This place has the most authentic peking roast duck in dfw, and their execution is also the best…read moreI've had. Can't get much closer to the actual traditional roast duck experience from beijing. The wrapper is handcrafted, thin, stretchy, and strong. Very rarely seen even in the entire US. They even give you a dish of sugar to dip the crispy duck skin with, which shows how much they care about passing down the tradition. Make sure to request shredded green onions which is a must for the duck. Each duck costs 68 dollars as of oct 2026, plus 10 dollars for the bone soup (very delicious). It sounds expensive but it's worth every penny. You can easily get scammed to pay over 100 dollars for roast duck in other restaurants, so this price is fair and honest. The order comes with 18 wrappers which is enough to serve three adults.

My friend and I were craving Peking duck, so we decided to try it out. The reviews were promising,…read moreand I had heard that they carve the duck tableside. 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 However, the menu pictures on Yelp are outdated, and they only offer whole Peking duck, not half orders.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.

The pork shumai and egg custard tasted pretty similar to frozen versions I've had, but still not bad.

This spot is located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking available.

I can imagine how busy this place gets on the weekend because even for a weekday lunch it was quite packed with large groups. The staff was working really hard and as a customer here you will need to be patient so just keep that in mind. I will definitely be returning in the future to get my Chinese food craving fix and I can't wait to try more items. Warning: Be prepared for a food coma. :)

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.
