Where to eat Chinese food in Santa Ana.

Little Pan describes its pan-fried buns as a Shanghai food with a soupy interior and crisp pan-cooked bottom. The Santa Ana branch is unit 202 at Hutton Centre Drive; its regular ordering menu separately names xiao long bao, pan-fried buns and egg-containing vegetable chow mein.

Build an order. Special Xiao Long Bao/8pcs 特色小笼包/8pcs $12.99 appears in the regular Appetizers menu. House Special Pan-Fried Pork Bun(6 Counts) 招牌生煎 6pc $11.99 is a separate pan-fried bun item. Vegetable Chow Mein (Contains Egg) 蔬菜炒面 (含鸡蛋) $13.99 explicitly contains egg; Shiitake Vegetarian Spring Rolls (2 Pieces) 香菇素春卷 (两个) $4.99 is another named vegetarian-relevant order. The xiao long bao heading states eight pieces; the pan-fried bun heading states six. Separately, the prepared Catering section lists Special Xiao Long Bao (32 Counts) 小笼包 (32 counts) $48.99. The English and Chinese headings both state 32 counts; this separate order does not change the eight-piece regular appetizer price or establish current availability.
