    Scrambled eggs with soy sauce. Egg foo young lol

    Very bummed out with everything! I was really craving Chop Suey and Egg Foo Young for New Year's because it reminded me of my dad. We used to eat Chinese food together, and I thought it would be a nice way to honor those memories. Unfortunately, this experience was a huge letdown. The Egg Foo Young was more like scrambled eggs and a watery soy sauce and the Chop Suey barely had any vegetables--and the ones that were there were old, soggy, and brown. The brown sauce tasted like nothing more than soy sauce and salt, which wasn't appetizing at all. To make matters worse, I found hard pieces in the food that almost broke my tooth. The spring rolls arrived soggy but were okay after baking them to crisp them up. Overall, the quality didn't match the $80 I spent. It left me wondering if this restaurant is going out of business because the care and quality just weren't there. Next time, I'll stick with China Moon or Asian Kitchen in Laguna Niguel, they've never disappointed me.

    Mongolian beef and tangerine chicken.

    Food was fresh and hot. Service was also good. It was about 2 pm and they had other patrons. We'll probably try delivery sometime.

    Good healthy chinese food, not too oily like other places. Also like that they offer brown rice at no extra cost

    Classic Chinese Restaurant - Chicken with Mushrooms

    My parents introduced me to Classic Chinese in Laguna Hills, and we have been going for years…read morewithout issue. The new issue is that it is way too popular. Maybe we should not have told so many people about it. Getting a table used to feel easy. Now it feels like the kind of place everyone else discovered right after you did. It is great for large groups. They have a large group room, which is why this works when we are not just a couple of adults and kids. Family dinners, bigger tables, the kind of night where you order too many dishes and somehow still want one more. The food itself is pretty classic Chinese food. Not the absolute best in Orange County, nothing fancy, just solid. I would put the food around a 4 out of 5 on its own. The overall experience still lands at five for us. My kids' favorite dishes are the steamed fish and the clams. Those two are the reason they ask to come back. Steamed fish that actually tastes clean and careful, clams that feel like a treat without being precious about it. That is the lane Classic Chinese lives in. Familiar flavors, generous plates, the kind of Chinese restaurant where you already know what you are ordering before you sit down. Service is above average for a Chinese place, which matters more than people admit when you have kids and a big table. They keep things moving without making the meal feel rushed. After years of coming here, it is still our default when we want solid Chinese food that the whole family will finish, even if I am part of the reason it got too popular.

    Food was so SO good! Recently heard about this spot and had to go try it! Each dish was better…read morethan the next! Super authentic taste with quality fresh ingredients! Restaurant was super clean and service was friendly and fast! I was surprised how packed it was on a Tuesday night. But once you take your first bite, you'll see why! Best dish of the night for me was the braised tofu with mushroom in brown sauce! The tofu was so silky and comforting! We also got the whole fried fish, beef with black bean sauce, pan fried noodles, and the salt & pepper shrimp. Next time you're craving Chinese, you gotta try Classic Chinese!
