Great food. The beef broth in the beef broth noodles was delicious. If you like super flavorful foods, you might find the noodles a little bland. The pastry pancake thing had a great texture, perhaps a little heavy on the baking soda. The service was generally good despite the restaurant being obviously very busy and probably short staffed by a few people. If you have any sound sensory sensitivity, I wouldn't go at peak times as there's a lot of noise customers, phones, and staff. I would go back to try a few more of the items, e.g. breakfast on weekends looks legit.
Amazing as always. This time I got the jjia-jjang mian {black bean sauce noodles with minced pork), pan fried beef bun, cucumbers in spicy garlic sauce, and pork xia long bao (pork soup dumplings). Used to frequent this spot almost everyday when I lived in Costa Mesa. Now, if/when I'm nearby I make sure to go! Sad to see the other locations have all closed now and it's just the Irvine location. If anyone knows why, let me know. I asked and all I got was that the Irvine location was the busiest...ah, well, as long as I can get my grub on at an A&J I'm happy.
AYCE KBBQ. Waiting is long, but you can check in via Yelp. The service is good and the meat selection is as expected for the carnivorous meal you consume and digest in the next days. It will definitely be a meat heavy, high protein, and plentiful banana spread type of meal you should only have once in a while, otherwise I would ask how your intestine will be the incessant investment of red meat you consume in a session. Tip: Always ask for onions, mushrooms and garlic slices to improve the meat as it cooks.
The food here is great and fresh. All their dishes are excellent. We ordered the cold noodles (涼麵), which were incredibly refreshing on this hot day. I loved all their Japanese dishes as well. The service was faster and more efficient, and they take COVID precautions seriously. This is the real deal—authentic and delicious Taiwanese cuisine.

A J's is an excellent choice if you're looking for affordable Chinese dishes served quickly. The food is quite tasty, and from what I gather, it has a Taiwanese flair. My only complaint is that the portion sizes are on the smaller side—I would love to see larger servings. The atmosphere is enjoyable when it's clean and welcoming.
People there are very friendly and the food is delicious. We were here a few times and enjoy their food and sauces. The restaurant was about half full and each table had friendly conversations. I think the best is if I hungry children eyeballs eat and the buttons ready for the festival. It is a good time
After a long time away, I finally had the chance to dine here again with a friend. It was just as I remembered. The decor is simple, with uncomplicated wooden tables. Unlike many other Chinese restaurants, the menu doesn’t overwhelm you; it features all the classic dishes you come to expect.
Love their handmade fat noodles (I think they were hand made? the fried pork chops were very tasty, much better than what we had in NYC few weeks ago. Wish the soup was a little more flavorful. I would imagine it would have been better if eaten fresh in the restaurant.

This place is packed with flavor. Look at the pictorial menu and order what looks good. They all taste authentic and great. There might be a line so get there early and parking can be tough so get there early.
