“My mother has been buying from here for more than 10 years and it never disappoints. Huge portions for less than $10 (Other restaurants tend to charge you double) and the staff are the sweetest ever. I hope they never run out of business <3“

“I’ve been to Panda Express stores all over Southern California. This was the best one to date! Staff were so kind, professional, friendly, and attentive. Excellent customer service! The food all looked very fresh and the space was super clean. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Very close to the beach, close to center of everything. I personally thinks it’s more for American palate. Not for Chinese palate. But given it’s in a touristy place, I think it’s very very good Chinese food, speaking as a Chinese eater. lol.“

“The Food here was so delicious. I really recommend the Xiao Long Bao and the cucumber salad. The service was very fast and kind. And lastly the inside has a cool atmosphere and has a cool feature were you can see inside the kitchen while they are making your food. Highly recommended.“

“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“

“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!“

“We had a 35 person family reunion at this terrific restaurant. We have been coming here for the delicious food for a few years but in small groups so we wanted to share the experience with whole family when they were in town. The staff was fantastic especially Kenna who was so thoughtful kind and accommodating and the food was fresh and delicious like always.“

“I always seem to have a craving for this place every Tuesday and keep forgetting it's closed. If you asked me before finding this place if there was much of a difference between Chinese food spots, I would have said, no. Now I'd say go here and have the same light bulb moment I did. Best fried rice, house special chicken and cashew chicken I've had in a long long time.“

“Food is very appetising but I find it not spicy enough.
The Lemon Iced Tea used Jasmine based tea which I didn’t quite like. It was not stated on the menu as I would not have ordered that.
Ordering is by scanning the menu which can be switched between Chinese or English. In English mode, choice of Less Salt, Less Oil, Less Spicy was still in Chinese. Staff helped to translate for me.
Pork Belly skewer was a bit too thin. I preferred the Lamb ones which was listed as ‘Beef’.
Eggplant and Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetable were good. I got more hungry as I ate them.
Sichuan style Chive n Pork Dumplings were juicy.
Will come back again.“

“I have been coming here since they first opened and every time it is consistently made fresh and well as well they have fair pricing on lunch specials. Their broccoli beef is actually packed with beef not just broccoli unlike other Chinese restaurants.“

“Such a great location and amazing experience! The food was amazing and the customer service was out of this world. Something you don’t see every single day and I really appreciate that. I came here on my lunch break and Ed took care of me. I placed an online to go order and he remembered my name and made sure I had all my utensils and sauces. He also offered me a cup of ice for my water which I really appreciated. He goes above and beyond in his work and I really appreciate that. Thank you, Ed. I will be back for sure.“

“Good food - freshly prepared, better than most other Thai restaurants, not expensive even now. The waiters are attentive but unobtrusive. Ambiance and decor standard, but who cares, when the food is this good? I love the sauteed eggplant, and the papaya salad.“

“Been coming here since it opened and when we are visiting family in the area or passing through, this is our first choice for a place to eat! Yummy yummy and satisfying in the belly :-) We stray once in a while but consistently go with the delicious chicken lettuce warps, northern style ribs, singapore noodles, mongolian beef, salt and pepper prawns, and fried bananas with ice cream.
James (Manager/Operating Partner) is always welcoming and friendly. He is always receptive to comments we have regarding the food and service and addresses immediately if he can and makes us feel confident that they will be looked into.“

“Watching TV and saw Pad Thai and had to have some. Wanted chix/shrimp and couldn't get any of the platforms to give me that option. Pad thai near me got me to Thai Dara 2 and my order had lots of both perfectly cooked shrimp and big white meat chicken pieces. The order left me with enough for dinner. I will definitely be back.“

“Amazing authentic Chinese duck spiced perfectly. For me it was a quiet hometown environment with attractive employees. A great place to getaway for a while. I’m not sure if they were open because google said they were closed but they took care of me anyway.“

“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 :)“
“Must praise the service first. The lady in the front is super nice, answering all my questions with patience. Food looks fresh and tasty. Bought some chicken feet, quail et, and mixed veggies, averaging about $15/lb.
They also sell hotpot stuffs and provide sit-down meals.“

“Stopped in here for a quick lunch and had orange chicken, black pepper beef and some various dim sum items. Everything was good, the chive dumplings were HUGE and so flavorful we went back two days later to order more. Staff were very friendly, service was quick and the outdoor patio was nice.“

“This place is honestly the most DELICIOUS place I’ve gone too! Me and my partner go here so much cause it’s amazing!! The price is great for the quality and just a yummy meal🤭🙏🏻 THANK YOU LOC!!“
“When:
- Monday dinner
What:
- Braised Beef Noodle Soup
- Yunnan Rice Noodle Soup with all the fixings
Experience:
- Braised Beef Noodle Soup had flavorful and tender beef that was delicious! Had the almost melt in your mouth experience. Be aware that even for a mild, it was spicy. So if you don’t like any spicy at all, this is not a dish to get.
- Yunnan rice noodle bridge was nice to see how it is all setup before you put everything into the bowl of soup. It is very hot so be cautious especially if you have little ones. The soup, noodles and fixings were good. My little one liked the soup and noodles so much that he had almost a whole bowl by himself (he’s only 3.5 yo).
- Free dessert in the stainless steel container by where the eating utensils are. Option was limited with just aiyu jelly and oranges.
- Service was friendly and food was served in a reasonable time.“
“If I could give Kaleyard six stars, I would!
I ordered through DoorDash last night, and I was absolutely blown away. I had seen this place before but had never tried it. When I came across it on DoorDash, I looked through the menu and decided to give it a chance—and I’m so glad I did!
Let’s start with the chicken egg rolls. When I took my first bite, I was genuinely impressed to find large pieces of white-meat chicken and vegetables inside. And the flavor? Absolutely delicious! The fried rice was just as flavorful, and the House Special Chicken was another standout.
But the pan-fried noodles with beef and vegetables deserve a special mention. This is one of my favorite dishes, and I’m always excited to find a restaurant that does it well. I really appreciated that the noodles were packaged separately from the beef, vegetables, and sauce so they wouldn’t get soggy during delivery. That little detail makes such a difference! Once I poured everything over the noodles and took a bite, I knew this was one of the best versions of this dish I’ve had in a long time.
Not only was every dish outstanding, but everything arrived hot! I even had some of the leftovers for lunch today, and they still tasted amazing. From the flavors to the thoughtful packaging, the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
I like to try restaurants for myself rather than rely solely on reviews, and Kaleyard made an incredible first impression. You will definitely be getting more orders from me, and I can’t wait to explore the rest of the menu.
Thank you for such a delicious meal. I’m already looking forward to my next order!“

“Super affordable, great portions, and FANTASTIC taste. I love American Chinese food, and I must say, this is probably the best restaurant of this cuisine I’ve been to. I wish it were closer to where I live, because I’d go every day.“

“I came here with my grandpa, and it has become one of our favorite places. My grandpa absolutely loves the fish, and I have to say they make the best eggplant I’ve found in Orange County. As someone who doesn’t eat meat, it’s one of the main reasons I keep coming back.
The food is always delicious, but what really makes this place special is the service. Joyci is amazing! She remembered us, made us feel welcome, and treated us like family. That personal touch means a lot and makes every visit even better.
Great food, warm hospitality, and a place that creates wonderful memories with loved ones. We’ll definitely be back!
Good restaurant reviews often mention the food, service, and overall experience, which helps others understand what makes a place special.“

“Came here shortly after they opened. A lot of the food was not yet cooked but I was told they could quickly make whatever I order. I got a 2-item combo with string bean chicken and a steak entree. Sure enough, my order was ready in less than 10 minutes. Service was friendly. Food was on-par for what you would expect for a Panda Express. Restaurant was clean. Plenty of free parking.“

“Pick Up Stix on Oso and Antonio never disappoints. The Wonton Wednesday deal led to a Wonton Wednesday tradition for our family. We regularly order the Drunken Noodles with Chicken, the Grilled Salmon with rice and veggies, and House Tofu on rice. It is all so good (as reported by those who eat each respective meal, I can really only speak to the tofu and wontons).
Tonight, as usual, despite there being multiple customers in the building, and several people coming in for pick ups, my food was ready quickly. The staff are friendly and attentive, and make sure we have everything we need. I especially appreciate that the way our food gets packed up when ordered to go; it is packed in such a way that I have never had a spill in my car.
Love the food, love the vibe, so grateful for this delicious and affordable tradition.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite places when I’m craving noodles or soup. Good food with big portions at a great price. I ate here last year and the service wasn’t very good and the place felt smaller, but when I visited this week, they’ve improved a lot. The two ladies serving were very friendly and attentive. The customer service was so much better this time, and I’ll definitely be back. I recommend ordering the wontons in chili sauce, braised pork with sticky brown sauce, and braised beef noodles everything was delicious. Totally worth it!“

“I only went once but I enjoyed it sadly other people I went with did not. I liked their options of seafood lots of fish and shrimp. The popcorn shrimp was great. I loved the all you can eat sushi section that was my favorite. The sushi was really good fresh, could see the chefs cutting it. They had lots of deserts and tons of options & variety. I paid $22.99 per adult and $20.69 for the senior in my party. The total was under $70 for 3 because I went at lunch hours during M-S 11 am -4pm“

“We always enjoy coming to the Panda Express on El Toro. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, and the food’s consistently fresh. Our go-to is the teriyaki chicken with half chow mein and half fried rice. It’s a winning combo every time. I used to be skeptical about rounding up at the register, so I took some time to research Panda Cares, including using AI to review the information available. After doing that, I felt confident supporting it. I was impressed to learn that 100% of customer donations go to the charitable programs it supports, since the company covers the administrative costs. Now I’m happy to round up when I visit. Great service, great food, and a program I feel good about supporting.“

“Amazing service and food quality, though I must admit some of the utensils seemed a little bit dirty when we walked in. And our evening was abruptly ruined by a rude customer throughout our time here, but nevertheless a great spot to eat Chinese food.“

“It was a great experience with great customer service. The only thing I didn't like was the green beans. I found a lot of them bad. I understand restaurants don't want to lose money, but because of this, it creates a bad experience for the customer. Don't get me wrong, my food was delicious. Also, I was impressed with the customer service. Three different girls with great attitudes were very professional and respectful. They offered me to try the new lemonade, and it was delicious. Thanks again!“

“I love these unassuming places that make fantastic dishes.... The owner was kind and welcoming.
I ordered the Singapore mei fun it wasn't on the menu but it was probably the best that I've ever had. The mixture of shrimp and pork and chicken, the vegetables were just perfectly crisp with tons of flavor and the mei fun noodles perfectly cooked. Definitely ask for their secret recipe chili oil, you won't be disappointed!
I'll definitely be back and I will leave a picture next time, it looked delicious so I dug right into immediately! Lol.“
