Best contemporary Chinese restaurant in Plano and North Dallas. Great classics with a cozy and chic atmosphere and friendly staff. I also have great respect for their working hours as a local business owner. Keep in mind Lunch is only served till 2:30pm and you must order before 2pm otherwise the kitchen will be closed. Will be going back again
I 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 far from it.
