The service was great, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was really unique. Although our whole party had not shown up yet the server still came out to the table to greet me and brought me my drink. I ordered the Gen Chow's, and it was great. Plenty to eat, I even shared it with someone and we were both full with some left over. This is the first of many visits that I will have at this restaurant. Service throughout the meal was really, really good. Wonderful experience all the way around. read more

My father ate there 2 days ago. Been in the hospital the last 1.5 days due to salmonella poisoning after eating at Dai Tung in mission. Under cooked general chicken is the culprit. This place and its McAllen location are not good. Clearly unsanitary. Recommend no one take their over 70 family member there. It's like playing Russian roulette with your and your family's health. read more

Been coming here for weekday lunch for years. The interior is inviting and cozy. They serve large lunch portions and are fast and efficient. They offer dine in or carry out options. read more

Food Good very large portions fast service appears clean friendly staff would recomend to friends

we asked for napkins and they took 10min. the food was good though but we asked for the check and they took 8min

Food is OK and that's being nice. Service is on par. I was one of the only 2 people inside the restaurant and the waiters were too busy sitting on another table talking amongst themselves loudly and while cussing, all while facing away from us. Took 10 minutes to get a water refill. Took another 10 for him to come pick up the check after I had set the money down. Won't be coming back any time soon. read more

First time trying it out! Did not disappoint, food was served very hot and good spice to my dish! Ambiance was just right, very dim lighting which I enjoy at restaurants! Server was busy but attentive! Must go and try! read more

I just love Dai-Tung-Mission. Been coming for many years. Love there ambience and fresh served food. Every time I come to Mission for errands I make it a thing to stop by. Ordered many things on the menu, but my two favorite go to's for my girls and I are dumplings and orange chicken in dinner plate. Serving is huge and enough for us three. read more

So disappointed with the food I had here. I ordered the Triple Delight for lunch. A little under $12.00, so price is great, but still not worth it. Stale rice, flavorless food. Oh, and why is it so dark in there. I could barely see a thing in there, and I know you won't see me in there again! read more

Great service! Just remodeled. You enter on the east side now. Meals with fresh veggies are the best here! Of course, you can get fired meals if you're in the mood. Speaking Chinese isn't necessary, although the owners and almost the entire staff speak Chinese. The menu is in English. Although I always show up during non-busy hours, there are always customers here. The food is always fresh. Dinner portions are huge and can always feed two! If you're into sharing. read more

Dai Tung - Lunch: FRESH veggies! Just the way I like it! - Chinese Near Me - Mission, Texas

Zero stars. We are there not long after opening and we were served bugs in our fried rice. We told them about it and left. We did get a $2 discount per bug..... Nice to see people still eat there.... read more

Great Place with great food! Service was great, quick and taste was off the charts. Definitely will be revisiting!

Best I've tried. Crispy noodles in garlic sauce with chicken and vegetables! Highly recommended!!" Let's eat

Plenty of food; decent prices. There were 5 people in our party and we all enjoyed our meal.

I ordered the basil Chicken. It had jalapeños in it. Very weird. It was good except for the jalapeños. Maybe they are trying to appeal to the Mexican community but I think they should keep it traditional. My friend ordered the lemon chicken it came with the lemon sauce on the side. That seems weird too. This was my favorite Chinese in the valley but seems to have changed from what it used to be. Also prices seem to have gone up like everything I guess. read more

This place doesn't look like much just by passing by. But this is a place you don't wanna miss out on!!!! Fast quick and friendly service!!! The dining room is really dim it has a nice scene to it. Iv been here several times and each time does not disappoint!!!! We had one of the lunch specials they were $11 orange chicken with fried rice, egg roll , and soup. Definitely worth the price!!! We also had the veggie lomein $13. The portions are huge!!! Two people can eat off of the orange chicken and lo mein. You definitely don't wanna miss out on this place!!! I'm editing my review to four stars as I noticed I was charged a fee for using my credit card. I don't think that the consumer should be responsible for that cost. read more

As you can see the post are very old. I just had dinner and it was horrible my wife had sweet and sour chicken it tasted like rubber. I had a seafood stir fried. I literally threw up in the parking lot. We had one taste and left the plates. Total waste of money. read more

The food is fine. We ordered two of the dinner specials: chicken with broccoli and chicken with almonds. The plates had too much sauce but that's easy to deal with. Both came with egg rolls and soup. It was a good deal. I took two stars off because of their dishonesty. First, the plate that they advertise as having almonds had peanuts. Then when we went to pay, they tacked on a $1 charge for using a credit card, but they didn't say that first. And the owner is so rude. He's the only who can take payment, and if he's busy, you have to wait. I don't recommend this place. read more

Enjoying my food until I saw a black bug in my food. Manager/owner didn't even come out from the back to address the issue. Was then told by my server that I could "just leave." Also, if you do decide to eat here, they charge a 3.99% fee if you do not pay with cash. read more

Best Chinese food in the valley!! Quick and fast and very tasty. Recommend to try there chicken almonds and china three delight.

I go there for one dish that they excel at Kung Pao shrimp. Love the food there and it is clean with good service.

I don't usually like giving bad reviews but the service was really bad and made me not want to go back. The server came up to us once we were seated and simply asked "do you know what you want?" and he then simply gave us the menu. I soon realized he was eating in the table behind us while we decided on our food selection. Food: We ordered the general chow chicken and broccoli beef which didn't disappoint. The general chow chicken was serve as large pieces of chicken which was a first for me. We had ordered the large portions which were sufficient to feed 4 people. I wouldn't say that I don't recommend this place but I would say to simply not expect high/average customer service. read more

Chinese takeout was decidedly the Saturday night dinner objective, which of course then piqued my curiosity. How does South Texas fare with regards to Americanized Chinese cuisine. Not that I love the heck out of Chinese food because, confession time, as a Chinese person, I actually prefer Thai and Vietnamese cuisine - FOR SHAME. We called in a pretty massive order, with the Szechuan bean curd for me (per the owner/phone answerer - it's vegetarian). "Ten minutes" seemed like an underestimation of time and indeed it was, as we had to wait a bit. But during that additional three or five minutes, I observed like 6 groups walk in or out. Sundays are reportedly even busier, so plan accordingly. Ultimately, the bean curd was palatable, although excessively oily - which is very typical of Chinese take out. I did like that it was not overly drowned in sodium (despite the tofu triangles being a deep brown), it actually had a bit of a sweetness. The portion was fairly generous, especially considering no one else would dare touch it - hey more for me. My tummy was angry with me afterwards, but it's always whining about something . . . I think it ended up being like $70 for 10 people (two of whom were tiny children capable of eating a few bites of sesame chicken), so pretty all right! read more

My guy and I were in the mood for some Chinese takeout and did a quick Yelp search to find good spots in the area. We're new to the valley and are slowly discovering places and figured Dai Tung would be our next great culinary adventure. This, however, was incorrect. We ordered at the restaurant and ended up deciding on the crab Rangoon, almond chicken dinner, and some wonton soup. The almond chicken was (to my surprise) very flavorless. I tried adding soy sauce to brighten up, but it didn't do much. The soup was alright. We both found it strange that the wontons didn't have any meat in them. This is the first time I've ever had wonton soup made this way. The only redeeming part of the meal were the crab rangoons, which were very tasty and prepared perfectly. Sadly, Dai Tung did not measure up to my standard of good Chinese food. We won't be back. read more

Woa woa woa. This is some of the best Chinese food ive ever eaten. It has this authentic flavor and crunch that you cant get in fast food. Im so glad I found this restaurant! Try the general chicken and kung pao chicken. read more

We love Dai Tung. We moved to the area last year and did not know anybody., so had to find good places to eat by ourselves. We try to eat local, avoiding large chains when possible. Started checking out Yelp for reviews and found this gem. Service is prompt and courteous. Menu extensive and everything is fresh cooked. read more

They moved next door The ambiance is the same The food is very delicious My favorite is kung pao shrimp The chicken almond is terrific Soups are very good The rest room was clean;could have been a tad cleaner The food compared to Chinese restaurants in San Francisco Is comparable But they don't serve complimentary hot tea Having been to several Chinese restaurants in the valley This is be far the best Chinese restaurant in the RGV read more

We went to Dai Tung on a Sunday night, the places we wanted to go to were closed. Neither Chris, my boyfriend, or my nephew and his girlfriend, had been there. The server seemed like he'd had a long day and was not happy to see us. Although we weren't the last table of the night. We were really low maintenance. My boyfriend and I got the Orange Chicken, which was dry and not very flavorful. The cup of Egg Drop Soup, was pretty yummy. A nice thick consistency, plenty of egg. I missed the peas and carrots, but otherwise good. I don't think I'll be back. The service was not up to what I expect and the food wasn't great. Although some of the other reviews say the Pho is the better choice. Maybe I will go back. read more

Just a day or so after Christmas I took my family to eat at DaiTung. The food is delicious BUT the restaurant is dirty as far as sticky door handles going in, sticky table tops, sticky Soy Sauce bottles & sticky Hot Sauce containers. So I go to the restroom to wash my hands and there is NO SOAP. At the time of payment I go up to the cashier which was not the usual tall skinny Asian man that normally is there, but it was a short Asian man instead. I told him that someone needed to go outside the restaurant doors (2) of them and scrub off the nasty sticky handles. I told him about the table & bottle & container being sticky & how NO SOAP in restroom. He ignored me and used my card to pay and told me "Goodbye". No, "I'm sorry ma'am, thank you for letting me know, nothing". I could call the Board of Health but I don't want to do that unless I go again in the near future and find it in same condition. read more

I order some general chow chicken here. The waiter claimed that the chicken was going to be very soft and upon arrival I tried it and it was hard I spit most of it out and left the entire plate there. you best believe I will not be going back here ever again and I wouldn't recommend that even when my worst enemy to eat here The waiter was also very rude as well. read more

Great food, large portions. Prices have increased and if you plan to visit pay in cash the debit/ credit card payment fee is high.

Good Food. Very reasonable prices! Something that might keeep me from coming back is the credit card sur charge! Not a fan... read more

Wasn't my favorite place. My son-in-law was in town to see his hospitalized father and I was looking for a decent Chinese food place to take him. We didn't want a buffet. I searched Yelp for help and saw that Dai Tung had fairly high ratings, so we went there. We were seated immediately as there weren't many diners there for a Sunday night. Our drink orders were taken and served quickly...iced tea. We ordered a small bowl of won ton soup each. We are used to this soup being cooked in a clear or a chicken broth but their won ton soup was made wth a beef broth...strange. The soup contained two wan ton's. The wan ton's were huge and totally empty. Also strange. I ordered Sesame Chicken and D. ordered Triple Delight with Garlic sauce. Our orders came out fairly quickly and each plate was a HUGE serving. My sesame chicken was served with a small portion of nicely steamed broccoli. My son-in law seemed to enjoy his Triple Delight and fairly swiftly consumed half of the plate. My Sesame Chicken was nicely prepared but I do enjoy a bit of a crunch to this meal and there was none. The chicken was very tender and the sauce was tasty. I was only able to consume a third of it and it took me another two meals to finish this dish at home. Son-In-law ate the remaining half of his at lunch the following afternoon. All in all it was a pleasant experience but I had much rather have been served a chicken flavored wan ton soup and HALF of my chicken dish served with some crunchy won tons and a spring roll. I am giving Dai Tung 4 stars because of the reasons above...not because the food was bad. read more

Horrible customer service. They messed up in my order and noticed when I got home, I had to drive back again and pay for the difference even it was not my mistake, but theirs. When I made him aware it was not our mistake he told us "you pay it or I take it all back"... that is not the point, not even an apology. So much for customer service. Never going back, thank you! read more

Great service, great relaxing & clean place... The food was served fast, big portions I had General Tso's, it was crunchy, tender chicken in the inside however I think the sauce was not spicy enough, it needed more kick, more flavor...over all, it was good. read more

I have been here several times and the food is always fresh and hot! Today was no exception. I ordered the pan fried noodles with shrimp. The veggies were cooked perfectly and had good flavor. The shrimp was a bit over cooked but not bad. We also had the general chows chicken which was excellent! You could tell that it was fresh out of the kitchen as the chicken was crunchy and steaming hot. Flavor was great! I'll be back that's for sure. read more

I have been coming to Dai Tung for nearly 20 years - we usually love the General Tso chicken. It's always hot and spicy and WAAAY too much. However, since this restaurant has also started charging a service fee to use credit cards, I will no longer be patronizing this establishment. I am very disappointed in their decision to charge the customer for using credit cards. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for years and the owner is rude. This time he went above and beyond to upset a loyal customer. He is always in a bad mood. He held my order from being made because he said the lady that took it did not tell me it was dai-tung mission. He stated he called me to confirm and since I didn't answer he did not make my order. I did not get a call. After I arrived he tells to sit and wait. I waited for 15-20 minutes and order comes out. He charges me full dinner menu prices after I had specifically asked about and ordered dinner specials. He would not honor it. I am done with this place. read more

I often pondered to myself what made this establishment so great for the majority of my time writing this review. Even though this restaurant may seem mediocre the memories you will make here are ones that last a life time. Not only is the food amazing the waiters are always friendly. I would describe the atmosphere to be like a nice but uncomfortable family dinner. The food here is delicious and the customer service is great. Although the order may take long the food is worth the wait. The amount of authentic Chinese food in the Valley is abysmal, but Dai Tung offers Chinese food like no other. We all know that food alone can not hold a business afloat so they rely heavily on their great service. This may account for why this place has stand the test of time even though the demand for Chinese food is low.I personally would recommend the Egg Drop Soup along with the Black noodles. Over all Dai Tung is not only a restaurant but an experience. 9.5/10 Would come again. read more

I am never coming back to this restaurant again. They literally brought out the food in a matter of minutes. Under five minutes. Kid you not. Good food takes time to prepare. First we ordered Chinese egg rolls with hot & sour soups. These were ok. At least they didn't mess the easy stuff up. But again, food came out almost instantly. We ordered an entree of beef broccoli. Horrible. So I figured maybe we tried the wrong meal, maybe it wasn't their specialty. So we proceeded to order another entree. Came out in less than 5-minutes too; shrimp with garlic sauce. Another horrible tasting entree. Btw, the fried rice, horrible. I'm from Houston, where Chinese food is amazing. This was a complete WASTE of $50. Never ever coming back. read more
