10 Best Chinese Restaurants in Lake Forest

“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!“

“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.“

“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! ?)“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food at this Chinese restaurant is delicious. Every dish is bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. The ingredients are fresh, and the presentation is beautiful. The service is also excellent, making for an overall wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!“

“Huge Panda Express fan I eat at Panda 2x/week. What I would say here is that I have never seen a location so protective of it’s fried rice. They give about 1/2 of a normal portion and make sure that not a single grain of rice will go over the lip of the styrofoam. It seems that a 3 item combo here is smaller than a 2 item combo at other locations I frequent.From a management aspect this place is probably very profitable, but I don’t expect to leave hungry after a 3 item combo. I will be going out of my way to visit other panda locations as a result of portions here“

“First time trying this buffet since we were from out of town, The food was plentiful and freshly hot, sushi was good but missed a little something can't put my finger on. Service removing dishes needs attending to, but overall, we had a great dinner experience.“

“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.“

“This place is a gem!

My friend and I shared a Fried Oyster / Egg, Minced Meat with Rice, Oyster with Thin Noodle, and Meat Ball (I forgot to take pictures of the latter two).

The portion and price were fair. Service was friendly and efficient. Ambiance was cute and quiet.

Everything I ordered tasted pretty authentic - can't wait to try more when I return!“
