💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra rice if you plan to eat the traditional way by finishing your main dish first before adding soup or noodles.
- Ask for 'sin aceite' (no oil) on stir-fries if you want a lighter version of the classic chifa style.
- Bring cash as many small chifa spots in Santa Ana do not accept credit cards or digital payments.
