    szechuan shrimp...YUMMY
    Gera M.

    I travel so much and try to eat real food as much as possible! Szechuan shrimp was so fresh and savory. Took no longer than a drive through and the veggies were cooked perfectly! I took it to go but the restaurant was spotless! Going back as soon as I'm back in town!

    The ribs are amazing too! Hard to believe there are no pictures or video of the ribs along with reviews. Wait no more! I've had the pork fried rice (phenomenal) and the General Chow's Chicken (I hate the their spelling of it too). The chicken was ok. Go with the ribs and you can't go wrong.

    I really want to make this a go-to regular spot for Chinese food. But literally half the time I've gone there they are closed - at lunchtime. Parking isn't easy so this is really irritating. The food is good, sometimes the service is great, but they should be open during advertised hours.

    Great Chinese spot! HUGE portions. Very tasty. The four of us all tried each other's entrees & all were solid: Beef Hunan, Beef Fried Rice, Mongolian Beef, & Happy Family. All delish & plenty of leftovers to go.

    This place has amazing food! I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for good Chinese food.

    Extremely disappointing. I went for a house specialty $21. Orange Beef thinking that it would be quality beef. It was sliced extremely thin & was mostly eating fried dough. The meat that was there was so chewy that my jaw got tired. I had hoped that the beef would had been sliced thicker & cooked so that it was tender even if it looked like less presentation wise.There wasn't one recognizable piece of orange peel. I assume the sauce was right out of a jar. My boyfriend got another house specialty- Chow Chow Chicken,, but again it was just average. Note- there wasn't an Asian person in sight behind the counter. We should have turned around & left.

    This place is attached to the Mockingbird Flats building, near SMU where everything is a bit overpriced. This is probably the most I've had to pay for very basic and non-authentic Chinese entrees. Besides that sometimes I do enjoy Americanized Chinese food and in that category this place doesn't really disappoint. I was shocked that they actually gave me a decent amount of shrimp in my Kung Pao lunch meal. The over-usage of soy sauce and grease is pretty apparent but everything did look fresh and well presented. The decor is nice and clean. I may come back if someone else wants to.

    On their website it says they have Springfield Cashew Chicken. I am from Missouri and miss this dish. So since I am reluctant can anyone verify they really have it?

    Thanks for your question!! And the answer is Yes! I had an employee years back and we created it for the Missouri customers!! We have many customer from Springfield who order it regularly!!

    Does this restaurant have Delivery?

    Hi Debbie, yes you can order thru our website, cafehunantogo.net and make your order online as well as Grub hub and Door dash. Should you order thru our website, use the code HUNAN5 and it will give you a $5 discount to help offset the $4.99… 

    Do you serve halal meat?

    Staff said it was not when I was here. I don't know on what basis yelp claim it is halal.

    Saw this place on Yelp and immediately thought, "There's no way this is good." The name doesn't…read moresound remotely Chinese. But the reviews were suspiciously glowing, so curiosity (and hunger) won. We pulled up and I took one look at the building: older, unremarkable, zero curb appeal. Classic "meh." Inside, several large round tables with lazy Susans, red tablecloths, and Chinese lanterns. They first sat us in a booth but I requested later on to be moved to a large round table since we ordered A LOT. But back to when we first sat in the booth - As a Chinese woman, the second I spotted the older seats with ripped upholstery, it hit me like a culinary prophecy: this place was going to serve me some incredible, authentic Chinese food. I don't know what it is, but there's an inverse law of Chinese restaurants: the less fancy the exterior (and the more the booth looks like it's survived several natural disasters), the better the food. Apparently they skip Instagram-worthy renovations and put the budget where it belongs--on the plate! This is now hands down in my top 3 favorite Chinese restaurant in North Dallas - I can even say it's on the very top. I haven't forgotten about the staff. They deserve 10 stars. Super nice!

    This place is getting 5 stars for food and service! I would say from the looks of it, you aren't…read moretalking fine dining, but, the meal said otherwise! We ate egg rolls, crab Rangoon, and soup, followed up by orange beef and beef fried rice. The crab Rangoon could have used more stuffings, but what was there was good. I thoroughly enjoyed the orange beef. The tenderness of the beef and the taste of the sauce was on point. Definitely don't pass on this one if you are craving Chinese food. Note: they do serve peanuts before the meal, so watch for that with allergies!

The people are the exact same. It was truly a feeling of nostalgia that's hard to describe. My favorite dish has always been, and still is, the bamboo shoots with pork. It is so fragrant, umami, and simply delicious. The west lake soup is also a classic done so well - pro tip to add white pepper to give it a little kick. The steamed pork belly was okay - sauce is flavorful (a touch salty) along with the preserved greens but the pork wasn't as tender as I had remembered it. The fish filets are fried to perfection, full of salt/pepper flavor, and pairs well with the jalapeños. If you don't like fish, you can get the same flavor with the pork version of this dish, which I also really like. The service can be a little slow because it's just 1 chef and 1 waitress who own the restaurant - same people that have run the show since I first came here probably almost 30 years ago! Incredible to see them still working so hard and serving delicious food. They'll never know how much their restaurant and food means to me!

I ordered the Pork Ba, Pickled Smashed Cucumbers, Pan-Fried Chicken & Mushroom Dumplings, Pork Bao Zi, and Peach Dessert Dumplings. The Pickled Smashed Cucumbers with the sweet and spicy chili dressing were a nice start, but the Pan-Fried Chicken & Mushroom Dumplings were fairly unremarkable. They weren't bad, but they reminded me of gyoza I've had at many other restaurants and didn't particularly stand out. The Pork Bao Zi had one of the better fillings of the meal. The pork itself was flavorful and delicious, but the bao bun was very plain and lacked enough flavor to complement the filling. I was especially interested in trying the Peach Dessert Dumplings because they sounded so unique. They were definitely an interesting treat, but ultimately fell a little short for me. The peach filling tasted more like preserves or jam than a fresh fruit-based filling, which made them sweeter and less balanced than I expected. The restaurant itself has a modern, clean, open interior and a casual atmosphere. One thing worth mentioning is that it was fairly warm inside, probably around 78°F. It wasn't unbearable for me, but with North Texas temperatures easily reaching 100°F+, some diners may find the dining room warmer than comfortable. Parking is also somewhat limited, so keep that in mind during busier times. Overall, I'm glad I tried Hello Dumpling, especially after seeing it on *Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives*. There were some enjoyable flavors and creative ideas, but based on this visit, the food didn't quite live up to the expectations I had from the TV feature. I'd give it a solid 3 stars and will go back to try some fresh noodle entrees.
