Even though there's absolutely no shortage of trendy and popular eateries in Irvine (and OC…read moreat-large), there was something about Tai Chi Cuisine that just called out to us. In part because it reminded me of so many of the eateries I come across in in the Bay Area, but also because we love places like this. Of course, it didn't hurt that the photos of their Braised Pork Rice Bowl looked so good on Yelp! Inside, the restaurant doesn't look all that special, but I love how relatively new and clean everything felt. What's more, even though we saw a steady stream of folks walk in ahead of us both times we came here, we've never had to wait for a table, as they have a good amount of seating to offer. As for the menu, it's on the simple side, but there's a good mix of dishes and options to choose from - breakfast options, buns, dumplings/wonton, appetizers, soups, noodle soups, dry noodle dishes, rice bowls, cold dishes, stir-fried dishes, and a bunch of Sichuan-Hunan specialties. They also might have a hot pot offering as well, but we didn't see it/try it since we were here for a late breakfast. -- SOY TOFU PUDDING This looked terrific when it came out, but it tasted more solid than spectacular. Although the portion size was great and the tofu part was good, I wish there was more meat in this and it had a stronger savory element. -- CHINESE CURELLER/DONUT To be honest, this looked almost artificial when it first came out, but it was actually great. The donut was a nice, golden brown, the dough wasn't dense, and the texture was great - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Plus, it wasn't the least bit oily! -- CHINESE SAVORY CREPE Pretty solid overall. Although a few of the slices of beef were a touch dry, they tasted great and were complemented well by the eggs, hoisin sauce, and the seasoning on it. Plus, the crepe had a nice texture to it - crisp with a slight chew. -- FRIED PORK BUN Ehh...these were fine, I guess. Sadly, the bottoms looked more burnt than browned and the buns themselves felt a little bready. Still, I liked how soft they were and the filling had a nice bit of porkiness. -- WONTONS IN CHICKEN SOUP While it may not be an exciting dish, this was actually my favorite thing here. There was a generous amount of wontons, which were juicy and had a lot of shrimp in it, and the soup was so warm and comforting. -- PORK & SHRIMP DUMPLINGS Pretty standard, but not necessarily in a bad way - it tasted the way it should. Every dumpling was plump and I liked that the skins weren't very thick. As for the filling, it could've been juicier, but it was largely fine otherwise. -- BRAISED PORK RICE BOWL Just like most of the dishes we've tried, this wasn't bad, but it amaze like we hoped it would. At a glance, this looked great and came with a lot of braised pork. That being said, most of the chunks were super fatty and I wish there had been more of the sauce. Based purely on the food, Tai Chi Cuisine is decent enough of a spot, but it's hard to look past the service issues we've had. The first time we stopped in, the servers were efficient, but we have had to ask multiple times for things that don't always get delivered. For example, during our most recent visit, they never gave us the white pepper we asked for nor the Stir Fried String Beans we had ordered. Thankfully, we didn't have any problems getting the latter taken off our bill, but it was ironic that the one who did it for us at the register was also the one who told us twice that she would come back with our dish. All in all, I can certainly see why folks might like some of the dishes we had, but I can't say that anything that we tried really set itself apart from what you can find elsewhere. As such, THREE AND A HALF STARS for the food feels about right, but easily rounded down for the service.

This is a great place to study a very rich array of Chinese martial arts that all come together…read moreunder the Lau Kune Do umbrella: hard and soft, linear and circular, martial and holistic. These forms have been synthesized together by Sifu Richard Tsim, a 1st generation Chinese American teacher who has studied martial arts since he was very young. On the kung fu side, it's a mix of Hung Gar, Wing Chun and northern Shaolin styles. The Tai Chi is most similar to Wu style, and leads into circular Ba Gua forms. Tai Chi classes also include Qi Gong exercises. The facilities include an indoor and outdoor workout area which are inspiring both to look at and to practice in. Classes are held seven days a week, mornings every day and evenings on weekdays. Students can choose to attend just kung fu or just tai chi classes, but most students do a blend of both. Most of the students here are adults, but there is also now a Youth class for tweens and teens. Very young children would probably not work out well, but a focused 9-15 year old would be right at home. The instructors for that section are especially patient and knowledgeable as martial arts instructors go. You couldn't ask for a better scenario for a young learner.

"Lau Kune Do Temple of Martial Arts" caught my eye while I was riding my bike, trying to survive being stranded for months in LA due to Covid-19. The beautiful building, resembling an Asian Sanctuary, caught my eye and I was lucky to be able to meet and begin training with Sifu Tsim. Having studied Tai Chi since the 70's, in 4 countries, with 7 instructors, I feel confident in recommending Sifu Tsim's Lau Kune Do as "The Real Thing"...this is a purest and simplified approach to internal development and peace in life which, if you are willing to put in the work, will provide you with a reason to smile and stay strong, balanced, and kind every day. If you want to learn how to beat people up, this probably isn't the right place. If you want to master yourself and find balance in your life, it is the right place. Sifu Tsim and his capable instructor staff foster a nurturing environment of kindred spirits and dedicated practitioners of the right way to learn and practice martial arts for optimal health, peace of mind, and happiness. If you are accepted as a student, you will be very lucky.
