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.

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+!

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.

Cucumber Salad

Food was delicious! Service was great! We even got to watch a World Cup match while eating so ended up being a plus. Will definitely come back to this place while in the area.

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!

Delicious food and good friendly service. My friend and I were surprised found this restaurant after hiking. We ordered beef roll, tofu, veg, and famous juicy dumplings. Great flavor. The manager is friendly and asked us how the food tastes and if we are satisfied with the service. We are very happy to be here and this is our 2nd time dining here. Will come back again.

Are the Shrimp XLB and Shrimp shumai shrimp only (i.e. no pork)?

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 I called to complain, the host told me I had to bring the full noodle dish back to the restaurant in order to get a refund. I actually took the time to drive back and return the food exactly as requested. They took the food and mentioned all refund was handled by owner and he was not in that day. Hence they asked me to wait for couple days and promised the refund would be processed. It never happened even after two weeks. I tried to call few times but they never really picked up the phone and can't reach them. It's bad enough to serve spoiled food, but making a customer drive back to return a ruined to-go order and then lying about the refund is completely shameless. They literally took the food back and kept my money. Avoid this place at all costs.

Food is great but service is a train wreck. We won't be back…read more When they first opened, they must of had 10+ people working there, exceptional service. Now 1 person in the kitchen, 1 person hosting and waiting for front of house. We waited 1 hour for our desert, only to come back and tell us that he cancelled it because it's no longer on the menu, even though we ordered it from the digital menu that you view from the barcode on the table. The waitors always seem overly stressed, most likely due to the restaurant being understaffed. We had to keep asking and reminding the waiter for to go boxes or other request.

We went for Sunday lunch around 12pm, it was packed but the wait was fast. Service was quick, and…read morethe portions were generous. There were only 2 of us, so we ordered 2 main dishes and one appetizer. For an appetizer, we got the shredded tofu salad. The two mains we got were House Special Sichuan-Style Fish with Pickled Cabbage & Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables. - Tofu Salad: light and filling (we chose this rather than ordering rice). 4/5 - House Special Sichuan-Style Fish with Pickled Cabbage: Love this! Great portion of fish and the pickled cabbage. 5/5 - Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables: Pork belly on top was very soft and just melted in your mouth. There's more pork below it with the preserved mustard greens, the meat below is more meaty and less fatty, which gave a great balance. 5/5 Overall, we would definitely come back again to try their other dishes.

Been here several times now, both as a small group and once for a big family celebration, my dad's…read more70th, in their large private room. The two experiences were pretty different, so I'll break it down. As a small party, this place delivers. Food comes out fast, fresh, and cooked with real flavor. There's a noticeable difference between here and other Chinese spots in the area like J Zhou in Irvine or Classic Chinese Restaurant in Laguna Hills. The ingredients are better, and you can actually taste more wok hei, which a lot of places just don't have. The outer dining room is also well decorated and comfortable, good spot for a smaller group. The large party experience is a different story. First of all, when trying to get the reservation, we were told we needed to put a 200$ deposit in person, and also were told that they may not have the day available if the boss had his own party there. A week later, my parents happened to be in the area and were told that a deposit was not needed. A little strange in my opinion! We had 14+ people in their biggest private room for my dad's birthday, and the AC just couldn't keep up. It was hot and humid the whole time, and the only backup was a single Dyson fan someone brought in. For a big traditional Chinese family dinner like ours, there's an expectation of how things should flow: cold dishes first, then the larger courses spaced out properly, consistent tea service throughout. None of that happened. The big dishes, lobster, whole fish, everything, came out all at once and way too fast, and even after we said something, it didn't change. We were kind of brushed off. Even simple things like getting high chairs or extra napkins for the kids were a struggle. The only reason the night wasn't a bust is that the food was still genuinely good, so my family let it slide since nobody wanted to make a thing of it on my dad's birthday. But they really need to fix how they handle large format dining, because right now it doesn't hold up. I'll keep coming back with my immediate family since we know the food is solid and honestly we're used to this kind of service at Chinese restaurants, it's just how it goes sometimes. But I'd imagine anyone less familiar with that dynamic would walk away with a much worse impression. If they can get their service up to par they will be great. Hoping for changes.

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.

Their sauces are also delicious, one that's a green sauce and one that's like a sweet and sour for a delicious flavor combination. Online order makes it convenient, but I will say I wish I could customize ingredients. They didn't list that there's avocado in it, which I'm not a fan of in general but also don't find it fits the flavor profile though I'm sure most people like it.
