    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!

    Many dishes

    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.

The food was absolutely delicious and the ambiance was wonderful and perfect for a catch up with my friend: warm, inviting, and perfect service! The burrata salad was outstanding, and the pasta was equally impressive. We also shared the bread pudding for dessert, which was incredible and the perfect ending to the evening. The lobster dishes and wine selection were excellent as well. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service: attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming without ever being intrusive. To top it all off, our entire dinner came to under $100, which felt like tremendous value for the quality of the food and experience. I only wish we had a location in Los Angeles. Highly recommended!

    First off let me say that our server Jennifer was excellent. (Not sure I spelled her name right)…read more She was one of the best we have ever had anywhere. Food was hit and miss. I had the Salmon and liked it. Another person had the burger and it was overcooked from how he requested it. Now the Bad... Crab legs are not made with fresh crabmeat. Fresh is white and flaky, these were brown and mushy. Two people ordered the crab legs and they were unable to eat them. They were overcooked and, not sure how, but some of them had burn marks on them. How do you burn something that is boiled? Also it was impossible to crack them open. The shells were soft and just folded over and you couldn't get them open. You could twist the leg back and forth and it wouldn't break open. I think perhaps they were left sitting in the water after they were cooked. Those were sent back and those two people didn't get to eat. The sad part of that is that after they were returned a manager came out and actually argued with them about the overcooking of the legs. He said that was impossible and that nobody else had complained. Wow, instead of just apologizing and saying it would be removed from the bill. That alone took this place off our list forever.

Just had to wait a bit here and there for a server to return when we were ready for more drink orders from the bar. All bartenders and servers were very skilled and customer service oriented, Even Coast probably needed one server more or something as it got full by 3 as the hostess had told me. Love the art deco mermaid pins the female staff wore, plus other unique thought out accoutrements. We like to share plates and loved everything we had! The oysters, burrata, smoked clam chowder, yellowtail curd, smoked salmon dip with homemade potato chips, and the fried cod, frites and Cole slaw. Some of us had cocktails- all great, then we all switched to wine, then finished with espresso martini and amazing dessert. Everything was expertly hand crafted (cocktails), and the food expertly prepared so our high praise and compliments to the Chef, Sous, Cooks, Servers, Hostess and Restaurant Manager, who did stop by and check on us. Thanks for a great experience! We'll return!

I got a small gumbo and catfish nuggets at 6.99 each.

So I just asked for a water cup. 15.12 and you order at the counter and get your own drink. The water button on the soda machine sticks, so prepare for it to run for like a full 45 seconds before it magically unsticks. Gumbo came out in about ten minutes, but weirdly wasn't hot. Catfish nuggets came out about ten minutes after that (weird since they are both apps) and I asked for my soup to be reheated. I tried a nugget and it was ok, but there's like zero seasoning on them. Bland as my last tinder date people. For a place that touts New Orleans in the name, there's no creole/cajun influence here. Everything was just bland, especially the gumbo. By the way, he took it to reheat and by the time he returned it (14 min later) I needed to leave. He was nice enough to give me a lid and bag though. Service was ok, but there's like one guy and when he disappeared it was for ten minutes. I don't know if he was having to cook it or what but it made service slow.
