    Spicy beef bone special
    Laura L.

    Came during lunch on a Sunday. Wait time 30-40 minutes. Food: 10/10 Ordered 2 special beef rib noodles,1 oil noodle, beef shumai and pork shumai. The specials came with tea and salad but we never got our salad. They were really busy and the waitresses were really hustling. They had to bus the tables, deliver food and drinks, and deliver orders. I think they need more floor staff for sure. There was 1 waitress with black hair that was doing everything herself. They didn't have a real way to check in, just a piece of paper you put your name on. Their tables are really odd so you often have to sit with other parties. That was fine with us but there's also an odd indent in the table so it makes it difficult for the person on that side to eat. Food came out pretty quickly after we ordered. There was a lot of confusion on delivery though since they have multiple parties sitting at 1 table and if they don't correct the table # for what is being input, it all just goes to 1 table which is what happened while we were there. We had 1 order of Uni shrimp I really wanted to try but our order was never put in. My kids loved the food so that was a winner for them. The not spicy looks unseasoned but I promise it has an amazing sauce at the bottom. I would def try this place again maybe just not when they're so busy. They def have to reorganize to keep up with busy times.

    I just discovered a new spot! I honestly didn't expect to have Xibei right in my neighborhood--so happy This location feels like a more casual branch, focusing on noodles , steamed dumplings , and Chinese burgers (roujiamo) . Perfect for a quick, everyday meal! They're currently in soft opening, and the combo deal is such a steal 18.75 = Braised Beef Rib Oil-Splashed Noodles + Drink + Salad (Which basically means the drink and salad are FREE!) The noodles are insanely fragrant--I even asked for extra chili oil, and it was so worth it‼ The signature beef ribs are super tender and fall right off the bone. Paired with the chewy noodles, it's incredibly satisfying. I finally got to try the Yellow Millet Rice Cake I missed last time in Arcadia Soft and chewy, drizzled with osmanthus syrup--lightly sweet, refreshing, and perfect for cutting through the richness. I liked it so much I ordered another one to go The steamed dumplings are HUGE! Just a heads-up when ordering--thin wrappers, super generous filling Besides pork and beef, they also have sea urchin & shrimp dumplings, which are surprisingly rare here. Super fresh and definitely worth trying I also asked about youmian (oat noodles), which I used to have back in China--the staff said they might add it to the menu soon! Overall, the soft opening combo is a great deal. If you love noodles and carb-heavy comfort food, this place is definitely worth checking out‼

    Wow! We had the most amazing hand pulled chili noodles here. Its packed full of flavors and very easy to eat. We went with their most popular chili oil beef rib noodles, popcorn chicken, and their crunchy pancake wrap braised pork sandwich? Forgot what it was called, but everything was delicious. A must try!

    Minced Pork Hand Pulled Noodle (2 servings eaten). Container was packed full in the beginning.
    Dave A.

    First time, will try again. It was more regional style than generic PF Chang / Panda style chinese Minced Pork Hand Pulled noodles were good with the fresh noodles having the texture you'd expect. 5-spice is the predominant flavor. Its pork belly and more diced than minced so you get those fatty bits. Scallion pancake was ok, crispy and light, but had the least amount of scallion i've had. I'd eat it again, but it's more like paratha. Chinese Pork Burger was fun. Basically a Chinese pulled pork sandwich. 5-spice and pork was the flavor in a light fluffy/crispy bun. Could be a small meal on it's own. Pork Dumplings were really good with big pieces of ground meat and veg. The broth runs out when you bite kinda like XLB so eat with care. They are taking a beating on Google Maps reviews but many of those reviews don't make since, calling out waiting for table service, when there isn't any (order at the counter then sit). Either way they seemed to have worked out the Grand Opening kinks by the time we visited.

    Sweet and chili wings. Really good

    We got so excited to try the food that I forgot to take pictures of the meals and only got the dessert! The classic oil noodles were so good! They do have a combo with a drink and salad. Which we didn't want the jasmine tea drink and the waiter wouldn't let us switch. However the gentleman did say we can switch but we got charged for it anyways. So we payed for 4 drinks that we didn't like. Seems like the base for all drinks is Jasmine tea and we aren't fans. Skip the drink Plenty of space to sit. To go orders also available. Service was fast. Clean/new place.

    Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings)(8pcs)-(8pcs)

    Casual dining experience with lots of community seating options as well as to go ordering. Food comes out made to order. We ordered the "soft opening promo" including jasmine tea, a side salad, and the Beef Short Rib Oil Splashed Hand-Pulled Noodles! The deal is great with the salad and drink essentially being free. Portions were large and we split everything while still leaving full. Had a few hiccups with our order as the xiao long bao was forgotten and the uni and shrimp shumai ran out and needed to be substituted, after paying. Staff was apologetic and offered a coupon for our return, but I am excited to return to finally get to try the uni and shrimp shumai, because I heard great things. The chili oil pulled noodles were by far the most flavorful thing on the menu. Soft and tender beef, good inclusion of vegetables such as bean sprouts and bok choy and low spice level, but good depth of flavors. The soup dumplings were great, but I would skip the cucumber salad as it wasn't noteworthy.

    The food is super yummy and delicious. I feel like I go back to China and enjoy hometown food

    This spot really has potential to be a five star restaurant - the food here is one of the best, very authentic Chinese food in Orange County. The beef noodles were very tasty and well seasoned - noodles themselves were nice and chewy with an amazing texture. The dumplings were also served very fresh and dumpling wrapper was super fresh too and stuffed with a lot of filling. Also enjoyed the jasmine green tea that came with the combo meal. The tomato oat noodles also had amazing texture and soup was comforting. The only reason for the 4 star was the service was really slow despite there not being many people in the restaurant. Instead of having each dish come out at a regular pace, we finished each dish one by one and waited a while for the next to come (we were also a little disappointed that a table that came in after us with the same number of party got two of their dumpling dishes served before us despite us only ordering three dumplings). When the server checked in on us, she told us they were out of dumpling skin for one specific type of dumpling even though we ordered another style. So I believe they may have forgot our order or thought it was another dumpling dishes on accident, which an apology would have sufficed. However they recently opened so will give them benefit of the doubt - it felt a little hectic and slow with the pace of the food coming. But overall I would come back when they've been open a little longer and have worked out the kinks because of how delicious everything was! Would still highly recommend the food here.

    Oil splashed noodles. Look at how sad this looks because the bowl is too deep so none of the oil actually sits on the noodles.

    UPDATE: owner replied to my original review below, honestly sounds like the reply was AI-generated. However, hopefully positive changes are made and xibei eatery improves. I really wanted to support and like this spot....but a lot has to improve. Here is my take: The way the ordering system operates right now sucks. You have an order at the front system, but don't have someone dedicate only to the register. You don't even have a bell or something to notify the staff that there are customers in line, so customers either stand there sheepishly waiting or they go have a seat and are escorted back to the front to order. Just really inefficient and baffling. I could tell that the Chinese customer that arrived right after us was pissed when he got escorted back to the front. Next, the person taking orders at the front has good energy and was the only positive thing about my whole experience. I really felt bad for her because she had to both take orders at the front, handle payment, and serve dishes. You have this girl running around everywhere knowing that if customers get pissed, its probably going to be at her, unjustly, because that girl is one of the only people customers are interacting with. Regarding the food: if you're going to serve those oil splashed noodles, figure out the portion or serving bowl. The current bowl ya'll are using is too deep and better used for soup noodles. The amount of noodles you give is not set up to soak up the oil and flavor since the oil just sits at the bottom since the bowl is too deep and noodles are too thick to be able to mop up the flavor. Ya'll are adding new menu items when you don't have your main menu items figured out yet. This impacts your front of house as well as your customers because there are so many items with modifications yet whatever comes out to the guests is subpar. Also, I ordered the side-size of the braised pork belly and rice, all that came out was the pork which is confusing. Figure out your identity, your portions, and your staffing. I want to root for this spot but this first experience was genuinely really bad. I came here with my brother and spent 60$ for 2 people and we left baffled+ disappointed. i just remembered the cashier's name: Blue. Blue was great, and had good energy. Treat them well and get them some support. Ya'll are wrong for having her run around while handling ordering and cash handling. If ya'll can't handle running 3 tables competently, how are you supposed to handle a rush or a weekend properly? The food wasn't horrible, but there are so many details about the food that have to be figured out. Please read my review and please make changes.

    Oil splashed noodles
    Jhovany S.

    Finally something took over where the Bite Mi was located. The hand pulled noodles caught our eyes, and we finally got a chance to stop and try their food. Since they are still in their soft opening phase, it seems like they might have a limited menu still. We ordered a few things for takeout since they were taking professional pictures of their food. We ordered the oil splashed noodles, the scallion pancakes, salt and pepper chicken, hot and sour soup, and a jasmine milk tea. The oil splashed noodles were the star of the meal. You can really tell that the noodles are hand pulled and made to order. Just a heads up, they the pack quite a punch, so be warned. The salt and pepper chicken was standard, just also packed quite a kick compared to others we have had. The scallion pancakes were nice and crispy. The hot and sour soup was quite good, and we got a generous portion for it being the small size. The jasmine milk tea was good, not too sweet but a tad bit over steeped. We also got two jumbo dumplings with our order, an offer they have for their soft opening. You can see them being made fresh. Definitely a great place to get some delicious Chinese food, just be warned; it can get kind of spicy. Looking forward to trying some of their other dishes soon

    So good.

    Can always rely on the consistency of flavor and quality here…read more Cant go wrong with any if their dry dishes

    Bottom Line Up Front: If you love mala (the numbing and…read morespicy seasoning derived from Sichuan peppercorn and chili peppers), Six Alley will deliver the heat! The Food: As its name denotes, Six Alley Xi'an Biang Biang Noodle specializes in noodles, which is handcrafted in house. Ironically enough, I decided to have one of their burgers instead because that's such an unusual option. Though, I can attest that the noodles are delicious after having a taste of my friend's noodles. Now, back to my burger. I ordered the Cumin Beef RoujiaMo, which is stir-fried beef mixed with cumin and chilies and served on a crispy flatbread. It's listed on the menu under Asian burgers, which is actually inaccurate. After all, there's no lettuce, tomato, mayo, or any condiments that one would come to expect from a burger. It's more accurate to call it a "Chinese sandwich," which would help set the right expectations. Semantics aside, the Cumin Beef RoujiaMo was tasty. The meat was tender and the flatbread was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. I quite enjoyed it. Just note, it is spicy! I asked the server how spicy and she said, "Mild." That's "Asian chili-lover mild," folks, not western mild. By American standards, it's more of a medium spice level. The Location: It's located in a small strip mall off MacArthur Boulevard near the 55 Freeway. It's not difficult to find, but it is difficult to find parking -- especially during peak hours on the weekend. To make matters worse, the parking stalls themselves are narrow. If you normally drive a large truck or a wide SUV, consider taking a sedan or smaller vehicle if you have one. The Service: For an Asian establishment, the customer service was surprisingly solid. I say this as an Asian myself; old-school Chinese restaurants are known for having employees with non-existent customer service. But this crew was young and understood that being friendly was essential for western restaurants. The staff didn't check up on us or offer exceptional service, but they were accommodating and knowledgeable when whenever I flagged them down. The Setting: Even though it's a smallish-medium restaurant, there's a decent amount of tables to accommodate a decent number of people at one time. It's clean and nicely decorated. However, the bathroom was another story. Sure, it had soap, paper towels, and toilet paper, but the back of the faucet was coming apart due to corrosion and it looked like the toilet bowl hadn't been scrubbed in months. Overall, a shocking sight considering how tidy the dining area was. The Conclusion: If you love spicy Chinese food, you'll love Six Alley. While I don't, the dish I had and the customer service was good enough for me to want to go back and try some of the other dishes. It was an enjoyable experience overall.

We've been here several times before and what keeps us coming back is the quality of the food. Today, they had a new chef cook our food and it was terrible. Green beans were extremely sour (way way too much vinegar). Mapo Tofu had a ton of oil but not enough sauce, so it was just flavorless except the oil. The fried pork chop was over fried where some pieces you can't even bite through. The rice had too much water in it and was mushy. I rarely return food but this time it was so bad we had to let them know. We returned all of our dishes back to them. They let us know there was a new chef today, and they would remake all the dishes for us with the original chef. The replacement dishes were just as good as all our previous visits and it was excellent again! So thanks to the staff for fixing the problem. I'm not sure if they are training a new chef to take over, or as a backup, but they need to be careful as serving bad quality food like that would drive most people to never come back. We knew the food was good from prior experience, so we knew we could ask why the food quality changed. For first time customers, or those that may have ordered to go - if you had bad food today, it may have been a fluke due to the new chef. Service however was a amazing as usual. For all our visits including today, the staff has been kind and always looking for ways to help out and make sure we were having a good experience. So besides the food being good, I would say excellent service is also huge plus here. Don't be fooled with the automated ordering and robot delivering the food into thinking there is no service. The people behind the counter are awesome! Hope management takes care of this new chef issue quickly since their food quality is the main reason people come here. There was a night and day difference between the original food we got today, and the replacement!

    Modern Chinese, Ancient Disappointment…read more EverSpring looks great, sounds great, and is priced like it plans to deliver something memorable. Unfortunately, what I'll remember most is how quickly my excitement turned into polite disappointment. The salt and pepper pork chops were...bold. And by bold I mean shockingly salty, like the chef was trying to preserve them for winter. I've had salt and pepper chops more times than I can count, and this version tasted nothing like any of them. Overcooked, oddly flavored, and just completely off. If this was a creative interpretation, creativity may have gone a step too far. Then there was the crispy beef. I say this with sincerity: it was inedible. Not "I'm picky" inedible--burned-breading-that-tastes-like-toasted-mistakes inedible. Each bite delivered a charming note of scorched regret, like someone deep-fried a crouton and called it a day. I stopped eating not because I was full, but because my taste buds filed an HR complaint. And look, if this were cheap comfort food, I'd shrug it off. But this is sit-up-straight-when-the-bill-arrives pricing. For what we paid, I expected at least one dish to make me say, "Okay, this works." That moment never came. The concept is solid, but the food just didn't deliver. I wanted to love it. My taste buds, however, requested an early exit. Everything went to the trash can. Never again.

Massive parking lot so that was easy, one friend went ahead and let them know we had 10 incoming. They made room and we sat immediately. 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.

The service was fast and they were constantly checking on my friend and i if we were ready. Food came out in about 10 minutes~, even though we were talking a lot the food was still really hot. We got the scallion oil noodles (I forgot what they're called), gyudon bowl, and 2 servings of dumplings! My friend and I were stuffed and we eat a lottttt. We also had their drinks which weren't bad for $6.50. He had the strawberry matcha and I had the jasmine tea with crystal boba! For take out, the food was packed neatly & the set of condiments and utensils they provide is really good. It felt a little more "higher end" of a take out place. My friends and I ordered about the same things we did inside the restaurant, cucumber salad, and the wonton with chili oil. Our favorite was the chili oil wontons & we regret not ordering more. Fed three people!

They don't have many table to seat large parties (3+) they mostly have bar seating and the booth seating is pretty tightly packed so just a heads up that if you have a larger party you might need to wait longer. Luckily I got sat in their few middle tables that were spacious. I was able to order quickly and the workers are nice and gave me recommendations. Passion fruit green tea and this was definitely my favorite thing I ordered that day the drink was so light, refreshing, flavorful, but not too sweet the passion fruit seeds being in the drink was annoying though. (4/5) Spicy XLB they came out quick but I wished they were hotter they were just warm but delicious flavor and filling sadly was not spicy though no kick no heat at all. (3/5) Beef rolls nice and crispy lots of scallions and the cucumbers added a nice fresh aspect and crunch but needed more sauce. (3/5) Pan fried dumplings took the longest to come out were crispy but not that flavorful again very filling though. (2/5) Golden prime beef noodle soup I'm sorry but this was just not for my taste at all I can't even describe what flavor the soup was something I have never had before very unique. The noodles were nice and chewy but again I'm expecting soup to be hot but it just came out warm. (1/5) They had some sauce and chili oil on the table and I made a mix but it did not help add flavor to any of the items. I ordered too much and the leftover beef rolls and pan fried dumplings reheated well in the air fryer.

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.

    Whenever I'm in Garden Grove, Korean and Vietnamese cuisine will always take precedence. However,…read moremy most recent trip pivoted from the norm, and Noodle Star became the destination. The end result? Reasonable prices, warm service, and very tasty food. Like so many Chinese restaurants, the name and theme is inherently confusing. Up until last year, the place was Harbor Garden and it's rebranded to Noodle Star ever since. The Chinese name ("川粵" aka "Chuan Yue") would imply there is a Sichuan + Cantonese component to the offerings, despite the words "teppanyaki" and handmade noodles (手工麵) noted on the exterior as well as on signs on the interior. Typically any restaurant that dabbles in multiple regional Chinese variations (Sichuan, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Lanzhou, etc.) is a huge flight risk. Surprisingly, it all worked out. All of my orders were from different regions of the country, starting with a Cantonese beef chow fun (乾炒牛河) that was delightfully smokey from the wok hei (#1) and the noodles and beef were silky and smooth. While the noodles aren't as wide as I would have liked, they were still 100% workable in the dish. The Taiwanese style popcorn chicken (鹽酥雞) was wonderfully fried and the chicken was still juicy on the inside. Their napa cabbage + shrimp + pork steamed dumplings (白菜豬肉蝦水餃) were pillowy soft and steamed perfectly. They were plump and not too doughy; which is very appropo for a northern Chinese dish. The biggest surprise may have come from the soup dumplings (小籠包), which had just the right amount of soup and a very delicate dumpling skin that was downright excellent. The service was kind, attentive, and very bilingual with Mandarin and English. Prices might feel high to non-Cali folks, but the spectrum is very much on the Socal average. (#2). Bathrooms were mostly clean and the seating options were plentiful; solid for large and small group action. Parking can be tough on the weekends since it's a strip mall. I already know that I'll be back. If I was able to order 4 regions and they all came out excellent (#3), I can only imagine how excellent the rest of the house special group of dishes will be. __________ (#1) "Essence of the wok" -- it's a thing. (#2) At $15-19 for most dishes. (#3) Did we get lucky?

I found several options, but some were out of my budget and others didn't have great reviews. I came across KPB and spoke with Jerry, who was incredibly helpful and honest. He gave great advice on how much food to order for a group of 18 people. I originally planned to order four party trays (fried rice and three entrées), but he suggested that three trays would be enough. He was also very accommodating and gave me until the morning of the event to finalize my order. I ended up ordering Mongolian beef, Kung Pao chicken, and Young Chow fried rice. Everyone really enjoyed the food, and we even had some leftovers that we were able to enjoy the next day. The food was delicious, the pricing was reasonable, and the service was excellent. Highly recommended--Jerry truly made the catering experience smooth and stress-free!

I have previously been to the Hong Kong Express in Westminster that ended up going somewhat viral on TikTok, but I believe this place isn't really affiliated. When we came in, the store was packed. We were in line behind like 8-10 people which was surprising for a Chinese takeout spot like this. We saw that they were running a deal that got you free 4pc egg rolls and 2 fountain drinks when you order 3 Combo B's, which we were planning on doing anyways. The service and ordering experience was a fairly standard hectic process, but we got our food no problem. A couple of us got the pictured order with Jalapeño chicken and beef and broccoli. I would definitely recommend those items over some of their others. My friend got the barbecue pork and hot orange chicken, both of which were pretty big misses in our opinion. The pork only had a few tender pieces, and the orange chicken was fully soggy. At a place like this though, I think it'd be wise to just order whatever looks the freshest. The place wasn't the cleanest or quietest, but considering we got 3 huge plates of food, 4 egg rolls, and 2 drinks for under $40, I'm more than happy with our experience.

The beef and broccoli was just okay as well. What I liked the most about this dish was that the broccoli was still crunchy! Good job guys! Service was quick! I was in and out in less than 7 minutes.
