food was bomb, service needed logic and work. She was doing the most to piss me off. I placed a spicy chicken order online, it was very good and spicy like how I wanted. The chicken was crispy. I showed up after 20 mins after placing an order online and order wasnt ready, its ok. I asked waitress to check how much longer I would have to wait. She went to the back, checked, and didn't say anything when she came back out. I said ok I'll just wait. Another five mins goes by and it was finally ready. Be prepare to wait a long time. As she was packing the food, she forgot the rice, I had ask for it. After waiting for so long, she had the audacity to ask for my order number to confirm because she said sometimes there's multiple orders of the same name. If that was needed, shouldn't she confirm that before she went to the back to check on my order? I asked how many online order she had, she said one. Oh really, there cant be a mix up if you only have ONE ONLINE ORDER, what logic is that? just pissing me off for no reason. Also, how would I know where to find order number? I ordered through chowbus and it texted me the receipt. I pulled up the text and she saw the order number to confirm but she kept yapping. I had to cut her off to leave because I was hungry and she took long enough. People just cant work with urgency when you're hangry and in a rush to get home to eat. read more

This place is great and has a good mix of authentic Chinese dishes and American Chinese as well. The soup dumplings are really good and they are pretty massive! They did break a bit easy but the soup and meat portion inside is super generous and the broth was very rich. I enjoyed the rest of the dishes especially the stewed chicken it tasted very familiar. Overall this is a great place and I look forward to trying more things! Service was pretty wonderful too. read more

We came for dinner last week and came in right as they opened. The inside is decorated very authentically and service was very prompt. We ordered a bunch of dishes as they all were priced pretty well and we wanted to try a little of everything. The soup dumplings were great and hot. The sizzling baos were not as good as the dumplings but we still enjoyed them. We also ordered the sweet and sour pork, salt and pepper fish filets, and green beans. They were all very good. Sweet and sour pork was a little dry, though. One of the only issues we encountered was that apps and dumplings came out with everything else at the same time. Would have been nice to enjoy those first before the mains came out. read more

We enjoyed almost everything at China Blue. Surprisingly, we really liked eggplant though we don't usually care for the texture. The eggplant paired well with the string beans. The seasoning on the beef and fish filet were delicious. Beware of their dumplings as they're really big. I thought they were a bit expensive, but after noticing their size, the prices were reasonable. I liked the chive and pork dumplings the best. My least favorite were the vegetable dumpling as they were lacking in filling so tasted too much of oil. The soup dumplings were decent. read more

For all the good reviews, my husband and I were kind of excited about going to this place and we actually drove about 40 minutes to get there. It was not good! Food was mediocre warm not hot, over sauced, and our waitress was hard to hear and not very friendly. Changes to their items on the menu are not doable. I asked to have some vegetables added to my dish and she said no. No explanation just NO. The food gave my husband a severe headache, so my suspicions are that they might possibly put MSG in their food as well. Will not be returning. read more

Stopped by for dinner and wait was about 10 minutes. Menu is extensive with lots to choose from. We ordered the stir fried green beans, spicy fish fillet, and beef bone noodle soup with white rice and everything was absolutely delicious. The fish fillet was honestly one of the best I've ever had, so flavorful and tender. The green beans were perfectly crisp and the soup was hearty and comforting. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated, which made the experience even better. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. read more

China Blue is located in a super convenient, busy plaza where you can find everything from groceries to bubble tea to salons. There's always plenty of easy parking, which makes it a stress-free place to stop by for lunch or dinner. The food here is consistently amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I've tried several dishes on the menu, and everything has been great, but the Guo Bao Pork is hands-down my favorite. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and the sauce is just perfect. The service is also top-notch. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and always happy to offer recommendations if you're not sure what to try. Insider tip: If you plan to visit regularly (which you probably will after trying it once), be sure to purchase one of their gift cards -- they offer a huge discount, and it's such a good deal that it pays for itself quickly. Highly recommend this place whether you're dining in with friends, grabbing takeout, or celebrating a special occasion. You won't be disappointed! read more

Found on tik tok! This place is so yummy! We started off the meal with string beans in chili oil and the fried cheese wontons. Our only complaint is that the string beans weren't warm.

We had a great meal here at this restaurant in an area where many wonderful Chinese restaurants converge. We ordered the beef with broccoli, spicy fish fillet, and steamed pork buns. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and the portion was generous. The beef was tender and well-seasoned, plus crisp broccoli and onions. The fish fillet dish was delicious, tender fish in a spicy, rich savory broth with plenty of chili peppers. The pork buns were soft and fluffy, stuffed with juicy, delicious minced pork. Service was friendly and attentive (don't forget this is a Chinese restaurant :) The interior has a beautiful Chinese decor, with rustic wooden furniture and paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling. If you're into some Chinese food like me, come here and give it a try. read more

We felt like the food was a bit salty and some dishes we ordered, seemed to have changed maybe for that day or they got a new chef, like the garlic shrimp. Ours was battered and fried but pictures online and our family had them just whole and non battered another visit. We did really enjoy the xiao long bao and cucumber salad though. Service was a bit spotty, at times we were checked on a lot and other times it was hard to find our server. The restaurant is beautiful inside which is super surprising, you wouldn't know by looking at the outside however where we sat in the corner of the front windows, there was a slight mildew smell. read more

This place has a nice ambience and is a great place to eat with family! We got the dandan noodles, eggplant with minced pork, salt and pepper fish, flat noodles with beef, some sort of spicy beef dish, and their pork buns.

China Blue Dumplings & Baos - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

The food was delicious. There were a few things we enjoyed more than others. And most of the dishes were as authentic as can be in America. We had a very kind server who helped us choose our meal. She gave us free tastings of wine and complementary hot and sour soup. The ambience is very quaint and styled and an upper class Chinese restaurant We got the cucumber salad, the spicy wonton, sizzling, beef, hot and sour soup, green beans, soup, dumplings, and shrimp fried rice. Out of everything I just mentioned I thought the cucumber salad was spectacular, the hot and sour soup was worth its weight and the green beans were absolutely delicious. The other items I mentioned were good, but not something I think I would crave or go back to. We got a bottle of plum wine And it was absolutely divine. read more

First time here. Service was very slow and when we first walked in (wasn't that busy) we stood there at the hostess desk waiting to get seated. Two workers walked past us several times and didn't even acknowledge us. Not even a "just a minute". After waiting like 7 mins awkwardly I asked do we just seat ourselves? Then they acknowledged us and said to wait a little longer. Now, as an Asian, I know service at some places can be challenging at Asian restaurants. Now let's get to the food. Soup dumplings were ok. Mongolian beef was good, but a little too sweet Crispy beef was crispy, but also too sweet for me. Green beans were good Crispy dumpling was the best dish I would say Yao Fuzi's soup dumplings, Mongolian beef and crispy beef are my favorite place for those dishes. read more

I would give this place 4 - 4.5 stars as the food and service was good overall! We came to China Blue on a Friday evening for dinner and the restaurant was decently busy but not overly so. We were seated immediately and after we put in our order, the food came relatively quickly. Pretty much everything we got was quite delicious! The spicy wontons were flavorful and not super spicy (good for me as someone with a lower spice tolerance). The pan fried pork baos were perfectly crispy on the bottom with a nice juicy filling. The eggplant with minced meat was pretty standard for an eggplant dish at a Chinese restaurant but good nonetheless. Unfortunately, our only gripe was that we ordered the spicy fish with Chinese sauerkraut and they brought out the non-spicy version instead. Not a huge deal since we were totally okay with the non-spicy version and opted to not make a fuss out of it. Overall I would definitely come back in the future to try more of their dishes & dim sum! read more

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! read more

Great Food, Clean Taste, and Fun Atmosphere! We had a great experience at this Chinese restaurant! The beef flat noodles were delicious--tender and flavorful without that old, unpleasant beef smell you sometimes get at other places. The chicken and broccoli was cooked perfectly, and my wife really enjoyed the cashew shrimp. The environment was clean and welcoming, and the service was very friendly. Our kids especially loved the restroom--they thought the dim lighting and mirror with lights were super cool (don't ask me why, but they were obsessed!). Definitely a spot we'll come back to! read more

This place very unique. Incredible ambiance with great detail to the decor. Very authentic. The service impeccable and they are very polite. It's located in the Asian restaurant area of Coit & Park.

I absolutely love it when a restaurant invests in a theme. China Blue truly ties together their food and culture, making it a lovely ambiance to experience. We tried several items on their menu. Each one was a hit and miss at the same time. We were comparing their style to another popular restaurant nearby. We ordered the Spicy Wonton appetizer. The sauce was delicious, obviously made in-house, full of cashews, peanuts, and cilantro, but the wontons were tiny (1"). It was like eating a chewy bite-sized sample. Next, we ordered the Beef Flat Noodles. To our surprise, it was a generous portion, definitely enough for two people. The hand pulled noodles were cooked perfectly! The beef was tender, the sprouts, and onions were fresh. It's definitely a mild bland dish. We added some of the sauce from the Spicy Wontons, drizzled it on top, and that made it perfect for us. We also tried the Walnut Shrimp. It was not worth $17.00. The plate presentation was showy. The sweet mayo sauce and candied walnuts were delicious -- but the shrimp were very small, 90% of what you see in my picture is batter and thats why they look huge. If you enjoy this style, you will love it. Our greatest test for any restaurant is Orange Chicken. If you're a fan of Orange Chicken from Panda Express, you will be thrilled with this dish. They serve a generous portion, enough for two people. Each nugget has a taste of chicken and a ton of batter. I may be wrong, but it tasted like a bag of frozen chicken nuggets dropped in a fryer. This Orange chicken did not pass our test as the best. Like I said, hit and miss at the same time. read more

This place is well located in another Plano plaza. Decor in there is super cute and I love how it looks. Service was good, our servers stopped by quite often to refill water and it was easy to ask them for anything else we needed. The food we ordered was subpar at best though :/ it was user error maybe since the items we picked just weren't to our liking. Honey walnut shrimp wasn't what I was looking for the batter was too much and not as crispy as other places. The drizzle on there had too much mayo and I wished the shrimp was tossed in the sauce instead. We ordered some spicy pan fried pork buns but the dough stuck to my teeth too much and I didn't like how they seasoned the pork filling. Also wished it was more crispy. The only things we really liked were the string beans and the spicy chili wontons. The wontons honestly weren't spicy but the flavor was everything! They have a very large menu and I'd love to try the other things. Hopefully next time I'll pick things that are more to my liking! read more

Heard a lot about this place, so had to try it out. I went with my family and, walking in, we were greeted by the friendly staff. I immediately noticed the nice decor, making it look upscale. When we were looking the large menu, our waitress recommended the Salt and Pepper fish, which turned out to be our favorite dish. The batter was light, not too salty, crispy, and not oily at all. The fish inside was still moist and flaky. Yum. The other dishes were delicious as well, from the dumplings, cucumber salad, and baos. Everything was plated beautifully as well. Best of all, while the atmosphere and food certainly were upscale, the prices were very reasonable. This place will definitely go into our rotation. read more

This restaurant relieved my built-up craving for good Chinese food! We came as a group on Saturday evening and they had a lot of business - would recommend making a reservation for a large party or during a busy time. We shared several large dishes, and the standouts were: - special dry pot - savory and not TOO spicy! Contained beef, fish cake, shrimp, tripe, lotus root, potato, and I think bamboo shoot - salt and pepper squid - sauerkraut stew with meat - beef flat noodles - dumplings The staff were friendly and attentive, and we had a great time eating and hanging out here. I would definitely want to go back! read more

The dishes here were hit or miss, and it's very expensive, so you need to really know what to order. The beef bone noodle soup and spicy pork intestines (pictured) were our absolute favorite dishes and we'd go back for them. A choy with garlic was quite tasty but the price felt too high and I would have said goodbye to my fiber fuel if I weren't with friends doing family style. The rest of food wasn't particularly anything to write home about. I've had better hot and sour soup and xiao long bao elsewhere for a better price. read more

I preface this review with the following comment...as a frequent restaurant goer, I am aware of the posted hours of operation and generally avoid stopping in to order from an establishment in the closing hour. However not all patrons feel the same so enjoy at your own risk. Ha ha. Absolutely love China Blue's food but we recently took my mother in law to dinner, the service was horrendous. We arrived and were seated quickly. We felt rushed to order by the waiter as he just stood there while we looked over the menu. Since this was MIL's first visit, she needed time to review the menu. I ordered an appetizer just so she would have more time to look at the menu. We ordered the main dishes and the food came out shockingly fast as did the bill. The waiter handed us the bill with the food. I was shocked. I quickly checked the time thinking it had gotten away from us but the restaurant's posted business hours showed it was open for another hour. I also glanced around and noticed several tables still actively enjoying their food. About 15 minutes after we received our food, the restaurant was completely empty and the waiter was table side with to go boxes. I have never felt so unwelcome. We quickly packed up our food and headed to the car. They turning out the lights and heading out even though the posted business hours showed they were still open. Most bizarre experience to date. Bottom line - you will enjoy the food. It is fantastic. BUT go early and don't stay late. read more

Ambiance is pretty nice. Please note that you have to make a reservation ahead of time. We did not know this . Even if we were there the day before asking about the shabu shabu, the lady did not say anything about making an "appointment". We had to come back. They should put this on their website . We did the eat all you can Shabu shabu. We did the combination soup, one beef broth and the other one mushroom. We liked the beef broth the most. The fatty beef was very good. The meat selection was very limited. So we just stuck with the fatty beef. We also ordered shrimp. Veggies and the other "sides" are also very limited. Only one dipping sauce, peanut sauce. read more
