Kitchen has dropped off. Made a to go order. Kitchen beef is beef and broccoli NOT what is described on the menu. Fried dumplings are put into a sealed container so when they get home they’re soggy. Lo mein is dry and tasteless. We used to totally love this place but this last order was on the verge of uneatable.

I ordered the orange chicken after I got off work and ordered it as a pick up as they were closing soon. The meal was delicious and exactly what I needed after a long day. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the rice was fresh and steaming. The staff were very friendly and provided great customer service. They kindly gave me a free soup!

Paid extra for white meat only chicken. Have ordered it in the past at least 8 times. It looked and tasted like thigh meat. I called to ask if there was a mistake with order and was told it was white meat but it may have been overcooked. She was very rude. Perhaps it was overcooked because it was tough and chewy and in small hard pieces like the bottom of a bag of beef jerky. We had to throw half of it away. The quality has diminished over the past few months. Their chow mein is also very greasy and lacks flavor.

The Little Kitchen Asian Cafe is a cozy establishment tucked away in Dana Point. The atmosphere has a sizzle in the air from the open style kitchen. The service was wonderful. My wife and I were greeted and felt welcome from the moment we walked in. You know the food is going to be excellent when you can smell it from the parking lot. I ordered the Orange chicken, and my wife ordered garlic shrimp. We shared a vegetable fried rice and had fried dumplings for our appetizer. If you're a fan of Asian cuisine, this restaurant is a must try. The proportions are quite large, so make sure you bring your appetite. We will definitely be coming back to taste more from the menu.

Very tasty Asian food. I am typically drawn to sweet and sour chicken and chicken fried rice, and their versions of these dishes did not disappoint. Yum! The interior of the restaurant is very clean and nice—among the nicest that I have seen for this type of food, and the staff was very friendly. Notwithstanding the excellent dining area, because you are so close to Dana Point Harbor, I recommend getting the food to go, and go eat outside with a view. The prices reflect the impact of our beloved inflation, but they are relatively fair. Check the photos for a better understanding of the view. It’ll make the experience even better.
