    Spicy Shrimp Wonton w/ Chili Oil
    Tim L.

    A hidden gem in my neighborhood. A solid 4.5/5 It's tucked away inside a nice plaza that also has some great food options. Parking is plenty and there are no real issues finding a spot. The ambience is cozy and the servers are extremely friendly. When we entered, we were told to sit anywhere we wanted and the servers came right away to serve us a pitcher of water and some cups. After perusing the menu, our choices were: -Spicy Shrimp Wonton -Roast Duck -Braised Beef Noodle Soup I believe the wonton and the duck were the best dishes. The wonton had good flavor and the spicy oil that the wonton was sitting in was a great complement to the wonton itself. The duck was perfectly salted with the perfect texture with every bite. There was a good amount of meat on the bones with no effort to chew. Absolutely delicious. As for the beef noodle soup, I've been noticing that a lot of restaurants have been missing the mark with the noodles. It can be bland and the flavor of the broth (which is delicious btw) isn't "absorbed" into the noodles as it used to be. Otherwise, the beef has great taste and texture, while the broth is flavorful. The servers were attentive throughout the whole dining experience and were really accommodating to all the diners in the restaurants. I will definitely be back to try the other dishes, especially the XLBs. A+!

    I ordered for take out twice in two days. The tomato and brisket noodle soup was a bit sweet but tasty. I like that noodles were chewy just about the right texture. The brown sugar sticky rice dessert was crunchy on the outside and soft inside, which was great. I came back to order more food the second morning when it just opened. The cashier wasn't there. The kitchen staff came to help me. They were friendly and apologetic and offered us water and extra food while we waited for our order. I liked popcorn chicken. The pan fried pork buns were juicy. Overall, the food and the experience were great. I'd come back to try more food.

    Stopped at Long's a little before closing and ordered the pork xiao long bao, Yangzhou fried rice, and pan fried pork buns. Loved the texture of the bao and buns! The fried rice was a great size, definitely going to order it next time I'm too lazy to cook (which is often). I want to go back to try the beef roll, minced pork rice, and beef roll! Service is friendly and attentive! Food came out quickly, plenty of seating in the restaurant and plenty of parking in the plaza.

    Pan-Fried Pork Buns
    Alyssa T.

    A good spot for noodles on the border of Lake Forest and Irvine. The parking lot has a good amount of spaces that are shared with the plaza. The restaurant is indoor seating only. The menu isn't too extensive, but they have a QR code on the table that you can scan in order to see pictures of all of the menu items. The service is decent and quick. We went about an hour before closing on a Friday night and by then they had run out of xiao long bao. My favorite items that we tried were the braised beef brisket with tomato noodle soup and the glutinous rice cakes. The noodle soup had really good flavor and the noodles were cooked well. The glutinous rice cakes had a good level of sweetness that wasn't overwhelming and had a perfect crunch on the outside. Everything that we tried had really good flavor. The beef rolls had a very good crunch on the outside. The fried rice had a generous amount of shrimp in it. The pan fried pork buns do take a little bit longer than the other items, but they came out freshly cooked and piping hot. They were extremely juicy and had a good amount of meat in them. The potstickers and the steamed dumplings were not quite as good as everything else. There was a a smaller amount of filling compared to the skin for both.

    We are back to the neighborhood Chinese noodle house for a quick lunch. They have implemented a new system since our last visit. Gone are the QR menu on the table and the iPad ordering at the table side. Everyone has to go to the counter to place their order and pay for it right away. Any tips for the server essentially is cash only and placed on the table. It is probably easier for the owner, not so much for the waiting staff. It is as busy as ever. We were lucky to be seated at the only open table available when we walked in. Several new items appeared on the updated menu, including the crispy duck noodles ($14.99) we ordered. Its beef roll ($11.99) and seaweed salad ($5.99) are tasty as ever. I wonder if I can add noodles to its wonton soup to make it into a meal. Until the next time...

    Shrimp Spicy Wonton
    Jacqueline Z.

    A small Chinese restaurant with big portions for the price point. I came with my family, whom have been here before, and we got a table fairly quickly for 4 during lunch on a Sunday since it wasn't busy. We did family style and split multiple dishes: - Shrimp Fried Noodle: This was quite oily and lacked a bit of flavor to be honest. Shrimps were quite small. - Pork Wonton Soup: The soup was quite comforting, with veggies and wontons. Portion size is great for sharing amongst multiple people, with each person getting around 2-3 wontons each. - Xiao Long Bao: These came out HUGE and stuck together.. which ended up being a bad thing because it made it hard to pick up the soup dumpling without accidentally breaking the one next to it. As a result, almost half of our soup dumplings lost its soup before we even got it into our spoons. If you do get your hands on one without popping it, you do get a good amount of soup in it. - Spicy Shrimp Wontons: Not really that spicy (mainly chili oil). A bit bland in taste but fine once paired with dipping sauces like vinegar or soy sauce. - Shu Mai: Decent shumai and quite large for its size. Overall, I think the portions are great for the price and you're bound to leave full without paying too much. However, I think some of the execution on the dishes could've been better. Some of the dishes lacked flavor but they do have saucers to make your own dipping sauce with either soy sauce, vinegar, and/or chili oil.

    Food: 4/5 We ordered a couple of dishes, the pan fried pork bun- was quite bread-y, the beef noodle soup was pipping hot and amazing, and the beef roll- was a little disappointing due to the size and flavors. Overall good, I would definitely recommend the beef noodle soup if I come back here again! Service: 5/5 waiters were attentive and quick with the food as soon as orders were placed. Ambiance: 4/5 Typically Chinese restaurant.

    I don't write many reviews anymore--even as a former Yelp Elite--but this place genuinely left me confused about how it has more than 4 stars. I've eaten at countless dumpling and beef noodle soup restaurants, and this was honestly the worst experience I've had. I almost always finish my food, even when it's mediocre, because I don't like being wasteful. But this meal was on a different level. The beef noodle soup was completely bland, with chewy beef and a broth that tasted like hot water with something missing. The soup dumplings were just as disappointing--the broth inside had no flavor, and the wrapper was so overcooked that the meat tasted off. If you've ever had over-steamed dumplings, you'll know exactly what I mean. Even the popcorn chicken, which is usually a safe choice anywhere, was strange. It tasted like chicken that was meant to be used in a saucy dish--almost like orange chicken--rather than actual Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken. Service was also questionable. They had two servers, but both spent most of the time behind the counter. They were friendly when approached, but you definitely have to make an effort to get their attention. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I genuinely don't understand the high rating. This was a miss across the board.

    Fried wonton
    Michelle T.

    Excellent food and service! Fresh delicious meal. Clean and bright restaurant. The food is delicious. This time we got free ice cream! Props to Long's!

    xlb, shrimp wonton soup, beef rolls
    Kristina N.

    What a gem! Long's noodle has the best xlb I've ever had. They're huge and juicy. The shrimp wontons are also another favorite dish of mine. They are packed and have a thin wrapper. The workers are helpful and nice.

    Braised beef soup
    Julie C.

    Wow, how did it take me so long to try Long's Noodles? Fantastic XLB and fried pork buns. Fragrant and rich braised beef noodle soup. I am a fan. First review of 2025 and starting my year off right!

    Popcorn chicken
    Meticulous L.

    They gave us free popcorn chicken and it was good probably the best one there is. The food is probably on the healthier side. it's not salty but it is flavorful on real bones, I can tell by the smell and taste, nothing is fake. We are filipino so we are not used to the noddle texture as we usually eat rice noodles so it's weird for us. They gave you plenty of food, Im more than 200lbs and I can't finish the soup. For some odd reason I feel more energized after the meal not heavy or acidic, this place is definitely on the healthier side.

    braised beef noodle (spicy)
    Ada C.

    a not so hidden gem in the corner of the plaza. What an incredible experience. I knew the place is authentic when the staff is fluent in both Mandrian and Cantonese. Ordered the braised beef noodle (spicy) and the roasted duck noodle. Both good but the star is the soup dumplings. the wrapping is done so superbly. thickness is just right to hold everything without tearing (please look at the video).

    Shrimp XLB has pork & shrimp. Not sure about shrimp shumai.

    Are any of the dishes made with rice noodles/ gluten free, vs. egg/wheat noodles? If yes, which ones, or may any noodle dishes be subbed out? TIA

When we asked why they said it was because we used two bowls to make each plate, but when we walked in we asked them if they still do things by weight and they said yes. We used two bowls to make the plates because we were holding our infant baby and we couldn't sit there trying to balance these super tall plates and we didn't want to hold up the line. It seems idea behind the one bowl policy is to stop people from making really really large plates that are 3 pounds and splitting it with multiple people. However to combat that they instead made a person who made an only 1.5 pound plate pay more than they would've charged someone who made a 3 pound plate. It literally makes no sense. Also, the policy the incentivizes people to sit there and play Tetris with a bowl and hold up the entire line while trying to cram as much food as they can into it while dropping food everywhere. It's a very stupid policy and even dumber were the workers for not being able to read between the lines and see that we both just wanted to make normal meals while holding our baby instead of gaming the system. We left and got food elsewhere, these guys are whackos.

It was also pretty expensive, around $55, and the portion size was just okay. The minced pork fried rice tasted like your typical fried rice, nothing memorable. The place gets really packed during dinner time, so expect a wait and maybe come before you get super hungry. It was also kind of hard to get the servers' attention, probably because they were busy with how crowded it gets. Overall, I'd say it's mid, especially for the price.
