“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 great experience at P.F. Chang’s! The service was excellent, and our server was so kind, friendly, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was full of flavor.

Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back!“

Their portions a very generous with very fair prices. The service is always wonderful and friendly. I highly recommend to check them out. Lunch specials are great also!“

“Friendly waitress all tho the place was pack our waitress came back to check from time to time to see if we need it anything that's a 👍🏻. Once our food arrives she was a lot of help because other dishes were missing and taking longer to come out, but we where still being look out making sure they got out food right.Thanks it was a really nice first time visiting the place and having a good attention it really made our group of family welcome and enjoyable.“

“Good restaurant I love the food“

“This place has been in the community for decades and they’re well known for Korean owner but great, very decent reasonable prices and the black ink noodles. I had been to this place over 3 decades. Used to go here with my kid and/or with his friends & cousins. I also had through family Christmas for a group of 70 people. The place is big and can handle over 250 people easily with private rooms and common area. Parking is easy since they do have a good size of parking lot. Clean and simple but Chinese vibe for sure. The staff here are very nice, attentive, helpful and only guys (have not seen a woman beside the cashier or owner at the front desk). The menu has plenty & simple of typical Chinese or American/Chinese dishes. Don’t get me wrong, I like it and reminded me of the early years. Easy and fast turn around for sure. Tasty and nice portion, it’s not the best nor the worst but worth it for the price and yummy. This place used to be Packed all the time during lunch time or weekends & holiday. But it easy less these days. Took my kid and went here for late late lunch or very early dinner so just 3-4 tables but same taste, consistency and nice, warm service. So glad I stopped by, been a long time since I was here.“

“Delish! Been coming here for years!“

“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.👍🥰“

“Me and my son just came in for 3 entree combo. They show a lot of love to say the least and honestly I haven't had Chinese this good since my child hood. Just discovered this place, and I can say it just became our go to spot. Honestly this plate just feed me, my son, and my wife who swore she hates Chinese food till she tried this place. BBQ pork / mushroom chicken / orange chicken plate“

“I really love eating the beef fried rice at Lucky Chopsticks Cypress for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🥡🥢“

“I took my wife and daughter here because we wanted to try something different. Our waitress, Alyssa, was amazing. We explained to her we weren’t to familiar with how to order and she gave us some recommendations. We ordered everything she suggested and wow she nailed it. She was VERY patient. She always had a smile and was really on top of it. She was a 5 star herself. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you Alyssa. See you soon!“

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

“Happy Lamb offers a lunch special for $21.99 Monday through Friday, available until 3:00 PM (last call at 2:45 PM). The food is really good, and the service is decent. Overall, it’s a solid spot with good food and a reasonable midday deal.“

“Food: Grabbed a modest amount of fixings (i.e., veggies, seafood, meats, etc.) for my soup, which totaled out to be ~$13. Not too shabby. Opted for the beef bone broth; however, there was a taste/smell to it, reminiscent of lamb (I only got beef), which was unexpected and a bit off-putting for me.

Service: Decent. While it isn't a standard sit-down restaurant, be prepared to be charged a gratuity for a party of six or more.

Ambiance: Casual. Pretty spacious and clean, including the ingredient + sauce bar.

Parking: Ample parking, but located in a relatively busy/ high-traffic plaza, so parking could take a minute, during peak hours.“

“This place was always my go to when I was younger the food is bomb and the price is reasonable the cook and the cashier lady are really sweet Philippino couple. Every time I came here the lady will greet me with a smile and said I reminded her of her sister that passed away. I miss this place so much when I’m in my home town I definitely come here.“

“best vegetable dumplings ever! and i am very picky with my dumplings. if my toddler had a choice, she would eat at dan everyday. not to mention everyone is so nice - big shout out to ann and the servers for always making us feel welcome 🥟🥟🥟“

“Our favorite family owned Chinese restaurant is closed on Sundays, so we tried something new. Mu shu pork was delicious (better than our other favorite) and we’ve also enjoyed the Chinese chicken salad, Peking dumplings, and vegetable chow mein. Great service, great prices, and extremely generous portion sizes (actually wish they were smaller as we end up with too much food!) Highly recommend 💕“

“One of the best Mala ive ever had in the US. It tasted exactly like the malatang in korea and it wasnt too spicy or too sweet. The owner was so nice to us, and the workers were helpful and nice. The materials are fresh and the broth tastes really good.“

“Good Chinese food with family or friends“

“Great delicious halal Chinese food“

“A nice place without any pretension—simple, tasty, quick, and attentive service. The food is good, and the place is busy, which speaks to its solid reputation. I can’t say anything particularly outstanding, but there’s definitely nothing negative either. It’s comfortable and pleasant—great for a quick bite, a family dinner, or even a date if you’re not looking for anything too fancy or expecting a “wow” experience.

A perfect spot for a calm and comfortable conversation.

I’d recommend stopping by and forming your own impression.“

“What a pleasant surprise! I had 6 types of dim sum dishes and they were excellent! This place was a Japanese restaurant before that served highly westernized Japanese food. Not that the previous restaurant has anything to do with the current restaurant but I went in with not too high expectations. I will be a repeat customer for sure!“

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

“The food here is amazing. Honestly, they have some of the best broth I've ever tasted. The food is cooked to order and doesn't disappoint. The spicy beef noodles, pork dumplings, and crispy cucumbers are top tier (skip the Broccoli In Zanthoxylum Sauce...big bowl of mid). I have no complaints. Definitely recommend!!“

“10/10 Most delicious food with friendly customers service 😋 highly recommended 👌 👍“

“I love this place! One of the servers is great, she always fills my plate. However, today at about 12:30pm I went to pick up lunch and the server, short lady, not the one who is normally there. Was literally talking on the phone the whole time I’m ordering my food. What bothered me is that I asked for sauce on the side but being she’s on the phone she apparently didn’t hear me and poured the sauce on the food. I lacked to check and once I get back to my destination my sweet and sour chicken is all soggy. Get off your phone be professional so you can pay attention to what is being asked from the customer.“

“This was our first visit to the Cerritos location. I often choose restaurants based on reviews and enjoy trying new places, so I was curious to see how this one would compare. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the overall experience was better than I anticipated.

The seasoning was a little strong, and some dishes had a fairly familiar, standardized taste. Nothing was bad, and everything was prepared well, but I do feel a little disappointed when the authentic flavors of traditional Chinese food become less noticeable.

There were four of us, and we ordered about eight or nine of their most popular dishes. My parents really enjoyed the food. I have worked in China before, so I may be a little more sensitive and particular when it comes to Chinese food.

Overall, the restaurant has good reviews, the prices are reasonable, and it was a pretty good dining experience.“

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

“Been coming here for years. A family tradition place for us.“

“Small family friendly place. Food was really good, made fresh and very flavorful. Vegetarian friendly. Owner, Lisa is very sweet and attentive. Willing to modify dishes, level of spice, salt, oil etc per our taste.
Love the service here! I have already become a regular customer!“

“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.“

“Ok so we used to lived down the street from here. Approximately 2014 to 2015. One of those places that I get this nostalgia feeling...before we had our kids and before we have what we have now. The days of struggle. We used to get their deal buy 3 get 1 and we would eat it for a week. We just moved to California. We opened our clothing store and everything was tight budget. But this place in more ways saved us. They have the best bbq chicken in town and their portions is massive still...12 years later. My husband and I graduated from college...we adopted 2 kids...we came back to this place with pride and still got their specials. The owner is still the same.“

“Today was my 3rd time back. I have tried something new off their menu each visit. First visit was General Tso’s (my favorite), 2nd visit was Chicken Chow mein, today is Spicy Orange Chicken (move over General Tso’s, you’ve been replaced!). The staff is always friendly and helpful, the food is really good. When their menu says “spicy”, they mean a nice little kick and not a flamethrower!! I always order to go, 10 minutes and I am out the door. Portions are big (mine always makes 2 meals). I found my new favorite place 😁“

“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.“

“We tried this place for the first time and have to say the food was delicious. They have been in business for 40 years! The owner was very friendly. He guaranteed we would love our meal and he was right. The tangerine chicken and beef and broccoli were my favorite dish. Highly recommend you give them a try. I will be back again soon“

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

“After visiting the OC/LA area, we're on the way back to the Bay Area, we wanted to have some lunch before we go. Some of the restaurant closed on Monday, one our friends recommended this place for real excellent egg noodles soups, so we stopped by, it's right next to PLT the big VN shopping center.
There's no parking for this restaurant, the whole block has a few parking spots and there's parking on the PLT but always full. We had to park outside on a different shopping center.
The restaurant is small and simple, clean. The owner or the care taker seems to be extremely friendly and attentive sitting us on a table.
The menu has quite a few dishes, but we're concentrating on egg noodle soup for lunch so we ordered the special bowl of rice noodles instead of egg noodles. It's quite good, quite tasty with chinese crispy donuts.
We had a great lunch and the price is extremely inexpensive. Ready to drive home.“

“Stopped by around 130ish, 1st timer btw, food was okay, people said the service & food quality declined over the years & this experience definitely proved it. Had better Chinese food try Chinese Deli in Carson wayy better LOL👎👎“

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

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

“Delicious hand pulled noodles! Very authentic flavors at a fair price. Love the bouncy thick noodles. Had their beef and tendon noodles and the meat was humongous!

They also sell frozen dumplings in bags. Highly recommend!“

“I had my wedding at Diamond Seafood 3 in July 2024, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The venue owner - uncle Bao, is an absolute professional and a huge help throughout the entire process. We had so many questions leading up to the big day, and he was always there, patiently answering everything and providing guidance. What really stood out was his genuine care in making our wedding affordable - he offered suggestions to minimize our budget wherever possible, rather than pushing us to spend more on additional services!

The venue itself was beautifully decorated - simple yet elegant, which perfectly suited the atmosphere we wanted to create. The food was amazing, served in large portions, and absolutely delicious! The staff was also incredibly helpful and friendly, making sure everything ran smoothly.

After the wedding, we received so many compliments from our guests about both the food and the venue itself. I’m so grateful to uncle Bao for making our special day so beautiful and memorable. I highly recommend Diamond Seafood 3 to anyone looking for a wedding venue in OC - it truly exceeded our expectations!“

“The food is delicious!!!!! Always fresh, with so much flavor. Since I found this gem i am a weekly regular, if not more 😆 the owner is so kind, welcoming and sincere. The food is bomb and the environment it 🔥 what more could you ask for! Two very high thumbs up!“

“Great Wok Chinese Restaurant was excellent. I ordered the egg rolls, chicken chow mein, and Mongolian beef with white rice. The food was delicious, portions were generous for the price, and my delivery arrived hot and fresh. Definitely ordering again.“
