    Bullfrog in green chillies oil.
    Betty M.

    Wanted to try out bullfrog dishes at this place with one of the locals. The place is pretty cute. Small and not too many tables so get there early! The service was fast and the food was good. We ordered the bullfrog in green chillies oil, tongue & stomach cold dish and cucumber salad to cool down the spiciness of the chilies oils a Dish. Different flavors explode in your mouth on the first bite of the bullfrog in chillies oil. The bullfrog meat tastes like chicken meat and nothing special. The side dish of tongue and stomach is quite tasty. Only wish that it would served warm instead of cold. They charge $2 per small bowl of rice so order wisely.

    南加州神隱家常味中餐 Underrated Chinese spot. Grandma-level good Just have to call this place hidden -- you can't even find their Instagram, and there's no fancy design. But it's seriously underrated. Every dish feels like something grandma would make for a family dinner spread Look at the sour soup beef(酸菜牛肉湯) -- so much beef, the kind of portion that says, "Eat more, don't starve." There's also beef shank(牛腱) and braised pork rice(滷肉飯 ). Big portions and kid-friendly. For dessert: osmanthus tofu pudding(桂花豆腐花) -- simple, special, and full of that "grandma's love" comfort.

    Hidden Gem in Tustin! I stumbled upon this amazing Sichuan restaurant -- Shufeng Kitchen 蜀风小厨 -- and what a find! I came with the kids, planning to grab a few small bites, but once I saw the mala hot pot on the menu, I just couldn't resist I'm already planning to come back for the bullfrog pot next time! Zhong Dumplings (钟水饺) Thin wrappers, juicy filling, and that signature red chili oil aroma -- spicy, garlicky, slightly sweet, and totally addictive! Wontons in Chicken Broth This bowl was pure comfort -- rich yet refreshing chicken soup, tender wontons with generous filling... perfect for warming you up Couple's Sliced Beef and Tripe (夫妻肺片) A classic done right! Tender beef slices tossed with peanuts, cilantro, and just the right balance of numbing spice and heat -- a perfect dish to go with rice Spicy Mala Hot Pot (香辣冒菜锅) Loved this one! The broth was aromatic and flavorful without being greasy, with a layered heat that's not your typical mala tang base. Lots of ingredients, generous portions -- super satisfying Five-Spice Beef Fried Rice (五香牛肉炒饭) Chopped braised beef with carrots, peas, and eggs -- simple, hearty, and nostalgic. It tasted just like homemade comfort food. Shrimp & Fried Dough with Yogurt (酸奶虾滑油条) Crispy fried dough wrapped around shrimp, topped with yogurt and fruit -- a creative mix of sweet, savory, and tangy. The kids loved it! The restaurant is clean and comfortable, dishes come out quickly, and portions are generous. Around $20 per person, and everything tasted authentically Sichuan -- bold, spicy, fragrant, and full of flavor. They also offer takeout if you want to bring some dishes home to add to your dinner table Highly recommend for anyone craving real Sichuan cuisine in Orange County!

    The grill fish is really good. We had the garlic style because we can't eat spicy! The skin of the fish is crispy and does not have much bone. We also had the SiChuan cold noodle and it's authentic. The restaurant pretty simple and clean. The server was nice and came by many time.

    Osmanthus tea tofu dessert $5 10/5! Absolutely incredible. If you're a fan of cold, gently sweet, refreshing dessert with a subtle floral undertone, this is it. I found the osmanthus flavor to be wonderful and not so in my face. I loved it through and through. One portion is shareable, and I took home the other half to enjoy. Chili wontons 4/5 Bae really enjoyed these, I found they weren't as addictive as the house dumps, but still yummy regardless. Dan Dan noodles 4/5 $9ish Love the texture of the noodles! They're springy and emulate one of my fav sgv spots for noodle chew. It has a slight Szechuan numbingness to it, but not one where it takes over your tongue. The portion isn't crazy, but it's good for the size. I enjoyed it with cilantro mixed in! Braised beef with rice 3.5/5 Bae prefers the pork over the beef (said the pork is more savory), I had a couple slices and didn't care too much for it. They do give lots of beef tho. Seasoned peanuts near cash register 3/5 Wanted to try these cuz I love the salted Viet peanuts. These come in their Szechuan seasoning that's more piecey. Not my fav, but I probably wouldn't get again. They're not bad, but they're fine. Everything was about $60 I believe. Service is still great, the guy came out to explain all the dishes and mixed the noodles for us.

    The Chinese food scene is incredibly competitive in OC, with plenty of authentic options where it's hard to really differentiate as someone not particularly indoctrinated into the cuisine and can be intimidating with the food options and not being familiar with the language. I can totally relate as someone whose Chinese is definitely not good enough despite often being expected to. While I can't dive into the peculiarities of the cuisine here, it's pretty solid Sichuan style food that's a bit on the spicier side, for the general public, not that I would notice. The ordering process is pretty simple with a QR code, which has become pretty standard at Chinese restaurants and does make it easier if you struggle to read the menu items. They seem to be fairly new and not with the most expansive menu, with some pretty standard rice plates, but I knew I had to try out the noodles and dumplings, essentials in the cuisine. The jelly noodles made of mung beans were so refreshing on an incredibly hot day, with great texture and flavor. Though the dumplings look rather unassuming, it had such a combination of flavors that were absolutely delicious and unique in its flavor profile. They're simple dishes with incredible execution, and that's all you really need sometimes. The prices are very fair with solid portions, and you'll find yourself stuffed with a couple of dishes and not much more than $20 after tax and tip, which is absolutely solid for fresh, authentic, and delicious food. I really look forward to sampling the rest of the menu. TIP: The jelly noodles and house dumplings are essential.

    Family-owned Chinese restaurant located in the Stater Bros shopping plaza, just to the right of Stater Bros. I ordered over the phone and the food was prepared quickly--pickup was easy and the staff was very friendly. The service was excellent (5/5) and the pricing is one of the best deals around (5/5)--you can still feed four people for around $40, which is rare these days. As for the food, the flavors were just okay (3/5)--most of the dishes tasted pretty similar, and while I was told it's Sichuan-style, it didn't quite have the bold, spicy profile you'd expect. The fried rice was good, but the wonton soup was too salty for my taste.

    I love Sichuan food, and locally I love going to Sichuan Impressions. I went to ShuFeng Kitchen with really no expectations other than it was a new local spot, and I was genuinely surprised at how amazing the food was here. This place is located in an unassuming plaza, and it's right by a popular Indian restaurant that's a free standing building - same complex technically as Habuya just on the opposite corner. Inside is so unassuming though really clean, and the menu is pretty minimal tight compared to other local Chinese spots. Where the place shines is undoubtedly the food. One of my favorite dishes at Sichuan Impressions is their impressive dumplings - beaten out by the dumplings at Super Dumplings in orange - and now both places by here. There is something so wonderful about the noodles and wraps here. I'm not 100% sure but the noodles here taste hand made and they soak up sauces so beautifully. The wontons, dumplings, and dandan noodles were just spectacular. They look so plain but flavors do not lie, these are some of the best local noodle and dumpling related dishes I've had in a really long time. I also had the spicy hot pot and oh my goodness it was spectacular. I love ordering the Mao Cai at sichuan impressions but the spicy hot pot here takes it for me. The flavors are spectacular and what really sold me was the quality of the spicy beef. The spicy beef in the hot pot is cooked to perfection, perfectly seasoned, and so high quality and tender. We also added ok the duck blood and intestines, and I haven't had better duck blood or intestines locally they were both unexpectedly phenomenal. Overall I will be a regular here when I have a Sichuan craving. We had 5 dishes total and not a single miss. If you like spicy food, Sichuan cuisine, or are at all interested in a spicer flavor profile of food, I highly recommend trying this place.

    HOT & NEW in Tustin. Such a clean restaurant off of red Hill and the 5 freeway. It looks newly remodeled and is next to India kitchen. Hot means spicy. Try their spicy beef hot pot with a tender beef. The meat melts in your mouth and the vegetables inside feels like it will clean you out for the evening. The braised chicken is tender, but not overcooked. The mouth feel for all of the dishes are great since it feels cooked, but not overcooked. Server takes his time getting you clean, unchipped dishes. Water is cold and plentiful. We came for lunch and there was no wait. The dipping powder for the braised and beef really shined.

    Overall a good authentic Chinese restaurant! I came here with a party of 3 on a Friday evening for dinner around 6:30pm and there was no wait although most tables were full (small and casual interior). Ordering is easy and through an app, and food came out fairly quickly. We ordered the sichuan jelly noodles which had a nice kick to it, it was super oily! Also ordered the house special dumplings which were my favorite dish (so delicious and good amount of spicy). The braised chicken and fried rice was pretty good, fried rice a tiny bit bland. And I wish there were more vegetable options, pretty much no vegetable dishes. But overall I was satisfied with my meal! Service was good too!

    Wow, what a surprisingly great find. I came in right at 11:30am on a weekday and there was also a couple other groups ready to try the place out. The server was super nice and made sure everything I ordered made it out. The food was soooo good! Ordered the house special dumplings, hot oil wontons, and osmanthus longjing tea tofu pudding. The spice on the house special dumplings creeps up a little. Nothing was too salty. My first time having osmanthus tofu pudding and it's now one of my new faves. I would definitely come back just for the tofu pudding!! Can't wait to come back and order more. I have a feeling I'll have to order pick up because this place will definitely be a hit in the near future.

    New favorite spot in Tustin! If you love bullfrog dishes, Shufeng Kitchen is a must-try. We got their signature bullfrog hot pot and WOW -- super fragrant, perfectly spicy, and every piece of bullfrog was tender and juicy. The tofu at the bottom soaked up all the broth... SO good. The owner suggested we try the Zhong dumplings and baby potatoes -- both were amazing. The potatoes tasted just like the street-food style ones I miss from home, and the dumplings were clearly handmade with a really nice sweet-spicy garlic chili sauce. My partner kept saying "this is so good" the whole time. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!

    Today we stumbled upon a surprisingly amazing little Sichuan restaurant in Tustin, right next to Irvine -- Shufeng Kitchen . From the outside, it looks quite ordinary, but the moment you step in, that familiar aroma of Sichuan spices instantly hits -- this place is truly a hidden gem. The staff were super friendly and recommended a few of their must-try dishes -- we went for the Golden Broth Fatty Beef Hotpot, Tengjiao Dumplings, and Green Sichuan Pepper Bullfrog Pot. These three dishes easily became the stars of the table. The Golden Broth Fatty Beef Hotpot arrived with a gorgeous golden soup base that smelled incredible -- slightly sour, mildly spicy, and rich in flavor. The thinly sliced beef cooks in just seconds, perfectly tender and juicy, soaking up all that broth flavor. Absolutely addictive! The Tengjiao Dumplings were another highlight -- silky smooth wrappers with a savory filling inside. The green Sichuan pepper oil added that tingling, numbing aroma that bursts on your tongue -- spicy but not overwhelming, leaving behind an unforgettable fragrance. Then came the Green Sichuan Pepper Bullfrog Pot, heaven for anyone who loves bold, spicy flavors! The bullfrog meat was tender and delicate, while the bubbling broth delivered waves of numbing heat from the peppers -- perfect with a bowl of rice. Every bite was a fiery delight! Beyond the spicy dishes, their noodles and cold appetizers were equally impressive. The Sichuan Braised Beef Noodles had a rich, flavorful broth with tender chunks of beef and springy noodles; the Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce was thinly sliced, well-balanced in spice, and even more refreshing when chilled; and the Cold Noodles were light, spicy, and incredibly appetizing -- perfect for a warm day. Since we had a child with us, we also ordered the Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice, which turned out to be a hit -- the pork was perfectly balanced with fat and lean, rich with soy-based flavor, and the kid couldn't stop eating until the bowl was completely clean!

But they do have a waitlist online (as of May/Jun 2026) so get on that early. I do wish they would make things spicier. I know that sounds a little dubious for a Thai restaurant but though the default is more mild, the flavor is still there. This is good for those who can't handle spice but still want flavor. This is the main reason I didn't round up on my rating. The expectation is to lean spicy or at least be asked what level. I should have asked for more spice but honestly didn't think about it at the time and was more focused on the company I was keeping. Not a huge deal for me bc the flavor was still there but definitely to be noted. I'm up for going again but next time I will ask for more spice. Other notes... they have an interesting beer list so if you like that make sure to check it out. The parking is also tight so again keep that in mind.

One of the spots that you scan a menu at the table and you review, order and pay all in the app. I was really not familiar with the line up and went with the "House Special Beef Pot Roodle" (Roodles are their rice noodles). It was a weekend only item and I tried that. The noodles came separate from the soup. Over all it was very tasty. The meat was a bit fatty and the soup had tendons too. I took that part home and my wife loved it. I tend to avoid the fatty meat and tendons are not good to me. 10 of us so some of the appetizers got passed around. The smashed cucumbers are excellent, and my buddy also got some friend potatoes of sorts, reminded me of a fat French fry. Because my buddy and I sat at the same table we scanned the same menu, he ordered a bunch of stuff and also House Special Beef Pot Roodle. That confused the kitchen and they asked me if I meant to order 2, I said no and didn't realize I cancelled my buddy's order. Part of the confusion of a large party and many scanned menu orders. My buddy was struggling to order and our initial waiter seemed to not understand my friend and that took a little bit to work out, young lady came from the back and was able to quickly resolve some of the confusion and get questions answered as needed. In the end he had lot of food to explore. One thing that caught my eye was several couples there and sharing a large soup item served with a tray of various food items for the soup. Kind of a date night visual and something that looked very interesting. Several couples around us had that same dish and its got me more curious. Might have to come back with my wife and try this one.

    I decided to give this place a try because I heard their noodles were very authentic, and as…read moresomeone who loves noodles, I was excited to try it. I ordered their most popular dish, the A1 set, but honestly, it didn't really live up to the hype for me. The broth tasted pretty underseasoned overall. From what I understood, you're supposed to mix all the toppings into the soup with the noodles, but even after doing that, I still felt like the flavor was lacking. Yes, they provide seasoning on the side, but personally, I wish the broth already had enough flavor on its own without needing to adjust it myself. Would I come back? Probably not. Nothing really stood out to me enough to return, and it felt more like a one-time experience. Overall, everything was just okay.

This is a chain and I've been to the ones in LA and always enjoyed the food there. I was happy to see one open up in the OC. The interior is very unassuming and is next to a bulk sized grocery store for Asian food. The signs are almost hidden from the front so you wouldn't know to look for it unless you read these reviews first! We tried a variety of items: Shrimp egg rolls, fish with seaweed, fried pork buns, Shanghai rice cakes, and salt and pepper pork. All the items were really tasty except for the fried pork buns - don't get those. The bun part was very mushy and you didn't get any soup inside. The fish with seaweed and salt and pepper pork chops were excellent. Very flavorful and not too salty. I would definitely get those again. The Shanghai style rice cakes are also very good, nice and chewy, definitely cooked correctly. And you can't go wrong with the shrimp egg rolls - they came with large chunks of shrimp which was nice. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous compared to what you would find in Irvine for similar quality. I would come back!

    Highly recommend. Mama Lu's is actually inside the store. It's a whole restaurant with plenty of…read moreseating inside. Dumplings were all a 10/10. You can't go wrong with any of the choices. My favorite was the juicy pork. You can tell they're freshly made. Tasty. Flavorful. The service was excellent. Server checked on us quite a bit. Dumplings come out within 15mins.

    I stopped by this place on my way back to San Diego while I was taking a road trip…read more There was plenty of parking since we got there a little after peak lunch hour. The restaurant itself is tiny and packed with ppl so we opted into sitting at the bar so we can get seated faster. The decoration was very cute, felt like I was in Asia again. It def gave the aesthetic of a Thai restaurant. For food I order the famous curry noodles - forgot the official name but it was delicious! However, really spicy so beware if you cannot eat that much hot stuff. They also had matcha Thai tea and it had lots of flavor surprisingly. You can't taste the hint of matcha with the sugariness of the Thai tea drink with milk. The crispy pork belly was crispy and didn't taste like it has been sitting for a while like other restaurants. I would recommend but I told think I would come back due to the long wait.

    If you like spicy food, you can't go wrong with any dish here. If you don't like/can't eat spicy…read morefood, there are still many dishes that are so tasty even without heat. This place is almost always packed. Try going at odd hours during the week or weekend. Parking is tight and awkward but people tend to leave here and there if you're patient. All the servers are so sweet and will help you pick out the right dish. We've been here so many times and still haven't tried everything on the menu!!

We got: Taiwanese soup noodle (5/5): new on the wall and wanted to try. Lots of good beef pieces in the soup, and not too heavy on the spice. Came with a vinegar dipping sauce Dry noodle combinations (5/5): we basically tried all of them. Perfect Al dente egg noodles with a clean broth on the side. Mine came with intestine, others had a fried chicken or dumplings which was really good and meaty. I like how all combos came with a sauce to accompany it Oxtail noodle soup (5/5): slightly spicy, very satisfying. Tender oxtail Overall so good and will be coming back!

The chicken wings were phenomenal. We got all flats, which I'm not sure if they normally serve it like that. They were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and just enough seasoning. The broth was super tasty. The oxtail cooked well. The noodles were in my opinion too soft. That's fine, my granddaughter likes him a little soft. The service was service, not bad or good. It was a small place, felt a little chaotic. Would I go back, if I was in the area probably.
