    Chicken feet
    Hannah H.

    Super delicious! I came in during the week for lunch to satisfy my dim sum craving and I was definitely impressed. This spot is located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking available. The restaurant itself is small and their focus is certainly not on decor or ambiance.. but who cares when the food is so good, right?! I can imagine how busy this place gets on the weekend because even for a weekday lunch it was quite packed with large groups. The staff was working really hard and as a customer here you will need to be patient so just keep that in mind. I will definitely be returning in the future to get my Chinese food craving fix and I can't wait to try more items. Warning: Be prepared for a food coma. :)

    Fast, friendly service for dinner for two with no wait to be seated in a cozy booth. Fresh vegetables and stir fried meat and tofu served with hearty portions served beautifully on the plates too! Reminds my husband of the home-cooking style like his Chinese mom used to make at home for them. Perfect for dinner with leftovers for lunch the next day! This is becoming a regular stop for dinner because they also serve popular dim sum dishes so we can get our favorites with dinner too! The visual, easy to recognize, photos on their dim sum menu make it easy to order too.

    Haven't been here for a long time and finally went back today. Man it was great! It's in an unassuming strip mall but the food there is fresh and fast! Service was normal. Had to wait a little for lunch on a Sunday. Food itself was excellent. They have a good variety of fresh dim sum and authentic Chinese dishes. Everything was clearly fresh and hit the spot. We'll be back!

    贵妃鸡

    I've been coming here for years--it's my go-to for Chinese comfort food in Dallas. The restaurant isn't very big: a few larger round tables for bigger groups and some booths for smaller parties. It gets packed during peak hours, but service is usually solid (just be patient on weekends). They don't take reservations; it's first come, first served. Be patient but order fast so you don't get caught behind orders from a larger group. Dim-sum is available all day and is one of the best places in town. They also have two specials menus (one by the entrance, one near the kitchen), and there are always hidden gems on there. On this visit, we came around 5 p.m. on a Saturday. It was early enough that we were able to get seated right away. Ordered the 贵妃鸡, 咸鱼茄子煲, and a 圆蹄 from the specials menu. Everything was great--the chicken was tender and flavorful (don't worry about the pink color--it's fully cooked), the eggplant was rich and piping hot, and the pork knuckle was the star: super tender meat, melt-in-your-mouth skin and fat, perfect with rice. Note: The chicken is one of their more sought-after dishes (so if it's available, order it!). Note 2: Some of their dishes require pre-ordering, so call ahead and double check if you're planning for a big group or a special holiday meal.

    Even my Chinese parents were impressed. The scallion chicken especially stood out. Service was pretty good until they got a little busy right when we were trying to get our check. It does seem like it gets pretty crowded on the weekends, so go early, especially if you have a large party.

    We finally found a decent Chinese restaurant to go to! The flavor is very good except for a couple of dishes! The beef flat noodles was lacking the beef, not much flavor and the salt and pepper squid was over done! All the other dishes were just fine! We especially like the salt and pepper tofu (had a lot of flavor and texture, crispy on the outside and soft inside)! The service was quick too! The dishes all came pretty fast! We'll be back!

    This casual Chinese spot serves up solid classics and tasty dim sum. The fish maw and crab soup was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. I loved it even on a hot summer day. The combination pan fried noodles were crispy on the edges with just the right amount of sauce. The shumai were big, juicy, and satisfying. Service was quick and friendly from start to finish. Just good food in a relaxed setting. I'll definitely be back.

    Shrimp dumplings and chicken bbq buns

    My husband found us TKS to try their dim sum. We loved trying the various dishes available. The dim sum menu is a bit small, but surely did not disappoint. We ordered the following dishes (many not pictured): 1) fried shrimp egg roll 2) shrimp dumplings (ha gao) 3) Chinese BBQ buns 4)spare ribs with black beans 5) steamed sticky rice with pork The five dishes were just enough for the both of us. Overall, the food was 3.5/4 stars. It was good, but missing my Chicago dim sum spots ;) Ambiance: 2.5/4 stars - not fancy or hip. A bit run down Service: 2.5/4 stars- average! They're not going to dote on you, but are available if you need them.

    Little bit of everything :)

    Great little Dim Sum place! Freshly made to order. Love the picture menu, easy to order! Been here twice and the second time was better (first time they had AC problems). The beef flat noodle was delicious! All the dim sum super fresh! Service was good as well! Its my new fav place for Dim Sum!

    First time here, I never really even come to this intersection for food tbh. But I heard this was one of the few Dungeness crab fried rice places in the area. I got some good to go and so I believe the food would be better if I ate there. But here's what I got: 1. Crab fried rice - really good, on par w others 2. Bbq pork steam buns - pretty good, standard baos 3. Beef flat noodles - good, maybe lacked more beef 4. Lobster noodles - my least favorite, a little runny / oily Overall a good experience though and will probably try to eat at the restaurant.

    Really delicious and authentic Chinese food. The fish and mustard greens was so tasty and appetizing. Good to pair it with white rice. We had a green veggie dish that was tasty but it had too many stalks in it. I told our server and joked with her about it - she ended up discounting the dish for us. We ordered dim sum for the kids and fried rice - both were tasty. The service was good - they get super busy on the weekends. The place is a bit greasy and dirty - but the food is probably some of the most authentic that I've tasted in the Plano area. And I used to live near San Gabriel in Los Angeles so I know authentic tasting Chinese food.

    Fried fish with pickled beans
    Yu-kwong C.

    If you crave Cantonese or Hong Kong style food, this is the place. Some of my Hong Kong friends have visited here and have positive things to say about it. So we decided to give it a try. We came in around lunch hour on Sunday. It was not too crowded, and we were seated right away. We ordered a few items: fried garlic bean sprouts, fish fillet stir-fried with pickled cabbage, and crispy rice crust beef. The fish fillet with pickled cabbage was very delicious. The fish was tender and savory. We particularly liked the pickled cabbage. It's no ordinary pickled vegetable. The fermented taste was quite distinct, which is the best part of it. However, if you don't like the taste of like blue cheese or stinky tofu, you may think they give you rotten vegetables or fish. We also liked the crispy rice crust beef. The beef slices were thick, but very tender. The crispy rice crust soaked up the yummy sauce. It was so delicious! The bean sprout was fine. It was nice and fresh with a touch of garlic taste. We found the food here not too salty or greasy. We also loved the portion size, which was very generous, considering many restaurants nowadays have downsized the portion to save costs :( We'll come back and try other dishes. They have dim sum. Definitely we'll be back.

    How's the dim sum compared to Kirin or JS Chen?

    J S Chen's Dim sum quality has been downsliding; not only are its offerings small in size, but tasteless as well. Will try Kirin, Zhang's, and/or TKS.

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.

My favorites were the shumai dumplings which had a notable mushroom flavor and the rice rolls which had a silky texture. Honorable mention to the spicy Singapore noodles, crispy BBQ pork and curry beef pockets, and BBQ pork buns. I didn't think the beef balls were anything special and the egg custard had too much pastry and not enough custard which made them taste dry.

The food speaks for itself. There aren't many items on the dim sum menu, but every item is nicely made. I like their beef balls, shrimp dumplings, and shrimp+pork dumplings (燒賣). They're all very fresh and tasty. I also like their rice rolls with your choice of fillings, such as fresh or dry shrimp, beef, bbp pork, or egg. The rice rolls are soft and chewy. What I really like about this place is that their steamed dim sum is made to order, so everything comes out hot, juicy, and flavorful. They also have congee 粥 (with thousand-year egg and pork) and beef noodles. Last but not least, I always get their hong kong milk tea. This is the only place I get hk-style milk tea from. I'm from that city. So I know how this iconic beverage tastes :) The staff are nice and friendly. One thing: they don't take credit cards. So bring some cash with you before heading there.

We got a ton of the classics: shu mai, rice rolls, beef flat noodle, taro dumplings, radish cake, sticky rice.

But without having to wait super long for a table and fresh food, it does its job. Saw some others get buns and peking duck and those looked good, so would come back to try that.
