I ordered the broccoli beef, orange peel chicken, and the Shanghai red braised pork belly, and honestly there wasn't a single miss. The broccoli beef was tender and perfectly sauced, not greasy at all. The orange peel chicken had the right balance of sweet and citrusy with a little kick, and the pork belly was the star. So rich, melt in your mouth, and packed with deep savory flavor. All of the entrees come with rice, which makes it even better for sharing or leftovers. I also ordered their house made soup dumplings and they were incredible. Thin skins, juicy inside, and full of flavor without needing much extra sauce. You can tell this is a place that knows what they're doing. The food speaks for itself and I'll absolutely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality Chinese food in the area. I loved how it was so clean inside and the staff was so helpful when giving me suggestions from the menu! Options like americanized chinese and authentic dishes filled the menu!

Pros: Nice decor and looks inviting…read more Cons: Very slow service. Servers weren't attentive. The food was mediocre. It reminded me of cafeteria food. It was edible but not much flavor. Maybe other dishes are better? But I won't be back to find out.

My 74 year old dad was craving some good old-school Chinese American food for his birthday. We've…read moretried so many places in south OC nothing has come close to Chinese takeout in the 90s. We've tried hole in the wall restaurants and fancy restaurants. This is what we were looking for and our search is over. This place is amazing. I placed an online order and picked it up 30 minutes later. The order: orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, garlic shrimp, chow mein, fried rice, and egg rolls. And everything was fantastic. Very kind staff and reasonably priced. The inside is cool and clean. I'm so thankful that my dad got what he wanted for his birthday and we'll definitely be back. Thank so much!

PROS: - Price was very reasonable for the volume offered during this economy. - I ordered the House Special Egg Foo Young since someone else on Yelp recommended it, and it was what surprised me. It was both visually and culinarily pleasing. This is a definite must try. - I also ordered the House Special & House Special Beef. Although the dishes weren't as visually appealing as the House Special Egg Foo Young, the taste was actually quite delicious. CONS: - Nothing really stood out on the negative side to report. - Wished that there were more eggs in the Egg Foo Young, but in this economy, it's understood that fresh eggs aren't cheap. CONCLUSION: If you've got a craving for Chinese food on a tight budget, this venue is a definite must try!

To be honest, the food here was just okay and a little disappointing for the price. We ordered the…read morecrispy tofu, pork belly, minced pork fried rice, steamed fish, and beef with scallions. The crispy tofu was honestly my favorite simple but really good, you can never really go wrong with fried tofu. The beef with scallions was pretty spicy, which I personally liked. The pork belly though was disappointing to the point that we didn't even finish it. The steamed fish was decent, but there were a lot of big bones so you really have to be careful while eating it. 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.

Shanghai style smoked fish ($16.5) - This fish isn't smoked, rather it's deep fried twice creating an extremely crispy exterior and is dipped in a sweet soy sauce. It's a unique tasting appetizer, perfect for sharing. Sauteed string beans with garlic ($13.5) - These beans had a slight crunch and are a great veggie option. Steamed fish and shrimp dumplings ($14.50 - 8 pieces) - This is a good option if one is looking to get their dumpling fix. Steamed veggie dumplings ($14.50 - 8 pieces) - This is another good dumpling option that tastes great. However the dumplings aren't that filling themselves. Braised beef shank noodle soup ($16.50) - Made with braised beef, pickles, cilantro, bok choy, green onions, noodles and a savory and spicy beef spot, this dish is perfect for a cold day. Crispy beef rolls ($15 - 6 pieces) - This consisted of tender beef, cucumbers, scallions, and a savory sauce all rolled in a crispy and flaky scallion pancake. It's one of my favorite items here. Kung pao chicken ($16) - This stir fried dish is prepared with tender chicken, peanuts, and spices and is my favorite dish here. Sweet and sour chicken ($16) - I was impressed with the quantity of chicken in this dish. It was perfectly prepared with a crispy batter and a tangy and sweet sauce that really hit the spot! Pineapple beef ($16) - This consisted of tender and thin pieces of beef stir fried with some pineapple and is another solid dish to get here. Chocolate mochi xiao long bao ($11 - 5 pieces) - These chewy dumplings had a wonderful chocolate filling. Rose flavored red bean buns ($14 for 3) - I felt these were pricey but they had a good amount of filling and the bao bun was soft and fluffy. Golden egg custard buns ($13.5 for 3) - These are similar to the red bean buns, except the inside has egg custard. I really wish they doubled or tripled the custard, because the amount they give is miniscule, and it's for that reason I would pass on these. Overall I'm impressed with many of the items here and the pricing is reasonable. Even though I've tried so many dishes here, I wish they had even more offerings that didn't have pork. I'll definitely be back.

There was supposed…read moreto be a BOGO deal that did not apply correctly, but we were too frustrated to call and change the order. Since that issue was more platform-related than food-related, I did not factor it into my rating. The best items were definitely the beans and the Kurobuta pork soup xiao long bao. The crab xiao long bao also tasted good, but several dumplings in the box had broken open during delivery, so all the soup leaked out (see photo). The beef rolls were decent, though the sauce leaned a little too sweet for my taste. The scallion pancakes were flavorful but slightly greasy. Overall, for the price and taste, I would still give it a solid 4/5.

Since my tastes aren't quite as adventurous, we ordered the Sichuan sweet and spicy chicken and the mapo tofu. I wasn't sure what to expect from the chicken dish, but it reminded me of a chicken in garlic sauce. The portion was very generous. full of meat, and not very spicy at all. Likewise, the mapo tofu wasn't that spicy but it had a lot of Sichuan peppercorns, which provided that mouth-numbing feel. The serving was large enough that we had leftovers (and the chicken dish, too). Maybe because my husband is not Chinese, they toned down the spice level - which is funny because I'm the one that can't handle spicy. The restaurant is nice and modern. They have QR codes for the menu, but they also have physical copies as well. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the menu was much larger than the menu pics I had seen uploaded on Yelp (I added a bunch of new ones). Service was fine (though they were arguing over whose fault it was that a customer was ignored, which gave it that authentic feel). Plenty of parking in the lot.

Although it's not the best beef wrap that I've had, but it does hit the spot. Today I went for a wonton noodle soup. Honestly, I wouldn't order again next time because number one the meat is too dense and not soft enough. The wonton skin is nice. I discovered that they actually have two type of noodles depending on what comes in through the order. One is more flat and the other is more round. I prefer the round one that came with beef noodle soup the other day but they told me it just depends on what comes in and every day could be different. I do recall in the past that I've tried their buns and was not impressed.

Highlights: - crossing the bridge noodles - garlic pork ribs - seafood egg tofu pot - snakehead fish with pickled vegetables - eggplant - side dishes from the deli counter (pig ears, mushroom, tripe) - brown sugar rose jelly dessert that you can grab on your own. Very refreshing if you ordered a lot of spicy dishes Only note I have is that some dishes aren't always consistent. Like the pork ribs were definitely less meaty before compared to the most recent time. And that the smoked duck this time was a little more dry and less meaty too. They have 2 private rooms for larger parties, and their portions are pretty large. No complaints on their service either! Though they forgot our bowl of rice for a while, but we eventually got it!
