    KPB for sure is my new favorite Chinese style cuisine restaurant in my local area. Discovered it late last year on yelp around the time I moved to my place here in Santa Ana / Tustin border area. Have had it now 3 times and have been meaning to on review it. The beef and broccoli are really well portioned and they definitely deliver with the beef. Really good ratio of broccoli, carrots and beef. Standout out dish. The bbq is super good. Very flavorful. Tender and I like the cabbage it comes on top of. The orange chicken and Mongolian beef are two other popular standout dishes. Whether you're dining in or just picking up take out, you're in for a treat with this place. Its got higher quality ingredients and preparation than your average like fast food / express type Chinese joint. Also, their Thai tea is delicious. Not sure if they've always had it on the menu but I ordered it yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. Also. Big shout out to Jerry who is always super friendly and helpful. Compliments to his excellent customer service.

    Kung pao chicken
    Yukiko M.

    I visited this restaurant for the first time and was really impressed! The lunch specials ($13.99) are incredibly affordable, especially considering the current economy, and the portions are huge. Each meal comes with rice, a main dish, soup, and even two dumplings--such a great deal! There's also convenient parking right in front, which makes it super easy to stop by. I went a little after the lunch rush, so it was nice and quiet--perfect timing. Highly recommend!

    Chicken Teriyaki, Kung pao tofu, Fried Rice and Egg Flower Soup
    Jack M.

    It was just okay. The food was either burnt or just bland. The egg flower soup was very thick. The fried rice was crispy like it was cooked for too long. Other than that the service was good and it was clean inside.

    Thai tea they had on a special for $1.50, sooo good.
    Alice H.

    This place is really good & good prices. Very friendly staff, get deals. I got a Thai tea for $1.50, very tasty and good portions.

Walnut shrimp; fresh ingredients, perfect sweetness, good amount of shrimp Veg. Chow Mein; fresh ingredients, included (green onion, onion,bean sprouts, Napa cabbage, carrots, snap peas, mushrooms) serves 2 Thai Tea and Sweet Tea 10/10 everything was to go but they do have a clean establishment with seating available.

    Orange Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
    Kent D.

    Ordered a bogo deal for lunch at work and I was pleasantly surprised by the portions and quality of the food here. Everything arrived packaged nicely with utensils and condiments. The orange chicken was light, airy and crispy with just the right amount of sticky sweet sauce on a bed of rice and broccoli The teriyaki chicken was also delicious. Not too sweet and prepared perfectly. The portions were just right for lunch and I enjoyed every bite. I ordered again a few more times cuz I was a fan! Can't beat the price a deal either! Definitely a lot of bang of bang for the buck. Will definitely keep these guys on my list of go-to's for lunch! Happy Eats!

    Family Serving For 2 ppl Orange Peel Chicken Rice Bowl
    Conald P.

    Listen here Americans. That's 60$ worth of food you're looking at here!!! This place is a miss!!! I don't understand why everyone likes the orange chicken so much, it's worse than Panda Express and equal to your hole in the wall place like "the Great Wall". The flavors are ok, it's one of those orange chicken bites that are mushy, steamed, and stringy, the kind of orange chicken bite that gets stuck in your teeth because it's stringy and mushy. But yea the flavors are there but not crispy at all. The only thing worth getting is Mongolian beef or trio. Anyone who gets the orange chicken for 15$ or says it's worth it is straight lying to you, it's just as equal to any random spot like Hong Kong express... it's mushy and gets stuck in your teeth. The fried rice was just white rice with soy sauce in a rice cooker. The chow mein noodles were good. Overall, It's good! But it's not as good as Panda Express (shame) but the Mongolian beef or trio is better things I've had: -Orange chicken (mushy, stringy, stuck in teeth, no crisp, just blobs of old fried chicken bites) -King pao chicken (looks good, tastes like vegetable oil with no spice, wtf?!) -Mongolian trio (heavy on the oil and green onion) -Mongolian Beef (oil and onion flavor) -fried rice (old white rice in soy sauce with no veggies) -chow mein (oil, soy, aromatic flavor but dripping in something) -BBQ Pork (again not bad but not as good as a random spot like Hong Kong express or Great Wall) AVOID AND MY PHOTOS ARE REAL

    Chow mein, orange chicken, wonton soup, kung pow chicken. Tasted great even after a drive
    Elizabeth K.

    Tasty! Odd but cute location. Service was friendly and quick. We'll be back! Every dish was good - wonton soup, chow mein with pork, orange chicken, and Kung pow chicken. Exactly what we were looking for.

    Curry chicken family style
    Esther C.

    Don't be fooled by the word bistro. This is a solid Asian restaurant. The interior has a dark ambiance going for it. For any entree, you can make it a combo and get an eggroll and a bowl of soup. Our eggroll was pipping hot and the egg flower soup was addicting. Their family size can easily feed two and if you go throw this route, you can feed two with $20-25 which is so doable for an amazing meal. Food came out fast and the chicken was so moist - not dry at all. This place isn't busy enough. Show them some love!

    Mapo Tofu is without ground meat
    Aileen J.

    I've been here several times for lunch with Hubby or friends. We've always been seated right away, and the food is brought out quickly. The Lunch Specials are reasonably priced and the portions are good. After paying over $12 for breakfast at McDonald's this week, $13.99 for entree, soup, potstickers, and rice was more to my liking. An additional 50 cents for a can of soda was fine. Hubby's Kung Pao Chicken was tasty. I have had Mapo Tofu and Curry Chicken that I enjoyed. My friend ordered Wonton Soup, and it had plenty of goodies in a nice broth. The only thing I would change is the flimsy metal chairs. The sturdy wooden tables should have better seats. Good parking in the small shopping center. We had a pleasant server (possibly Hispanic?) last summer. I hope it was just her day off this week, because she was helpful and chatty.

    Yum Yum Yum. We tried several dishes on our recent visit. We got the Filet Mignon French Style, Eggplant, Pad Thai, Won Ton Soup,and Mongolian Trio. Everything was delicious. For a Tuesday night they had a steady flow of customers. Seating is small, but cozy. Service was great we were well taken care of. I look forward to going back.

    Ginger fish and fried rice
    Michelle I.

    I was craving Chinese for lunch and found this spot. First time, and I'll be back. I ordered the lunch special for $13.99. Ginger fish was my choice. It was served with soup, gyoza, rice, and egg roll. Food was good and service was excellent! Portions are big, so saved some for next days lunch.

The drinks were pretty cheap, I think mine was under $5 and the matcha was like $6.50.

The lamb skewers were juicy and perfectly seasoned with cumin, and the grilled beef tendon skewers had an amazing crispy, chewy texture. The soup dumplings were full of flavorful broth, and the braised beef knife-cut noodles were chewy with large, tender chunks of beef. We also tried the beef paomo for the first time--it was warm, comforting, and packed with rich flavor. The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and after chatting with the staff we learned the owner is from Xi'an, which explains how authentic everything tasted.

We ordered the dry tossed knife cut pork noodles with eggs, crispy beef and honey walnut shrimp. The noodles came out, the picture on the ordering menu shows egg, the Chinese description said with eggs, there was no eggs in our noodle? But since it's basically self service there was no server around so we figured just eat it. Oh my god, it's sooooo salty, the pork is poorly marinated with way too much salt, I had to eat a lot of noodle and some white rice to chuck it down. Then the crispy beef which a lot of people recommended, it was way overly fried, completely battered and barely any beef in there. This is worse than the noodles. We basically left the whole entire plate untouched, and not sure what we could do taking it home coz it's so bad. The only thing remotely ok is honey walnut shrimp, but given the poor quality of food, I would never be back again and do not recommend this place to anyone in Irvine.

As someone who eats out Chinese weekly, I am pretty familiar with Chinese restaurants in the vicinity. Without going into the taste of each of the dishes we tried, I will summarize by saying that the quality and authenticity were at best decent, almost panda express level, with the exception of the leek/shrimp cake which was yummy. The best Chinese in the area is still hands down Dynasty in Orange/Katella (solid 5 stars), Yang Ming Garden (solid 4.5 stars) followed by Royal Wok (solid 4 stars). China Palace was so shockingly bad when I tried it during covid that I never visited again, so no comment. Service at Mama Liu's was good and friendly, easy parking, but for the same amount of money, I'd happily drive a few miles north to Dynasty, Yang Ming and Royal Wok.
