16 Best Chinese Restaurants in Tustin

“This place is a Tustin icon. The food I great and the portions or stellar. I got the the combo B (half rice and half chow mien with orange chicken and pepper chicken) and it's enough food to last me two meals, and for 11 dollars. Service is great and everything is fresh. Definitely recommend for a quick bite.“

“Great little spot! It’s a bit on the cozy side, so expect a 15–20 minute wait during peak times, but it’s completely worth it. Everything we ordered was fantastic—the scallion oil noodles were super flavorful, the pan-fried dumplings had that perfect crispy bottom, and the fried cutlet was extra crispy and delicious with the dipping sauce. Plus, having free parking right outside makes coming here super easy. Will definitely be back!“

“​I was in charge of ordering Chinese food for a big crowd for my aunt's birthday party, and since KBP Asian Bistro was close by, I gave it a shot. Honest review: seeing how quiet the restaurant was at first made me second-guess my choice, but I'm so glad I stuck with it! Everyone at the party devoured the food. It was amazingly fresh and flavorful, and the orange chicken was easily my favorite. We had zero leftovers, which speaks for itself. I'll definitely be coming back here for all my Chinese food cravings!“

“I hesitated from visiting several months ago during its opening because of the reviews that said they don't have it together yet, and seemed like ghost kitchen fare. Chinese food is so broken in SoCal with so many places in LA using ghost kitchens and false ingredients. After months of forgetting to visit, I finally visited after hearing their link to Koi Palace jn NorCal. The dim sum tastes the same as KP in the Bay Area; as good as it gets for their brand. I don't believe it's ghost kitchen and definitely not supermarket. My only complaint is they don't serve sticky rice and chicken feet during their limited menu lounge hours. That's like going to a sushi restaurant that wouldn't serve tuna & salmon.“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“Another great visit to **Pick Up Stix at Tustin Market Place**! The food was excellent as always. This time I ordered the Thai Coconut Curry, and it was delicious. They even gave me extra sauce on the rice, which made it even better.

Each menu item is a generous portion and comes with soy sauce, sweet rice sauce, and of course, a fortune cookie. They offer all the standard beverages—lemonade, raspberry tea, Vitaminwater, Sprite, Coke—you name it—as well as Gold Peak tea if that’s your preference.

The coconut curry comes loaded with fresh veggies like broccoli and bell peppers, just like the flavors I’ve enjoyed in Taiwan. Great taste, great portions, and consistently satisfying. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Chinese food, that is authentic and delicious. Go, Actually Run! And write a review. They are legit. Tasty. Fresh. Hot. Great texture of protein. My 4 kids loved it. Great flavor, we got the House chicken, chive pancakes, and sweet and sour pork tenderloins. Place was very clean. Definitely a great hidden gem.“

“The food was delicious and the service was great! The restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend!“

“EverSpring had only recently opened, so I stopped by to give it a try. I originally came for the beef knife-cut noodles, but the lamb bread soup and crispy rougamo ended up being the biggest surprises.

The broth was flavorful without being greasy, and the lamb was tender with no strong gamey taste. The rougamo was hot, flaky, and filled with plenty of meat—we liked it enough to take another one home. The knife-cut noodles were thick and chewy, with large pieces of tender beef in almost every bite.

The menu has a nice mix of Northwestern specialties and familiar Chinese comfort food, so it’s an easy place to visit with a group. A friend tried the crispy beef on a previous visit and really liked it, so that’s already on my list for next time.

There’s plenty of free parking outside, and the dining room feels bright, clean, and comfortable. The weekday lunch special also makes the prices very reasonable.

The staff kept our water filled, brought everything out promptly, and checked in to make sure the flavors worked for us. Attentive without hovering—which I really appreciated. A very solid new option near Irvine.“

“My husband and I come here at least 1X a week! The food is fresh and so good! Luis, I think he’s the owner is very friendly and, the portions are very generous! You can’t go wrong with the lunch special. It’s a small place but they have a few tables, but every time we come there’s always trays of food to be picked up! That says a lot that people order for their parties.“

“Had a great meal at Mama Lu’s Dumpling House! We ordered the juicy pork dumplings, Shanghai rice cakes, clams with basil, and honey basil pork chop. Everything was flavorful and came out hot and fresh. The juicy pork dumplings were a must-try, and the Shanghai rice cakes had the perfect chewy texture. The clams with basil were fragrant and delicious, and the honey basil pork chop was a great combination of sweet and savory. Lots of good options on the menu, and everything was perfect for sharing. Would definitely come back to try more dishes!“

“The cauliflower rice is a great option. Great menu....“

“very clean, staff is very nice, 100% recommend ! owner is also extremely kind and friendly :)“

“This pace is my go-to for banh mi (vietnamese sandwich) and pho in Tustin. This restaurant has been here for a long time and for good reason. The sandwich always has fresh ingredients and they grill the meat upon order, unlike some chain restaurants that have them prepared ahead of time. The pho is delicious too and priced well. I've never had a disappointing experience at this restaurant.“

“Whenever I get a craving for Thai this is my go to spot. The food is authentic delicious and Just plain beautiful. The prices are reasonable the portions are large. The atmosphere can be busy, but comforting and relaxing, like a coffeehouse. The hustle and bustle of people coming in doesn’t distract from the atmosphere. In fact, it adds to it. I have always judged a Thai restaurant by their Tom kha kai. The first time I had it here I knew I was in for some good Thai. I’ve been making Tom kha gai at home for years now I know how it’s done and the subtleties of the ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The food is delicious atmosphere great and cocktails.“
