A hidden gem in my neighborhood. A solid 4.5/5 It's tucked away inside a nice plaza that also has some great food options. Parking is plenty and there are no real issues finding a spot. The ambience is cozy and the servers are extremely friendly. When we entered, we were told to sit anywhere we wanted and the servers came right away to serve us a pitcher of water and some cups. After perusing the menu, our choices were: -Spicy Shrimp Wonton -Roast Duck -Braised Beef Noodle Soup I believe the wonton and the duck were the best dishes. The wonton had good flavor and the spicy oil that the wonton was sitting in was a great complement to the wonton itself. The duck was perfectly salted with the perfect texture with every bite. There was a good amount of meat on the bones with no effort to chew. Absolutely delicious. As for the beef noodle soup, I've been noticing that a lot of restaurants have been missing the mark with the noodles. It can be bland and the flavor of the broth (which is delicious btw) isn't "absorbed" into the noodles as it used to be. Otherwise, the beef has great taste and texture, while the broth is flavorful. The servers were attentive throughout the whole dining experience and were really accommodating to all the diners in the restaurants. I will definitely be back to try the other dishes, especially the XLBs. A+!
I ordered for take out twice in two days. The tomato and brisket noodle soup was a bit sweet but tasty. I like that noodles were chewy just about the right texture. The brown sugar sticky rice dessert was crunchy on the outside and soft inside, which was great. I came back to order more food the second morning when it just opened. The cashier wasn't there. The kitchen staff came to help me. They were friendly and apologetic and offered us water and extra food while we waited for our order. I liked popcorn chicken. The pan fried pork buns were juicy. Overall, the food and the experience were great. I'd come back to try more food.
Stopped at Long's a little before closing and ordered the pork xiao long bao, Yangzhou fried rice, and pan fried pork buns. Loved the texture of the bao and buns! The fried rice was a great size, definitely going to order it next time I'm too lazy to cook (which is often). I want to go back to try the beef roll, minced pork rice, and beef roll! Service is friendly and attentive! Food came out quickly, plenty of seating in the restaurant and plenty of parking in the plaza.
A good spot for noodles on the border of Lake Forest and Irvine. The parking lot has a good amount of spaces that are shared with the plaza. The restaurant is indoor seating only. The menu isn't too extensive, but they have a QR code on the table that you can scan in order to see pictures of all of the menu items. The service is decent and quick. We went about an hour before closing on a Friday night and by then they had run out of xiao long bao. My favorite items that we tried were the braised beef brisket with tomato noodle soup and the glutinous rice cakes. The noodle soup had really good flavor and the noodles were cooked well. The glutinous rice cakes had a good level of sweetness that wasn't overwhelming and had a perfect crunch on the outside. Everything that we tried had really good flavor. The beef rolls had a very good crunch on the outside. The fried rice had a generous amount of shrimp in it. The pan fried pork buns do take a little bit longer than the other items, but they came out freshly cooked and piping hot. They were extremely juicy and had a good amount of meat in them. The potstickers and the steamed dumplings were not quite as good as everything else. There was a a smaller amount of filling compared to the skin for both.
A small Chinese restaurant with big portions for the price point. I came with my family, whom have been here before, and we got a table fairly quickly for 4 during lunch on a Sunday since it wasn't busy. We did family style and split multiple dishes: - Shrimp Fried Noodle: This was quite oily and lacked a bit of flavor to be honest. Shrimps were quite small. - Pork Wonton Soup: The soup was quite comforting, with veggies and wontons. Portion size is great for sharing amongst multiple people, with each person getting around 2-3 wontons each. - Xiao Long Bao: These came out HUGE and stuck together.. which ended up being a bad thing because it made it hard to pick up the soup dumpling without accidentally breaking the one next to it. As a result, almost half of our soup dumplings lost its soup before we even got it into our spoons. If you do get your hands on one without popping it, you do get a good amount of soup in it. - Spicy Shrimp Wontons: Not really that spicy (mainly chili oil). A bit bland in taste but fine once paired with dipping sauces like vinegar or soy sauce. - Shu Mai: Decent shumai and quite large for its size. Overall, I think the portions are great for the price and you're bound to leave full without paying too much. However, I think some of the execution on the dishes could've been better. Some of the dishes lacked flavor but they do have saucers to make your own dipping sauce with either soy sauce, vinegar, and/or chili oil.
We are back to the neighborhood Chinese noodle house for a quick lunch. They have implemented a new system since our last visit. Gone are the QR menu on the table and the iPad ordering at the table side. Everyone has to go to the counter to place their order and pay for it right away. Any tips for the server essentially is cash only and placed on the table. It is probably easier for the owner, not so much for the waiting staff. It is as busy as ever. We were lucky to be seated at the only open table available when we walked in. Several new items appeared on the updated menu, including the crispy duck noodles ($14.99) we ordered. Its beef roll ($11.99) and seaweed salad ($5.99) are tasty as ever. I wonder if I can add noodles to its wonton soup to make it into a meal. Until the next time...
Food: 4/5 We ordered a couple of dishes, the pan fried pork bun- was quite bread-y, the beef noodle soup was pipping hot and amazing, and the beef roll- was a little disappointing due to the size and flavors. Overall good, I would definitely recommend the beef noodle soup if I come back here again! Service: 5/5 waiters were attentive and quick with the food as soon as orders were placed. Ambiance: 4/5 Typically Chinese restaurant.
I don't write many reviews anymore--even as a former Yelp Elite--but this place genuinely left me confused about how it has more than 4 stars. I've eaten at countless dumpling and beef noodle soup restaurants, and this was honestly the worst experience I've had. I almost always finish my food, even when it's mediocre, because I don't like being wasteful. But this meal was on a different level. The beef noodle soup was completely bland, with chewy beef and a broth that tasted like hot water with something missing. The soup dumplings were just as disappointing--the broth inside had no flavor, and the wrapper was so overcooked that the meat tasted off. If you've ever had over-steamed dumplings, you'll know exactly what I mean. Even the popcorn chicken, which is usually a safe choice anywhere, was strange. It tasted like chicken that was meant to be used in a saucy dish--almost like orange chicken--rather than actual Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken. Service was also questionable. They had two servers, but both spent most of the time behind the counter. They were friendly when approached, but you definitely have to make an effort to get their attention. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I genuinely don't understand the high rating. This was a miss across the board.
They gave us free popcorn chicken and it was good probably the best one there is. The food is probably on the healthier side. it's not salty but it is flavorful on real bones, I can tell by the smell and taste, nothing is fake. We are filipino so we are not used to the noddle texture as we usually eat rice noodles so it's weird for us. They gave you plenty of food, Im more than 200lbs and I can't finish the soup. For some odd reason I feel more energized after the meal not heavy or acidic, this place is definitely on the healthier side.

Stopped by here for a quick lunch and the food is pretty good. Tomatoes braised beef noodle: 3.5 out of 5. Flavorful and the noodles had the chewiness. Only flaw I felt the beef was not simmered long enough. The meat was a tad chewier that I would like. Didn't have the "fall off the bone" feel where it's soft. Pork wonton noodle soup: 4 out of 5. Flavorful and the pork wonton was delicious. The size it perfect. Both noodle bowl filled 2 adults and 2 child so plenty of noodles to share. My daughter enjoyed the noodles and had more servings. Chicken fried rice: 3 out of 5. A tad bland, maybe that's why my daughter ended up eating more of the noodles. Popcorn chicken: 4.5 out of 5. The kids loved it and devoured the plate. What I like about this dish was the salt was just the perfect amount and my kids liked it the most bc no pepper to add the heat. Overall food was good. read more

a not so hidden gem in the corner of the plaza. What an incredible experience. I knew the place is authentic when the staff is fluent in both Mandrian and Cantonese. Ordered the braised beef noodle (spicy) and the roasted duck noodle. Both good but the star is the soup dumplings. the wrapping is done so superbly. thickness is just right to hold everything without tearing (please look at the video). read more
I found Long's Noodle on Yelp, and since it's only minutes away from me, I decided to check it out with a friend. I've been a fan ever since! Now, I frequently DoorDash their food for lunch, and it never disappoints. Braised Beef Noodle Soup - The soup is spicy but consistently delicious! You get a generous portion of noodles and beef, and I always order a side of bok choy to add in--it's a perfect combo. Beef Roll - Consistently amazing! The onion pancake it's wrapped in is so flavorful, I could eat it on its own. Xiao Long Bao - It's good, though I've had better elsewhere. Still, it definitely satisfies my soup dumpling cravings. Pan Fried Shrimp and Pork Buns - These are just okay. I gave them a second try, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Sesame Balls - Absolutely delicious and consistently so! My toddler and I are addicted, and we order them every time. Overall, Long's Noodle is a solid spot for a quick, tasty meal and the convenience makes it an easy go-to. Yummy yumyum!! read more
Clean and comfortable! Service was good and food came out at a good time. Everything we ordered was fresh and mild in flavor, I would say nothing was truly spicy. That's okay but something to think about it even when adding the chili oil on the side. Loved the fried rice and shrimp shumai! The dumplings were juicy and a great texture. read more
It's in their name. 100% get the fried noodles !! So yummy straight off the wok - we got the chicken fried noodle. They have an interesting take on shumai- theirs only has shrimp, no pork. To be fair, I like the original version but happy it provides people who can't eat pork with an alternative. read more

Very good Chinese noodles and dumplings. Good service too. If you're looking for a place in flower Ranch that has authentic Chinese noodles and other Chinese cuisines, this is the place to go. Let's start with the braise beef noodles that was very spicy. Flavor was decently good served with bok choy. We also ordered the mushroom noodles, a little bland, but still tasty. We also ordered the shrimp dumplings, filled with a lot of shrimp. This also is cooked in was OK, I was expecting a little more zesty. Definitely recommend read more

Enjoyed this place. All of our orders were so good! We ordered the braised beef noodle soup, prok xiao long bao, chicken dumplings, & cucumber salad. All were very tasty and delicious! Their xiao long bao has more soup compared to Din Tai Fung's. Service is fast. Place is casual and food is very reasonably priced. Glad we tried this place! read more

Portions were generous, everything came out hot and fresh, and even the presentation was thoughtful. Plus, the prices were more than reasonable for the quality and experience. Whether you're looking for comforting classics or something more adventurous, this spot checks every box. I'll definitely be back (probably sooner than I should be)! Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic, flavorful Chinese food served with care. read more
Overall, I thought the food here was just okay. A lot has to do with the pork mix that was used for their friend pork buns, wontons, and XLBs since it seemed to be all the same. The pork was mushy, a bit pink, and tasted a bit off. The texture just wasn't there. The beef roll (our usual go-to) was filled with lettuce and thickly cut dry beef. Sadly that was a miss as well. The only hits for me today was the spicy shrimp wonton and the cucumbers appetizer, which is probably due to the fact it had no pork in it. Overall, I felt that the dishes were pretty pricy and the flavors weren't there. read more

Where u can get fresh steamed hot dumplings. Especially, shrimp dumplings were so good with thin skin. Yes, highly recommend. read more
Came here with high hopes and started off dinner with dishes coming out quick. Establishment is small but was seated promptly and had help with high chairs for my kids. We ordered the chicken stir fried noodles, tomato braised beef noodle soup, beef roll, and pork xlb. The noodles had very little protein and the noodles were slightly salty but my kids gobbled it up. Tomato braised beef noodle soup lacked the tomato flavor and beef wasn't tender. The beef roll was nicely fried, the filling included lettuce and cilantro. Ask for extra sauce since it seems to be dry. The XLB was abnormally large and was mediocre. The broth was good but when I found out the meat was still raw inside and could potentially get us sick, that was enough. We sent back the dish and received a replacement but the meat was extremely mushy. Maybe we got the wrong dishes? read more

Are the Shrimp XLB and Shrimp shumai shrimp only (i.e. no pork)?
Shrimp XLB has pork & shrimp. Not sure about shrimp shumai.
Are any of the dishes made with rice noodles/ gluten free, vs. egg/wheat noodles? If yes, which ones, or may any noodle dishes be subbed out? TIA
Does Long's noodle house make chow bing?
