Craving some Chinese BBQ and this place is good. Good service and comfortable seating. Generous portion and prices are reasonable. The wonton is average and, due to the shrimp/meat portion, it is not balanced.

Not sure why people review this bad but while no Chinese restaurant in Dallas compares to Asia. If you want good Cantonese food this is a great spot. The orange chicken is killer and soup fish maw is great. The beef with tofu is super good. The fish with tofu is alright. Tried and true Chinese place probably 8.5/10 for Dallas area. 6/10 if we compare to Asia though

FOOD Fresh Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup BBQ Pork BBQ Pork with Flat Noodles Overall the food is alright. The BBQ Pork was super tasty and the not too sauced. Great flavor and well cooked. I will say that the rice was a bit on the harder side. The wonton soup was alright. Broth was light but a bit blander in my opinion. I didn't personally have the BBQ Pork with Flat Noodles so I cannot say much about that one. Overall gives me the vibe of comfort home Asian food which is nice. Pretty alright food! VIBES This place definitely gives some traditional Asian family diner vibes. The seating is a bit more on the crowded side and the lighting is a tad bit on the darker side. My friend and I went around 3 PM so it wasn't too crowded. Pretty simple as far as interior and seating consists of tables with chairs and booths. SERVICE The food comes out pretty fast. I came with a bit of a sore throat and the waitress was really nice and helped give recommendations for what foods would help soothe it. Overall really nice and sweet.

Incredibly authentic Cantonese-style dishes! It is cash only, so you must plan for that beforehand. The flavor of each dish was amazing. My parents are Chinese immigrants and demand authenticity when it comes to their food, like we've found in LA and Chicago! This place delivers.

PSA: CASH ONLY!!! Growing up my parents always ordered some Chinese BBQ for lazy days they didn't want to cook. I was craving some randomly and searched far and wide on Yelp. This definitely reminds me of the mom/pop places my parents would take me to. Overall thoughts: Pricier than what I'm used to from Chicago. The Chinese roasted pork was average. I'd definitely would not order that again. What a bummer! The Char Siu and roasted duck were good though. The dishes do not come with rice and it was a separate charge. Dishes ordered: 1) Wonton noodle soup: it tasted like the ones in Chicago, and the broth was very flavorful! The noodle dish was generous and had a lot more wontons than I expected 2) Combination Plate: roasted pork, char siu, and roasted duck Service: the ladies here were super nice. They speak English well, but i seized the opportunity t to practice my Cantonese LOL.

Wonton soup

Family dinner and we ordered Chinese broccoli, beef flat noodles,house lo mein,combination fried rice,wonton soup,scallops, roast duck and roast pork and hot tea. Everything was delicious but the fried rice was slightly soft...mushy. I prefer a crispy or harder fried rice. Overall delicious food and I would suggest this small spot with the basics inside. Nothing fancy but good food. When you walk in there is hanging roast chicken,duck and pork like in Chinatown. Loved it.

Some would consider this a hole in the wall place but it's some of the best Chinese I've had in the area. Cash only and great service. Meals are huge and can be served family style.

Bar-B-Q Pork Char Siu plate.

5 star food 4 star service 4 star atmosphere Been going here for years, never a bad meal and the bar-b-q pork is authentic. The Singapore noodles is great as well. Portions are large. There are meal choices fir everyone, even those picky little eaters.

See all

Quality of food has gone down. Do not expect any great service in the restaurant especially the one in Richardson.

It's authentic and it is one of the good Cantonese restaurants in DFW. My family recommends this restaurant.
