“Favorite neighborhood Chinese spot! They cook everything fresh, and it always tastes great. Favorites include honey walnut shrimp, wonton soup, and orange chicken - it's made with white meat and lightly breaded. Recently tried the kung pao tofu, and now it's a new fav! Ordering by phone is simple, and the staff is super friendly. My whole order was ready in 15 mins, just as they said. Love that they load up dishes with lots of veggies. Overall, it's my go-to for satisfying Chinese takeout!“
“This restaurant is a gem! Super friendly and helpful service and great choices. We enjoyed catching up with our family while sharing a large room with others surrounded by tasteful decorations. If there were 6 stars, I would have given them!“
“Although the outside of the restaurant looks modest, this is a great hidden gem in the 99 ranch market center that offers great food and great service, all at a reasonable price. The manager treats customers like family. It is honestly a bit difficult to recommend a particular dish, because everything we've had were quite good. Even the seemingly "simple" dishes felt sophisticated and well-made. We appreciate the fact the you will not get the greasy and slightly bloated feeling after the meal that you may get from other China restaurants - I think that is a testament to their use of quality ingredients and heathier cooking process. If you have not been, give it a try and you will surely become a repeat customer!“

“Matt & the team at Paracel Seafood went above and beyond to ensure my celebration was everything I hoped it would be. From the tasting, decor, food to music, everything exceeded my expectations. I received the highest level of feedback from my guests regarding the food (lobster noodles and crab soup was delicious) and the drinks (specialty cocktails). Matt's incredible MC and DJ's skills also did not go unnoticed. Several guests noted his positive energy and warm personality really added to the event. I can't imagine him not being part of our event. I would look no further and book your next event at Paracel Seafood. Thank you again so much for everything!“
“We went for dinner on the earlier side with four adults and four kids. It was delicious! The staff were kind and accommodating. We got the rice bowl, noodle bowl both with ground pork, my brother got the Taiwanese beef bowl and he loved it. The kids liked the plain noodles, and it's nice you can add sides like egg and bok choy. The pot stickers are nice too. Everyone enjoyed the food! Really good and would love to go back soon.“
“Happy Bee, Happy MeFormerly Rice on Dish, Happy Bee Kitchen has been on my weekly food rotation. Delicious Chinese food, served by friendly & caring staff who remembers their customers. As per usual, lunch specials are what I go for when it comes to Chinese food.Stir-fried beef w/ ginger & scallions-So tender! Beef, in all it's iterations, is my litmus test for a Chinese restaurant, and Happy Bee's stir-fried beef w/ ginger & scallions is a winner. Packed with flavor, I'd order this again in a heartbeat. That is, if I don't choose Mongolian beef.Peking duck-Love that crispy skin! The Peking duck was succulently decadent. The meat was unctuous with all the duck fat, and when paired with baos, vegetables & sauce, a filling & satisfying entree.Curry chicken-Normally I don't order curry dishes, as most restaurants (usually Thai) serve curry with more potatoes than protein. Here, at Happy Bee, I'm delighted to say their curry chicken was predominantly chicken. Oh so tender chicken! The bell peppers & curry provided a good amount of heat, enhanced by the addition of chili oil on my part. Really good!Service has been excellent. The staff have always been hospitable & cheerful the times I've been at Happy Bee. A good amount of seating via tables & booths, with 1 large banquet table w/ a Lazy Susan. Parking is at the 99 Ranch Plaza, with Happy Bee located next to It's Boba Time & Let's Sea Bag n' Roll at the southside of the plaza.Wonderful food, wonderful people. Happy Bee Kitchen is one of my favorite places to eat weekly. I'm having a delightful time exploring their menu, and am looking forward to what culinary delight awaits me next. Highly recommend!“
“So first of all the pork chops are a must soft tender but well crusted and well seasoned outside with jalapeño and garlic just yummy. Another favorite is the mangolian beef cooked to perfection the goes perfect with white rice . I've dined in and the service is ok what i really liked is that all food comes out together and the restaurant feels warm inviting and very family like.“
“Ordered the non-spicy beef noodle soup (hand-cut) and added my own level of heat. Nice broth. Wish I had seen their cold drinks lineup before getting my green tea order from the bakery. Will try their milk green tea next time along with some other dishes (lamb, cold noodles).Nice sitting area shared with the hot deli. Reasonable prices and solid portions. The lady that took my order is nice & served the food to my table. Unexpected and much appreciated!“
“Let me first start off by saying I was quite hesitant about trying this location because of the area. Not that it's a bad area, it's just that it's not a typical area you would go for dumplings. But, my curiosity got the best out of me. I walked in and it's a small location, clean, staff is friendly. She asked if I been there before I said no, and she proceeded to talk to me about the menu which I appreciate it. I end up ordering beef dumpling combo. Found out all noodles are made there which makes it way better. The flavors of the dumpling are very flavorful. I have been to several restaurants that the dumplings are decent, but have not much flavor. But, this one is loads of flavor. I can't wait to go back and try more!“
“It's difficult to find good vegan and gluten food so when there are options, I'm curious to taste and see if it is any good. I had the beef brócoli substitute the beef for ham and it was good, I enjoyed it. My husband had the shaking beef and he liked it too, he wished it had more of the marinade/sauce. Great customer service!“
“Very interesting place , the food is top notch , they served you super well portions and the flavor is super , the lady that welcomes you is a character in a good way , is super nice and attentive, but with a little hyper crazy personality... their only fault is place needs to be a little more organized as you can see boxes and tables for storage and plain view ... but overall a good place ... that tea wasn't that good either ( super hot be careful)“
“Great dining experience. The interior is large, and clean. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Plenty of menu selection varying from typical Chinese menu offerings; veggies, seafood, chicken, beef, etc. Menu is very easy to read. Excellent spot for Chinese/Korean dine-in experience. Definitely recommend!“
“Honey walnut shrimp delicious, hot and freshly fried veggie egg roll yummy, half and half fried rice and noodles on point- all were very good. The portions were generous on the rice and noodles. Friendly and prompt Small space with a few tables to sit and eat. Weather was nice outside, so sat on patio.“
“That place was good and food is best. Customers service is best. I wish most place followed their way. The manager only control and seat people take money. He tell the other worker take the order in side. Some place the manger is worker, sometimes he is chief. This place they know their role.“
“I love this place! Great priced chinese food and they give you so much! The boxes are loaded up heavy and you will be satisfied! Tried 'egg foo young' for the first time & it was so yummy! Comes with a side of hot gravy and yum! It's vegetarian. Cant go wrong with choosing Lucky for cheap, filling, flavorful chinese food!“
“The beef chow fun is literally, no exaggeration, the best plate of noodles I've ever had in my life. Not only the kind of flavorful that goes through your whole body, but the beef was tender as butter. The hot and sour soup was also exemplary. I'm kind of a man of habit and it takes a lot to add a restaurant to my regular favorites rotation; Fu Plus jumped to the top of the list and it's likely to stay there. Holy cow.“
“On a budget, large family or just have am extra big appetite, this is the place. You'll be waiting for a bit so don't go on an empty stomach. Lady is so nice. The portions are huge. She stays in business, because she gives to her church and caters.“
“Our server was very nice and friendly. Great customer service. We ordered the shrimp with pepper and garlic, shrimp fried rice, egg drop soup, and the Chinese broccoli sautéed in garlic. They were all excellent and were more than enough for the two of us. The place was clean and well organized. The price was commensurate for the portions.“
“It's always the places tucked away in a corner that are the best. You would never see this place from the main road unless you go into the business park. I've only been once and tried the orange peel chicken with fried rice. They forgot my fried rice and gave me white rice but I live near by and they were quick to fix it when I came back. The quality and taste of the food keeps this a 5 star. The chicken didn't taste cheap or full of salt and didn't upset my stomach after like other places. I would surely come back!“
“Delicious!! It’s your authentic Chinese food and they start you off with tea and crispy wonton chips that you dip in sweet sauce or spicy hot sauce. We ordered the family meal and we egg drop soup, eggs rolls for started and a meat patty that was cooked in foil. I really enjoyed the pork chops and orange chicken and both were yummy and sweet. The fried rice was spot on. I would like to try their other dishes and would come again. I only wished they had oranges but the meal was finished with a fortune cookie and almond cookie“
“Great work on the details. Service was impeccable. The food was delicious. We ordered the sweet/pungent shrimp with their signature sauce. The shrimp were fresh, jumbo, sweet, and pleasantly plump. So good!! Love the soup and vegetable lo-mein. Did not care too much for the cream cheese crab wontons. Too much cream, not enough crab.“
“Green onion pancakes are crispy, flaky, and fragrant. Dry crispy pork spare ribs with spices, amped up with chopped garlic and jalapenos. My favorite every time mala spicy prime beef noodle soup, tasty sauté of mushroom medly with Chinese celery - a perfect accompaniment to spicy dishes and their house specialSpicy noodles for those of us who like it hot! I'm so glad they have good service and consistently delicious dishes!“
“Holy cow. This place has the most amazing food. We ordered the soup dumplings and ended up getting a second order because they were so delicious. My kids couldn’t get enough of the short rib Dan noodle. It was all so fresh, well prepared, and the service was top notch. Every person who helped us was incredibly friendly and kind. We already plan on coming back tomorrow!“
“I've been coming here since about 2002 and have never had a bad meal here. Its really hard to when the owners are such great people and are there to greet you and even make your food for you. Both owners take turns as the chef depending on the day. Its impossible to tell who the better chef is because both have made me delicious meals. From the chef's salad to the war wonton soup, I've explored their menu and have loved all of it. The portions are generous, too. Quite a gem.“
“Always a friendly hello upon arrival. The Manager's Special is my Go to favorite. 2 entrees your choice, rice or noodles or I take half and half. Your choice soup hot and sour or egg roll and a can of soda or a. bottle of water.We are talking generous portions. $12 and change. It is easy to split between 2 people or save half for later.The food is delicious. I highly recommend this place for lunch.There is plenty of seating and the place is neat and clean.They open at 10:30 AM Monday to Saturday.If you are in the neighborhood of Cherry and Willow this place is a find. It is in a small strip mall between Starbucks and Black Bear Cafe.Parking: There is parking right in front but also lots of parking behind the Starbucks Food 4 Less adjacent lotWheelchair accessibility: I use a walker and I had a grocery bag hanging on the handle. The door was wide enough for me to enter with no problem.“
“I have been going here for as long as I remember. Korean style Chinese food usually doesn’t taste the same in the US compared to Korea, but this place tastes the same or even better. Our family enjoys the classic dishes which include Jjajangmyeon, Jjampong, and Tangsuyuk. I highly recommend eating here. You will not regret it.“
“This review is for the KUNG PAO CHICKEN and the nice employee. I've lived in the area for over 40 years and... um NEVER been here before! Not exactly sure how long it's been here. There were two Chinese restaurants I frequent and one has gone a little down hill AND is further away from my house and the other closed, so it's time to check out a replacement. I ordered Kung Pao cuz it's one of my husband's favorites and since we don't eat much anymore, we only needed one entree to share. IT WAS DELICIOUS AND HONESTLY THE BEST KING PAO I'VE EVER HAD!! It had the right amount of seasoning and was NOT overly salty. Like some, I'm fine with MSG, so I don't notice it. Also at $17 for one entree, which included enough rice for both of us, we ended up with THREE servings! We both ate it for dinner and I had enough to eat it again for lunch! The kid who helped me was in an exceptionally good mood cuz he had just got his driver's license. LOL I'll be back to try another entree soon!“
“I met my friend here for lunch as it is one of his go-to places for Tawainese/Chinese homestyle food. He ordered us a good amount of things to try - including the Three Cups Chicken, Stinky Tofu, pork spare ribs, Tawainese sausage and buns, and veggies. We had plenty to eat and everything was delicious. I don't think you can go wrong with the food here.“
“I’ve came here 4 times in a row and the food is consistent. The orange chicken is amazing especially because they give you big chunks of chicken unlike other Chinese restaurants where it’s more breading than chicken.If you are in a rush call ahead or else you’ll be waiting awhile. The kitchen makes as it is order. Good food takes time!“
“I think I would try the tacos or nachos next time. I tried the grilled cheese and bacon sandwich and wished it was a little bit bigger, whereas my co-workers got the carnitas tacos and was loaded with toppings. I also had a half Caesar salad which was what I expected and fresh. I would come back, it's a good option for families and offers a variety of food.“
“We got there during Busy Busy lunch time on Sat. We barely sat at the table at the entrance. I was not feeling comfy. The customers passed right our table at the door. No relax this time. We got the menu for special lunch. Small portion w less expensive. We ordered fried dumplings, chicken w lobster sauce, and chicken kungpao. The foods were delivered so fast even thou they had lots of Take out orders. I liked the fried dumplings, Juicy and crunchy. For the chicken kungpao, I give 3 stars, missing something. Spicy but not really flavorful. The chicken pieces are too small, I couldn't taste the chicken. We both liked chicken w lobster sauce, mild, so creamy, soft shrimps w lots of veggies. I give 4 stars. Overall, I was not relaxed due to the corner of the entrance. People and the staff bothered me. However, I want more fried Dumplings. Today's best was fried dumplings.“
“EVERY TIME I come to this location Monique and team go above and beyond. The customer service is amazing and on top of that the food tastes phenomenal! If you’re thinking of coming here to eat you definitely should! Your tastebuds will thank you! Also, I do customize my entrees and they never give me attitude for that like other locations do! 10/10! Perfect !“
“I've been going to this restaurant for nearly 3 decades. This is still our family favorite for traditional Korean style Chinese food. Their Jampong and Jjajangmyun always hit the spot. Their staff has also remained mostly the same since we first started going here. Food is always delicious and consistent.“
“Finally tried this new dumpling spot on second street. I had to call and check if they were safe for me due to my peanut allergy and luckily they were very accommodating and able to remove peanuts from any items that had the warning. I really appreciate them accommodating to the allergy since I have noticed a lot of places now don't want to take responsibility and just suggest you not eat there. I am so happy I got to try the food, as we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered and had leftovers since they were generous portions. Happy to have this new addition in Belmont shore!“
“Loved the food and atmosphere was really good. I think they serve chinese/korean food here. It was my first time visiting so we had some recommendations from sean ( our waiter) and ordered sweet and sour pork, spicy lamb kebob, beef kebob , and assorted vegetable with glass noodle. Our server came back frequently to check on our table. It was great experience overall. But only downside is that price is little bit too high. Other than that , food and service was excellent.“
“What can I say about Caesars that has not already been said. Well I fell like we only write reviews on bad experiences and I have been coming to this restaurant a few times a year for the last 40 years. I want to say my first time was around Oct of 1984 if my memory serves me correctly and we keep coming back to this place because of the consistency. I have seen multiple updates to the restaurant in this time I really the family that has run this place and last night I swear that one of the older gentleman helping out last night he one of the original owners from my childhood even though I believe his kids took over the restaurant years ago. Now let’s talk about the food. The food has been delicious every time I have come and the side bar of extra food has changed many times over the years but still has that old nostalgic feeling. This place will always be a family establishment and I will always continue to be a supporter. To the people with the disrespectful comments. Give it another try during the day or night before 8pm to have one of the best dinning experience. They have been here for many years for a reason and a bad review can hurt this family establishment.“
“Food and service were excellent. We've been here many times and came again tonight for my daughter's birthday. I wish now I'd taken photos of the plates to share but we couldn't wait to eat. The owner/manager/waitress is Vivian and I recommend this restaurant, especially if you plan to dine in.“
“We ordered food for 12 people .Party tray chicken fried rice, veg chow mein, salt and pepper chicken, beef and broccoli, salt and pepper squid and general chicken.Everyone loved everything. I loved the noodles. I was hoping for some crispy chow mein but they do it differently and it was very tasty. Prob my fav thing.Will be ordering from here again when we are in town!“

“Adorable servers Oscar, Annabella, and Andrea, especially, just adorable. Best Pick Up Stix from here (Huntington Beach) to San Diego, in my experience, and I've been to most of them! Love the energy in there! (Love the Firecracker Chicken! Yum!)“
“A great spot for celebrating Valentine’s Day or any fun occasion! 10/10 recommend the Chang for Two menu. Our server, David, was great! He was humble, efficient, personable, and checked on us regularly to see if we needed anything. He also provided helpful recommendations from the menu. He was very enthusiastic about the chocolate cake, so how on earth could we resist? Sooo glad we took him up on it!!! Cake was fantastic ?Thanks, P.F. Chang’s!!“
“I was in the area viewing apartments, so I decided to locate a new pho place. This place is spacious, pretty quiet so I enjoyed that. I ordered the steak and brisket pho, I have to start by saying this was the BEST brisket I’ve had in a pho. It was not fatty at all, and super tender but not dry!If you follow me on here, you know the type of pho I like. This one was clean and packed a little flavor. I wouldn’t say it’s the best I’ve had, but the brisket was unmatched. The noodles were fresh and intact too. — On the downside, I ordered the salt & pepper shrimp, but I didn’t like it. I ate one, and they still charged me for it. Not the best customer service I’d prefer, and they asked me about it. So I just thought they’d take care of me. Anyway, I’d go back for the pho if I’m in the area. Also, I want to try the fried rice based off the pics.“
“Hit the spot!! I was craving some tofu and decided to order from Lantern Garden. I ordered the country style tofu, and a couple other meals for the week. I got the shrimp fried rice, country style tofu, and kung pao shrimp. I skipped the appetizers and just went with entrees. The country style tofu was good. I love the firm tofu! Yummy. I enjoyed the shrimp fried rice too. That was really good and the shrimps in that were cooked perfectly. The kung pao shrimp definitely had some heat to it, but it was still good. Overall, all 4 of the entrees I ordered came out good. I love that they have a happy hour special on door dash!“

“After visiting the wine bar, we ventured to this restaurant for the first time. Nestled in downtown Fullerton, it's just a short walk from Twisted Vine, where we initially gathered with old friends from Southern California. Eager to continue our conversation in a Korean-style setting, we opted for beer and Korean appetizers. A pitcher of Asahi beer accompanied by Salt & Pepper deep-fried pork (돼지 탕수육) and Wontons with Chili Sauce hit the spot, all recommended by our friendly waiter. Despite the slight chill on the outside patio, they promptly turned on the heater for us, ensuring our comfort as we savored the atmosphere, cuisine, and service during our 40 years of friendship celebration.“
“Upon walking in, you'll most likely get a whiff of the hot butter from the sizzling plates from diners. If they have their doors open, it's most likely due to the dining room being smokey from the plates. They offer a variety of meal options but I think they're mostly known for their sizzling plates and beef dishes.Our group had the com bo luc lac (shaken beef with rice), com suon cuu nuong sot bo toi (lamb chops with garlic butter sauce and rice), and com ribeye sot bo toi (ribeye with garlic butter sauce and rice). Even though we ordered all dishes with the red rice, there were other options to choose such as white rice, fries or bread. I'm not exactly sure what's in the red rice to even describe it. I wasn't a big fan of the red rice but to all their own.The lamb chops and ribeye were presented on a sizzling plate with a side salad with vinegarette dressing. Lamb chops were tender and ribeye lacked flavor. The star of the meal was the bo luc lac. It was also tender, shaken with plenty of sauce, and had chunks of garlic. It was absolutely delicious! The plate also had a side of watercress and onions that complimented the dish well. It was so good, our table had to order another. Portion-wise, I'd say it's a single serving. You may not want to share it with how delicious it is.Service was great, too. Now, I saw another reviewer mention this, so I will too. Just FYI, their drinks are served in small styrofoam cups. They do charge $0.50 for water. It's not a deal breaker but I guess some people may not like it. I'm assuming it's the charge for the cup itself.“
“Fantastic orange peel chicken, vegetable egg rolls, and mushu chicken! The curry was ok, but I'll try something different next time. Portion sizes are great. My one suggestion to the restaurant is that the mushu should include 4 wraps and not just 2. I definitely recommend this restaurant!“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this spacious Dim Sum restaurant. With its ample seating and numerous tables, it's perfect for gatherings of any size. Good variety of Dim Sum selections as well as regular menu options, each plate bursting with flavor and priced reasonably between $5 to $8. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast or lunch, the service is quick, allowing you to savor your meal without rushing. The parking lot in front of the restaurant is huge, it looked pretty busy all the time. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and would highly recommend it for a satisfying meal any time of day.“

“I highly recommend you try this place...OMG everything was spectacular!! Crab Wonton's, Californian Rolls, Walnut Shrimp & Charbroiled Lobster! My mouth is still watering and I am stuffed!! Best dinner in Huntington Beach by far!! Our Servers Michelle & David were the best!! What's a great dinner, THANK YOU SO MUCH!“
“I was surprised to see a Sichuan restaurant in Garden Grove of all places. Heck, it might even be the only one in the city. Food was very good and the service was even better. The waiter/cashier definitely deserves a mention for how attentive he was. Overall, it's comparable to Rowland Heights/Irvine places.“
“We've been going her since the 80's. Best Chinese food in town. Going to miss the place when they close all the business in that center for some new construction. I hope they re-open somewhere else. We love all the staff, food & simple ambiance ?“
“Half veggies half chow mein with Kung Pao chicken. You cannot go wrong with this combination. I miss the Hot and Sour soup there. The new natural juice drinks are a great touch for those who want to steer clear from high fructose fountain soft drinks.Vegetarian options: The veggies side dish includes any combination of stir fried cabbage, Kale, Broccoli, onions, and squash can be ordered with chow mein for satisfying vegetarian serving.“
