Having been in business for 28 years, the service and food was excellent. Friendly and personable, our server treated us as regulars. The menu contains all of our favorite dishes. We had potstickers, egg flower soup, egg roll, paper wrapped chicken, fried wonton and chicken fried rice. Shrimp and vegetables rounded out our meal. I'm pleased to say that everything was delicious! We were looking for a classic Chinese restaurant and found it. No fusion, no fast food, no cafeteria table settings, just old school classic Chinese dining. Finishing with fortune and almond cookies was the perfect ending. If you want great Chinese food actually prepared by Chinese folks look no further.

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!

Today we finally made it to have lunch here. The scallion pancakes were so flaky and crispy and well layered. It was so good as is and no need additional sauce. Their beef stew noodles got some kicks even I ordered it as less spicy. Just right amount of heat for my daughter's palette. The beef slices were so tender and just fell apart. Their Xiao Long Bao was very good. Thin skin and full of flavors. Service was all done with QR ordering and online payment via Toast. Convenient and east. Once order was confirmed, food didn't take long to show up. Definitely would come back again!

I got there close to11:40 and food was ready just before they closed. So thankful this places opened late as I have not had the time or energy to cook caring for an infant. The food was still hot when I got home and delicious. The orange chicken and beef n broccoli dishes did not come with white rice so you'll have to order that separately. They also had the option of medium or large size. I got the medium and thought it was already good portion size. I don't normally tip for to-go orders but this time I did. The food was on the saltier side which is expected since its restaurant food. I wonder if they do low sodium as an option? Next time will ask.

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.

This feedback is for the owner regarding an employee and NOT the food (which has been always good)…read more The young man at the counter, while very efficient, speaks simply way too fast when taking orders over the phone or picking up orders in person. I can barely respond in time until he speaks again or asks the question over. I asked him to slow down when picking up an order today. He said okay, but kept speaking at rapid machine gun rate. Here's the problem: He makes the customer feel rushed when there is no need. As a result, the customer interaction becomes unpleasant and even somewhat disrespectful. I know that's not his intention, but I can tell you that I would prefer to speak to another person if that option is available. I was picking up at an order around 11:30 am on Wednesday morning and there was only one another customer who was waiting for her pickup order. The restaurant was empty. The invoice number on the receipt is 60102. Thank you.

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)

I came with my American friend who considered it gourmet food, so here we are. It is not my first visit here, and probably won't be my last either. For one thing, it is really convenient. I can't remember the last time I've to wait for a table here. It has a large private/party room that can accommodate 50+ people. Service at Asia Buffet is actually quite good. 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.
