    Orange chicken fries
    Ivette z.

    I used to go to a Mongolian BBQ place in Westwood when I went to ucla and I have been trying to find one in OC. This place definitely scratched that itch. It was SO good. They also have a Chinese food buffet, but my favorite was easily the Mongolian bbq. Also, everyone kept coming in to get the orange chicken fries so we of course had to try it...I get the hype. Super yummy. Will be going back soon!

    To go menu.

    Stopped for the weekend buffet since we came to Starbucks. Food is fresh and tasty. Lots of shrimp dishes, coconut and salt & pepper were really good. Hot & sour soup was really good. Fresh self serve Mongolian bbq. It's of options and lots of sauce options Jazz music and intimate. Wasn't busy at 338 pm. Great service. Worth a try.

    A friend and I wanted to try a Mongolian BBQ place near us, but they are closed on Monday. I found a few other options, and we decided to come and try Panda Mongolian BBQ. They are located in a strip mall, and we arrived around 6pm. There was plenty of parking and a lot of seating available inside. We walked in, and I told the woman at the register it was our first time here, and she told us how it works. The restaurant is spotless. They apparently had an ownership change in January, and it looks like a brand new restaurant. There are three booths along the front window, and a good number of tables as well. There are two food stations, one for Mongolian BBQ and one Chinese food, and the price for both is $7.99 per pound. For the Mongolian BBQ, you grab a bowl and fill it with your ingredients. The four available proteins are beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp and they were all very chilled. There is also a big spread of veggies and noodles at the end. All of the veggie containers and noodles were full and very fresh, as they appeared to be ready for the evening dinner crowd. Once you have loaded up your bowl, you take it to the cook and tell them which combination of the six sauces you would like. I loaded my bowl with beef, shrimp, a little pork, jalapenos, green peppers, mushrooms, and noodles. I took my bowl to the grill and told the cook I wanted the #1 Spicy Garlic Sauce which the host said was very popular. The cook then prepares it for you, and puts it in a to-go container. Take the container to the register to weigh and pay, then grab a seat or head out. The Chinese food is buffet style and is already prepared. You just load up your container, weigh, and go. They are apparently known for their Orange Chicken Fries which I'll have to come back and try. My container was a little under a pound and cost a tad bit over $8 after tax. The food was cooked perfectly, was fresh, flavorful, delicious, and filling. I went heavy on the protein and light on the noodles, it's all the same price. I don't know where you're going to find a better bargain than this for delicious Mongolian BBQ.

    $7.99 per pound ~ $16 plate

    At $7.99 per pound, fresh of the wok entrees, you can have some real fun DIYing a plate! Lots of self service but staff is attentive to make sure you get taken care of! They're under new management and they actually had a 20% promo when i went too! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well! Food quality is actually my favorite part. Plenty of tasty options like honey shrimp, orange chicken, bbq pork!

    Went back a few days ago with some friends. We used to go here once a month years ago. Glad to say we'll be doing that again now! We had no issues with the service so that's great. Food was delicious, even my pickiest eater friend loved it. The Chinese food buffet area was hot and fresh. Overall it looks like they're off to a great start!

    (Friday 3pm) I absolutely loved it! Service was beyond amazing! Explained to us the options and the steps since it was our first time there. Ambiance was very open friendly and casual. Definitely can see myself with a group of friends here. Portion size definitely depends on how much YOU want to eat. They have two plate sizes; small and large (Mongolian) Each pound (1lbs) is $7.99. They have Chinese food or Mongolian, can do both if you choose. I will say this place needs more decor and a bit more of ventilation but besides these minor details I highly recommend!!! Cleanliness 9/10 Service 10/10 Location 8/10 Ambiance 8/10 Portions 10/10 Overall 9/10 I will definitely be going back! *everyone has different experiences, remember to be kind.*

    My family and I have been coming here since they opened. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The self serving area is always clean and fully stocked. The food is great, they have different options of protein like, chicken, pork, beef and shrimp. They have lots of veggie options to add to your plate. The food is cooked in front of you, so it's always hot and fresh. Tables are always clean. Our family loves coming here. Staff is great and makes coming here wonderful.

    Orange chicken fries
    Cha L.

    What a hole in the wall gem of a place! You pick out your items in a bowl and take it to the grill where you can pick your sauces! I like the garlic ponzu sauce the best. Teriyaki one was a bit sweet. The fire dragon sauce is like black pepper. Try all and see which one u like! After it's cooked, you take it to the register and you'll weigh it and pay. As of the date of writing this, it's $7.99 a pound. You can also get Chinese food by the pound, they have like honey walnut shrimp, char siu, fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken, etc. The place is very clean and well maintained! Customer service is also A+! Also... GET THE ORANGE CHICKEN FRIES. IT IS SO GOOD!!!!

    Orange Chicken Fries
    Mai P.

    I came to try out this place because I saw that the store has changed owners and changed into something completely different. I was so excited to try this place out, especially with how great the marketing was about their promotions and menu items. I have been here quite a couple of times already previously to this, so here are picture references to what I've bought: Mongolian BBQ and Orange Chicken Fries! I always do the build your own per lb. with the #4 Dragon sauce because I think it's the most flavorful. Every other sauce is good as well, but I just preferred #4! This place is very self-explanatory--you get a bowl and you just stuff it with all the things you want. And if you need another bowl for noodles separately you can do so and they would still cook it altogether for you. The buffet area goes by $7.99/lb, same concept as the previous, but pre-cooked and all you need to do is weigh at the end and pay. The owners and the staff are all so generally nice! The middle aged man and woman that's usually upfront is always so so kind and happy to see new and previous customers which makes the mood so much more pleasant and not as unwelcoming. There's lots of seating areas with warm lighting to sit so you have plenty of space to chill. It's always so clean when I come in and that's something I think says a lot about this place. 100% recommend you to try out this place and if it's not your thing, at least you said you tried it! Food is absolutely delicious and the price per lb doesn't hurt anyone either!

    I love the atmosphere here. We have our go-to table. We have our go-to orders and every single time they have really nice staff that always care and try to make it a good experience. The food is amazing. They have a hot section and they also have the raw section. Highly recommend going to the hot section and getting some coconut shrimp and some wings. For the actual food itself, get a ton of meat because it's light and just keep going with a lot of protein and then you can fill up on the other stuff as extra. Remember it's $7.99 per pound so you can get a lot of food at a cost-effective price and it's delicious. I highly recommend only one sauce. You should also give the orange chicken fries a try. It is delicious and always comes out very hot!! Come check this place out!!!

Looks like a converted bar with plenty of booths. Our no nonsense server warmed up to us as lunch progressed. We ordered sweet and sour and king pao chicken from the somewhat (?) lunch menu, both very inexpensive. My wife liked the hot n sour soup. My egg flower soup was a STAR! Not too thick, great flavor and nice and hot! Some large egg rolls were included. A little oily for my taste but again, Irene liked hers. You can ask for some S&S/mustard dipping sauce. A slightly different take on how they prepared the mustard. The sweet and sour was decent breaded chicken with good homemade sauce, chopped onions and peppers. No pineapple darn it. My Kung Pao could have been called Kung zucchini! That was okay as the portion was huge and I shared some. Plenty of peanuts too (I wished they had been cooked inside the wok..). More than enough fried rice (we took some home. I always ask myself would we come back? A resounding yes as I have to try their egg foo young! I admit I was disappointed that the tea is in a single serve bag instead of a pot.

Hopefully next time the service is a little smoother, but if you're craving great dumplings, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Dynasty is located in a small strip mall and is next door to Daiso. This means there's plenty of parking so parking shouldn't be a problem when we got here around 5 PM. I noticed there weren't many people there. Granted, it was still early and I'm assuming you'll get a little busier as the night goes on. We were greeted and seated at a table. The people were nice and while I was surprised they didn't speak. Cantonese, the server spoke Mandarin and help us make decision on what items to order. We ended up getting the green beans, the filet mignon French style, a black bean fish fillet, and their house special fried rice. I thought the best item that we got was the fried rice. They put a decent amount of shrimp and barbecue pork and it tasted pretty good. The green beans was a tad bit on the sweeter side which I wasn't used to, but it had decent flavors. The filet mignon was a little bit on the smaller side and there wasn't a ton of pieces in there and it was the most expensive dish of the night. I probably will skip that next time. The fish fillet was actually pretty good. All in all, 3.5/5 stars is probably what I would give it. There are definitely better Chinese restaurants if you're willing to drive a little bit out. At least it's nice that this place is conveniently close to where we live.

And said we decided to share and eat off of my two brothers plate before we decided to consider coming back or eating more. There was only one worker that was working at the time, but she did a phenomenal job, considering she was holding down the fort for the restaurant by herself. She also mentioned she doesn't like lamb, but she would eat the one here herself so it gave me a pretty good first impression thus far. We ordered the lamb skewers, grilled rib, shank over rice, homemade yogurt, and Cole slaw. Lamb Skewers - 4.5/5 the portion was very generous! $15 for 3 large skewers that was about 1.25 ft length each. Was perfectly grilled and did not taste gamey at all. I believe it was Szechuan pepper that seasoned the skewers. I didn't eat enough to recognize if there was any numbing, but the bite that I took was amazing. Outside was crunchy inside was chewy enough to enjoy, but not tough. Grilled rib - 5/5 I was very pleasantly surprised at how although it was very charred and crunchy in the outside that the inside was very soft and fatty. The meat literally fell off the bone. Again, no gaminess and very pleasant to enjoy. Shank - 5/5 I would have to say that this was the hero of the evening from all the dishes we ordered. The meat was extremely soft, fatty, and literally fell off the bone as I was holding it up. It was very similar to pork flavor and extremely enjoyable for me. On a separate note, I enjoyed that so much but because I had already eaten before this dinner, I came back a separate day to have that dish for myself. The rice seems to be cooked in some type of protein broth and if I had to guess it's probably lamb broth along with carrot. It also came with size of pickled items to lighten the fatness from the meat as well as a small bowl of lamb based soup. Homemade yogurt - 4/5 had a slight tartness to it and light sweetness, but was more leaning towards the sweet side of things. I enjoyed it with the dried raisins and the granola for texture and it was a pretty good ending to the entire meal. Coleslaw - 3/5 it tasted average and didn't seem to be anything special. Though it was good to have it along with all the other protein items to lighten up each bite.
