“The food here is absolutely delicious! I had the house special shrimp and it was delightful. The breading was perfect, shrimp tasted fresh and the sauce was really good. My grandpa had the orange chicken and he really enjoyed it, I had a piece as well and it was fresh and crisp. My wife had the Beef Pho and it was soooo tasty. Definitely some of the best pho we have had. The owner of the location helped us pick wjat yo get, and was very helpful from start to finish. It is a family owned restaurant so totally get some TLC. The ambience us great, pretty spacious with very cool fish tanks as well. If you are in the area, I suggest you give this spot a try, you won't regret it.“
“The Veggie Grill Cold Noodle inspired me to write this review... One of the best things I've ever eaten in my life! Delicious sauce, and unique - much better than expected and an instant fave ??I really appreciated being able to get such wonderful food at 2:45 a.m. for takeout!Will repeat.“
“Loved the pad see ew! It was packed with flavor and the portion size was huge so you can definitely share between 2-4 people honestly. The lemongrass chicken was okay. Wouldn’t order it again just because it seemed a little burnt even though it was supposed to be “crispy”? Very tough to eat. Service was amazing and everyone was so kind. Definitely would come back to try other things!“

“Best noodle bowl I've ever eaten! Highly recommend! There was a line to wait but it moved quickly. You use the app to order and the food is served very quickly. My only down score about the atmosphere is that it's a small restaurant but other than that it's great food and great service!Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly food and provided silverware for my daughter who is still learning to use chopsticks“
“Hong Kong express reminds me of my childhood. I do enjoy them as they have good prices, food is consistent, and they always give big portions. They really stuff those styrofoam (ugh) takeaway boxes and give you your moneys worth. Stopped and got steamed rice and noodles which ended up costing $6.66. Worker made joke about seeing that number frequently. Luckily they take Apple Pay at location on harbor and Wilson.“
“While visiting Bloomingdales for the first time, we saw a picture of this restaurant’s signature xiao long bao on their window. We decided to come back to try out the different flavors of these soup dumplings. We didn’t come once, but twice. First time we ordered the dumplings, wonton soup, wood ear, and pork chop. For our second trip, we were joined by a visitor from Taiwan who shared with us this restaurant group’s brand of over 10 eateries all over Asia . And how lucky we were to have stumbled upon their first North American restaurant here in OC. For our second trip we tried fried rice, noodle soup, tofu, cucumber, and ordered two deserts, black sesame mochi, and red bean glutinous rice roll. Both were freshly made, soft, easy bite and just the right amount of sweetness. Overall the portions are not huge, as you might expect, the pork chop has a soft skin, not the crispy Japanese style pork Katsu. Every dish was well prepared. They even elevated the taste of a simple fried-rice. The decor is upscale modern, the service was prompt. The server patiently explained their menu, their signature and popular dishes for us to try. When we couldn’t finish our meal, our leftovers were packed in an insulated bag. Next time we are in OC, we would definitely have a meal there again. If you do try their soup dumplings, remember to start with the original flavor, then work up the flavors: black truffle, cheese, crab, garlic, BbQ pork, Szechuan and finally kimchi. No, the kimchi is not too intense, you can do it.Vegetarian options: One person in our group is a vegetarian so we ordered, several items from their vegetarian menu-tofu, cucumber, wood ear.“
