Chinese Restaurants near Ladera Ranch

“I've only tried a couple of dishes, but they were really good. There aren't many Asian restaurants in south OC with flavor like they have here. I got the pork soup dumplings and chicken fried noodles. The flavor on the soup dumplings was really good. The noodles were really good also. You could definitely taste the garlic and the hot wok flavor.

The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, it looks very modern. The staff were all friendly also. It's cool to be able to see into the kitchen. I look forward to coming back and trying some more of their dishes.“

“I've been going here for 13 yearsThe quality of food and service has never taken a dip in that time.As long as they are around they will always be a staple in my culinary Rolodex -

Kid-friendliness: The staff all love my two boys - They will always bring a little something for them out if They get restless while waiting for the food ?“

Vegetarian options: Many.

Dietary restrictions: Items are labelled with descriptions, ask staff for details.

Parking: Free parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kid's meal available.

Wheelchair accessibility: Door is not automatic.“

“We were visiting from Australia, when we stumbled across this place - we had a wonder experience with both the food and service.

Our server was so friendly and we really enjoyed having a chat to him in the restaurant. All of the dishes we ordered were beautiful.

we would highly recommend !!!“

“This Place is an exciting experience for fans of authentic Sichuan flavors. We chose the half-and-half hot pot base with spicy mala broth and a milder herbal soup. The spicy broth packs a punch with a complex blend of spices, while the herbal soup is a comforting balance. The ingredients, like the thinly sliced beef, shrimp, and vegetables, were fresh and flavorful.

What we ordered:

- Spicy mala broth - 5/5
- Herbal soup - 4/5
- Thinly sliced beef - 5/5
- Shrimp - 4/5
- Vegetables - 4/5
- Tofu - 4/5

Service was attentive, though it can get hectic during busy hours. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant can feel crowded and noisy, but it adds to the lively atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the quality and variety. If you love hot pot and can handle some spice, YinTang Spicy Hot Pot is worth a visit!“

“By chance, my wife and I had stopped for lunch at Hai Master Restaurant and discovered that this restaurant is definitely a cuisine that we HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The prepared food distinguishes their dishes from the regular Chinese restaurant and is a taste that is incredibly delicious. The owner and chef is definitely one of a kind that incorporated the taste of her original province in China with her own spin. Tammy is the owner and chef and she just hired another chef with skills preparing Sichuan dishes if you want spicy food. This restaurant is becoming more popular each day because the restaurant is more packed every time we come there. Introduce yourself to Leo who can welcome you and lead you to the different delicious dishes they prepare and the service you can enjoy. 5 STARS“

“The roujiamo in this shop is really amazing! The pancakes are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and fragrant. The meat is tender and juicy, fat but not greasy, and the seasoning is just right, making every bite full of satisfaction. After eating the whole thing, I still feel unsatisfied and want to have another one! Recommended to all friends who like authentic Shaanxi flavor, you must try it!“

“The place is incredibly clean and updated, with a modern vibe that makes dining there so comfortable.

Ordering is so easy—just scan the QR code at the table, browse the menu, and place your order right from your phone.

Food: The variety of dishes was impressive and authentic. We tried the Chengdu Dan Dan Noodles, stir-fried vegetables, garlic cucumber, fatty beef soup, and Japanese tofu egg. The stir-fried vegetables were perfectly seasoned, and the garlic cucumber added a refreshing crunch.

We ate the Japanese tofu egg with rice and stir-fried vegetables and it’s the bomb.

The service was attentive. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Sichuan flavors!“

“Our first time at Sunny’s Dumpling House. What an amazing experience, reaching them make each and every dumpling by hand. This made us enjoy the dumplings even more. We had them suggest some of the favorites and they didn’t disappoint. Try Sunny’s, we will be back, so much more to try!“

“Great food and service. Eat there 1 time a week“

“Excellent and delicious food. Flavorful. Portions are generous. Great variety for different dietary needs. Some of best food I’ve had in this cuisine in a long time.“

“We have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant for the past two years. After looking at Yelp, we decided to give them a try. Wow we found a great restaurant with fresh good tasting food. The atmosphere is a little different with the bar area being in the center. But with the awesome service and fantastic food who cares. You have to try it as soon as you can.“

“This is Orange County's best Chinese food restaurant! Food is always consistently good, fresh ingredients, served hot, with good presentation. The service is always excellent! Sandy and Lucy are wonderful servers who are friendly, courteous, and take great care of their patrons. If you are a longtime patron they remember you and your menu favorites. I highly recommend China Moon! Reservations are recommended but they do take walk-ins.“

“Absolutely delicious! The owner is so kind and generous, and the food is by far the best I’ve found in South OC. I drive over 25 minutes to get there, and am never disappointed. Can’t understand how anyone can give this less than 5 stars - so happy I found this gem.“

“Ordered for delivery using instacart so paid premium for moderately good food. The bag was sealed in a way that would be difficult to tamper with it so we liked that. We’ve eaten at PF Chang’s in many cities because it’s consistently good and tasty. It earned a four star rating because it is overpriced compared to similar food offered at lower prices by other restaurants. The service for dine-in is usually good. I was excited to find that you can order lo mein noodles instead of rice as the side for Sesame Beef (still way overpriced) and the kid’s Lettuce Wraps came with a good serving size for the price. The veggie egg rolls were mooshy and the sauce was too spicy for me. Disappointing compared to what I expected (traditional Chinese). The meal came with one fortune cookie for each item, utensils, napkins, and soy sauce packets.

Parking: Parking can be tricky at certain times of the day because it’s at the mall and they blocked off an aisle for Tesla charging and other EV charging. If you are going for the charging and dining, it’s really good.“

“So good. I know of no other place near here with Cantonese BBQ, especially duck. I primarily only get the duck but I have had the honey walnut shrimp and the green beans and have never been disappointed.
I use to have to drive to Irvine to get some duck but now that Sam Woo has closed this I the only place. I would argue it is better than Sam Woo was when they were still in business.
So happy this place opened so close to me.“

“It supplies anericanized Chinese food. Not typical Chinese, but is better than I thought. Mongulia Beef and Laumian are the best. Singapore Street noodle is also good. The price is low consider the amount of food. That is a good place overall.“

“The service is 5 stars for sure. Ed and Logan provide extraordinary service with a great attitude. It's rare to get great service from start to finish in todays landscape. This place is lucky to have these guys. The food is good, but Ed & Logan just made it better.“

“I love this place! Service is friendly, food is plentiful in a clean pleasant environment. The wonton soup is perfection and my go to order. Veggies in the soup are crisp/tender and not mushy. Pot stickers are a must order. Prices are very reasonable.“

“Went here for lunch, (they have amazing lunch specials on weekdays) and got my food quickly. Highly recommend trying this on your lunch break or whenever you get a chance. Food is high quality with great taste. Definitely going to be a regular here now!“

“Their service is great, and you can feel that they are paying a lot of attention to customers.

We brought our dog with us so we sit the outdoor area, and they have been very attentive all the time.

Food is great, they are noodle house but their rice is out of question also great as well.

I'll come here soon again.“

“I have been dining at Peking Dragon for over 40 years and I can say without a doubt that the food quality has always been consistently very good every time! Love the lunch specials and the Sizzling Rice Soup! If you wish a change in the dish they have always tried to please. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I really enjoy the food here and often get takeout, but the prices have become much higher. Just six months ago, I ordered the same dishes for $6 less. It's now June 2024, and I'm quite disappointed about the price hike. This will probably be my last visit since I can find similar dishes elsewhere for a better price. It's a shame, but I have to consider my budget.“

“Very good food. Many choices on menu. Downside is they are very hard to get on phone. Also the hours they have posted online, even on this page, show “OPEN” Sunday, when we found out the hard way they are indeed NOT open. Please change your online presence to state correct days/hours. Including Yelp. This would be very helpful. Other than that, I give it “2 Thumbs up”.“

“THE BEST CHINESE FOOD WE’VE EVER HAD. Delivered piping hot, even though it was close to closing. Uber Eats doesn’t tell you that, so we didn't know :( Ordered the orange peel chicken, sizzling beef Cantonese, cream cheese wontons, BBQ pork lo mein, and mu shu pork. WOW! so hot and fresh and delicious. Portions are massive! I don’t usually order Chinese food but DANG this place has made me a fan. My husband, on the other hand: Chinese food is his favorite, so for him to say this was amazing, you know it was!“

“I just wanted to take the time to really thank Pick Up Stix at the Lake Forest location. I always have had a great experience here - whether it be for the food or the customer service.

Recently, I decided to venture off my usual choice - Chow Mein - which I think is the best ever. Unfortunately, the new dish I ordered was subpar, I called the restaurant and spoke to a nice lady (I forgot her name unfortunately), she went above and beyond just replacing the meal. And I really appreciated it. Customer service like this is now rare - but she was so nice about it. A) didn't make me feel low or stuck-up (I hate that feeling esp when the vendor makes the mistake) - this was not the case here B) replaced the meal with another of my choice C) And added a generous extra item on the house

Thank you so much! My family loved the dinner - per usual :)“

“Food we chose was from the vegetarian menu. We ordered the family meal for 3 people. They even made a substitute for egg roles. Very nice employees at the Dana Point restaurant. Will be going back again.

Vegetarian options: Check out the menu.“

“Some of the best Chinese takeout in OC! Fast, friendly service and inexpensive to boot! The staff are very kind and will make dishes to order if the food you want isn't laid out when you order. Delicious, huge portions, always a great meal with leftovers after. Definitely recommend the Kung Pao Chicken! (They'll make it for you if you ask! ?)“

“This is my first time here. I didn't even know it existed.
I had the three flavor kung pao , substituted chow mein noodles for the rice with a side of tempura shrimp.
I loved how the kung pao was caramelized.

The chow mein noodles were not over cooked nor under cooked.

The tempura shrimp seasoned just right and fried to the right crispness.

All in all it was full on foodgazism to the hilt.

The best I can say is bye bye Panda Express and hello Little Chopsticks.

If you're looking for fresh Chinese food this is the place. If you're a foodie give this place a try.... you just might enjoy it. I know I did.

I'm sure the food delivery services pickup here. Check you local listing first.

I know I'll be back to eat again.

Until then if it ain't gonna bring you to foodgazism then don't put it in your mouth or on the tip of your tongue.“

“I tried this restaurant for the first time today with one of my groups. They had lunch specials you could choose from. I had their mixed veggie dish which came with white rice and a choice of soup. The veggie dish was good. It had bok choy which I love. I had their sweet and sour soup. I enjoyed that as well. The wait staff was not friendly but warmed up to us at the end.
Since we had a big group, we sat in the big dining room with many tables set up for big parties. There’s plenty of free parking.“

“I had a random craving for curry and had recalled seeing Thai Dara 2 when I was in the area a while back. I gave it a shot and I was so pleased. I ordered the panang curry with unspecified spicyness and it was perfection. Great temperature, calming music and gracious hospitality from the host. I think I’ll be craving curry more often :) or I’ll try one of the noodle dishes next time! Thank you for the lovely meal! I felt nourished and cared for.“

“If you’re a content creator this place is for you. They get treated better than the average person staff are attentive to them . If you are a regular person like me . Welp let just say it takes a while to be seen only attentive person was Issac he was nice actually genuinely seems interesting in giving good service.“

“We just moved to Irvine, CA from Seattle and would like to try some Chinese food in Irvine.My wife told me that Hi House promotes the product - Champion Beef Noodle Soup (紅燒冠軍牛肉麵). Free Refill for Noodle and Soup. Since my kids love noodles, I would say it is a good deal.We went there twice.First time: We ordered the Champion Beef Noodle Soup ( 1 bowl) for my 2 kids, but the soup was mild spicy. But it was fine for them. They enjoyed eating noodles especially free refill.My wife ordered Tomato Beef Noodle Soup (紅燒番茄牛肉麵) and she really loved it.Second time: My kids still wanted to have Champion Beef Noodle Soup. This time, the soup a little bit spicy compared to the dining experience for the first time. They did not like it.Suggestion:1. Since free refill is the good marketing strategy, why not create a kid's menu where they can enjoy eating, but the soup can be either non spicy or mild spicy?2. Please make non spicy soup for kids if they love it.Will go back definitely.“

“Do you have that restaurant you go back to years later the core memory flavors are still present when you visit again?

This is the restaurant for me!

I've been going here for years due to my family living in the area. It is tradition to either go to the restaurant or get take out.

The hot mustard and sweet and sour sauces on the tables were always a highlight.

I do wish they had more vegan alternatives but they do a pretty decent job.

Highly recommend! Support local!“

“Chicken pot thing was weird. Noodles were bomb!!!!!!“

“Great service and the best food. One of our favorite places to go for many years.“

“What happened? This was our go to place for Chinese food!
Our still large steamed dumplings were stuffed into a small container all stuck to each other and the pork was tasteless.
The Mongolian beef was usually served in large tray but now was half the size. Still tasty.
I suggest going back to the way things were or the customer base will disappear quickly.“

“Chinese food not bad. Orange chicken was ok, fried rice good, and chow mein not good. I think at certain times of the day the food is good, and sometimes meh. Over all give it a try. Good place for chips, gum, and energy drinks, and doughnuts..“

“Our family had a wonderful meal delivered.
You know the saying, "Goodness comes from the Heart."
If you're feeling down, eat kaleyards delicious food.
It will lift your spirits and satiate you your taste buds.“

“kindness. Moved to Irvine from the San Gabriel area. In comparison, the food here is delicious and the price is very reasonable. It feels cheap and the food tastes delicious. Of course, it may be that I am too hungry. Overall, I am very satisfied with this meal. Good reviews. Will come again.“

“Being saturday, the restaurant was packed when we arrived but the wait was very short. Dim Sum was excellent and traditional, with tea carts going by with all kinds of dim sum small dishes: dumplings, buns, spring rolls, congee, all kinds of desserts, etc. It was a very satisfying meal and the jasmine tea was just perfect. Service could not have been better. Don't know the cost because I was a guest. Will definitely return!“

“Fast service, fresh ingredients, larger portion sizes than expected. Thought everything was overpriced when looking at the menu, but the portion sizes are considerate and they don’t skimp on meats. The $4.35 extra for chow mein seemed a little egregious but you get almost a meal’s worth of it. Delicious all around! will definitely be back“

“We went for dinner and ordered XLB, cucumber salad, shrimp shumai, shrimp fried rice, and braised beef noodle soup and it all came out in 13 minutes.

Vegetarian options: There aren't many vegetarian options but otherwise pretty solid.

Parking: There are many places to park up front and on the street.

Kid-friendliness: They are very nice to kids and it is easy for kids to get around and talk to employees.

Wheelchair accessibility: The hallways and spaces between tables are wide and very wheelchair accesible.“

“Asian dishes with a California flavor.We eat at Stix a lot, and really like it. Try the House fried rice, very good. Lots of shrimp and beef. We also like the House chicken with seasonal vegetables.Try the family dinner. It will be enough for three people, four if you're not big eaters.We didn't care for the General's chicken. Maybe we got it on a bad day, we'll try it again. It was overcooked and there was no sauce or vegetables with it. It's the only I've got at Stix that was disappointing.Don't hesitate to try Stix if you haven't been. We like it a lot!“

“Wonderful clean and friendly“

“Jocelyn provided us with extra customer care and service. She was able to get us our order quickly and advise us on the best way to save using our coupon. She also reminded us to use the app to order and made sure to ask us if we wanted appetizers or drinks. Thank you for making our experience awesome Jocelyn. The store was very clean and the food was well organized.“

“The food here is amazing and they give you your money's worth. I am used to going to panda express and getting a 3 item plate and still feeling hungry afterwards. I ordered a 2 item plate from here and was unable to finish the whole thing. Now I have some tastey leftovers. The quality of the food is also very good!“

“My brother-in-law ordered food for our family from here. We had never eaten at this place nor even heard about this place… Let me tell you something: the food was exquisite! Fresh and crisp veggies, soft and tender meat, and all flavorful! This will be our go to place when ordering chinese take out!“

“This is our favorite Thai restaurant. It's a nice sit-down place for family gatherings, but honestly pricing is so reasonable that it's even a great place for quick lunches, pick upd or deliveries. Food arrives superfast. Staff has always been super friendly, and great with little kids.

The food is outstanding. Their hot and sour and the egg drop soups are fantastic. Their pad Thai and curries are also amazing. There's satays are fantastic.

We probably go here or deliver at least once a week.“
