The Chinese Neighbor — Restaurant in Prosper

First timer here. Found this place while browsing for some Asian food. Not to far from where I lived. Looked very promising from the reviews.

Arrived and grabbed a menu and browsed it for a bit. I like the limited options they had. Looks like there's a little spin on Authentic Chinese food.

So we decided to eat family and ordered 4 different dishes so we can taste a bit of everything. We ordered

H.K. Rice Noodles (Beef) - It is street style rice noodles "dumplings" with carrot, snow peas, celery, cabbage, mushrooms, bean sprouts, scallions. I have never seen rice noodles made this way. It was cut into cubes. Very impressive. Doesn't have the best flavor but it had enough.

"SHRIMP n' LOBSTER" "MAC & CHEESE" - Came shrimp (unfortunately, we didn't see any lobster), egg, garlic, scallion, 3 cheese sauce, rice noodle "dumplings", baked & topped with toasted breadcrumbs. Wow, what an amazing idea to make Mac n' Cheese with added asian spices and eggs. By far, one of the best Mac n' Cheese I've had. Had the perfect amount of cheese as well.

"DRAGON DUMPLING" BURGER - It is marinated beef & pork patty, swiss american,, caramelized onions, kewpie mayo, toasted english muffin, dumpling sauce side of umami fries & chinese 1000 island. It was great. You can definitely taste the dumpling.

UMAMI FRIES (came with the Dragon Dumpling Burger) - umami salt, pecorino cheese, garlic, sesame furikake, scallion, shichimi, serrano, chinese 1000 island. Sadly It wasn't that great. It lacked flavor but the fries was crispy.

SALT & PEPPER "FISH & CHIPS" & CHIPS - tempura basa, french fries, shrimp chips, umami salt, scallion, garlic, dried chili, serrano chinese pickle tartar, gingered dumpling vinegar. The Tempura was great. It didn't taste like frozen fish at all. Great amount of batter as well. But unfortunately the Shrimp chips was a little stale.

Overall, I had a great experience. The ambience is cute. The staff were all friendly. The portions might be a bit small for others but for me, it was a perfect size. The prices were fairly priced. So for a party of 4 with 4 dishes, our total was about $43. Of course I believe they just opened when we went so there will be some kinks they have to figure out. I would definitely...

The Chinese Neighbor provides a vast variety of dishes to try! My personal favorites, (along with my family's) are General Tso's Chicken with white rice, Mongolian Beef with white rice, Sweet and Sour Chicken with white rice, and Sesame Chicken with white rice. As an Asian family, we typically order foods that we are more comfortable with trying. We have tried so many Chinese restaurants, and we have tried to many of the same dishes. And I have to say, The Chinese Neighbor is the absolute best out of all of them! If you're like us and prefer traditional Chinese food, The Chinese Neighbor has it! However, if you want to try something new and delicious, you should definitely try some of their fusion dishes! They have something for everybody! The Chinese Neighbor has a very modern aesthetic to it, and the chef himself greets you and is open to your feedback. It's very cozy and clean inside and by far one of the best Asian restaurants in Prosper. My family absolutely adores it!

Note: The Sesame Chicken is not listed on the menu, but it is still...

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this place. Eager to try the food, I ordered combination fried rice and chicken wings, but when I tried the food at home - the rice was mushy and had a strange taste, while the chicken wings were bland and inedible. I spent almost $30, so I kept the food in hopes I could bring it back for a refund. When I called the restaurant to request a refund, I was told that only the general manager could assist me, but there was no timeline provided for when he would get back to me. I spoke with Suzanne, the manager.

2 days later upon speaking with the general manager and owner, Daniel. I was met with rudeness and refusal to refund my money, despite the fact that the food was practically untouched and I was offering to bring it back. This lack of customer service and unwillingness to make things right left a sour taste in my mouth. Overall, I would not recommend the Chinese Neighbor based on...
