This is a solid choice for authentic Chinese food. We've been here a couple times and never been disappointed. I like the green beans a lot, and th dan dan noodles never fail. They're always friendly and the place is clean. It's one of our rotational places for good Chinese food in the Plano area so we will continue to return. read more

Get the water boiled fish and Dan Dan noodles! We are always one of the only people there that are not Chinese, so while I can't speak to its authenticity, that fact alone speaks for itself. Loveeee this place. read more

This is a lovely, locally owned Szechuan restaurant with the most kind and friendly service. There were several tables where the traditional family style service of Chinese dishes take place. We ordered the steak and tomato stew, kung pao chicken, eggplant with garlic and stir fried green beans. Everything was very good quality and flavor. The decor was nice and I enjoyed the chalkboard with the Chinese and English descriptions of the dishes and the lovely artwork. We would definitely return. read more

This places has the best combination fried rice hands down in my book no bs because to begin with, I'm a very picky eater and my combination fried rice has to be light on grease and the food fresh. This place has real authentic Chinese food I gave them 4 stars because they did forget the white rice on the kung pao chicken read more

Chongqing House - Szechuan Near Me - Plano, Texas

I never realized this place was hidden in this plaza until I found it on Yelp! I'll get right to it and rate the dishes I tried. Szechuan fish soup: 5/5 - this was the best version I've had anywhere. The broth was very flavorful with just the right amount of spiciness. The bite-sized pieces of fish were catfish I believe which is better than tilapia in my opinion. I couldn't get a photo since we devoured it so fast Dan Dan Noodles: 3/5 - the noodles had a nice chew to them, but the dish was slightly lacking in flavor, compared to others I've had. Mapu tofu: 3/5 - there was no ground pork in this dish, which I think would've added a lot of flavor. Eggplant with garlic sauce: 3.5/5 - this is usually one of my favorite dishes but again this dish was lacking in flavor, a bit compared to some other places. Spicy dumplings: 2/5 - this was my least favorite dish that we tried. It was bland and the wonton wrappers were breaking apart. Overall, Chongqing House was good but I prefer the taste of all these dishes at Wu Wei Din or Royal Szechuan (with the exception of the fish soup). Pros: Pricing was reasonable which is rare to find these days. The service was attentive. Cons: Music was a bit loud for lunchtime conversations. read more

Return or not return? Return. Part of the greater DFW not very good Chinese food scene, but based on my sample of 3 to-go dishes, it's better than most of the others. You know there's a level of authenticity when the woman answers the phone in Mandarin, can't understand much in English, and then gives the phone to who I'm presuming to be her husband, and his English is slightly better. Aside: English or little English, the woman incredibly polite and friendly. Upon entering the restaurant, all 5 tables occupied are mainland Chinese patrons speaking Mandarin. Green beans - decent. Orange Chicken - dark meat option only, and sadly Panda Express is better but this is definitely edible. Lacked a little sweetness, and crispness. Mapo Tofu - best of the 3, and I would re-order this one. Not over sauced and nice ginger/green onion notes. Tasted fresh. Price/value relationship. 100% worth it. Give them your business. read more

Chinese food that is served and prepared well. Friendly staff and tasty food. Very generous serving and their food is best with jasmine tea to balance all the spices and oil. Place is very clean all the time. Great for bringing friends and family. read more

Their food is tastes excellent. Very Chinese Tradition food. Good price, nice Friendly Customer Service. Will go back again.

V. Good vegetarian selection, no garlic no onion...what I tried: Hot and sour soup - the best I've tasted, with egg. It can be made without egg for vegans. Vegetable broth Dry Fried String Beans - never met dry fried string bean dish I didn't like Chinese Yam w/ black fungus - the yam I hear is a special dish, good crunch Spicy & Sour shredded potatoes - the Chinese way of making this dish not too starchy is to soak the potatoes which removes a lot of it. I hear that this way is good for the liver Ma Po Tofu - not bad Some cabbage dish - always a favorite Dessert - the rice cake with syrup something - made from sticky rice. Not my favorite but if it's yours, I think it's good read more

Lunch today at Chongqing House in Plano. This is an authentic Szechuan restaurant that also has an Americanized Chinese lunch special menu and some Americanized items on the main menu. We ordered all authentic dishes. We started with their hot and sour soup, which was a bargain at $8.99 for a very large bowl. It was enough for 6 people at least, maybe 8. The soup was ok. Heavy on the white pepper but not enough black vinegar. There was a generous amount of pork in the soup. Definitely not my favorite version of this soup. We ordered two mains. Mapo Tofu and the Chongqing style chicken in pepper. The mapo tofu was good, but not as good as we had at Sichuan Folk. This dish had less ground meat, but it was tasty. The chicken dish was more like popcorn chicken. Mostly batter covering small bits of chicken. The Szechuan peppercorn powder in the batter was really overpowering. I like the hot and numbing experience but this seemed over the top. The best dish was the steamed A-Choy in garlic sauce. The leaves were crisp and flavorful. The white rice was very good. I don't usually comment on the rice but this was a high quality rice. My Filipino wife was impressed and that says a lot. The restrooms were clean. Overall it was good but I probably won't return. There are dozens of Szechuan places popping up all the time in Plano and Sichuan Folk is my favorite. read more

Food is still delicious, but portions seemed to be a little small, especially for the spicy boiled fish fillet. I think their Kung Pao Chicken is one of the best, and the sautéed beef and onion was good too, sweet with flavor. But again a lot of onions and less beef. The wonton soup in chicken broth was alright, I wish there was a bit of ginger in the wonton or more salt in the soup as this lacked some flavor for me. Service is good, they try to be fast but they had a lot of take out orders making our food come out a bit later. The inside is very nice and clean however! read more

I've been in the DFW area for 4 years and had honestly been on a hunt for great Chinese food. After visiting Chongqing House..my search is over!

Green onion pancake and cold spicy noodles were so yummy! cold noodles was really good spiced but not so spicy . Green onion pancake was thin and crispy. String bean is average, cabbage could be skipped. Beef with pickle peppers were good flavor but might try something else next time. Hubby and daughter love the hot and sour soup, different than a lot of places but beefy and good flavor. Staff was nice there. read more

Being British I know what good Chinese food is all about, but having lived in the States for almost 30 years the Chinese food in this country is just OK. However ..... Chongqing House surprised me! not only is the food very good, but they have some great spicy dishes on the menu to which I'm a huge fan of. I have ordered take out twice and dined in once, on all 3 occasions the food has been extremely good. The staff are very friendly and helpful when it comes to recommendations and the restaurant itself is very clean, it is situated in an Asian plaza (Ranch 99 etc..) which is conveniently close by. I cannot recommend enough, if you like Spice or you want to try something other than General Tso's chicken you have to check this place out. read more

We came here for dinner before hopping over to Costco. The place wasn't busy at all (but also it was Monday night). The server was nice, and very attentive. The food was delicious.

The most authentic sichuanese in the Dallas area. The owner/chef was born and raised in Chongqing China 重庆 He makes his own chili oil ( La Jiao) It's used to give his cuisine the smoky spicy home town flavors: unmistakable and so hard to find. I have tried most everything on the menu and it is explosively delicious! They have something for everyone try the kung pao chicken if you are less adventurous or afraid of the spice.. The Dan Dan noodles and eggplant dishes are some of my personal favorites. read more

Solid solid 5 stars. fried food was crispy but not oily. Sichuan food normally is salty and spicy , but this place didn't make the dishes too salty , I like that. Ordered cumin beef, it was very well seasoned and beef was tender. Crispy diced chicken and walnut shrimp crispy. Walnut shrimp was smaller shrimp but they cooked them good, they split the sauce so it wasn't soggy. Pricing was good, portion was good read more

Went with friends and this place was awesome! Not for the faint of spice though. You'll feel the burn, but keep on eating cuz it's that good! + Jelly noodles: really good + Spicy Pork Intestines: excellent crisp, spice and nom + Pig feet: it was a special and VERY spicy but great cumin flavor + Fresh fish with pickles vegetables: good flavor and fresh + Veggies were good + Fried Rice cake: interesting dessert that was warm and chewy and great with the dipping sauce = Sesame balls: good but nothing special read more

So the folks that complain this place isn't good probably doesn't have patience or know how to order authentic Chinese food. This is my second time coming to this restaurant. I swear this place makes me a fatty because I order so much here. Obviously fantastic food & excellent service. Chongqing Style Diced Chicken W. Chi Sauce - 5/5. Good crispy exterior with sichuan peppers & peppercorns that leave That good numbing feeling in your mouth. It's also not greasy even though the chicken is very moist Orange chicken - 5/5. The dark color on the chicken indicated a very good caramelization with the orange sauce. It does have peppers so there's a slight kick. Walnut Shrimp - 5/5 There's a cute walnut on top but the shrimp kind of floats inside the crunchy shell and when you dip it with the white sauce, it's just a lovely mellow sweetness. Spicy Pork Intestines - 4.5/5. I'm a bit biased because I'm not a pork intestine type of person but it's very good. Nice chewy texture and has that good oily sichuan spice to it. Dan Dan noodles - 4.5/5. Excellent chewy flavor that makes you know the noodles are made there. The meat is a great rich spicy that slowly permeates the noodles giving that slow heat. Chinese Yam W. Black Fungus - 5/5 Good rich taste that starts off mellow and you start tasting the aroma of the mushroom. There's also a fairly generous serving of other vegetables that just compliments each other. If you made it to the end of this long review, you're amazing. Go reward your suffering by trying this place. And thank you to the owners for not judging me on eating so much food. read more

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Price: $$ My friend and I came here for dinner ravenous. Let's say we left the place more than satisfied and with a couple of to-go boxes. We tried the following dishes: * (5/5) Lamb Skewers Highly recommend trying! Perfect amount of tingle from the Szechuan peppers, and the lamb was flavorful and cooked nicely. * (3.5/5) Eggplant with Garlic Sauce I had higher expectations for this dish. It tasted good, but there was a lot of oil that coated my lips while eating it. * (5/5) Fish Special This was superb! I can't remember the name, but there was plenty of fish and vegetables (potatoes, wood ear mushrooms, etc.) too. It took a while to come out but was well worth it. It was a bit pricey in the end, but the food was tasty. We also noticed that the tap(?) water tasted a little strange though. Otherwise, a good experience and friendly family-run restaurant! read more

I am a huggeee fan of Szechuan cuisine, and we are so incredibly lucky to have several amazing restaurants that serve up traditional Szechuan dishes. Chongqing House is new to us, and we plan to become regulars because our meal was perfection. One thing to keep in mind is the dishes are served family style, so bringing a group is best. We ordered 3 dishes, and left with a ton of leftovers enough for another meal or two. We ordered: Fried Chicken with Szechuan Peppercorn - this is my husband's favorite dish. It is crispy boneless chicken sautéed with slightly numbing Szechuan peppercorn, red dried chilis, garlic, and spices. This was prepared expertly - the chicken was very crispy but not oily and every bite was coated with lovely spice. It's a big portion, so plenty for sharing Boiled Chicken and Beef with Spicy Peppercorn Sauce - this is my favorite dish, I always get it when we go out for Szechuan. The fish fillet and beef strips were so tender, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. The sauce was very flavorful, and just spicy enough to have a bit of a runny nose but not enough that you are drinking more water than eating food. The sauce is also slightly numbing, spicy, garlicky, and just delicious! I would highly recommend this dish, it is so good! Eggplant with Garlic Sauce - we ordered this as our veggie dish. I love well prepared eggplant and this was so good! It is garlicky, soft, and so flavorful. I could have eaten the entire thing as a meal on its own. We planned to try other vegetables on our next visit, although it would be hard to stray from this one. This place is going in our rotation. If you are visiting Dallas or just want to try a new restaurant, this place is a must visit! read more

7 out of 5 stars for me. First time visiting this wonderful restaurant and ordered onion pancake, an item made famous by one of the talents on the Food Channel's shows, and it was delicious.

Hands down one of the best experiences at Chinese restraints in Dallas. We loved the Dan Dan noodles, pork shredded with garlic sauce and roast fish (which has plenty of veggies). Huge portions- you will have leftovers- and I'm not complaining. Noodles aren't as good when it's leftover so we finished that first. Super nice balance of savory sauce, minced pork, green onions, more sauces are on the bottom so you really want to mix it up well. The pork with garlic was really amazing as well. Super impressed. The roast fish had two small sized fish instead of the usual one big fish. Even though you would never seen this in China, I'm ok giving them a pass since the flavor was still really good, and like I said, we still had leftovers. M Service was attentive and they came by a few times to see if we needed more water (to hold down the spicy goodness). 10/10 would go back. You can also order delivery via Starve Bird- which is what I might end up doing if I don't feel like driving :) read more

Just okay but then again, I'm only basing it off the one dish I got, the chicken fried noodle. It lacked flavor and tasted strongly of bean sprouts, perhaps because they added so many. The carrots looked old but the chicken tasted fine. We were the only folks waiting for takeout and no one was dining in on a Wednesday night. The staff was friendly and service was fast but I don't think I'll give it another try. read more

Chongqing House - F12. Chicken Fried Noodle - Szechuan Near Me - Plano, Texas

This place is not playing. The ma po tofu made my entire mouth and throat tingle for a good hour after I finished eating it. ... which is EXACTLY what is supposed to happen. So whenever I move to a new place or travel to a new city, I look for two things: the best ma po tofu, and the best bubble tea. KFT has the latter covered so I've been searching around Plano for the best ma po tofu for a while, and I think this is it. I cannot comment on the ambiance of the restaurant since, you know, COVID. I ordered via Grubhub and the food arrived warm and on time. The ma po tofu here comes in those tall plastic soup containers, which means the portions are huge. AND it looks bright red when you open it. Perfect. What does this mean? It means they use real, authentic Sichuan peppercorns. Those spicy little things make your mouth tingle in a sensation we call "ma la". The tofu is also drowning in a soupy mixture of oily goodness. To ANYONE who is grumbling about their food being too oily, know this: Sichuan cuisine is SUPPOSED to be oily, and if it's not, you're not eating the real stuff. Can't wait to order more from Chongqing House. The eggplant in garlic sauce is already calling my name. read more

I tried the Beef Tripe with Chili Sauce appetizer and Spicy Boiled Two Kind during lunch today. There were only 2 other tables besides me and the waitress was prompt and responsive in her service. The table/seats was comfortable and the temperature in the restaurant was just right. The Beef Tripe with Chili Sauce was really good, and it paired very well together with the bean sprouts, very tasty and not too spicy. For the Spicy Boiled Two Kind, I had beef and intestines. The beef was soft and tasty and the intestines were very clean and tasty, and I enjoyed the hot sauce with the white rice. Overall, the food that was served today was better than many other Szechaun restaurants that I've been to in the area and I would certainly return to try out more dishes. read more
