Taiwanese Restaurants near Tustin, CA

“We ordered takeouts of stewed pork and bbq pork sandwich. The stewed pork’s flavor was okay, but the lean part of the pork was not too tough. The bbq pork sandwich was very good and authentic. So this place averages a 3.5 star.Parking: Spaces are tight here.“

“The Tustin location has introduced a new dish, after seeing it on Instagram, I couldn't resist giving it a try!Initially, I was concerned that the crispy skin might make the chicken dry, but my worries were quickly dispelled with the first bite—it was incredibly juicy!Of course, I couldn't resist ordering dumplings as well. For me, dumplings are the epitome of Chinese cuisine, so I make sure to order them every time I visit.“

“Comfortable dining atmosphere with a great song playlist. The porkchops and stinky tofu dishes are fantastic. Moreover, the garlic sauce is authentically delicious. Ordering in-store had a long wait time, so it's better to order online or phone ahead. Staff is great.“

“Good food and the best dessert in town.If you’re looking for oily spicy stir-fry Chinese food, this is NOT the place to go.Everything here is refreshing healthy, and tasty. It is very different from any Chinese restaurant. I like it very much. It might be my personal preference. But me and my family really enjoyed their food.“

“Absolutely delicious and one of the better Din Tai Fung locations I’ve eaten at. In fact it’s better than the one I had in Taichung. We waited for just 35 minutes for lunch on a Tuesday at 1230pm. Got the pork soup dumplings (must) - the skin of the dumpling was made perfectly, which is hard to find when eating soup dumplings outside of Asia.Also got the pork fried rice, spicy shrimp wonton, green beans, and wood ear“

“A&J has been one of my favorite spots for Taiwanese food for the past 7-8 years. I initially came here with my sister all those years ago to get from beef rolls. Over the years, I began taking my friends and they once accused me of "gatekeeping" A&J from them because of how delicious their food is. My personal favorites whenever I come to A&J are the beef rolls, scallion pancakes, and sesame peanut noodles (113 on the menu). The beef rolls are a classic dish with tender beef and green onion wrapped around a crispy scallion pancake. The sesame peanut noodles are great if you enjoy noodles coated in a creamy sauce. My favorite thing to do is to order extra scallion pancakes on the side so that you can dip it in the leftover sesame peanut sauce after you finish your noodles! A&J will always be a staple when it comes to Taiwanese food and I will always find a reason to come back! :)“

“Comfort food!! Delicious variety of soups and garlic noodles! The garlic noodles were packed with flavor and the green sauce that came with it was AMAZING! I like my soup hot so it was nice to have it boiling and you’re able to request it to turn off at anytime. I also love the dipping sauces. Service was AMAZING! Everyone was so friendly and we even got some milk tea at the end of our meal??“

“Hidden Gem of IrvineFast, Fresh, and Friendly! Sandwiches and Asian home cooking served with a smile. This is a Family Owned Business, ran by the same Asian couple everyday. The woman at the front counter is always happy and sweet, and the man making the food in the back is dedicated to his craft. They offer a large menu with variety for any pallet. I get the Home Cooked Stewed Pork Plate every time, highly recommended! Indoor and Outdoor seating available. Please give them a try!“

“Yu’s garden is located in the same ranch 99 plaza but on the right side.It is a small chinese porridge shop that has limited seating but very easy and fast takeout options for ppl who are on the go.They have a bunch of side dishes laid out at the counter and you either tell them you want two or three per bento box. Each box comes with a bowl of porridge or rice whichever you choose.The way to order is you go to the back and point or tell them which one you want and you can order multiple bento boxes of your choice. ($11.50 pretax for 3 side dishes)This place has been here a long time and is a known local shop that has served Irvine folks.Parking is ample but may get packed cuz of the plaza.10/10 would recommend!“

“I went here because all the other ramen places I enjoy closed down. Was pleasantly surprised by how the food was. The service was good though I can’t say much because they weren’t there that long. The atmosphere was pretty calming and the music was a 7/10 in my opinion. Overall this place has good food, good service, and a good atmosphere.“

“Man the glaze on top of the fresh baked bun was so speaking to the eye. Service was goood very helpful because they have so many items baked food and also hot food out the back which I went and got a Thai ice tea that was really good as well. Ambiance is very. Quiet for the most part. You could go there and get some work done and also have a chill conversation with a friend over food or a coffee. They also have really cool anime you can read as well.“

“They doubled the meat!!! Prices didn't increase that much. Apparently they offer a small bowl of noodles for kids, which is standard for pho restaurants. Been going there for years and i never knew that.Vegetarian options: They have it, I don't order itParking: Parking is fine. Get there early.Kid-friendliness: The kids love the robot servers, their own water cups and the jello dessert.“

“Oh, I love this place! I always got the Mango Green Milk Tea, and always went! Once I moved to New Mexico (where I am now), I just can’t match the same. I loved the tea and if I come back for whatever reason, this will be the first place I go go when I arrive!“

“Really enjoyed this place. I wanted one of everything all at the same time. I opted for the Sirloin steak on a hot sizzling lava stone, so it never ever got cold. It's a little more fatty than I like, but it's still really good.“

“This restaurant has a good variety of authentic Chinese dishes. We got the braised pork ($14.95), lamb casserole ($14.95), and eggplant ($9.95). For the price, I have to say I was impressed! The braised pork had mostly really tender pieces and great flavor. The lamb casserole had a strong lamb flavor and delicious noodles in it! I thought the lamb pieces were kind of tough. The eggplant was delicious. We asked for less spicy, and it was perfect.“

“We ordered Shanghai style stir-fried noodles and Shanghai style pan-fried pork buns. I highly recommended these two dishes. Both of them taste super good. My husband and I really enjoyed the authentic tastes of Shanghai cuisine. Dish portion is big and price is reasonable.“

“The location has a nice ambiance and is relatively clean inside. The people working there were able to get two drinks done in 5 minutes or so and answered the questions I had regarding their sweetener levels and typical drinks quickly. We ordered a matcha milk tea and peach mango berry slushy. The slushy is very sweet at the default sweetness (if you enjoy fruity drinks with a lot of sugar this would be a good pick) and had actual chunks of the fruit in it, which is a fairly good feature. However, the matcha milk tea did not seem to have much matcha in it at all (notably lacking the flavor and color, giving off the impression of too much milk) and tasted something like a Hokkaido roasted milk tea rather than matcha. Despite this, their boba was very chewy and flavorful so I am giving it 4 stars for the other drink and the boba texture.“

“Their green tea drink is very refreshing when ordered just slightly sweet I like their shaved ice but just wish their fruits were a bit sweeter or more ripe. But overall, this is a good dessert place that is super close to my parents house so will frequent more often.“

“我很喜歡去 Class 302 的飯館吃飯. 這家飯館的停車場很大, 所以停車很容易. 我覺得服務很快,還有服務員人都很好. 我覺得這家飯館的環境很好. 沒有太大聲也沒有太安靜. 他們的桌子和椅子的樣子也很好看. Class 302 的鹽酥雞最好吃. 他們的鹽酥雞吃起來很脆. Class 302 的炒飯也好吃極了. 他們炒飯的味道特別好. 我也很喜歡他們的奶茶. 喝起來甜甜的. 我最喜歡這家餐廳,你應該試試看.“

“it was great!! we had the pudding & q mochi milk shaved ice dish, and it was amazing! lots of different delicious components and was worth the price. a medium sized shaved ice dish was $11 for three people! my aunt says the taiwanese are much smarter than the american for putting different desserts on top of the ice instead of coloring it.edit: my mom is still chasing the high of this dish. she tries so hard to find something like this everywhere we go, because we were just vising california. we loved it!“

“Relaxed atmosphere, very home like tables and chairs. Almost too relaxed. Order with the menu instead of the code in the table, the online order Numbers aren't exactly the same. I ordered an 18 expecting to get popcorn chicken and I got white rice because that's 18 on the printed menu.“

“Boiling Point will always have a special place in my heart. One of the best franchises when it comes to doing hot pot by the pot correctly! My go-to is the Beef Hot Pot; however, recently, my parents wanted to try the Lamb Hot Pot the day we went! I have to say; that might have to be my new favorite. The broth for the lamb is much more flavorful and rich compared to the beef. Yet, if you like a cleaner taste, I do have to say that the beef is always a solid option. Each of the pot has their own set of items catered to what the company feels best matches. You have a choice from choosing a complementary rice or vermicelli. Lots of cabbage, mushroom, meats, tofu, and all sorts of goodness whenever eating any one of their pots. They have many varieties to choose from when it comes to picking out the best pot for you. House Special, Seafood & Tofu, Taiwanese Spicy (another personal favorite but is TERRIFYINGLY SPICY), etc., are some of the few from their wide range of selection. Add ons are also available! A tip for students is that if you are planning to eat within this month of September 2023, you can show a valid student ID and receive one free add-on (up to a $5 value). If you also go before 3:30 PM, you can receive a complementary green or black tea of your choice! Their boba is usually a hit or miss as well. Sometimes, it's HELLAA GOOD! And other times, it's not that good.. My go-to drink is their Milk Green Tea with Boba, but my friends often get their Hokkaido Milk Tea with Boba.For the service, I have to give a shoutout to our server, Khoa! He was really helpful when it came to my parents ordering since they are not English speakers. He even double-checked for us if there were extra green teas in the back from the morning, but there was not sadly. I know that a lot of people give this place a very low review when it comes to service, but I do believe some people do feel entitled when it comes to this place. Typically, on weekends, the wait does get pretty hefty. Therefore, people are angry with the speed of which they get seated. However, you have to kind of expect it from a popular place in OC. People should not be blaming the workers for how many people are dying to eat at their restaurant.“
