The Hainanese chicken rice was very dry and the xiaolongbao felt like they were bought and heated in the supermarket, which was an unacceptable meal.

SENSATIONAL DIM SUM ! We checked out this place a few days ago...the menu looked great so we put it on our must try list. On Sunday we decided to do lunch here...the early heavy rain killed our Sunday bike ride. My wife and I rocked in at 12.40pm. It was as dead as a cracker...maybe because of the really cold rainy weather ! A kind server named Abbott looked after us the whole time. Funnily enough my wife and I ordered exactly the same items from the Dim Sum menu....STEAMED BBQ PORK BUNS & JUICY PORK DUMPLINGS. And then we both chose CRISPY SHRIMP ROLLS from the Small Bites menu. HA HA ! My wife also ordered a THAI ICED TEA. Our well spoken server Abbott brought our lunch order out one at a time so we could take time to enjoy. AND ENJOY WE DID ! Everything we ordered tasted TOP NOTCH. My wife LOVED her well made flavorsome Thai Iced Tea. Truly the most relaxing enjoyable Din Sum lunch ever. Our server Abbott was sensational. We will be back for dinner real soon !

Went there for company lunch. Unfortunately they don’t take reservations, so we had to send people ahead of time to get couple of tables. The food is good. Been there a few times since they opened. Almost every time there is a hick up with someone’s order.

I came here to pick up food at 6:00pm on October 4, and the person at the checkout who handed me the food was extremely rude. I asked for a couple hot sauce and she told me it’s in the package and I’ll see it if I check the bag which is tied with a tight knot. I told her that before the sauce was not in the bag even though I requested it and by the time I noticed it was too late. She pointed to the bag and said no it’s there. I went to my car and checked the bag. There was only one tiny hot sauce and this meal is for three people. So I went back inside and asked her that I need three of those, and she gave me a stern look and gave me the sauce with a rather aggressive and rude attitude. It’s hard to believe they offer such a bad customer service. It’s also unbelievable that they are so stingy about not wanting to give more than one tiny sauce for an order for multiple people but what is worse is that they offer such a rude, unpleasant attitude almost to the level of aggression.

Some waitress are great, but sometimes you just get these very disrespectful waitress.
Food and service is usually consistent and prices are reasonable. I just regret getting the rice noodles with my wonton noodle soup rather than egg noodles. Stick to the egg noodles.

EXCELLENT DINNER ! After a fun evening at the movies on Tuesday we wanted dinner somewhere cool and definitely indoors. It was still 87F at 6.30pm when we exited the movie theater at the Irvine Spectrum Center so we headed straight here. THE FOOD IS ALWAYS VERY GOOD ! After parking our wheels close by we walked inside....Johnny the manager / host and Abbot our fav server greeted us in a very welcoming manner. It wasn't real busy so we were able to sit in our fav spots at a community table. Abbot came by to help us.....iced waters please while we check out the menu. We were leaning towards DIM SUM and SMALL BITES. When Abbot returned with our tall glasses of iced waters we ordered 1 x LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SKEWERS, 1 x GRILLED BEEF SKEWERS & 1 x CRISPY SHRIMP ROLLS...all from Small Bites menu. And from the Dim Sum menu we ordered 1 x JUICY PORK DUMPLINGS & 1 x STEAMED SIU MAI. Oh and I felt like an ice cold beer so I asked for a TSINGTAO ( 4.7% abv Chinese lager ). It tasted fine for a very mild beer. FIRST UP ! Our Lemongrass Chicken Skewers and Grilled Beef Skewers hit the table el pronto with a trio of dipping sauces. VERY DELICIOUS ! We've ordered these a few times on our many visits here and they never fail to please. NEXT UP ! Our Crispy Shrimp Rolls came out and disappeared very fast...a real winner. The Dim Sum items always take longer to prepare and cook hence they came out last. SO GOOD ! I Out came our Juicy Pork Dumplings and Steamed Siu Mai stacked on top of each other in cane steamers. I have to agree with my wife who loves both of these to death.....they were very yummy. DESSERT ! Always leave room for a sweet finish....we asked Abbot to bring us a serve of CINNAMON CHINESE DONUT WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM. It may be the only dessert they offer but it's a darn good one. As always we had a perfectly enjoyable dinner here !

Tried the malaysian char kuay teow today which has been added to the menu for just 2 months. It was the best ever. Excellent flavour with good wok hei. Every bit Malaysian. Hope they retain the same chef and the quality. Thank you guys!

Mostly fast food type Asian soups and simple noodles.Went there for dim sum which they serve in a secondary sort of way: it was a little better than average, the choice was limited and the prices high.
