Laguna Hills - Classic Chinese, they have a wide variety of cantonese food to choose from. Better than the other cantonese food places in Irvine. They have roast duck but you may have to order in advance. No dim sum here though.
Beef noodle soup in irvine… I’d rank them He’s Noodle, bafang…
So many good Chinese places in Irvine and new ones popping up all the time. My current favorite are:
Delicious Food Corner - really good Hong Kong food that’s not dim sum.
Noodle St - good place for knife cut (shave) noodles (Fullerton location has a bigger menu, Irvine is like the express)
He’s Noodle Zone - really good spicy noodles
Qin West - spicy Liang Pi noodles
