Shanghainese Restaurants near Anaheim, CA

“My family has been eating at this restaurant for over 2 years, we love this restaurant. We joke with each other, that our taste buds have been spoiled by Qin Cuisine, and that we can no longer visit fast food style restaurants of this same type. This restaurant is a sit down restaurant with great service and wonderful food. This is a special treat for us, when ever we feel that we deserve a good meal. They work hard to serve you, and they keep the restaurant very clean. The location is very convenient and comfortable. This is one of those restaurants that will always be on your roster.“

“We had a wonderful experience with Din Tai Fung in Downtown Disney! Since it’s located inside Downtown Disney, you’ll need to go through the security screening before getting there, so be sure to allow a little extra time.

The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, and every employee we interacted with was welcoming, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. We ordered takeout, and the pickup process was smooth and efficient. Although we didn’t dine inside this visit, the restaurant looked gorgeous, and we’d definitely love to eat there next time.

Our meal was outstanding! We ordered the Pork Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), sliced chicken noodle soup, noodles with spicy sauce, Shrimp & Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons, and Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The soup dumplings lived up to the hype, the chicken noodle soup was comforting, the spicy noodles and wontons had just the right amount of heat and amazing flavor, and the Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao truly had happiness in every bite.

The best part was taking our dinner back to the hotel and enjoying it while watching the Disneyland fireworks from our balcony. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable day.

Whether you dine in or order takeout, Din Tai Fung is absolutely worth the visit. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Absolutely delicious food - def a hidden gem in Irvine. Flavors hit al dente and they're pretty delicious and nearly authentic - speaking from someone who's travelled to nearly all the provinces in China. The Taiwanese Chicken is really good - though it's more like Jiangnan-style food given its sweetness - and you can tell whoever's working behind the kitchen is a veteran. Despite the 4.0, this place's food is easily 4.5 or above.“

“Had a great meal at Mama Lu’s Dumpling House! We ordered the juicy pork dumplings, Shanghai rice cakes, clams with basil, and honey basil pork chop. Everything was flavorful and came out hot and fresh. The juicy pork dumplings were a must-try, and the Shanghai rice cakes had the perfect chewy texture. The clams with basil were fragrant and delicious, and the honey basil pork chop was a great combination of sweet and savory. Lots of good options on the menu, and everything was perfect for sharing. Would definitely come back to try more dishes!“
