    If you are craving authentic, comforting Chinese food, this is the spot. Its easy to get to with plenty of parking. Xiao Long Bao: They are filled with delicious broth, come out hot, and don't break when u pick them up and the skin is not too thick. Beef Roll: A must-order. The beef on the inside is soft and tender, and the outside is crunchy Sichuan Curry Noodles: This was a total surprise! I've never had this dish before. It has a very curry forward flavor on glass noodles Thai Iced Tea: A perfect pairing to balance that was not too sweet, just refreshing! Spicy eggplants: soft and tender, a classic chinese vegetable staple that compliments all of the dishes! Will definitely be back!

    Just had dinner at Long Noodle Bar with my sister tonight. We had: Basil Fish fillet: excellent. 5/5 Black beans fish fillet: we didn't see any black beans ;) but still very good. 5/5 Braised beef noodles: noodles el dente, nice and firm. Beef was tender. Way too much oil so, yes greasy. 4/5 Duck noodles soup: my brother-in-law lived his soup. He said it was very good. 5/5 Service was good.

    The food here was absolutely outstanding! The xiao long bao was phenomenal, with a thin skin, plenty of delicious soup broth and a healthy amount of ground pork. I also ordered the green onion pancake which was crispy, chewy, and not at all greasy. I also got the braised beef noodle soup which came with plenty of fresh and tender beef pieces. Overall, this was a 5/5 experience for me and I'll most definitely be back!

    So excited that Long's Noodles opened so nearby. We usually go to the one on Foothill Ranch, but it's a lot convenient for me to go to this new location. Food is delicious. We love the XLB, beef wrap, onion pancake, beef noodle soup & fried dumplings.

    The food here was delicious and service was fast. Restaurant is clean and very open feel. Very glad it's close to the house and will come back soon.

    They have the best fried Baos I've ever had. The popcorn chicken and pickled veggies is also very good. The scallion chicken was a bit bland. It was soft and tender though. The crispy duck noodles was interesting. The noodles and soup were really good, but the crispy duck was a bit too fried and dry. The service was really slow. Restaurant was new and clean. Staff was nice. Been here twice in two weeks. Must be good right! Happy Baoing!!

    My friend and I checked out this Long's location in Lake Forest, not too far from its stores in Irvine and Foothill Ranch. There is another Long's at San Clemente farther to the South. This store seems to be a clone of the store in Foothill Ranch, roughly the same size, same vibe, and same menu. Braised beef noodle soup tasted as expected. The beef roll was crispier, may have been fried after it was rolled up. We also ordered the green onion pancakes since it is a $1 special item. My friend liked XLB the most. It was served with sliced ginger that I didn't get at other Long's locations. I was pleasantly surprised that the entire check is 15% off in November during its grand opening. So you may want to drop in soon to take advantage of the discount.

    Located in a strip mall with easy parking and very close to the freeway, my friend and I visited driving from Irvine to San Diego. We were a bit confused because the banner outside says "Noodles House." The food was scrumptious! Scallion pancakes had good crisp texture, was not greasy, and had just the right amount of salt. Shumai was absolutely ginormous. Steamed dumplings were good as well. Sesame balls were on the small side but good. Given the size, the ratio of filling to "shell" was a bit low. My friend got a shredded pork soup. It was pretty big and spicy, which she enjoyed. Very strong value for the money for this high quality food. Service was friendly, helped us to box the leftovers, and was quick and attentive. The restaurant feels very new and clean. A delightful visit!

    This place is in soft opening. They're offering 15% off during this time while they work out the kinks. Boy let me tell you, there are a lot of kinks. When you walk in, there's the Yelp wait-list tablet setup at the door but right next to it is a giant screen where you can self-order your food. Nobody greeted me and the place looked pretty empty so I just browsed the screen for the menu and decided to order from it. That was a mistake. As I found out more clearly later, the soft opening discount will not be applied if you order from the screen setup. It also took them over 30 minutes to prepare my food. And they left out a dish I had ordered, but I didn't find that out until I was most of the way home and got texted by the restaurant. Those were the bad points. On the other hand, the restaurant was accommodating in other ways in order to make up for their shortfalls and that counts for a lot. Since I was very far from the restaurant, I declined to return for the missing dish and asked for a refund to my CC instead. I also mentioned I did not receive the soft opening discount. They immediately refunded me the difference which I appreciated not having to go through a drawn out discussion to achieve. The waitress was also very nice in bringing me hot water while I waited for my food. Back to the bad points. The food took so long to get to me and I didn't enjoy any of it. I ordered the chicken roll, which was cold and rubbery by the time I tried it. It was also insanely spicy for some reason. I know the reason, there was a spicy cabbage relish added it to that could easily have been placed by the side to be added by the customer if they wanted to taste the fiery inferno of the sun on their tongue. Please do not add random spicy condiments that don't need to be there without warning. If I were eating this dish at the restaurant, I would have sent it back to be remade without the spicy condiment. I ordered the duck, which I did not know was a combo plate that came with more spicy cabbage relish (that came on all the dishes) and some random steamed veg (bok choy). I was mainly interested in roast duck which I saw in another review was supposed to be good. This was not good duck. It was burnt to charred blackness and the meat was chalky and tasted mainly of disappointment. The pieces were hacked very small and unevenly. There was no picture on the screen for this menu item and I can see why if they're trying to sell it. If I had seen it before ordering, I would not have ordered it. I ordered two rice combos with soup. One was the Hainan chicken. The ginger scallion sauce was good as was the rice if a little over moist, but the chicken was over boiled and very plain tasting. The sauce was there of course to add flavor but I expect chicken to have intrinsic flavor outside of additional sauce. I didn't even taste any seasoning on the chicken before adding the sauce. The other combo just said braised pork so I was surprised to find a soy sauce based liquidy stew with the pork diced into tiny pieces. The pork came with seemingly random sides like the cabbage relish and macaroni salad (??). The soup these combos came with was an emulsified milky bone broth. It smelled and tasted of pork fat but there were surprise chicken pieces at the bottom. The missing item from my order was chili oil pork and shrimp wontons. I'm interest in trying it but I wasn't going to drive all the way back to retrieve it. The decor is spare but clean. There's a giant tv behind the service counter that plays Korean singing and dancing which is odd considering this is a Chinese place. The outside only says Noodle House so seeing Long's Noodles as the name inside was a surprise. While I was disappointed by the wait and the food, good customer service means I will be back after they work out the kinks. 3 stars is generous but I hope they will exceed my expectations the next time I come in and fully earn all the stars.

    The dumplings here did not meet up to my expectation. The braised beef noodles lacked that "spicy kick" taste. The dumplings were small and tasted mediocre. The pan fried buns were ok; it does not squirt juice like the other places l've been to. Scallion pancakes were the only positive dish. There was a screaming baby right next to us that made the dining experience less interesting. I know it's not the restaurant's fault for that. But sometimes you wish the parents would control their kids by taking them outside to cool off. The SGV has a vast selection of delicious dumpling homes.

    Here is my credential for this review, I'm from Shanghai China. I can validate for this place, their XLB and pan fried are ON POINT! One of the best pan fried bao in OC I can confidently say that! You don't want to miss this 50% of XLB deal, and $1 popcorn chicken. Did I mention the popcorn chicken were also so so yummy! Food came out pretty fast! Service were great!

    This review is only for the chicken cutlet rice bowl. I was eager to try this new location and placed a to-go order. The server was friendly and even gave me a 10% discount, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the chicken itself was disappointing--it wasn't crispy, felt too soft, and didn't taste good. Service was nice, but the food quality needs improvement.

    Shrimp and pork Xiao long bao
    A C.

    Highly recommend this place! Friendly staff! We ordered Braised Beef noodle soup , beef roll, shrimp+pork Xiao long bao and pork pan fried buns. Everything was delicious.! The braised beef was tender. The beef roll was flavorful, and we like it so much better than the one from Noodle St. The skin on Xiao long bao was thinner, reminds me of the DTF XLB, it was excellent! Definitely will return and try other items on the menu!

    A friend brought us to try this noodle spot in Lake Forest…read more This restaurant is part of the Shang Shui group, which has two locations next to each other. We visited the simpler Shang Shui Noodle House(Frank's dumplings and noodles) while the restaurant next door, Shang Shui Bistro(Frank's bistro Chinese cuisine) , focuses more on elevated Hunan and Cantonese dishes. Once we walked in, we could just find a seat and order through the QR code menu. It was convenient since we could take our time looking through the options. We ordered: 1. Roasted Duck Noodle Soup $19.99 2. House Special Fish Fillet Noodle Soup $15.99 3. Pork Knuckle Noodle Soup $16.99 Everything tasted pretty good! I ordered the signature fish fillet noodle soup, which was one of their recommended dishes. My husband thought the fish soup had the best flavor among the three dishes we tried. The portions were just right, and the prices were very reasonable. For the noodles, I would recommend choosing udon or ramen. My husband and our friend chose rice noodles, but they became too soft and broke apart easily when picking them up with chopsticks. After dinner, we stopped by Frank's bistro Chinese cuisine next door to take a look. The interior is much more upscale, and they also use a QR code menu. Most dishes are around $20 and up. We chatted with one of the staff members, who mentioned that they opened in August last year and focus on authentic Cantonese and Hunan cuisine. He was also proud to share that their dishes are freshly prepared, not the typical pre-made food you might find elsewhere. Will definitely come back to try the dishes at Shang Shui Bistro next time. Sharing this spot for anyone looking for Chinese noodles or authentic Chinese cuisine in the area! Frank's Dumplings & Noodles 20651 Lake Forest Dr STE A-102, Lake Forest, CA 92630

It's been awhile so I'm willing to give it another shot. Plenty of parking outside, the restaurant itself is really cute with tasteful decor. You order with a QR menu from the table. We ordered fish noodle soup, the 3 dumplings and soy sauce chicken with rice. Everything was pretty good! The fish noodle soup had a good fish profile in the soup, with a kick of white pepper which I liked. It tasted clean and healthy. The dumplings were really good. It definitely tasted like in house made dumplings. Much better quality than other restaurants in the area. The soy sauce chicken rice wasn't bad. But I thought the price was a little egregious. It should be max $15. All in all I'm glad we gave this "chain" another chance.

It's recommended to get 1 portion and order more as you go since it'll be fresh and not soggy. I tried their recommended dipping so as, the beef and the duck.

Also tried the shrimp tempura soba and was pleased with the portion they provided. The tempura itself was also nicely coated, not too heavy on the crumbs.

I don't think many restaurants offers cold soba option so if you never tried it, here is the probably the best place in south OC to give it a shot. This restaurant is located in a large plaza so there are plenty parking. The wait is usually not long at all. I have been here a few times with my family during lunch and dinner and it is never that packed. I think it is located in a pretty secluded area so it is not busy but the food is very good. The decor is simple but clean and has many tables. This most recent visit I ordered the marinated beef hot udon and my daughter ordered the Kakiage cold udon. I didn't know what Kakiage is so the staff kindly educated me that it is a ball of Tempura vegetables. Please don't mix it up with Karaage which is Fried Chicken. They are two different dishes. The broth of my beef udon is deep with umami flavor. The soup base has a legit dashi flavor, not the instant udon flavor. You can tell the difference right away. We also ordered the grill squid. The grill squid is tender and has a unique tastes like the dried squid snacks that I get from the Japanese market. The staff even offered hot water for my daughter's left over dipping sauce. She mixed her dipping sauce with hot water to drink it as a soup. Overall the food is great and we'll definitely be back for more.
