Lao Tang Jia

It's a Smart kitchen style but has very amazing taste and chill outdoor environments. Best to call n order ahead to skip the line. Great service from the owner!! Got the pork knuckle rice for lunch, and abalone soup for dinner this time, comfy and happy

Ordered takeout. Order took 10-20 mins to prepare. Hainan chicken came w three sauces and a soup. Very flavorful and tasty. The chicken was soft and then rice was seasoned w the chicken. Pork knuckle bowl was good. Careful if you cant handle spicy because the red chilis in this are HOT. It came with picked veggies a d a fried tofu. This is a good filling bowl that I definitely can see myself ordering again if i was eating by myself. The pork feet rice is the standard. They served a lot of rice and had one small piece of abalone in it with some mushrooms. This place is authentic and has wonderful flavor on its food.

It was a good takeout only experience. The concept is a little strange. This venue is in an industrial park with several restaurants offering takeout only (no dine-in) services. I ordered the classic pork trotter rice with two eggs. It's flavorful and tasty. Perhaps better though as a dish, not on top of a full plate of rice.

We ordered the Braised Chicken Wing & Abalone rice and hubby said he was satisfied but felt that it was overpriced for the portion given. Also would not go out of our way to get this again. I ordered the Golden Fish Maw Soup and this soup is lacking essence. It was overly salty and tasted like msg rather than that purse wholesome soup you expected from the menu pictures they presented. If you're looking for that "ancient" nourishing Chinese soup, this place ain't it. When hubby tasted it, he said it tasted like American chicken noodle soup and if you're anything like me you'll know what broth actually tastes when using quality ingredients as it will only enhance the natural flavors from the chicken. Also... mine came with a single drumstick which tasted very bland.Reply to owner's response: You lost me at "And don't make judgments too fast." Sounds a bit passive aggressive given that I've provided my honest opinion about your food. Sure, you can say that Ubereats markup prices but that still doesn't dismiss my opinion on how the soup tastes.

The food tastes good with stable quality. It's supplied by a smart kitchen and dine in option is not available. Soup is full in a very strong flavor with white pepper: actually quite good for Teochew flavor. The soup comes with a few fishballs with four shrimps. It's very well packaged too. For the pork knuckle rice I would say it's just okay as compared to an authentic Teochew pork rice. But if you look for something to eat quickly, try this combo.

After being blown away by the flavorful and unique dishes at Lao Tang JIa's last time, the Chaozhou-born owner has done it again! This summer, he's introduced a revamped version of the classic Chaozhou seafood dish, "Lo Zaai" (捞汁), as well as a seasonal limited edition item - jumbo-sized Argentinean prawns pan-fried with fragrant scallion oil.Let me tell you, the Lo Zaai seafood is an absolute winner, with a broth base that's rich but not heavy. As expected, the star of the show is the plump and juicy oysters, which are a true delight to the senses. Paired with crunchy abalone, succulent prawns, and a medley of aromatics and veggies, this dish is an explosion of sweet and savory flavors that's perfect for the summer heat!But that's not all - the double-pepper chicken with chestnuts and mushrooms, as well as the spicy braised chicken bones, are both top-notch in terms of taste and texture. And let's not forget about the braised pork trotters with peanuts and abalone, which are a heavenly source of collagen for all the beauty-conscious ladies out there.Lao Tang JIa's dishes are truly a fusion of traditional Chaozhou flavors and modern culinary innovation. I can't wait to see what other delicious surprises the owner has in store for us.Recently, whenever I have the chance to return to Irvine, I always want to get some takeout from Lao Tang Jia

First time ordering off DoorDash, food was amazing! This time ordered pick up and went and got the food in person, there's no mark up when you order in person vs. on DoorDash or Yelp or an other food service app. I got the oyster rice soup, pork feet, pork trotter over rice. All 3 items were fantastic. Also got a lemon coke, great way to cut the savory flavors with something refreshing. The oysters were super fresh and very delicious. I highly recommend and will be back to try more items on the menu!

The food taste good, but it's very cheap and very expensive. The soups are all water with high prices.So yes, it is good but the business needs to do a better job of providing quality for the price they charge

(5 stars)I had an absolutely delightful experience here.The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, each one bursting with flavor. The presentation was as impressive as the taste, and the portion size was just right.What impressed me even more was the attention to detail and quality of ingredients used in every dish. It's evident that the chefs take great pride in their craft.I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient but high quality take out food service!

random afternoon on a Wednesday, has work off and decided to just chill. Woke up a bit later and was hungry cuz lunch was missed. I decided to order some food from this place to try. The abalones with chicken wings were an interesting choice, didn't expect the pair but it was really on point. The first thing smelled great. The food was braised in a really nice sauce and it was very tasty, not too salty, the rice carried some sauce, it was really good. Definitely was a happy camper afterward. I would definitely come back and order another time around. Goood afternoon.
