    Caldo de res

    I yelped this spot n the reviews where good so I decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is ok for what it is. The food was warm and fresh and the seevice was attentive. Price varies depending on when you go. Also they have a special of the day, so look out for that. On Saturdays their special is carne asada and sausage link. You can go up there and they will give you unlimited until ur stuff lol. Bathroom could be better, but again for what type of place this is, you cant ask for much. I think the price is worth the food, just make sure to go hungry. Ive been there twice, this last time our waitress never came n i waited for a while without service so i asked another worker if he could get me water and he offered to attend our table. Other than that no complains.

    Carnitas were sooo good!

    We found this buffet on TikTok and drove to the Carrollton location, as the Grand Prairie location is always packed. This location seems bigger. First time impression, overwhelmingly huge selection, whatever you're craving, they have it! Starting with the shrimp cocktail, oh my goodness sooo good! The carnitas were also delicious. I was a little disappointed that the flour tortillas were not made in house, but the corn ones were. The other thing that did not live up to the hype was the "aguas frescas". We ordered "agua de limón" and it tasted more like a Hi-C limonade. Definitely was not an "agua fresca". The pan dulce selection, was not like the video we saw. It was a small basket with a very limited selection. Although there were a few things we were not impressed with, the selection and the variety of foods offered in the buffet makes this a great place.

    Elote from the elote station! I've had better but glad they had it as an option

    I had a pretty good experience here. I was surprised at all the options. No tex mex here which was really nice. During lent they have mojarras which is my fave. They did good on those. The tortillas are bomb. The soups are ok. The elotes are yum! The food was all mislabeled which was kind of hilarious. Didn't bug me so much because I kinda know what it all is but I can see that being a problem for some. The service was great! Very attentive servers. We never needed anything. The ambiance needs work. I wish it was laid out better. Feels a little cafeteriaish. I'd definitely come back

    Imperial Feast - Pork intestine with green mustard

    We went around 12:30pm and there were people waiting. The lady that checked us in said it was a 30…read moreminute wait with 2 parties ahead of us. As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

    FYI the old reviews are for a previous restaurant or different location, unsure. This review is for…read moreImperial Feast which opened August 2025 next to z.Tao in Plano. Came during the soft opening in September 2025 with excited expectations based on what we've heard, hoping to find a new go to Taiwanese spot. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. I admit this was the soft opening and things may improve, and for their sake I hope they do. Biggest issues for us were lack of flavor in the meat and multiple proteins being overcooked. The sauces they used had the flavor but it seems like the meat just wasn't given the time to marinate because the meat itself was bland. That coupled with proteins being a bit dry from being overcooked and you don't have a good combo. If they can tweak their prep process to let the meat marinate then it would solve most of the problems though. The best dish was the fried pork chop rice by far. A bit on the sweeter side so it just depends on how you like it. The bok choy it came with was basically raw though had more crunch than the pork chop. Service was also a mixed bag. The server was super nice and helped give us recs but it just seemed like they were still getting the hang of working in a restaurant. A glass of water got some food in it so the server took it away but they never brought us a new one. Again, soft opening so I give that some grace, but food has to be more on point for a new restaurant to make it. So all in all, there are definitely some kinks to work through for them. Normally I wouldn't write a review for soft opening but given that there are old reviews here plus food quality missed the mark more than I think it should've, I think people on Yelp should get a heads up.

We…read morewalked into a bright, casual space where the focus is really on the desserts being made fresh. Watching the taiyaki being prepared adds to the experience since the fish shaped pastries come out warm and freshly cooked, creating that contrast between hot pastry and cold soft serve that defines the shop's appeal. The signature Ahboong is the main reason to visit, combining creamy soft serve with a freshly made taiyaki cone. The soft serve has a light, smooth texture that feels less heavy than traditional ice cream, and there are plenty of flavors to mix and match. Matcha, ube, cookies and cream, and other rotating options give plenty of choices, while fillings like custard, red bean, and Nutella add an extra layer of sweetness. The taiyaki itself is one of the highlights, with a slightly crisp exterior and a fluffy inside that pairs really well with the ice cream. The warm pastry melting slightly with the soft serve makes the whole dessert feel more complete and satisfying. Service is usually quick despite the popularity of the shop. The ordering process is simple, and the fresh taiyaki preparation makes the wait feel worthwhile. Even when there is a crowd, the shop moves efficiently, and the desserts come together quickly once ordered. The staff handles the steady flow well, and the overall experience feels smooth from ordering to eating. Somisomi feels like a dessert spot built around the experience as much as the food. It is a great place for a casual sweet treat, a late night dessert run, or something fun to share with friends. The combination of warm taiyaki, creamy soft serve, and creative flavors makes it one of those places that feels different from the usual ice cream stop, offering a dessert that is as enjoyable to watch being made as it is to eat.

If you're dining in the area, you can choose to skip the restaurant dessert and come here. On my most recent visit, I ended up eating outside due to comfort issues. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Heads up! The shopping strip is very busy, and parking can be a challenge. In the front there are many crêpes behind glass cases. It's like a wall of food art. Inside you'll find an open space with a few tables, tons of dark wood, an open kitchen, but on my most recent visit, it was uncomfortably warm. It's was pretty outside (early March), and there were a couple of benches, so I sat outside. 1/2 Star. Service - I think this is the new trend, but you now order through a kiosk. Now, there a lot of positives, because you can take your time and scroll through the selections. But for me, there's something about interacting with someone and asking for opinions. On the other hand, it allows the staff to craft your crêpe in the open, which is cool to watch. 1/2 Star. Food - Full Disclosure - I went with my daughter so I'm basing this review on her opinion. She went with the Chocolate Banana. Now, it was loaded, and the folks at T-Swirl Crêpe do not skimp on the ingredients. Each crêpe is carefully crafted from fresh batter. My daughter gave her approval. When I asked her how did her Chocolate and Banana crêpe taste? "Like chocolate and banana". Thumbs up. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. While the very warm temperature inside made it too uncomfortable for me to stay inside to watch the staff construct the crêpes, my previous visits have been great. I just hope the A/C kicks in when the Texas summer arrives. 1 Star.
