" Our family loves coming here! The menu has something for everyone and the taste is always rich and flavorful. The service is usually good, but we had one server who kept forgetting our drinks. Nonetheless, we didn't let that ruin the meal, and we all enjoyed our dishes. I recommend trying the egg rolls! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at The Little Kitchen is like a warm hug! The food is just what I've been searching for; authentic and fresh. I highly recommend the garlic shrimp and the kung pao chicken. They have the best fried rice around! Plus, they serve generous portions, we always leave with leftovers. The ambiance is relaxed, and the service is superb. I feel right at home here. " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe is a hidden gem! The moment we walked in, the aroma of the food was intoxicating. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the Kung Pao chicken and garlic shrimp, both of which were bursting with flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our dining experience even better. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Asian cuisine. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about The Little Kitchen! It's a wonderfully cozy place with an inviting atmosphere. The food is fresh and authentic, which is hard to find these days. My family tried the orange chicken, beef with broccoli, and some dumplings. Each dish was full of flavor, and we left completely stuffed. The staff was quick to serve us and very friendly. I will be a regular here when I'm in Dana Point! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a fan of this restaurant! They serve large portions at great prices. I'm always satisfied with my meal. On my last visit, I had the sesame chicken, which was crispy and flavorful. The service was kind and welcoming, the ambiance is pleasant. It's become my go-to place whenever I crave Asian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a nice little cafe! I love the vibe and decor. The food gives you a classic Asian experience with plenty of flavor, really, but I found my sweet and sour chicken a bit too sweet for my taste. That said, my husband's dish was perfect, so I guess it just varies a bit. Worth popping in to try a few dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited The Little Kitchen after hearing great things about it. The food did not disappoint at all! However, we did face a little delay in our order. Nonetheless, the shrimp fried rice was one of the best I've had, and the portions were generous, so we had leftovers. I love that they also offer vegetarian options. I would recommend dining in to fully enjoy the experience! " (*Curated Review*)
