    Chicken lo mein
    Austin R.

    The food was absolutely delicious. It came Piping hot and the portions were massive. I got exactly what I ordered and it tasted great. I Will be ordering from here again.

    The food is horrible. Very breast and gummy. The chicken has no taste or seasoning. You also have to pay for each sauce. Also, the rice was hard as a rock!

    This place had such great reviews, and maybe I need to give it another chance but not sure I can... My boyfriend was craving Chinese food, and being new to this side of Dallas, I looked up places nearby and found this had excellent reviews, so he picked up an order to go and brought it home for us. I had him get me sweet and sour chicken with fried rice because that's usually my "safe" go-to option when trying a new place. I mean, it's basically chicken nuggets and pretty consistent across most Chinese restaurants. Well for starters, when I opened the box, the chicken was completely smothered in the sweet and sour sauce. This may seem obvious given that it's sweet and sour chicken, but I've never had the sauce served directly on top of the chicken when it's ordered for delivery/carry out, and even when dining in, it's typically served on the side or as a nice drizzle or light coating to keep the chicken nice and crispy. So not only was my chicken drenched and soggy, but it was also NEON RED!! I was afraid to even take a bite at first, but my sheer hunger and desperation for protein made me push through. To be fair, the flavor of the sauce was fine, but I still couldn't get over the bright color and soggy breading. Oh, and the fried rice -- sadly bland and underwhelming. Perhaps their other specialty rices are better (versus the generic side rice w/meals), but considering how something so simple and a standard staple at most Chinese restaurants could be so far off, I'm not feeling too encouraged to give it another try. Oh, and my boyfriend (and other reviewers) did say that there appeared to be several non-Chinese items, so perhaps they are better at those?? I dunno...

    A strip mall hole in the wall but I'm quite impressed with my Mongolian beef. Super hot, super fresh and made to order. These folks are well worth a try.

    My fav!! Combo fried rice and 2 egg rolls.

    The combo fried rice is AMAZING, I don't know what they put in it but its the BEST IN DALLAS!!!!! Broc n beef and the pepper steak are good too. Kids love chicken the strips... Always nice service, clean. I have been known to drive 45 mins or more for my combo rice fix (:

    Combination Lo Mein and combination fried rice, so good!

    Was looking for good-cheap chinese food, was not disappointed. The meals are pretty well priced and they're big enough to fill you up and have some leftovers. My one complain is that the place itself felt a bit unclean, but when I get another craving for cheap delicious chinese food I know where I'm going.

    Worst food ever. . 7-11 nachos are better and more nutritious. Run from this place. Service is almost as bad as the food.

    A solid 3.5/5. Some happy hour items and the lunch special was a good deal!…read more We started off with the Chili Wontons which were okay and the Xiao Long Baos which was very good-lots of broth within. We got the lunch specials: Egg Drop Soup and Hot & Sour Soup-both were good! The General Tsao Chicken was solid. We got it with the side of Fried Rice and the Fried Rice was flavorless plus the Fried Spring Roll was nothing special. The Mapo Tofu with Minced Pork was good, but very salty. Needed to pair it with lots of steamed white rice to balance it out. We also had the half duck with buns. The duck was okay too, nothing crazy/special to it. Food was alright! The guy bartender was super chill and easy to talk to. The ambiance was also chill and moody as well. Would be opened to come back during happy hour/lunch time.

It wasn't busy. - I noticed the Red Bull rep chatting it up for what seemed like forever with the bartenders while nobody was asking us for drinks. - About 10 mins later we were asked "do you want anything?" Well, yes, we do..... that's why we came to a restaurant. - After we ordered, the GM (female) was hanging out for quite some time with 7-8 other employees at the bar while I was trying to flag someone down and get a fork (took much more time than it should have). - GM was frequently standing at the end of the bar, just texting rather than paying attention to the multiple needs of the customers sitting right in front of her. While the food was great, the service was TERRIBLE and we won't be back. From the GM to the bartenders, nobody cared. Nobody even thanked us upon leaving. There's no excuse for expecting kindness and awareness when one is out to dinner, this restaurant made us feel unimportant and unappreciated. I don't foresee this restaurant lasting much longer, it's a competitive world and there's so many other awesome restaurants.

Between the four of us we ordered the roti canai -- with an extra piece of roti, since the base only comes with two, roti murtabak, two orders of the pork belly baos, chili crisp cucumbers, nasi lemak, beef haw fun, and bò tái chanh -- Vietnamese rare beef salad. Overall, the food was outstanding. I feel like the restaurant took all the greatest hits from every Asian culture and put them together on the menu. My favorite dish of the night was a toss up between the rare beef salad, the roti, and the pork belly baos. I loved how crispy and flaky the roti was and the curry dipping sauce that it was paired with was super aromatic, nutty, and rich. The pork belly in the baos was incredibly tender, well-marinated, and had a nice balance between lean and fatty parts. If you enjoy sour dishes, you will love the rare beef salad: there is enough lime in the dish to make you pucker. Every bite is a concentrated punch of flavors, and there is a nice variety of texture between the chopped peanuts, thinly sliced onions, rare beef, and crispy rice cracker. If you're in this part of town looking for a dinner spot, I would not hesitate to recommend Hawkers Asian Street Food. In addition to the solid food menu, the service and drinks were equally spectacular.

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!

Great flavor and the pork didn't have that weird pork taste some Asian places have. The crispy smoked duck pancake was awesome and worth the steeper price. I wasn't a fan of the sauce alone, but in the pancake was excellent. The eggroll was a decent eggroll and the duck sauce that came with it was the best sauce I've had with an eggroll. The lady working was sweet and was working her butt off with the 5 tables she had. Felt great to support a local business. The restaurant itself is out dated but the tables and utensils were clean. The atmosphere added to the experience and the background music was just perfection.

First, I ordered the Chinese Fried Chicken (half), which is supposed to be brined in soy and hoisin, then deep fried in a light batter. This chicken was no more brined than a rock in the desert, and it was just as dry, even the dark meat pieces. The steamed rice was fine, as was the beautiful bok choy. The dish, overall was a huge disappointment. The chicken lo mein was also a letdown, as it had an underlying sweetness that I've never experienced with this dish. Two bites were taken and it (along with the chicken) ended up in the hotel trash can. A couple of positives: I enjoyed the hot & sour soup, and the egg rolls tasted as if they were rolled in-house, which is a rarity these days. I live a few hundred miles down the road and don't get to downtown Dallas very often, so the odds of me patronizing this place again is already slim. But, in the event I find myself here in the future, I will avoid this restaurant.
