“I had to come change my review. During todays visit, Ivette counted piece by piece the amount of pieces she put on my plate. Its unreasonable the little amount of food I got on my plate. I eat panda often from different locations, so its so obvious that I didnt get a fair serving today.“

“My fiance and I have been coming here for a while now and we absolutely love it ! Our guy Kevin is the BEST! He always welcomes us with the friendliest smile and truly cares about our experience here ! We not only come back for the good food but for Kevin he really just makes this place great ! Thanks Kevin for all you do !“

“I’ve been craving Mongolian Bbq for a while but haven’t really explored. Saw this place with good ratings and must say, the ratings didn’t lie! It’s a cosy hole in the wall place which you know that means it’s good. Staff are very friendly and attentive, explaining the menu and how this roll. I got the all you can eat with my boyfriend, it was so much food! I will absolutely come again and I will highly recommend this place to friends!“

“We came for Sunday dinner with our 2.5yo toddler (part of the Irvine Company kids eat free special). Our server Yazzie was very accommodating and patient with all of our spills and messes. We were seated within 5-10 minutes. Everyone at this location was very friendly and in good moods. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and would come back in a heartbeat during the kids eat free season (other times during the year it’s just much easier to eat at home with a toddler haha).“

“Haidilao Hot Pot was a very great place for dinner. The service was very quick, employees were patient and respectful. Our server Jacob asked to reopen their kitchen just to make us some dessert even though it was after hours. He also gave us a complimentary food option in case they weren't able to make the dessert for us. The service is unbelievably nice. I would come again for dinner.“

“I have been coming here for a long time. I have tried a few different dishes & every one was wonderful. But I moved to Anaheim a year ago. So I don't get to come here as often. But when I do I always get the Moo Shoo Pork with extra pancakes. The staff is ALWAYS happy to see me. They are so friendly. It's a great place for take out or a great place to bring the family along Either way you won't be disappointed.i highly recommend if you are in the area to go there?“

however, the quality tastes like $40+
their drinks are amazing as well, I really love it, definitely reconmand to ppl who haven't try. totally should try this place“

“Absolutely fantastic food! I arrived in the morning for lunch, and everything was made fresh to order. The flavors were delicious, and the quality really stood out. My only suggestion would be to offer slightly larger portions, but other than that, it’s both budget-friendly and worth every penny.

The staff are amazing I witnessed them kindly assisting a senior citizen with his order, which truly made me smile and reminded me that compassion still exists in the world. That alone speaks volumes about the heart of this place.

I definitely recommend this establishment!“

“I don’t claim to be a connoisseur in Asian cuisine. I do like fresh, variety, spices, sauces and appreciate courteous efficient service. My second visit. Was not disappointed. The wait to be seated is long. Would not have waited but one person in our group was visiting from out of state and insisted.“

“This place is the Bomb!!!! They are open really late & it’s completely delicious! When I need something and nothing else is open! They are always there! I always get the “Spicy mixed Shredded Chicken bowl & a Crispy Pancake”! I encourage to not only try that, but one of the many other selections!!! Thank you Erin!!!! 😋🎇🙏🏼💯“

“I was trying to find an old restaurant I used to visit for great Jjajangmyeon, and although this wasn’t the exact place I remembered, I was very satisfied.
They served a small egg soup as a welcome dish — warm, light, and comforting on an empty stomach.
During lunch time, I tried the stir-fried vegetables, which were fresh and perfectly seasoned without being too salty.
I also liked that they offered small-size bowls of Jjajangmyeon — just right for a light meal.
Everything tasted great, and I definitely recommend visiting this place!“

“I usually take out/delivery and this place is really good. It's a small business so it makes me feel good to support the community. You cannot go wrong with the Chinese food here at all. I also appreciate the variety of Chinese food available here, its not just orange chicken, but they have shrimp, pork, and fish dishes. Even the boba is really good and nice and chewy. Don't skip the boba here either.“

“Excellent service and presentation from the servers to the owners acting as MC. Very organized. I'm impressed. I would recommend to do your event here.“

“OC Friends - looking for an amazing new Chinese food place or longing for a place to bring you food better than the long lost Yen Ching? Look no further than Royal Wok Orange. Ordered: Egg drop soup Cream cheese wontons Egg rolls Beef chew mein Honey walnut shrimp ORANGE CHICKEN❤️ Chicken fried Rice THEY KILLED IT!“

“First time here and we loved everything about it. Service is great, food was delicious from sizzling soup , salt and pepper fish, scallops with black bean sauce to fried banana with ice cream.
Really enjoyed it.
Will come back soon“

“I came to visit my fiance, she took me to pick up sticks on Fairview and MacArthur. We had a wonderful experience. Great food and an amazing staff. The staff were super helpful and accommodating to our kids. I would highly recommend you visiting for good food with great people.“

“Delicioso 🤤, el restaurante favorito de toda la familia.“

“I tried Yangguofu Mala Tang and honestly it’s such a fun, customizable dining experience.

You grab a huge bowl and walk along the ingredient bar filling it with whatever you’re craving. There are tons of veggies, noodles, tofu options, seafood, and meats, so it’s easy to mix and match. Once you’re done, they weigh your bowl and you pay by the pound, which makes it feel fair and totally in your control.

After that, you choose your broth. You can go classic, mild, or full spicy mala depending on your heat tolerance. They cook everything fresh and bring it out steaming hot, and the flavors really soak into all the ingredients.

I also loved the drink selection. They have so many options to pair with the spice, which makes the whole experience even better.

Overall, it’s a great spot if you like interactive meals and want something different from traditional hot pot. Perfect for groups since everyone can build exactly what they want. 🌶️“

“The first time I went here I would give it 5 stars. I went between lunch and dinner so it was quiet and calm. The food and service was amazing. The fooooodddd yum yum yum. However in my later visits the food has not been so amazing. Still good but not super super delicious.
If you go when it's busy, it can be chaotic in there. But it's cuz it's a small place and it's popular.
The staff is always friendly and attentive though.“

“We were excited to try this as Singaporeans! This chicken rice has about 85% similarity to authentic Singaporean chicken rice. The chicken is super soft and flavorful, the rice is the right taste too. The sauces are different, however - thai sweet chilli, 90% similar dao you, and a salty ginger paste.

We were served by a friendly young man with great attitude. Overall, will be back for the chicken rice!“

“It funny, the name made us think it was like a yoshinoya. But it is not. Have been here several times since writing this. Wonderful sit down and dine spot for good Chinese food. Our go to is the orange chicken and mongolian beef. We also enjoy the hot and sour soup and their chicken fried rice. The staff is very attentive and kind. I also like the calm piano music they play as well. This has become our chinese food spot. I Highly reccomend it.“

“The food was delicious and the service was great! The restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend!“

“A Culinary Gem in the Heart of Westminster - BAOS HOG Review Stepping into BAOS HOG, you're immediately welcomed by a fusion of contemporary decor and inviting ambiance. This small, yet noteworthy establishment stands out in Westminster for its innovative approach to bao buns, often known as "baos." Each bao is a masterpiece, with the Hog special possibly being the star of the show. The pork is succulent and flavorful, indicative of the care in preparation. Accompanied by crisp, fresh vegetables and a secret sauce that adds an unexpected but delightful kick, it's a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. Beyond the baos, the menu is an eclectic mix, suggesting influences from various cuisines, a bold move that seems to pay off. The drinks selection complements the food, with both traditional options and more unique offerings, indicating that the proprietors are aficionados seeking to provide a full culinary experience. Service is efficient and warm.“

“Good Chinese food with family or friends“

“I have traveled night and day for A Chinese restaurant that reminded me of home. No it’s only was the service so fast but everyone here is so kind. This is a place where community is really brought together. I have been in dire need of a good egg drop soup in this place was it! The orange chicken is so good, I will be, regular here once a month!“

“This is the best Chinese food you'll ever have. The ingredients are fresh, the service is great, and the good prices are not compromised by quality.
The chow mein is excellent, the kung pow and orange chicken, crisp and flavorful, but mostly importantly the house chicken is divine.

Do yourself a favor and steer clear from other Chinese places a few blocks from here and come to Baby Panda.“

“Fresh and tasty food. We usually do take-out.“

“I recently tried Show Hotpot and was blown away by the quality of their broth!
The MalaTang here is genuinely the best I’ve had, it’s so rich and flavorful that, for the first time, I finished the entire bowl.
The atmosphere and service were also great, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.
Highly recommend Show Hotpot for any hotpot lover, especially if you’re a fan of MalaTang!“

“Good taste, cheap price, great portions. What more can you ask for in a Chinese restaurant? Especially when you’re craving some take out for the family or for yourself. This is a go to spot for me and my family. I highly recommend this place to anyone, the staff are very kind and hard working. I always see the same people working here all the time, this small business deserves more love!“

“When I first tried this place, I came back several times because the food was simple, authentic,“

“Our first time here. This place is a hidden gem! We were in the mood for some Chinese takeout out and this spot exceeded our expectations! We had the orange chicken and another chicken sorry I don't know what it is called but everything was delicious. We came close to closing and the food was still 🔥🔥. The Mings (Aunties) were super friendly. 🙏🏽 Orkun“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“This has become my go-to canteen-style Chinese restaurant in Irvine — I literally know the menu by heart at this point! My coworkers and I often come here for dinner after work, and everything always hits the spot.

⭐ Grilled Skewers: Don’t underestimate their BBQ! It’s hard to find good skewers in Irvine, but these are legit — juicy, smoky, sizzling when they arrive. Must-tries: lamb skewers, chicken cartilage, and wings. I also love their nostalgic Chinese-style sausage (淀粉肠) — so good!

⭐ Stir-Fried Dishes: I’ve pretty much tried them all and none disappoint. Every dish has real wok hei (that smoky “breath of the wok”). Favorites: scallion beef, fish-flavored eggplant, and sweet & sour ribs (tastes like Hong Kong-style “sweet-sour pork”). Perfect with a bowl of rice.

⭐ Mini Hot Pot: No explanation needed — go for the spicy beef or golden soup beef pot. Big portions, packed with flavor, and super satisfying.

⭐ Chicken Soup Noodles: I order this every single time. The broth is rich and flavorful, with tender poached chicken and plenty of veggies. Comforting and delicious!

⭐ Dessert Discovery: Tried their Mango Sago Lava Bun for the first time — so good! Warm, creamy mango-coconut filling with chewy coconut bits. Not too sweet, just perfect (but be careful, it’s hot inside!).

The menu is huge — from northern to southern Chinese dishes — and everything we’ve tried has been great. The cold appetizers are also worth exploring. We came with five people, ordered a full table, and still had leftovers. Around $25 per person — definitely qualifies as an “Irvine Canteen” spot in my book!“

“Orange Blossom Chinese Restaurant is a good solid choice for a satisfying meal. The portions are generous, making it easy to leave full, the missus left with leftovers. The appetizers that come with the dinner meals are a nice touch—fresh, flavorful, and a great way to start off. The prices are budget-friendly, great value for the quality and portion sizes. The atmosphere was another plus. It’s quiet and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy your conversation without loud background noise.“

“When I visited, the place was buzzing with Chinese grandmas and grandpas enjoying the dim sum deals, which I took as a very good sign! I ordered the fish congee: generous portion, rich flavour, and super filling. I have to say it’s a steep price for what’s traditionally a humble, comfort-food breakfast. However, a good experience overall.“

“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.“

“While almost everything was closed on Christmas Day, this restaurant was open, and we were so grateful. We stopped by to order food because, let’s be honest—we love tamales and pozole, but after a while you want to change your palate and have something that’s not Mexican.
It was really nice of them to stay open for the holiday and offer takeout for everyone. Even though there were probably only two or three people cooking and taking orders, they were incredibly kind, patient, and professional. I truly appreciate them being open on a holiday.
The wait was long, but it was absolutely worth it. The food was delicious! We ordered sweet and sour chicken, beef with broccoli, chow fun noodles, BBQ pork, and vegetable egg rolls—and everything was amazing.“

“This place is super convenient for work trips. It's right next to my office!“

“Very family style, large portion and authentic Chinese food featuring various Chinese food options. The cold dishes are good choices.

You sit yourself, choose from the menu, and order from the front. They will deliver food for you. You may need to get your own utensils at very busy times.

Portion size may be too large for 2 people, so expect to get a take out box (or get your own box).“

“This place serves incredibly delicious Northern Chinese cuisine! The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and every dish has that comforting, home-style taste. The highlight, though, is definitely their signature sesame sweet pancake. It’s made fresh to order and comes out perfectly warm and crispy—so flaky it practically falls apart at the touch. The light sweetness paired with the rich sesame aroma makes it absolutely irresistible. Overall, a fantastic dining experience, and I’m already planning to come back!“

“Muy buena la comida 🥘y el servicio“

“Mama Lu Dumpling House is truly a standout spot for dumpling lovers. It can be a little easy to miss from the outside since it’s tucked into a strip mall (near CVS and Meet Fresh), but once you find it, it’s absolutely worth it.

The handmade dumplings are consistently fresh and packed with flavor. The juicy pork and chive dumplings are always a favorite, and the xiao long bao come out perfectly steamed with rich, savory broth inside. Every bite tastes authentic and comforting. The noodle dishes bring that warm, homestyle flavor that makes you feel like you’re enjoying a meal in Shanghai.

The space itself is spacious and great for larger groups. The ambiance is simple and no-frills, but that just adds to its charm — the focus is clearly on the food. Service is attentive and efficient, even when the restaurant gets busy, and the staff is great about making recommendations.“

“Awesome place unless you know it’s there in shopping center you might miss it! Visiting from Texas and a family member brought me here! Omg fantastic portion size, Awesome Service, and outstanding Taste/Flavor Explosion 💥! I would have uploaded a photo but by the time I thought of it, my serving was finished ! Definitely plan on visiting again before departure ✈️“

“It's Chinese food and really good for items not all sauced up like other places that hide what the food actually tastes like. The best dish is the 2 item combo it's a lot of food. Orange Chicken, Fire Grilled Chicken, half-half(Fried Rice and Chow Mein. The Chow Mein and Rice were not oily or covered in sauce either. This is O.C.'s best fast food Chinese restaurant, much better than that black and white bear place. 🙄...🤣“

“Gotta say the portions are generous which I am a huge fan of. The pricing on the 3 item combo is fair. The quality of the meats is actually really good. Nothing is dry or stale. I will definitely be coming back for more.

My only complaint is the variety of protein choices. I wish it had a few more options but regardless of that it's definitely worth the visit.“
