The Most Scrumptious Chinese in Anaheim

Happy Valley Village

★★★★☆ 4.3 (383) • $$$

"Unique dining experience for sure! I kept getting Instagram ads for this restaurant and couldn't help wanting to go here because of the cute geese I keep seeing. Apparently if you follow them on WeChat or join their rewards program, you can get special deals, discounts, and some of their cute geese merch. When we went on July 4th Saturday, it was a busy restaurant, but our friend go there earlier than us and was able to reserve a spot for 6 and it was in one of their neat booth seating with interesting traditional art all around. The atmosphere was quite loud and lively. You can easily call over their staff for different reasons (water, service, check, etc.) with the call button. Although we wanted to try the goose stew, it was a bit pricier than our range and we opted for something that would be easier for the group to consume. Alas, we also forgot to order the cornbread that is cooked on the side of the hotpot, but I guess it was alright as we were quite full from what we ordered that night. We got the: 1) Hawthorne Soda: -I haven't seen this before and wanted to try it out, but I'm sure you can get this at any Chinese grocery market. -Tastes exactly like Haw flakes but in a soda form, quite nostalgic. 2) Fried Pork with Sweet and Sour Sauce: -Probably my FAVORITE iteration of fried pork with sweet and sour sauce. Most of the times when I've had this dish before the sauce was way too thick and syrupy but this version has a lighter version of the sauce and the exterior was thin and nicely crisp. There's a slight chewiness to the breading too, making it super yummy. -Would definitely go here just to get this again. 3) Shovel Stir Fry Lamb: -This ACTUALLY comes out in a shovel, which is neat for photos. -Deliciously seasoned chunks of lamb that's nice and moist and tender. -Came with a good amount of stir fried bell pepper as well. -Tasted great with the extra rice we got too. 4) Five Vegetable and Cold Noodle: -Another hit with our table. -Noodles were flat and had a nice chewy texture to them that absorbed the peanut butter sauce well. -Lots of julienned chopped veggies and scrambled egg as well. -The waiter mixed it for us too. -Perfect for a hot summer day. 5) Pickled Cabbage Stewed with Pork: -For 6 people we got the serving for 2 people and it was enough to feed all of us, especially with everything else that we ordered beforehand. -The stew comes with Chinese sauerkraut, pork rib, pork belly, and frozen tofu. -They put a timer on your table and it'll go off when it's ready to eat, just know that it's going to be SUPER hot.-Lots of tofu, cabbage, and pork belly within, along with bone in meat too. I enjoyed the pork belly and the pickled taste is nice and sour, aka refreshing with everything else we ordered. -We ordered an extra helping of rice to balance out everything that we ordered. -It was enough for 2 bowls of stew, meat, and tofu for each person, with some of our table clearing out the rest of the stew. Wouldn't mind stopping here again!"

Tasty Xi'an

★★★★☆ 4.2 (96)

"Food is delicious and very fresh! Flavor is good and good portion size. Got takeout from this place recently and the food was very good. Got 2 different kind of the meat filled buns and the egg tomatoe noodles. Everything was made fresh inhouse from scratch. Noodle was soft and bouncy exactly the way it should be. The buns were also super delicious and the meat with the sauce was on point. Parking was easy in strip mall. Highly recommend the food here!"

"Their Chinese food is the best I've ever had anywhere in America!!! Hands down!! I'm talking, from California to Maine. The best ever!!!"

New China Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (172) • $$

"Came here on a Friday around 12:45pm. The ambiance is very calm, no music. You are welcomed by the host, who is also the server. She asked if we were picking up or dinning in. If we preferred a booth or a table. She greeted with a smile. There was one other group at the restaurant. Food: Orange chicken is a MUST! Full of flavor. You could tell it was freshly prepared and was warm when it came to the table. Plenty of chicken. Sizzling Black Pepper Fillet Mignon was AMAZING! plenty of meat for 2-3 people. The price was exceptional. It was a bit spicy due to the peppery kick, but savory nonetheless. Kung Pao Three Flavor, my least favorite dish, only because there was a buttery brown sauce which homogenized the ingredients. Ordered a side of steamed rice to pair nicely with all the meats. Honestly it was all amazing! It fed three of us and is reasonable priced, for the generous amount of food. We did have left overs to take home. Definitely recommend to come check out this little gem."

Joshua Camping Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (246) • $$

"Joshua Camping Restaurant offers a unique dining experience but the food was a bit of a let down.I secured myself a spot on the waitlist through the Yelp app about 30 minutes before showing up on a Friday night. Once we arrived, the place was almost all full so seemed like a good idea. The front part of the restaurant is more like a typical bar, but as you go in, there are several cute tents with the fake moon hanging above. I was glad we were able to get a spot at the tent otherwise I am not sure it would have been worth visiting.In terms of food, the menu definitely has more of a bar vibe and the portion sizes are more snack like so if you are hungry, I would probably recommend ordering more. Lamb Skewers/Beef Skewers (3/5) These both came out the same time after ordering. They both have the same schezuan like seasoning to them that does make them super flavorful, but it kind of overpowered them so you couldn't tell the meats apart. Wouldn't mind getting these again but would try to pay attention to which was which.Golden Buns (4.5/5) Probably the one reason I would come back! These were surprisingly good. Baked with a nice golden exterior but fluffy and light in the middle. It comes with a simple dipping sauce that really elevates it. Cucumber salad (3.5/5) I did appreciate the spicy sauce that was a little bit sweet but standardThe ordering was all done on the phone which was pretty convenient! The service was okay, but understandably harder when there is a tent blocking the view! I also got a little annoyed that by the end it started to smell like someone was smoking cigarettes.Overall, I would say this a neat concept that I am glad I checked out, but would not have to come again. If I did, it would be for the Golden Buns!"

Yoo's Place

★★★★☆ 4.3 (372) • $$

"We recently tried Yoo's Place, and I have to say, it was an excellent experience! It's a relatively new restaurant, but it's very clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. We usually frequent BCD Tofu House, but we decided to give this place a shot, and we're so glad we did!We ordered tofu soup, cold noodles, and the tteokbokki with ramen, and everything was absolutely fantastic. The portions were huge, and the tofu soup was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The broth was rich, complex, and tasted homemade. It even came out boiling hot, which I love for soups--it made the experience so much better.The cold noodles were also delicious, with fresh veggies that were perfect on a warm winter day in Southern California. The tteokbokki with ramen was another highlight. The portion was massive, easily enough for four people! My sister and I shared it, and we were both impressed by the generous serving and flavor.One nice touch is the free bone broth on the side. It's perfect if you're feeling under the weather or just prefer something warm to drink instead of cold water. You can have as much as you'd like, which is such a thoughtful addition. The sides were also fantastic--the kimchi was fresh, and they even had sides I'd never tried before.Overall, I highly recommend Yoo's Place. The portions are generous, the food is delicious and fresh, and the prices are very reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back!"

An Noodles and Pho

★★★★★ 4.9 (26)

"Saw the sign in front of An Noodles and Pho before it was open, and waited in anticipation for the grand opening. It was finally time to visit this new La Mirada restaurant and explore its interesting fusion cuisine.We were warmly greeted by Jay who took our order, and a few minutes later had the pleasure of meeting Antoine the owner, who is not only super friendly, but also amazingly passionate about the food they prepare.We ordered the grilled pork vermicelli, the house special pho and the bulgogi ribeye sandwich (banmi). The pho broth was incredibly tasty and it was served with generous amounts of beef, basil, bean sprouts and not to mentions loads of noodles... it was a very big bowl!The grilled pork vermicelli was a complete surprise, as it did not have the standard thinly sliced grilled pork, but rather thick pieces of multilayer grilled pork with a crispy top and deeply marinated in some kind of lemon grass sauce. Not only was it juicy, but exploding with fantastic flavor unlike anything we've tasted before... an incredible find and a taste buds treasure to be sure. Almost forgot... the egg roll was out of this world too, a very unique taste experience.The humble bulgogi ribeye sandwich did not disappoint. The bread was perfectly flaky outside and soft inside while loaded with lots of veggies a super scrumptious and tender marinated ribeye.We are happy that An Noodles and Pho decided to open this location in La Mirada, and is now going to be one of our go to Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Can't wait to try all of their other dishes, it is going to be an incredible culinary adventure each and every time! Great food, great folks, great ambiance... what else do you need?"

"I've been coming here since my nephew's birthday party and they have private rooms. They have the best black bean noodles!! It's always on point and so delicious!! There's not a lot of places that make this dish right. I would drive out here just for this noodle. I came out today to have a takeout for my mum, she loves their noodle as well and it happens to be her birthday month. Service is very good. And they upgraded their interior so it looks very nice, too. Come and check it out!!"

Sun's Mongolian BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.4 (67)

"Heard about several new restaurant locations opening up in the Covina area. Today we wanted to try Sun's. This is like almost all Mongolian BBQ's, same concept one round flat grill and the cook takes your meal and cooks it up nice and hot. This location is in another strip mall with a few major eating locations in the same mall. Parking can get congested at times (Saturdays and Sundays because of Chunky Cheese in the area) Handicapped parking stalls are two maybe three. They share parking with other businesses. Not yet rated so no letter grade in the window at the time we were there. Walking in seen a few people making and having food. Several tables and chairs enough for approximately 25-30 and seemed clean. We were greeted by a worker behind the counter and he was very nice and we asked how this all works. Yes they weight your food which isn't that expensive. A lot of options to choose from the hot grill or take out. We made our way to a self serve take out and proceeded to make our choices. Everything looked clean and food seemed fresh. Three plates to go and it was way under $35.00 !!! Hard to get this much food for a family of three for under $35.00. They also have catering available at very affordable prices. A few things I hope they take care of. HOT !!! The temperature inside the restaurant was very HOT. This is obvious because of the open flat top grill they cook some meals on. I had BBQ Pork, Orange Chicken and noodles. The BBQ Pork had some good taste to them but over salted for my taste. Noodles just didn't taste right, very dry. I'm sure some people like salt on their food and that's fine but I don't use salt at all on my food. I would say check this place out, it might be your new location for Mongolia BBQ !!!!! So here's how Sun's Mongolia BBQ in Covina, in my opinion, stacks up. Appearance: 6 of 10 (Hot inside) Food: 8 of 10Staff: 10 of 10 Returning: 8 of 10 Until next time,Stanley.."

"We got food to go and I am very happy to report that the food is just as good eaten at home as it is ordered in the restaurant. These guys are experts at what they do.The seafood boil is sooo good. They pack it so carefully with aluminum and plastic to prevent spillage in transit. These are some thoughtful, proactive people here.This place is worth slogging through traffic for. That's saying a lot!"

Mama Lu Dumpling House

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"Solid Chinese spot. Less busy than the OG location down the street. A decently large space inside plenty of seating to handle small to medium sized groups. Came in for dinner with some friends. The spicy wontons are my fav. The fried rice and crispy noodles are great options for the whole table. Big menu so there's something for everyone. Service is ok. Staff is very efficient. There's parking behind the building or a small underground garage."

"When you have a craving for Chinese food better than Panda and are looking for big portions this is the spot to go. They absolutely fill your plate and the food is decent quality for what you pay. Do be cautious to watch the pricing, most visits are fine but I have had the cashier try and overcharge me"

Lucky Fortune Cookery

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (403) • $$

"This just became my favorite at California Adventure. I ordered the birria ramen, it was very good. It was just a bit too salty for me, however the soup flavor was very good. I never ever thought I would have a boba drink inside the park, I ordered the three milk ube tea with boba and yes it was good. The boba was very soft and chewy, it's the way I liked it. All seating was outdoors, it is the common area for the eatery at San Fransokyo. As usual, the workers at the counter delivered great Disney customer service."

LAN Noodle

★★★★☆ 4.1 (456) • $$

"This place is on the smaller size, but the food here packed tons of flavor. Authentic chinese noodle soups that were both spicy and flavorful. Their popcorn chicken was amazing, it was super crunchy and had amazing flavor as well. Service was quick and the workers were nice and helpful. They don't check up on your table often, but it's enough where ur water is always refilled and flings are taken off the table. There's no music in the store, so most noise is just people talking in the store."

"The food is Amazing. I highly recommend the Won Ton soup!! It's probably the best in town. I've tried others won ton soup and have not been able to find a close 2nd. Any time I feel a cold coming o, I drive all the way across town to this little hole in the wall for the Best Won Ton soup."

"I loved everything I order, the walnut shrimp were so big and juicy, Crispy and fresh! The black bean noodle are delicious, I recommend adding more onions for the flavor, the orange chicken, upgrade from Panda Express for sure! Haha, my friend have been eating here for like the past 20 years, so that's says something!The selection, the portion, the taste, the service, what more can you ask for? We drop our Togo plastic bag on the floor and the waiter immediately picked up and gave us a new one, awww"

Crab Time

★★★★☆ 4.2 (49)

"Food: we got the fried rice, mala spicy crab, the crawfish noodles, the sautéed cabbage, the egg yolk crab, the clams, and the passion fruit drink. Everything we got was so fresh and delicious! You know the chef really cares about the quality of food and that's so important when you're eating seafood. The mala spicy crab was the star of the show if you like spicy. The numbing spice was addictive and spicy! I really loved the egg yolk crab if you don't like spicy. My husband's favorite things were the egg yolk crab and the fried rice. He said it was on the of the best fried rices he's had. He even encouraged me to ask for the recipe from the chef. Hahaha. Needless to say we will be back for the food! Service: We got waited on by two lovely ladies. They were so sweet and super attentive. The staff helped us with some suggestions. The menu is in Chinese and I'm not the best with reading Chinese. Ambiance: The restaurant has a small amount of tables. They do a lot of take out but we dined in. The tables were clean and minimalistic. It's a casual dining restaurant where people eat family style. It's a restaurant where you eat with your hands. They provide gloves so your hands don't get spicy so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it reminded me of eating seafood in Asia without the long flight. Tldr; I would recommend this place. I will be bringing my friends here. I am a stickler for quality and I am willing to pay for freshness. I still crave the crab, clams, and fried rice. So so good. Trust me!"

Top Island

★★★★☆ 3.5 (6)

"The restaurant space has reopened as Top Island. We frequented the previous establishment. The restaurant and parking were packed, we had lunch for eight and ordered several dim sum dishes. The room is big and there were a lot of families gathering for Sunday lunch. I got my staples, porridge, BBQ pork buns, gailan. I thought the food was good but my Chinese wife said the food was too salty and greasy. I liked the food here and the service was pretty good too!"

Ma's House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (426) • $$

"The service could have been better. The waiter didn't really check in on us and didn't appear to be too friendly. Aside from that, the food was good! The portion sizes are huge! Two people can share a plate! We ordered the beef with green onions and chicken fried rice."

Boston Lobster

★★★★☆ 4.4 (124)

"This Chinese restaurant is located on Colima at the corner of Nogales. Around the building is the 99 Cent Store, which is closed....rip. (Anyone remember Hot Star chicken??? That used to be here!)The original location is in Rosemead. Glad to see they have a second location now. I think the Chinese food style here is leaning toward Vietnamese/Cantonese.They do have an extensive menu, but they are obviously known for lobster. I highly recommend getting the house special lobster for your table! I was able to try 5-6 different dishes, and they were all pretty good. They have a few big tables for 8-10 people.Service was good. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Bathroom available.They have plenty of parking."

Paik’s Noodle

★★★★☆ 3.6 (77)

"Paik's Noodle, owned by Chef Jong Won Paik (one of the judges from Culinary Class Wars), provides korean-chinese comfort food in the H-Mart located in North Irvine. And does it deliver!!Paik's is known for its Jajangmyeon (fermented black bean noodle stir-fry) and Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup). Their noodles in all of their dishes are perfectly chewy, and satisfying for hearty noodle lovers. If you're new to these dishes, the noodles are like a mix between an udon and ramen noodle, typically using thick, wheat flour.The Jajangmyeon hits that spot when you want a comforting meal with an umami punch. This dish has a perfect balance of sweet and savory (more on the savory side), with flavors oozing from caramelized onions, the salty, smoky, and decadent fermented black bean, and a generous portion of elongated ground pork adding a nice meaty touch. For meat lovers, you can order this with extra meat, and for vegetarians, they offer the dish without meat at all. They even have a seafood version of this dish!The Jjampong uses the same noodles, swimming in a spicy broth infused with seafood umami. With muscles and chunks of tender squid and the occasional baby shrimp, the soup is so rich in flavor and satisfying. While there are other strong dishes here, the noodles are the star. And each dish is accompanied by Korean pickled radishes to provide fresh, crisp respite between indulgent bites.Sitting within the food court, there is no traditional service, but the staff are friendly and very quick - even during peak hours. It's easy enough to find seating, but during busy times, it's best to secure seating earlier if you can unless you plan to take the food to go.If you're looking for comforting, filling, and delightful noodles to switch up your Asian noodle-ventures between ramens, phos, pad thai, and more, you should explore the menu at Paik's. You might just find yourself hooked by the flavors - after all, that's Chef Paik's most important criteria when judging good food."

Ho Ho China Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (386) • $$

"Ho Ho has changed a bit over the years but continues to have tasty Chinese food. Lunch deals are the best. Better to order to go due to limited seating n challenging parking. Everything ordered so far has been on point."

MIAN

★★★★☆ 4.2 (670) • $$

"Had been wanting to check out Mian for awhile and finally had the opportunity to pay SCP and Mian a visit. Waited about 5 mins in the queue right outside the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm.The atmosphere is open and airy and a solid pick for small or larger groups.QR code on the table, scan in, and order via their easy to use platform. We ordered the spicy beef noodle soup, chili oil wontons, and beef roll pancake; opted for medium Sichuan spice for all the dishes which seemed to suit us well. All the items came out within 10ish mins and everything was really good. My overall ranking: 1) chili oil wontons 2) beef roll pancake 3) spicy beef noodle soup - but honestly, everything was flavorful and delicious. We asked for some chili oil on the side to dip the beef roll pancake. The pricing is decent as well, especially considering this is a poppin' spot in SCP. I'd be back to try different items."

KPB Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"Food is good and packaged well. The prices have gone up a lot since the last time I've been here and they charge extra if you get anything subbed for the white rice. There is the "individual" price and the "family style" price which is about $5 more, depending on what the item is. Online Ordering system makes it somewhat easy."

Orange Blossom Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (136) • $$

"My new go-to Chinese spot! Delicious food, great pricing, and attentive service. This location definitely has "small family owned" business vibes. I came in with a group for lunch, and to my surprise there was only one other group Dining. The lunch special is a great value and includes an entree (many options to choose from), soup, rice, wonton, and egg roll. The entrees I tried were: Mongolian beef, chicken chow mein, and honey walnut shrimp (which I ordered off of the dinner menu). Everything was delicious and had great portion size. It's hard to choose a favorite because everything was well flavored.(5/5) Mongolian beef was tender and flavorful. (5/5) walnut honey shrimp and perfect crisp and crunchiness, and great flavor that was slightly tangy. (5/5) chicken chow mein had a little thicker noodles, but was delicious. Definitely on the saltier side, but to be expected in this dish.(5/5) chicken fried rice was not the best I've had, but was a solid and tasty dish. Large portion size.There was one woman working, but she was friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking at lunch with no wait. You can pickup or dine in, white table cloth restaurant l, but not too fancy."

949 Grill Lounge

★★★★★ 4.6 (16)

"WOW! Hands down the best Chinese restaurant in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Would even rate it 15 out of 10.I've ordered the Beef & Pork Belly Skewers, Egg Fried Rice, Pork Short Rib Noodle Soup, and Small Glutinous Rice Balls from here and EVERY single dish here far exceeded every expectation I've had. I've been struggling to find good authentic Chinese food in the area that meet my standards, but this restaurant completely hit the nail on the head. Everything tastes exactly like all the amazing Chinese dishes I had growing up and reminds me so much of home! Not to mention the portion sizes and prices are very good.My heart and stomach are always full after eating from here. Will be supporting this restaurant over and over again!"

M JOY

★★★★★ 4.9 (111)

"Lamb lovers, M Joy is your temple. The lamb double rib plate at first glance may seem simple, but my god what a fantastic ode to lamb. Served on a fluffy bed of carrot studded rice, the ribs are absolutely divine. I honestly can not recall every tasting lamb this tender. It practically melts in your mouth. The plate is accompanied by a clear lamb broth, pickles, pickled carrots, pickled onions, and chili sauce. The restaurant while small, is very clean. The service is friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is quite relaxing. I didn't even notice the pleasant jazz playing at a low volume until I had finished my meal. If you enjoy lamb, make it a point to try M Joy."

Mr Rice Yunnan Rice Noodle

★★★★☆ 3.8 (148) • $$

"The noddles are pretty special and it is the traditional style Yunnan rice noodle! For those who doesn't know the Yunnan rice noodle story, you could read the following as your reference:During the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) there was a scholar who studies on an island of Mengzi city, Yunnan province. His wife made his favorite food, rice noodles, for him every day.But the noodles always got cold when they were sent to the island. One day, the wife found that the chicken soup she sent to her husband was still hot. She soon figured out that the thick oil on the chicken soup preserved heat. She also found that the rice noodles tasted better if not boiled together with the chicken soup.The smart wife therefore started bringing separated chicken soup, rice noodles and other ingredients to the island and combined them only after arriving at her husband's place.The rice noodles tasted so good that the cooking method soon spread across the city. Local people named the dish "crossing-the-bridge noodles" in memory of the wife as she had needed to cross a bridge to the island every day.Anyway, the yunnan rice noodle is pretty authentic and delicious! The price is also reasonable. Highly recommend this place!"

China Town Express

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (52) • $

"Lots of negative reviews here from people who don't seem to understand what this place is. It's a cheap Chinese food place next to a Goodwill and what appears to be a partially burnt down building. It's the Chinese food equivalent of Alberto's. The service does not come with a smile. The food is pretty good, but then again, Chinese fast food is always good. Most importantly, the portions are huge and the price is right. Sometimes you are just in the mood for it.Come here if you feel like Panda Express but want to spend a dollar or two less per plate and not wait in a huge line.For what it is, 5 stars."

"Amazing quality and taste!! Food came out quickly and the woman was really nice and always had a smile on her face.I'm surprised many people commented that the price is "reasonable." No this place is EXTREMELY CHEAP, like I hope the owner raises her price so she can survive inflation For example we ordered walnut shrimp for $12.99 and at our usual place it is $22!!! Even if she upped everything $2-3 I would still come back."
