    Love love love this place!!! First off, the service is great. I can only assume he is one of the owners but he is the cutest dad type figure who just wants everyone to enjoy the food. He may be a tad overzealous with the check ins and "teaching" you how to eat the peking duck, but it's all from a genuine place of passion and love for the dish. We ordered the 3 course duck meal which was the perfect meal consisting of soup, some stir fried duck, and of course, the peking duck as the star. It definitely comes with enough scallions and cucumber but it's readily available if you need more and want pull buns. The presentation is absolutely beautiful and the steamed buns are great. I love that they make use of the full duck in this dish and nothing is wasted while everything is delicious. The meal is topped off with oranges (which is a symbol of good fortune and success) and a handful of fortune cookies (per person!). I'll need to come back and try some other dishes if we have a bigger group sometime.

    Finished food and forgot to get pictures. We have the beef Mongolian, green bean with chicken, cucumbers, chicken wing and free soup.

    Excellent service from Martin! Food was hot, fresh, plentiful and delicious. The ambience was warm and welcoming. This is a great little mom and pop restaurant that I'm happy to return to!

    Orange beef, beef fried rice and chicken egg rolls!

    This place is getting 5 stars for food and service! I would say from the looks of it, you aren't talking fine dining, but, the meal said otherwise! We ate egg rolls, crab Rangoon, and soup, followed up by orange beef and beef fried rice. The crab Rangoon could have used more stuffings, but what was there was good. I thoroughly enjoyed the orange beef. The tenderness of the beef and the taste of the sauce was on point. Definitely don't pass on this one if you are craving Chinese food. Note: they do serve peanuts before the meal, so watch for that with allergies!

    My Family went to Awesome Chinese Cuisine for Fathers Day lunch in Plano. You can tell from the exterior of the building that this used to be a Braun's or some kind of fast food chain. We ordered the half roast duck, seafood and tofu hot pot, salt and pepper squid, salt and pepper seafood, spicy pork chop, Peking style pork chop, fish fillet, and eggplant with spicy garlic sauce. We liked every dish we ordered here. Not a single one of them were a miss. We probably wouldn't get both of the salt and pepper squid again just because the salt and pepper seafood already includes it. My favorites were the eggplant, pork chop, and the salt and pepper seafood

    Peking duck "s-1" with cucumber slices and sliced green onions

    Plenty of parking and easy to find. Was immediately greeted when arriving. The interior is nothing special several round tables in the center for bigger parties and surrounded by booths on each side. Minimal decor. The staff is so friendly and just pleasant. We sat down at a booth and our drink orders were immediately taken. The drink menu is simple and basic. Sodas come in a can associated with a cup of ice. I also ordered their jasmine tea which is always a must when eating authentic Chinese food. We ordered their Peking duck, salt and pepper seafood and mapo tofu. Peking duck: nice this slices of duck with slightly crispy skin. Came with bao buns, sliced cucumbers, sliced green onions and hoisin sauce. The duck was good and not too gamey. The freshness of the sliced cucumbers and onions topped with their hoisin sauce is a beautiful blend bursting with flavor. Salt and pepper seafood: nice crispy salty with a hint of spice. Not too spicy mostly just squid pieces. There was some shrimp and scallops. It was okay still good. Mapo tofu: my favorite dish that I always order at any Chinese restaurant. The mapo tofu was delicious with numbing spice. A tad salty for my taste but accompanied with rice it's perfect. Jasmine tea is such a refreshing cleanser with any good Chinese meal. Staff: I love them. So sweet and friendly and just provided the best service by far. They feel like home ... like talking to your cousin that you haven't seen in a while. Overall I would definitely recommend coming here. Please be sure to try and venture out to your just typical "orange chicken" order and try something that your server would recommend.

    My partner has been wanting to try this place for a while, so we came for date night. Everything was pretty much your run of the mill Chinese dim sum faire. We enjoyed some fried dumplings, bbq pork fried rice, beef with string beans, and egg rolls. The portions were generous and came out very quickly. We've heard the pecking duck is great and are interested in perhaps returning to try that. Overall was a decent meal!

    Awesome 五餅二魚 is a Chinese restaurant in Plano that lives up it its name. Yes, Awesome is.... awesome. Found on Yelp, heard from friends, and thanks to a collective effort we chose Awesome for our Christmas Eve dinner and the food easily exceeded our expectations. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Awesome is a stand-alone restaurant. Inside there are 4-person booths that line the windows and, in the center, there were several big round tables for 10 people. Awesome is best experienced with a big group, family style. 1 Star. Service - Our server was so nice. We brought a birthday cake, and they offered to bring out extra forks and plates. They were very helpful, asked if we needed any accommodation, and our party was the last to leave the restaurant, but they never rushed us out. 1 Star. Food - Like many Chinese restaurants, the menu is very big. If you want the best experience, go in a big group (6 or more) so you order a lot of dishes. We ordered a lot, but two dishes stood out for me: Cheese Shrimp and Eggplant with Spicy Garlic Sauce. The Cheese Shrimp had the plumpest, and juiciest shrimp I've ever had in this dish. Battered and fried, biting into the Cheese Shrimp reminded me of the best fried chicken bite I've had. On the other hand, the Eggplant had a smooth, velvet texture that sat in a delicious sauce. We also ordered the Peking Duck which they serve without bones along with fluffy bao buns. All in all, everything we had was so good. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Best. Cheese. Shrimp. EVER. Seriously, I would come back just to order and eat this dish. Also, it's a dish you can order if you're in a smaller party. It's true, Awesome is awesome. 1 Star.

    It really was awesome

    Probably the most diverse menu I've seen. And more importantly the most flavorful. The sauted green beans had nicely carmelized onions with crispy pieces of pork. The beans were nicely blistered making them just right to eat. The service was excellent.

    This place had been on my list for a while; and then I saw it popped up over social media. I finally made the time to bring my mom out here for lunch. We were welcomed in with very friendly staff. We ordered the soy chicken, Peking Duck, salt and pepper shrimp and my mom ordered the lunch Mongolian beef. Everything came out in a timely manner, great portions for the price. Honestly the Peking Duck is priced so well here and I love that they serve them with the bao buns vs the rice paper wraps. I found everything to be quite delicious. The salt and pepper shrimp was cooked very well and had the great flavors I remembered from my old favorite Chinese restaurant back home. Staff is so kind, the restaurant is very large with great seating accommodations for large groups. I definitely will be back to try more items on the menu.

    Amazing place!!! Everything we got was incredible! Service was fantastic. We came on a Sunday night it was pretty full but everything came out in good timing and all the workers were so kind and always checked on us. The duck and all of the appetizers and dishes were so fresh and flavorful. I cannot wait to come back and try everything! Very cozy and authentic feel to the atmosphere! Will be coming back here.

    Tasty food that reminds us of home-cooked Chinese food my husband's mom used to cook. Our favorite place to come for crispy Beijing duck. The meal fed four adults well because of the huge bowl of cabbage, tofu, and duck soup that comes with S3 menu order with the crispy whole duck and stir fry bean sprouts and duck with white rice too. We ordered another vegetable side of stir fry green snow pea leaves too. Delicious and fresh. Friday night dinner at 5:30 pm and the restaurant was already 70% full. We had no wait to be seated in a booth for four adults. We had called ahead to reserve a duck. The menu suggested calling two hours ahead for fresh seafood. Service was fast and friendly. We had to leave and the servers were very busy so we did not have time to wait for any sliced oranges and fortune cookies this time so we paid at the counter to go. We will be back often but probably on a weekday again like last time instead of Friday or weekend since we like when it is quieter.

    Won Ton Soup
    Robert M.

    Came here with my family for a new years dinner, and have to say this is one of the toughest reviews I've had to give. First off, this is definitely one of the most authentic and family oriented Chinese Restaurants I've ever been to, it had all the makings of a Mom and Pop shop, and the set-up was set for a family style type of ordering experience, which was great because there was a lot of things on the menu worth trying. The food was delicious, the dumplings in the won ton soup were out of this world, and the broth was delicious. I saw from previous reviews the salt and pepper squid was popular and it did not disappoint, highly recommend ordering it. As the name implies it was very well seasoned and packed with flavor! All of the chicken dishes we ordered were delicious the General Tsao chicken was next level, and practically wanted to lick the plate clean it was so packed with flavor. The beef chow fun was some of the best I've had, and might have beed the favorite of all that we ordered. What makes this review tough is that the service was 2/3 stars, with them taking over 10 minutes to provide menus, forgetting our drink orders and also waiting over 15 minutes to get the check after asking. Know I say all of this understanding it was new years night, and that they were super busy with not just within the Restaurant, but also with take out orders, and with all the positive reviews on the service I will give them the benefit of the doubt. The restaurant though should have had more waiters as they only had one person working the front, and I will give credit to him as he was doing his absolute best to keep up with the demand. Once we did put in our food order it did come out pretty quickly, except for the Peking duck. Now, the Peking duck was delicious, but a bit cold but delicious none the less, and the bao buns they provided for the duck were delicious and you could eat them by themselves. The duck with the bao buns and a bit of oyster was definitely a bite to remember and one that I would come back for. Overall, it was a positive experience as the food stole the show, and would recommend it for a great Chinese food experience, and would come back here again, when it is less busy because as a mom and pop type Restaurant it might just not have been set-up to handle a very busy night like new years.

    The customer service here is so friendly and sweet, you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. My fiancé and I grabbed a booth this time, but I couldn't help noticing the tables with giant lazy Susans throughout the dining room. This place is absolutely made for a group outing, and we're already planning to come back with a group to take full advantage. The food was a delight. The Singapore noodles had this wonderful curry flavor that I absolutely loved, and the combo fried rice was just as satisfying. We also ordered the Peking duck (P1 on the menu). It was good, though not quite as flavorful on its own as we'd hoped. That said, once you load it up with the hoisin, cucumber, and spring onions, it all comes together beautifully. The bao buns that came with it were soft and delicious, honestly a highlight. We also sipped on hot jasmine tea throughout, which was the perfect, refreshing complement to the whole meal. A solid spot with great vibes, tasty dishes, and room to grow on us even more with a return visit.

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.

We ordered the A-Choy vegetable and it was awful, old and yellow and not cooked well. It's like they didn't sauté it in a hot enough wok so it wasn't crispy. So disappointing this time. Don't get me wrong, the Peking Duck and the soup that comes with it were still pretty good. Thus the second star.

There was no wait to grab a table for lunch for me and my dining partner. The dining area was quite large, and they have two private dining rooms off to the side. The first struggle was they have no hard copy menu, as they request that you scan a QR code to see the menu on your wireless device. Some of us don't embrace technology and that is okay. To make up for the lack of hard copy menus, they offered to let us use their tablets to peruse the menu. The service itself was lackadaisical, although the food came out quickly, and steaming hot (yay!). It took forever to get water refills to the point that I got up and refilled our glasses myself. Also, no condiments on the table, so I also had to grab those. We started out with an order of the scallion pancake, which was tasty and abundant. Then we ordered two of the Chang's dumplings which were out of this world amazing! The dumplings were soft and the spicy sauce they were in was delectable! For our entrees, we ordered Deep Fried Chicken with Roasted Chilis, the Basil Eggplant, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, and an order of their Shrimp Fried Rice. The Deep Fried Chicken with Roasted Chilis arrived, and while the chicken itself was amazing, the plate was mostly roasted chilis and not enough chicken. I chose this dish having seen serveral other tables order, and their dishes were brimming with chicken. Our, not so much. The Basil Eggplant was incredible. The flavor and the crispy outside make this dish great!! The Salt and Pepper Shrimp was a disaster. Most Asian eateries that I have been to, the shrimp are ginormous, with a light batter, and one of my favorites. At Sichuan Folk, the shrimp were heavily battered, extremely greasy, and the shrimp themselves were tiny, evidenced after removing the super thick batter. Do not order this dish. The shrimp fried rice was an extremely enjoyable surprise. The texture of the rice was fantastic, and the amount of shrimp, peas, carrots and egg was generous. Definitely will order this again. The service is what really surpised me the most. We didn't feel welcome, as we had to ask several of the waitstaff for silverware, napkins, and bowls to mix our soy sauce and chili paste. Those Chang's dumplings and the Basil Eggplant, along with the Shrimp Fried Rice are enough to make us want to come back and give it another try, after researching the menu some more.
