50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Villa Park

“This is my favorite spot to go to! The food is spectacular and the staff is always helpful and efficient! It gets pretty busy so we usually make a reservation to avoid waiting too long. There are 2 areas for dining and a bar area. The food is consistently good every time and they keep checking on drinks for refills. The hot tea is always good too. My favorites are the won ton soup, egg fried rice and the sweet and sour chicken. It gets a little loud sometimes because it gets really busy but it's not too hard to hear each other talk“

“Had an amazing experience at Haidilao! The food was fresh, high quality, and there was a great variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables to choose from. The broth was flavorful, and everything came out quickly.

What really stood out was the exceptional customer service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and constantly checked to make sure we had everything we needed. They went above and beyond to make the dining experience enjoyable.

The restaurant was clean, well organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for delicious hot pot and outstanding service, I highly recommend Haidilao. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Awesome restaurant!

Service, food, and atmosphere was excellent. We ordered 2 fried noodles, cucumber salad, and beef noodle soup. The beef noodle soup was very aromatic with very well cooked noodles, and flavorful beef. The fried noodles were good but could’ve been boiled a bit longer but the flavor was nice. Cucumber noodles had an amazing taste, with a bomb of flavor. They were savory, spicy, and sweet. Serve was great and always checked up on us. The atmosphere was filled with kind people, with calm music, comfortable seats, and overall very clean. Dishes were also at a reasonable price. Great place for everyone!“

“Amazing food, excellent service, & huge portions with very reasonable prices. I ordered the 3-item combo and got the beef broccoli, orange chicken, & chow mein. I'm 6ft 2in and ~225 lbs and couldn't finish my plate and i have enough leftover for a meal tomorrow. The couple behind the counter were very kind and saw me and my gf eyeing the honey chicken and gave us samples. Very cute and sweet, the fruit tea drinks were amazing too. The portion size you get is so worth it, I'm only coming here now vs the big chain competition, they were super caring and sweet answering our questions and helping with our special requests. 10/10 I'll probably be back when my leftovers run out this weekend.“

“I have been coming here for a long time. I have tried a few different dishes & every one was wonderful. But I moved to Anaheim a year ago. So I don't get to come here as often. But when I do I always get the Moo Shoo Pork with extra pancakes. The staff is ALWAYS happy to see me. They are so friendly. It's a great place for take out or a great place to bring the family along Either way you won't be disappointed.i highly recommend if you are in the area to go there?“

“01SEP2024 | Nice to Meet You Skewer Hot Pot is a chic hotpot restaurant. My first impression was that it was clean, with delicious food and attentive service. The prices are just right for the quality of the food and ingredients. I would give it a 10 out of 10, and we will definitely be coming back.“

“Great little spot! It’s a bit on the cozy side, so expect a 15–20 minute wait during peak times, but it’s completely worth it. Everything we ordered was fantastic—the scallion oil noodles were super flavorful, the pan-fried dumplings had that perfect crispy bottom, and the fried cutlet was extra crispy and delicious with the dipping sauce. Plus, having free parking right outside makes coming here super easy. Will definitely be back!“

“I personally love their jajangmyeon. The best jajangmyeon I ever had was at Yong Moon Lu @ Rowland Heights (please try their gan-jajangmyeon/간짜장), but this one is pretty good too. The jjamppong is not bad either.

I will definitely come here again.“

“Absolutely delicious lamb chops with rice! I’ve been here many times, and the flavor is consistently excellent. I’m from Inner Mongolia, so I have pretty high standards when it comes to lamb — and this place definitely satisfies my craving. The lamb is flavorful, tender, and cooked really well. Highly recommended!“

“Had the best food at Smoke Queen Barbecue: the tri tip, chicken, sausage, ribs, and delicious sides were all fall off the bone fantastic. Try the sesame slaw with spicy cucumbers, macaroni and cheese and fries. We loved the banana pudding, bread pudding, beers on tap, all with a great smile and playground to enjoy with our family. If you haven’t tried Smoke Queen Barbecue, you are missing out. So scrumptious!“

“This place is a Tustin icon. The food I great and the portions or stellar. I got the the combo B (half rice and half chow mien with orange chicken and pepper chicken) and it's enough food to last me two meals, and for 11 dollars. Service is great and everything is fresh. Definitely recommend for a quick bite.“

“Dined in for lunch as a group of 20 plus friends. Wonderful food, the meat soup filled 10 bowls, the special tea also filled 10 cups, each dish was large and ample for sharing.

All dishes we ordered tasted fantastic. Can’t recommend it enough.“

“Really enjoyed the malatang here. The broth has great flavor with a good balance of spice and numbness, and the ingredients taste fresh and clean. Portions are generous and pricing feels fair. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back and try different combinations. Overall a solid spot for malatang.“

“Really surprised me how good the food was,.. generous portions and everything was served Fresh & Hot....
Shrimp fried rice, chicken Chow mein, Orange chicken... all really good ...
read the reviews after sitting down and had mediocre expectations But you guys surprised me, everything was flavorful & I left happy, will be back !!!“

“What an awesome little restaurant that popped up here. Was looking to try something new and found this amazing little bao spot. The most amazing thing is how they fry these bao. The bottom is hard and crunchy and the top is soft, making a soup filled bao in either seafood, curry or the standard pork. They sell them in quantities of 6 and 2 to 3 is enough to fill me! Highly recommend a quick lunch or dinner here, you won’t be disappointed in the authentic flavors.“

“Excellent service and presentation from the servers to the owners acting as MC. Very organized. I'm impressed. I would recommend to do your event here.“

“I don’t claim to be a connoisseur in Asian cuisine. I do like fresh, variety, spices, sauces and appreciate courteous efficient service. My second visit. Was not disappointed. The wait to be seated is long. Would not have waited but one person in our group was visiting from out of state and insisted.“

“I’m really glad we found this place, and it’s highly recommended if you are slightly adventurous and trying out some ethnic Chinese flavors.

Everything we ordered was excellent. We knew the crispy lamb buns (aka Chinese Burger) was going to be good, but not sure about the $20 fried pork which was #1 chef recommendations, it turned out to be delightful.

The lamb soup came out first, it was tasty and refreshing, Liang pi was cool, you don’t get it in many places. String beans were nicely done, a delicious necessity to balance out the meal.

The first bite of crispy lamb buns was a delightful surprise: crunchy layered thin bread and lamb with slightly cumin, it was an amazing feast.

Fried pork is an even more interesting surprise that I would not spoil. Ha ha. Try it to find out!

Service was fine, we were seats and water was provided quickly. Orders are done by scanning QR code, browsing the online menu, and order directly. I find this efficient but lacking some personal interactions.

We did purposely ordered a lot for the two of us, we obviously didn’t finish. I was surprised the bill wasn’t as much as I expected. We got a lot of leftovers to go and enjoyed rest at home.“

“​I was in charge of ordering Chinese food for a big crowd for my aunt's birthday party, and since KBP Asian Bistro was close by, I gave it a shot. Honest review: seeing how quiet the restaurant was at first made me second-guess my choice, but I'm so glad I stuck with it! Everyone at the party devoured the food. It was amazingly fresh and flavorful, and the orange chicken was easily my favorite. We had zero leftovers, which speaks for itself. I'll definitely be coming back here for all my Chinese food cravings!“

“valuable, set lunch very good. especially Chai Siu Fired rice, homemade Chao Siu is really taste good.“

“This new Chinese restaurant in Irvine is such a great spot for group gatherings, and they even have $9.90 special dishes!

The restaurant has a comfortable and spacious Chinese-style interior, with large tables that are perfect for groups. We sat together, enjoyed our meal, and planned our upcoming Mexico trip at the same time!

Since we had a bigger group, we ordered Set Menu #4 for $128.95 and chose the Green Peppercorn Fish 🐟 as our main dish. The fish was tender, and the fragrant peppercorn flavor made it really appetizing! The set also came with half a roast duck, sweet & sour ribs, stir-fried vegetables, duck soup, brown sugar rice cakes, and four bowls of rice. It was such a generous spread!

I really like set menus like this for group dinners because no one has to spend forever deciding what to order 😂. The roast duck was great for sharing, and the sweet & sour ribs were flavorful and perfect with rice. We finished the meal with the soft and chewy brown sugar rice cakes, which were a nice sweet ending. Since we had quite a few people, we also ordered a few extra dishes to share.

They currently have two different promotions ✨ There are five selected $9.90 dishes available Monday through Sunday, and you can choose up to two. They also offer four dine-in set menus from Monday through Friday, including the Set Menu #4 we ordered. The two promotions cannot be combined, and the set-menu promotion is not available on weekends.“

“Delicioso 🤤, el restaurante favorito de toda la familia.“

“Ok, you must get down to Pik Up Stix on West MacArthur Boulevard! The food is incredible, the experience wonderful, and the most amazing thing about this place is the Manager, Jesus, truly, he is a gentleman as he goes “Above & Beyond” for each and every customer!

Get down here, YOU’LL LOVE IT!!!!

Thanks so kindly, Jesus, you
make this place “Magical”

“My spouse and I were looking for delicious Chinese food in the Placentia area. We are not from the area and had to go by ratings and reviews. And we were not steered wrong. The food was flavorful and rich. The atmosphere was inviting and warm. The service was amazing and we felt welcomed. This is no where near where I live but I guarantee I will be back. It was perfect and satisfying meal.“

“Im here from norcal for training. Was craving some chow mein somewhere close by, gave this place a chance and it does not disappoint!! Huge servings with quick service even though it was lined up to the door. I got the combo 3 with house special, orange chicken, rice and chow mein, and cream cheese ragoons. 10/10 recommend. I'll be thinking of this place for a long time“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“Excellent food & service. Our after church Lunch Bunch often patrons Chens. We are guaranteed to be greeted with a warm smile, and accommodating to host our party, no matter what size.
Makes the experience to the next level of customer satisfaction.

Blessings 🙌“

“Really fun atmosphere, especially since they have live music on Saturdays.
My favorite dishes were the grilled chicken gizzard, perilla frog, and grilled garlic chives. The green tea beer was also very refreshing and paired well with the food.

The whole experience reminded me of the summers when I used to work on projects in northern China and go out for skewers and beer with coworkers. Definitely a memorable spot.“

“Nice quaint place. Cumin lamb is decent, but that dish is usually good, can't go wrong with it. The soup dumplings and hot and sour soup are good, the hot and sour soup feels especially creative with herbs. The main issue is the place doesn't seem to stand out... Especially with so many Chinese restaurants nearby“

“EverSpring had only recently opened, so I stopped by to give it a try. I originally came for the beef knife-cut noodles, but the lamb bread soup and crispy rougamo ended up being the biggest surprises.

The broth was flavorful without being greasy, and the lamb was tender with no strong gamey taste. The rougamo was hot, flaky, and filled with plenty of meat—we liked it enough to take another one home. The knife-cut noodles were thick and chewy, with large pieces of tender beef in almost every bite.

The menu has a nice mix of Northwestern specialties and familiar Chinese comfort food, so it’s an easy place to visit with a group. A friend tried the crispy beef on a previous visit and really liked it, so that’s already on my list for next time.

There’s plenty of free parking outside, and the dining room feels bright, clean, and comfortable. The weekday lunch special also makes the prices very reasonable.

The staff kept our water filled, brought everything out promptly, and checked in to make sure the flavors worked for us. Attentive without hovering—which I really appreciated. A very solid new option near Irvine.“

“This place has great food and the sweetest owner/workers. I came during maybe Christmas Eve or Christmas day, none the less, they were open on the holidays. The lady who helped me was super sweet and just gave the best hospitality. Her husband (?) was also so nice and super helpful. I didn’t stay to eat there since I had my dog in the car, but people who came after me pulled up a chair and seemed to enjoy the environment. The parking lot was a bit rough around the edges so I was a tad hesitant but once I came into the store with welcoming smiles, it was all good. The food was super hot when received. I also had a bit of a drive home since they were one of a few places open that day. When I got home the food was still super hot. Also I think I spent about $10-15 but I had so much food that lasted a few days. Portions were huge, I liked it. Food was super tasty the day received and still good over the few days it took to eat the rest. Was easy to reheat in the microwave and a pan on the stove. Egg rolls also easy to reheat in air fryer. Note: I thought I posted when I last came here during the holiday season but it looks like it didn’t transmit.“

“My family has been eating at this restaurant for over 2 years, we love this restaurant. We joke with each other, that our taste buds have been spoiled by Qin Cuisine, and that we can no longer visit fast food style restaurants of this same type. This restaurant is a sit down restaurant with great service and wonderful food. This is a special treat for us, when ever we feel that we deserve a good meal. They work hard to serve you, and they keep the restaurant very clean. The location is very convenient and comfortable. This is one of those restaurants that will always be on your roster.“

“Andrew was our server tonight and all I can say is.. best service I have had in a long time. We travel all over the place and visit many restaurants. His recommendations were on point, service was quick, and continuously checked in. Best part to us was that his attitude and personality made it an even better experience.“

“This is the best Chinese food you'll ever have. The ingredients are fresh, the service is great, and the good prices are not compromised by quality.
The chow mein is excellent, the kung pow and orange chicken, crisp and flavorful, but mostly importantly the house chicken is divine.

Do yourself a favor and steer clear from other Chinese places a few blocks from here and come to Baby Panda.“

“Good taste, cheap price, great portions. What more can you ask for in a Chinese restaurant? Especially when you’re craving some take out for the family or for yourself. This is a go to spot for me and my family. I highly recommend this place to anyone, the staff are very kind and hard working. I always see the same people working here all the time, this small business deserves more love!“

“OC Friends - looking for an amazing new Chinese food place or longing for a place to bring you food better than the long lost Yen Ching? Look no further than Royal Wok Orange. Ordered: Egg drop soup Cream cheese wontons Egg rolls Beef chew mein Honey walnut shrimp ORANGE CHICKEN❤️ Chicken fried Rice THEY KILLED IT!“

“A Culinary Gem in the Heart of Westminster - BAOS HOG Review Stepping into BAOS HOG, you're immediately welcomed by a fusion of contemporary decor and inviting ambiance. This small, yet noteworthy establishment stands out in Westminster for its innovative approach to bao buns, often known as "baos." Each bao is a masterpiece, with the Hog special possibly being the star of the show. The pork is succulent and flavorful, indicative of the care in preparation. Accompanied by crisp, fresh vegetables and a secret sauce that adds an unexpected but delightful kick, it's a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. Beyond the baos, the menu is an eclectic mix, suggesting influences from various cuisines, a bold move that seems to pay off. The drinks selection complements the food, with both traditional options and more unique offerings, indicating that the proprietors are aficionados seeking to provide a full culinary experience. Service is efficient and warm.“

“My and bf always come here when we are in town. We found it one night while in downtown Fullerton because we really wanted Black Bean noodles. We are always trying to find places closer to home that serve the dish and make it as good, but haven’t been successful. The owners and servers are really nice and attentive.“

“So we usually have gone to the Capitol Noodle in Barranca. It was closed permanently recently so we tried this location. phe-no-me-nal.
I think this is even better than the barranca one with a more varied menu.
Thumbs up. Must go with the fam. Highly recommend the Hong Kong style crispy noodle, cold cucumber salad, fried rice and lychee drinks.
Ps. I’m very stingy sideye reviewer of things so giving 5 stars for me is not a habit. This place deserves all 5. The service here was excellent.“

“The food was delicious and the service was great! The restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend!“

“I ordered the chicken leg meat with dipping sauces and broth. Honestly, the chicken was great on its own. I didn't care for any of the sauces. The rice was a bit salty but still good.

The setup felt a little odd. There was a loud speaker on loop reminding Uber and DoorDash drivers to pick up orders in the back. It was super annoying. I really think they would benefit from having a host instead of relying on that speaker.

That said, the place itself was cool, and I liked that you can order from several different shops all through the same kiosk.“

“After getting my nails done, I saw Orange Blossom across the parking lot. First time to try it. Not fancy but Family friendly. I was pleasantly surprised. Reminded me of Peking Kitchen in SA. The Host lady was very nice. Pointed out Early Dinner Specials. I ordered KungPao chicken & Broccoli Beef dinners to go. Both were delicious! My hubby & I will be back.“

“Had a great meal at Mama Lu’s Dumpling House! We ordered the juicy pork dumplings, Shanghai rice cakes, clams with basil, and honey basil pork chop. Everything was flavorful and came out hot and fresh. The juicy pork dumplings were a must-try, and the Shanghai rice cakes had the perfect chewy texture. The clams with basil were fragrant and delicious, and the honey basil pork chop was a great combination of sweet and savory. Lots of good options on the menu, and everything was perfect for sharing. Would definitely come back to try more dishes!“

“Amazing Food. We ordered quite a few dishes and everything was delicious! The Peking Duck and green beans were my favorite!“

“If you’re craving jjangmyeon in Irvine, this is the spot for you! They’ve got tons of the classic dishes that pair perfectly with jjang and its flavors. Plus, the portions are generous, the service is top-notch, and you’ll feel like you’re in Korea because you’ll only see Koreans enjoying their meals here.“

“Pretty good soup/noodles. Noodles were bouncy and good amount of chew. The broth was good and very comfy. Portion sizes were on the smaller side, but I left very satisfied. The liangpi was also really good. The chili sauce was the weakest part of the liangpi but still good overall.“

“When I first tried this place, I came back several times because the food was simple, authentic,“

“This is our favorite spot! They have great food and portions for a good prices I recently ordered party plates for a birthday and they did not disappoint. Everyone loved the food, and I saved money in the process. Support your local businesses!“

“Friendly staff. Clean. Delicious food. The chicken lettuce wraps were like something you would get at a more intimate sit down restaurant and the chicken chow mein was awesome as always.“

“Chinese food, that is authentic and delicious. Go, Actually Run! And write a review. They are legit. Tasty. Fresh. Hot. Great texture of protein. My 4 kids loved it. Great flavor, we got the House chicken, chive pancakes, and sweet and sour pork tenderloins. Place was very clean. Definitely a great hidden gem.“
