Loc Noodle & Dumpling Bar Reviews
Plenty of parking. Easy to get a seat on a Friday night. Service was great. Server was extremely friendly Food had great flavor... green beans were a little on the salty side. Will definitely go back.
It's nice to have a restaurant like this in the area. I've liked everything I've tried with the exception of the soup which was a bit of a let down for me as the broth was quite bland. My favorite is the Mapo tofu which is semi soft tofu is a spicy Schwan sauce with ground meat. Make sure to order some white rice to soak up the sauce. The eggplant with garlic sauce was soooo good. The skin of the eggplant is crispy while the inside is soft and buttery. The sauce is the definition of tasty umami. I would return just for that! You order by scanning a QR code posted in a sticker at the table. The problem is that reception is not great for everyone at this location. I was able to view the menu and order while my husband could do neither. Once you are done you can't pay with the app and must call the waiter over to pay. Feels a little convoluted. Service is efficient but not quite friendly. This doesn't bother me as long as the food is good, which has been the case every time I've visited. Definitely worth trying.
I saw that Loc opened a few months ago so I decided to go here with my daughter for our monthly "noodle date." The menu had a great selection of appetizers, noodles, entrees, and dumplings. We ordered the chicken fried noodles and juicy pork dumplings. It was our first time trying juicy dumplings, and they did not disappoint. The food was fresh and flavorful. I'm planning on returning with my whole family soon so we can try the rest of their dishes and dumplings.
Everything we ordered was so good that we were literally shocked that we were in ladera ranch rather than Irvine!! We ordered the pork XLB. It's no DTF, but still very flavorful and thin wrapping that it was a winner! Next we got the beef roll! This comes with 4 big slices, so it's great to share! The scallion roll was flakey and yummy while the beef and veg inside were juicy and spot on!! We also got the popcorn chicken because I dream of popcorn chicken and boba on the regular. And this legit made me smile.... Because I no longer need to drive to Irvine to get my popcorn chicken fix!!!! This place was legit, although I wish we could ask to make it spicer. The spicy wontons was the BIG TIME winner as it was flavorful and perfection, very similar to the one at DTF!! Lastly we got the Dan Dan noodles. These coulda def been more peanuty and spicy... but overall delish!! We would hands down order everything again and actually can't wait to go back... and order everything and maybe some new items as well! I will say service was really nice and fast. The restaurant is very clean and new and prices were great! I hope this place stays around for awhile! I know a lot of Asian families who have been waiting for a restaurant like this in the area!!!
