“ I'm not experienced in the noodle options in Irvine/OC but I enjoyed my meal here. On a Monday night, it was empty so we were served our food very quickly. We got the pork pita burger, sesame peanut noodles, and braised beef noodles. The burger is pretty plain in terms of flavor but I dipped it in my leftover soup broth and it tasted better. The sesame peanut noodles were really tasty, just wish you could add a protein. The beef noodles were filing and had a delicious broth that was slightly sweet. I think this is a good choice especially if you want freshly made hand pulled noodles. ”
“ A must-visit for noodle lovers！ The Lamb Skewers perfectly spiced, and Suo Yi Cucumber crisp and refreshing. Chicken Wonton Soup is comforting, and Sweet Rice Wine Balls make a perfect sweet finish. ”
“ Order off a barcode on your smart phone...The food looks and smells good though. Interior is clean. The beef noodle soup is superb. ”
“ Four stars for an overall good experience, but if you are expecting this to be on par with Din Tai Fung, then I would lower the expectations a bit. When you sit down, you scan the QR code on the table which brings you to the menu in which you can order directly from your phone. Once the order is placed, the server will bring the food to your table. When paying, you will need to flag down a server so complete the payment as you will not be able to pay over the phone. We ordered the original Lanzhou beef noodles and braised beef noodles. For appetizers, we ordered marinated cucumbers and scallion pancakes. You have an option of the type of noodle you want, ranging from thick and thin, straight and curly. The noodle portions were quite large so I was happy with that. If you are hungry for noodles, this place will definitely give you enough noodles. I enjoyed the scallion pancakes. They were flaky with enough flavor. The marinated cucumbers were also a nice appetizer. ”
“ I've noticed this place every time I'm eating in Diamond Jamboree but never stopped by until now. It was sooo goood I stopped taking photos of everything else we ordered because we were too busy eating! The prices are fair - our family style lunch was less than $20 per person. We will definitely be lunch regulars for those hand pulled chili oil noodles!! Service was solid & the food came out fast. We ordered 5 things and our favorites from greatest to least were: Chili Oil Noodles - so flavorful with wide hand pulled noodles Pork & Shrimp Fish Roe Wontons - juicyy & the sauce was so flavorful & slightly tart, we dipped the other dumplings into this sauce as well Lamb and Cumin Fried Rice - solid fried rice Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodles - didn't love this after the flavor bombs that came before it. The broth was mild and good on its own, but too bland for all the noodles. Chicken Dumplings - standard dumplings! ”
“ My first time trying Dun Huang with a huge group of coworkers. We tried a variety of dishes. There were so many but among the dishes that stood out to me was the marinated cucumber appetizer, the chicken skewers, the braised beef noodles, shrimp fried rice, pork Xiao long bao, and big plate chicken with wide noodles. Everything was pretty tasty and the food came out pretty quick and the portions were generous. ”
