First time:
Good-tasting dumplings.
The ordering process and the service was difficult for people who are unfamiliar with Chinese cuisine. There are no descriptions for any of the dishes.
We ordered something called Spring Cake, and the server said it was “like a burrito”. That is not true. It is a basket with 4 tortilla-like flat “cakes”. I guess you’re supposed to order filling for it, but that is not clear on the menu and the server did not explain that to us.
Second time:
The scallion pancake is good. Like fried dough with scallions in it.
I got the chicken soup with dumplings. Again, because there is no description I didn’t know the broth had Sichuan peppercorns in it. I do not like those. The dumplings were still good however

Visiting from out of town. Take out. Food was very delayed and service ack. Food was ok. Beef as tender. Noodles were fresh. Soup didn’t have as much flavor. Beans had too much garlic.

To go review only and first time here. Ordered in person, their popular Braised Beef Noodle soup. Had a separate soup container and a noodles bowl, were easy to mix the two together. The beef cubes were tender and noodles are cooked well- not too hard or soft. I asked for spicy level 1, which was just right with slight spiciness. You could also order it non-spicy as well. The soup could have been more flavourful and hotter temp though. Took about 5 minutes to get it as promised in the early afternoon hour, no one was dining inside, but the restaurant seems to be clean and they have different delivery options and takeout order machine if they are busy. There are outside general tables in the plaza you can eat at, but they don’t serve outside.

The place was empty when we first came in and I understood why. The table we were seated at was very sticky and dirty. We got the Chongqing street noodle with pork, the diced beef with fresh chili noodles,and the sliced beef & ox organs in chili sauce. The food itself was ok. Nothing special and it seemed a bit lacking compared to another noodle place in Irvine with similar offerings. This place seems to focus more on to-go orders than the dine in experience.

We ran into this little noodles shop by accident. We ordered beef noodles soup and eggplant spicy pork noodles, both were very tasty. The waitress were very nice and very good service.

The braised beef noodle is great. They give multiple big chunks of beef which are super soft. It’s only $14.

Having the noodles a few times which was pretty good, so we decided to try the pork slices today. And apparently, it’s not the portion supposed to look like for $20 (excluding the fees and tips :((((

Our second but last visit was today for lunch. There was not a single staff member who could speak English to take the simplest order. Just wanted to order a “Noodle with Bean Paste” as it is written on the menu. Noodle with Pork was what we got!
We had to send it back many times because it was wrong and finally we had to cancel totally.
so sorry for this qualified looking Place.

It’s not just a noodle place. We ordered some dishes and it’s delicious. The place is clean and the staff is friendly.
