Best Chinese food in OC. Everything made fresh.

Overpromised, underdelivered.

I waited over an hour and never received my food. The manager said they’d expedite it, yet I still waited another 50+ minutes while seated guests kept getting served. She only came out once, leaving one young employee to handle a crowd of upset customers and nonstop calls, he did his best and I felt bad for him.

What’s most disappointing is they already knew their online ordering system was having issues and still didn’t disable it—during Chinese New Year, one of their busiest times. No apology gesture or discount after all that. Really disappointing first experience.

Sat for an hour waiting for my online order. Manager was there and said she’d expedite. Waited an hour before we left with no food. Host was awesome, manager sucks.

I like this restaurant, but under NO circumstances should you order online via the Beyond Menu app link on the restaurant’s website. When I arrived at the pickup line they said Beyond Menu was not working. I waited in the lobby with half a dozen other unfortunates for over an hour for my order on a busy Tuesday. The restaurant was in complete chaos with an apology but no food coming out. Just a disaster. Restauranteur tip: DUMP BEYOND MENU RIGHT NOW!

Don’t waste your time getting takeout from here. The first time we ever tried this place, we called in our order. When we picked up the food and brought it home, they had forgotten the egg rolls. We called them back and they mentioned they can’t do a refund when you pay over the phone, but offered us to give us free egg rolls next time we ordered. I guess we waited too long to order from here again because they had no note or any info about the free egg rolls.

We decided to place an online order through their website this time around so we have the receipt to show in case they forget something. We arrive at the restaurant only for them to tell us they don’t use the platform that is literally on their website. The cashier lady explained how she had no idea what was going on and how the owner has been trying to cancel the contract with Beyond Menu (platform on their website). If this is the case, maybe don’t have this option on your website. She tried calling a manager and the owner and neither of them answered the call. She also started explaining my situation to another random customer who had no business in any of this. So I called Beyond Menu myself and the lady helping me called the restaurant. The same cashier lady told her the same story she told us and then refused to take our order. We ended up going elsewhere because we wasted so much time.

Not a Happy customer with this restaurant. I went in and ordered Moo Shu Chicken because I really wanted the pancakes that come with this dish. I ordered my food and went home to have dinner , come to find out they didnt even give me the pancakes that come with the meal. I don't get it!! You ordered your food, pay full price and when you go home to eat your food, you find out they didn't even give you what you paid for!!!
Customer service has seriously disappeared. Check your food with this restaurant before you leave, just to make sure you receive what you paid for.

Super super super super super rude

One of the best. If not the best. Love to order from here and never let me down.

4.5/5 - My partner came here with friends and said it was really good, except for the rice. Naturally, I had to try it myself. We arrived around 4:30 a.m., and they had a happy hour dinner special, which was quite affordable. The portions were a decent size!
I ordered the Sichuan beef, which came with your choice of white or brown rice, along with hot and sour or egg drop soup. My partner went for the shrimp chow mein. Definitely ask for the wontons, hot sauce, hot mustard, and chili oil - adding these to the soup makes it sooo good.
We also shared a family-sized salt and pepper calamari, which was huge. I will say, the rice was a bit of a letdown =( more like Uncle Ben’s than authentic. However, our server was super fast, friendly, and checked in on us throughout. They also have a patio, so they’re very pet-friendly! Overall, a good spot if you’re looking for good happy hour deals!

Asian Kitchen is a great local restaurant. The staff is friendly and always acknowledges repeat customers and their favorite orders. The outdoor area is casual and a wonderful place to dine and relax.

Came especially for the sizzling rice soup and the Peking duck. They were both lovely. Nice outdoor seating with shade and a breeze.

I bought a cashew chicken and an orange chicken last night through a food delivery platform. Unfortunately, the cashew chicken tasted spoiled and had a very bad smell. The orange chicken was almost entirely flour and had very little chicken. I will never go back to this restaurant again.

Great spot for a group event!
We hosted an informal rehearsal dinner here on a Thursday evening for a group of 27, and everything was fantastic. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, responsive, and professional.
The restaurant is located in a beautiful shopping complex with plenty of parking, which made logistics easy for our guests. Since I live in the SF Bay Area, I coordinated the event remotely with Ken via phone and text. He was amazing—super helpful in planning a menu that fit our budget and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Ken and his team even went out of their way to accommodate one of our gluten-free guests, which we really appreciated.
The food was delicious—from the individually prepared, fresh and flavorful Vietnamese shrimp spring rolls to the hearty combination chow mein, everything was a hit. The Garlic Tofu & Vegetables were especially popular with the group, and my personal favorite was the Black Pepper Steak.
They set up a private patio area for us that felt intimate yet still connected to the restaurant’s relaxed SoCal vibe. The white tablecloths and flower arrangements added a lovely touch to our pre-wedding celebration.
Everyone in our party had a great time—great food, warm atmosphere, and top-notch service.

Highly recommended for group gatherings. Thank you, Ken and the Asia Kitchen team!

Our favorite Asian restaurant changed ownership and went WAY downhill. So we are in the process of trying out others! I am vegan, my family is not... there were options for everyone!
Asian Kitchen has great service and a casual indoor/outdoor atmosphere (pet friendly, too!). The food was a solid 4/5☆.
