I preface this review by saying I am in no way in tune with Chinese cuisine and the different regional offerings. That said, noodles were delicious. Cold noodles is a new concept for me and wouldn’t order again. Exotic protein options including intestines, my wife had a hard time eating with me because the menu didn’t have English descriptors and what she did understand was for acquired tastes. Try it out and be your own judge, nothing wrong with this place.

A must-visit for noodle lovers！ The Lamb Skewers perfectly spiced, and Suo Yi Cucumber crisp and refreshing. Chicken Wonton Soup is comforting, and Sweet Rice Wine Balls make a perfect sweet finish.

Went in for lunch and the place was empty at 11 am and maybe 2 more tables filled until I left. The beef roll was pretty good and the portion was perfect for sharing. The shrimp wontons was a fail for me because of the mushy squash inside. The beef soup dumplings was ok but didn’t like slight herb scent, so it might be better for Chinese tastebuds. But I liked they provided other meat options besides pork.

Stopped by on a weeknight and found the restaurant relatively full but I get it! The restaurant itself is open and clean. The service is fast and friendly. Given so many people I was happily surprised how quickly the food came and how attentive the service was. The food, honestly, loved it! The portions are a good size. The flavors are spot on. They offer a grilled menu after 5pm, which is fun to eat!

We walked around this busy Irvine center and decided on Tim Ho Wan, where we were able to be seated right away. The decor was nice with a modern look. The servers were efficient and came by our table often. Everything we shared: Pan Fried Noodles with BBQ Pork $12.50 Baked BBQ Pork Buns 3pc $8.00 Steamed Rice Roll with BBQ Pork $7.95 Sweet Coconut Cream with Taro and Sago $7.50 The baked barbecue pork buns is one of my favorites. Textured pillows of pastry that was a little sweet with a pocket of delicious char siu. The Pan Fried Noodles with BBQ Pork was another favorite. The portion was a little smaller than I was expecting. The flavor was fantastic and liked the crunch of the veggies. Visually very appealing! I miss the traditional dim sum carts. I’ll definitely have to come back to try more of their dim sum!

In A Nutshell: -This was the 2nd Tim Ho Wan location I've eaten at. -Compared to the Vegas location, it's not as aesthetically pleasing to the eye for obvious reasons, but it is very clean & bright which is good. -The service here is very, very good, kind & attentive! -The menu options are standard & the food quality is superb. -Every item ordered was very tasty, which is why this dim sum spot always ranks high among other foodies. Overall, I really enjoyed eating at this location in Irvine.
