Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Peking Kitchen is what you would expect from a hole-in-the-stripmall Ameri-Chinese place. Now, having been blessed to eat at the most authentic Chinese restaurants this side of the Pacific Ocean, this is not what I would consider authentic, but it's definitely American Chinese food, which I'm still a fan of. Walking in, we were greeted by a very nice lady that seated us to our table promptly. It's not fancy inside by any means, but kind of reminds me of the Chinese restaurant at the end of A Christmas Story. I expected a harem of workers to serenade us with some jorry good songs, but that didn't happen. For starters, they bring out these crispy fried chow mein noodles from the can and serve them with spicy sweet sauce. Voila...Chinese chips and salsa! What more could I expect a restaurant in Santa Ana? How clever... :| We ordered the general Tso's chicken which was not that spectacular for my Asian pallette...it tasted like Panda Express' orange chicken, which was good, but not great. The Hunan spicy chicken was slightly better, but the meat was sparse inside and lacking depth. Everything is doused in MSG which makes everything slightly better. Granted, I did not expect to be wow'd coming in here, but I would expect the cuisine to be a step up from the counter-order places. Still, the food was good and it hit the spot, so overall, it was OK. They brought out 2 orange wedges, 2 fortune cookes, and 2 almond cookies along with the check. A bit excessive, but I appreciated the selection! What this place lacks in the flavor department, it certainly makes up for in service. The lady that works there is super friendly and even came back to check on us after we got our food. If you live or work in the area, I hear the lunch specials are mighty tasty.

Ok, so the people giving this place more than one star either had someone else cook their food or their taste buds are not working. I was really looking forward to a good Chinese dinner but was very disappointed. The food was greasy which would have been fine if it had flavor. Paying $10 an item also would not have been an issue if the food had been good. Usually, I like Chinese leftovers for the following day but I had to trash the food the first night. I could not even finish eating the fried rice because it was so greasy and tasteless. Panda express would have been better than this.

I have been going to Peking Kitchen for years. It is close to my house and the food is very good. I normally get take out and I can't remember them ever messing up my order. I especially like the house fried rice and the dumplings. Very friendly staff.
(5)Linda M.
I really like this place. I remember when i was little i used to go there all the time. Now that I'm older its better because i can admire the taste more than when i was little. Good service there, very nice people there to assist you.
(4)Jennifer F.

(5)Maria V.
Love this place the shrimp sizzling rice soup is delicious . They are very friendly and attentive been coming for years I highly recommend it .
(4)Marci M.
What is everyone talking about on here?? New people, don't waste your time! The menu is confusing and it isn't clear, the employees don't explain clearly and they charged me double the money they said it would be which means they robbed me! I will never come back! They're lucky I didn't walk out and not pay. Very unexpected surprise with the bill and the food too. The BBQ pork is disgusting! Save your money and your appetite....
(1)Gabby B.
Family deluxe deals are the way to go if you and your mate are starving! You get soup, and 2 entrees, and dessert! We absolutely love the bar be que pork! You get tons of food for your money!
(4)Logan D.
Great service, very good food and very fair prices. Free wontons with your meal. Nice lunch and dinner specials and a surprisingly friendly and attentive staff. Would come back!

So I wanted to try a new place for lunch today and read that Peking Kitchen got pretty good reviews on Google and Yelp, so my two co-workers and I decided to go eat there. It was the bomb! We ordered the Executive Lunch for 3, which is $7.85 per person and includes soup (we got egg flower), egg rolls (the vegetarian kind), sweet & sour pork, fried rice, chicken chow mein, and beef with broccoli. We also ordered the cream cheese wonton appetizer and a couple of Cokes and a lemonade for drinks. My co-worker commented that the egg flower soup tasted better than at other Chinese restaurants, and all of us especially loved the beef & broccoli, which was mouth-wateringly delicious! The rest of the dishes tasted great as well. My co-worker declared that her search for a really good Chinese restaurant in Santa Ana is officially over!

This is probably one of the best Chinese food places around. The location is pretty whole in the wall in the ghetto of Santa Ana but my parents have brought food back from here since the early 1990s. A lot of the City of Santa Ana employees whom my dad used to work with also come here during lunch time as well so you know its good. The Chinese lady at the front desk is very nice and she has been working there forever as it is family owned. We usually order the House Special Fried rice and the portions are very generous. We now live pretty far from Santa Ana, and there is nothing to do in Santa Ana, but it is worth the drive
(5)Al V.
Three flavor sizzling soup, perfect for the cold.
(5)Mitch N.
Clean Place Great Tasteing Food. You get alot of food for your money.
(4)Matt D.
Solid Chinese in Santa Ana. They make everything fresh and so you can ask for special changes. Upgrade to white meat chicken or add extra garlic. Some upgrades have a small fee but are worth it.
(3)Patrick B.
came here on a whim and ended up with some great food. roasted duck, vegetable eggrolls and almond cookies seems to always hit the spot.
(5)Mrs. S.
What a rip~off and the food is bad
(2)Majell D.
Smelly hole in the wall Chinese restaurant located inside a dingy shopping center with mostly Mexican establishments. I ordered the chow mein lunch special with salad, fried rice and an egg roll. Nothing but good old greasy goodness. Very generous portions.
(4)Kari C.
I'm impressed. I've driven by this restaurant literally HUNDREDS of times and finally stopped to check it out for myself (after checking yelp, of course). I went in tonight for takeout (though the place seemed very inviting for dining in). With the help of the friendly woman up front, I decided on Beef Chow Fun. Excellent flavor and quick service. Will be back for sure!!
(5)S R.
I was craving something tasty and was driving down 17th about 2 minutes off the 5 fwy. From 17th The place looked like a dumpy hole in the wall. The kind of place that most people would never try. (Some of the best ethnic foods I have had around the world have been at dumpy 'holes in the wall' and I'm willing to try them!) I circled around the block and got up the courage to enter. I'm sure that most people would drive by and assume it's terrible. I'm REALLY glad I found it. It's not fancy and they don;t charge extra for the atmosphere, they just charge for the food. It reminded me of a family run Chinese place when I was a kid in the 70's. Friendly staff, good service. Cold water, complimentary hot tea & crispy noodles. There were some obvious regulars there and the staff was chatting to them. They did not ignore other diners. I ordered the Chinese chicken salad which is made slightly different anywhere you go. It was a huge plate, fresh salad, tasty chicken, ripe tomatoes and a FANTASTIC dressing. Actually enough for 2 to share. What a nice surprise. I was checked on by 4 different staff members asking if everything was ok, did I want more water or crispy noodles etc. Request for extra dressing was not a problem. Absolutely a great experience for a simple inexpensive meal. I was out the door with tax & tip for $10. I stumbled upon this place without checking Yelp beforehand. I'm sure there are nicer places around but I will remember this joint and definitely stop there again when I am in that 'hood. It's a joke to me that some people think PF Chang's is good Chinese food. This place is worthy of a visit by anybody who wants fresh ingredients cooked by CHINESE cooks and not influenced by fancy decor. If I lived closer I would eat here at least twice a week!!

3/5 stars. The food was good. i'll return, but it's not a place to rave about just yet. i did go in at 8pm and i ordered to go, so keep that in mind. The woman who took my order was really friendly and informed me that the restaurant had been open 22 years. It is very much a hole-in-the-wall and nicely camouflaged among the smoke shop and taco places next door. The place itself is clean and well-kept. Soft music plays in the background, imagine KOST-FM. (it was on whenever you visited administration in school). I ordered the kung pao chicken dinner and chow mein, which totalled $11 bucks. It was much more food than I expected, so that is a pro. The noodles were thicker than I like, but the hot and sour soup was delish, though too sour to finish. the kungpao was good, as was the steamed rice. 3/5 stars. I'll return for their lunch special at some point and dine in.

After being in Honolulu for a week with amazing Asian food everywhere, I decided to look around for a new Chinese restaurant. I'm surprised that I'm FTR this place since they told me they've been open for over 20 years. Family owned Peking Kitchen offers complete dinners including: soup or salad, fried shrimp, egg roll, and your entree including fried or steamed rice. They also serve orange wedges and two types of cookies for dessert (almond and fortune). This was a great deal at only $7.95 per person at a nice sit-down restaurant. For a starter, I opted for the hot and sour soup opposed to egg drop soup because it's a little bland for me. The hot and sour soup was rich here, with lots of egg, mushroom, and tofu squares. I ordered kung pao chicken as my entree and substituted the water chestnuts for bamboo shoots. This was a good choice since the bamboo was fresh and absorbed the kung pao sauce. The steamed rice was fresh and good as well. The service was very friendly and attentive. I noticed they serve beer, wine (plum and other kinds), soju, and sake. A bottle of imported beer starts at around $3. They also sell dessert type snacks at the front near the cashier including boxes of almond cookies ($2) and Andes mints (3 for .25). I'd definitely return here sometime in the future for lunch or dinner. + genuinely nice owners + great lunch / dinner specials
(4)Javier D.
my order took forever, but it was good. bit expensive. I won't come back though
(3)Steve P.
I found this place driving by, and was quite amazed how good the food is. We had a very good Mooshu Pork, and cashew chicken. All of the dishes came in significantly large portions. I placed my order to go and only had to wait about 15 minutes. All of the dishes were quite flovorful.
(4)Jeanne M.
Just came back from lunch at this place. It's the 2nd time I've eaten here; both times were Executive Lunches for Work Luncheons. Both times have been good food and good times. They have excellent, quick service and decent prices.
(4)gabriel d.
Came here for lunch today. Ordered the spicy chicken plate to go. It came with a side salad, a very small egg roll and rice. A little more than $8. I have had better for a less amount. Food was okay. Food came quickly, looked very slow inside the restaurant, maybe 4 tables being occupied of the 20 or so open, good sign or bad sign...I don't know, check this place out, I probably wouldn't again.
(3)R M.
Very good food and service and prices. Get a lot for the price
(4)Guy B.
Wasn't sure what to expect with the mixed reviews (seems all the Chinese places in the area have mixed reviews). I was taking a small group from work to dinner and the desire was Chinese. Arrived to find the place in a run down looking strip mall that felt to be in a sketchy area..things perked up upon entering and being greeting by this little old Chinese woman. She was bubbly, friendly, and almost impossible to understand. We ordered way too much and everyone was quite pleased with the quality and quantity of the food. Some of our highlights were the pan fried dumplings, broccoli beef, and house fried rice. Those were the faves but all was good. Enjoyed the orange wedges at the end of the meal and the almond cookies that accompanied the fortune cookies and check. For those that are hung up in "authentic" vs "Americanized", know this...you can eat with a fork and the food was delicious with service spot on.
(5)Travel'en C.
Well...some of the reviews hint as to the neighborhood being a bit rough, and they're sort of right. However, I didn't exactly feel like my life was being threatened at gun point either. It just looks like an area that has a few rough edges... That said, it was well worth a 20 minute drive from my hotel. I elected to go with some standby comfort food, chicken and shrimp fried rice and wonton soup - they were both very delicious. The rice was a dark brown like it should've been and the soup was full of flavor. I had asked for real soy sauce and hot mustard instead of the packet stuff...they didn't even put up a fuss and ran back into the kitchen to gram that for me. Most places will just look at you and smile, and say "yeah yeah yeah..." Only to find, when you get back to your room, those crappy tasting replicas of what some call soy sauce and hot mustard - Yuck! So again, thank you for giving me the real deal soy sauce! This is a solid Chinese restaurant in a cozy little neighborhood...just make sure you're "pack'en"!
(4)Stephanie M.
Peking Kitchen is a mom-and-pop, hole-in-the wall joint with GREAT food at very reasonable prices. The neighborhood looks a bit sketchy, but I never have come here for dinner here. So, I do not know how things are at Peking Kitchen at night. For lunch, it feels safe to eat inside the restaurant and walk back to my car, but I usually I am with at least one co-worker. The kung pao chicken and the Chinese green beans are my favorite dishes at Peking Kitchen.
(4)The Continental Life X.
The people could not have been nicer; incredibly cordial on the phone, made suggestions as to what to order and understood our needs. The food itself was well prepared; we had the Kung Pao Chicken, Chow Mein with BBQ Pork, and an order of Mixed vegetables. The addition of the crunchy pan-friend noodles to the Chow Mein was a very nice touch. Overall the food tasted bland to us; the addition of the hot mustard and chili sauce helped a lot in creating sensory interest. Without it, it wasn't as flavorful as we're used to. Again, wonderful people; food was simply less exciting than we're accustomed to.
(3)Sonia B.
Peking Kitchen is a great mom-and-pop run Chinese restaurant with great, inexpensive food at very reasonable prices. It's inside a rather decrepit shopping mall, but do not let the facade fool you. The food and service is wonderful. Just be careful leaving and walking back to your car. When I still lived in Santa Ana, I never would go here alone, especially at night. Otherwise, everything is great here.
(5)Jovi D.
This place deserved all 5 stars. It's definitely a higher quality of Chinese food and was superbly fresh. The parking lot seemed kind of sketchy, but don't let that deter you from trying their food. It was clean and nice, and their House Fried Rice and General Tsao chicken were amazingly delicious. They had some great lunch and dinner deals that included soup, salad or egg rolls, and fried or regular rice and an entree or two. You pay around $8-10 per person for the deals; we didn't end up getting that, but we might next time. I didn't feel disgusting and bogged down after eating, and the meal came with orange slices, almond cookies, and fortune cookies at the end. :)
(5)Joey L.
Always enjoy coming here, the house special is bomb! They are really nice to their customers too!
(4)Gabriela M.
I recently came in & the older Asian woman was there! Quick service, knows what I like and I am very picky with my soup but she understands what I want every time! I look forward to my next visit!
(5)Priyadarshini S.
In short, a good restaurant in a bad neighborhood. Bf and I were looking for the best rated Chinese food in Santa Ana and we decided to check this place out. It turned out to have one of the shadiest parking lots. However, we were greeted by a friendly old lady who is probably the manager. She made us feel comfortable and our orders were brought in quickly! We had the Tsing Tao Chinese beer which was light and nice. The food's serving size was medium. Just the right amount. They have really good dinner deals for $10, $12 and $14 per person. My bf had the beef broccoli while I had the schezwan shredded pork. The egg rolls were good too! 4 stars because of the bad neighborhood. Otherwise, definitely worth the money!
(4)Keith G.
Really bomb Chinese food. I always order the shrimp fried rice and chicken chowmein. They give you 3 extra fortune cookies too!
(4)Alessandra A.
Seriously the best place for Chinese food in Santa Ana! It's a mom and pop place that I've been coming to since I was little. It's only the owners and sometimes some family that work here, and one bus boy, so service can be a little slow at times, but they're always happy to see you! The lunch specials and family dinner specials are a steal! Be warned that the little strip mall that it's in has two dispensaries so there are a couple shady characters out and about, but it's totally worth navigating! May they be around til the end of time cuz I could not imagine life without them!
(5)Ric W.
We thought the food was decent. Too bad they tried to rip us off by charging a few extra dollars over the menu price. I guess they think people won't notice... Not a very nice thing to do to their customers. So make sure to double check the prices before you pay them!
(2)Tammy J.
For the price, taste, and quality of the food at Peking Kitchen, you cannot ask for more! The owners and staff are super nice, and atmosphere of the restaurant is very welcoming, too. I go here at least once a week when I work in Orange County.
(5)Savannah R.
I love this place. More than great quality of fresh food and a nice setting wonderful staff and good is amazing. Every time we go here we always have left over for days.
(5)Daniela G.
Peking Kitchen serves really good Chinese dishes at a reasonable price, particularly because you always have left over food for the next day. I really like the kung pao chicken here, but the roasted duck, vegetable eggrolls, and house special chicken fried rice are great, too.
(5)Kelly O.
I'd venture to say this is the best Chinese food in Santa Ana. Now, that may not be saying much in the city known for it's Latin cuisine but it still bears mentioning. Unfortunately, it's located in a strip mall with a pot shop littered with fake "licensed" loser teenage "patients" hanging out in the rear parking lot waiting their turn to go in and buy weed, the stench of which permeates the entire area. If you can get past that, it's lovely inside and the owners are very hospitable. If they moved closer to Main Place, they'd see their business triple, I'm sure of it; then again, the rent difference most likely would outweigh the income difference. Still, it's worth venturing out into the hood for this place, especially if you're just running in for some takeout.
(4)Vycki B.
The food here is delicious... my fave is their Won Ton soup! Really hits the spot, especially when you are sick! The owners recognize you when you come in and always make you feel welcome. You won't regret trying their yummy food!
(5)Adrena R.
Blown away! We saw the photos on yelp and wanted to try it- I am shocked! The food is so much better than the pictures gave it justice. We ate it too fast to take a picture this time! Next time a photo will follow. Word to the wise- huge portions!!!!
(5)Angie C.
Best Chinese food restaurant ever ! My parents have been going there with me since i was 5. Very friendly people and the food is worth every penny. Great portions, great flavor .
(5)Sandy D.
I have been going to this little "find"for years...great little neighborborhood place...very friendlyand chrisp and clean with pale pink table cloths...Not San Francisco....but darned good...especially for the price!
(4)Mike R.
The food is good but my latest visit was was not enjoyable. We were ordering for 2 and when we placed.our order we were undecided about entrees so the server said she would ask the kitchen if the could do a half order of Orange Chicken. After the food was coming out of the kitchen all we heard was arguing from the kitchen regarding our order the owner or manager was yelling at the server because of the half order of Orange Chicken. The argument went on for about 30 minutes and when we ask to speak to the manager or owner the staff said he was too mad to come out and talk to us. What kind of business makes that kind of scenes where everyone in the restaurant can here and then the server came out of the kitchen crying. Don't think we will return to this establishment, very poor experience. I feel bad for rhe server, she was nice and trying to be accommodating. But I guess the owner would rather have no money than take half orders. I guess he doesn't need our money!
(1)Claudia Q.
I been going here for 9 years and Love there house special fried rice chicken, shrimp and beef one of my favorite plates... portions are large and staff super friendly.
(5)jonathan s.
3.5 Ordered take out on a Saturday night at about 8pm. When I picked everything up there was not one person inside. - General Tso chicken was my favorite. Crispy and good garlic flavor. - Beef pan fried noodle - liked this dish a lot the night we had it. I had the leftovers the next day and it was pretty bad. It didn't save well. Rare for Chinese. - House special shrimp - average. Lots of vegetables. All in all I sort of liked this place. Not a terrible option for being within 10 minutes driving distance for pick up.
(4)Judy C.
First time going there, the food is good, and it's near the school :) I will be coming here a lot hopefully they will know me by now hehe :)
(5)Mirna L.
I've been coming here for over 20 years and it is my favorite spot for Chinese food. Maufu Tofu, almond chicken, and sizzling rice soup are my favorites. Also the chow mein and orange chicken are super yummy as well! Price is reasonable for the quality and amount of food given. I probably order take at least 4 times a month. I'm definitely their #1 customer :)
(5)Robert G.
Food seemed good. Wasnt feeling to well trying to go and he takes a phone call for about 20 minute, hardly made time to take my order. 3 stars for service, 4 stars on the food.
(3)Melissa W.
Cute little place. Owner is very nice. Lunch portions were ok. Good flavors. I like they give soup or salad. And an egg roll. Kylie approved of the broccoli chicken. That is huge!
(4)Kourtnei C.
Extremely friendly staff. They recognize you if you've been there before! I love Chinese food and I love that it tastes authentic! Definitely my go to Chinese food place especially since it right down the street from my house! I always get take out and they make it for me really fast! I pay about the same as I would at PF Changs but twice as much food! They give generously large portions.
(5)Jamie M.
We got some take out- everyone was very nice and helpful. And spoke english well. Chow mien with chicken was great. Had leftovers for lunch the next day. This place has been here for 20 yrs. + Orange chicken was also great.
(4)Corey T.
This place has the best Chinese food I have ever had its in a great location to I love the people here they are very friendly and they take great care of you I would recommend this place to anyone that loves Chinese food
(5)Ian Y.
Great food, very friendly. Got takeout and everything was well packed and still very warm when I got home 20 minutes later.
(4)Jean-Louise J.
We just live it here. Great food, service. Can't be beat. Especially the mushu and Buddha feast.
(5)Brandi P.
this was good I liked it my friend did not...she thought it was greasy and unhealthy. which is true but what do you expect from a hole in the wall Chinese food. I really liked the combination rice
(3)Becky M.
My boyfriend and I met up for lunch. They were kind and friendly and the lunch portions/specials were good. Will definately be back again.
(3)Kiliaen V.
I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Portions are large, prices are reasonable, service is great, food is delicious. Way more than I expected from this little whole in the wall! Free oranges, almond cookies, and fortune cookies when you're through and drinks stay full. They'll be seeing me again soon. :)
(5)Monique M.
One stop you wont regret. Service here is.excellent and there menu is even better. My son is one of the most pickiest eaters ever and he even approves. I definetly recommend this hidden gem.
(5)Meja G.
Don't be fooled by the outside. It is nondescript and has signs in Spanish and English. It was not very inviting but I and 5 friends had driven up from San Diego so we weren't going to leave without checking it out. Can't tell a book by its cover. The interior was nicely decorated and the woman who waited on us was very accommodating. We asked for separate checks - no problem. The Egg Foo Yong I had reminded me of NY. Everyone really liked their dishes. It's a 1/2 mile from the Bowers Museum which I also highly recommend.
(4)J D.
I gave an additional star because the people running the restaurant were very friendly and the service was quick. So I'll be nice. I've been to some awesome Chinese/Vietnamese seafood restaurants in Westminster. Peking Kitchen is like a McDonalds of Chinese restaurants. I get it, some people like McDonalds. Given the 4 stars, some people really liked the Peking Kitchen. Have at it! Much respect to the workers, but I will never return for the food.
(2)Antonio R.
Great spot for Chinese. Food that is. Family style plates, everything on the menu is greasy and delicious. A little steep on the prices for my wallet but good none the less. Wonton soup is pretty delicious as well.
(4)Bob H.
Working in this city for the past 20+ years and I finally decided to stop by this restaurant as I was craving some Chicken Fried Rice. Walked inside and noticed that this place is very clean, decorated nicely and the host was very kind. It's definitely a restaurant not just a fast food stop. The Chicken Fried Rice was a huge portion of pure goodness! Being one of my favorite dishes I must say that Peking Kitchen gets an A+ on theirs. And, there was so much, I have some left over for dinner and breakfast. They have a large menu (got one to go) so I will definitely be coming back to try more of their food.
(5)Thomas K.
Peking kitchen has by far the most amazing home made pot stickers everything else is very tasty as well and the service is very good and very friendly definitely my go to place for great Chinese food
(5)Jason R.
Went on yelp, decided to stop in since I work a block away. Came in an sat down with my 2 buddies. We ordered a meal wanted a side of chow mein and a drink. Total came out to $22!!! WTF!! We asked n the meal was $8 and some change. The side order of chow mein and drink was over $8. Wtf! How's a side order equivalent to a meal?? My other buddy got a lunch special n he paid $12 total with a drink n 2 sides n a soup! Guess that's what I get for telling the lady we were first timers n that all we wanted was chow mein, rice n orange chick with 1 drink! She f-Ing shafted us! We were short $8 n she said we couldn't leave so 1 of us had to run back to work. Dumb experience, will not go there again. Food wasn't even worth that much. I took the leftovers but they didn't even look good to reheat. Tossed that shit! I'd give it 0 stars for customer service etc if I could!!!!!??
(1)Rocio P.
I can't get enough sweet and Sour chicken! Lunch and dinner specials are available. It's a sit down type restaurant and good for small groups. The lunch special is around 6-9 dollars which includes hot tea, fried noodles as an appetizer and your meal (rice and one entree) and an egg roll. This is my favorite place to get lo mein noodles it's worth the the buck and a half.
(5)Phil R.
Been going to this place for 15 years. Food is always very good, service is fast and attentive. Family owned and operated. Favorites include orange chicken and mu-shu pork. Food is plentiful at a great price. I would recommend this small place over any of the corporate chains.
(5)Martha G.
first time here since I work across the street I was craving some Chinese Food and omg its delicious
(5)Carolyn N.
This place sucks. The service is fine for a Chinese restaurant but the food is gross. Based on the tips for this place I got the house special fried rice. You can taste the meat tenderizer in every bite. Not to mention as soon as you walk in you smell the fried/burnt oil. Not sure how it is getting 4 and 5 stars, but as a Chinese person, I'd say this is a barely 2 star place (and I'm being generous).

I've been coming here literally since I could eat solid food. Great service, friendly atmosphere, and the best hot and sour soup I've ever had. The food is great and you get great portions. Whether you've got the time to sit and enjoy, or you're on the go they do take out and walk ups, just try it. As far as the bad reviews on here, my opinion is if you come in with a bad attitude, well why write an emotional review when the food is good.

I ordered take out. Wasn't too sure about this place since it was my first time and I'm not sure how a Chinese restaurant in the heart of Santa Ana would be so I went with the "can't miss" Kung Pao Chicken lunch order. Comes with either white or fried rice, and choice of soup. Let's just say it was an experiment and only an experiment. The results? I won't be coming back. Next time I crave Chinese, I'll look for a place in garden grove.

If you can stomach entering this establishment in the ghetto of Santa Ana it's well worth it. Portion are huge (will have leftovers for a few days, at a fair and reasonable price, and food is very tasty. I had the Garlic Beef with fried rice. Sauce was delicious and beef was tender.

The food is fantastic...mom came to visit for a month and she is gluten free...she was able to enjoy a great meal and we have been here at least 4 times since her arrival. The waitress is so friendly and the food is always more than enough...the hot and sour soup yummy...rice noodles to die for/homemade...fried rice and tons of shrimp...this is a great place...looking forward to our next visit.

I walked in for the first time today and ordered the sweet and sour pork with egg flower soup and fried rice lunch special for $6.95. I have driven by this place hundreds of times but never stopped in. I don't know how I have missed such a gem right down the street from my home. The sweet and sour pork was fresh and moist. The sauce has an amazing flavor of bell pepper and pineapple. I've never had sweet and sour pork with such an amazing and fresh flavor. I will be coming back many times from now on. I can't believe I've missed this place for so long.

Been a big fan of Chinese food I decided to try this hole in the wall in the heart of Santa Ana. I arrived here on a Sunday afternoon there were about five tables been served at this time. We were sat and it seem like more people were arriving, after been there for10 minutes they took our order. But I noticed that other takes that arrived after we had were been served first of course you can tell they were regulars cause the leidy waitress was very familiar with their order. 39 minutes later after reminding the bus boy that we were still waiting for our food they brought or appetizers. Man! About this time I was ready to walk out of this place but I was in for a big surprise, the flavor of this food was unique very exquisite flavor their house especial fried rice was unique the bean sprouts gave it the special crunchyness perfect texture the chicken and vegetable dish was delicious and the chicken kung pao wow!! Worth the wait. I give this place three starts cause of the long wait and service I totally understand when a restaurant is busy but I don't agreed that they serve other tables first when they had arrived after us. The food was excellent and I will return and give it a second chance.
