Dun Huang - Irvine

Authentic Chinese food in DJ Irvine plaza.

We came here to celebrate a girlfriend’s birthday and it’s one of the rare places in Diamond Jamboree plaza that allowed us to make a reservation for our party of 6. All the food was delicious and came out really quickly. We loved the meat skewers, the beef stew noodle soup, the soupy dumplings, bok choy, etc. Will definitely come back to eat again!

Don Huang recently changed its restaurant name to Noodle Nest but has the same interior. I’ve been here once before and the visit was mediocre. Today’s visit exuded a similar feeling, but to be fair, I didn’t order a noodle soup. The eggplant salad is phenomenal and 5/5, but my beef skewers were just so-so.

The lamb skewers and the beef skewers were both good, but I preferred the lamb more. Generous portions of noodle for the entree. No queue and service was good. Food comes out quickly after ordering. $57 after tax and tip for two adults for lunch.
