I had been wanting to try 7 Grams for such a long time, and I finally got the chance to visit! And…read morewow, it was even better than I expected!! The restaurant is located in a large shopping plaza. Although I wouldn't say there's plenty of parking, I was able to find a spot without much trouble. When I first saw the crowd waiting outside, I got a little intimidated and even thought, "Should we just go somewhere else?" Haha. But surprisingly, the wait wasn't that long, and we were seated much faster than I expected. Once we sat down and looked at the menu, I was already impressed! I loved both the variety of dishes and the prices. There were so many things I wanted to try, but I decided to save some for future visits. Haha. We ordered the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), a noodle dish, the Beef Roll, and the Scallion Pancake. The food came out pretty quickly, and we started trying everything one by one. OMG. Everything was SO GOOD!! Honestly, every single dish exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The Beef Roll was especially impressive because it had more beef inside than the ones I've tried at other restaurants. The Xiao Long Bao was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The Scallion Pancake was perfectly crispy on the outside, with that wonderful savory flavor. And the noodles! I can't remember the exact name, but I think it had "Golden" in it? Haha. It had a unique flavor that I'd never experienced before, with a little spicy kick. Even though it was spicy, it was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating until the bowl was completely empty! While we were eating, I suddenly thought about my family at home, so I ordered another Beef Roll to go. And here's another thing that really impressed me: **THE SERVICE!** The employee who helped us with the bill was incredibly friendly and pleasant. I was genuinely happy to leave a tip because the service was that good! But what happened afterward impressed me even more. After paying, I went to use the restroom. The hallway leading to it was somewhat narrow, and whenever I passed an employee, they politely stepped aside to let me through first. It might seem like a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. It felt like treating customers with kindness and respect was simply second nature to everyone working there. Great food, wonderful service, AND reasonable prices? What more could I ask for?! Honestly, **why would I go to Din Tai Fung when I have 7 Grams?!** Haha! From now on, whenever I'm craving Xiao Long Bao, 7 Grams will be my first choice! And I definitely have to come back because the dishes I saw on other tables looked absolutely delicious, too. There are still so many things I want to try! **7 Grams, you've officially won me over!**

What a pleasant surprise! We found this little Xi'an restaurant while shopping and ended up having…read moreone of the most satisfying meals we've had in a while. The lamb skewers were juicy and perfectly seasoned with cumin, and the grilled beef tendon skewers had an amazing crispy, chewy texture. The soup dumplings were full of flavorful broth, and the braised beef knife-cut noodles were chewy with large, tender chunks of beef. We also tried the beef paomo for the first time--it was warm, comforting, and packed with rich flavor. The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and after chatting with the staff we learned the owner is from Xi'an, which explains how authentic everything tasted. If you're craving Northwestern Chinese food in Irvine, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

What happened to EverSpring? Things were so different on our last visit that my mom asked if they…read morechanged ownership, which the staff said happened a few months ago. This spot used to have amazing fresh, delicious food and compostable tableware. Now there are ceramic plates which appeared scratched and dirty, all the food came in different plates/bowls, beverage fountain doesn't work, and worst of all, food was not good. We all ordered things we always do that we love and everything was a miss. My fried rice was SO dry with just a few tofu pieces. I added so much hot sauce, chili, and soy sauce and it still wasn't good. Cucumber salad was completely different and actually off putting. No one said their food was good which is the exact opposite of all of our other experiences. To top it off, everyone felt sort of sick after because of the amount of salt in the food. Staff were doing their best but everything seemed unorganized and we had to constantly ask for things that were missing. Heartbreak.

I had no idea there was a Mama Lu's in OC/Tustin which is great since the selection of…read moreChinese/Cantonese is a bit lacking around here, so more options are always welcome. Met up a friend for dinner here recently and we had to order all of the Cantonese classics. Beef chow fun (gon caau ngau ho): Really good. Great flavor. Beef was tender. It was a little lacking in the wok hei department, but overall a solid 乾炒牛河. Would've liked the chow fun to be a little chewy/springier, but that's just my preference. The sesame seed garnish was an interesting touch haha. Never seen that before. Honey walnut shrimp: No complaints here! Crispy, sweet, mayonnaisey. Delicious. Also the price for this dish is amazing! Very reasonably priced. Salt & pepper squid: Very crispy and tasty. Have I had better elsewhere? For sure, but it's still good here. I'd definitely order it again. Clams w/ Basil: This one took awhile to come out. It was pretty good. The flavors were there, but the most important flavor missing was the one in the name of the dish: Basil! The consistency of the sauce/gravy was perfect and the clams were fresh, but it fell short when it came to any basil flavor. Everything we ordered was great. The portions are very generous and I feel like we got our money's worth here. Aside from a few improvements that could be made to the food, I have a couple improvements I'd like to suggest. They could use a little more selection in their soup offerings. My friend and I would have ordered the fish maw soup which is commonly found in many Canto restaurants. Alternatively, if they had westlake beef soup, we would've ordered that instead, but there aren't really many soup options compared to everything else they have to offer. Also they don't offer white rice in large pots, but as individual bowls instead. For 2 people it wasn't a big deal, but I'd imagine for a large party it would be more cost effective to order a pot of rice instead. However, the bowl of rice is pretty densely packed, so you're getting a lot for what it's worth. I will definitely be back in the near future! I look forward to trying a few other items here and I'm glad I don't have to drive very far for some authentic Chinese food now.

The food is tasty and large portions. I've been here for lunch two times and they were…read moreconsistently good. Lunch specials ($1 or $2 off) are available in addition to regular menu. We had the rice cake noodles that were surprisingly nice and chewy with this great brown sauce. We also had shrimp walnut and braised tofu, along with peking pork chops. You also get soup and rice with the orders. We always have lots of leftovers to pack home. I like the atmosphere of this place which is located inside a supermarket area. You see lots of Chinese (and non-Chinese) people eating there. The food is served quickly and the service is friendly. The water is filled and the pitcher on the table. We love this place!

Took my family out to eat here for a little get together. My Godmother was craving good quality…read moreChinese food and this happened to be not too far from her place, borderline Santa Ana/Tustin area. The parking is okay, its pretty small but its do able. We went to eat around 2 PM on a weekday so parking was great and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We were greeted the moment we walked in and sat at a table. What I liked about their menu was that they offer smaller plates if you want to order individually, and also offer family size plates for sharing. We of course opted for the bigger plates. We ordered orange chicken, chow mein, white rice, broccoli and beef, and pad thai. I want to start off by saying I'm typically picky with my orange chicken. It usually has a tad of an artificial flavor. This place was realllyyyyyy good. The flavor was good for all the dishes we got, the portions were very generous and more than enough for 3. The servers were all nice and checked in periodically on our table. Honestly I would come back here, knowing its affordable with fair portions and good flavor!

These boys have recently listened to the concerns of the People, and they're doing right by us now. STILL have some work to do on the fried and battered items which suck... but if you get Mongolian trio or basil chicken, they will cook it fine and dandy for you, Americans. The battered Orange chicken and everything else is not acceptable, but you can find other items worth the HIGH prices. I'll tell you the truth Americans. If they reduced the price by 4-5$ I would be a weekly customer for the basil chicken, kung pao chicken (very Spicy) and Mongolian TRIO... But if you think you're gonna order some orange chicken you might as well go to the place that has a panda. Avoid the battered items. This is it Americans, updates review for the good people at KPB ASIAN BISTRO!!!!

The spare ribs were delicious as well but expect a lot of unconventional, traditional Chinese dishes not served in most local restaurants.

I invited our friends to Taste of Chang'an to celebrate my husband's birthday. As a regular…read morecustomer, I had looked forward to a wonderful and memorable evening. Instead, I was deeply disappointed, especially with the service and attitude of our server, Lisa. Our bill was $2,060.55, yet the service fell far below what I would expect from a restaurant presenting itself as upscale. I do not expect special treatment because we spent a lot of money. Courtesy, attention, and respect are things every customer deserves. From the moment we began ordering, LISA seemed distracted. She spoke very loudly and repeatedly turned away to chat with other employees while we were placing our order and speaking to her. This made us feel ignored and disrespected. At an upscale restaurant, staff should be trained to listen attentively and serve guests professionally. We ordered about six dishes, including king crab. The draft beer tasted flat and seemed to have almost no carbonation. When we asked to exchange it, Lisa responded rudely and refused. After eating the crab, we requested clean plates, but she brought only two, without chopsticks or spoons. We then waited a long time for the missing utensils. While clearing our dirty plates, she also sighed loudly. When one of our friends raised concerns about the service, Lisa became visibly irritated, argued loudly with us, and stood with her hands on her hips. Instead of calmly listening and addressing the problem, her response made the situation even more tense. I expect staff at an upscale restaurant to handle customer concerns with courtesy, professionalism, and respect. This was extremely disappointing. As the person who had invited everyone, I felt sad and embarrassed that our friends had to experience such an unpleasant dinner. Beyond bringing out the food, our table received very little care or attention. Although we still had food and dessert left, we decided to leave early because the atmosphere had become so uncomfortable. What upset me most was not the money we spent. It was that my husband's birthday--a celebration that should have been joyful and warm--ended in frustration and sadness. I hope management takes this entire experience seriously, including Lisa's lack of attention while taking our order, her communication with guests, and how customer complaints are handled. A restaurant charging upscale prices should provide service that meets those expectations and properly train its staff to listen, communicate respectfully, and resolve concerns professionally. After this experience, I will never return to this restaurant, and I cannot recommend it to friends.

It was quick and the servers recommended a lot of great stuff. We order the flat burger with pulled pork, the trio noodles and we also got the cold chili noodles! Trio noodles: 5/5 I had this before and I didn't really like it much on my first visit but this time it was EXTRAAAAA good! Maybe because there was more tomatoes sauce on it. Noodles were big and it was very well seasoned! The burger: 5/5 wow! Very crispy and filled with LOTS of pork. I like this one compared to the one I had in NY because it didn't have other adds on in it, just straight up pulled pork Cold noodles: 4/5 it was good but I thought the pork skin was kind of odd? It wasn't crispy, it was like mushy and soft which I thought was unique but not my favorite. However, with the chili oils added in, it was perfect!

Was really excited to try this place because it has my two favorite Chinese dishes: rougamou and…read morebiang biang noodles. Obviously, I tried both.

It isn't in the style of Taiwanese bento chicken cutlet. Let's get that out of the way…read more But it's a $13 chicken and rice bowl in 2026. A solid meal, well fried and fat rendered, not much batter in this style. Seasoning is there, and they have an excellent chili oil-sauce thing on each table to add for deep flavor and spice. If I had to change something... I'd add bok choy as a side rather than chopped into the rice? Still solid choice. Service is as usual at an Asian restaurant--order, and they'll respect your meal time and leave you alone unless you ask for attention.

Here is what I ordered and how I score the dish with my comments. Sorry I didn't take pictures…read more Each dish has a number. I am not Chinese so take that into consideration. 122 beef soup clear broth - This was a 5/5 - so good we got one too go. The price is good but it is a small portion with just a little meat. It's the broth that tastes so good. 111 noodles with ground pork, sprouts and cucumber 5/5 - I really liked this dish. It's like a Chinese chili on wide noodles. Addictive. Good value too. 139 beef wrap - 3/5 - This is the chinese pancake surrounding overcooked beef that you can get anywhere. Thankfully they didn't use too much cilantro like other places. It was dry. I would not order it again. Needs a sauce too. The vinegar from the table wasn't helping. 137 1000layer pancake - 3/5 This was made fresh and it's puffy! ---probably exactly what it's supposed to be. It, too, needs a special sauce. There just is no flavor by itself. Plus, I only counted 900 layers. Just kidding. I would skip next time. The service here is great. Food comes out fast.
