Roasted Cold Noodles Special
Tom L.

No. 1 BBQ has been around for a long time - 9 years, I think. I haven't been back here since I had a terrible experience with their service years ago. However, I've heard rumors that they're better now, so I decided to give them another go. TL;DR - service is still a bit slow, but some of the food is worth the wait now. Be prepared to spend 1-2 hours here if it's crowded and you've ordered more than just skewers. It was packed when we came by on a Friday at 9 p.m., but the crowd had cleared out by 10 p.m. The interior is fairly small - 6 booths and a single large table in the middle. Be prepared to rub shoulders with a stranger if it's crowded. We ordered 7 skewers and a few dishes. Skewers have a minimum order quantity of 2 skewers per type. The food came out over the course of an hour and a half. They forgot to put in one of the dishes, and we ended up canceling that order in the end. The food was hit or miss, with most of it being hits. The skewers were great - spicy and flavorful. Oysters on a hot plate came out sizzling hot and were delicious. The northeastern pork hotpot was so good and absolutely worth the 40-min wait. It came with northeastern-style blood sausage, sauerkraut, pork belly, and clear noodles. The roasted cold noodles were super "meh" - very oily and more fried than roasted.

Good vibe, northeastern china style. Friendly owners. GuoBaoRou is very good, beef skewers were also good. However, I ordered grilled cold noodles to go, when I ate it at home, there's plastic wrap in it. When I reheat the left over the next day, I pulled out more plastic wrap! I got paranoid thinking how much harmful chemicals I have eaten from the plastic wrap....

I love spicy food. This place is one of my favorites. The snacks or the dishes are amazing with beer if you drink Beer. The best skewers in town. The variety you can try.

Sweet and Sour Pork

Super amazing, so worth it! The owner is super sweet and they recently hired a new chief and there are a lot of new items on the menu!

Food is great. Authentic northeastern Chinese food. Must have is: Guobao Rou, Lengmian, Kai jiucai. Service is not typical American hospitality. But as a real northeastern girl, I knew they are real, they sounds "rude" but warm heart inside. Recommended.东北人可以去,家乡的味道。

Legit Chinese Northeast bbq style. Spicy chicken bones was good too. Highly recommended guys. Will be back.

Soup

The best BBQ in town. We drove all the way from Arkansas just to eat this BBQ. Authentic and the boss was super nice!! Highly recommend!

Flat chicken wings, silk worms, chinese hot dogs, lamb on skewers, egg plant, clams, cold noodles (sweet and sour summer dish).

It's a matter of expectations. If you are expecting shish-kebabs It is not. But if you are expecting authentic northern chinese bbq this IS the place. This style food is basically bar food, meant to be enjoyed with friends talking and plenty of beer. In China the street vendors come out at 10pm, chairs are set up with lights and the good times begin. The BBQ grill is a long skinny gutter with charcoal just the right width for the skewers to sit above the heat. The fresh skewer starts at one end and rolls to the other end well done. Spicy if you like but totaally full of flavor.

Hands down the best Chinese food we've had in the DFW area since we started looking three years…read moreago. You can immediately tell the food is authentic and high quality because you walk out stuffed without that gross, bloated feeling. We tried the xiao long bao, chili dumplings, salt and pepper tofu, beef and broccoli, and the moo shu pork, and every single thing hit the mark. The moo shu pancakes are made fresh and steamed right before they bring them out, which makes a huge difference compared to the dry ones most spots serve. The soup dumplings rival Din Tai Fung and don't taste junky like a lot of dim sum places around here. The service was great, super friendly and on top of everything. I'm honestly surprised this place isn't packed every day, definitely give it a try.

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.

This is close enough, that I'm considering it Dallas. I liked everything we've chose. Soup dumplings- Xio lao bao and the pan fried dumpling were both delicious and surprisingly something that my children actually wanted to eat. This is more of an authentic restaurant, and so they don't even offer a french fries (childrens go-to food). So I was pleasantly surprised that they liked the dumblings enough to eat them all. The crab cheese puff was good, but the beef burrito was absolutely delicious. If choosing between those two- I would go for the burrito. The three pepper spicy chicken was also very good, and we especially liked the bang bang noodles with beef. It was a fun twist to have scissors and I love a location that makes their own noodles so that was fantastic. It would be great if we had them down in Houston. The only thing that I didn't love was the customer service. They we're not attentive, and I had to keep asking for things like straws for the cups, napkins and other basic things that you think they would bring out on their own. Overall, I'm not docking off any more stars because we were just grateful to have halal chinese options.

Love bamboo house! This is one of my favorite places to come whenever I'm craving Peking Duck. Not…read moreonly do you get the duck with the perfectly done crispy skin in a cute dish shaped like a duck, but you also get the rest of the duck in a bone broth soup. It's so much better than chicken soup with the tenderness and flavor. They give you plenty of the pancakes and veggies. David is the absolute best everrr! He always takes care of us and knows just what to recommend. Pretty sure he sees us and just puts in the duck order at this point. Anyways, the pea shoots are basically one of the only vegetables I love to eat and I'm always so happy to see it on the menu here. All of the dishes are great and you really can't go wrong. Come with a small group for family style while enjoying the intimate environment and good food! There's always plenty of parking and it's perfectly located right off the freeway.

But regardless, we didn't have enough skin so asked if we can get 2 more skins, even if we had to pay for them. The waitress barked at us that it comes in 10-pks and that she can't get us just 2 pieces. Fine, but there's no need to be annoyed and roll your eyes at us. The service was much to be desired. We ordered the A-Choy vegetable and it was awful, old and yellow and not cooked well. It's like they didn't sauté it in a hot enough wok so it wasn't crispy. So disappointing this time. Don't get me wrong, the Peking Duck and the soup that comes with it were still pretty good. Thus the second star.
