Will reorder

The bathroom was clean and easy for my kids to use (sometimes the sink is too tall for kids to wash their hands unassisted).

Pho Crystal is a solid spot for pho and other Vietnamese fare if you're in the Allen area!…read more My fiance and I have visited twice now because it's close by and it definitely satisfies that pho craving when we are in the mood for it. On both occasions, we started with the spring rolls (grilled pork during our first visit and shrimp during our second visit), and these are fresh and delicious with the peanut sauce it comes with! Unfortunately, they did forget our shrimp spring rolls on our second visit and we had to ask for it after we had both received our bowls of pho... Now onto the main dishes. My fiance has ordered the special combination pho on both occasions and he loves it. This bowl comes packed with different meats, and the broth here is really good. I've had the BBQ & wonton egg noodles and the pho with eye of round steak / flank / tripe. While I loved my bowl of pho (no notes), I do wish the bowl of BBQ & wonton egg noodles was a bit more flavorful. Think I will likely stick to their pho in the future since that's definitely the tried and true :)

We arrived right as the kitchen was about to close, but they still graciously seated us and provided amazing, welcoming service. The restaurant was also incredibly clean. There is a QR code for the menu you scan with your phone. The food was fantastic across the board. The congee was pure comfort food, and the sesame balls were some of the absolute best I've ever had. They were served nice and warm, the filling wasn't overly sweet, and they weren't greasy at all like a lot of other places. I really liked how the soup dumplings all had individual foil wrappers - made it easy and mess free. Highly recommend!

The beef was so flavorful, and we loved it. So this time, we ordered it again. This time, we also tried the pork noodle soup. The pork was flavorful as well. It was pork belly, so the fat made the meat even more tender and savory. Both dishes were delicious! But of the two, we still liked the beef option better. The ordering process was completely digital. We scanned the menu code with our phones and then selected our dishes ourselves. There was very little "human" touch. I still prefer having a server come take our order, which also makes the tipping decision easier. Anyway, we enjoyed the food and will probably come back again.

Great vibes, beautiful art, friendly staff and beautifully presented food…read more Soup dumplings are always a win in my book - I enjoyed these. The mapo tofu was more soupy than I'm used to which made it a different type of spice. I've had mapo tofu many times before and I think this will be better enjoyed by people who are always wanting spicy food

I'd been seeing Hong Yuan all over social media, especially their hand-pulled noodles, so I finally…read moredecided to give this family-owned spot in Plano a try. It's one of those local restaurants that doesn't need flashy décor to stand out--the food is the main attraction. We ordered a variety of dishes so we could get a good feel for the menu, and surprisingly, the dishes I was most excited about weren't my favorites. The Beef Roll completely stole the show. The beef was incredibly tender, wrapped in a flaky pancake with fresh herbs and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite had a great balance of texture and flavor. If you're visiting for the first time, this is the one dish I wouldn't skip. Another standout was the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce. I know eggplant isn't everyone's first choice, but this dish might change your mind. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, soaking up the garlic sauce without becoming mushy. It's listed as spicy, but I found it to be mild, which actually let the garlic flavor come through even more. The Beef & Celery Dumplings were another solid choice. The filling was juicy, the celery added a nice freshness, and they were exactly what I was hoping for from a homemade dumpling. We also ordered the Dry-Fried Green Beans, and they were a great addition to the table. They had a nice bite, were well-seasoned, and paired well with the richer dishes without stealing the spotlight. Now for what might be an unpopular opinion--the Hand-Pulled Noodles. They're one of the restaurant's most talked-about dishes online, and honestly, they were the reason I came. Unfortunately, they just didn't live up to the hype for me. That doesn't mean you shouldn't order them--taste is subjective--but if I were coming back tomorrow, I'd spend my money on the Beef Roll and Eggplant instead. Overall, I'm glad I gave Hong Yuan a try. It's easy to see why locals enjoy this place, and I appreciate supporting a family-owned restaurant that's been serving the community. While the noodles didn't win me over, the Beef Roll, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, and Beef & Celery Dumplings were more than enough to make me want to come back and explore more of the menu.

The owner was so sweet and politely stopped watching his Korean Drama to stir fry my squid. You can just hear the sizzling oil and delicious aroma spread across the restaurant. The tingling MaLa spice was addicting and I savored every bite. As soon as The chef/owner was done, he politely gave me my food and resumed his drama after I told him I didn't need anything else. Epic Asian dining and the food as equally incredible.

The flavor (other than the salt) was acidic and had the snail essence ... but the salt was too overwhelming. The beef used isn't a good quality cut, and I don't normally comment on these kinds of things. I took the remainder home for leftovers and had to add cold water to dilute the salt - thankfully, the flavor remained though. That being said, it was all self-service other than the food being brought to me, which came fairly quickly. Unfortunately, I didnt have the best experience and would likely not come back for the Contra Conch Rice Noodles (which I really wanted to try but they were sold out).

The restaurant is spacious with many tables to accommodate different size parties so it did not take long for us to get seated.

We ordered: Cumin Lamb (side: fried rice); Singapore Noodle Combination (chicken/shrimp/beef); Eggplant w/ Garlic Sauce (side: steamed rice); Okra w/ Giant Oyster Mushroom (side: steamed rice); and Xao Long Bao (6 pcs). WOW! The braised okra with giant oyster mushroom positively SURPRISED and leap frogged to the top of my preferred vegetable GOTOs...The cumin lamb was SO tender and VERY flavorful. One of the best preparations yet. The Singapore noodle combo and Xao Long Bao did not disappoint... More importantly, the service we received was attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, and prompt. Sadly, the eggplant with garlic sauce is the ONLY reason a star is withheld for this review...it detracted from traditional Chinese style; notes of garlic eviscerated by the chef's sweetening to satisfy an American palette...Why fix something that's unbroken?...I get it. The restaurant has to cater to its customers who populate this mix use (business/lease residential) area at the NW corner of Alma and Hwy 121, but doesn't that limit its draw? Guess we'll just have to head either further south on Central (HWY 75) to the Legacy & Spring Creek areas or further west to the Preston and Warren Pkwy Frisco TX area to satisfy our authentic Chinese cuisine food cravings.
