    F5.Pork & Shrimp Dumplings(8)
    Sydney W.

    Greeted with a warm smile when you walk in. You order at the counter and then they bring food to the table rather quickly with a smile. Portions were huge for the price but the star of the show was the hand pulled noodles for sure. The beef roll had GREAT flavor. The string beans could use some chili oil which I did. But all in all, I've already returned once LOL. I plan to do it again!

    S1.Pork Xiao Long Bao(8) - made correctly and true to taste

    We were famished and were looking for something familiar but different for dinner. Yelp suggested 88 Baobao and we were happy to try them in McKinney Tx, as we had tried and liked their Dublin CA branch in earlier! First of all a wide smile and eagerness to serve seemed ingrained into the staff here. We ordered quickly and our food was brought quickly ! It was served piping hot and for the first time in a long while I thoroughly enjoyed slurping my XLB while came in quickly and almost too hot to eat! Yumm! We also got the HarGaw and enjoyed them thoroughly as well ! Portion sizes were huge so the Shrimp Fried Rice and the Kung Pao Chicken that we ordered, though tantalizingly inviting, had to be taken as to go after only a few bites! We loved everything about this place and place to come again very soon!

    Tried this new spot on a Sunday evening for a late dinner! We got there about 45 minutes before they closed and we were so glad we came! The service was quick and the cashier provided lots of helpful suggestions! We were only seated at our table for a matter of minutes before our first item was delivered to the table (given there was only one other table dinning at that time). We got an order of the pork xiao long bao, chili crisp wontons (pork and shrimp), and orange chicken! Everything was absolutely delicious and tasted super fresh! 1. The Xiao long bao was cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of soup inside! The broth and the meat were both super flavorful 2. The orange chicken was crispy and covered with sauce! The only thing I wish was different was that it came with a side of rice but we ended up just ordering a side. 3. The Chili Crisp Wontons were my husband's favorite! I had a couple and the flavors were amazing but be warned these are definitely spicy! We definitely got ice cream a few doors down at Stella's afterward! This place is super clean and cute. And for a fast causal asian restaurant this may be my new favorite! I can't wait to come back and explore more the menu!

    Sesame Chicken and Chicken Lo Mein. Both were incredible.

    Fire Excellent food Great overall experience. Will be my go to Chinese spot from here on out.

    If I were to get one thing it's the Taiwan beef noodle soup (R4)! The broth is delicious and the meat is tender! The noodles in the soup were also amazing and It had bok choy. Another favorite is the beef roll! It has a sweet glaze inside with beef and veggies!

    Authentic. The dumplings and steamed buns were delicious. Try the egg custard filled and red bean filled. They are sweet so enjoy the savory menu items first. This is an "order at the counter and find a table" place. They bring the order to your table as each item is made, so you need to keep track to make sure you got everything you ordered. Our party was missing two items and we had to keep asking. The take out business was brisk. Good value, cafeteria style atmosphere, very good quality buns.

    We have eaten here twice now, once dine in and once as take out. The owners (Joyce and a tall guy, didn't get his name, but both so nice and very welcoming, polite). The food is AMAZING and made fresh to order. The owners check EVERY plate coming out of the kitchen (I watched them do this), so you know they are on top of the quality. The wonton soup we had was delicious, loved the broth. The dumplings are so fresh and tender. Only wish would be to add a wor wonton option with bbq pork. My son had the hand pulled noodles which he LOVED. My husband (He's Chinese, born and raised in Hong Kong and then the San Francisco area), loves the food and said repeatedly it's the best he's had since moving here from the SF area.

    Beef pan fried dumplings
    Fibber M.

    Doup dumplings were awesome. The pan fried pork bun equally delicious with a little soy sauce. Beef pan fried dumplings were ok didn't pop flavor wise but still good. Everything cane out piping hot and restaurant was empty but clean with friendly young staff at front register.

    Lo Mein noodles no veggies with shrimp and R3.Beef Lo Mein
    Leticia M.

    My son and I were looking for something different than our usual spots, found this place on Yelp. Oh wow the food is absolutely delicious. I had the beef and broccoli so delicious and my son had the lo mein noodles w shrimp and beef. The noodles were absolutely amazing. My son is picky when it comes to noodles but he is already planning our next trip out. Thank you for making our mother son dinner date night a success.

    First time here and I ordered takeout for pickup. Food was flavorful, staff were very friendly and the place was very clean. I would definitely go back to eat in. Nice to find a Chinese restaurant in my local area in McKinney

    P2.Scallion Pancake
    Lulu C.

    We ordered quite a few items. Best out of all was salt and pepper shrimp. Beef roll also good but this location fry it too much, same for the green onion pancake. String beans had good flavor but slight fishy somehow. Didn't have good luck to get fresh Cucumber salad this time. Pan fried dumplings also on point. Might skip green onion pancake and maybe wonton.

Bathrooms are cute, clean, and well stocked. What I didn't care for... I received my Mongolian beef early. My husband didn't get his orange chicken for 20ish minutes. I had a few bites but waited, we typically eat together. After 15 minutes, the eggrolls came out hot and fresh, now my food is getting cooler and the hubby still hasn't received his meal. All of this to say, consider making the easier dish later so they can be done together or hold meals until they can be served together. There was a long wait between food delivery, drink refills, and check, but in our servers defense: he was the only one serving, and it got busy for lunch. I may try it again when in the area

He offered suggestions and told us if there was anything we did not like to let him know. We had a lot of different things. The Red Devil Beef was super flavorful and like nothing I had before. It was a spicy but doable and full of yum. We also had the beef flat noodle, black bean chicken garlic, rangoons and green beans. When I say everything was cooked perfectly I mean everything. When I started writing the review I had it as 4 stars. I am often hesitant on giving a 5 on my first visit. Due to Ty taking personal accountability and catering to make everything just right I felt the 5 was well deserved. My only feedback is I felt the prices were just a little higher than expected. It was not ridiculous and maybe it is inflation. Regardless their food is good.

My first visit was solo, since I'd been curious for some time. It was just me, a bowl of wonton soup, and some Kung Pao Chicken, and the whole experience felt like I'd been teleported to a cozy spot in San Francisco. Warm ambiance, incredible food, and that "I could sit here for hours" vibe. I ate at the bar, which is by the entrance, people watched and enjoyed my delicious food. Naturally, I went back with a couple friends and my wife... and that's when things escalated. We ordered like we were feeding a small village. Kung Pao (again, because it's that good), House Special Soup Bao, chicken lo mein, pepper chicken, General Tso's chicken, and a bunch of other dishes that I lost track of somewhere between "wow" and "how are we still eating." Every single plate was fantastic. Not just "good for a group order," not just "surprisingly solid," it was legitimately delicious across the board. The table looked like a celebration, and we treated it like one. Every single dish was a great portion size, delicious, and tasted WONDERFUL. By the end, our eyes were definitely bigger than our bellies, but honestly, if you're going to over‑order anywhere, this is the place to do it. I can't wait to go back... though next time I'll try to show at least a little self‑control. No promises. Chef Sun's is officially one of my favorite spots. Great food, great atmosphere, and the kind of consistency that keeps you planning your next visit before you've even left the parking lot. I give this place my Arnold Schwarzenegger - "I'LL BE BACK!"

When we got to out table we didn't know what to expect, The menu was packed with so many options so we tried a few different apps and dishes to share. We went with the popcorn chicken, chicken & shrimp shumai, steamed green beans, and cumin lamb. The popcorn chicken was awesome. Just the experience of it. You're presented with a bouquet of popcorn chicken. The chicken was flavorful and had a nice amount of spice to it. I opted not to add any chilis to my bites as I found the chicken alone to be just the right amount of spice. Would recommend this dish for the experience mainly. The chicken and shrimp shumai was outstanding. One of my friends has a strong dislike of any shrimp dish, but truly loved this. It was perfectly seasoned and so tasty. The steamed green beans were great and had the perfect amount of crunch. While the cumin lamb was seasoned well and tasted great. The only miss was the fried rice. I was honestly surprised that execution was so strong with everything else, but the rice lacked flavor. That said, I'd gladly come to Chef Sun's again.

We ordered a bit of everything as we read the reviews and FOMO kicked in while reading the menu. We ordered: Fries Pork lo mein Steak fried rice 20 wings with three different sauces: mild buffalo, sticky Asian , and the Joe's spicy lemon-pepper. We also ordered draft beers to wash it all down. The fries came out...nice and crispy with great seasoning. The draft beers are super cold and fresh. The steak fried rice is excellent...a touch of garlic on the super tender steak and the rice is cooked perfectly The pork noodles followed and are delightful and full of flavor. The wings came out next and the buffalo and sticky Asian are nice size wings and really amazing to taste. Joe's lemon pepper options is a dry rub on wings that you can hear the crunch when you bite down. A pop of lemon with a back end of spice in pepper. I leave 5 star reviews but this place has me wishing there was a 6th star available as an option. All this almost made me forgo complement the excellent service we received from Ireland and Chris. The portions are huge, the service is over the top, and this is truly the best wings and Asian food I can remember enjoying in many, many years.

First, many of the dishes lacked the authenticity. The hot and sour soup wasn't sour at all and was overwhelmed by the flavor of sesame oil. The black bean noodles tasted like instant noodles you could make at home, and we ended up adding black vinegar ourselves just to bring some acidity and balance to the dish. The sweet chili shrimp also didn't taste fresh. At the end of our meal, we literally said "this tasted like Chinese buffet food." The service and dining environment made the experience even worse. Throughout our meal, we constantly heard dishes being slammed around from servers cleaning tables. At one point, something was dropped so hard that dishes shattered across the floor. A trash cart was parked right next to our booth while we were eating, and the staff even started mopping the floor directly in front of us during the lunch rush. I understand that restaurants often hire seasonal staff during the summer, but proper training is still important. The way the dishes were handled throughout our meal was loud, chaotic, and disruptive, making it difficult to enjoy our dining experience. It's unfortunate because our first experience of this restaurant was great, but this visit fell well short of our expectations.

Likely spoiled after having lived in Vancouver, Toronto, and San Francisco. As for Rice Garden, drove by and decided to try hoping once again for almost anything I can be loyal to. This was clearly Americanized Chinese food and worth a try via takeout. Ratings below are in context of what's in North Texas. Prices: Very reasonable and doesn't feel like the many other restaurants who have taken inflation to a new level. Portions: Texas size and should have no complaints. Appearance: Clean Staff/service: No idea as was takeout, but food was packed ready to go within 20 mins of a web order. Food: Slightly bland which I welcomed bc I find most restaurants over oil or over salt their food. Would suggest some modest modifications to improve reception while still keeping food "Americanized" and keeping costs down. Hot & Sour Soup: Needs more black vinegar, as was imbalanced. It was also missing more of the usual traditional things like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, strips of pork etc but with all of this no way one can sell for $5.99. Nonetheless, the vinegar alone would have brought it home. Sesame Chicken: Ordered white meat (and liked that they had that option with no up charge). Decent flavor, but slightly mushy hence may order extra crispy next time. Vegetable Hot Pot: It was just ok, very non-descript. In isolation reasonably priced, but compared to pricing of other items within the restaurant, it shouldn't be among the more expensive entrees. Kung Pao Shrimp: Ok, non descript, but edible and may/not order again. Also tasted (and looked) too similar to vegetable hot pot. Singapore Vermicelli: Decent, but needed slightly more curry flavor as was slightly on blander side. A small amount of BBQ pork strips (i.e., char siu) to balance out the chicken would have been nice. Will order again. Want to see them do well, and will do what I can to support them.

The biggest issue for us was the ordering system. Everyone has to scan a QR code, place their own order, and enter their phone number. For a large group, this became very confusing because when the food came out, there was no clear way to tell who ordered what. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out which dishes belonged to each person. If you're coming with a big party, I definitely recommend making a list of everyone's orders ahead of time so it's easier to organize when the food arrives. The food itself was extremely spicy. Most of the BBQ items -- seafood, chicken, beef, and pork -- seemed to have the same heavy cumin and spicy seasoning, so the flavors started tasting very similar. Personally, that wasn't for us. However, the soy sauce fried rice and the cold noodles were really good and stood out the most from the meal. The service was good overall, although communication was a little difficult at times because it was hard to understand the staff's accents. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. I think this place may work much better for smaller groups, but for our large party it was stressful and the food flavors were too repetitive for our taste. Unfortunately, it's probably not somewhere we would return to. Also they added 25% tip mandatory without mentioning it anywhere ; It was an experience though
