Sichuan Dandan Noodle
Joy C.

This was my second visit to Kirin Noodle House, and it was even better than my first one! It's located by the Mitsuwa and often has a lot of tables when we go for dinner during the week. Inside is clean and has plenty of tables. The service is fairly quick and you can order through a QR code (noting though that service in that plaza is hit or miss). You can also order with the servers too! I got the dan dan noodles and they were great! They come with a lot of noodles and topping. Just a note, on the app if you're ordering and prompted to pick 0-5, it's related to spice level. I'd say with all of their dishes you need at least 2+ to really bring out the flavor! The house special dumplings are special for a reason! They are bursting with flavor and their chili oil is SO good and has a wonderful nutty flavor to it!

Delicious! Kirin Noodles House has a great assortment of traditional Chinese dishes. Their hot and sour soup is so good! I really enjoyed the unique flavor and consistency. I also enjoyed the pork and leek dumplings. Great quality and consistently delicious! Thanks Kirin!

My daughter saw a video clip of noodle soup on Instagram and it looked so she suggested we go to Kirin for lunch. We would walk by this place all the time every time we went to Mitsuwa. But today, we came here to dine. We walked in before 11:30 am for early lunch. It had scallion pancakes and beef roll so that's our favorite and we usually would order to try. We haven't had beef chow fun for a while so we ordered it without bean sprouts. The Xiao Long Bao looked good so we also got it. We were a little hungry so we over ordered as our eyes were bigger than our tummy! The scallion pancakes were crispy and thick. My daughter liked it. The beef roll looked a little different than what we were used to. The wait staff said they've changed the recipe so it was soft skin wrapped rather than the traditional crispy wrapped. The beef rolls were very tasty and had a little kick to it. They looked tiny but definitely packed with filling! The beef chow fun looked different too. There were some cabbage slices added. It has good flavor but not the usual Cantonese beef chow fun. The Xiao Long Bao was big and juicy. Skin might be a little thick compared to Din Tai Fung but overall pretty good. We finished the Xiao Long Bao but had leftovers from the rest of the 3 dishes. Overall impression, the food is pretty good. It feels homey as the food didn't taste too salty. The noodle soup looked pretty good and my daughter and I were thinking we might try the noodle soup next time.

I came with a friend on a Saturday afternoon and it quickly became packed after we got seated. It's in the Heritage Plaza, which houses a ton of places to eat at, get drinks, and more, so parking can get full sometimes. While we were lucky to come when it wasn't full yet, it took a while before we got our order taken despite no one else being served. Service was okay overall not taking into account of that. We both ordered the braised beef brisket soup. I got it at a level 1 spice while he got a level 3. I enjoyed mine since it was a nice mild, while he said his was pretty spicy, so keep that in mind. The beef was a bit iffy, overall it did taste good, but some pieces were really tender and great, while others were a bit rough. The noodles were good and, like I mentioned earlier, I did enjoy the broth as well. I wish there was a little more in terms of meat and vegetables, such as the bok choy, but overall the bowl was pretty good. If I'm ever in the area, I'd consider coming back to try more of their menu!

The food is amazing!! I ordered the dry dishes to eat with rice and was surprised how good it is. Not only known for their noodles, I highly recommend the stir fried dishes as well. I had: 1. House special dumpling 2. Braised pork rice bowl 3. Salted popcorn chicken (crispy salted chicken) 4. Wok-fried spicy pot cauliflower 5. Double cooked pork slices

Good noodle and dumpling restaurant with a wide range of options. The inside area was inviting and comfortable and it was easy to order through the code and menu at the table. The Pork Bao were the best part of the meal, with solid House Dumplings and Orange Chicken with rice.

A lot of mala, not much flavor | Braised Beef Brisket 招牌红烧牛腩 spice 3

While in the mood for soup, I decided to come by because I remembered it being pretty good the first time. On a Sunday at 12:30pm, almost every table and booth was full and we were lucky to snag one of the last tables. They give you physical menus, but you order on your phone via QR code, which includes photos of the food. It's a very casual eatery with pictures of the most popular dishes posted on the wall. We didn't have to wait too long for at least one of our dishes. We ordered the braised beef brisket soup at level 3 spice and the pork and cabbage potstickers. I remember the soup being a lot more flavorful the first time and the beef being more tender. This time, the beef tasted tough and overcooked. The soup mostly tasted like mala spice (but at the perfect level) without much depth to it. My favorite part was the perfectly cooked noodles, which were bouncy and chewy. Unfortunately, our pork and cabbage potstickers never came out. A worker notified us halfway through eating the soup that it was going to take an extra 15 minutes, then later came back to say something wasn't working in the back, and eventually just canceled the order altogether. I think my memory of the first visit may have hyped this place up too much because it just wasn't that great this time around. If I do come back, I'll probably order differently and hopefully none of our dishes get canceled.

I come to Kirin Noodles House all the time whenever I can't decide what to eat -- their braised beef noodle soup is basically my comfort food at this point. Today my friend wanted boiled beef, so of course I brought them here too Boiled Beef A must-order if you love spicy food. The portion is HUGE, basically bigger than a washbasin The beef slices are super tender and flavorful, soaked in that numbing, spicy broth that hits all the right spots. Honestly, I could finish two bowls of rice with this alone. House Special Braised Pork I think they use pork shank because the texture is unbelievably soft and melts in your mouth. The sweet-savory flavor is perfectly balanced and not greasy at all. I usually don't even like fatty pork, but I kept going back for more. Spicy Diced Chicken & Dry-Fried Green Beans Ultimate rice killers. The chicken is crispy, fragrant, and addictively good without being overwhelmingly spicy. The green beans have amazing wok hei and are so flavorful I could eat them on their own. Beef Chow Mein Packed with wok flavor, with tender beef and noodles fully coated in savory sauce. The portion is generous too. Chicken Wonton Soup The surprise favorite of this visit! The wonton wrappers are thin and delicate, filled with juicy meat, sitting in a light but deeply flavorful chicken broth. There's a hint of white pepper in the soup that makes it extra comforting and satisfying.

Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup

On a dreary and rainy day, I like to order soup. A friend recommended this spot, and we've enjoyed the Kirin in Lake Forest (are they related? IDK), so we thought we'd stop by. We were seated immediately upon our arrival and were served cups of ice water. Hubby ordered hot black tea, but the iced jasmine tea only comes in bottles, so I declined. I ordered the Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. The noodles had a good chew and there were lots of beef chunks. I was disappointed that the soup was only warm, not piping hot. Hubby chose the Kung Pao Chicken. The sauce was on the sweet side, but not unpleasant. We shared the House Special Dumplings. They come 10 to an order. The dumplings might be housemade--they are large with a thickish skin and the sauce has chopped peanuts. The shopping center has a surface lot. We found a space a few rows over. Fair prices for the portion sizes.

Beef brisket noodle soup, mild spicy
Soy Y.

Open late - nice bonus Servers - nice Toothpicks and floss sticks - nice Music - not too loud, easy to have conversation Menu - good variety of foods Food - disappointing The beef noodle soup did not have beef flavoring at all, it was just hot water with chili oil in it. Noodle were boring, slightly over cooked The pan fried bao buns, not juice at all. Took 2p minutes to get them. The beef roll was just cold dishes wrapped in a pastry that was t pan fried it was like raw dough. Unexpected but we ate the foods, utilized the space to have late night conversations. We won't be coming back for the foods though.

Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup

Stopped by after a long school day while sick and needed something warm. The braised beef brisket noodle soup (spice level 3) really hit the spot -- rich broth, tender brisket, and a nice chili oil kick. Love that they're open late, which made it the perfect comfort meal when most places were already closed. Only small qualm: my order was ready earlier than expected but I didn't get notified, so it wasn't piping hot when I picked it up. Otherwise super delish. The ambiance inside was surprisingly chill, and now I want to come back and try dining in next time.

Diced chicken

SO DELISH!! Perfect combination of items- numbing chicken, sour soup, and decadent noodles. Quick and friendly service. Dumplings were undercooked when they came out but kitchen recooked. Sauce was really good!

Chicken chow fun, beef dumplings with celery and spicy chicken with chili and chili peppers. We took half home.

My daughter just moved to Aliso Viejo and we went to the shopping center over in Aliso Viejo and ran into this Kirin Noodle House by mistake. We walked in and they were very friendly. We sat down and noticed the employees were on a lunch break. We asked what dish they were eating. They said it was not on the menu that the owner makes them lunch everyday. They were so nice they brought us a sample of what they were eating and it was delicious. We then ordered beef and celery dumplings and they were fresh and amazing. My daughter ordered beef chow fun. Incredibly good and I ordered spicy chicken with chili and chili peppers. All the food was plentiful and amazing. This was a soft opening for them in Aliso Viejo. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food and service were outstanding .

We noticed that she…read moregave a larger table to customers she seemed familiar with, while assigning us a much smaller table even though we had the same number of people. What made it even more frustrating was that the restaurant was practically empty at the time, so there was clearly no issue with the restaurant being too busy or running out of available tables. The way we were treated felt unfair and very disrespectful. If you're willing to spend money just to be judged and treated differently based on who you are, this is definitely the place for you. Highly recommended!!!! To clarify the situation: When we entered the restaurant, it was clearly not a busy hour. There were plenty of empty tables available. If your policy is that certain four-person tables are reserved exclusively for customers who make reservations in advance, then that policy should be clearly stated to customers rather than being applied selectively. When we arrived, there was a customer dining alone who was seated at a table for three. Later, another customer who appeared to be familiar with the short female server also came in alone and was given a larger three-person table. So just to clarify: were all of these tables reserved in advance as well? Or does the "reservation" rule only apply when it comes to certain customers? No one wants to sit at a tiny table in the middle of the aisle when there isn't even enough space to comfortably fit four dishes. We are not complaining simply because we were given a smaller table. The issue is the obvious inconsistency in how the seating was handled. If there is a legitimate seating policy, it should be applied consistently to everyone--not selectively depending on who the customer is.

The restaurant is large and service is quick so we waited just 5 mins for a table on a Saturday night. It has traditional look inside although the booth seating could use some updating as it seemed to have tape or something. My partner always wanted to try the classic dongpo braised pork belly. They do an individual portion here and I didn't realize it also comes with rice and picked mustard greens. It's the perfect size to try this dish and it's very hearty. It's a bit sweeter tasting here but tender. It comes with a spoon because you should be able to just cut into it with that. I also tried a seasonal item of tofu with crab roe. It was fresher tasting than I had expected. It was lightly seasoned and not too fishy. It had the grittiness of the crab roe and head along with some shrimp I believe. I think I would've liked a bit more flavor. With my leftovers, I added chili crisp to it the next day and it was great. Beef chow fun was amazing. It had the perfect flavor, rice noodles were tender and not all clumped up with some noodles seasoned and other not. It tasted like fresh noodles and had that wonderful wok hei flavor. Definitely a must order. This place is known for the duck but my partner does not enjoy it unfortunately. I will have to try it one day!

The restaurant is located in a large shopping plaza. Although I wouldn't say there's plenty of parking, I was able to find a spot without much trouble. When I first saw the crowd waiting outside, I got a little intimidated and even thought, "Should we just go somewhere else?" Haha. But surprisingly, the wait wasn't that long, and we were seated much faster than I expected. Once we sat down and looked at the menu, I was already impressed! I loved both the variety of dishes and the prices. There were so many things I wanted to try, but I decided to save some for future visits. Haha. We ordered the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), a noodle dish, the Beef Roll, and the Scallion Pancake. The food came out pretty quickly, and we started trying everything one by one. OMG. Everything was SO GOOD!! Honestly, every single dish exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The Beef Roll was especially impressive because it had more beef inside than the ones I've tried at other restaurants. The Xiao Long Bao was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The Scallion Pancake was perfectly crispy on the outside, with that wonderful savory flavor. And the noodles! I can't remember the exact name, but I think it had "Golden" in it? Haha. It had a unique flavor that I'd never experienced before, with a little spicy kick. Even though it was spicy, it was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating until the bowl was completely empty! While we were eating, I suddenly thought about my family at home, so I ordered another Beef Roll to go. And here's another thing that really impressed me: **THE SERVICE!** The employee who helped us with the bill was incredibly friendly and pleasant. I was genuinely happy to leave a tip because the service was that good! But what happened afterward impressed me even more. After paying, I went to use the restroom. The hallway leading to it was somewhat narrow, and whenever I passed an employee, they politely stepped aside to let me through first. It might seem like a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. It felt like treating customers with kindness and respect was simply second nature to everyone working there. Great food, wonderful service, AND reasonable prices? What more could I ask for?! Honestly, **why would I go to Din Tai Fung when I have 7 Grams?!** Haha! From now on, whenever I'm craving Xiao Long Bao, 7 Grams will be my first choice! And I definitely have to come back because the dishes I saw on other tables looked absolutely delicious, too. There are still so many things I want to try! **7 Grams, you've officially won me over!**
