My 74 year old dad was craving some good old-school Chinese American food for his birthday. We've…read moretried so many places in south OC nothing has come close to Chinese takeout in the 90s. We've tried hole in the wall restaurants and fancy restaurants. This is what we were looking for and our search is over. This place is amazing. I placed an online order and picked it up 30 minutes later. The order: orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, garlic shrimp, chow mein, fried rice, and egg rolls. And everything was fantastic. Very kind staff and reasonably priced. The inside is cool and clean. I'm so thankful that my dad got what he wanted for his birthday and we'll definitely be back. Thank so much!

PROS: - Price was very reasonable for the volume offered during this economy. - I ordered the House Special Egg Foo Young since someone else on Yelp recommended it, and it was what surprised me. It was both visually and culinarily pleasing. This is a definite must try. - I also ordered the House Special & House Special Beef. Although the dishes weren't as visually appealing as the House Special Egg Foo Young, the taste was actually quite delicious. CONS: - Nothing really stood out on the negative side to report. - Wished that there were more eggs in the Egg Foo Young, but in this economy, it's understood that fresh eggs aren't cheap. CONCLUSION: If you've got a craving for Chinese food on a tight budget, this venue is a definite must try!

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...

The food is consistently great, the portions are huge, and the prices are very affordable. One of the main reasons we keep coming back is Leo. His service is amazing -- always friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating. He really makes the dining experience even better and makes you feel taken care of every time. The restaurant does get packed during lunch and dinner, which just shows how good the food is. If you want a more relaxed visit, I recommend going around 2 PM, which is usually when we come. Overall, great food, great service, and a place we will keep returning to.

A generic, Chinese take-out food place in a strip mall…read more Exterior: As it's based in a strip mall, there is plenty of parking in the lot (located in a near Sprout's). Interior: With a handful of tables/chairs and bar seating, it's considered small and casual. Based on the food and atmosphere, this place seems geared towards having people order to-go and delivery as you can eat their dishes family style. Food: My total take-out order came out to approximately $58 (without tip). I ordered enough for 3-4 people. It came with an extra side of rice. I would recommend getting a fried rice dish over a noodle (specifically the chow mein) dish due to taste or repetitive oily fats and heavy meat. Order variety of dishes for a better experience based on texture and savory. Ordered: Pork Chow Mein, Vegetable Fried Rice (could be better with smaller chunks of zucchini), Wonton Soup (small, tasted water down, wonton chips come separately but there's no big change in taste, the vegetable chunks doesn't blend together), and Orange Chicken (similar to other chicken with sweet and sour sauce). Overall, an average restaurant that gives you a good fix of Chinese food in the local area. The service is fast and the workers themselves are cordial and respectful. I wouldn't feel compelled to eat inside or take friends on a daily basis. Service: I was overall impressed with the fast service (my order took less than 15min to prepare for 4 dishes)

Used bowls and plates are cleaned promptly. Reasonably priced buffet is a good place for someone like my wife who doesn't eat much and enjoys variety. It's good for me in the sense that I can have what I like instead of finishing off leftovers of what she ordered. I usually start with a bowl of hot and sour soup, several types of sushi and seafood. I particularly like its seaweed salad, beef rib, button mushrooms, and vegetables. Fresh cut fruits, pastries and soft-serve ice cream are a pefect ending to a happy meal.

There is something for everyone :) They offer pizza, fries, chicken, sushi rolls and even Cajun boil! I really enjoyed all the various things that I sampled. The chow mein and fried rice was good. The egg roll wasn't my favorite but their sushi variety was great and I enjoyed it. Was thrilled to see they also have edamame. The seafood boil was probably my favorite- such a good flavor with a kick! Especially loved the corn on the cob. They also have an enormous amount of fresh fruit, cookies, pastries and even ice cream. The service is really good and they are consistently coming by to check on drinks and picking up plates. I really appreciated that. We came on a Sunday around 2pm and it was busy but we had zero wait time for a party of 7. I saw that you can reserve a table if you call ahead. Overall this is a great place if you're looking for all you can eat that tastes good and has a big selection.
