If you like Chinese food and are not eating here you are insane…read more Ok. The buns. Ok the dumplings. Made daily. Perfect. Best in OC. Like so much better than DTF it's a joke. And the rest of the food is great too. Just ate the snake fish in peppers. Amazing balance. Not really spicy. You can taste the fruitiness in the peppers. And you can taste the fish. Chef is a nice guy. From the region in China where they serve a lot of the dishes. Honestly - my fave Chinese in OC. The kind of place that would have a mile long line in New York. Just simple food made perfectly. Perfectly.

This place is not it. I took my mom here because she was craving asian food and she did not like…read morethe food at all. We had the fried rice and beef noodle soup which were bland. Also, the utensils are a cheap plastic which I would not recommend be used in hot soup. The restaurants itself is located in a plaza near the entrance with a lot of other restaurants and an Asian supermarket. Parking can be difficult around lunch and dinner so if you do come, please plan accordingly. For this particular restaurant, there are booths along the sides with tables in the middle. When seated, you can see the menu and order via a QR code located on each table. Besides the food, the service was pretty much nonexistent. The staff are all standing around the kitchen talking loudly to each other and it's impossible to get any service unless you walk up to them and then wait for them to finish their convo. The only time any staff approached our table (besides dropping off food) was when they brought the check. Then they are all smiles and compliments as they have you pay and give tip on a electronic device that they hold onto. It wasn't a good experience dining here and I wouldn't come back to this location again.

I cannot say enough great things about Tustin Shaolin! I feel incredibly grateful to have found…read morethis place while searching for somewhere to learn Tai Chi. From day one, I was welcomed into a warm, supportive community that truly cares about its students. Since starting Tai Chi here, I've noticed a real improvement in my breathing (I have asthma) and my body feels stronger, more balanced, and more at ease overall. The benefits have been both physical and calming, and I look forward to class every week. Doug, the owner, is absolutely amazing. His passion for Tai Chi and Shaolin arts is obvious, and he genuinely cares about every person in the class. He takes the time to give thoughtful corrections, explains movements clearly, and always offers alternatives if you have any physical limitations. His depth of knowledge and care really set this place apart. When I first became interested in Tai Chi, I tried checked out tik tok or YouTube videos but it was all over the place so I began my search for an in person place (in December) it's not February and taking an in-person class is a completely different experience. The personalized guidance, hands-on corrections, and insight you receive here are things you simply cannot get from a video. It has made all the difference in my progress and confidence. I'm so excited to continue my Tai Chi journey here. I highly, highly recommend Tustin Shaolin to anyone looking for Tai Chi! The Shaolin classes also look incredible! I may have to try those someday too!

Highly recommend for anyone looking to bring more balance to both mind and body

Reasonably priced and the progression of color belts through frequent tests keep the kids engaged. I believe there is a free 7 day trial so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Introductory classes are free, and they're always adding new offerings, so it's worth stopping by regularly if you have a difficult schedule.
