“I don’t know why this place is anything but 5 stars. It’s a really good, classic Chinese food restaurant. Everything is fresh and has good flavor. The restaurant is nice so it’s good for a casual date night, as well as getting take out/delivery. My husband and I order from there a lot and it’s consistently good. Their mushuu chicken, egg flower soup, and garlic beef (asked to be made not spicy for us) are some of our favorites.“

“Great experience! The orange chicken was outstanding—crispy and flavorful, just the way I love it. The chow mein was fresh, light, and refreshing, providing a nice balance to the meal. Even the plain rice was surprisingly good, considering its simplicity. The food was all freshly made and piping hot. Service was efficient; there was a short wait in line, but it was worth it. Overall, everything exceeded expectations, and I'll definitely be coming back!“

“My husband and I stopped at this Panda Express on our way to Costco. We will be stopping here now every time we do a Costco run in FV. The staff was very friendly and courteous and every employee was wearing a mask. The food was incredibly fresh and tasted great. You could see in the open kitchen all the food was being stored and cooked hygienically and at a constant pace for the upcoming lunch hour. The restaurant was impeccably clean (including the bathrooms) and the atmosphere was comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. This was a great experience that has earned two new loyal repeat customers.“

“I got the Kung Pao Chicken Bowl with fried rice via the drive thru window. I've never seen a drive thru at a Chinese takeout until now. There should be more! The food was good for the price. I love the kung pao sauce soaking up the rice but with it soaked up more than 1/3 of the rice. The chicken is tasty and tender.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“Amazing food! Very authentic and great tastes. Cold noodles are delicious and will transport you back to Shaanxi.

The incessant doorbell and loud clatter throughout the restaurant is excessive, but everything else is pretty great.“

“BETTER THAN DIN TAI FUNG!
Nobody can beat Paradise Dynasty's Xiao Long Baos. Nobody.
Their xiao long bao variety is very unique and all are extremely tasty. I was so shocked that they had chicken xiao long bao. I have only tried chicken xiao long bao from Trader Joe's and a small place in Chinatown in NY but none of them were as good as the chicken xiao long baos here. I am apalled at how they're able to create a xiao long bao with chicken without it having a raw smell or cartilage mixed in. And the best part? The soup inside. Wow.

The only thing I want to complain about is the fact that they changed their xiao long bao sauce a while back and now it's more sweet than sour. I used to love their sauce but the new one is not my favorite. Also now they don't even give you xiao long bao sauce unless you ask for it for takeout so make sure to ask for xlb sauce and ginger.

Since everyone likes to compare PD with Din Tai Fung, I can say that PD is definitely better. I've had DTF twice in the past, yes twice, to make sure that the first time wasn't just a bad day for the chefs, and it was horrible both times. DTF is not authentic asian cuisine, it caters to western people. As a Chinese/Taiwanese American I have to say that PD takes the cake and will always be better than DTF.

My favorite dishes are the Chicken xiao long bao, sauteed pea shoots, hot&sour noodle soup, sweet & sour fish, and spicy wood ear mushrooms. Our server Hendry was amazing on Christmas Eve!!“

“This place is a gem! The food is truly authentic and even better than Din Tai Fung. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and served piping hot. The service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and quick. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious Taiwanese cuisine!“

“I come here every year for my birthday. The service is great and the mushroom soup is my absolute favorite. Super fun definitely recommend.

Dietary restrictions: I’m allergic to a lot of things and ive never had an issue with it“

“Good food and staff. They always do a good job and fast.“

“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!“

“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?“

“Do not sleep on this food!

I’m a foodie and this was no disappointment. We ordered Dan Dan noodles, Orange Chicken, Juicy Pork Dumplings, and broccoli beef. All were so tasty and so incredibly fresh; one of the best new additions in Huntington Beach period. Normally I’m hesitant to order orange chicken because it always seems to be a disappointment but this Orange chicken was actually the best I’ve ever had.

Next time I will definitely be ordering chili beef, green beans and pan fried dumplings as they looked amazing. If this place continues to stay consistent with quality and freshness, it will be non-stop busy.

Not the most amazing atmosphere. It’s somewhat cold feeling and doesn’t have a stylish vibe like din tai fung but the food is worth the visit.“

“It's the same as the best Chinese restaurant in town when I was a child. This is the only place where you can enjoy the same atmosphere and taste as you remember. I really, really love this restaurant.

Rajogi, scorched rice, black bean noodles, jjamppong, and noodles are all so delicious.“

“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.“

“I had a positive experience here. My first time to order, the girl at the counter was nice and patient with me to explain everything and let me try couple of items for taste.
Black menu is for already prepared items and white menu is made to order.
Food was very tasty.
I ordered 3 item dish from black menu that came with noodles, steam white rice, spicy chicken, beef and broccoli and jalapeno chicken.
Hot and sour soup
White menu item chicken and broccoli
My only one problem is that they either they forgot to give me steam rice with chicken and broccoli or if it comes additional cost then please specify that on your menu. Not having any rice to eat my chicken and broccoli was not pleasant.“

“Very satisfied regular customer; my go-to for exceptionally good Chinese. The menu is based on foods found in Northeast China, and to be honest, standard American Chinese is bland to me after eating this...

Delicious, hot, fresh and made to order... I get delivery or takeout whenever I'm in town (they have curbside pick-up).

The veggie grilled cold noodle is one of my favorite foods (I add enoki mushrooms, grilled onions and cheese). Veggie pancake also delicious - both of these entrees are so much better than the description reads, I tried them because I read a review that said they are a must-have, so now I'm telling you that you must try them!

Masala salad (for veggie lovers who want a little broth), instant noodles, and veggie hot pot are all great.

The spices for the hot pot are a real zinger; be sure to add a note during checkout if you selected "mild".

The owner is very personable, she recognizes my name and makes certain my order is prepared the way I like it, even after being away for months (and I always look forward to returning). Reach out if there's a problem with your order, she's eager to correct it.

So grateful they're open until 3am and if more quality restaurants had these hours, it would be so much easier as a night owl to eat healthy!

I seriously ate here two days in a row when I first found it... I couldn't help myself! A close friend is Chinese, and I can't wait for him to visit and be impressed.

Look for the sign that says "TACOS" - they share their entrance with other restaurants and that marks the spot.

Vegetarian options: Veggie grilled cold noodle, masala salad, veggie pancake, instant noodle, veggie hot pot“

“I recently held my wedding at Diamond Seafood Palace earlier this month, and I can’t say enough good things about their accommodations, service, and attention to detail. Their team and staff went above and beyond, exceeding not just my expectations, but those of my family and guests as well. To this day, everyone is still raving about the night, and I’m thrilled it was as unforgettable for them as it was for me.

A special thanks to Diamond’s events team for making my day truly extraordinary. Their exceptional organization made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. If you’re searching for a wedding venue in Orange County, stop looking—Diamond Palace is the perfect choice. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I love coming to this location! All the workers are friendly, professional and always put the customer first. Especially the manager, Gloria, who greets everyone with a warm smile, goes above and beyond and takes pride in what she does. They maintain a clean and friendly environment that I can bring my family to. Definitely will continue coming here!“

“Been coming here for over 15 years. Great selection of dishes prepared with consistent flavors and fast service. Never had a bad meal in anything I've tried, although the curry could be kicked up a notch. Staff is attentive and friendly. Prices are very reasonable to portions served. Hard to beat the lunch deals too! Their hot & sour soup is the best around. Often have the large bowl with a side of brown rice as a lunch meal.

Vegetarian options: Several dishes on the dinner menu that are vegetable based and you can request a protein, including tofu, of your liking.“

“Food was great! I was apprehensive about the quality of food until we ate here. I had the wonton soup but everyone else had combo meals. The rice and lo mein were great. So was the orange and kong pao chicken. Great prices and customer service.“

“Recommendation: Eat here
First time at this location.

Value: fair - $106 with tip
Food was good. Fashion Island kicks the prices up for everything.
- Pork egg rolls - 3.5/5
These were good, but didn’t think the value was there. I only ate one of the four. Needed more to make a better judgement.
- Chang’s chicken lettuce wraps - 5/5
Have had these before. Highly recommend. Wished there was more sauce. Purchased the appetizer.
- Crispy Honey Chicken - 4/5
Three of our party ordered this. Everyone ate every bite. Nothing left on the plates. Though, I didn’t feel it reached the night of a perfect score. It was a solid good, but not great.

Service: fair / good

Atmosphere: fair / good
Felt like upholstery was on the older side. We could also see the kitchen from our seats. Not in a good way, it was like we were looking at the workings of a more common grill.“

“Stopped by on a weeknight and found the restaurant relatively full but I get it!

The restaurant itself is open and clean. The service is fast and friendly. Given so many people I was happily surprised how quickly the food came and how attentive the service was.

The food, honestly, loved it! The portions are a good size. The flavors are spot on. They offer a grilled menu after 5pm, which is fun to eat!“

“**Min Chef Review**

Min Chef is amazing! The food is super tasty, with fresh ingredients and flavors that really hit the spot. Every dish feels like it’s made with care, and the specials are always a treat. The service is awesome too—everyone is friendly and makes sure you’re taken care of. It's one of those places where you feel right at home. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or celebrating something special, Min Chef never disappoints. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!

5/5 ⭐“

“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!“

“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!“

“The taste is not bad, the little boy who takes the order is not bad, but the other services are really not good. I ordered a lot and didn't even have a bowl. I asked a question and a woman gave me a stiff answer and washed it away. . . No apology at all for not providing the cutlery that should have been provided. I wasn't even drunk until I finished eating. . . The restaurants in Irvine are so popular, I’m really not afraid of them, they’re pretty awesome.

Parking: There is no ground floor, you can go underground, there are many places“

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

“This is one of my favorite restaurants, I've been going there for years.The food is just super, from the appetizers to the main dishes nothing has ever disappointed. When I walk through the door they know what I want to start off with and will occasionally recommend a new dish.“

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

“First visit with a friend who has been there multiple times and is one of her favorites. Ordered Walnut Shrimp, MaPo Tofu, Sautéed Eggplant, "A" Vegetable, Hot Chili Pepper Whole Fish. All dishes were delicious. My only disappointment was the amount of fish ratio to the price. Extensive menu and looking forward to returning to try other dishes.“

“Looking for that American Style Chinese food you remember when you were growing up? The one with the zodiac placemats and the Po Po Platter? Minus the place mats this is the spot. I celebrated my 48th birthday there today and couldn't be happier. The waitress was so nice. Couldn't have asked for a better early dinner.“

“Service was friendly and incredibly fast, but the restaurant only had a few people in it. Food was good but the glaze used was too strong, the taste of soy sauce covered the filet mignon and the garlic noodles too much. Glad I got to try this place, I'd come back to test their Pho and Dim Sum.“

“Good Chinese food with family or friends“

“Mama Lu Dumpling House is an absolute gem for dumpling lovers! The handmade dumplings are always fresh and bursting with flavor, especially the juicy pork and chive and xiao long bao that arrive perfectly steamed and full of delicious broth. The scallion pancakes are crispy and not too greasy, while the noodle dishes bring authentic, comforting flavors that make you feel like you're in the heart of Shanghai. The ambiance is no-frills, but it only adds to the charm, and the staff is attentive and efficient even during busy hours. If you’re craving authentic Chinese dumplings and noodles, Mama Lu is a must-visit!“

“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.“

“Had a Christmas night dinner here and the place got extremely busy, but the staff was able to manage everything on point!! The food is absolutely fantastic, love it and highly recommending this restaurant! Beef roll and cucumber salad with chilly sauce definitely hit the spot! Mala premium beef soup must try!“

“The food here is SO good. But, they have messed up my order twice now with giving me my sides and they don’t give me all that I order. I ordered chow main, fried rice, and egg rolls and none of it was received. I called them and let them know I’m disabled and can’t come in to return my food and they told me to leave a note in my order to prevent this from happening again. Food is delicious so I keep coming back and I’m grateful they exist.

Vegetarian options: Amazing vegetarian and vegan selection. I get kung pao tofu, fried rice, chow main, hot and sour soup, and egg rolls are all a must!!!“

“It was my first time going to this restaurant and I was surprised to see Jjambbong served. First of all, the portion was large, the noodles were chewy, and the soup was like a thick jjamppong soup.
The downside was that the soup was too hot and there was too much of it, but I ate it well.“

“Wow 🤩 just found a phenomenal local BBQ master and SHE, yes SHE is definitely The Smoke Queen!! Absolutely melt in your mouth delicious, will definitely order again! Let’s support local and small businesses like such.“

“I’ve been coming to China King, do not remember that was the original name back in 1994 when I started going there. We would always get a chow mein fried rice, orange chicken, and the spicy chicken. I came yesterday with my nephew for my mother‘s birthday. We got three trays of the spicy chicken and three small containers of chow mein. Food is very delicious and fresh Mr. David, which is the cook is very kind, always happy, smiling always greeting everybody and is polite to his employees, he gave us some popsicles yesterday.
I told the lady at the register that we came from L.A. and she said do they not have Chinese food over there? And I told her yes but we just come here just for the spicy chicken. She said she started working there about little under a year and a half ago. Great value for this delicious and fresh food. I need to come one day and take some to my dad.“

“Older lady skimps the plates sometimes and I expect to get big portions when I come home from work starving and stay loyal to them. I avoid every other Chinese spot on the way home which there’s a lot and come here cause I’m loyal to them. I’ve been here since the two sisters back in the days, I miss them sisters
I remember I would be able to feed me and my girlfriend at the time with one plate maybe they just had love for us cause it was just every other day but let me tell you them plates were fat. I couldn’t even close the lid.

Ps.. Josh Will somewhere down there in the reviews your just a hater there Food is the best In? County“

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

“Eating here is kind of a unique experience. When we made reservations they asked us to order the food in advance. We ordered the coconut chicken hot pot (椰子鸡锅
), and braised beef daikon. The 椰子鸡锅 dish was interesting as it had coconut water, coconut meat strips, jujubes, and chicken on the bone we had to cook. They also were very particular where they told us to eat the chicken and broth first, then add the lettuce and cabbage.

The braised beef daikon dish was also quite delicious. Looking at the clientele around, it seems like the go to Cantonese style food in the area.“

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

“Overall good. But I’m not impressed with their non spicy food. The baby back rib is bland and need more flavor. The sour pickle dish soup ( non spicy ) is sour and tasteless. And the Dungeness crab is meatless. I like their spicy flavor a lot though.“

“What an outstanding place to have lunch or dinner. They offer a senior discount and when you walk in the door they greet you like you are family. I don't live very close to them but when I'm in town I always stop there.
Great job Jumbo “

“The staff was very polite at this precise locationI was very impressed, the manager is very kind. The location is very smooth running and rapid food turnout time.Also very delicious food, great seasoning. Almost forget you are at a chain restaurant.Very fresh meat and rice. This was also my first time trying Pickupsticks !Will be back to this location as I saved it as one of my favorites.Fire starts for sure“
