50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Fountain Valley

“valuable, set lunch very good. especially Chai Siu Fired rice, homemade Chao Siu is really taste good.“

“Our family go to for years! Best prices, delicious food, and very very generous portions! We have used them to cater birthday parties and more. So easy to work with and they take both cash and credit (with a slight fee for using credit). Go to is the house chicken, coconut shrimp, bbq pork, string beans, and the orange chicken. Be prepared to wait, I went around 5:30 on a Friday and it took about 30 mins and line was out the door. If that doesn’t tell you how delicious and amazing the place is I don’t know what more convincing you need.“

“Its a pleasantly surprise food experience. We like its fusion taste.
My husband wanted to try this restaurant just because he likes it largefolded front door LOL. I didnt want to because I heard not so good reviews from my co-worker. 3rd time the charm, I decided to fulfill his wish :).
Its Chinese but with a little Vietnamese twist and so food is not too oily. I really like their Szechuan chili oil, their side sauce. The tingling sensation it left on your tastebud but not too overwhelming is a nice add to your dishes. Chasiu is a tad sweeter what you think chasiu taste should be. Its seasoning by maple syrup, light soy sauce, miso made it sweet, but what I like is its smokiness and lightly salted. Fried rice is fragrant and soft. The salted egg lava bao was really good, but it could be better if they could keep it warm like how other disum places do.
Overall, I would come back.“

“First time trying this place and the moment my boyfriend and I walked in, it smelled so good I already knew I was going to love it, I got their curry chicken, green beans, chow mien, and fried rice. And all of it was pretty satisfying I didn’t even need to add soy sauce or sriracha because the green beans made up for the spice. My boyfriend was also happy with his plate and actually finished his so knowing him to not leave leftovers it was that good 👍 really affordable too, don’t forget to walk in with cash because it is cash only
We will be coming back 😁“

“Praise YAHUAH the LORD and His Son Yahusha HaMashiach Messiah Jesus Christ and the Ruach HaKodesh Holy Spirit!!!

Fresh made to order.
Big portions.
If you like it salty, add say sauce or salt.

Very nice service!!“

“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.“

“Came here with a group of friends and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a chill night.

The variety of food is honestly impressive — from juicy, flavorful BBQ skewers to a really authentic bowl of Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles. The noodles were super fresh with great texture, and the broth had that deep, comforting flavor you’d expect.

The BBQ was definitely a highlight — well-seasoned, nicely grilled, and perfect to pair with drinks. They also have a lot of small plates that are great for sharing, which makes it ideal for hanging out, chatting, and just enjoying the night.

The vibe is relaxed and lively without being too loud, so you can actually have conversations while enjoying good food and drinks.

If you’re looking for a place to gather with friends, eat well, and stay for a while — this is a solid choice. Would definitely come back.“

“Genghis Khan Mongolian BBQ is literally the best I have ever had. I have been going here for years and it is one of my all time favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and the owners are amazing also.“

“Yazzie is a straight beast!!!! She was so on point and even remembered our order with out even writing it down. She was checking in on us at the right moments but not too much and made sure we were all ok. Thank you Yazzie you made us wanna come back!!!“

“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?“

“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 never give a restaurant 5, never.
Heard about this place, drove by it many times but there’s always a line. Today, I got lucky.
Staff friendly and attentive, atmosphere nice and food…wow!!
Crazy good. I wish I could go every day.
Guys, can’t be any better. Keep it up, I’ll be back.“

“This place is a Tustin icon. The food I great and the portions or stellar. I got the the combo B (half rice and half chow mien with orange chicken and pepper chicken) and it's enough food to last me two meals, and for 11 dollars. Service is great and everything is fresh. Definitely recommend for a quick bite.“

“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 has been in the community for decades and they’re well known for Korean owner but great, very decent reasonable prices and the black ink noodles. I had been to this place over 3 decades. Used to go here with my kid and/or with his friends & cousins. I also had through family Christmas for a group of 70 people. The place is big and can handle over 250 people easily with private rooms and common area. Parking is easy since they do have a good size of parking lot. Clean and simple but Chinese vibe for sure. The staff here are very nice, attentive, helpful and only guys (have not seen a woman beside the cashier or owner at the front desk). The menu has plenty & simple of typical Chinese or American/Chinese dishes. Don’t get me wrong, I like it and reminded me of the early years. Easy and fast turn around for sure. Tasty and nice portion, it’s not the best nor the worst but worth it for the price and yummy. This place used to be Packed all the time during lunch time or weekends & holiday. But it easy less these days. Took my kid and went here for late late lunch or very early dinner so just 3-4 tables but same taste, consistency and nice, warm service. So glad I stopped by, been a long time since I was here.“

“Our go-to restaurant when we are starving at night. Authentic Chinese street food with right-on-the-spot seasoning. Location is in a shared kitchen facility together with many other small businesses. Clear window showing their kitchen so you know all the food are made fresh for you. A must try place overall!“

“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.“

“I can’t say enough about Mimi’s Garden. Our family loved the experience. The food is delicious and inventive. The service was fantastic. And the ambience was beautiful. We spent a week in Newport Beach - and this was the best restaurant experience. Just great all around!“

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

“Ok, you must get down to Pik Up Stix on West MacArthur Boulevard! The food is incredible, the experience wonderful, and the most amazing thing about this place is the Manager, Jesus, truly, he is a gentleman as he goes “Above & Beyond” for each and every customer!

Get down here, YOU’LL LOVE IT!!!!

Thanks so kindly, Jesus, you
make this place “Magical”

“This is my favorite spot to go to! The food is spectacular and the staff is always helpful and efficient! It gets pretty busy so we usually make a reservation to avoid waiting too long. There are 2 areas for dining and a bar area. The food is consistently good every time and they keep checking on drinks for refills. The hot tea is always good too. My favorites are the won ton soup, egg fried rice and the sweet and sour chicken. It gets a little loud sometimes because it gets really busy but it's not too hard to hear each other talk“

“The freshly boiled bone broth here is legit, like super rich and full of depth. You can tell they don’t cut corners—just feels real. Flavor? Totally authentic, reminds me of Yunnan-style dishes I’ve had before. Prices are solid too, which is great for students like me trying to eat well without spending too much. Portions felt generous, and it’s just overall good value.“

“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. 🌶️“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I ordered the chicken leg meat with dipping sauces and broth. Honestly, the chicken was great on its own. I didn't care for any of the sauces. The rice was a bit salty but still good.

The setup felt a little odd. There was a loud speaker on loop reminding Uber and DoorDash drivers to pick up orders in the back. It was super annoying. I really think they would benefit from having a host instead of relying on that speaker.

That said, the place itself was cool, and I liked that you can order from several different shops all through the same kiosk.“

“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!“

“Really fun atmosphere, especially since they have live music on Saturdays.
My favorite dishes were the grilled chicken gizzard, perilla frog, and grilled garlic chives. The green tea beer was also very refreshing and paired well with the food.

The whole experience reminded me of the summers when I used to work on projects in northern China and go out for skewers and beer with coworkers. Definitely a memorable spot.“

“I've been going here for years! Now I take my granddaughters. They love it! Mike, Paul and Pauline treat us like family. My husband orders aromatic shrimp with walnuts, orders no glaze...he's diabetic. They always remember! I have several favorites: Mongolian Beef, Chicken with vegatables.
They have great lunch specials!“

“I had a great experience at Woktastic! Through my own negligence I dropped my order outside. I was able to salvage 1 order and I went back in with full intent of paying for another. Lovely lady at the counter asked what happened and without doubting my story immediately made me the same order without asking for payment. Truly went above and beyond! Will be a permanent spot in food rotation and highly recommend!“

“2/5/2026 = 10:30AM = 5 Star = 2nd time here , this time I order Combo B , for 2 item plate , I choose Pork BBQ and Chicken Teriyaki, so delicious 😋

“Good Chinese food with family or friends“

“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.“

“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!“

“Really enjoyed the malatang here. The broth has great flavor with a good balance of spice and numbness, and the ingredients taste fresh and clean. Portions are generous and pricing feels fair. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back and try different combinations. Overall a solid spot for malatang.“

“Loved the Golden Soup Beef Noodle here ！the soup was flavorful and the noodles were perfectly chewy. The Juicy Lamb Dumplings were a highlight too, really juicy and packed with flavor.

The sautéed bok choy with garlic was simple but super fresh and slightly sweet. Great balance with the richer dishes. Definitely a solid spot for noodles and dumplings in Irvine.“

“Had the best food at Smoke Queen Barbecue: the tri tip, chicken, sausage, ribs, and delicious sides were all fall off the bone fantastic. Try the sesame slaw with spicy cucumbers, macaroni and cheese and fries. We loved the banana pudding, bread pudding, beers on tap, all with a great smile and playground to enjoy with our family. If you haven’t tried Smoke Queen Barbecue, you are missing out. So scrumptious!“

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

“Atmosphere is fun, service is great and some of the best priced cocktails in this part of town (under $10).

The food…it’s PF Chang’s: a bit better than Panda Express, but maybe it’s just the nice bowls, atmosphere and a few cheap cocktails working their persuasion magic.

A fun place to come with a big group“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Small family friendly place. Food was really good, made fresh and very flavorful. Vegetarian friendly. Owner, Lisa is very sweet and attentive. Willing to modify dishes, level of spice, salt, oil etc per our taste.
Love the service here! I have already become a regular customer!“

“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.“

“Min Chef in Tustin is an absolute gem for anyone craving truly authentic Beijing cuisine. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that are rich, balanced, and deeply satisfying. You can tell right away that the recipes stay true to tradition—nothing feels watered down or overly adapted.“
