Small location in strip mall. Variety of choices. Delicious food. We always get the salt n pepper shrimp. So far we have liked everything we've tried. Decent pricing. read more

Ordering from Rising Sun is quick and easy and their delivery guy always arrives on time. Food tastes great. Prices are good but make sure you order from their own website, not those other delivery services that charge more. read more

We ordered Kung pao chi keen, chicken with green beans and Mongolian beef. Everything literally had the same flavor and was super bland. Kung pao should be spicy--it was the dullest we have ever tasted. Overall experience was very disappointing. read more

Ordered here a few days back . Found the spicy items ,eg Garlic chicken on the sweeter side , Kung Pao chicken had a weird taste to it as if the chicken wasn't fresh . Appeared like all items had pretty much a common teriyaki sauce . read more

Don't understand the low ratings from a bunch of negative nancies, look the food is good and the pricing is unrivaled - they are also very nice VEGAN OPTIONS TOO!!! read more

Probably the best Chinese food in the RSM-metropolitan-area. Good portions and tasty food.

Just had lunch delivered. Ordering on Yelp was fast and easy. Minimum order is $15 and the delivery is FREE! What a deal!!! Delivery was on-time and food was piping hot. And the driver was super nice too! Pan-fried Dumplings and Honey Walnut Chicken. Yum!!! The dumplings tasted good, but looked to be closer to steamed than pan-fried. No crispiness at all and no browning either. (Read the note below to find out what amazing thing the restaurant did!) But again, the flavor was good and I've yet to meet a dumpling I didn't like. ***NOTE: Shortly after I finished lunch, I received a call through Yelp with a recorded message that someone wanted to speak with me about my order. It was a very nice woman from Rising Sun. She had read my review and let me know that I had ordered steamed dumplings and not fried. In thinking about it, I had deleted the item from my cart once and when I re-added it, I must have ordered steamed instead of pan-fried. It was totally my fault! So, the dumplings were perfect - cooked just the way I ordered! The amazing thing was that the woman offered to bring me over an order of pan-fried ones anyhow! Now that is top-notch customer service! I was full and would not take advantage of the offer even if I wasn't, but that speaks volumes about how well they treat their customers! I've seen biz owners attack reviewers for leaving reviews, I've had biz owners apologize for bad experiences, but this restaurant actually offered to fix MY MISTAKE! And she was so nice about it.*** The chicken was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and well-coated. Lots of walnuts! (Yay for me) and it came on a bed of sliced cabbage with a good-size amount of white rice. The dish had a delicious and mildly sweet flavor. The meal had ample amounts, so for $15 and with no time to cook, I've got a scrumptious meal for lunch and dinner! I will definitely be ordering from there on a very regular basis! read more

Probably the worse fast food chinese ive had. The chow mein was plain. Rice noodles were normal. I got the teriyaki chicken for my side and that didnt have much flavor to it. The only good thing i could think about this place is that it's cheap. But for what I got, i don't think its worth it. read more

Love their food. Anything you chose is delicious and tasty! Highly recommend! Very friendly and efficient

The owners r super nice. Food is always good! You wont b dissapointed. Noodles r yummy and i love their dumplings. read more

The food was OK. It wasn't bad and it wasn't great but enough to satisfy my fried rice cravings without driving too far. We went after 5 PM in my food was made to order. Next time I'll take advantage of their free delivery. read more

Some months ago I went to Rising Sun and was not overly impressed, but this week I went back and ordered from the small, but wonderful, selection of items from the lunch counter. This is a very small cafe, with only 2 folks working, the cook and the wonderful overworked woman behind the counter. I ordered the Hot and Sour Soup. It's cold outside and this soup is Hot in a very spicy good way and sour in a wonderful satisfying way. I would go back for this soup alone. The chow mein wasn't fancy, but it was really good as was the BBQ Pork. Just remember, you might have a little longer wait with only 2 people working, but I am willing to wait a bit for really good food, and this is the best Chinese I have had here in Orange County for a long time. I finally felt that this was something close to really good take out places you can find near San Francisco. It isn't Tao Tao in Sunnyvale, CA or the Far East Cafe in Chinatown, San Francisco or even Ho Chows in Fremont, CA, but it is really really good and authentic and the soup will really warm you up!! So stand in line, be patient and kind (just two folks remember), because the wait is worth it. read more

The owners of Rising Sun are amazing. Their food was already our favorite around and the fact that they were willing to drive 20 minutes to deliver it is already outside the usual customer service. Their staff has always been friendly and helpful whenever we have gone in. However, they have gone above and beyond. When they were dropping off our order, my daughter accidentally dropped the bag. The delivery woman felt so bad and was very apologetic (although it was not her fault) and went back to the restaurant to return later with a couple of appetizers to apologize. I told her it wasn't necessary but they felt it was. She drove out of her way to give us an unnecessary apology (and our food wasn't ruined because of their excellent packaging.). This restaurant is most definitely 5 stars. read more

Rising Sun was absolutely awesome!! They had excellent customer service and delicious food! The food was fresh and authentic. It is the BEST in the area. My family and I had a great time! read more

Rising Sun - Me after eating Rising Sun!!! - Chinese Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

Personally I really like the flavors and freshness going on at this place. I can tell there's love in the dishes! Fresh white meat which I'm surprise! I like it a lot more than Mr. Wok and Dinho. I've been looking for a fresher Chinese spot and I think I have found it! Friendly mom & pop shop and the prices are good for the amount you get! Highly recommended!! read more

Salty salty salty! From beef and broccoli to Spicy jalapeños chicken (which was also extremely dry)To hot and sour soup. We couldn't even get it down with water. It felt like they accidentally emptied an entire bottle of soy sauce during cooking prep. They even screwed up rice which is almost impossible to do. Difinitly not the moist sticky Asian rice we are used to. Now all that food Is sitting in our trash can. We eat tons of Chinese food and often order from different restaurant around. This was a new one we thought to give a try. Never again. The only think semi decent was their dumpling! Hence the one star review read more

Came here looking for some fast Chinese food on my lunch break. Didn't expect anything too crazy but boy was I wrong! I got the lunch combo which came out to like $7.50. The price is perfect and the portions do not disappoint. What I like was how fresh and healthy the food tasted. They were a little low on items, but that's because I came right after the lunch rush so can't complain haha. I got a mix of rice and noodles and teriyaki and mushroom chicken. Now normally, I always think teriyaki sauce is a bit too sweet and thick, but the sauce here was PERFECT. I'm still craving more. It wasn't too sweet or thick. You could tell they use their own sauce instead of that nasty bottled stuff. I also quite enjoyed the mushroom chicken. The mushroom and zucchini was fresh and cooked to perfection. Usually after lunch eating out, I feel full and gross which leaves me drowsy at work, but that was not the case here. I was full but okay because the god wasn't gross heavy. This place far exceeded my expectations and I'll definitely be back :) great food and great service! Plus it never hurts to support local businesses!! read more

My favorite place in South OC for take-away Chinese Food! They have excellent vegetarian options that are very tasty. The vegetarian orange chicken (soy) and garlic eggplant with tofu are definitely worth a try. Definitely a weekly visit for me! read more

All I can say is... deliciousSecond week in a row Actually order the exact same dishes. Thank you for staying open during these stressful times. read more

5 STARS!!! This place is my new go to for sure. I have lived across the street for several months, but kinda ignored this place until I got a menu in my mailbox and saw they have several vegetarian meat substitute plates. Went the same day and ordered the vegetarian broccoli beef and the vegetarian orange chicken. DELICIOUS! Everything was fresh and the flavor was amazing! Orange chicken can be super sugary, but this one was perfect. They also give you free cream cheese wontons with a $25 purchase, those were also excellent. If you are a vegetarian, I highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

This Restaurant may not look great from the outside! But the Food is so Fantastic in the side! I have been trying to find a great Chinese Restaurant in Orange County, and I finally found one! It's number One in my Book! read more

I like this food but never had it during lunch hours where food is under a heat lamp. When ordering for dinner or weekend it takes a very long time. read more

Delicious Chinese take out. They have lunch special in the hot tray, and then for dinner they cook it to order. I walked in last night because I was craving curry. The Thai Coconut Curry Chicken was delicious! I received a heaping bowl of white meat chicken, cliched potatoes, onion and carrots. One bowl is easily two servings. I am happily finishing it for lunch today. Oh, steamed rice comes with it and all for $9.65! I highly recommend. I will definitely be back! read more

So i got the bbq pork(fat) fried rice tonite. Huge portion tastes ok BUT, as you can see i havent eaten much of it yet and already have about 2.5 oz of FAT! UNEDIBLE FAT. I am extremely disappointed that the person who wotks there would put this into someone's take out. I am pissing and moaning but nothing will be done. I wont go back for a while. Wtf!! Why dont people take pride in this craft anymore. Restaurants now a days hire monkeys to slop food on plates with out a clue of any cookery techniques for crap money. Cheaper the better margin. We need to start holding these restaurants accountable to some sort of ethics read more

Delicious! I called in an order in the middle of lunch rush and our food was ready in 20 minutes. Everything was fresh and the takeout containers were stuffed full of food! We had a little bit of everything, honey garlic shrimp (still smells like garlic in here), Mongolian Beef, vegetable chow mein, and my favorite pineapple chicken fried rice. Even though we ordered way too much food, they gave us a container of white rice as well. I will definitely be ordering here again. Just as soon as I can get up read more

I like this place. Since me and my husband moved to this area, this place been our fav. Our favorite is salt & peper chicken wings, soo delicious! We love chinese food. The place is clean. The owner Peter, he's nice too. read more

I live near by for 21 years. I have never eaten here. Tonight my wife is out and I ordered from here for delivery, threw Yelp app. It showed up to my door fast. It was hot and fresh. The food is pretty darn good. It gets a 7.5 in the Chinese food meter. For the price, convenience, the food. I will definitely order from here again. Good job. Fresh hot Chinese food to my front door. Yeeeee haa! read more

My go to spot for a quick Chinese food fix. Simple and fast in and out if your looking for some carry out. If you are looking for a spot to take your significant other for a romantic experience this definitely isn't the place. The staff is always really nice and the food is great for a lunch spot when time is limited. The dining room has a TV and is always clean and tidy. For under $7.00 you get a healthy portion of either white rice, chow mien, or fried rice or even a mix if you ask. From this point you can choose 1, 2 or 3 sides and an egg roll or wonton. I always get the white rice with two sides of pepper chicken and egg roll. I'll also agree with the others that say Rising Sun is way better than Panda Express. Ive never had a bad experience here or have even had the slightest complaint. One thing I noticed while trying to check in on Yelp. The address is wrong unless there is another location at the address given on Yelp. The Rising Sun I go to is on Bake and Portola between Ralph's and Subway. Ive also noticed that the photos people are posting are also of this location. read more

New Owners! I've lived in this area for 17 years now, and have frequented this particular chinese fast food restaurant since it was attached to the next door donut shop. Basically it's entire existence. It's always been decent, but the new owners have really stepped it up, and the food is fantastic! My 5 star rating is based on Chinese fast food. It doesn't get much better than this. The new owners are super nice and friendly, and the 3 times I've been in since, the food has been fresh.. If you've never been, give them a try, if you've been before, you'll like it even more now. Cheers! Update: They now deliver within 5 miles! I was happy with the food when you go to take out, but ordering it is even better. Everything is made fresh and to order and is delievered very quickly. (Within 30 mins) Prices are great for the amount of food they give you. They don't come in a small cardboard box, they give you a full round tray per item. I hope they stay around for a long time. I now order from them about twice a week. Convenient, delicious and at a great price. read more

This is my go to place for lunch in the area! Fast and authentic Chinese food. There is new management and the place has been nicely retouched. If you are looking for a Mom and Pop Chinese restaurant that is better than Panda Express, look no further. Forgot to mention - prices are very reasonable!! read more

They have been here for years. And for years they were excellent. Always a combo. Now? No signs, but combo plate is up at 5 pm and then u have to order off menu. But there are no menus out and not much English spoken. We stood there to put in our order, and three people who came in after us had their orders taken and filled before us. The fried rice was swished around in some oil with a bit of egg. Nothing else. My husband and I ordered the same thing. My portion was huge. His tiny (we shared). And while the food used to be pretty good? It was mediocre as best. I literally have been coming here for 20 years. We will not return. read more

I'm 4 months pregnant and I've been craving good Chinese food every day for weeks. I can always count on this place to deliver great food that definitely hits the spot. I order the lunch special with fried rice, the honey walnut shrimp is amazing and I love the chicken with green beans! Thank you guys for the awesome food! read more

I call them on the way home and Order Singapore noodles. The dish is amazing. I order it all the time and they are as good as any other Chinese restaurant around. The fish in black bean sauce is also a great dish. kudos to these guys for making sit-down restaurant food and a fast food restaurant. It's a must try if you live locally read more

Love this place. It's tiny and really only good for takeout. Owners are super friendly and food is always fresh and hot. Salt pepper pork chops, fried rice, and green beans are awesome. We get take out at least once a week here. Super easy to order online and it's always ready on time! read more

I think this shop is the most delicious Chinese food shop in Orange County. I ate Chinese dishes from Panda Express, Little Chopsticks, and Mr Wok , and I think that Rising Sun is most delicious. Beef chew mein, Egg Flower Soup, and Cashew Nut Chicken are soooooo delicious!!!!! The female staff here is also awesome, and very friendly and helpful. I like her. I really appreciate her too. Thank you very mush, Rising Sun !!!!!!! Below is my Japanese comment. このRising Sun はほかの中華料理店と比較してもOrenge County で一番おいしい中華料理店だと思う。Panda Express, Little Chopsticks, Mr Wokの中華食べたけど、　このRising Sunが一番おいしいと思う。 中でもBeef chew mein, Egg Flower Soup, Cashew Nut Chicken は抜群にうまい。 お店の女性店員の人(中国系の人だと思う)もいつも良いサービスを提供してくれて, 親切で好感が持てる。本当に彼女にも感謝です。 ありがとう, Rising Sun !!!!!! read more

Ordered delivery through yelp 24. Hot, fresh , incredible. I would give the food and service an A+. read more

Really really sweet people. Their food is always fresh and amazing. Definitely a go to.

Was a big fan of the place back when the previous owners were cooking up the dishes. Not so much for the new owners when they first took over a while back. Thought I'd give it another chance. Better for sure, but worth the drive? No. Happened to be driving by so thought about I'd check it out. There were people inside eating and the food looked much better on the serving line. But all in all it was just ok. Honestly, wish I'd had gone to the BBQ place next door instead. read more
