Some of the BEST Taiwanese food we've had in Orange County! King Chops absolutely impressed us, and…read morewe'll definitely be coming back. The crispy pork chop plate is a MUST-ORDER. The pork chop was perfectly seasoned, super crispy on the outside, and incredibly satisfying. They also give you a generous portion, so you definitely get your money's worth. The braised pork rice was another favorite. The pork was so tender that it practically melted in your mouth, and it paired perfectly with the rice. But the biggest surprise for us was actually the cucumber salad! It reminded us of a kimchi-style cucumber, but we thought this one was even better. It was super fresh and crunchy, with the perfect amount of garlic and a great balance of flavors. The service was also quick, polite, and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Their teas were great too! Overall, King Chops is definitely a spot we'd recommend if you're craving Taiwanese food. We'll absolutely be back!

Depending on the current promotions, I've seen additional coupons for UCI students or for BOGO half off. I like coming here to get authentic Taiwanese food. Reminiscing old times with aunties and uncles eating at night markets. They definitely use fresh vegetables and cook their soy sauce eggs well. The dried pork chop has all spice flavoring with a hint if white pepper and black pepper. So good. Staff is good and efficient. Just have to pay attention if you are taking food to go as she yells out the number in Chinese first and then English. So if you aren't nearby or listen carefully you will miss your order.

Their wontons…read moreare honestly better than Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty, and I say that as an OG fan of both, especially after living in the Irvine area. Their xiao long bao is also really good and definitely comparable to Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the dumplings and wontons were so moist and flavorful. The beef roll is a MUST. Unlike some places where it can be dry, theirs had the perfect amount of sauce and was so good. Also get the lava egg yolk steamed buns. So soft, moist, fresh, and delicious. But surprisingly, one of the biggest standouts was their drinks. They use real tea, and their taro milk tea completely changed my mind about taro drinks. Fresh taro mixed with real tea, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. I would literally come here just for the drinks. If you love boba, you need to try them. Just be prepared to wait because this place gets BUSY. Lunchtime was packed, and we came around 3 PM and were lucky to get a spot. Everything was so satisfying without feeling overly heavy afterward. Definitely one of my new favorite finds and a place I'll be coming back to again and again.

We ordered quite a bit because we were starving!!! The soup dumplings weren't the best I've ever had, but they were passable. I would stick with the typical pork ones instead of some of the other unique types. We ordered the Chinese pancake with pork, which was delicious - so crispy and flavorful. We also got 2 noodle dishes - Dan Dan noodles and the jajiang mian. I preferred the Dan Dan noodles because they had a bit more flavor. At the end we decided to try the crispy chicken and that had some spice!!! I really enjoyed the mala spice that the chicken had and would def get it again. Overall, the food was pretty good and service was great as well.

Will have to try another item next time.

It's so good, my son started to dance while he was eating! My husband said he hasn't had such delicious multi-layered flavors in food in a long time! Not greasy, not overly salty but still packed with flavor! It is pricey but it's because the ingredients are really high quality! The iberico pork is so tender and fresh. We will be back very soon to pick up another dinner meal!

I got extremely lucky with a spot right in front - with a car leaving just as I was getting extremely frustrated with constantly driving around and no open spots. Great location & great plaza though with so many options and so much going on here - that's why it's so crowded! Ambiance - interior is beautiful and vibes are nice. Most restaurants had a long wait - but this one, we could get seated at an actual booth immediately. Service was good, very friendly and attentive. My friend and I ordered Beef Skewers, Chicken Skewers, & Mapo Tofu & Ground Pork with Rice, Orange Chicken, & Black gold molten custard buns. Food was great - good value for good portion sizes. But orange chicken was a little too sweet. Would definitely recommend and would likely come back!

The potstickers were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

I got the potsticker combo with the corn chowder. Not sure if the cornstarch settled down during transport but the soup was a bit watery. The potstickers were really good and I'd imagine that they'd be crispier when fresh!! The beef dry noodles had so much flavor and I'd choose that over the bafang signature noodles. Definitely try the fried pork chop and I'd pass on the spicy wontons. They had no flavor /: I like their dumpling sauce but they didn't have any chili crisp which was lowkey a let down. Overall a really solid meal regardless!!
