    For a quick and fulfilling plate of fried rice to help combat my craving, this did its job! Located right off of Plano Pkwy and Beltline, it's tucked in a shopping center that's not hard to find at all. I placed my order on the Uber eats app and opted for pickup since it saved me $8. The food was ready in less than 15 mins and was fresh. When I arrived there were no other patrons there but the way it was set up looked to be more convenient for takeout anyway. There was one corner with what appeared to be DJ equipment but I can't confirm. I thought it was cutely decorated with sports Jerseys. Food: for a mom and pops type kitchen, the rice definitely served its purpose. They skimped me a little on the meat (combo fried rice) so I would say that could be improved a little. The flavors were nice and again the rice was fresh. I ordered a veggie spring roll which was very garlicky (if that's a word). My first bite was great but after a while the garlic just overpowered my taste buds so I didn't finish it. Overall..:for a quick meal I'd definitely give it 4 stars. I will even go back and try the Lo Mein.

    I've been looking for good Chinese food since I've moved here in 2016 & I've finally found it. The Ambiance is cool. The service was great. The menu doesnt list prices which can be tricky. we ordered a small wonton soup, a small egg drop soup,shrimp fried rice and a orange chicken which came with fried rice. Taste of everything was on point. Total was $40 Bucks. Will come back again!

    Flat noodles (not lunch special)

    This place has character. Rather small and very informal yet its decorations are its own. They have a variety of choices and a lot of them have "lunch specials". I order the flat noodles, which was sadly not one of them. It tasted good. The one big complaint as others have pointed out is that they lack price list. My bill ended up more than what I planned on spending that day.

    I ordered takeout . The wait for the food was minimal. This place seems to be a small family owned establishment, so the lounging area is also a mini office space. The service was okay- no complaints. I placed my order and was give a ETA - which was spot on. Food- I order the fried dumplings and curry combo rice. The dumplings were okay nothing special - just fried dumplings. The rice was cooked to perfection, as it wasn't sticky and mushy. The curry flavor was definitely present, this dish would have earn the restaurant a 5 if the veggies and meat was a tan bite savory to pair with the curry. Maybe bigger shrimps, and chicken pieces??? I will give them another try, but will probably tweak the rice order a little to build on the flavor profiles. Overall a good experience!

    Hole in the wall, but OMG is this place good! I got the Cantonese Shrimp and it was absolutely delicious! This place has earned my business for the foreseeable future, whenever I want some great Chinese food!

    Amazing! Great food, great prices, fast and friendly service. I got the beef chop suey with steamed rice, my boyfriend got the general tso's chicken with fried rice, and we shared wontons. Everything was delicious and the portions were pretty big. The restaurant felt so at home even though I had never been there before. Will definitely come back!

    Best Chinese food I've had in my entire life. Definitely on par with that of the super expensive places. Wide variety of meals and pretty cheap. So good!

We were greeted right away and the restaurant is welcoming with an assortment of booths and some large round tables. The server was friendly and she provided great service throughout our meal. We started with the steamed dumplings which were honestly middle of the road and we the weakest part of our meal. The entrees were uniformly outstanding. We had the Beef Chow Fun which tasted great and was less oily than versions we have had elsewhere. We also had the combination crispy noodles which were well prepared with tender beef and some great shrimp. We capped it off with the General Tso which was delicious. Yes, completely inauthentic but so tasty!! This restaurant is absolutely one of the best Chinese spots in the DFW area. Highly Reccommended!

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!

    My friend and I were craving Peking duck, so we decided to try it out. The reviews were promising,…read moreand I had heard that they carve the duck tableside. We arrived on a Wednesday evening around 7 p.m., and surprisingly, we were the only customers there, considering it was peak dinner time. We also discovered that we needed to pre-order the duck in advance. Luckily, the lady informed us that there was one available for us, but it would take about 30 minutes. We ordered the crispy cucumber salad, xiao long bao, and the dry-fried string beans. The dry-fried string beans were my favorite. The string beans had a delightful crisp texture and a flavorful taste. The cucumber salad was also good, but some parts were a bit soggy. The XLB skin was too thick and chewy, and it didn't taste like the usual soup dumplings, which was disappointing. I was excited for the duck, but I was honestly disappointed when it arrived. The portions were quite small, considering it was a whole duck. It wasn't carved tableside, which was a letdown. Some parts of the duck were dry, and the skin wasn't crispy enough. To add to the disappointment, they charge extra for almost everything. If you want more pancakes or their homemade duck sauce (which tasted like black bean sauce), you'll have to pay an additional $5. Another thing to note is that they are BYOB, so you can bring your own alcohol. However, the menu pictures on Yelp are outdated, and they only offer whole Peking duck, not half orders. Overall, the food was just okay, and I'll probably try a different spot when I'm in the mood for duck again.

One of the best preparations yet. The Singapore noodle combo and Xao Long Bao did not disappoint... More importantly, the service we received was attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, and prompt. Sadly, the eggplant with garlic sauce is the ONLY reason a star is withheld for this review...it detracted from traditional Chinese style; notes of garlic eviscerated by the chef's sweetening to satisfy an American palette...Why fix something that's unbroken?...I get it. The restaurant has to cater to its customers who populate this mix use (business/lease residential) area at the NW corner of Alma and Hwy 121, but doesn't that limit its draw? Guess we'll just have to head either further south on Central (HWY 75) to the Legacy & Spring Creek areas or further west to the Preston and Warren Pkwy Frisco TX area to satisfy our authentic Chinese cuisine food cravings.

We ordered the A-Choy vegetable and it was awful, old and yellow and not cooked well. It's like they didn't sauté it in a hot enough wok so it wasn't crispy. So disappointing this time. Don't get me wrong, the Peking Duck and the soup that comes with it were still pretty good. Thus the second star.
