Cynthia L.

Really made an improvement from the last time I remember going there - was quite full for a quiet evening. Food was not my fav to be honest but I would go again and try a different meal

8/10 Rating: Udon Noodle (only because I'm more of a rice and flat noodle person)
Lawrence C.

Being the only restaurant in the plaza, Howard Wang's seems like a hidden secret unless someone told you about it - and that would be a mistake. After a family dinner last Sunday, I can tell you - it's a secret worth discovering. As we settled in, the dining room felt clean, warm and relaxed, with soft lighting. Tables were spaced generously, allowing for comfortable conversation and a sense of privacy. Our server greeted us with a warm smile and offered helpful recommendations. He checked in periodically to ensure we were enjoying our meal, without ever feeling rushed. With our appetites stimulated, it was time to explore the menu. We decided to go all-in and ordered a selection of dishes: 1) (9/10) Sweet & Sour Soup for starters to warm up the tummy before a feast 2) (10/10) Mongolian Beef with generous amounts of green onions and quality you can taste. The beef tasted like actual beef, a welcome change from the rubbery, starch-laden versions found at many other Chinese restaurants 3) (10/10) Hot Garlic Sauce w/ Chicken (Spicy) has a symphony of bold flavors. Sweet, savory, and with a satisfying fiery heat that kept us reaching for more. For those who like a kick, request to make it spicy! 4) (9/10) Mandarin Walnut Shrimp is one of my favorites that is complemented well with white rice to balance sweet and savory. The shrimp has the right amount of crisp and softness on the inside. 5) (9/10) Chow Fun Flat Noodle was a delicious surprise, resembling Pad See Ew but with a distinctly Chinese flavor profile. The wide noodles were perfectly soft, clinging to a flavorful sauce, with tender, fresh chicken. It was a generous portion, and the leftovers were just as good the next day. 6) (8/10) General Tsao's Chicken is like a traditional orange chicken but with more meat-to-fat ratio. It feels like biting down real meat rather than just batter. 7) (8/10) Udon Noodles only because I'm more of a rice and flat noodle person - this was my teenage daughter's favorite. Udon noodle fans, this one's for you! If you enjoy stir-fried noodles, you'll love this dish. We completed the night with their Chocolate Cake & Green Tea Ice Cream. 1) (9/10) Chocolate Cake: If you're a brownie and chocolate person, the cake is a great way to reset your cheat-day. 2) (10/10) Green Tea Ice Cream: I was expecting a grainy-ice texture like most restaurants but was caught by surprise on the unique quality - creamy and freshness. Ice cream is my number one choice of dessert, which is why I'm giving it a 10/10. This was a great choice for family dinner; I am looking forward to having date night here if given the opportunity to escape the kids for a few hours. Howard Wang's is more than just a restaurant; it's a dining experience. We'll be back soon to try the duck and other fan favorites. Highly recommended!!

Honey, sesame chicken
Maggie L.

Haven't been here in quite a while. My honey sesame chicken was absolutely delicious, right out of the walk, piping hot, good egg roll and very soothing wonton soup. Lettuce wrap with chicken also a winner.

Day after mixed vegetables

Really bad quality. The next day that did a lot of vegetables look like a science experiment. Won't go again. Is there any good Chinese in Dallas?

Happy family (bottom) and schezchuan pork and scallops (top). Both were lunch specials

Garden Restaurant is a Dim Sum restaurant in Garland where you don't have to wait to get a table…read more While that's good if you're in a rush, it's the opposite if you're looking for a great Dim Sum experience. My Overall Rating - 2 Stars Atmosphere - Tucked into a shopping strip in Garland (the old Arc-en-ciel for your OG's), Garden is an open, spacious Dim Sum restaurant. On my Sunday lunch, there was no wait, but the restaurant was pretty full. However, for a Dim Sum restaurant, there were not many carts out (more on this below). 1/2 Star. Service - Many Dim Sum restaurants don't have carts, and instead you order from a menu. Garden has both. There are a few servers pushing carts with the most popular items. If you don't see it, you can simply order from the menu. This is totally fine, but on my Sunday visit, they were busy and finding someone to order from the menu became increasingly frustrating. 1/2 Star. Food - There is a reason they were not packed. Simply put, Garden's offerings were average at best. Their pork buns were more bun than pork, and even the bun lacked the subtle sweet, soft shell. We ordered what we thought were Pork Xu Mai, but it ended up being shrimp. That's when we decided to order from the menu, but if you read above even that was a challenge. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Only if I get overruled. Occasionally, my family members will prioritize time and convenience over quality. If that happens, I'll end up eating at Garden Restaurant. Garden is by no means bad, there are just other options with better food and service. 1/2 Star.

I'm a big fan of Chinese mustard, but beware: it will make you cry, both from enjoyment and from the pain of your sinuses lighting on fire. Worth it anyway. If you like egg rolls, they're a must. They're enormous and packed with the freshest ingredients. I always regret loading up on appetizers because I'm full before the real food shows up, and I do it every single time. I've had a lot of the noodle dishes and each one is better than the last. If you're a tea drinker, they have a huge selection. I'm sad to report that I ate too fast and only snapped pictures of the desserts. They were as exceptional as everything else. Service is A+. I just wish I lived a little closer. Or maybe not, because I'd gain 20 pounds. It's a must try. Trust me, you'll be back.

I know many will disagree with me but for your money go elsewhere.

I'd say it was pretty good overall, but there are definitely some issues that warrant attention on…read moretheir part if they want to be successful. I overheard one employee (maybe the manager) on the phone saying things are slow and it has been hard, which makes sense based on what I saw. It was what should have been a busy lunch day for them but my table was one of two there when we arrived, and the woman at the other table actually abandoned her water/sauces and left the restaurant before she ordered. My thinking with hot pot places is that you can either cater more to the Asian market or to the American market, but not effectively to both. I was at a different one last week that was very Asian oriented. I could not identify 90% of the items in the pot and they could tell me nothing about what sort of meat they use; they only had "beef" and "fatty beef" options for beef, but could not tell me what cut it was. It didn't taste like any beef I have ever had. There were a lot of tastes and textures I was not familiar with and didn't particularly like. That's just personal preference, not indicative of quality, but it's important to know that people who are not accustomed to those tastes and textures may not respond as well to them. That particular place, I would not return to. Chao's Beef Hotpot is much closer to the mark on catering to the American market. The menu makes sense. I know what meat I'm ordering. The ribeye looked nicely marbled. The $1 promotional beef plate was awesome. Food-wise, we were all satisfied. Where I think Chao's misses the mark is twofold: 1) Service -- The only person we interacted with in the restaurant was someone who spoke passable English but was difficult to understand. No problem at all with people speaking their own languages, but when you're having a new experience (which many American who wander into a hot pot place are), it's hard enough to understand what's going on even without a language barrier and having to strain a little to understand someone. They would benefit from having some staff who can communicate effortlessly with English-speaking clientele. There was also no explanation of how things work there and they have no literature or signage. It's like they just assume that everyone who goes in there knows what they are doing, which is not the case for most people. So I had to be the person who explained it to the other 3 people I was with. No one had any idea what all the different bowls and spoons are for or what the right etiquette is or why there was a metal thing in the pot. So many different sauces at the sauce bar: which ones mix well together or go with which foods? Pricing is my last gripe, though at this place with the promo it happens to be extremely reasonable and it's great that 4 people can share one pot, which is very economical. But I hate the idea of a la carte charges for sauces and vegetables. My favorite hot pot place in Richardson charges a fixed price per person for the stock and you have to select 1 protein so you're in for like $18/person, but you have unlimited sauces and vegetables. On an a la carte offering it seems nuts to pay $5 for a plate of cabbage or $5 for some mushrooms. And the assorted vegetables at Chao's for $8 is fine but includes a lot of stuff that was more spriggy than leafy and didn't feel like it made sense in a pot. Overall I think Chao's COULD become very successful, but they will need to work on the communication with customers and be more thoughtful about the customer experience. Remember that a lot of your target market is people who are in the surrounding offices or wandered over to the urgent care or saw it driving by and have no clue what they are doing here. Having a friendly face ready to greet them and explain how things work and help them have a good experience will go a long way. The fact that you had a customer in there just sitting there who ended up walking out before she ordered was a missed opportunity; who knows how many people she might have referred or brought back if she'd had a good experience. She may even have been a food critic or something.

We arrived on a Wednesday evening around 7 p.m., and surprisingly, we were the only customers there, considering it was peak dinner time. We also discovered that we needed to pre-order the duck in advance. Luckily, the lady informed us that there was one available for us, but it would take about 30 minutes. We ordered the crispy cucumber salad, xiao long bao, and the dry-fried string beans. The dry-fried string beans were my favorite. The string beans had a delightful crisp texture and a flavorful taste. The cucumber salad was also good, but some parts were a bit soggy. The XLB skin was too thick and chewy, and it didn't taste like the usual soup dumplings, which was disappointing. I was excited for the duck, but I was honestly disappointed when it arrived. The portions were quite small, considering it was a whole duck. It wasn't carved tableside, which was a letdown. Some parts of the duck were dry, and the skin wasn't crispy enough. To add to the disappointment, they charge extra for almost everything. If you want more pancakes or their homemade duck sauce (which tasted like black bean sauce), you'll have to pay an additional $5. Another thing to note is that they are BYOB, so you can bring your own alcohol. However, the menu pictures on Yelp are outdated, and they only offer whole Peking duck, not half orders. Overall, the food was just okay, and I'll probably try a different spot when I'm in the mood for duck again.
