Great atmosphere when you enter inside. It has a charming warm feel to it. Nice lighting and design to the place. The server was very polite and attentive. We ordered the braised pork and shrimp fried rice. They are known for their house special dumplings.

Kirin Noodle House is a fantastic spot for anyone craving some comforting, delicious Chinese food. Their braised beef noodle is truly the star of the menu—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. The broth it comes in is rich and savory, making it hard to stop eating even when you’re full. The noodles have a great texture and soak up all the flavor of the beef and broth, which is just amazing. Overall, it’s a cozy, no-frills place with friendly service and food that hits the spot.

Today, I visited Yun Chuan Yuan, an affordable Sichuan restaurant in Irvine, and I was absolutely amazed! Every dish was so delicious that I can't help but rave about each one. Here's my detailed review! 👇 🌟 Twice-Cooked Pork: The perfectly balanced fatty and lean pork is stir-fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich savory sauce! The green peppers and garlic sprouts are also super flavorful. One bite and I was in heaven! 🌟 Shredded Pork with Sweet Bean Sauce: The pork strips are tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful, with the perfect balance of salty and sweet! Wrapped in thin pancakes with scallions and cucumber strips, the layers of texture are amazing, and it's not greasy at all. Absolutely fantastic! 🌟 Cold Skin Noodles: The noodles are chewy and smooth, with a spicy oil that's fragrant but not overwhelming, and the vinegar is just the right amount of tangy! Paired with cucumber strips and bean sprouts, it's refreshing and appetizing, perfect for summer! 🌟 Dry-Fried Green Beans: The green beans are slightly crispy on the outside but still tender inside, with a rich, dry aroma! The minced meat and chili peppers add a wonderful fragrance, making it super satisfying with rice! Overall, Yun Chuan Yuan is a highly cost-effective Sichuan restaurant, and every dish kept me coming back for more! Highly recommended for all Sichuan cuisine lovers! 💯 #IrvineFood #SichuanCuisine #YunChuanYuan #FoodieAdventures #AffordableEats

The service was really nice. The servers are amazing! The atmosphere was also really nice too. So, I didn't know that spicy city was a chain. But, the one in SD is a lot better. We ordered cold dish of pork neck, gizzard and black fungus. Pork neck and gizzard could use more chili and flavor. Black fungus was great! Then we got fried intestine. I didn't realize that they had batter. I never had it fried with batter before so this feels much greasy and heavier. The last thing was orange chicken. That was fine. It's just orange chicken.

Overall good Shanghainese restaurant. Portions are quite big and well worth the price - dishes are yummy but not exceptional. First, for the Shanghai grilled pork buns (sheng jian bao), it is written on the menu that there are 6, but they actually serve 8. They are good, but not exceptional. Solid among of juice and flavor, but kind of doughy. Still recommend though. Next, for the Shanghai grilled beef bun, they are also quite good. The braised noodles with onion sauce is delicious, but it definitely is quite greasy - you can’t taste the grease, but it is quite visible on your plate afterwards. Sauce is delicious though, full of onion flavor and not too salty. Still recommend trying though.

Portions are big so for 15-17$ you can have leftovers. And they help to pack the rest of your dish to go. In the picture 2 dishes - chicken fried rice and combo fried rice so you can see that the rice looks and tastes differently so that is a little bit of confusion. But there's a good correlation between price and quality.

We went to Meizhou Dongpo to celebrate several family birthdays. The food was excellent (you know you have good Chinese food when all the people working there speak Chinese !!! :) I forgot to take several photos of the restaurant and food since it was all about birthday celebrations. Would I go there again ? Absolutely !!! The only thing that I thought was kind of disturbing was the 2 waitresses whom were arguing in front of us on how to serve our group. They should have taken that discussion out of the room

The Dongpo pork was incredible—juicy, tender, and full of rich flavors! The duck was crispy and delicious, made with fresh ingredients. They offer a wide variety of options, including pork, fish, duck, beef, and more. The service was excellent; the staff were very friendly and attentive, regularly changing plates, refilling water, and being polite and detail-oriented. The environment and atmosphere were relaxing and culturally rich. We really enjoyed our experience here and would love to come back to try different dishes.

Tried this Chinese food restaurant with my friends and I really loved it. The food was delicious and the portion size was large enough for sharing. The fruit milk was very good. It’s my favorite drink in 2024. The servers are nice. Great vibes they have xmas decor too.

Love dining at Tasty Garden because they have a variety of so many delicious dishes and it's perfect for sharing! We came here around 8pm and decided to order our go to dishes. We could have done take out but the dining area seemed quite inviting and the booth tables looked comfortable. Service was very attentive and professional which we loved and parking was a breeze. We know what to expect when it comes to food quality and taste because it's not our first time dining here. I really enjoyed their Kung pao shrimp, Mapo tofu, eggplant, and all their noodle dishes! My friend ordered the fried tofu with mushroom pot which was amazing! Overall, I love the portions and the price point. Just good solid comfort food!

I have come here to order fried noddle and teriyaki chicken party trays a few times and I liked that they cooked freshly for me! Large quantities, good price, and good taste. The price is relatively cheaper than any other to go place!

I picked up my order at around 10am today and one of the male employees that handed me the order asked me to confirm the order twice even though i showed it to him once, so i showed him again and while he was handing the order to me he looked at me with bulging eyes like as if he wanted to fight me. It was definitely a very weird experience and i will not be returning to this location anymore.
