest location. I always have had a great experience here - whether it be for the food or the customer service.
Recently, I decided to venture off my usual choice - Chow Mein - which I think is the best ever. Unfortunately, the new dish I ordered was subpar, I called the restaurant and spoke to a nice lady (I forgot her name unfortunately), she went above and beyond just replacing the meal. And I really appreciated it. Customer service like this is now rare - but she was so nice about it. A) didn't make me feel low or stuck-up (I hate that feeling esp when the vendor makes the mistake) - this was not the case here B) replaced the meal with another of my choice C) And added a generous extra item on the house
Thank you so much! My family loved the dinner - per usual :)“

“IG/TT@eatwkris
has one of the best beef noodle soups. The noodles were cooked perfect and soaked up the tasty broth. The meat though is just okay but I’m here for noodles and soup. I’m not sure why they don’t have pickled veggies inside but the soup was still so sour and savory I loved it!! You can also adjust your spice level and they load it with peppers and it is definitely SPICY. it’s more fusion than traditional but I thought it was so good.“
“Must praise the service first. The lady in the front is super nice, answering all my questions with patience. Food looks fresh and tasty. Bought some chicken feet, quail et, and mixed veggies, averaging about $15/lb.
They also sell hotpot stuffs and provide sit-down meals.“

“This was my first time at this Panda location. Plenty of parking during evening rush. The nice humans behind the counter greeted me with a smile and asked how my day was. The food was especially fresh tasting and I enjoyed the new BBQ brisket option. Clean store, friendly atmosphere. Thanks for the nice experience.“
