I'm so glad that this place opened in Foothill Ranch, and hope that they'll stay. It's been so unusually cold in SoCal, and this place came in handy for some hot noodle soups. On my first visit, I got their SPICY BRAISED BEEF NOODLE, WONTON SOUP, and ONION PANCAKE. The noodle soups were decent, and I would even say good for South OC lol. As a side note, to those that live South of Irvine, would know that there are not many great Asian restaurants around the area. So, I'm so thankful this place opened nearby. The Onion Pancake came out fresh, piping hot, and not too salty. I loved it so much I finished the entire order and went back to get more the weekend after. I also ordered their SIU MAI on my second visit, and I only managed to sneak in a bite as my son immediately grabbed it from me LOL. It was delicious to say the least. One thing I really like about this place is their excellent and friendly service. Eason, who helped me on my visits, is very nice, polite, super friendly, and communicate perfectly. Overall, I am happy that this place opened in FHR, and will continue to support them. read more

Bookmark saved to come back for more. Excellent food, clean restaurant, and good service. The XLB is juicy, the green onion pancake is crispy and flaky without being too doughy, and the fried rice is done right. read more

How do you run out of BEEF when that's your go-to protein that effects many of your food items in your menu?????? On a SATURDAY late afternoon too!!!! Does that mean this can happen AGAIN in the future and your customers should ask if you have beef today before taking a table??? Lame. Anything tastes good when you're hungry, so we switched up our orders since there was no beef except beef brisket. The shrimps in our fried noodles were TINY!!!! As in tiny shrimps you would buy frozen at the grocery stores... EMBARRASSING!!!! I see the pictures on Yelp and the shrimps look much larger than what you served us today... Shame on you guys, don't care about your reason or apologies. Your veggie rolls and soup dumplings saved your AZZ. read more

We came here around 4:30pm and there was no one here. We ordered pork Xiao Long Bao, shrimp wonton soup, fried rice Yangzhou style, pork pan fried Bao, and sesame balls. My favorite were the sesame balls and fried rice. The wonton soup was too salty and it had too much white pepper. The Xiao long Bao and pan fried Bao were not really that good. Portions are generous but it's more expensive compared to another dumpling place in Lake Forest. Ambience is nice and I like that they don't use plastic and paper goods. Service was friendly but I don't think we will be back. read more

Great new place that opened! We've come twice so far and have been pleased. I'm grateful that more authentic Asian restaurants are opening near me so I don't have a trek to north county or Irvine to get my fix. Favorites: beef noodle soup. Big portions with good bouncy noodles and a pleasing soup. Has a kick! Xiao long bao and the pan fried baos were also good, but not the best I've had. They'll do to satisfy a craving, however. Overall, this place is worthy of a try! read more

New-er Chinese restaurant in the Foothill Ranch/Lake Forest area! Closer alternative to restaurants in Irvine for South OC residents. We took our order to-go and everything was super yummy. The xiaolongbao are of a large size and very juicy. Beef noodle soup was on the spicier side, but really good. They did not skimp on the beef in the beef rolls - which also had a large portion size. The pickled bean fried rice is a dish my mother enjoys but doesn't see often, so we definitely appreciated that. Will be returning! read more

Got takeout from Long's - not too shabby! I tried the pan-fried pork buns, shrimp soup dumplings, and pork ribs noodle soup. My favorite were the pan-fried pork buns. I haven't had anything like it before. Luckily there were 6 in the order...with the first one I didn't realize there was liquid inside. Really good though - textures, flavor, heat - all on point. The soup dumplings were pretty good too. Those I knew would have some soup so I was prepared. The noodle soup was alright. I liked the broth - similar to a lighter pork broth. Nice and creamy. The noodles - excellent. Great texture and chew. I had issues with the ribs and the veggies though. The ribs were cut pretty clumsily - lots of bone splinters. I got poked quite a few times, found a few bone shards, and had to be pretty careful. Definitely didn't give any to my kids. Also, I counted exactly 3 pieces of vegetables - all cut pretty small. Pretty straightforward type of restaurant. Parking is easy in the plaza lot. read more

Newly opened in a strip mall in the remote area of Lake Forest, Long Noodles doesn't disappoint. It's imperfect, and for some reason one wall is *covered* with decorations while the other wall is completely empty, but their service is good, the restaurant is clean, and the food is all above average...at least the food we tried. While we were eating, the waiter constantly patrolled the restaurant, asking if we wanted anything more and refilling our drinks. We ordered the pickled beans w/ minced pork noodle soup, the spicy xiao long bao, and the pan-fried shrimp buns. They were all excellent. The soup came out first, and it was *huge*. Good thing we shared. When I dished a portion into the sharing bowl, I found out why it's called "long noodle." The noodles are *long*!!! Awkwardly so. But they're tasty and the consistency is great. It was interesting eating a pickled soup, but it matched the spice well. The spice was strong and lasting, but not quite as hot as ma la. It was a pleasure drinking down the pickled, spiced goodness on a cold night. Their bao is where they really shine though. The Spicy Xiao Long Bao isn't really spicy to me, definitely not as spicy as the soup, but it was *flavorful*. Much more flavorful than Din Tai Fong. Slurping the soup is so great, I didn't need any vinegar or soy sauce. Their pan-fried buns were OK. The presentation was lacking since a couple had collapsed, and there wasn't much soup inside, and the bottom of it was charred black. Strangely, the black char didn't detract from the taste at all. I would have preferred it to be slightly burned on the top and bottom instead of completely charred black along the bottom. The buns are also a bit pricey for only getting 6, but they were *that* much more flavorful. So, you get a bit less quantity, but a bit more quality, which I think is a worthwhile trade, since my stomach isn't as large as it used to be. They gave us complimentary sesame balls at the end of the night, which was a nice touch. I'm unsure if it's something they always do. They were cooked fresh and warm, and were just the right amount of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I usually get my sesame balls cold during Dim Sum, so it was nice to have a freshly cooked set presented to us at the end of the meal. All in all, a great restaurant. Little things here and there that make it less than perfect, but definitely a tasty restaurant to satisfy your bao and noodle cravings. read more

Dishes were tasty. Portions are on the smaller side and leaves room for you to tray different dishes. My girls enjoyed the XLB. The spicy shrimp wontons could use some more spicy, it was all oil and not as flavorful. My husband really liked the fish noodle dish. Will come back and try different dishes! read more

Small strip mall place. Very plain and unfinished but clean. One waiter for the 10 ish tables they have, so service isn't great. No plates or sauce dishes provided. We got 4 bowls that we used to share food. Plastic cutlery and plastic cups for water. Drink selection is canned sodas. The food, though, is very good. The braised beef soup is the star with a rich broth and perfect balance of fatty spice. It was lovely. The sui mai is solid, the xiao long bao slightly too big with a delicious filling. The meat in the pan fried pork buns is delicious and gingery, though the dough falls flat. Scallion pancake has a good texture but no onion flavor. Overall a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Would definitely NOT recommend this Chinese restaurant. If you're Chinese, they will serve your order on time but if you're not, be ready to wait for your order for a very long time. Food is bland, no flavor just like you've been served with boiled water for your soup. Keep away from this nasty Chinese restaurant! read more

A new business in Lake Forest for beef noodle soup and dumplings. It was my first time here and there was only one server doing everything. Seating customers, cleaning tables, taking orders, bringing out food, answering the phones, etc. I didn't get his name but he was very sweet and friendly. As for the food, beef noodle soup was great. You can tell that the broth has been cooked for a while to give it the best quality taste. The beef meat itself was tender and noodles were chewy. I also got beef rolls and it was slightly sweet. This place hit the spot! read more

New chinese place in Foothill Ranch! So excited. Got a bunch of snacks this time. Spicy wonton is good. Siumai is a little soft . Pan fried pork bun is great! Prob my favorite . Will come back to try more stuff. Rice cake is a dessert btw. Pretty good! The one star less is because of the way. But once they get it going, It probably will be fine read more

This restaurant is part of the Long's kitchen family group in Irvine, but they specialize in the noodle portion. I was told by the crew that this place opened in December 2022 and it's more of a soft opening. Anyways, my wife and I came here for lunch and ordered the following: * braised beef noodle - this is actually fantastic. I love the texture of the noodle and I asked them to go less spicy and it was perfect. I do wonder how the default spice level would be but less spicy did the trick for us. * Dry braised beef noodle - this one is also fantastic. I prefer soup base but this could be that it was cold that day. For me, you cannot go wrong with either dishes. Even though it was a soft opening, the service was fantastic too. Again, this place is amazing and I hope they are here to stay!!! read more

We came in on a rainy morning, hungry for something warm and comforting... This place hit the spot! Currently in soft opening, but they seem to have a complete menu. The noodles were a definite standout. Homemade, bouncy, long noodles with a great texture and flavor. We got the beef noodle soup and the pickled green bean and pork soup. Soup bases were similar but the toppings differed. A bit lighter in flavor but tasty nonetheless. Spicy pork Xiao long bao and pan fried soup dumplings were great too. The Xiao long bao are bigger than you see at Din Tai Fung, but have more flavor - a bit sweet with ginger and bursting with pork flavor. The pan fried dumplings had a tasty and yeasty dough, similar to Chinese donuts. The beef pancake roll was a bit disappointing, just did not stand out compared to the other dishes. Would come back again. read more

Delicious soup dumplings and beef roll. Came on a Monday at noon and there was no wait. Dumplings were perfectly prepared. We will be back!

WORST customer service in Foothill Ranch. The waiter literally walked up to our table and said "what?" when he was taking our order. He never came back to check on us. I asked for a to-go box and I waited so long that I decided to get it myself. The food is bland and totally mediocre. The fried noodles are super greasy. Save yourself a bad dining experience and skip this place!!! read more

The best noodles in OC hands down. Great broth. Been going to AJ for years but discovered this place recently and the xiao long bao, and shrimp wonton are so big and juicy and delicious. Can't recommend this place more ! Everything is super tasty and the staff is super welcome and friendly read more

We had such a good experience. The environment was clean and there was little to no wait for a seat. The food is made to order, so we were happy to wait. We got three different dumplings the sumai, the xiao long bao, and the pork fried dumplings. Each were juicy and delicious. They were huge, filling, moist dumplings. Our family also got the beef noodle soup which was warming on this cold winter night. Such a great experience, such good service. Highly recommend! read more

Food is solid here. Beef roll, beef noodle soup, cucumber salad, and spicy wontons are my favorites. 4/5 star for 2 reasons; they often run out of beef and so the beef rolls and noodle soup are unavailable (happened on two separate occasions). Get that they are a small mom and pop but these are two of their most popular dishes, hopefully they can figure out their supply chain issues . The cucumber salad is also not always consistent tasting, sometimes it's not as flavorful but when it's good it is SO good. read more

We come here at least once a month! The food is delicious and very flavorful! Service is always good. We're always happy when we leave. Our favorites are the spicy shrimp wontons, the beef roll, the pan fried buns with the shrimp and pork, the rice cakes, and the spicy pork xiao long baos. The spicy shrimp wontons have lots of shrimp filling in them and the chili oil they're tossed in is really yummy! The beef roll is light and crispy on the outside and slightly sweet and salty on the inside. The pan fried buns are really juicy inside and crisp on the bottom. The rice cakes are chewy and drizzled with a delicious sauce. And the xiao long baos are filled with a spicy broth that's just a burst of flavor in your mouth. read more

I usually give five stars, but this time I have report this. My friends and I came here to celebrate my friend's birthday, and we ordered a lot of food. The serving speed was very slow, and the waiter had a super bad attitude, which made it sounds like our fault. I have to say, it was a very bad experience. The food was good, but because of the guy, we will never come back again. read more

This place has phenomenal food. Gives Din Tai a run for the money but the service rates a zero. We had a young man as our server. Not only is he inattentive, he was rude. Raised his voice a bit annd argued that we ordered additional items which we did not. There was also a female waitress who is working and she came over to apologize, which is the only reason I didn't rate it a 1 star. Dissapointing but one server can ruin what was a great meal. read more

Long's noodle is so freaking good! Even my picky son approved. We love the soup, dumplings, and just about everything on the menu. It's a nice looking place with good service. read more

Came back to try this place and everything seemed worse than I remember. The beef noodle soup now seems to be served with the braised beef but it's mixed with a clearer (pork-based?) broth which really defeats the purpose of getting the noodles. The noodles were also not that good to eat (probably cause of the lack of flavor of the broth). read more

I must have been here in the first week they had opened and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the braised beef noodle soup, the first item on the menu, and was surprised by how large the portion that came out was. I hadn't seen braised beef noodle soup that came with thinly cut beef before, but the flavor of it was incredibly good and tasted exactly like the beef I would get at any other good beef noodle place. The noodles were nice and I'd say the only knock against them was the broth was maybe a little under seasoned. However, I added a bit of the soy sauce on the table and that rounded the flavor out and made it perfect. The staff were super nice and seemed very receptive for feedback about their dishes. and I will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes. It's always nice to have new local restaurants opening that have good food! read more

Ordered cucumber salad was ok, in fact the only thing eatable. shrimp and pork dumplings were horrible. Shrimp shumai was ok. Beef role, greasy not tasteful. Chicken fried rice, oh my god, embarrassing. The Diet Coke was excellent. Thank god they had nothing to do with it. I don't know what they are thinking making Chinese/taiwanese food. read more

I don't want to review this place because I do t want it to get too crowded, but I want to review because I want this place to succeed. The food is delicious! Lots of flavor. The beef roll has a little spice to it and the flavors of it all are what will bring me back. The spicy wantons were really flavorful, but didn't have too much of a kick. I will get these again. Both the beef and chicken noodles were really tasty too. Ambiance is alright. Kind of bright in there and it's a relaxed environment. Definitely a place we'll be returning to. Don't listen to the naysayers. read more
