Some of the food was ridiculously overpriced, and the taste wasn’t great either — clearly not worth the cost. The service was also below standard. I won’t be returning.

One of the best Chinese fine dinning restaurants I've ever been in California. 10/10 for interior design. Magnificent decoration! Restaurant looks a bit hidden and low profile from the outside, but inside is definitely Impressive! We ordered almost 10 dishes, for 7 people, every dish was great. Delicious and unique. Peking duck, the beef, shrimps+lychee, and fish are great. However, Peking Duck and fish fishes were quite pricey. It's recommended to pre-order Peking duck in advance. Service was great.

Party of 2 went for a celebratory lunch on a Friday in September. We had made a reservation via phone call a day in advance, and they had asked us to be ready for the duck carving performance to begin at 12:15pm. The flame show lasts only 5-10 seconds, so be ready with your phones if you want a nice photo/video. The duck itself was cooked to perfection, with the staff separating it into crispy skin, and a couple different levels of crispness for the interior meat for us, and the presentation is also very nice. We went through 3 bowls of pita plus a couple of cocktails. They provide enough hot sauce with nuts, hoisin sauce, sugar, cucumber, pear, scallions, and were always around asking if we needed any extra. Total before tips came to around 200$. The interior decor of the restaurant is really nice, and I also quite liked the architecture of the plaza in general. Easy to find a parking spot although the area in general was crowded.

This restaurant has way too many gimmicks! The dim lighting was so bad you could barely see what you were eating, and the food was overpriced and not authentic at all. I had a miserable birthday experience there and won’t be going back. It was a complete rip-off!

Possibly: The best Chinese cuisine in California! The best and most courteous, non pretentious dinner care, period! The cleanest restroom, period! The one and only Peking Duck or rather Chang An Duck.

The Best Peking Duck in all OC!!!
If you’re searching for the best Peking Duck in all of Orange County, look no further than Chang’An in Tustin. This is not just dinner — it’s a presentation and an experience. The duck is brought out whole and carved tableside with such precision that it feels almost ceremonial. The skin is glistening and perfectly crisp, while the meat is tender, juicy, and full of flavor.
What makes it even more special is that the Peking Duck is served both smoked and non-smoked, so you get to enjoy the best of both preparations in one meal. They’ll present slices of each style so you can taste the contrast, and it’s truly unforgettable. Just make sure to pre-order the duck in advance when making your reservation, because it’s the highlight of the menu and always in demand.
It’s served with pillowy buns, thin pancakes, and the classic condiments so you can build your perfect bite. The balance of textures and flavors is outstanding.
I usually pair it with their cilantro onion salad, which is light, refreshing, and the perfect counterbalance to the richness of the duck. It rounds out the meal beautifully without overshadowing the star of the show.
Truly, the Peking Duck at Chang’An is unmatched in Orange County. From the flawless presentation to the unforgettable taste, this dish alone is worth the trip. Highly recommend for anyone who wants an authentic and elevated dining experience.

Overpriced with the “fine dining set up”. They have the food decor and the expensive environment, I’ll give them that. But that’s all to it. 80% of what we ordered (lamb stick, fried rice, ribs,..) were like 4/10 for the price. Din tai fung is way better with more reasonable prices. Really quiet for a Friday night.

I love the decor and vibe. The food is decent too :)
Food: the duck is exceptional good, very close to peking duck in China. But this is the only item that is good. Too bad they limit their best dish to one per table. All the other dishes are mediocre at best. The taste is plain. Price: expensive for medium service. The restaurant is no-where near fine dining service yet they’re charging you rate above fine dining service. Atmosphere: nice decoration, old chinese style. But not a kids friendly restaurants as there are many loose object and kids don’t sit still. Value: overall bad value.

We had our Father's Day lunch here after a glowing recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. We were here for the Peking duck but the other dishes impressed as well. Service was friendly and the ambiance was classy and comfortable. Will return for sure!

The service was shockingly bad—especially the manager, who was beyond unprofessional. The restaurant’s hygiene is also a major concern. I actually found a fly in my food. When I brought it to the manager’s attention, he didn’t apologize, didn’t offer a solution, not even a single word of regret. It honestly made me question whether he had any sense of responsibility at all. With a manager like this, and service this poor, the place feels like a complete disaster. Would never come back.
