10 Best Chinese Restaurants in Lake Forest

“One of the most authentic and yummy XLB places. The waitlist can be a bit long during peak hours, but their system takes care of it. Services are fine too, just sometimes a bit monotone as they are very focused on their tasks. Simple and clean environment while we can also buy togo frozen XLB to steam at home. All their greens and veggies dishes are wonderful!“

“During this sweltering winter heat wave in Southern California, it was nice to enter this chic and cool restaurant. The AC was definitely a sigh of relief. This small restaurant had about 12 tables and largest table seated up to 6, so I don’t recommend large groups. The paper menu is just like DTF with similar, popular menu options plus common Chinese restaurant dishes like Kung Pao Chicken. The food was very good and portions were bigger than DTF. I will definitely come back to try their other dishes. If they offer chicken xiao long bao, it would widen their customer base.“

“Best Chinese food ever! My family and I have been coming here for over 20 plus years and we would never go anywhere else to get Chinese food! Amazing food and amazing people who work here!! Anne and family are the most amazing people we have ever met! You must try!! Best Chinese food there is!! Thank you for everything you all do we love you guys!! 💕🥰🥳😁😋“

“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! ?)“

“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.“

“This specific Panda has excellent portion sizes, and that needs to be shouted out. Nowadays, I've noticed many Panda Express locations counting pieces of chicken, and even removing some of an item if too much was scooped. Not here in Lake Forest, portions are full providing a fair value for the price. It's refreshing and reminds me of the old Panda Express days, thank you!“

“I recently tried DinHo Chinese Cuisine and was honestly impressed. The food tastes fresh, not overly greasy, and everything feels well-balanced.

The Orange Chicken is crispy but not heavy, and the Beef & Broccoli is tender and flavorful. Portions are generous and perfect for sharing.

Service is fast and friendly. Definitely one of the better Chinese spots in the area. Will be coming back!“

“I ordered for take out twice in two days. The tomato and brisket noodle soup was a bit sweet but tasty. I like that noodles were chewy just about the right texture. The brown sugar sticky rice dessert was crunchy on the outside and soft inside, which was great. I came back to order more food the second morning when it just opened. The cashier wasn’t there. The kitchen staff came to help me. They were friendly and apologetic and offered us water and extra food while we waited for our order. I liked popcorn chicken. The pan fried pork buns were juicy. Overall, the food and the experience were great. I’d come back to try more food.“

“The food was good took Chingon there on our first date it was so romantic I wouldn’t change a thing the lady was throwing food at us telling us to get out Chingon ate everything 5 out five me and him are now 10 years toghter with our first born named Ramirez“

“Chose Kra Pow cause it's street food but instead of a fried egg with a runny yolk on top of the pork, basil (not enough), and rice the egg was cooked all the way through. I was told it would be authentic but it was not. Dish was spiced right so that was good.“
