    Shumai !
    Jay L.

    So yummy! It was a hot day and a little warm in the restaurant but food was still so good! Will definitely be back! Love the shumai wrapper it was so thin and chewy!

    Uni and Shrimp, Zucchini & Egg Shumai(6pcs)-(6pcs)

    I rarely give 1-star reviews, but the crime they committed here warranted nothing less. While we were eating at a booth, there was a cockroach running right behind us! We tried to catch it, but it hid in a corner between the wall and the wall light fixture. The staff could not get to it, and advised that we moved to another table. And so without their help, we had to move every dish and food ourselves to a nearby table. Then we saw another group of patrons come and sit in that very same booth. The staff acted like nothing happened and only apologized. They didn't close the booth, didn't offer to help us move - nothing. I suspect this is a recurring issue, since the staff didn't do anything about it. The only thing good about this place was the uni and shrimp shumai- it was flavorful and well balanced. None of the other food tasted particularly good, even before we saw the roach. Definitely would not recommend or return.

    Minced Pork Rice Bowl-
    Parker L.

    Food - ordered the short rib oil splashed noodles, minced pork belly, and a lemonade. The noodle dish was extremely flavorful and the noodles had good texture and weren't too chewy. The short rib wasn't that good, it could've been more tender or it would've been better pulled and more integrated in the dish. The pork belly was extremely tender and the fat literally melted in my mouth and the fried whole egg was interesting. The lemonade wasn't store bought and was actually really good (as someone who orders a lemonade nearly everywhere) it had a good ratio of sweet to sour and complemented the dishes overall. I think what makes the dishes so good is that it genuinely feels like I'm in China. The flavors are so spot on especially for a random restaurant I found in Santa Ana. I was going to gatekeep this place because it's lowkey and fire. Service - you order food at the front and get seated and they bring the food to you so there isn't much service but the people are nice Ambiance - the interior is nice and well lit it's definitely kept well Im giving it a 4/5 because I think some of the dishes still have room for improvement even though they are fantastic. Realistically I would give this place like a 4.5, the yelp rating is extremely accurate for the quality of this restaurant.

    Chinese pork burger
    Kenny L.

    We had the xiao long bao, beef short rib hand pulled noodles, sesame paste flat noodles, and Chinese pork burger. There were about 5 noodle strands, but they were all super long where I can hold it to my face and they were still long enough to touch the bowl. The flavor and texture of the noodles were pretty nice and it was my favorite thing to eat. Xiao long bao were decent, though some of them did not have that much soup in there. The Chinese pork burger had a nice crunchy texture on the buns. The sesame noodles seemed lacking in flavor so we just mixed the spicy sauce from the hand pulled noodles. Though I will say some of the food came out at different times like 20 mins after.

    Their minced pork rice bowl and beef short rib oil hand pulled noodle is a must try :) the hand pulled noodle is huge portion, fresh and good spice Friendly service and clean modern interior

    Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings)(8pcs)-(8pcs)
    Stephen B.

    I love hand-cut noodles, so I was excited to hear Xibei Eatery opened nearby. The interior is more upscale than the surrounding shopping center suggests, with a polished, modern feel you might find at South Coast Plaza. The noodle-making station up front adds personality and lets you watch the noodles being made before they hit your bowl. We were warmly welcomed and seated, though ordering is done via tablet, which removes some of the traditional restaurant interaction. We started with the scallion pancake, which was light, crisp, and fluffy. The Xiao Long Bao dumplings were pretty good, though Orange County has so many strong dumpling spots that it's a tough category to stand out in. The wonton soup was tasty, but the portion was a bit disappointing, with rather small wontons. My favorite dish was the oil-splashed hand-cut noodles, which had a nice thickness and chewy texture, served with two meaty ribs and a spicy oil glaze. While flavorful and satisfying, the food was a bit too rich for my tastes. Oil features prominently in several dishes, which can make things feel heavy. That said, I'll definitely be back. There's still plenty on the menu I want to try!

    Pork & Cabbage Shumai (but i don't see cabbage, instead there's corn??)
    Anna W.

    You order at the front and then find a spot to sit. The inside is pretty spacious, with a long table for bigger parties and some smaller tables. The biang biang noodles were pretty good, but it was basically just noodles in a chili oil sauce with boiled broccoli. The xiu mai wasn't very authentic either, and the filling was kind of interesting with corn in it. Overall, it's not a bad place, but it's also not somewhere I'd go out of my way to eat at.

    Beef & Onion Shumai(3pcs)-(3pcs)
    Brad O.

    XIBEI Eatery was a solid find, especially if you're a fan of hand-pulled noodles and dumplings. The Beef Short Rib Oil Splashed Hand-Pulled Noodles were savory with a pleasant little kick of spice. The noodles themselves were the star--wonderfully toothsome with that satisfying al dente chew you want from hand-pulled noodles. The oil-based sauce was flavorful, although a bit thin for my taste. I'm firmly in the "give me extra sauciness" camp, so I would've loved a little more sauce clinging to those noodles. The beef short rib, however, needed no improvement. Deliciously tender and practically falling apart in my mouth. Definitely a highlight. The soup dumplings delivered where it counts: they were nicely soupy! The assorted handmade shumai were generously meaty as well, although I didn't pick up much of the vegetable profile in the beef and onion version. My biggest suggestion would be to expand the dipping sauce department. Soy sauce and vinegar were the only options available, and while perfectly serviceable, these dumplings deserve a little more excitement. A ginger-based sauce--or really two or three different dipping options--would be a welcome addition for both the shumai and soup dumplings. Give us something to dip, mix, and experiment with! The restaurant itself is nicely appointed and there were plenty of tables available during my visit. The setup is casual and easy: order at the counter first, grab a seat, put your number on the table, and your food is delivered to you. Overall, some very good flavors, excellent noodle texture, tender short rib, and properly soupy dumplings. A few extra sauce options would kick things up another notch. Give XIBEI Eatery a try! Don't forget to try their refreshing smoothies.

    Saw an add for this place a few months ago and finally made it. The location was a little small, but the decor was cute. Everything seemed clean. We ordered the Cucumber Salad, the Minced Pork Oil Splashed Hand Pulled Noodles, the Dan Dan Noodles, the Uni & Shrimp Shu Mai, and the Xiao Long Bao. From best to least: Uni & Shrimp Shu Mai - uniquely delicious. We ordered 3, but next time, I would order the whole basket. The taste was so on point and delicious. The Oil Splashed Noodles - so chewy and delicious. They had the best mouth feel, so rich and luxurious. The minced pork was delicious, too, but ended up sitting at the bottom of the bowl to be taken home. It was delicious, but unnecessary. Next time, I'm going to order the Classic. Dan Dan Noodles -these were good with a great sesame aroma. If we had had them anywhere else, I would have said they were excellent, but compared to the hand-pulled Noodles, they were only good. I would order them again if the location was out of the other Noodles. Xiao Long Bao - better than Paradise, not as good as DTF. They had the sane flavor profile as TJs. I would eat them again if other items were sold out. Cucumber Salad - very simple. It was edible, but the simplest Cucumber Salad I've ever eaten. Its the first time Ive met a Cucumber Salad I didn't love. Would not buy again. Alejandra took our order and briught us water refills. She was so sweet and kind. She knew the menu well and gave us excellent recommendations. She was quite delightful!

    Scallion pancake
    Raven R.

    Came here for dinner. The staff is friendly and very helpful with giving suggestions and answering questions. The place is clean with pretty decor. We started with scallion pancake and cucumber salad. For our mains, we got uni and shrimp shumai and pork xiao long bao. Finished it with the crispy millet bomb. Uni and Shrimp Shumai- This was a fun and unique flavor! The uni and shrimp blend was tasty and everything felt fresh. Wonderful presentation too. Pork Xiao Long Bao- Can't beat a classic. Pork was savory and with a good amount of broth. Served fresh and hot. Scallion Pancake- Pancake has the perfect thickness and texture with the crispy top. You get a lovely scallion flavor with each bite. Cucumber Salad- This was a wonderful palate cleanser. Cucumber is crisp and refreshing. Dressing was a nice blend of sweet and savory. Crispy Millet Bomb- This was a fun surprise! You get a crisp edge with a chewy interior. The best part was the lava brown sugar center that had just the right amount of sweetness. Great experience overall!

    Been wanting to try this restaurant ever since they opened. Found a really good buy one, get one free uber eats deal for pick up. Definitely a tasty option in Orange as every food is made from scratch. Next time, definitely going to try the restaurant for dine in.

    Ordered takeout so cannot comment on service and ambience. Food was horrible. Chicken was barely seasoned + was cooked in watered down broth while potatoes were undercooked and stiff. Spicy noodles were watered down. Expensive given the quality of food and portions. Why is half my bowl just rice for $20+?

    Daph H.

    Great hand-pulled noodles at Xibei Eatery! The oil-splashing noodles were nice and chewy and not as spicy as it looked. Also got the beef brisket noodle soup, which was good - though I think next time I'll get the hand-pulled noodles instead. Interior is clean and modern. You order at the counter and are given a number to take with you to your table. Service is great and they will check on you after you get your food to make sure all is good. Plenty of parking in the lot!

We ordered stir fried string beans, orange chicken, crispy beef, and salt and pepper fish filet. My least favorite was the crispy beef, mostly because it didn't even taste like I was eating much. I probably should have gotten a different beef dish, otherwise everything else was pretty good. They have a robot delivering food to the tables. They do have someone at the front desk area if you have any questions or need hot water for teas.

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.
