About Frank’s dumplings & noodles
"A lifetime's dedication to perfect a bowl of soup" Our savory fish soup is made with wild caught fish, free range chicken, scallop and other hand picked delicate ingredients. We gently simmer all the ingredients for 180 minutes straight to fully bring out the nutrition and freshness as well as to infuse the broth with enriched flavor. We make no more than 53 bowls of soup with every 132 lbs of meat to reinforce the milky white in color and the richness in flavor.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Lake Forest; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Lake Forest is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Lake Forest follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.

Yummy food with reasonable price. We like the duck rice noodle soup the best. Place is a little unsanitary because we saw a spider crawling around our table.

A friend brought us to try this noodle spot in Lake Forest. This restaurant is part of the Shang Shui group, which has two locations next to each other. We visited the simpler Shang Shui Noodle House(Frank’s dumplings and noodles) while the restaurant next door, Shang Shui Bistro(Frank’s bistro Chinese cuisine) , focuses more on elevated Hunan and Cantonese dishes. Once we walked in, we could just find a seat and order through the QR code menu. It was convenient since we could take our time looking through the options. We ordered: ▶️ Roasted Duck Noodle Soup $19.99 ▶️ House Special Fish Fillet Noodle Soup $15.99 ▶️ Pork Knuckle Noodle Soup $16.99 Everything tasted pretty good! I ordered the signature fish fillet noodle soup, which was one of their recommended dishes. My husband thought the fish soup had the best flavor among the three dishes we tried. The portions were just right, and the prices were very reasonable. For the noodles, I would recommend choosing udon or ramen. My husband and our friend chose rice noodles, but they became too soft and broke apart easily when picking them up with chopsticks. After dinner, we stopped by Frank’s bistro Chinese cuisine next door to

📍【Shang Shui Noodle House, Lake Forest】| A Hidden Gem That Our Family of Five All Loved‼️ 👨👩👧👦Finding a restaurant that satisfies both adults and kids is never easy—but this spot in Lake Forest totally impressed us! Every dish was on point, and the whole family left happy and full. 👍 🔥 Highly Recommended Dishes: 🥞 Crispy Beef Pancake Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. Dip it in the house sauce for an extra punch of flavor. My husband absolutely loved it! 🐟 Pickled Fish Vermicelli Soup Tender fish fillets, tangy pickled veggies, and chewy rice noodles. You can adjust the spice level when ordering. Very refreshing and perfect for summer. 🍜 Salted Egg Yolk & Chinese Sausage Fried Rice Huge portion! The rice is well-separated and flavorful. The salted egg yolk adds a rich, savory kick, and the sausage makes it even more delicious. Our three little “food monsters” devoured it! 🥟 Shrimp & Pork Soup Dumplings Juicy and bursting with soup! The shrimp are huge. As a Shanghainese girl, I totally approve. 🐷 Spicy Stir-Fried Pork Intestine Even though I’m from Shanghai, I love spicy food‼️ This one had the perfect level of heat. The intestines were soft and flavorful—s

Sheuing Shui Restaurant is hands down one of the best spots for fish noodles in all of Orange County! Whether I’m grabbing a quick bite during a busy workday or enjoying a relaxed meal with family, this place has become my go-to.

I love this place. I always order their signature Fish Rice Noodle Soup. It has fish, clams, tofu, fish balls, and vegetables in there. The broth has a umami that's really tasty. Best for cold weather days. They have a lot of options on their menu to choose from even if you're not a fish rice noodle person. The restaurant is clean and bright. Highly recommended if you're looking for a Chinese food place in Lake Forest area.
