    Good selection
    Kevin C.

    Stumbled on this spot while grabbing stuff at Ralph's and its solids. Good portions . Food is good , will definitely come back when I'm in the area .

    9$ and something, and each item is the size of a a palm, with reason there's no clients Teriyaki is hard Rice is not to flavorful

    chow mein, orange chicken, & sesame chicken :)

    I've been a loyal customer for years & am still grateful to have a restaurant that still packs their plates the way they do. Prices are good for example $12 for 2 entree plate! Their egg flower soup or cream cheese wontons are yummy too! Parking is easy & lines don't take long if there is any.

    This Chinese take out place has been around for over 10 years and it holds to many people in the community. It's in the plaza where there's a 7-11 and across the street from Wall Mart. Over the years, it has gotten slowly better but the OG workers are gone and new people are here. What has change are the prices but it's still kind of affordable. All combos is choice of fried rice/ chow Mein or half and half Order #1 combo with chow Mein and beef and broccoli. It still holds up when I first try this in 2009.

    Kung Pao Chicken, Black Pepper Beef, Noodles and Steamed Rice

    Just as most Chinese scoop restaurants, the large portions make up for the price because you usually get two meals out of it. The Kung Pao Chicken and Curry Chicken were flavorful with a mild spice level - good for those that do not eat extremely spicy foods. The Black Pepper Chicken was also flavorful. My least favorite, however, was the BBQ Pork because it is sliced too thin - so the meat is noticeably dried out. It is still flavorful, but there are other Chinese scoops locally that make it better. Overall, a good Wok Experience.

    A big two item portion .

    The WOK Experience was a pleasant surprise here in Westminster as we know of one in Huntington Beach. Having the same name must be that they have equally as good Chinese point and choose dishes on the counter. Walking in, we were greeted, and I immediately knew that a fried rice and noodles combo would work for me. Now for the sides; mushrooms and chicken for a side, and I see greens for vegetables. The nice server went to the kitchen, and I waited. The lovely missus has Teri chicken and noodles and a green bean dish. My vegetables were made fresh; cabbage and carrots and zuchini and more. We also got some round almond cookies and found the napkins and fork and fortune cookies in the heavy bag. We were doing takeout. Well, no doubts about our choosing The Wok Experience at the Westminster location. It was a bountyful great lunch, and I had more for dinner with a cookie dessert.

    The box of orange chicken Combo, and I sorted out.

    I have been eating at The Wok Experience for twenty years and I have Orange chicken together with a combo only five times. Today I'm honestly grading for one star because five or six pieces of chicken. Other pieces are junk of flour. It was so greasy and I'm considering my health and illness. No thank you

    My boyfriend took me to his childhood Chinese spot and I loved it! The orange chicken and beef with broccoli were SO GOOD! Chow mein and fried rice were delicious. It's a really cute place and a bunch of tables. Service was quick and staff were friendly. This place also accepts credit cards and was extremely affordable. Definitely one of my new Chinese spots!

The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the black bean sauce was rich, savory, and packed with flavor. I loved how the sauce coated every strand of noodle, creating a comforting and satisfying dish without feeling too heavy. It's the kind of meal that keeps you coming back whenever you're craving something hearty and delicious. The restaurant has a casual, old-school atmosphere that feels authentic and welcoming. It reminds me of the kind of neighborhood spot that's been serving loyal customers for years. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food arrived quickly even during a busy lunch rush. If you're looking for authentic Korean-Chinese cuisine in Orange County, Peking Gourmet is definitely worth a visit. Their Jjajangmyeon is a must-order, and I can see why it has remained a local favorite for so many years.

The food comes out quick and it may not be a Michelin star worthy food but it's definitely a comfort food for a lot of people. Their black bean noodles are a staple but I also recommend the spicy shrimp, sweet n sour pork, and sizzling rice soup. Their jjambbong (spicy seafood noodle soup) is just ok.. Service is great because I think the servers recognize my family but speaking Korean also helps. Unfortunately, I have witnessed some of the servers being kind of rude to other patrons. The servers are just always in a rush. But I always find myself going back whenever we have a big group. Don't expect a nice, clean, modern ambiance. The carpets old, decor is questionable, and sometimes there's a weird smell. But I will continue to go here.

You also can't ever go wrong with spicy wontons, pan fried buns, popcorn chickens, or braised green beans. Yum! Huge bonus: the restaurant is directly connected to Ben Gong's Tea.

Mine and my bf's go to are the dry fried green beans, mapo tofu, Chong Qing Spicy Chicken, and Yang Chow fried rice. These are more than enough for two people and we always have leftovers to take home. The mapo tofu pairs soooo well with the fried rice and my bf loves the chicken. Green beans are flavorful and crispy as well! Hot and sour soup is HUGE. They aren't consistent in making this because some days it's the perfect balance of tangy and spicy flavor, but other times its tooooo sour. The restaurant is very spacious. I love that you can just order via QR (on your phone).

Everything tasted fresh and was consistently replenished throughout the meal. One of the highlights was the broth. It was rich, flavorful, and comforting, serving as the perfect base for all the ingredients. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors or enjoy trying different combinations, there's something for everyone. The atmosphere was spacious, clean, and welcoming, making it a great place for family gatherings, celebrations, or a casual meal with friends. Even during busy hours, the restaurant maintained a comfortable and enjoyable dining environment. The service was excellent as well. The staff were attentive, friendly, and quick to assist with refills and requests. Their hospitality made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. If you're looking for a delicious all-you-can-eat hot pot spot with quality ingredients, flavorful broth, and great service, Happy Lamb is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back for another hot pot night!

The broth simmers for like 8 hours, and you can taste it immediately -- rich, cozy, slightly life-changing. The Wagyu disappeared from my plate faster than my self-control, and the lamb was super tender. I also love the self-serve setup because I got to pretend I was on a cooking game show grabbing veggies, sauces, shrimp, noodles... everything. Dangerous for competitive people. The vibe inside is modern, clean, cute booths everywhere, and the staff was super attentive even while everyone around me was entering full hot-pot survival mode. If you're hungry hungry, this place is dangerous in the best way. I came for dinner and left emotionally attached to the broth. 10 outta 10 Pricing: AYCE options typically range from roughly $28-$44 depending on the package, with weekday lunch specials often available.

This helped us get a table much faster than we would have than if we had just shown up and waited. We ordered the large family meal, and there were 12 of us. We also ordered the Newport Lobster, fish fillet with black bean sauce, and an extra shrimp fried rice. Overall, I think the food was good, and the prices are reasonable (except the lobster, which was pricey, as you might expect from anything listed as "market price"). Most of us in the group thought the fish fillet with black bean sauce was the best. I thought it was very good, but not necessarily fantastic. (There are other Chinese restaurants that do it a little better.) The sauce was very good, but the fish wasn't quite as tender as it can be. Definitely a solid 4 stars. Other dishes were good. I think the scallop soup could have been great for some people, but my wife and I both hate cilantro, and there was a ton of cilantro. The pork was also good, and my friends thought the clams were also really good. I found the fried rice a bit bland. And for both the lobster and the crab, they could have made them a little easier to eat by cracking the shells a bit more for us. I hate fighting with my food ... And there was a fair amount of fighting on these 2 dishes. The lobster cost almost much as all the other dishes combined. It certainly looked amazing. And the sauce was very good. But I found most of it a bit overcooked. Maybe it was our fault for asking for a big one. Maybe a smaller lobster might have been cooked a little less. The great sauce (along with the fighting with the shell) might have covered up the fact that the meat was actually a bit tough and rubbery. I don't think I'd order this again. The service was very friendly and pretty fast. And, again, other than the lobster, the pieces were pretty reasonable.

Our family joked around and would say let's go to the travel agency restaurant when we had a craving for Chinese/Vietnamese type of food. I recall the food back then was extra tasty and memorable, leaving me wanting to return again and again. However, my recent lunch outing with my girlfriends changed my mind. Our servers were attentive and friendly. I think it helped that my friend was a familiar customer. We came on a Monday afternoon around 11:30 and It was early enough where parking was still available. We ordered the classic dishes, including salt and pepper fried pork chopsand salt and pepper fried shrimp, but the taste this time around left a lot to be desired. These two dishes lacked the crunchiness and flavors that these fried entrees are supposed to showcase. We found the pork chops to be dry and tough, as if it was prepared a while ago and sitting out for some time before it made its way to our table. The shrimp was not impressive either. At least the shaking beef or bo luc lac was good. The beef chunks were tender, and the flavors were on point. Bonus points for the broth that is complimentary during lunch. Also the complimentary orange slices were a nice touch to end our meal. We'd still return for the lobster and noodle when the occasion comes up.
