Big Chopsticks
Please, think of a better name for a Chinese restaurant. Def better than the 3.6 GMaps haters give. I’d say fair market value is about 4.2. It’s best for takeout, and for feeding large groups 6+. Pricing is awesome, taste is right and it just has that vibe. Mongolian beef is a highlight and you have to do chow mein. Don’t waste your time with sweet and sour chicken, it was pretty disappointing and frankly, I’d skip the chicken. Maybe try the orange chicken? But yes, I’ll be back to BIG Chopsticks.
Recently ordered takeout from [chopsticks] to take advantage of their buy-one-get-one-free deal. While the portion size was large, the overall experience fell short. Sweetness Overload: The chow mein was excessively sweet, likely due to an overabundance of hoisin sauce. Chicken Concerns: The chicken was disappointing. It included dark meat (which I don't prefer), and even the white meat was overcooked and dry. Greasy Wontons: The wontons were greasy, and the small amount of chicken inside was chewy and fatty, making them unappetizing. Unfortunately, due to the issues mentioned above, none of us finished our meals, and a significant portion went to waste. Past Orders Positive: It's important to note that I've ordered from [chopsticks] previously with satisfactory results. However, this recent experience makes me hesitant to order again, especially considering my dietary restrictions (no pork or beef). Recommendation: If you're looking for savory options or prefer lighter sauces, I might suggest exploring other restaurants.
Panda Express
Well, I thought that I ordered my food at the Irvine location at it turned out it was Mission Viejo. I was already about an hour late for pickup before I called Mission Viejo Panda Express to let them know. Raymond picked up the phone. I told him I was running late and he told me my food was sitting out for about an hour and OFFERED to ask the kitchen to remake the food for me. I gladly thanked him and God blessed him for his kindness and thoughtfulness. He asked about how long I would take before I arrived. I told him about 20 minutes and he said he would have them remake it in about 15 minutes. I ended up getting there after about 27 minutes and he was actually the one who helped me when I walked up to the Pick-Up counter. Haha, I saw his name tag and said, “Hey Raymond it’s Frankie!” He laughed and smiled and handed me my food while saying, “It’s still nice and fresh for you”. I God blessed him and thanked him again. He was very kind and I’m so glad he and the kitchen and Panda Express went out of their way to not only make my order but keep it warm for me. And the food?? 5 out of 5!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Orange Kitchen with Grilled Teriyaki Chicken over chow mein?? My tastebuds are cluckin haha!!! I’m so glad I tried Panda Express in Mission Viejo for the first time! I’m looking forward to trying a NEW dish next time!!
I ordered Panda Express for my mom and her caregiver this evening as they were craving Chinese cuisine. They had the orange chicken, beef and broccoli and mushroom chicken with rice and chow mein. The delivery service was spot on and the ambiance in mom's cozy home with a view of the mountains nearby. Highly recommended.
