    Located inside 99 Ranch
    Katrina N.

    YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!! ***Located INSIDE 99 RANCH MARKET!** So I'm surprised this place doesn't have it's own yelp page yet, because this place is a total hidden gem. I actually shouldn't be writing a review because now the line will be longer than ever. Forgive me lover! So the only reason why I know of this place is because lover says he always sees a long line, out the door for breakfast on the weekends. He's eaten here for lunch but never for breakfast. So we wanted to check this place out and see what the hoopla was all about. The first time was 2 weeks ago and we came close to lunch. Good and bad? The food was 1. Amazing, delicious, tasty! 2. It was hella cheap. The bad was that we came so late that there wasn't much left. But whatever was left, was again... YUMMY!! We had: -fried dumpling 4 stars -green onion pancake 4 stars -leek pocket 4.5 sars! -salted soybean 5 stars!! My ultimate favorite of those dishes is the salted soybean "drink". I've had others before where they make it sweet soybean milk or tofu desserts but never salted soybean. This is the second place where I've had this and this totally blew me away! Even lover who's accustomed to this type of dish says this place makes excellent salted soybean drink. So to describe it, it has chunks of tofu, with tiny diced pickled cabbage, dried shredded pork, and my favorite is the crunchy crullers. It has good depth, seasoned well, and my favorite, EXTREMELY affordable!! So I can go on and on about the delicious food they cook here but then you'll be here forever. **Also Warning! Please don't look at the pictures I took because it isn't very easy on the eyes. The food is not aesthetically pleasing on the eyes but don't let that fool you! That's why I say if you're willing to be adventurous and try new food, this is something worth trying. I've been back for a second time and it was still good. Muy Bueno!!!

    Asked for half half of rice and noodles. 3-entree combo came with soup

    5 Stars because the portions were huge, price is very affordable, and it was delicious. My boyfriend and I came here to get some snacks and then I wanted Chinese food so he and I decided to take a look. We both eat a lot, but nonetheless, the 3-entree combo was more than enough. We were both surprised when we saw her dumping in huge amounts. Too much that the 3rd side choice was put in a separate container. And it comes with a little cup of soup! I think it was all around $7.50 with tax. Pretttyyyy nice. Definitely coming again when we are craving some fast food Chinese food. Hehe

    Affordable! 2 item combo is only $5.99 plus tax. If you're in a rush and want something fast or you want to be nice to your wallet then this is the place to come. I often come here inside of the BBQ express in sam woo (next door) because gourmet kitchen takes credit cards! Food is usually good and they give you a lot of different choices. Besides entrees, they also have breakfast as well if you come early in the morning. 4 stars because they close pretty early and some of the employees have attitudes. Nevertheless, it's a place to go when you want affordable and fast Chinese food. A lot more authentic then Panda Express that's for sure!

    How have I never reviewed China Garden? I've been so many times throughout the years, it's honestly…read moreone of the only solid dim sum places in Irvine that still have the rolling carts! Those definitely add to the experience, but I find that lines are pretty long in peak hours, so I did takeout recently. We came pretty late around 2:30 PM so we weren't sure if they were still serving dim sum, but thankfully they still had everything we wanted to order! Everything is good here, but my go-tos are the sticky rice and ham sui gok. You can get anything you want from a dim sum experience here!

    Mother's day 2026. This place was packed. We arrived at 12:04 pm. Asked for a ticket and was told…read morethe wait could be between 30-50 minutes. That is reasonable just by looking at all the people who are waiting outside when we arrived. Number 85 was called, we are 12 for the next batch, they do skip some numbers to accommodate the smaller group and within reason-they have smaller tables for two. It was not as chaotic as it looks even though the restaurant is packed. All the dim sum carts are rolling and they are selling it fast. We made our move and successfully got what we wanted. A nice lady waiter helped us grab 2 more containers of meat baos (siopao) for our to go. We had our fill and really happy that we made it on time for all the yummy stuffs they offer. We went home happy and satisfied. Still working on our to go today.

I didn't realize how big the portions are, because we definitely had a ton of leftovers. I would say we had 0 misses -- we would order everything again. If I had to really pick, the chicken dumplings + orange chicken + beef roll would be my go-to order. The beef noodle soup + xiao long bao + dumplings if I was with more people because it's HUGEE!! I forgot which fruit tea I ordered, but it was SOO good & refreshing - 10/10! It is located in DJ so parking was pretty intense on weekends!

We came for early dinner and the place was pretty empty so I was able to get a full video clip of the restaurant. We ordered our usual beef rolls, scallion pancakes, and beef noodles. The beef noodles with eggs was the first dish to show up. It's slightly salty for my taste, otherwise it's decent. The scallion pancakes were very layered, probably one of the best looking ones we've ordered. The beef rolls were also one of the nicest presentations I've seen. They were perfectly wrapped and not a single green onions or cilantro fell off. Service was excellent. Granted there was only one wait staff but he was very attentive and observant. I saw a black dot on my plate, he immediately went to get a new plate for me without me asking. He constantly came to check on us and add more water. Overall, it was OK. It does have a huge variety of selection. Next time I would like to try more dishes and maybe skewers too.

It was 20 minutes away from the Pacific View Mortuary so we decided to come here after my husband visited his dad... GREETED UPON ENTRY! Quite nice and loudly by a nice lady! I believe I only saw ladies working in the restaurant which is pretty cool! Women power!! SPICY BEEF NOODLE SOUP: 10/10 I love the TENDONS so much!! They were nice and TENDER!!! Not chewy at all! The flavor of the broth is good and not too SALTY or SPICY so you can easily adjust it if you need more Salt or Chili oil...Better than SHANGS in Las Vegas in my opinion!!!... SPICY WONTONS: 9/10 The wontons were small and fell apart easily but, the sauce was DELICIOUS!!! It was such a TEASE because it was a small dish that was PACKED with so much flavor so I finished it as REVENGE!!! Mwahahaha!!!!... BEAN CURD WITH ASSORTED MUSHROOMS: 9/10 Loved the bean curds!!! I finished it too!!! There was only ONE MUSHROOM though so that's why I took off a point... SCALLION PANCAKE: 8/10 In not usually into it. My husband loved it and it reminded him of ROTI... PAN FRIED PORK DUMPLINGS: 9/10 It was nice and juicy! The portions were HUGE!!! Definitely had to pack this one home to finish it later... SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT!!! AMBIANCE was nice! The tables were set per close to each other towards the front of the restaurant so there wasn't much room to walk in between tables. It reminded me of the walkway that's similar to being on an AIRPLANE!!! If you are a Big person I would recommend sitting at the tables towards the back because there's more SPACE there!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRYING THIS PLACE !!! A & J RESTAURANT MAKES YOU WANT TO COME EVERYDAY!!!!

This has long been our go-to for Taiwanese comfort food, and while the flavors weren't always 100% authentic, they hit the spot. However, our recent visits have been disappointing. The restaurant has become incredibly "penny-pinching" with their service. I was recently told there would be a $1 charge just for a sprinkle of scallions and another $1 for a small side of clear broth for my dry noodles--requests that were never an issue before. Furthermore, when we ordered extra noodles for my son's beef noodle soup, the original portion seemed intentionally smaller, defeating the purpose of paying for the add-on. Between the degraded service and the "nickel-and-diming" atmosphere, it is no longer worth the 30-minute drive. The vibe has changed, and the pleasure of dining here is gone.
