"This review is long overdue! I'm such a huge fan of this place since it first opened. With that being said, I've dined in countless times and also ordered through Uber Eats multiple occasions , especially during dinner times on the weekends. For appetizers, my go-to is the wonton in chili sauce. It's not that spicy, but so good. Then you have to try some of their dim sum. If you want some crunchy texture, the pan-fried pork bun doesn't disappoint. The classic is the steamed juicy dumpling. Place the dumpling on a spoon, add some vinegar on top, poke a whole into the dumpling, enjoy a little warm soup from the small opening, and then eat the entire dumpling. The soup juice just bursts into your mouth - delicious! The Peking duck is one of my top favorites. I believe it has limited availability, but this is a huge dish that should be shared with others. If you're a rice and meat person, their kung pao chicken really kicks the spot. They have fresh hand-pulled noodles that can be ordered during certain hours of the day. You can see the chefs preparing them. I would highly recommend the Szechuan Dan Dan Noodles - that sesame/peanut sauce makes this dish stand out. Lastly, for that rainy/soupy cravings, get the braised beef noodle soup. It gives the cozy vibes. Warning: the portion is huge. The beef is super tender and flavorful. Service is always quick and efficient. They get pretty busy, so the servers do not linger. Drinks are consistently refilled. I shall be back per usual."
"Bethany's has gotten better and better over the years. My latest visit I got Singapore vegetable rice noodles and it's been my favorite thing I've ordered so far! I also got a coconut raspberry smoothie & strawberry slush with boba. I need to start ordering from Bethany's more often!"

"All I have to say is the beef bulgogi and the amount of flavor that is in that dish will make me a repeat customer for the end of time. Staff is always very helpful and delightful to talk to the location has great parking. It gives you a street Thai food feel with the decor inside. I haven't had one dish from them that was not good. Overall this is always a repeat location for me."
"Really liked this place! I had the lunch special for $12.99 which included hot and sour soup (delicious!), an egg roll, and a choice of American-Chinese cuisine (I had orange chicken, there was general Tsao's, that sort of thing). However they also had xiao long bao, a variety of pan fried and steamed dumplings, and other authentic fare. I liked it so much I ended up ordering an entire meal for my family for later I ordered traditional soup dumplings, pan fried shrimp and pork dumplings, chicken chow mein, took my leftovers (which was a lot!), and an order of their own design, chocolate soup dumplings! I have bamboo steam baskets at home so it was easy to reheat things. My family raved and my kids gobbled it up. I sat near the owner who was the absolute nicest - he is French and his partner/girlfriend is from Hong Kong. They just took it over 4 months ago and made some nice changes to the inside and menu changes as well. The kitchen staff is still the same. Go try it!!"
"This place is a must! We found it one day while craving this food. The food is amazing, dumplings are delicious and all the food is. You're always seated fast and the servers make you feel at home and will help you out with any questions you have. I love the place as it has a welcoming atmosphere and you can watch them make dumplings. Overall a wonderful place to try and I cannot wait to go back!"
"Good selections. Food is fresh. I can say this is better than other Chinese buffets. It's busy but you can do a take out buffet if you want to."
"I've been meaning to post about this place for a while, but their orange chicken is always a hit for me. I've noticed as the days have been getting colder I've been coming back for more soup dumplings and wontons for a spicy/comfort snack. My husband is always a fan of their ample fried rice options and has been working through the menu to find his favorite. The only miss for me here is the drinks. I haven't landed on one that I can truly recommend, but their food keeps me coming back."
"Big portion of beef in the noodle soup. Tasty soup like always.Even still a little pricy, but the flavor is still worth a try."
"This was my first visit to Gao's BBQ & Crab and I can say that it will not be my last. My guest and I ordered alot to try and to our surprise, everything we ate was GREAT! Everything was seasoned well and very tasty. Service was also above and Beyond. Our waiter guided us through the menu once we arrived and he was very attentive to our needs. Here is a rating of everything we ate.Fried Oysters: 4/5Fried Spring Roll: 4.8/5Small Lamb with fat: 4.5/5Special Sausage: 3/5Shrimp fried rice: 3/5Egg Fried Noodles: 4/5Cabbage: 3/5Green Beans: 2.8/5Peppered Beef: 2/5"It was very chewy"Prawn: 1/5Quail: 1/5Spicy Grilled Fish: 4/5Hongkong Lemon tea + Rum: 5/5Grapefruit Green tea + Rum: 5/5"
"Food was average, but I will go back and try more than appetizers to make a final decision.Hot and Sour Soup was good. It was very vinegar based in my opinion. Not a bad thing as I liked the flavor. I wish it would have had a little spice to it. I could eat it again, but I have definitely had better. 3.5 STARS Crab Rangoon was a little over fried for me. It was just a bit too crunchy for my liking. The center was soft and cheesy which helped it.I would not order these again. 3 STARS Service was good and the staff were pleasant.Ambiance it's a cute and simple restaurant. I love the art and lighting fixtures. It felt cozy and comfortable. Overall it was a good visit. I want to explore the entree's so I will go back to see if I can give them a better rating."
"I really appreciate the restaurants that have maintained the excellent quality and service over the years, and this is one of them! It is a true neighborhood gem, continuing to serve fresh, tasty food with a smile and at reasonable prices!"
"What have we been missing?! This place has been nearby for ages and we're only now getting around to trying it, and it was fantastic. We doubtless will be coming back, regularly! Check out the pics. We've been interested in a new favorite asian place, and I'm sure we've found it.The dining area is super comfortable, I'd personally put it right between casual and romantic. Clean, still like new looking.We got what would have been our usuals in other places, to test the comparisons, and WOW, we are impressed! We sampled each other's, thumbs up all around. The portions are also very generous, so get ready for "work lunches".The service was very friendly and introductory, and waits were not long, and very worth the quality.Anyway, the reviews here says it all. This place is great."

Loveeee this place! authentic flavors, exceptional service, and a cozy ambiance, this restaurant is a must-visit! Their orange chicken is an absolute standout--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated with a perfectly balanced tangy-sweet glaze. It's easily some of the best orange chicken I've had in years. Equally impressive are their hand-pulled noodles with beef which I got my most recent visit. They are made fresh to order and are by far the best I have ever had. Their soups are fantastic too, the large is definitely enough to share. The service here deserves a special mention. Every time we come here the staff is friendly and happy to offer recommendations without being overbearing. Prices are reasonable for the quality and the massive portions. Such a great spot for casual dining or even special occasions. Parking can be tough but worth the struggle.

Just revisited dumpling house again after being takeout only customers for the last year and had such an amazing experience! They have completely updated the space and it is so welcoming. We ordered a bunch of dumplings and buns for our table and they all came out steaming hot and flavorful. The Mapo Tofu was bursting with flavor and the perfect amount of mouth numbing spice! I have realized over the years that there is truly not one thing on this menu that isn't absolutely delicious from the orange chicken to the seasonal soup dumpling you can't go wrong! Not only was all the food delicious as always but the owner, Irene, and server were so attentive and kind to us during our visit. Even offering a free sample of the hot and sour soup which I HIGHLY recommend and will be ordering every visit from now on! Don't miss this hidden gem for take out or dine in with a large group because it is the best combination of affordable, well run and delicious!

This might be the best Chinese option in the Frisco area. It was highly recommended by our neighbors and we have enjoyed it as well!The food is always good. My fave dishes have been the fried rice and salt & pepper shrimp. The shrimp is really fresh tasting and cooked just right.We've done take-out and dine-in. I prefer take-out. Dine-in was a little loud and the seating was odd where we sat. Service has always been great! Very friendly and thoughtful staff. Highly recommend!

Been going to Asian King Buffet for 10 years and they are still very good. We always go for lunch during the week. The food is hot and fresh. Make sure you go when they have a good crowd, which seems to be every time we go. Service is very good and friendly and clean. We get a senior discount to save some money. Inside is set up with all the usual buffet areas to pick from sushi, hibachi grill, salad, fruit and dessert. The main food buffet has everybody's favorite. Orange chicken, sesame chicken, beef and broccoli and so much more. They also have crawfish or crab legs most of the time. People love crawfish. I see piles of mudbugs on plates. I stick with the traditional Chinese food.

Second time visiting this time for lunch!Still love the flavor of the Lanzhou . The spicy soup dumplings were good too. The meat inside the dumpling had a kick but full of some flavor that you don't typically get too often. It wasn't busy during lunch time but dumplings did take a while to come out. Will be coming back! Side note: their bathroom has some great items like mouthwash and tooth picks that are well packaged

"Authentic Chinese cuisine at reasonable prices! Fresh, hot, and tasty food with great service from friendly staff!CASH ONLY establishment."
"Ocean Chinese Seafood restaurant is serving classic family style Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine in a quick friendly and tasty environment.We came through on a Sunday afternoon and sat at one of the many family style circular tables and browsed the menu deciding on what to order from there extensive menu. We decided to go with the classic family Vietnamese style food and ordered a little bit of everything. We had the sweet and sour catfish soup, stir fried veggies, steamed clams, and braised catfish in clay pot. The food came out in no time and was looking exquisite! They also served a massive bowl of steamed jasmine rice to compliment your meal. The food was tasty indeed and it satisfied my craving. The flavors were spot on and the food was made with lots of love. The only downfall in this amazing experience I had was the amount of MSG being used. My mouth started feeling really dry and I became super thirsty and sleepy.Overall this place was great and the food was spectacular. The customer service was quick and fast and provided service with a smile. Ill definitely be back in the future to try more comfort food."
"Portions are quite strong. Flavor quite strong. MSG strong to quite strong . $$$ quite strong. Two dishes and one small egg drop soup $44.00 #littleelm probably won't be back. Still gave them 4 Stars"
"My coworker and I have slowly become regulars at Xiaoling's because of the solid service and great food. The lunch specials are very reasonable for a huge amount of food. We absolutely love the noodle soup and I think of it often, but my favorite is the soup dumplings. The restaurant is quaint, clean, and built for fast service. Give it a try over your lunch break!"
"We came to try the peking duck and it was good!!!!pork pao bun's bread was so soft and served warm. Braised Pork belly had tender pork and had the five spice flavor. Lastly we had the yangzou fried rice which to me was just regular fried rice because it had spam in it and was missing the flovor compared to others i have tried. Then the shrimp fried rice was something i could have had by itself because of a smokey flavor."
"The service is always great, and the food is always made to order. Literally pipping hot and delicious! Best Chinese food I've had since being in DFW."
"The food was really good and fresh, the restaurant was clean. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Also there was a wide verity of food available."
"Food is tasty and inexpensive. What more can you ask for? Just wish the had more dumpling choices."
"My go to Chinese pick up! Picked upon Saturday and tried the hot and sour seafood. - this was amazing !!! I did watch two elderly women struggle to go up the stairs - there is an elevator did of the building."
"Sometimes...I just crave some of my childhood comfort foods. It's hard to find traditional Cantonese restaurants in the DFW area, but happy to stumble upon First Chinese BBQ.The restaurant is not trendy, but the service was so homey and friendly! I ordered 2 meats combo (comes with rice). The portion was very generous and I had enough for a second meal. This came out to be $~20. The BBQ pork was crispy and delicious. The duck was delicious and juicy. !!!CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT!!!"
"Nice place- Amazing service and delicious food. The spring rolls and sushi were very generous portions."
"So far my favorite Chinese around. Chicken lo mein was cooked perfectly and not too greasy like some places make it. They did not skimp on the chicken. Beef and broccoli was also good and same with the fried dumplings. Only complaint was the dumplings didn't come with sauce or they forgot it. The inside looked clean and was decorated nicely. Ordering online was fairly easy. The one recommendation from me would be for them to add an estimated time on when the food would be done. I had to call to get an estimate which isn't too big of a deal but would be easier not to call."
"I love this restaurant! Tasty dumplings, radish cakes, congee, and noodles with quick service and a clean environment. Nice chill atmosphere with tasty dim sum options!"
"Euless Location - My son and I eat here when we order take out. Orange chicken, sesame chicken, broccoli beef/chicken, and kung pao chicken are all good. Crab Rangoon also good.Employees always friendly and helpful. Never had an order that was missing anything.Eating there again tonight!"
"I am by no means a connoisseur of dumpling and bao but, these are good. In the mood for authentic Chinese I fired up the Yelp AI Quantifier and Bam...there it was. Fitting my screening criteria perfectly at 132 reviews with a 4.3 average.First of all,the atmosphere is great. Traditional Chinese design influence is found throughout including the tables and chairs. This is a big deal to me and can put a place on my go back list instantly.Service was urgent and friendly. Although I needed more time to digest the extensive menu,I wasn't forgotten and checked on often.The food was delicious and well prepared. Szechuan chicken was more a traditional preparation than I'm used to but excellent spice level and crunch. The pan fried spicy pork boa were perfect as were the blue China soup dumplings.Finally,I feel like the prices are good for 2024. I even added a lunch special of fried string beans to go for tomorrow. There were plenty of leftovers.There is no shortage of Asian restaurants in every shape and form in the Plano area these days. Fortunately Chinese is well represented and it would be interesting to start working my way through them. Until then with regard to Blue China ...Go!"
"Fat Ni is a really great place to come with friends and I love their Oil Spill Noodles and pork belly skewers. The interior and ambiance are very upbeat, and you can see the charcoal grill they cook the skewers on which is pretty cool. The skewers have a nice smokey flavor and the pork belly and lamb ones were super crispy and delicious! The beef skewers were a bit dry and not as good in my opinion.Maybe it was because I was super hungry that day but I kind of got hooked on these Oil Spill Noodles which were so flavorsome and had delightfully chewy noodles. Definitely worth trying this place at least once."
"One of my craved favorite restaurants and dishes is tucked away off busy Preston road deep in the back of the strip mall facing Best Buy. If you weren't looking for the restaurant it's easy to miss. Don't be discouraged with a difficult find, it's well worth it.The restaurant is clean, well managed and good for medium sized groups. They have circular tables that accommodate 8 for family style dining. Be aware they close from 3-5pm each day.I've eaten here 4 times now. Service each time has been brisk, professional, attentive but quick and responsive. I wouldn't characterize it as overly friendly or chatty but it's efficient and attentive.The food to me stands out and I love their house signature bun or bao. We've had it steamed each time. It's about the size of a pool ball slightly flattened and steamed to perfection. This is a dish that is hard to eat solo or two people as it comes with 8. The flavors inside the house signature bun is very savory and well balanced. It's not overly greasy and the texture of the bao is delightful. Provided are chili flakes in oil, house signature sauce and soy. We also have enjoyed a few other items off of what is a pretty expansive menu. We've found the portions generous so be prepared.We've had the green onion pancake which was just ok. It lacked a good dispersement of green onion and was a little bland for our taste. The green beans with minced pork is excellent it is fried in oil so delicious but not designed for those diet conscious. We also liked the beef wrap or "burrito" it's an appetizer split into 6 or 8 pieces and good for snacking and dipping. The wrapper is light and beef has good flavor. We've also had a few of the other dumplings and would say they are average to above average. But not overly memorable. The key for us is the house signature bun. Having the option of the dumplings steamed or fried is nice and makes for good diversity if you do family style or come with friends.The combination for us of a signature come back dish, clean restaurant, good value and attentive staff makes this one of our current local favorites."
"I've never been to a Korean/Chinese fusion restaurant but I'm all here for it! There should be a Royal Wok in every city! Definitely a hole-in-a-wall type restaurant, the charm of the workers and great customer service was great! And if you're reading this and not Asian or don't speak Korean - don't be afraid of coming here, I saw a table of elderly Caucasian folks who looked to be regulars- they ordered some of the best dishes to have here!We had the black bean noodles - a must get! A great huge portion which you can definitely share. If you have trouble cutting the noodles before consuming - don't be afraid to ask for help.Sweet and sour pork - crisp to perfection - sauce on the side is the way to go so your pork doesn't get soggy fast!Garlic fried chicken - my favorite dish here, excellent crisp, great tasting, great portion!There was other dishes that were ordered but I stuck with the basics above. I would definitely come back here when I am ever in the Dallas are craving some good Asian food!"
"We had a fairly larger group of both adults and kids and the service was still good despite that. The food here was good, had great flavor and most of all the portion sizes were huge! I ordered the hot and sour soup cup and it was bigger than I'd expected and the pad Thai had the right amount of sweetness and spice. I enjoyed both of them! It's rare to find spots that have both good food and portions anymore. So I'd definitely come here if you want some solid Asian food."
"This review is a update because Panda House is in a new much better building. Very clean nicely decorated set up more like a wine bar setting. Same good food same good service. This location is not easy to find you have to know Arlington. But Panda House is worth the find.They have a great lunch special menu. You get plenty of food with soup and egg role included. Very good egg drop soup and a nice crispy egg role with my meal. I had the sesame chicken this time but other meals are good. Some of the best tea hands down. They are BYOB at this time not sure for how long. The dinner menu is also very good. They are table service all the time. We have been to this location once and had a good lunch."
"Service: super quick and friendly. They explained the different types of soups and options. And were pleasant when we asked about allergens and accommodating Food: the hotpot soup was so flavorful and I loved all the different options it came with. It was perfect for a cold rainy day. We also tried their dry noodle dishPrice: reasonable compared to other hotpot places"
"Can't be mad at this place they have great prices and plenty of selections. Service is friendly but occasionally busy with other customers the day I came with my family. I liked how they had some american food options for my son when I was craving Asian food he's not really used to. The ambiance had a nice Asian theme and was definitely family oriented. Great dessert selections and ice cream as well. Highly recommend trying!"
"Ordered some takeout. Had the beef broccoli and it was good! The sauce was saucin'. And I got the hot and sour soup! Also tasty! But what blew me away, y'all. Omg. Listen. Y'all! When I tell you their hunan chicken does NOT mess around, I need y'all to believe that 100%. It is so fragrant and flavorful. It was ABSOLUTELY delicious. But, baby!!! When I say it is not for the faint hearted if you don't like spicy, get the mild or something else!!! It was so tasty, y'all!Will defo be back again. No doubt! Tell your friends!!!"
