Long's Kitchen

Absolutely love this place. The food is very good. I highly recommend the cauliflowers in a wok, my go-to for this place. The service is above average. The price is alright for Irvine.

Horrible experience here. The young man who was our server was awful and seemed to hate his job, life, and everything, and projecting that onto us. We usually order takeout but decided to dine in today and we won't be back. We can't read or speak Chinese so we rely on the english section of the menu and ordered the "fried spicy intestine" and when it came out it was not fried. We showed him a photo of what we expected on yelp and he said that was actually the "spicy broth" and the english translation of the menu is wrong. Um... then fix it? How is the deep fried intestine called spicy broth??Service was nonexistent. When we came into the restaurant we were the only customers there. We ordered soup and they didn't give us spoons and not once did they ask us how the food was. Try Kuan Zhai Alley near Spectrum. So much better.

We checked in on the way to LAR airport. It was an early dinner visit, so pretty quiet, only two tables including us. Not sure if because we didn't have any expectation, or just because we were hungry, we feel the food here is above average among other Chinese restaurant.

I was on the way home and wanted green veggies and found this place. I think I got A-choy and it satisfied my craving and tasted fine, not as garlicky as I wanted but it was fine. I needed some proteins, so I got the fish fillet with sauerkraut, and it was also ok, not the best, not the worst but good enough, it had some kick to it. I asked for a recommendation on the third dish and the person suggested chicken, but I don't recall the actual description and just accepted it, it wasn't what I was expecting, it was good but if I knew what it was, I wouldn't have ordered it. It was chicken with bones and the bones were brittle so you had to be really careful. It was soupy and very spicy, in the numb your mouth type of spicy. The chicken was dry so it was good it was soupy so I could dip it with each bite.The place was a bit rundown and outdated. When I sat down to wait for my order (which took almost 30 minutes) it was a bit sticky. Maybe I got there close to closing time because there were workers in uniform having dinner, and then other workers at another table peeling vegetables. It seemed a bit weird. For whatever reason it took several minutes of me trying to catch their attention to take my takeout order even though they did greet me and knew I was there. I even closed the menu, universal sign of I've looked and made my decision. Everything was ok but I probably wouldn't return unless I was in the area and craving a leafy green vegetable again.

Well I waited for ten minutes to ask questions about the menu which I thought was kinda rude. Then the lady does not speak one word of English.

My family and I came on Saturday at 5:30, and there was no wait at all. It was actually dead empty... so that should have warned us. The service fine, the decor was fine, everything was just fine. Parking is free and shared in a lot. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and nothing was great, just ok. The fried eggplant was probably my favorite but it was in a puddle of oil. Both the mapu tofu and salted egg tofu were bland and lackluster. Pork belly was tender. I liked the soup since the pork knuckle was soft and fatty. The fish scared everyone with its red dye. The sauce was neon red and tasted super artificial. We just poked at it and nibbled some pieces to try. The duck was so dark and so spicy. I can't even pinpoint what flavor the duck was because it was so spicy that my tongue went numb lol. I like spicy food but this had a bitter tart flavor that I didn't quite enjoy. Veggies were pretty ok, plain, and simple. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone or ever go again. This is sad chinese food with dull flavors, lots of oil, and red 40 dye.

While the menu isn't large here, especially when compared to other Chinese restaurants like Tasty Garden and Tasty Noodle House, everything I tried here was good. I got the: salted peanuts, twice cooked pork with garlic stems, bean curd and vegetable soup, and cauliflower with pork dry pot.The pork in both dishes was thinly cut, juicy, and tender, the cauliflower was crispy and not too spicy, and the soup was surprisingly good despite its bland appearance. Service was ok here. You do need to ask for some dishes and for the check but the waiter got them to us fairly quick after asking. Tables are spaced out so you feel like you've got plenty of room.

The flavors were a bit lack luster. A lot of food pics on Yelp is outdated as the restaurant don't carry these items anymore.

sliced pork with green pepper extra spicy is the one dish i been getting from them for years. its definitely very oily but thats just how it is, not complaining bc its delicious. that with some white rice is heavenly. the restaurant seems nice but typically i just get take out to share with the family. they don't speak much english but thats how you know it's authentic. also,?they accommodate even if you don't speak Chinese though, pretty friendly

The service here is always wonderful, and most of the dishes are really delicious! It feels just like home cooking--nothing too oily or overloaded with MSG. It's the kind of place you can visit regularly, nothing too fancy but super comfy. I highly recommend the chili fish head; it's been fresh and tasty every single time we've ordered it. My family is from Hunan, and this spot truly brings back memories of my grandpa's cooking.
