I know good Chinese food. This place is incredibly delicious and authentic Chinese food. Shocked that Yorba Linda finally has a great Chinese restaurant, never thought I would see the day. Will be nice to not have to drive all the way to Irvine or Rowland heights to get the good stuff. Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed.

First time at D&D FireArt (after having eaten in this physical location, which was a previous Asian restaurant in the same space, different owners, many times over the years). This place BLOWS THE SOCKS OFF the former tenant's food!!! If you used to eat at this location, and haven't tried D&D, please do yourself a favor and TRY IT - you won't be disappointed!! (sorry, completely forgot pictures, I was so taken with the food quality!)First up, we eat late, like very close to closing on weeknights, so no problem getting a table immediately. Service is prompt and very friendly.They have an unusual chicken egg drop soup that is very flavorful! Veggie egg rolls are nothing to write home about - standard fare, fresh, hot, but too oily for my liking. Will skip next time.The Mongolian beef was good... not great... beef was a bit chewy, not necessarily overcooked, but just good. The sauce was very good.The sweet-n-sour shrimp - WOW!!! GINORMOUS ( like HUGE), plump, fresh shrimp (largest I think I've ever seen in a restaurant anywhere), perfectly cooked, smothered in a very flavorful, but not overly sweet (if that's possible) sweet-n-sour sauce, with plenty of pineapple. Just excellent, both quality and flavor! Can't say enough about it.House Special Fried Rice (chicken, shrimp, bbq pork) - very, very good! Definitely NOT your standard strip mall (did I mention this place is a little hole in the wall place in a small strip mall next to Vons... you'd likely miss it if you didn't know it was here)... but I digress. ;)Definitely NOT your standard mall or strip mall restaurant fried rice, which is usually regular rice with some soy sauce and other flavoring tossed in, with frozen peas and carrots added. NOT HERE - this is the real deal - fresh, plump chunks of chicken and smaller (regular-sized) shrimp, perfectly scrambled egg, and whatever the mix of seasonings - just perfect!! Although, personal preference, I like my house fried rice to have beef instead of the bbq pork, but I suppose we could request that next time. And no cheap frozen veggies here, just quality, piping hot, well-prepared, tasty ingredients. I literally will have to go in sometime just for the fried rice as a meal!BTW, the family-style dishes are HUGE!!! A "small/regular" is plenty for 4, maybe 5 people, if a few dishes are ordered. And the "large" dishes should be called "HUGE," more than enough for 5-7 people if sharing a number of dishes!Arrive hungry... you will leave fully satisfied. However, one small blip... did not get to try fried ice cream from the menu, in fact, for some reason, the server said there were NO desserts available? Didn't ask why, the food was so good, we just let it go (and there is a great walk-up ice cream place just a few doors down ;).My only regret is that there are only 2 locations to this advertised "chain" restaurant, in the entire U.S. that I could find - this one (the newer) and Santa Clarita, CA. At least everyone in these 2 cities and surrounding areas can have the pleasure... it's well worth it!

Had a Mongolia beef lunch special $12.99 with a soup and a spring roll, they were all tasty . Very clean and nice environment. Look for the Sign D&D Fire Art, it's not the art studio FineArt.

Amazing food. The best Chinese food I've had. The ambiance is very calm and quiet, great for date night! Service is very attentive and the food comes out fast, fresh and hot! Portions are large and we love to take them home for lunch the next day! Annnnddd... who doesn't love pandas?!

I really enjoyed my lunch from D&D. This was my first time ordering so I didn't know what to expect. I like that they have lunch specials, and their attention to detail in the packaging of to go orders is one of the best I've ever seen! Food was fresh and hot. I like my hot and sour soup a lil more flavorful, but the portion was great and added some soy sauce to up the flavor. My kid thought it was perfect as-is. But, the fried rice was great and the spring roll as well. My entree, Triple Delight with Garlic sauce, was my favorite part of my lunch. Ample portion and highly flavorful! I'll definitely be back again.
Went to pick up fornthe first time due to good reviews on a neighborhood platform. Call taker was indifferent, not friendly but not rude. Wouldn't have enjoyed eating there because the place is SO bright. Like very bright!! Not my kind of ambience but maybe others enjoy it. Now the gal at the counter was rude. Rude to the patron in front of us asking for more sauce because she gave him one for four people. And rude to my husband who asked for the same. The gal who delivered the sauce was friendly enough. I have heard a few bad things about the young hostess. Maybe time for a change there. Food was ok. Tasted like fast food Chinese. Everything was overly sweet and the designated spicy dishes were not spicy at all. Maybe all were having a rough night after the holidays but I won't rush back.

Delicious cuisine. This place is now our favorite spot for Chinese food. However they need to hire more staff. The workers are great but the place is really popular so there is a bit of a wait for your food to arrive.

Good food, good portions. Always taste fresh and is prepared fairly quickly. I always pick up, haven't ate inside. But looks pretty big. The staff seem attentive.
