Plenty of parking Hargow: DELICIOUS and plump shrimp Shumai: I'm so happy I ordered 2 orders Shrimp and chive dumpling: basic but still delicious Soy noodles: reminds me of childhood. Was as good as any place in San Gabriel, CA Spare ribs: tasty! Curry beef turnover: exceptional. I want one now! Roast pork belly: that skin is CRISPY! Amen. Shrimp rice rolls: their sauce was excellent and most places make it too sweet for me Turnip cakes: a little too oily but still tasty Salt and pepper pork chops: good cut of meat, lacking the salt and pepper taste Sugar cakes: not too sweet and good texture So happy to have authentic Chinese in Arizona after my move!

First off, it's only fair to say this review can't…read morecompare to my in-laws' famous and highly rated upscale Chinese restaurant -- which also happens to carry Great Wall as part of the name. That said, expectations adjusted, this spot delivers a solid yum cha experience for Arizona. As you pull in, you'll notice it's located in an unassuming strip mall. Inside, the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect -- controlled chaos, with traditional steam carts rolling through a packed dining room filled with large family tables. The service is hit or miss, and with dim sum you often want your favorites right away, so sometimes you just have to wait for the cart to come around. Tried a variety of dishes. The Cheung Fun has always been a favorite of mine and it was decent. The Shumai, Har Gow, Char Siu Bao, Lo Bak Go, Taro, and of course Dan Tat (egg tarts) were all good. I think I'm officially done ordering Wu Gok though -- that one didn't do much for me and probably won't be on my list next time. Almost forgot, you can't have yum cha without Gai Lan, and as usual it was good -- honestly a dish that's hard to mess up. Overall, the best dim sum I've had so far in Arizona.

We only ordered a few dishes as we had a game to go to: beef chow fun (dried style) and combo bbq meat dish (bbq pork, roast pork, roast duck). Everything tasted so good & authentic, we were left satisfied. Our server was also very friendly. I will definitely be coming back to try more traditional dishes, especially some seafood dishes.

They even offer a variety of dipping sauces when dining in now. During my latest visit, we ordered roast pork and roast duck rice plates. Both had wonderfully crispy skin and tasted fresh. I love that the duck here is never too gamey or salty like at other locations. I also love the soup! The west lake beef soup was the right level of thickness, with a solid amount of meat and mushrooms. It's perfect with white pepper added from the table. Service is always friendly, and has been more efficient in recent years. Will continue to be a loyal customer, especially as they remain open 365 days a year :)

The service could have been a little better, but it wasn't terrible. The price was reasonable, and the ambience was really nice. I especially liked the bright Asian colors throughout the restaurant it gave the place a lively feel. I ordered the Mongolian beef, but it was more like a beef and broccoli dish. Traditional Mongolian beef usually has onions, and mine didn't have any. The flavors were really good, though the beef was a little on the salty side. Not so salty that it was inedible, but definitely something where you'll want a sip of water with each bite. Overall, still a good spot with great soups, fair prices, and a nice atmosphere.

Waitress recommended the cold soy milk and it didn't disappoint. They def make it fresh here! (And not too sweet as my wife says) Make sure to get the chili oil! The one they make here is delicious. I don't think Phoenix has many southern Chinese restaurants so I'm glad to have Claypot Kitchen nearby churning out delicious HK diner classics.

We came hungry and started with steaming edamame, dumplings, and tempura shrimp (the holy trinity) The cashew chicken & veggies is my go-to lighter option - but this visit, the steamed bao buns stole the show - melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Liz even brought out seaweed so we could roll our own sushi - something I wouldn't have thought to order...now I'm fully obsessed! The dish that officially tops my list though: Liz's Lo Mein Noodles combo with chicken, pork, & beef. I've never tasted anything like it - dangerously addictive. 10/10 experience. Always. And strolling around the beautiful @scottsdalequarter afterward is the perfect way to end the evening. Counting down til my next visit!

So far, this is the oddest place I have been to. There is a…read moresmall child watching YouTube video game tutorials . A gentleman that seems overly preoccupied with putting food items in a delivery bag. Every table has a reserved sign on it, so where would you like us to sit? It seems very unorganized. I would expect to see this type of restraunt in a suburban strip mall, rather than a higher scale shopping mall. Took easily 10 min to get our drinks to us. Twice we were offered other people's food, so there is a need to update POS systems or front of house management. The cheese puffs are very good. The orange chicken was more sweet than spicy.No presentation, just put on a plate and take it out. I felt like I was at someone's home, rather than a restaurant. Maybe that is the vibe they are going for. The dish was more like opening up a bag of chicken fingers then dump a sweet orange sauce. If anyone has had a frozen orange chicken meal,made by a company that is famous for their pies. A meal that can be purchased at your local grocery store...well, that is close to what we are talking about. It came out without any serving utensil. WTH? The Mongolian beef was more like pot roast and fatty. It certainly was not what I would consider spicy. Ambiance is VERY casual. There are regulars and they seem to be like family, so that is cool, once you have been accepted in the circle of trust. Maybe I am spoiled, because we tend to get very good Chinese in Las Vegas, due to the "Whales" coming in to gamble. Maybe this considered fabulous for Scottsdale, but certainly not what I was raised to expect. Now, it has been few weeks since my nephew and I tried this place. I wanted to let it breathe before posting "hot". To be fair. We were offered some dumplings to apologize for the wait. We declined, because I was afraid of what they may taste like. I asked for the check and the lady resisted saying that we hardly touched the food and she did not want to charge. This also was nice, but my ENTIRE working life has been in the hospitality/customer service/food service industry. They have bills to pay. They prepared the meal. They provided the service. They deserved to be paid. She apologized once again and said that they were using a new cook. I thought that I might be unusually over-critical however, my nephew, who resembles a trash compactor went away saying that there would be way he would ever get food from there. I wish this place well. Maybe there needs to be a better front of house/back of house dynamic. I can think of many things that would help.

I ordered the ginger lobster hoping to treat my mom, but the lobster was rubbery and inedible. Other dishes were low quality and the meats were tough.

Order at the cashier, grab a number, and food will be served to you. Needless to say, I ordered the 4. Shanghai pork mini soup dumplings which were $10.25 for 6 dumplings. I would've loved less dough, more soup, overall bigger portion size (larger dumplings or more of them). Otherwise, the soup itself was tasty. We also ordered the 14. Chongqing Fried Spicy Chicken $13.95, which was a platter of boneless chicken and peppers. I was very impressed with the crisp exterior but soft/juicy interior of the chicken. I'm not usually a spice person, but I was left feeling tingly but not in pain and not numb. Overall I found Heng's Kitchen to be disproportionately pricey given the taste and portion sizes. I'm pretty critical and discerning about my XLB, and this place did not totally satisfy my craving, although I was pleasantly surprised about the chicken. Note: rice is not included with any dish and is $1 extra. Free room-temperature self-serve water available.
