I have waited 15 minutes. I literally yelled "hello, heyy, is there someone". Nobody gave a sh!t

Its for owner or manager: Please pick the workers carefully, i waited there 15-20 mins. Even tho I kept yelling "hey, hello, heeeey". Nobody literally gave a sh!t. They were pretending not hear and continued cook smthng. I love chopsticks but I never gonna come to this spot.

I gave this place a chance and was blown away!! Delicious, fresh food. Kung Pao chicken, fried rice, white rice and spring rolls. Will be ordering delivery again. What a value!

I actually dont know why the reviews for this is so low. For 13 dollar lunch special you get hot and sour soup, an egg roll, rice kung pow chicken and a drink. This is more than you big Mac and fries and soda. The food is great. The service is fast. I can see how the ambiance is lacking and their arent an abundance of chairs but yo, 13 bucks? This place is a steal. I actually cant even finish this lunch so its almost a 6.50 lunch. What the!

Cashew Nut Chicken
Scott R.

I ordered the Cashew Nut Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice from Big Chopsticks in Mission Viejo, and overall, the food was fresh, tasty, and cooked to order -- a big plus compared to places with steam trays full of pre-cooked food. The veggies were crisp, the chicken was tender, and the sauce had great flavor. Portion sizes were generous and definitely worth the price. However, the dine-in experience leaves a lot to be desired. The location is a bit run down and feels more like a takeout spot than a place you'd want to sit and eat. Also, they're really stingy with the extras. I got one napkin, two forks, and two soy sauce packets for two entrees. A couple more napkins and soy sauce packets would've made a difference. Overall, great food, but best enjoyed at home.

Orange Chicken. Thick battered chunks of chicken and glazed in a sweet, tangy, citrusy sauce. I liked it.

DoorDashed it, so this review is only of the food. THE FOOD. - Beef Chow Fun | It reminded me of pad see ew; flat noodles with chunks of tender beef, cabbage, and onions. I wish it was a little more sweeter, but not a dealbreaker. This was still a very flavorful dish. - Vegetarian Egg Roll | A mix of stir-fried vegetables wrapped and fried until golden brown. Delicious. - Beef Broccoli | Tender beef and crunchy broccoli. Great flavors and generous portion size! - Orange Chicken | Thick battered chunks of chicken and glazed in a sweet, tangy, citrusy sauce. I liked it. THE RETURN? Yes, I'd come back for more beef broccoli as I have cravings for this every so often.

Supposed to be Orange Chicken

It is clean, the staff is so friendly, they are efficient and the food was so good and fresh. Parking was easy and it was easy to find in the center. Yellow Curry, Eggrolls, Vegetable Tempura are all amazing! Order the salad that comes with the lunch with peanut sauce. YUM!

As a professional dating coach and a full‑time food lover, I take my restaurant scouting very…read moreseriously. My job is to help you avoid the tragic first‑date mistakes I've already made, like the overpriced spots, the bland dishes, the "why is this chair attacking my spine?" seating. I've wasted the time, energy and money on the other loser spots so you don't have to. But when I find a place that's clean, visually appealing, thoughtfully designed, and serving food that's actually seasoned, cooked well, and plated with pride? Oh, I'm shouting it from the rooftops. So let me put you on to my latest discovery: DIHO SIAM, right in the heart of Ladera Ranch. If you've followed me on Yelp for a while, you already know I'm a lifelong Thai‑food fanatic. I've been loyal to Thai cuisine longer than some people stay loyal in relationships. Since I wasn't trying to overeat, I ordered an appetizer, and let me tell you, this "appetizer" came out looking like a BIG FULL-GROWN lunch. I'm not a big white‑meat gal, so I asked if they had anything with dark meat. I ended up with chicken wings and drumsticks in a sweet‑and‑sour sauce. The moment I cut into that chicken? I ascended. The breading had that perfect balance...not too salty, not too bland...crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. I'm not saying I had a foodie‑induced spiritual experience, but if I did, nobody needed to know. One look at the rest of the menu and I knew I'd be back. Yes, I will absolutely make the 45‑minute drive to try their lunch dishes. It's worth it. And the prices? Shockingly reasonable considering the economy is basically held together with duct tape and vibes. Now, my one note for the owners: please, for the love of all things holy and iced... offer a dairy‑free Thai iced tea option. It was 94° today, and I was ready to down two giant glasses, but they only use half‑and‑half. This is California. We are oat‑milk, soy‑milk, almond‑milk, "I'm‑on‑Ozempic‑don't‑judge‑me" people. Give the people what they want. Add oat milk to the menu, put a cute little 4x5 flyer in a clear acrylic stand on each table announcing your new dairy‑free Thai iced tea, and watch customers flock to it. And just to close this out on a high note: I'm 100% coming back to Diho Siam. There are way too many dishes on that menu calling my name, and I fully intend to answer. Consider this my official teaser...I'll be updating my Yelp Elite Squad review after my next visit, and trust me, people wait for those updates like they wait for a second date after a great first one. I might even give you an extra star and make it a Five-Star review! Wink! wink! Stay tuned, because this place has officially earned a spot on my "must‑return" list. And don't forget to give me a thumbs up or a heart if you like my reviews and follow me!

Food 5/5: We came for dinner as a family of 5 and may have over ordered!

Shanghai style smoked fish ($16.5) - This fish isn't smoked, rather it's deep fried twice creating an extremely crispy exterior and is dipped in a sweet soy sauce. It's a unique tasting appetizer, perfect for sharing. Sauteed string beans with garlic ($13.5) - These beans had a slight crunch and are a great veggie option. Steamed fish and shrimp dumplings ($14.50 - 8 pieces) - This is a good option if one is looking to get their dumpling fix. Steamed veggie dumplings ($14.50 - 8 pieces) - This is another good dumpling option that tastes great. However the dumplings aren't that filling themselves. Braised beef shank noodle soup ($16.50) - Made with braised beef, pickles, cilantro, bok choy, green onions, noodles and a savory and spicy beef spot, this dish is perfect for a cold day. Crispy beef rolls ($15 - 6 pieces) - This consisted of tender beef, cucumbers, scallions, and a savory sauce all rolled in a crispy and flaky scallion pancake. It's one of my favorite items here. Kung pao chicken ($16) - This stir fried dish is prepared with tender chicken, peanuts, and spices and is my favorite dish here. Sweet and sour chicken ($16) - I was impressed with the quantity of chicken in this dish. It was perfectly prepared with a crispy batter and a tangy and sweet sauce that really hit the spot! Pineapple beef ($16) - This consisted of tender and thin pieces of beef stir fried with some pineapple and is another solid dish to get here. Chocolate mochi xiao long bao ($11 - 5 pieces) - These chewy dumplings had a wonderful chocolate filling. Rose flavored red bean buns ($14 for 3) - I felt these were pricey but they had a good amount of filling and the bao bun was soft and fluffy. Golden egg custard buns ($13.5 for 3) - These are similar to the red bean buns, except the inside has egg custard. I really wish they doubled or tripled the custard, because the amount they give is miniscule, and it's for that reason I would pass on these. Overall I'm impressed with many of the items here and the pricing is reasonable. Even though I've tried so many dishes here, I wish they had even more offerings that didn't have pork. I'll definitely be back.

I had the most amazing time at this restaurant! The restaurant was pretty packed but got seated immediately. I was craving dumplings and their dumplings were amazing and juicy but the stand out for me was the beef noodle soup! It had the best textured noodles that I've had for some time and really tender beef slices. It was perfect with the chili oil that they had on the table. I loved that they have frozen dumplings that you can take home and I will definitely plan for that next time.

Ok for small orders of dumplings. I recommend going for the pan-fried dumplings…read more Because they used the same seasoned meat filling across most of their popular dishes (XLB, pan-fried gyoza, wonton, shumai)...the variation between these dishes is minimal and your palate will be numbed by the copy-and-paste flavors. They all start to taste the same. Quite disappointed at the dumpling wrapper / skin... which is as important as the filling. They over steamed / cooked the shumai, XLB, and wonton so the dumpling skins were too soft, almost mushy. Maybe some people prefer this texture? Smashed cucumber has large portion, flavor is quite light compared to Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty versions. Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty are more expensive, but their quality and flavor are better so I would still go there for my dimpling cravings. Staff is friendly. Maybe try other dishes besides dumplings...

I ordered the popcorn chicken, eggplant, pork ribs, and beef roll. All I have to say is wow, what a difference from when we were dining in. The portion sizes are pretty much cut in half.

Absolutely delicious! Definitely the best dumplings I've had outside of Irvine…read more Service was quick, and the inside was clean and chill. Everything came out piping hot and fresh with good flavors. Perfect spice level, just enough to be noticeable but not overpowering. We had the chashu buns, which were fluffy, soft, sweet, and steamy, exactly what you want to finish off a meal. The Dan Dan noodles were solid but not the best I've had, I preferred the homemade noodles with peanut sauce which were scrumptious. Soft chewy noodles with a light peanut sauce and crunchy cucumbers. The xiao long bao had perfect thin dough with a good pork flavor inside, I was very impressed and felt they could handle their own alongside din tai fung. I've had bad luck at other dumpling places around OC with the spicy chili wontons, but these were aMAZing and a little addicting. Perfect bite size and spice. We polished our plates and felt far too full but it was worth it, I highly recommend!

Tucked into the Los Olivos Marketplace, the inside is super modern and clean, making it a comfortable, nice spot to sit down. It's also super convenient that you can just order via the QR code right from your phone or wave down a waiter if you prefer. The food hits all the classic Sichuan cravings and comes out quick. The Laziji (Spicy Fried Chicken) is piled high with dried chilies and has that perfect, addictive crispy crunch. Another massive standout is the Stir-Fried Cilantro Beef--the meat is incredibly tender and tossed with a ton of fresh cilantro and green peppers for a great, fresh kick. If you want a dry pot, the Dry Pot Chicken Wings are awesome. The wings are perfectly seasoned and come tossed with lotus root and crinkle-cut potatoes that soak up all the savory, numbing spices. It's a little pricier than your average strip-mall spot, but the ingredient quality, bold flavors, and clean environment completely justify it. Definitely a go-to when you want authentic Sichuan food in a nicer setting.
