“Tony is a great server and in general has a good hold on the restaurant as a manager would. We have appreciated him all these years. There it is...to all the non sayers who say there are no good servers there. Also, the food is excellent. Alwaye has been.“

“Great food. Friendly service. Nice vibe. Haven’t been to a P.F. Chang’s in a while, but we were craving their lettuce wraps. Our server, Josh, helped me make a final decision on which tofu dish to try. So glad he did! The crispy and spicy tofu was delicious!!🙌“

“Delicious food . Not a long wait. I will return 🤗“

“The best taste ever. Real Koreans, go here.
It's so, so, so delicious, and I haven't been able to get my mouth full since I ate this place from Korea. I'm sure there's no such delicious malatang anywhere in the world, not even in mainland China. It's so delicious that I wonder if something was really done to the soup, and it's so addictive that I'll be eating it for a week. I think about it three times. Please, please drink it. Please.“

“I’ve been craving Mongolian Bbq for a while but haven’t really explored. Saw this place with good ratings and must say, the ratings didn’t lie! It’s a cosy hole in the wall place which you know that means it’s good. Staff are very friendly and attentive, explaining the menu and how this roll. I got the all you can eat with my boyfriend, it was so much food! I will absolutely come again and I will highly recommend this place to friends!“

“My braised cashew chicken was absolutely delicious that I I got this afternoon 15/3/2023. Thank you very much Kim“

“Do not sleep on this food!

I’m a foodie and this was no disappointment. We ordered Dan Dan noodles, Orange Chicken, Juicy Pork Dumplings, and broccoli beef. All were so tasty and so incredibly fresh; one of the best new additions in Huntington Beach period. Normally I’m hesitant to order orange chicken because it always seems to be a disappointment but this Orange chicken was actually the best I’ve ever had.

Next time I will definitely be ordering chili beef, green beans and pan fried dumplings as they looked amazing. If this place continues to stay consistent with quality and freshness, it will be non-stop busy.

Not the most amazing atmosphere. It’s somewhat cold feeling and doesn’t have a stylish vibe like din tai fung but the food is worth the visit.“

“It's the same as the best Chinese restaurant in town when I was a child. This is the only place where you can enjoy the same atmosphere and taste as you remember. I really, really love this restaurant.

Rajogi, scorched rice, black bean noodles, jjamppong, and noodles are all so delicious.“

“First, they bring out a small bowl of salted, roasted peanuts to snack on while you peruse the menu. The egg drop soup feeds 3-4 people. It’s huge. The dinner portions are massive. The service was absolutely 5-star and fast! We were encouraged by the fact that most of our fellow diners were Asian, and there was a steady flow of traffic. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. It was a seamless experience.“

“The best bang for your buck for sure! I just got a three item plate (plus 50/50 rice/chow mein), an order of cream cheese wontons (cooked fresh!) And a huge soda for $18. On to the food: every single dish I've had here has been fresh, delicious and top notch. Excellent food. I really want to try the bbq pork, it looks incredible! They home make their own hotsauce. The hotter version is legit hott, and the standard version adds a unique spiciness to the already flavorful and delicious food. Every time I go here, the people are so nice and actually care about you. Do not hesitate, and check this place out. The atmosphere is quiet and it's pretty plain-jane as far as cosmetics, but they more than make up for it in the kitchen and at the counter. One of my top 5 favorite spots in the area. More reviews coming soon“

“I recently held my wedding at Diamond Seafood Palace earlier this month, and I can’t say enough good things about their accommodations, service, and attention to detail. Their team and staff went above and beyond, exceeding not just my expectations, but those of my family and guests as well. To this day, everyone is still raving about the night, and I’m thrilled it was as unforgettable for them as it was for me.

A special thanks to Diamond’s events team for making my day truly extraordinary. Their exceptional organization made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. If you’re searching for a wedding venue in Orange County, stop looking—Diamond Palace is the perfect choice. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Ordered food as they were closing they were very friendly and even helped us pick combos that would be more variety and just enough for two rather than ordering one dish a la cart . They were very very kind and the food was hot and delicious. I loved the vegetables and thought everything was very good. The customer service is so great they treat you like family.

Vegetarian options: The vegetables are crisp and fresh and served in light sauce very yummy so are egg rolls no meat in the egg rolls delicious“

“Been coming here for over 15 years. Great selection of dishes prepared with consistent flavors and fast service. Never had a bad meal in anything I've tried, although the curry could be kicked up a notch. Staff is attentive and friendly. Prices are very reasonable to portions served. Hard to beat the lunch deals too! Their hot & sour soup is the best around. Often have the large bowl with a side of brown rice as a lunch meal.

Vegetarian options: Several dishes on the dinner menu that are vegetable based and you can request a protein, including tofu, of your liking.“

“Such great food and the staff is amazing! Love this place brings back such great memories!“

“Fresh and tasty food. We usually do take-out.“

“Good food at reasonable prices.great for lunch or take out. Casual dining.“

“We got several items to share in our group. The food was all very good except for the chicken fried rice. The wontons in chili oil were good but i think the shape of the dumplings made the sauce not stick very well. Overall a great place to get dim sum. My favorite was the choe mein (with beef) and the garlic green beans. They were phenominal“

“Food was really good and comforting. Restaurant is very clean, doesn’t smell like typical Chinese restaurant. We went on a Tuesday night for dinner, so there was no wait and the food came out quick! Service was great, attentive and friendly.

Favorite dishes: house special fried rice & salt and pepper pork chop“

“I love everything about Chowking . From Siopao, mami, wanton soup and desserts and drinks. Halo halo, buchi buchi, taho, and so much more. Feels like you’re in pinas.👍🥰“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants, I've been going there for years.The food is just super, from the appetizers to the main dishes nothing has ever disappointed. When I walk through the door they know what I want to start off with and will occasionally recommend a new dish.“

“For a Chinese northern dumpling restaurant in Long Beach, it’s quite delicious. We had beer with various dishes & enjoyed a good afternoon watching people go by was a fabulous Americans still need to be familiar with Asian dining, not PFChang.They must be shorthanded since they only have one waitress & assistance. Kitchen staff must be overwhelmed as guests are coming in. This must be a fluke.“

“Looking for that American Style Chinese food you remember when you were growing up? The one with the zodiac placemats and the Po Po Platter? Minus the place mats this is the spot. I celebrated my 48th birthday there today and couldn't be happier. The waitress was so nice. Couldn't have asked for a better early dinner.“

“Good Chinese food with family or friends“

“It was my first time going to this restaurant and I was surprised to see Jjambbong served. First of all, the portion was large, the noodles were chewy, and the soup was like a thick jjamppong soup.
The downside was that the soup was too hot and there was too much of it, but I ate it well.“

“The family was in the mood for some Korean Chinese food and the place closer to my house was closed so we found this place. With good reviews we decided to try it. For those that grew up with Korean Chinese food, this place is just like what you remember from back in the day. They didn't try to modernize anything and just kept it as is, just like it's supposed to be. Everything was good and it tasted fresh. I usually don't order Mongolian beef as most times, the meat is very chewy, but it wasn't here. It was tender and flavored very nicely. We also ordered the Noodles with Black Bean Sauce Noodle aka Jajangmyeon. I liked it but it wasn't great. My family on the other hand thought that it was great. The Sweet & Sour pork and the Fried Shrimp with hot garlic sauce were crunchy despite us ordering to go. Their portion size was also good. I find most places charge more AND reduce the portion size but here, although the prices did increase, the portion size is still good. That's a big plus in my book. Overall, I would come back here again and would recommend it to others.“

“Great place to stop in for good food. The ladies behind the counter are super nice and friendly. I always get orange chicken and theirs did not disappoint. I’m not a big chow mein fan, but I ate all of it with my 1 item combo. Almost all of the other customers ordered the wings, they looked delicious, but was more that I could eat.“

“The food here is SO good. But, they have messed up my order twice now with giving me my sides and they don’t give me all that I order. I ordered chow main, fried rice, and egg rolls and none of it was received. I called them and let them know I’m disabled and can’t come in to return my food and they told me to leave a note in my order to prevent this from happening again. Food is delicious so I keep coming back and I’m grateful they exist.

Vegetarian options: Amazing vegetarian and vegan selection. I get kung pao tofu, fried rice, chow main, hot and sour soup, and egg rolls are all a must!!!“

“Pleasantly surprised with this little gem. 11 bucks for 3 meat option and everything was enjoyable. The BBQ chicken was the stand out with the teriyaki chicken a close second.

Next time I’m down there this will be my go to lunch.“

“I'm very pleased with the food, taste and service. Definitely try the chicken Tika marsala.“

“This is a chain restaurant, so there were no surprises about what to expect as we've been to one before. This chang was accommodating to a larger group of us and delivered on the expectation.
(A per peeve of mine is a sticky table. The table was clean. However, the carrousel in the table was tacky)“

“Great delicious halal Chinese food“

“Good service and good food“

“Flavourful foods! Menus have more varieties now.. 👍🏽“

“The food is cooked to order made fresh, hot, and ready after a generous amount of time. I used to go to Chinese Deli, in Carson since the’80’s, but I really feel that this place that I began eating at, this year, is more to my liking. I was born in Long Beach, raised in Wilmington, lived in Carson, love Manhattan Beach area, but I dwell in Long Beach now and am experiencing new places when I can afford it and it’s fabulous food like this place. The female that greets you is very precise, thorough, and attentive. Gotta love it!!!

Parking: Happy Family, House Fried Rice, and ice cold drinks available and delicious every time. Parking lot always has room“

“I love it here. My wife and I are always talking to the owner. She's very friendly. The food is made fresh in portions for the day. Not only is It cheap but you get more than your money's worth here. I don't go to any other Chinese fast food place other than here. I'm just patiently waiting for her to come back from so I can buy some more. She should be back somewhere around August 2024 for those wondering why it's been closed since late June, she went in vacation. I've been counting down the days. I've even asked my wife to check to see if maybe she's there today lol. It's that good“

“Just want some of that good old fashioned Chinese take out? Look no further, China Star Express has got you covered. Even better if you're on a budget, they give you large portions and great lunch/dinner specials keeping you fuller than a club going up on a Tuesday.“

“First timer to this local chain of restaurants with several in SoCal. Very popular reviews with taste, quantity, and value. We ordered based upon recommendations of reviews and were not disappointed overall. The noodle bowls were well assembled and flavorfull. The dumplings were quite descent as a side to noodle bowls. The green onion pancakes were insufficiently onion sprinkled and lacked flavor. Service was efficient and fast. Complete a paper check box order sheet with reference to a pictured menu and not much needed for a waiter person. Overall, Northern Cafe is worthy of return visit. The Cafe was busy with a cue outside for dinner.“

“Today at M’s kitchen, I went with the chef’s suggestion of “cold noodles” (which is the meat sauce noodle with soy bean paste, ask for cold noodles). The pronunciation sounds like Tsa Chang lian mein, and while my mandarin is terrible the food was thankfully not. The cold noodles, cucumbers, and pork sauce hit the spot in this warm California afternoon and i couldn’t be more satisfied with both the taste and my full stomach. 10/10 Would eat again. —Recommendations— For those who want a comforting dinning experience, Treat yourself to these delicious dishes: -general tso’s chicken -spicy diced chicken -green onion pancakes -braised string beans -house special beef -braised shrimp -cold meat sauce noodle with soy bean paste —Finger foods for your office/party— For those looking to feed your office finger foods ask for a party tray (I’d get the last 3 since they are more likely “known” by the people you are feeding): -spicy diced chicken -xiao long bao -pan fried dumplings -spring rolls -green onion pancakes When in doubt, do not be afraid to ask Monica the owner for suggestions. I’ve been coming here for the past 3 years and I have always left satisfied.“

“What an outstanding place to have lunch or dinner. They offer a senior discount and when you walk in the door they greet you like you are family. I don't live very close to them but when I'm in town I always stop there.
Great job Jumbo “

“Haven't tried it yet, but I've seen great reviews online and will definitely go when I get a chance.“

“Delicious vegetarian food at good prices. High backed private booths and great service.“

“Incredibly fresh, not greasy, lovely wood detailing in the dining room. Had the chefs filet which was tender and amazingly black pepper with onion. Also the black bean shrimp was fantastic with bell pepper and chili.

Parking: Small parking lot, plenty of parking at 730pm Sunday“

“Good old fashioned Chinese food delivered right to your doorstep. Friendly people ~ food delicious 😋“

“My fav Chinese food. Best egg rolls in the OC out of all the places I have tried. The owners are so sweet, and they even remember items u order regularly. I try to go every week or other week on my Chiropractor days or Trader Joe shopping. I luv it and if I am alone, I still go. The atmosphere is very calming with u sitting with your complimentary tea. I even order online takeout. Can't say enough good things about it.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have handicap spaces and ramps.“

“First timer. Recently moved to the area and was looking for a nice Chinese food spot. Decided to try and they did not disappoint. The female worker was so accommodating. It was 30 min before closing and they cooked up our food fresh. The orange chicken was on point. Besides the food we also tried the Matcha Green Tea and Thai tea Boba so delish. Will be returning soon. Definitely recommend.“

“Today, I visited the restaurant and my family ordered steamed duck noodles. The first thing to mention is the delicious aroma. After eating, the rich and delicious taste of the steamed duck noodles is absolutely delicious. If you like stewed duck noodles, you should not miss it. It's really delicious. My family orders it. Add 2 servings of dried scallops and mixed greens to try.“

“If you like duck this is the place for you! Very delicious! There chow fun not so much, it doesn’t taste like anything?! I really hate that I bought two plates. There filet mignon was good. The crispy duck (Peking) you have to call a day ahead, it’s made to order.“

“Nice little place. I was looking for something different from the normal ramen or pho for dinner. I have had jjambbong at a couple of other places and they were good. This place was also good. I ordered the seafood with a rib soup dish and some dumplings. They did not disappoint. The dumplings were chicken with veggies. I put a couple in my soup and that really upped the flavor. The soup can be spicy to many and being an Asian dish it could start you on fire if not careful. I opted to try it mild and it still had some spice. It was a perfect for a cold night. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Ordered the chowmein, and it was fire. Good flavor, noodles were not soggy yummy all around. We also got the beef broccoli, and it was very tasty and well seasoned. Love how the broccoli kept its crunch and not overly soft. Would definitely recommend place based on those 2 dishes alone since it's simple. Can't wait to go back and try other stuff on the menu.“
