    Egg Drop Soup
    Darshil S.

    The food was amazing the soup was slightly under seasoned but still was nice and hot. The noodles were excellent the veggies could be cut a little smaller and the broccoli could be steamed a bit longer, but the dish was delicious. The service was friendly and the place is kept well cleaned. It is a nice and quiet place good if you wanna talk over lunch or dinner without loud music. Will be eating here again.

    When you call ahead, you do not need to wait. Black noodles called, 'Jjajangmeon' which is noodle with lots of seafood on the top. 'Tangsuyuk' taste different from other places. You should try these two!

    3rd time here and never disappointed. Great quality food plus wonderful and sweet customer service.

    I stopped into this little spot with a craving for some quick Chinese. I didn't expect too much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I had the veggie lunch plate, which came with an egg roll. The veggie plate was pretty darn good. The veggies seemed fresher than most small places like this. The water chestnuts were soooo good. And then there was the egg roll. I mean, an egg roll is pretty simple. Fried, filled with tasty treats. Not too much can be said, right? I wouldn't suggest you drive the 30 miles to get there, but if you find yourself in the hopping city of Allen stop by and try this egg roll, and you'll know. The atmosphere is quite modest, but I like that. Nice paintings on the walls. Clean floors, clean tables. Always a plus. The best part of the place? The staff, who I'm assuming are the owners. We chatted a bit and she liked when I used some Chinese and told her I had stayed in Hong Kong once (where she's from). Very nice folks. AND, I didn't make the minimum for a credit card purchase, but she (with a bit of hesitancy) went ahead and let me anyway. Very nice.

    We went to Gao's BBQ & Crab in Allen after a graduation celebration with a party of 14 people. I'll…read moredo my best to give an objective review. 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

    A spicy chinese noodle shop that far exceeded my expectations…read more Jin was an exceptionally attentive employee who would often check up on us and top off our waters. Excellent service despite having no reason to, since we ordered through a qr code located on the tables. I don't write about customer service unless it was genuinely something that was worth telling people. He gave us a good rundown of the situation of the restaurant and provided an in-depth explanation of the menu for my first time there. He gave us plenty of options to choose from and explained what consisted in each of the dishes. Which helped us ultimately make our choices and I enjoyed every single dish. The interior was well decorated with modern/futuristic reflective aesthetics. A great touch that made me love it even more was the dimming bags put over the spotlights adorned around the ceiling to help cut down on glare and make it a bit more comfortable to enjoy the atmosphere. The mixed vegetable salad was a very pleasant blend of sweet, savory, and Sichuan spice. I originally was going for the cucumber but I was interested in more variety and opted to try more of what they had to offer. It still hit as a refreshing appetizer to complement our other dishes. 9/10 The black pepper noodles were actually amazing with how it balanced out a lot of strong, potentially overwhelming flavors. The black pepper was perfectly seasoning the fiery stir fried bell pepper and noodles. The beef played a great supporting role to elevate the dish without making it all about itself. 8.5/10 The Number 1 rice noodles in soup was powerful without being indulgent. The flavors hit hot and hard but still savory and tastefully diverse. Jin recommended it as the noodles have a very pleasant chew and had a diverse plating with bok choy, pickled mustard, and an egg to top it off. 8.5/10 Overall I enjoyed this place completely and will 100% return when I come back to Texas.

The platter comes with a generous bowl of papaya salad dressed in a salty, tangy sauce, along with fried chicken wings, fried pork, fish cake, hard-boiled egg, Asian noodles, fried pork rinds, and raw cabbage. I enjoyed getting a taste of everything, though I do wish the cabbage had been cooked (maybe stir-fried) instead of raw. The Thai tea boba was also excellent--rich, creamy, and full of strong Thai tea flavor, with perfectly chewy boba. I highly recommend this place and would definitely love to come back!
