Ambiance - very clean, lots of seating, free parking, very clean bathroom…read more Service - our server had a wonderful sense of humor and took great care of us. Although egg foo yoong was not in their lunch menu, they made it for my friend. We ordered from their lunch menu which included soup (choice of egg flower or hot and sour), rice or noodle and an entree. I ordered the kung pao shrimp and was expecting a lot of veges with it. I was pleasantly surprised that instead, it had a lot of shrimp and bell peppers. Overall, it was a good dish. I rate this 3.5 stars.

Our group was seated on their patio, in cozy cushioned chairs…read more Their menu included common items you might find on a dumpling restaurant menu, so I picked out a few of my favorites. Dishes came out as they were made, and everything tasted fresh. 4/5 Pan Fried Beef Bun: I really enjoyed the crispiness of the bottom, it gave the dumpling a nice crunch. The meat was good, while I didn't care for the soup. However, it's helpful that their latest menu has a warning about the hot soup. 4.5/5 Chili Oil Chicken Dumplings: Generally tasty, with the right amount of umami. I liked the slippery texture of the dumpling wrapper, a nice contrast to the meaty filling. The chili oil didn't have much flavor or a kick, but I enjoyed the dish nonetheless. 3.5/5 Sautéed Green Beans: This was also generally good, had some chili pepper and garlic for flavor, though perhaps not as crispy or blistered as I usually would like. I'd rate the food as 4/5 and service 6/5. Our server kept checking on us to see if we needed anything, and was very prompt with any requests.

When asked for menu, the server said sorry it's bc they don't have alot of menu books available but proceeded to give me 3 out of like 10 that I see they have. So they obviously had some! There were only 3 tables that had customers. After that taking the menus, we were again not attended to for 20-30minutes, noone brought us water or ever asked if we were ready. We had to flag them, once again. They were at least 3 servers so it's not like they were short of help when there's only 3 tables full at the time. It's like they were ignoring us. We proceeded to order 9 dishes that took awhile to come out. Only 1 dish came out which was the walnut shrimp and then more came out 15minutes later. How do they expect our big party to start eating with just 1 dish. We also had to wait literally 30minutes with nothing to eat for 3 dishes at the end when we finished everything else already. We had to ask about it 3 times. They need better timing in everything.... I noticed a couple tables having the same problems. As for the food, it was alright. The honey walnut shrimp and fried salted pepper shrimp was not crispy. The peking duck was actually great, one of the best. But it is not worth their service & other foods.. There are tons of chinese food options out there, we will not be coming back here. 2il

Found this place being in the shopping center on Chapman and decided to give it a try…read more We went around dinner time on a weekday afternoon and the inside seating was very open. There was a good amount of tables inside! I ordered the vegetable tofu Soup, tender beef and broccoli, and honey walnut shrimp. The veggie tofu soup was seasoned very lightly (which was exactly what we wanted!) and the veggies and tofu were cooked just right. The honey walnut shrimp was absolutely delicious and would definitely recommend! The beef and broccoli had a great sweet and savory sauce that was very good. The service covered us well and checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. They were also quick to provide and additional requests we made. Altogether, my group enjoyed the food and it was a good experience!

I really wish they had a Chinese food spot like this nearby me…read more Prior to meeting with someone I had lunch here. I was blown away by the many variety and affordable pricing. Monday through Friday they offer great lunch pricing. They also had lunch pricing for the weekends as well. And they had great family combo sets which is what I went with. I came with one other person and we decided on the 3 people dinner set which included eggrolls, choice of soup, broccoli beef, orange chicken, chow mien, and choice of rice. Before our food came out the nice waitress brought us complementary fried wontons and sweet & sour sauce to munch on. It was a great start to our meal. The eggrolls were vegetarian. And for my soup I got the hour & sour which was really nice and comforting. The person I came with got their egg drop option which they enjoyed. For rice we went with the fried rice option instead of just white rice. It was on the blander side but we dressed it up with some table soy sauce. The chow mien was good but the texture of the chicken in it was a little odd. We still chowed down on it though. The beef broccoli was probably the best thing there. It was so flavorful. The orange chicken were very large pieces. The sauce on it was good. We were blown away by how much food we got and ended up having a lot of left overs. Our entire meal was priced slightly below $50. What a great deal! Our waitress was super nice and food came out quick. She made sure to check on us. The inside of the restaurant is casual but spacious. We enjoyed out time there and definitely would come back.

There are are many dishes new to me and perhaps offers an opportunity to try in the future. Today our favorite dish was the Mapo Tofu. The chow mien noodles were a little soft (I like a little spring in the texture) but flavorful. However the chow fun (flat noodles) were a little hard, too chewy. The fried rice was ok just not what I'm used to, since the style and texture is their family's recipe. The vegetable dishes were also very good with just the amount of spice.

This place has great deals and happens to be next to one of my fav Japanese restaurants too! We started with egg drop soup and it was thick and hearty, added a little soy and spice to it and it was great, the schezwan wontons were amazing as well and had an interesting spice chili sauce to them which was great (I used the leftover chili sauce to add to my other food as well). The beef and broccoli had a lot of flavor but was my least fav of everything we ordered. Not bad but typical dish. The fried rice was cooked fine and I liked the veggies they included, it had nice taste and complimented the food as well. The chow mein was delicious and had great flavor and fresh ingredients too. Service was quick and excellent. The restaurant is pretty small so any party over 4 will need to combine tables which is what we did but it worked out. This may just have became one of my new fave Chinese places!

Growing up in Hong Kong ,…read more lamb wasn't something I ate very often. It wasn't until I moved to SoCal that I discovered all-lamb restaurants like M Joy. It's basically a dream come true for lamb lovers -- almost every meat dish on the menu is lamb! This popular halal restaurant specializes in Xinjiang-style lamb dishes. The lamb rib with rice was incredibly tender and practically fell off the bone. The grilled lamb shank and grilled lamb ribs are also must-orders if you love bold, flavorful dishes. And don't miss the lamb skewers! They come in both spicy and non-spicy options. One thing that really surprised me was their classic sweet tea. They also have a salty version... but we definitely went with sweet. Oh, and you can request extra side dishes and soup too! Definitely come hungry. IG: socalhkfoodies

Came on a Sunday around 12pm and there was no wait. We were seated immediately…read more == FOOD == Our table of 4 shared 2 plates of the lamb rib/shank dish (one spicy, one non-spicy). We also got the Hokkaido Milk Tea and a Hot salty milk tea. We also got 3 lamb skewers! The rice of the plates was savory and salty and paired well with the lamb. The carrot side dish was very delicious. == SERVICE == We order through the QR code at the table. Staff are very quick to bring utensils and water to the table. Food came out pretty quickly as well. == AMBIANCE == Quite a small store, seats around 26/28 people. There is indoor and outdoor seating.
