“QUA Contemporary Chinese Cuisine restaurant in Fountain Valley, California is just great. Food 🍱 is very diversified and delicious. Creations are beautiful. Service is top. The salad 🥗, the fish, and the rice are distinctive. Thanks to Paton, Annie , Annie, and the whole team for a great service.“

“The food in this place is great, the prices are even better. Ordered orange chicken, mushroom chicken, half ponsit and lo mein with a side of chicken curry for under $12 BIG portions of food. The staff is sweet kind and generous won't go into detail, but what they did for a customer was heart melting!

Sign says cash only but they do accept card payment“

“The food server (Omar), was super busy and still very friendly. Did not feel rushed. He also was not stingy with the food amount. Food was delicious and orange chicken had just the right crisp. Hats off to the chef!! I definitely would come back to this location. Thank you for a great lunch experience.“

“I am so glad I had a chance to come to the Panda Bowl for the first time since moving to California. Usually I’m always brought to another location (out of respect I will not say names) we frequently go to, nothing wrong but I really wanted something different for once and this location was convenient from where we were parked.

The food here at Panda Bowl is fresh and seasoned very well. I can finally say I think I found my favorite place to go to when I would like to eat Chinese takeout. For awhile since moving to California, no other location in particular for Chinese food ever kept my attention or interest. But here? This is the spot I actually enjoyed and could see myself frequently choosing this location to eat from.

I would highly recommend coming here, only spent up to $20 to share a container between me and one other person. The food is delicious!“

“Had an amazing experience at Haidilao! The food was fresh, high quality, and there was a great variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables to choose from. The broth was flavorful, and everything came out quickly.

What really stood out was the exceptional customer service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and constantly checked to make sure we had everything we needed. They went above and beyond to make the dining experience enjoyable.

The restaurant was clean, well organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for delicious hot pot and outstanding service, I highly recommend Haidilao. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Awesome restaurant!

Service, food, and atmosphere was excellent. We ordered 2 fried noodles, cucumber salad, and beef noodle soup. The beef noodle soup was very aromatic with very well cooked noodles, and flavorful beef. The fried noodles were good but could’ve been boiled a bit longer but the flavor was nice. Cucumber noodles had an amazing taste, with a bomb of flavor. They were savory, spicy, and sweet. Serve was great and always checked up on us. The atmosphere was filled with kind people, with calm music, comfortable seats, and overall very clean. Dishes were also at a reasonable price. Great place for everyone!“

“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.“

“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?“

“Great little spot! It’s a bit on the cozy side, so expect a 15–20 minute wait during peak times, but it’s completely worth it. Everything we ordered was fantastic—the scallion oil noodles were super flavorful, the pan-fried dumplings had that perfect crispy bottom, and the fried cutlet was extra crispy and delicious with the dipping sauce. Plus, having free parking right outside makes coming here super easy. Will definitely be back!“

“P.F. Chang’s never disappoints! As usual, we had a great experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, the portions were perfect and generous, and everything was served fresh and well presented.

The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. The atmosphere is always enjoyable and consistent, making it a reliable choice whether you’re going for lunch or dinner.

Another very satisfying visit to P.F. Chang’s. Great food, excellent portions, and wonderful service. Definitely a place I’m always happy to come back to!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Even the setup is easy. I liked being able to pick my own ingredients and broth without it turning into a whole thing, and the bowl still came out balanced and full. The bone broth had a distinct flavor that held up the whole way through, rich but not tiring, and the add ins felt fresh with plenty to choose from. Taste was good, which stood out right away. Service was friendly too, just helpful when needed and otherwise low key. A simple meal, done with care“

“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.“

“Food here tastes really authentic, like proper home-style flavors, not watered down at all. Portions are solid and the price, for the US, feels very fair, tbh kind of rare around here. Seasoning is on point, you can actually taste the spices, not just salt. Staff moves fast but still friendly, casual vibe, nothing fancy, just comfortable. Strongly recommending this place to anyone who cares more about flavor than decor, works for me.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Mimi's Garden; I highly recommend the orange chicken and the truffle bao (black baozi).

If you're craving chinese food in the Newport beach area, definitely give this place a shot.“

“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.“

“I really love eating the beef fried rice at Lucky Chopsticks Cypress for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🥡🥢“

“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 was in charge of ordering Chinese food for a big crowd for my aunt's birthday party, and since KBP Asian Bistro was close by, I gave it a shot. Honest review: seeing how quiet the restaurant was at first made me second-guess my choice, but I'm so glad I stuck with it! Everyone at the party devoured the food. It was amazingly fresh and flavorful, and the orange chicken was easily my favorite. We had zero leftovers, which speaks for itself. I'll definitely be coming back here for all my Chinese food cravings!“

“juicy dumpling factory is seriously such a good din tai fung dupe 🥟 everything we ordered was sooo flavorful and comforting!!

the beef rolls were definitely my FAV. super crispy and crunchy on the outside with such a savory filling. i would honestly come back just for these 😭

the garlic noodles were so fragrant, garlicky, buttery, and perfectly chewy. you also HAVE to order the mapo tofuuu!!! the flavors just hit different 🤌🏼 so rich, savory, a little spicy, and sooo good with rice.

the sweet and sour spare ribs had the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and the fried rice was yummy, simple, and comforting ♡

we also tried their new corn cheese with shrimp and it was such an interesting combo!! super creamy and cheesy, so if you love cheesy stuff you’ll definitely enjoy this one 🧀🍤

all of their flavored teas are really good too, but the strawberry yogurt drink was my favorite 🍓 it’s creamy, refreshing, and not too heavy.

such a good spot when you’re craving some comfort food without the din tai fung wait. definitely coming back for the beef rolls and mapo tofu 🥟♡“

“Nothing fishy about this place. It's a small family run business. Blame covid for the price increases and there are sign posted to make you aware of the increase. it's the best food and most reasonable prices in town. if you cant afford a 11 dish then don't buy or complain about it. These reviews are for the food not whiners.“

“Happy Lamb offers a lunch special for $21.99 Monday through Friday, available until 3:00 PM (last call at 2:45 PM). The food is really good, and the service is decent. Overall, it’s a solid spot with good food and a reasonable midday deal.“

“Delicious vegetarian food at good prices. High backed private booths and great service.“

“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“

“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”

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

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

“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!“

“Our favorite family owned Chinese restaurant is closed on Sundays, so we tried something new. Mu shu pork was delicious (better than our other favorite) and we’ve also enjoyed the Chinese chicken salad, Peking dumplings, and vegetable chow mein. Great service, great prices, and extremely generous portion sizes (actually wish they were smaller as we end up with too much food!) Highly recommend 💕“

“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.“

“Nice quaint place. Cumin lamb is decent, but that dish is usually good, can't go wrong with it. The soup dumplings and hot and sour soup are good, the hot and sour soup feels especially creative with herbs. The main issue is the place doesn't seem to stand out... Especially with so many Chinese restaurants nearby“

“Good Chinese food with family or friends“

“This place has great food and the sweetest owner/workers. I came during maybe Christmas Eve or Christmas day, none the less, they were open on the holidays. The lady who helped me was super sweet and just gave the best hospitality. Her husband (?) was also so nice and super helpful. I didn’t stay to eat there since I had my dog in the car, but people who came after me pulled up a chair and seemed to enjoy the environment. The parking lot was a bit rough around the edges so I was a tad hesitant but once I came into the store with welcoming smiles, it was all good. The food was super hot when received. I also had a bit of a drive home since they were one of a few places open that day. When I got home the food was still super hot. Also I think I spent about $10-15 but I had so much food that lasted a few days. Portions were huge, I liked it. Food was super tasty the day received and still good over the few days it took to eat the rest. Was easy to reheat in the microwave and a pan on the stove. Egg rolls also easy to reheat in air fryer. Note: I thought I posted when I last came here during the holiday season but it looks like it didn’t transmit.“

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

“This is by far my favorite place to go! They are always stocked with delicious food with lots of options, and will let you know how long of a wait it will be to refill an out of stock item. They fill the plates UP and for the price this is an amazing deal. I highly recommend checking this place out if you’re nearby. Only downside is the plates/oil can spill in the bag for takeout orders.“

“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.“

“Andrew was our server tonight and all I can say is.. best service I have had in a long time. We travel all over the place and visit many restaurants. His recommendations were on point, service was quick, and continuously checked in. Best part to us was that his attitude and personality made it an even better experience.“

“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.“

“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 love this place! One of the servers is great, she always fills my plate. However, today at about 12:30pm I went to pick up lunch and the server, short lady, not the one who is normally there. Was literally talking on the phone the whole time I’m ordering my food. What bothered me is that I asked for sauce on the side but being she’s on the phone she apparently didn’t hear me and poured the sauce on the food. I lacked to check and once I get back to my destination my sweet and sour chicken is all soggy. Get off your phone be professional so you can pay attention to what is being asked from the customer.“

“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!“

“Good old fashioned Chinese food delivered right to your doorstep. Friendly people ~ food delicious 😋“

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

“So we usually have gone to the Capitol Noodle in Barranca. It was closed permanently recently so we tried this location. phe-no-me-nal.
I think this is even better than the barranca one with a more varied menu.
Thumbs up. Must go with the fam. Highly recommend the Hong Kong style crispy noodle, cold cucumber salad, fried rice and lychee drinks.
Ps. I’m very stingy sideye reviewer of things so giving 5 stars for me is not a habit. This place deserves all 5. The service here was excellent.“
