Want Chinese food but going with a group of 2? Paradise Dynasty is it. The first time I came here I got the rainbow XLB, but actually everything else is even better!!! There is nothing bad on the menu. The chef specials seasonal menu if you want to be extra fancy is fantastic. The wonton mala noodles has the perfect amount of mala, where you can still talk to your date without your nose running 🤣. Pan-fried Shanghai rice cakes has a taste will take you back home. Jindu pork ribs(sweet and sour pork) is a dish most people will find comfort in, especially kids. Don't forget to order a garlicky leafy greens! Pea shoots is a great value. It is priced the same as spinach and broccoli on the menu but costs around $5/lbs at the groceries. Shout-out to Hendry, he's always attentive and brings good vibes 💖

I stopped by for lunch and decided to try the signature original Xiao Long Bao chicken served on a bed of flavorful chicken fried rice, paired with a refreshing sake. The dish was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked! The service was attentive and friendly, contributing to a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere was calm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The restaurant was impeccably clean, which added to the overall positive impression. I highly recommend this place if you’re at the mall and looking for a quick yet satisfying bite! 😊✨

My son loves their Northeastern cold noodles and lamb skewers! I had their bullfrog and chicken pot; it was spicy but satisfying! Very authentic Northeastern barbecue.

Their bbq were okay, I agree with some review saying their meat were small and mostly were fats. I've had bigger meat with the same price. Their other dish was better. Abalone was worth trying, it tasted really good and super spicy. Mala dish was my favorite, the more I ate the more numbing my mouth got. The service was fine in the beginning but later the servers stopped coming over to check up on us. We requested some items and to go boxes, but no one ever returned. Lol.

Mian has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots for comforting, flavorful Chinese soups and noodles. The menu is packed with options, from spicy beef rib soup noodles to Chengdu Zajiang rice noodles and golden soup chaoshou dumplings. There’s a clear emphasis on hearty broths and balanced spice, and every dish I’ve tried so far has been deeply satisfying. The soup noodles are the real stars here. The broths are incredibly rich and clear-flavorful without being greasy, and perfect for warming up or just seriously hitting the spot. My favorites include the Spicy Beef Soup Noodles and the Clear Broth Beef Noodles. The noodles themselves have great texture, and you can choose between wheat and rice noodles (gluten-free upon request), which is a nice touch. The appetizers are also worth exploring. The Thousand Year Egg with Tofu, Fried Chinese Donuts with Sweet Soy Milk, and the Mian Cold Combo (with Spicy Black Fungus, Radish, and Beef in Chili Sauce) are all standouts. Everything is full of umami and perfectly seasoned. Dumplings and chaoshou are also excellent, especially the Golden Soup Chaoshou and Chili Oil Dumplings, available in small ($9) or regular ($15) sizes. Pricing is fair and very reasonable considering the quality and portions: - Most appetizers range from $6–$10 - Noodle dishes are generally $13.50-$16.50, with some premium options like Spicy Beef Rib Noodles at $20 - Dumplings and chaoshou fall between $9-$15 - Fried rice is $13-$16, and sides start as low as $2.50 - Desserts and drinks range from $2.50 to $6 Portions are generous-you'll definitely leave full. And even the dumplings, like the Chili Oil Chaoshou or the Golden Soup version, are flavorful and well-crafted. If you’re craving bold Sichuan flavors, silky noodles, and soul-warming broth, Mian is a must-try. Highly recommend.

I love their chewy noodles. The beef soup is very favorable The chili oil dumplings tastes so good. Their appetizers are great compliments to their main dishes. You can choose the spiciness of each dish. Great restaurant! Will definitely come back to try other dishes.

Food was good here. The pork chop fried rice was tasty. And their Xiao Long Bao is always popular here. We tried crab and kurobuta pork xlb again and it’s still our favorite. For the appetizers, we had Taiwanese cucumber salad and wood ear mushrooms. They are all amazingly good. Don’t forget to have chocolate and mochi xlb. It’s a nice dessert at the end of meals.

We were walking through South Coast Plaza around 2:30 and noticed no line. We put our name in and received a table notification 30 minutes later. Our hostess was lovely. Our server, Jackie was spectacular offering us the best tips on plates and dipping sauce. The food was divine! Chicken fried rice, crab and pork buns and spicy pork and crab wontons. Ridiculously good!

This is a Szechwan Zone. If you enjoy Spicy Chinese, this is the place. Like so many good restaurants in California, it is Innocuously located in a strip mall. We had excellent food and service. The restaurant furnishings have been updated. Prices were very reasonable. Our bill for 4 people came to $100. I encourage those who had negative experiences years ago to give this another chance.

Loved everything I ate here. Took me back to my year living in China. So flavorful. Soany of my favorite dishes. I'll be coming back for sure!

Absolutely 100% mo better mo better ;) Then I expected Shared the Honey Hot entree and medium WonTon soup All of it was hot, fresh, and delicious Service was great from the second you walk through the door expect a Welcome In! All the staff is in sync and attentive. Outstanding

Stopped in for a quick lunch with hubby. I ordered the grilled salmon salad and hubby the teriyaki chicken with fried rice. Everything was just about over salted. The salmon salad was saved by the vinegar-based dressing and mandarin wedges. Hubby's fried rice was mostly salty and the chicken was good without the sauce. The staff were friendly enough. The restaurant was clean; the bathroom immaculate.
