Been to this place many times through the years. It's a place that you can get your Chinese food fix. The serving size is pretty decent and good for sharing. Big selection of entrees. The congee, noodles, rice plates, and clay rice outs are always good choices. Place needs a little updating but good value

A year later and we're back for Chinese New year lunch this time. The service was much better this time. There's only one lady. She is always there. She is not the nicest or the friendliest. She was more accommodating to our party of 14 than she was last year. When we asked for something she brought it. One thing, she can only split the check 2 ways. Oh well. The food this time was better. The serving sizes were big and the prices were reasonable. Hence the 4 star. My favorite dish was the fish porridge. I also liked the fish in black bean sauce. The XO beef was always a favorite of mine. I would skip the Kung pao chicken.

This place is disgustingly filthy. The service is horrible. The restaurant looked like this while the server sat in the dining area

Chinese Pancake with Scallion
Steph Q.

Celebrated my mom's birthday a few weeks ago and her one request was Hong Kong Style crispy noodles. Tai Pan House was one of the only places that distinctly came up on the Yelp search with this style of noodles, so we took a chance and ordered our dinner from here for take out. They did not disappoint. The food was good, especially the crispy noodles, and the service was friendly. They made a strong first impression. Tai Pan House is located in a small shopping center off of Archibald Avenue. The restaurant occupies its own building within the center but shares plenty of free parking with the other businesses. As noted above, we ordered our food for takeout. We called the order in and the time they estimated for pickup was reasonable and accurate. Our food was ready upon our arrival. Although we took the order to go, the food remained warm despite the drive home. Our order consisted of - Chinese Pancake with Scallion - Orange Chicken - Honey Walnut Shrimp - House Special Hong Kong Style Chow Mein - Shrimp Fried Rice Although we ordered takeout, the portions for the dishes were very generous. The price point for the meal was also very reasonable. Our favorite items were the Honey Walnut Shrimp and Hong Kong Style Chow Mein. Both were tasty and very fresh. The Chinese Pancake with Scallion was good, but very greasy. We would steer clear of this item in the future. The Orange Chicken was plentiful, but several pieces tasted like they have been prepared from earlier in the day. Overall, we did enjoy our meal from Tai Pan House and would visit them again if we were in the area or if we had a craving for their Hong Kong Style Noodles. Definitely, a solid option for authentic Chinese food in the area.

Some sort of shrimp egg flour soup with zero salt or seasoning.

Are you kidding me? I was CRAVING some Chow Fun and ordered it with beef. I don't know if the woman who took my order was confused but it should be pretty cut and dry of what basic Beef Chow Fun is. She told me the extra container is what you pour over the noodle. I was like...what? Usually you don't have a separate container to mix in the noodles. I thought it was some new thing they had going, but I was tired and just wanted to get home. So anyway I get home and I open it up to find PLAIN noodles with NO BEEF, and no seasoning! Then there is a container of Egg Flower Soup with Shrimp. The person I wanted to share it with has a seafood allergy! What a fail! I feel like they just slapped something together and brought it out because they didn't know what beef chow fun meant. It's literally on the menu. How do they not know what's on their own menu? Unless I just got someone else's order, but she told me that I poured what's in the container over the noodles so it had to have been mine. I spent $18 on this and I feel completely cheated. Look at the photos I took of it. She wanted me to pour egg flower soup over plain noodles and said that this is the chow fun?

I love the food variety there - it's authentic Chinese cuisine, mouthwateringly tasty and delicious. But keep your guard up; those clumsy cooks can screw up and leave bits of steel cleaning pads in your meal. It's not on purpose, but damn, watch what you're shoving down your throat.

Frogs legs
Kevin B.

I ordered the frog legs and shrimp fired rice. I've eaten frog legs all over the country, and these were by far the biggest and most flavored Ive had to date. Highly recommend this place if you looking for them. They were a little pricey compared to the other places I've went to but the size of the dish explains the price. Customer service could use some improvements. I waited at the front for my order to be taken for about 5 mins before even being acknowledged, but I will give them the benefit of doubt that they were busy.

Look, this place isn't an elegant affair and you'll probably be sitting next to a bunch of stacked boxes and chairs, but if it's beef noodles you're after, this is it. If you're looking for steamed fish or eggplant, there are 7 other places next door to it that will probably do it better, but this isn't Cup Eggplant and Fish Shop. The service is decent and I can appreciate that they even have a children's noodle bowl. The prices were decent, we got to take a rainbow boba on the way out, and you can even buy the cups. Also the 99 Ranch is right there which makes it super convenient to do your shopping before or after.

Luckily, the chili oil on the side came to the rescue! It adds an extra kick along with a lovely smokiness and nutty sesame aroma. Both dishes were fragrant and savory, with nicely chewy noodles and wontons filled with well-seasoned goodness. My only personal tweak would be a splash of vinegar to brighten everything up and cut through some of that savory richness. A little tang goes a long way! Good flavors, satisfying textures, and next time I'm turning up the heat as well as trying out other dishes

I was surprised because there was only one couple in the restaurant besides us and they had already received their food. They could have been busy with online orders, but I still felt like it was slow service for being nearly empty inside. They have a self serve sauce bar. It just has soy, soy mixed sauce, chili oil, and black vinegar. I ordered the Wide Hand Pulled Noodles, Green and Onion Pot Stickers, and the Beef Rolls. Wide Hand Pulled noodles were ok. Honestly not much to brag about. I thought the noodles were cooked well but the flavor didn't really stand out to me. I believe it's served with chili oil, a mound of minced garlic and some vegetables. Outside of those ingredients I thought it needed more flavor or substance. The beef rolls were ok to me as well. I liked how crispy the roll was and size. Good portions of sliced beef served with cilantro. It was refreshing but the meat was generally cold with some warmness provided by the roll. But that quickly faded. Would prefer it to be warmer. The highlight was the pot stickers. Beef and onion were good. Really enjoyed the presentation of the dish. The edges of the pot sticker were really thick. Almost chip like. I enjoyed it as much as the dish itself. Would get it again. Overall I thought the food was ok. I'm sure there are better highlight dishes than what I ordered but they weren't selected this go around. Also the prices are a little higher than most dumpling spots so I just expected more.

The extensive menu and restaurant atmosphere is authentic Vietnamese and very comforting. The bone soup arrived steaming hot. Two large bowls each with two large beef knuckles simmered for at least 12 hours. They were delicious. Neither my wife or I could finish so we took left overs home for lunch the next day. The 160 mile round trip is quite long so we wrap it up with a short visit to Yamava casino.
