    I've had appetizers bigger than this. Portion size was shockingly small for the price. Photo says it all.

    Braised port with side of rice
    Julia C.

    Very cute local family-owned Chinese restaurant, I recommend giving it a try! Came here on a random Sunday afternoon with my mom after running errands closeby. The restaurant was not ever busy, and the service was very quick. We ordered the braised pork and the claypot eggplant. The food was packed with flavor; I recommend ordering a side of rice with all the dishes, without rice, the food is on the salty side. My mom absolutely enjoyed the eggplant (but I must warn that it is a bit spicy). In terms of value, the price was pretty comparable to other Chinese restaurants in the area. Portion size was smaller than i expected but 2 dishes was just enough for my mom and I.

    Classic hunan food. My family has been coming here for at least 8 years I think, ever since we moved from China. The inside is not very fancy but food always hits. Really recommend if you like spicy food!! Food comes out fast and always friendly service.

    This was a good home-style Chinese place that had a nice mix of spicy and flavor dishes. I went with a friend from Hunan and they thought it was pretty authentic other than needing to use Mexican peppers as you can't easily import the right ones. It wasn't Sichuan numbing spicy and the food came out with a nice base spice level which you can amplify by eating the peppers like I like, or leaving them on your plate like my friend! Most of the meat options are fish or pork with minimal chicken or beef (but there are a couple) If you are looking for casual Chinese to share with friends or family, this is a nice quick stop!

    One of the best Hunan places in Irvine in my opinion for Chinese food. There is plenty of seating and the lot usually has parking. The only thing is sometimes they run out of ingredients and they won't have certain dishes. The hand pulled chicken is one of my favorites, it is a bit spicy but just get some rice with it. Sunright is right next to the restaurant too, and they allow outside drinks. The cauliflower dish is also really good.

    Horrible experience here. The young man who was our server was awful and seemed to hate his job, life, and everything, and projecting that onto us. We usually order takeout but decided to dine in today and we won't be back. We can't read or speak Chinese so we rely on the english section of the menu and ordered the "fried spicy intestine" and when it came out it was not fried. We showed him a photo of what we expected on yelp and he said that was actually the "spicy broth" and the english translation of the menu is wrong. Um... then fix it? How is the deep fried intestine called spicy broth?? Service was nonexistent. When we came into the restaurant we were the only customers there. We ordered soup and they didn't give us spoons and not once did they ask us how the food was. Try Kuan Zhai Alley near Spectrum. So much better.

    Hunan fish fillet

    I feel like I been scammed, ordered the Hunan fish fillet to go and this is the portion I got, called the restaurant and they said this is the normal portion, $18 for this?! Never going again

    Fish fillet with Sauerkraut
    Angela C.

    I was on the way home and wanted green veggies and found this place. I think I got A-choy and it satisfied my craving and tasted fine, not as garlicky as I wanted but it was fine. I needed some proteins, so I got the fish fillet with sauerkraut, and it was also ok, not the best, not the worst but good enough, it had some kick to it. I asked for a recommendation on the third dish and the person suggested chicken, but I don't recall the actual description and just accepted it, it wasn't what I was expecting, it was good but if I knew what it was, I wouldn't have ordered it. It was chicken with bones and the bones were brittle so you had to be really careful. It was soupy and very spicy, in the numb your mouth type of spicy. The chicken was dry so it was good it was soupy so I could dip it with each bite. The place was a bit rundown and outdated. When I sat down to wait for my order (which took almost 30 minutes) it was a bit sticky. Maybe I got there close to closing time because there were workers in uniform having dinner, and then other workers at another table peeling vegetables. It seemed a bit weird. For whatever reason it took several minutes of me trying to catch their attention to take my takeout order even though they did greet me and knew I was there. I even closed the menu, universal sign of I've looked and made my decision. Everything was ok but I probably wouldn't return unless I was in the area and craving a leafy green vegetable again.

    We checked in on the way to LAR airport. It was an early dinner visit, so pretty quiet, only two tables including us. Not sure if because we didn't have any expectation, or just because we were hungry, we feel the food here is above average among other Chinese restaurant.

    Soup
    Emily C.

    My family and I came on Saturday at 5:30, and there was no wait at all. It was actually dead empty... so that should have warned us. The service fine, the decor was fine, everything was just fine. Parking is free and shared in a lot. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and nothing was great, just ok. The fried eggplant was probably my favorite but it was in a puddle of oil. Both the mapu tofu and salted egg tofu were bland and lackluster. Pork belly was tender. I liked the soup since the pork knuckle was soft and fatty. The fish scared everyone with its red dye. The sauce was neon red and tasted super artificial. We just poked at it and nibbled some pieces to try. The duck was so dark and so spicy. I can't even pinpoint what flavor the duck was because it was so spicy that my tongue went numb lol. I like spicy food but this had a bitter tart flavor that I didn't quite enjoy. Veggies were pretty ok, plain, and simple. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone or ever go again. This is sad chinese food with dull flavors, lots of oil, and red 40 dye.

    This is the dish made by the merchant
    Slisa J.

    The food was like leftovers. I called the store to give feedback, but the lady who answered the phone was rude and unreasonable. She refused to solve the problem and said that their food was like that. The food and service of this store are really surprising. I advise everyone not to go to this store again.

    Salted peanuts IG: @bobabitchess
    Audrey F.

    While the menu isn't large here, especially when compared to other Chinese restaurants like Tasty Garden and Tasty Noodle House, everything I tried here was good. I got the: salted peanuts, twice cooked pork with garlic stems, bean curd and vegetable soup, and cauliflower with pork dry pot. The pork in both dishes was thinly cut, juicy, and tender, the cauliflower was crispy and not too spicy, and the soup was surprisingly good despite its bland appearance. Service was ok here. You do need to ask for some dishes and for the check but the waiter got them to us fairly quick after asking. Tables are spaced out so you feel like you've got plenty of room.

    The flavors were a bit lack luster. A lot of food pics on Yelp is outdated as the restaurant don't carry these items anymore.

Luckily our friend had put our name down quickly and we were seated upon the rest of our party's arrival within 15 ish minutes. Now that I've tried the food, felt the service, and enjoyed our meal, I can see why it has a line and a high star rating! The service: super friends and accommodating! The place itself is a small/medium size with lots of tables for seating multiple small/medium sizes of parties. We were a party of 5 (4 adults, one baby/toddler with a high chair). I loved how they accommodated my child with their children's menu in addition to providing us with scissors to cut up noodles. Upon stating our allergies, they helped us with food suggestions and limitations. It's honestly the little things that go above and beyond, as well as their friendly service. They weren't overtly checking up on us, and had just the right amount of interaction and help. Food: 3 of us got the beef belly pho and one got the beef rib, my son got a kids mean. Upon receiving our bowls you'd think by looking at the clarity of the broth that it wouldn't be super flavorful, but it absolutely was. It's not overpowering, but the right amount of savory with a hint of sweetness from the added o green onions. Each pho came with the garnishes of basil, lime, and bean sprouts as normal. We did have to ask for small side plates For those who wanted hoisin and sriracha on the side, but not a big deal and quick to get. I'm also a huge fan of the lychee lemonade at vox, which they had here. Not refillable, but still loved it! My son got their chicken nuggets with fries since the pho broth had some sesame oil which he's allergic to, but he loved it. It came in the cutest kid "happy meal" type of box and we used the scissors given to cut the nuggets and a few "washed" noodles. Overall, would love to come again for a great bowl of pho if the wait isn't too long!

It still had plenty of flavor with just the right amount of heat, and the beef was so tender. Staff helped cut the ribs so it's easier to eat. I also ordered their steamed pork dumplings, which was a hit! The dumpling wrapper had the perfect texture - it held all of the flavorful filling together while remaining not too thick. The spicy cold noodles was refreshing, but I may skip this one next time. Definitely the star of the show was the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Rib!

The natural sweetness of the onions balanced the savory, salty sauce nicely.

This isn't the place for trendy fusion dishes or flashy presentation; it's all about hearty Korean comfort food that feels especially satisfying on a cold day. My go-to Korean dishes are Yukgaejang and Bossam. The spicy beef soup is usually my benchmark for any Korean restaurant. Tang 190's version delivered everything I look for: a rich, deeply flavored broth with a satisfying level of spice and plenty of tender beef throughout. It's the kind of soup that keeps me coming back. This last visit, I finally got to try their pork and kimchi platter. The pork itself was tender and enjoyable, but I wasn't a fan of the cabbage. Instead of being lightly pickled with salt, it had been fermented to the point where it resembled white kimchi. I've actually never seen it made like this before.
