Typical Chinese Cuisines in Anaheim

Fried Butter Prawns

My family and I went out for dinner with some of our friends that lived in Orange County when we were visiting. Earlier in that day we went to the Disneyland Theme Park but left the park at about four o'clock to join the friends for a dinner. We were introduced to this Chinese restaurant in Anaheim which serves typical Chinese cuisines. Before we arrive, our friends had told us about what to expect in terms of authenticity and taste of the cuisines served there. But it is one of those that they would frequent. The restaurant is also owned by a friend's friend and the cuisines should be somewhat satisfactory. I did not know what to expect but had confidence that it should be a good place to dine. Especially, when entering a diner that was packed with happy customers.

Fried Beef Noodle

Service was really good in Lakeside Chinese Restaurant. It was warm and friendly. Many of the diners in the restaurant were locals. And, I guess we were the only people from outside the area. The cuisines were suitable for the local taste and flavours. The cuisines were actually prepared for the local diners, they were not Shanghai, Cantonese or even anything that I was familiar with. It is a restaurant serving very localized Chinese cuisines but was satisfactorily good for the local taste and flavours. The cuisines served were sweeter, less spicy, and lacked the flavours found in most Chinese cooking.

Sweet and Sour Chicken

We had several different cuisines and though they all taste different and unique, I personally prefer to dine in the Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. I guess we have more food diversity in Vancouver. Maybe there are better diversity in the Chinese cuisines in Los Angeles just as Vancouver and I have not been introduced to any of them yet. In general, I have had a wonderful dining experience and would probably return in the near future for a longer stay to try out some of the eateries serving more authentic cuisines.
