Din Tai Fung

Famous for its world-renowned soup dumplings (xiao long bao), Din Tai Fung is a must-visit. With every bite, you’ll experience a little dumpling heaven. Their handmade dumplings are a work of art, and their noodle dishes are equally as flavorful. I love the Fried Pork Chop, Pork Xiao Long Bao, and Shrimp Fried Rice. It’s perfect for date nights and family dinner.

Capital Seafood

If you’re a dim sum lover, Capital Seafood is your go-to spot. Their carts are loaded with every kind of dumpling, bun, and roll imaginable, and everything is super fresh. It’s like a dim sum parade at your table! I really love the Honey Walnut Shrimp, House Special Lobster, and French-style beef. It’s great for weekend brunch with friends and family.

New Moon

A blend of traditional Chinese flavors with a modern California twist, New Moon delivers Chinese-American favorites in a trendy setting. Think crispy egg rolls, orange chicken, and their famous Chinese chicken salad. Perfect for those looking for comfort classics done right. I love the Hong Kong-style Chow Mein, BBQ Pork, and Crispy Orange Peel Beef! It’s great for date nights or a casual meal… and the service is amazing.

A&J Restaurant

A&J Restaurant serves up delicious Taiwanese and Northern Chinese comfort food. Their beef noodle soup is legendary, and their cold appetizers, like cucumber salad and spicy beef tripe, are the perfect way to kick off your meal. I love Beef Noodle Soup, Beef Rolls, or Pork Pancake. So many good choices on their menu! It’s a great place for some real comfort food!

Peking Restaurant

Known for its authentic Northern Chinese cuisine, Peking Restaurant offers classic dishes like Peking duck, handmade dumplings, and hearty noodle dishes. Their traditional flavors make it a standout for anyone seeking a taste of Beijing. I love the Salt and Pepper Pork Chop, House Fried Rice, and the Combination Pan Fried Noodles. It’s a great place for family dinners, and you’ll never leave disappointed!

Northern Cafe

Northern Cafe is a hit for those craving hand-pulled noodles and authentic dumplings. This spot brings Northern Chinese flavors to life with dishes like beef noodle soup and crispy pan-fried dumplings that are out of this world. I love the Beef Noodle Soup, Pan-Fried Dumplings, and Chow Mein. Perfect to pick up or for a casual night out.

Chang’s Garden

OK, it’s a little bit outside OC, but totally worth the short drive! Chang’s Garden is famous for its homestyle Shanghainese dishes, including savory dumplings and richly flavored noodle soups. This place will have you thinking you’re in Shanghai itself! I love the Spicy Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and the Scallion Pancake. Really any order you get is fantastic! I can’t pick a favorite!
