    Rainbow Roll $15
    Arshad H.

    Tian Tian Eatery is an Asian restaurant that offers Chinese, Japanese, and Thai dishes. It's a casual place with about 10 tables. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They also offer lunch and dinner bento box specials. Rainbow roll ($15) - This was basically a California roll topped with salmon, tuna, and avocado. Unfortunately the quality of the fish was the type one finds at the grocery store. It wasn't very fesh. Red curry chicken ($15) - This had strong coconut flavors and was just ok taste wise. Nothing really stood out. Beef broccoli ($15) - The beef was tender, but it was just average taste wise. I've had better elsewhere. Cumin chicken ($15) - This stir fried chicken dish had onions, bell peppers, and great cumin flavoring. It was my favorite dish of the meal. Overall, I think the restaurant should stick to one type of Asian cuisine so they can make deliver better products. Service was on point, but I doubt I would visit again.

    Lunch Bento Boxes - General Tso's chicken (top) and orange chicken (bottom)

    Someone recommended this place as a great Chinese lunch spot, so off I went to check it out! They're located in Ladera Ranch in a medium-sized shopping plaza, across from condos and Montessori. There's a decent amount of parking spaces, but I can see how it would get filled quickly during busy hours. It's a somewhat small restaurant with several chairs around a bar area, and several tables to sit and eat. I ordered my food online, and it was ready in less than 30 min. I was happy to see that they offer Lunch Bentos for $14.99. You can select 2 items from a list of 14 choices. It also comes with rice. I ordered the orange chicken and General Tso's chicken. Both items were very flavorful, however they tasted too much alike. Next time I won't order 2 chicken dishes at the same time. What I loved most about the Lunch Bentos is that you can order them gluten free for $2 extra, which is what I did. I couldn't tell that it was GF as it tasted just like the regular thing, but they probably swapped out the wheat flour in the batter for GF flour, and probably used GF soy sauce in the orange sauce. That's just my guess. I will definitely return to try other items! Very excited that there's a tasty Chinese eatery in the area.

    This is the second time that we tried this place, the first one is during the soft opening it was bad but since it's their soft opening I gave it another try and wow it's still bad. The wait is always so long even for pick up order which I ordered AHEAD OF TIME, the taste for the price is just okay. Second time is enough, I wouldn't come back.

    Chili Oil Wontons(8)
    Katie K.

    Clean friendly place. Small business, husband & wife run. Husband & I opted for dine in but is take out friendly too! Everything is so flavorful but the chili oil wontons have to be my favorite! Got the chili oil wontons, sweet & sour soup, vegetable lo mein, and of course orange chicken. Got 2 fried rolls, not my favorite personally but the owner did come up and ask if we were sureee if we wanted 2 fried ones. I'll definitely try a fresh one next time. SUPPORT LOCAL & COME TO TIAN TIAN!

    This is a super nice couple that make some really nice Chinese/Japanese food. It can be a little hard to find, as it's blended in with a bunch of medical business. Their prices are very reasonable with many varieties to choose from. I recommend the tempura, orange chicken and the Mongolian beef. Very quiet here If you're in the area...go check them out!!

    Hospitality is amazing!! The owners always greet you with a smile. They make you feel as if you are eating in their home. The food is cones to the table promptly and is always delicious. Cute inside to the restaurant with parking right out front. Can't say enough positive things about the establishment. You will love everything about it - my granddaughter is celiac, and they are always able to accommodate her dietary needs! Which is a big plus in our book!

    So, we initially went to Franco's to celebrate a great appraisal inspection but found it wasn't open for another hour. Remembered that this place, Tian Tian had great reviews so we opted to check this establishment out for late lunch. Easy to find, inside was clean, bright, and organized. Owner Teri, greeted us right away with a smile as we sat at a booth/table. We ordered boba drinks and appetizer (calamari). The drinks and appetizer was good. Our entrees were: Chicken Lo Mien, Combo Tian Tian Fried Rice, Miso Soup, Orange Chicken, and Beef Broccoli. All I all, very tasty, serving sizes was good for 4 people and had enough to have left overs to take home. Teri was so friendly and made small talk with us and made us feel welcomed. My only wish is if they could move closer to the main hub of the Mercantile East area on Antonio Pkwy and Crown Valley. This is truly a gem and hope more folks give them a chance and support their family-owned business. If you're craving Panda, stop and get your fix at Tian Tian. You won't be disappointed!

    Cucumber salad
    Erandi W.

    I tried this place after reading reviews on Yelp, and also liked the idea of an Asian fusion, but I thought it was just okay. I got the lunch bento box and the portions were small for the price. Seemed odd to me how it was plated too. The food also was okay. The Kung Pao chicken didn't have a lot of veggies which usually it does and the flavor was alright. The CA roll was okay as well. The cucumber salad, which was an appetizer was a good size portion compared to the bento box, which is interesting. The taste was good, more vinegar-based. All in all, as said, it was okay but the bento box was not worth the price for what you get.

    Thai Spicy Chicken was made with white meat, and despite that not being my favorite, it wasn't dry at all.

    Tian Tian Eatery is a wonderful find. This husband and wife team from Hunan, China clearly puts heart and skill into their cooking. I stopped in for lunch and was genuinely impressed. The hot & sour soup was perfectly balanced, comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The Thai spicy chicken had just the right amount of heat, great depth of flavor, and was cooked beautifully. Portions were satisfying, and the prices are very reasonable for the area. Service was pleasant and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. It was an easy, relaxed, great lunch, and I'll definitely be back. Now the only question is, what do I try next time? Maybe a Hunan classic like cumin beef, spicy beef and scallop, or one of their sushi dishes. Whatever it is, I'm confident it'll be delicious. Interior is modern and clean, the owners were constantly sweeping the floor and making sure everything was tidy. Highly recommend supporting this local spot!

    Totally original Mango Tango and Crunchy 2 in 1 Rolls ~ DELICIOUS!!
    Michael H.

    THE MOST ORIGINAL, DELICIOUS AND AMAZING ASSORTMENT OF ASIAN THEMED DISHES THAT I HAVE EVER DISCOVERED!! Each of the items I tried were original and incredibly tasty creations that I've NEVER found ANYWHERE!!!! From the complimentary Cabbage Salad (think heat, vinegar and sesame) to the original Crunchy 2 in 1 Roll ~ to the phenomenal Mango Tango Roll ~ each was unlike anything I have ever found anywhere. Definitely a 12 on a Scale of 10. The outstanding service matched or exceeded the exceptional food in this brightly utilitarian establishment. I can't wait to explore the rest of their options - and look forward to the Peony Pad Thai, their riff on one of the most popular (Chinese version) dishes featured in their sister restaurant outside of Columbus Ohio. SO HAPPY I DISCOVERED Tian Tian!!

    Complimentary cabbage salad
    Bonnie S.

    Good find in Ladera Ranch area. Needed to grab lunch for in between basketball games just up the street. We ordered the ZHa jiang, dan dan and a wonton soup. My son loved the flavor of the Zha jiang and my husband loved the dan dan, only complaint was the noodles did not seem authentic. The wonton soup was simple and filling would order again. They give you a complimentary cabbage salad that had such good flavor, I am still thinking about it and would go back just for that LOL. Service was stand out, the lady working was just so sweet and accomadating. There is a lot of seating inside and outside. The restaurant and restrooms were clean.

    My new favorite Asian restaurant in south OC! It was a cold night and didn't feel like cooking so I treated myself to take out. There's convenient parking right in front of the restaurant and you feel like you're in Asia as soon as you step in. It feels like modern Manila or Taipei. The owner was very sweet and gave a good recommendation for Kung Pao chicken so I decided to try it. I also order the chicken fried rice. It didn't take long at all to receive my food. When I got home I pleasantly surprised. The Kung Pao was so dang good I had to stop myself over eating. The chicken fried rice was equally addictive. The chicken was fresh and well seasoned. The veggies were crunchy and the rice was soothing. I'm ruined I can't go back to Panda Express. Thank you Tian Tian for giving the Ladera/Rancho Mission Viejo area some flavor!!!

And Adrian has always been incredibly accommodating, somehow making magic happen every time. When my aunt came to town--the same aunt who introduced me to sushi at age 13 in Seattle--I finally had the perfect excuse to book Taikun. After all, I had to show my appreciation to the woman who opened my palate to the wonders of sushi. And at long last, I got to experience it for myself. Adrian, Chef Yasu, and the entire Taikun omakase completely blew me away. Sixteen courses, each one thoughtful, seasonal, and absolutely delicious, made for an unforgettable evening. I even tried rare fish I've never seen anywhere else. Adrian introduced every course with the story behind it--seasonality, origins, ingredients--and even shared photos of the fish to give more context. It truly elevated the entire experience. Don't even get me started on the intimate setting of the experience. It only seats 9 people max which makes it incredibly personal and hands on. You sit right in front of the chef, and he's so nice you feel totally comfortable asking him anything.

That said, I'm not complaining: as a sushi spot in America that caters to Western tastes, this place hits. Some of my favorite rolls are the Bella, the Mission Viejo, and the Seared Tuna roll. One minor area for improvement is to-go orders. They seem to get very busy, and there could be better predictability around wait times. The order processing for peak hours (6pm on a Saturday) was about an hour, but on my most recent visit, my pickup order was delayed by about 30 minutes, pushing it to 90 minutes. It was frustrating for me, but I think it can be even more frustrating for Door Dash drivers since they're paid per delivery and long, unexpected waits can throw off their entire queue and earnings for the night. I do want to commend their customer service, though. They have always been great dining in, but this time, they could tell people were frustrated and genuinely tried to reshuffle orders and adjust priorities. Overall, improving order flow and wait-time forecasting would make a noticeable difference!
