The Little Kitchen Asian Cafe — Restaurant in Dana Point

Lovely sit-down Chinese restaurant with absolutely delicious entrees and generous portions. We'd been there on a previous trip to the area and looked forward to visiting again. This time, my husband and I shared three entrees: Szechuan Pork, Pork Egg Foo Young, and Mixed Vegetables.

The vegetables in all three entrees were very fresh and crispy, and all had plenty of sauce to spoon over the rice (a light garlic sauce for the veggie dish and soy based sauce for the other two entrees). The Szechuan Pork had lots of delicious vegetables in addition to the thin, but plentiful, tender pork strips.

The Egg Foo Young was different than we're used to, but yummy. We've always had lots of veggies, especially bean sprouts, and pieces of the meat we chose mixed into the egg mixture and fried up into patties and then covered in gravy. This restaurant had flatter, pancake-like patties, quaterered and in the sauce along with many slices of pork and plenty of vegetables. Different, but absolutely delicious!

Our server was efficient, friendly and funny. The food was way too much, but of course we'd ordered three entrees for the the two of us, and so we ate probably more than we should have at the restaurant (but it was hard to stop!), took the leftovers back to our resort and enjoyed then for lunch the next couple of days. Since the restaurant is in a small shopping center, finding...

PLEASE READ: My wife and i just started throwing up at the same time about 20 minutes after eating their food. I just called and said “i’m not looking for a refund, just letting you know that we have food poisoning…etc” the lady said that i’m wrong and doesn’t have time to talk to me and hung up. The food tasted amazing but we’re throwing up in sync so….. maybe throw away your batch of beef and listen to your customers before you get more people sick.

7/22 follow up- The male manager was extremely nice after we returned the food last time after I explained what happened. He offered a credit or a refund and I took the credit to give them another chance. The female on the phone Rebecca said that I’m wrong and people cannot get sick from food and this has never happened. I said this is very rude for you to go back and forth… she continued to argue and say that we are wrong and they have never had a single complaint. I hate to be the guy that leaves a negative review and I was hoping to remove this post but Rebecca needs to take a Serv safe class and possibly go to a seminar on how to treat customers with respect. Hope we don’t get sick this time. To end with a quote from her “we cooked it more for you this time so that you don’t get sick again.” Thank you Rebecca,...

I am visiting from St George Utah to Orange county which is really home for me. I am an implant from California to Utah caregiving for my mother. My go-to comfort food is wonderful, fresh, tasty, Chinese food! I had another restaurant in mind that I was going to for years. But I'm staying at the local Residence Inn, and they highly recommended the "Little Kitchen Asian Cafe." I wanted a variety and more than enough to eat the second day reheating in a toaster oven. My order consist of appetizer fried shrimp, orange zest chicken, combination meat egg foo young, combination fried rice, and the best vegetable was the sauteed green beans and asparagus, honey walnut shrimp. Oh my goodness! The portions were great but the food and the taste was by far superb! first time trying the food on my vacation break and before I head back to Utah I will be revisiting the restaurant once again for takeout. I highly recommend this place if you like good Asian cuisine. Everything was so authentic and fresh ingredients.When I'm in Dana Point again which I try to come back home at least once a year. This will be my...
