“Great experience here, the crispy orange chicken was delicious, the soup, salad and egg roll was good too. The only issue I had was getting a drink refill, I asked for a refill and didn’t receive one, I had to forgo finishing my meal because I didn’t have a drink.“

“We had a dinner get together with family about 20 people… the food was great but Alejandra who waited for us was phenomenal. Can you imagine 20 of us, but we never had to ask for another drink, she automatically filled our glasses and she had a smile all the time. She was good in assisting our gluten free family members on what food items was available. We didn’t have to wait long for the food to be served. The service was smooth, she was quick, polite, and patient…she is one of a kind…we all enjoyed our dinner and time with family. Thanks to you Alejandra!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“I really love Panda Inn in La Palma, California for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🥡🥢“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Came here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by how full the dining room was — always a good sign. The vibe was classic and nostalgic: red carpets, framed press clippings, a very cash-blessed Buddha at the entrance, and servers who move with the quiet efficiency of a place that’s been doing this right for decades.

We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and the fried pork chops with jalapeños — both excellent. The noodles were perfectly chewy with a subtle smoky wok flavor, not too oily, and generous with chicken and vegetables. The pork chops were addictive — crispy on the outside, tender inside, with just the right kick from the jalapeños.

Service was kind and fast. Portions were generous. Prices reasonable. There’s something reassuring about a restaurant that isn’t trying to be trendy — just consistently good.

Would absolutely come back. Next time, I’m bringing more people so we can order half the menu.“

“We were in from out of town celebrating my wife’s birthday and Billy was our server.

Billy was fantastic, the drinks were never empty the food order was correct and Billy was a delight every time we spoke

He made our night! Thank you Billy!!!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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.👍🥰“

“We are grateful to have hosted our wedding at the Diamond Seafood Palace #3. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, thoughtful, and above all – stress-free. We had been searching for a venue that could comfortably accommodate 300–400 guests, felt modern and elegant, and offered great value. After speaking with multiple places, the team here stood out immediately for their responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care, especially Laura, who helped us understand what the venue provided before we booked it.

Our ceremony and reception both took place inside the restaurant, and even though another event was happening in a different section of the venue, we barely noticed thanks to the effective soundproofing.

The space had a romantic and modern vibe, complete with golden chairs, multiple LED screens showcasing our wedding photos, custom lighting with our names on the dance floor, and a romantic sweetheart table. We were amazed at how much was included: from elegant aisle décor and a red carpet entrance to a seating chart mirror and photobooth. The centerpieces were tasteful and truly brought the whole look together.

Guests enjoyed how spacious the venue was and loved the delicious food – with plenty of generous portions and leftovers to bring home. The service was outstanding; every waiter was attentive and efficient, making sure everyone felt well taken care of.

A major highlight was our venue coordinator, Anh Bao, who was not only calm and easy to work with, but also accommodating. When we realized last-minute that we had under-ordered beer, he quickly helped us get more without any hassle.

If you’re looking for a venue that delivers elegance, value, and above-and-beyond service, we can’t recommend Diamond Seafood Palace #3 enough. Our wedding day was unforgettable, and this venue played a huge part in making it so special.“

“just ordered food from China Gourmet in Signal Hill, Ca.. upon entering the restaurant a young man greeted me with a hello. He was pleasent and welcoming. He took my order of mushroom chicken, mixed vegetables and rice with a two order combo. I had BBQ pork, half and half and jalapeño chicken, with two drinks. Returned home and started to dive in! WOW IT WAS AMAZING! The pork was cooked just right, the chicken was extremely delicious and chow mein was actual chow mein and not Top Ramen noodles substitute. my friend who ordered the mushroom chicken and vegetables couldn't stop eating. I've been to numerous fast Chinese food places and none of them have been as good as this place with the quality of food and the amount given. the price was moderate in today's society of price gouging it was $27 and well worth it. if you enjoy Chinese food and really want to get a bang for your buck as well as and enjoyment of flavors in your mouth go to China Gourmet!“

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

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

“Delicious food! What I appreciated most is that they were diligent in addressing a gluten allergy in my family. In addition to having allergies checkable on the ordering website, they also called me to ensure I knew that some of the items we ordered were not gluten free.

It made us feel very very safe in ordering with a good allergy!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good Chinese food with family or friends“

“Good food, Neighborhood spot, you'll always get service with a smile, care and conversation. Fried rice is flavorful as is the chow mein. My favorite is spicy teriyaki and mushroom chicken, kung Pao chicken all made by the husband, and son chef in the kitchen, and yes you can see them cooking the food. 😋“

“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.“

“As a long time resident of the local area, been coming here for years. Same original owners and always the same excellent friendly service and food. Establishments like these needs to be protected at all costs. I know when they finally decide to retire, the restaurant will be going with them, which will be a sad day and loss for the local community. So I come here whenever I can to share a friendly smile and enjoy some Chinese food.“

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

“Such an amazing hole in the wall Chinese restaurant! The food is fresh, cooked well, and the ladies are so pleasant to work with!

Only 4 stars for atmosphere because you gotta take and go. Nowhere to eat. And that's totally fine!“

“Good service and good food“

“This place has been around for 40 years plus. Old seafood tanks. Taped up wallboards. Liquor bottles by the registers. Okay portions. Lunch specials are good deals. Not charged extra for rice or tea. Quick service. Own parking lot is closed off to other lots.“

“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.“

“Came in for dinner ordered a combo plate. Was delicious. Very friendly. Great customer service. Ordered water for my drink I was expecting a regular glass of tap water, but was offered a bottle of water free of charge. I'm definitely coming back. I would eat over any food chain. # support small business owners.“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“Wonton soup with the bread is perfect for this chilly morning.“

“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.“

“Great delicious halal Chinese food“

“I love egg noodles either dry or soup. My favorite place to go for that is Dakao. Their dry noodle oyster sauce is very tasty and their egg noodles cooked just right. It had shrimp, fish balls, pork liver, heart, pork shoulder and beans sprout upon request. Staffs were nice and friendly.“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Northern Cafe in Cerritos, and it’s quickly become a new favorite! The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful, authentic, and well-prepared. The portion sizes were huge, perfect for a family meal, and everything we ordered was spot-on. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff that made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area and looking for great Chinese food. Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“We came on a Sunday evening around 5PM. It was very quiet but they were quite busy with taking phone orders. So busy that we had to wait about 15 before being brought drinks or taking our order. It was also a little difficult to get the waitress's attention as she was taking the phone orders. Other than that the staff was very nice and the food was good and ample.“

“Dragon express has really good Chinese food 😋, especially the sesame chicken (a must try if u have not) and their chow main. I tried thier strawberry green tea but I was not for me, to sweet for my buds! Overall great food, portions, and price. Their chilli oil can be a bit more spicy IMO. You can taste the flavor in the food, not like other Chinese food places where it taste like a burnt Wok or bland. I will be eating here again, thank u dragon express for the flavorful food!“

“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.“

“Must stop by and visit now! They’re currently offering up to 50% off almost their entire menu! Limited time only!

Parking: This is Huntington Beach .. parking can be difficult. We got lucky with a spot right in front of the restaurant. It was metered parking with the first 2 hours being free. I noticed there was also other street metered parking across the way.

Ambiance/Environment: Very warm and welcoming. It’s very spacious with plenty of indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. Great for large groups.

Service: Shout out to our server Abril! She was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the menu, refilled our waters when needed, and checked on us while eating.

Food & Drinks:

1) Burning Titan - This was recommended to us since this was their “must try” entrees. I had the choice of substituting the meat and noodles, but I decided to leave everything as is. This only came in one size, and I’d consider it a large bowl. They were very generous with the brisket beef and amount of ramen. The soup was definitely spicy and flavorful.

2) Kung Pao Chicken - My partner wanted a rice dish. I tried his dish, and this is definitely better than Panda Express! It wasn’t too spicy though, nor was it salty. There wasn’t as many peanuts as we thought. There was a good amount of chicken to rice ratio.

3) Crispy Wonton - I like their twist on the wontons because not only did it have cream cheese, but it also had avocado! The wonton was crispppyyy with a beautiful brown color. Though, I wish it had more filling of cream cheese and avocado. Don’t forget to dip it in the sweet sauce!

4) Thai Tea with boba - This wasn’t too sweet. The boba was decently chewy. The tea had a weird aftertaste, so I think they could work on this item.

5) Vietnamese Ice Coffee - I’m a crackhead for caffeine, so of course I ordered a Viet coffee in the evening. You know it’s concentrated when they don’t fill the cup up all the way. This is what I call a Viet coffee!

Pricing: I’d say it’s definitely worth its price. We visited while they were still offering their deals. Can’t deny a bowl of pho starting at $9.99. Especially in this inflation, that’s a steal.“
