Love the food here and the service always good Ambience is nice tooSliced beef is a must here

Flavor (msg + mala yum lol) is solid! I do, however, wish the chicken to batter ratio was a little better! I think I prefer a lot crunchier batter than the softer kind. I also wish the salt + pepper flavor was the forward profile for the pork chop. A saltier meal for sure but still tasty. Medium spice wasn't spicy at all imo. Wouldn't go out of my way to return but not opposed!

I've ordered 3 times from this restaurant. First time they forgot my beef chow mein.Second time I got the beef chow mein, tomato egg, and beef spare rib. Delicious. Beef spare rib was juicy, tender, and saucy.Third time I got beef chow mein, beef short rib, and honey walnut shrimp. Beef short rib were mostly bone, dry, and hard like 3 day old microwaved leftovers. Honeywalnut shrimp was soggy and drenched in mayo saicesauce. They are not consistent in quality, and is a gamble depending on who is cooking

I haven't seen an actual Chinese restaurant around Garden Grove area. Glad I gave it a try. The place is spacious with Bengong tea right next to it. The price might be high but trust me, it is a big portion. They really don't skim out. Highly recommend getting the pork dumplings in chili oil and hot & sour soup. The food comes out relatively quick but I'm not sure during dinner rush. Definitely coming back to try out other dishes

Came for a second time to try the noodles and other dishes. Still really delicious. Still good service. Still a go-to.

Move over, Din Tai Fung! This place may not have the same upscale image, but their dishes pack an incredible flavor punch. I can't believe I waited so long to try it, especially with how close it is. Craving dumplings or some comforting, home-style Chinese cuisine? This spot in the OC is a hidden gem.Every dish we tried was delicious:10/10 - Juice Dumplings: These are far superior to DTF, with perfect seasoning and an ideal ratio of fillings to dumpling dough.10/10 - Scallion Pancakes Beef Rolls: Their sliced beef is unbelievably tender and perfectly thinly sliced. This dish was the biggest surprise for me, as I often find the beef in scallion pancakes to be dry.10/10 - Three Delicacies Dumplings: These dumplings are folded in a way that feels homemade, and the chili sauce truly elevates the dish.8/10 - Hot and Sour Soup: The sour taste packs a punch. It's good but a bit too strong for my palate.11/10 - Sliced Beef & Honeycomb Tripe in Chili Sauce: This dish was the most surprising, with perfectly prepared tripe and well-rounded seasoning. It pairs perfectly with some rice.I can't wait to bring my friends back here to try more dishes!

The most authentic Chinese cuisine without the wait. We celebrated my mother's birthday here for dinner. They rebranded themselves as Noodle Star which is quite fitting as we saw the back of the house making fresh noodles from dough. So many dishes to choose from. Family style with shared entrees of course.

We stopped to eat here on a whim - literally a "hey it's lunch time let's find a place to eat nearby while we're driving" and chose this place due to their 1. yelp photo (Chongqing Spicy Chicken) lol. It looks good! The place was kind of emptier than we expected for a lunch weekend. Decor is nice, very spacious. It shares a space with a boba shop called Ben Gong's Tea (which I ordered while waiting and TLDR enjoyed the mango pomelo sago).We didn't order the Chongqing Spicy Chicken (I can't handle spicy), but we did end up ordering the Fish filet w/spicy salt, egg drop soup and shrimp with egg yolk. They ended up giving us a really spicy looking soupy fish dish with red peppers?? We were very confused, that wasn't what we ordered. We told them what we had ordered and they took it back. Food arrived and everything was great. Food portions were much larger than we expected, it was like dinner portions. Shrimp sizes were larger than expected and more than the 12 count or so we're used to. It's like shrimp w/spicy salt but stir fried with an egg yolk batter coating. Very generous portions. Was super surprised there wasn't more people here, but we noticed they have a lot of to-go orders. Would definitely return when we're in the area!

The food here is excellent for such a great price. Especially good were the pepper fish filet and the pork and cabbage dumplings.Service was stellar. With the restaurant's dining area itself being spacious and spotless.

This is some of the best Chinese food I've ever had in my life. Everything we ordered was tasty AF.
