By far our new favorite resturant. Since being introduced to this place we have been here 4 times. We have yet to find another place like this in Plano or vicinity.
The service here is amazing, everyone here is SO friendly. Two gentlemen who look like brothers and two ladies who look like sisters. They seem to take great pride in this place and it shows.
The ambiance of this place is great. Mahjong tiles on the walls reminds me of my mother playing mahjong in the early 80s. Very well done!
On this particular night we ordered the chicken garlic dumplings which were amazing to start as well as some hot and sour soup in individual bowls. The soup was hot and had just enough spice to give you a kick of power after each sip.
Rolled into some Moo shu chicken which was amazing and some combo fried rice. One of the family members has an onion allergy so they were kind to accomodate us on all dishes. The chicken was all white meat and very nicely done. You know how sometimes you eat at chinese restaurants and the chicken seems wok warmed up... not here!
This place only has about 12 tables so reservations are recommended. It appears some of the locals eat here so it fills up fast.
Next time will try the walnut chicken and the lobster.

Read moreSolid 4.5 stars. Slight deduct due to one or two dishes that were a miss and others where portion size was a tad light. The Stir Fried Calamari ($11) was a miss as it was both small in size and mediocre in flavor. Skip. The Famous Szechuan Chicken Dumpling ($9) was average. Sauce was decent but six small dumplings left us feeling underwhelmed. "Xiao Long Bao" orders (2 @ $9) were very good but on the small side and thus light on the wonderful soup that makes these so desirable. Definitely order one if not two orders. Mah-Jong Orange Beef ($21) is a must! Flavor, texture, and plating were all spot on. The Mushroom Trio Clay Pot ($18), San Bei Chicken Clay Pot ($20), Szechuan Ma Po Tofu Clay Pot ($18) were a perfect 3 for 3. The Wok-Fried Beef Flat Noodle ($16) was average. It would've benefitted from stronger flavors though its texture was quite nice. The Garlic Sesame Noodle ($9) aka "Dan Dan Noodles" were good as the peanut butter flavor and fresh thinly sliced cucumbers blended just right.
Service was stellar as their team kept all drinks filled and the table bussed, pre-bussed the entire service.
All-in with tip ran us $180 for the Mother's Day luncheon which though stout was well worth everyone happy with the meal we had and time...
Read moreI came here bc lots of ppl on Facebook recommended this place as one of the best authentic Chinese food here. Unfortunately, this is quite Americanized. The service was great and the ambiance I adored! But for example, the san bei chicken did not taste or even look like the one I grew up with. The sauces were all sweeter and thicker, and the ones that said spicy had zero heat. The soup dumplings and famous chicken dumplings were good. They were dim sum size though, which I didn’t expect and they only give you four. Being that we’re in Plano with a large Asian population, it was interesting to me that the entire Asian restaurant was packed, and yet I was the only Asian person eating there at the time. They have Dan Dan Noodles on the menu, but instead of calling it by that name, they Americanized it to “garlic sesame noodles.” To me, this is like if we changed the name fajitas to “skillet beef with onions and peppers.” The restaurant seems to be doing awesome, and I love that for the people who work there! And I’m glad there’s a local restaurant for people who want Americanized Chinese food. But as far as authentic Chinese food recommendations, this is...
