Delicious, delicious, and I have to say it again delicious food. We've tried Chinese cuisine all over California and this was our first in Texas; very good, authentic, and made with fresh ingredients. We are huge fans of hand pulled noodles, and you won't be disappointed with this place. Staff here were great, walked us through the menu, made great suggestions, and were passionate about the food here. How could you go wrong?! This place is a shareable in terms of portions and definitely sweats kind of place in terms of attire. You feel full, comfortable, and walk away feeling great supporting a local restaurant with awesome food. We'll be back as the long bao, and red bean bao's were fantastic and fresh. read more

Hand pulled noodles! Just moved from California where hand pulled noodles in Los Angeles is easy to find. Thankfully, will not longer need to miss it. Hand pulled noodles were delicious at this establishment. service was fast and friendly. However, did see a lot of staff and not a lot of customers. The ratio was off given the floors, furniture, and decor could be cleaned. If you don't mind a little grunginess, the food is definitely worth while. read more

Service was very good. Had the Katsu Ramen Combo. It's a generous portion. Broth was delicious. Noodles were good. Great place to eat. So many options on the menu. read more

Who can say no to homemade noodles or dumplings?! This place is amazing! You enter to a sweet man behind a glass making handmade noodles & their dining area is huge & yet cozy. The service is attentive & helpful that know their menu well. I ordered the chicken fried noodles. They were so well balanced in flavor with a smooth peanut butter garlicky sauce. They are delicious! We also had the rainbow dumplings, which is cool because you get to taste a variety of flavors within them. Only weird thing about those, was that we ordered them fried & they were face down on our plate not showing their colors or the craftsmanship of their work (sad). BUT, they are SO good. My husband ordered sweet & sour chicken & each tender was crisp & yet covered with that sweet & sour savory sauce with lots of pineapple. All in all, this place should be packed & is a McAllen keepsake! Loved it... read more

Gnats. Everywhere. Doubt they came from outside- because they seemed right at home. Food was good, incredibly oily but thats the point i guess. Waitresses were attentive, vibes are different there. They have couches instead of chairs. Gotta slouch a bit to eat read more

Location wise, it's great. As you walk in there's an intense smell that's similar to sewer mixed with cleaning products. I ordered and my food didn't take long at all. The food was rather good. I had pork bao which was delicious along with the curry noodles with tofu. I think the noodles were a bit too greasy though. Flavor was great. I'd go back but might not eat there and just order to-go. read more

I've reviewed this place before and haven't went back since. Decided to give this place another shot after a few months. Staff was friendly but didn't look all that happy to be there which can reflect the experience. We tried different items and were delighted with the result(General and Sesame Chicken). Soda was good. We also got the veggie rolls which were pretty good as well. The syrup on both were light and not too heavy(thickness and flavor profile). With a General Chicken with steamed rice, Sesame Chicken with Fried rice, kids sweet and sour with steamed rice, 2 soft drink/1 water, and an order of veggie rolls cost a bit over $64. OVERALL: Not bad and we say they've been redeemed for the most part. Give this place a shot and see what you think. read more

Went there today around 6:40pm and waited around 15 min after being seated and were never acknowledged by any server. When we left I told the hostess we'll try another time. She didn't even ask what happened, she just said ok. Including us there were only three tables being serviced so it was pretty empty. Very disappointed because the food is delicious. Hopefully management can address this. read more

We've become regulars at this point. Service wasn't as sharp as it usually is, but it didn't take from the overall experience. We love the ambiance that the open spaces create. Our baos, dumplings & Kung Pao chicken were delicious. read more

Favorite Asian in town. Love seeing noodles and dumplings being made in the open kitchen. Food is amazing and we always have enough leftovers for another meal. Soup dumplings are a special experience. As my nephew said "everything we've had here is amazing." read more

Food was ok. The service was good. When it comes to ramen this has a lot of room for improvement. The flavor was bland and the pork belly not coming charred/crispy really kills it in my opinion. read more

The restaurant is quite large in size so you can fit a large party. You can see the noodles being made in house when you enter. The portions per plate are massive! You are definitely able to share a plate with others, the price per item seemed pricy at first but when you see the portion it's actually a really good deal. Service was good and quick. Food was phenomenal, everything tasted great and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Came in for dinner because I was craving bbq buns and fried noodles, I got that and my husband got a ramen soup with shrimp. The good: HUGE portions, I was shocked when everything came out. Both my husband and I ate until we could pop and still had 50% left to take home for another day. Food was very good, staff were friendly, restaurant looked clean. The bad: Upon first entering the restaurant did not smell like delicious food it smelt like a dirty toilet (guessing plumbing issue?) and a cleaner. While the cleaner clearly indicated it's "clean" that's not what I want to smell when I'm walking into a restaurant for dinner. The restaurant is filled with these beautiful couches instead of regular chairs, at first I thought how cool I love this vibe. But after sitting down it was very uncomfortable to eat this way, I was very low compared to my food and did not like the seating at all. I don't remember if there were regular chairs anywhere, but if we ever go back we will opt for those instead. TLDR: very cute, huge portions, uncomfortable chairs. read more

Customer service was terrible. El servicio pésimo, ni pierdan su tiempo ni dinero. Lentos y de muy mal humor la mesera.. Te cobran 20./. De propina por ser más de 6 y no hacen el esfuerzo mínimo por ganarse ese 20% de propina. read more

Came back to try some more dishes once again the service was excellent and the food was very good we tried the Chicken lettuce wraps, orange chicken and Pork mushroom noodles the food had a great flavor to it although the chicken for the wraps tasted a little salty for me. the orange CB Coke had good balance of flavors not to sweet the chicken had a nice crisp but very moist on the inside. The pork mushroom noodles tasted great with a pretty good flavor to it and wasn't too saucy. All items were generous with the portion size we could have probably both eaten off of one plate. I will definitely come back read more

My boyfriend and I came for Valentine's Day after wanting to try this place out for a few months now. We ordered the steamed colorful combo dumplings, Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), and orange chicken with steamed rice. We got the orange chicken and steamed rice first. The orange chicken was very good. It was nice and crispy even despite being covered in the sauce. The steamed rice had a funky smell/taste. My boyfriend described it as tasting like sour milk. We just put the rice to the side and let it be. We figured next time we'll try the noodles. The dumplings took a little longer, but that was expected. I cannot recall which flavors were which, but the yellowish dumpling was the best tasting from the colorful combo. Now for the Xiao Long Bao: they were phenomenal. They had the perfect amount of flavor, soup, and meat inside. I would be back for these alone. Even despite the steamed rice tasting funky, the Xiao Long Bao make up for it. read more

This restaurant serves a style of Chinese food that other Chinese restaurants in the RGV don't serve. It's a great way to get a taste of foods that I grew up with when I'm in the valley. The first time I came, we ordered braised beef noodle soup, LanZhou noodle soup, pork xiao long baos, and bbq park buns. The xiao long baos are tasty and hand made beautifully. The bbq pork buns are also good too. The LanZhou noodles were just ok. The first time I tried their braised beef noodle soup, I was thoroughly impressed. The only weird thing about it was that they used broccoli instead of bok choy. However, I came back a second time and ordered the braised beef noodle soup again, and the broth was totally different, a generic broth and not the authentic, rich beef soup that it's supposed to be. I'm not sure why they switched the soup to a light, generic one instead of keeping the more authentic, richer and darker broth. The service is fine. To-go orders can be made at the counter behind the entrance area, to the left. The orders take a while to fulfill. Both times we ordered to-go and it took over 40 min to receive our food. Since they just opened, and I can see they are still hiring, I suppose they are tight on bandwidth. The restaurant as a whole is spacious with ample seating. There's also an area by the front entrance where you can sit and wait for a table (if necessary) or wait for your takeout. And meanwhile you can watch the chef make hand pulled noodles. Very nice! read more

Came to the soft opening with hubby and was not disappointed! When you walk in, you're greeted immediately. You also have view of the hard working chefs hand making the noodles and dumplings. I've always loved watching chefs at work. The restaurant is clean and fresh. Traditional with a touch of modern. Our server was prompt and we had our drinks within 5 minutes. Hubby had the tonkatsu ramen. I had the wonton soup. We shared the pork panfried dumplings, bbq bao and chicken xiao long bao. Absolutely delicious!! It's family style, so feel free to try a variety. The dough is a great consistency. Not overcooked. The filling is flavorful and a balanced proportion. Overall impressed. Can't wait to go back! read more

I think I've given 4 5 stars ever? All variables taken into account, this place is absolutely a 5 star. AUTHENTIC dumplings. When you live in a place like the valley, where the only food you can get authentic is Mexican, you REALLY appreciate a different cuisine that is. Lived in SF and been to China. This is legit. That alone makes it worth getting up and going for a drive. Service and Ambiance are fine enough but come here for the food. read more

I thought it was a little pricey, but the portions are huge and it tastes great. The shrimp, chicken, and steak fried rice is great. The steak is tender, the shrimp is perfectly cooked and the chicken was good. They don't skimp. They provide soy sauce and chili oil, which I thought went great with the rice. I also had the fried noodles, which was great. When you walk in, the host greets you kindly. You can also see the chefs making noodles through the glass, which adds to the homemade atmosphere. Very cool! I'll definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

I ordered out while in Edinburg for work. Followed review recommendations. The soup dumplings with pork were the best of everything I tried!! The hand stretched noodles had amazing texture, just not much flavor. I would add meat next time. I got them accompany my kung pao chicken. The cucumber salad had a refreshing flavor, but was mushy. read more

Reeaaallly good food, and a whole lot of it. It's a tad expensive for lunch, but you absolutely get your monies worth. I had the Hawaiian fried rice and there was a mountain of it! My friends had the pork belly soup -like a half gallon of it, and my other friend had hand pulled fried noodles. ALL of it was delicious (I know because we all shared - and STILL had enough to take home. If there was a negative, I would say the chicken egg rolls were tough or overcooked, and really lacked flavor. I was disappointed with their "custard" bao bun. This was literally a fried DOUGHNUT, with a weird vanilla *something in the center. It did not look anything like their picture. Our waitress was ok, she was prompt enough, and could explain the items, but her personally was flat. There was no smile, or enthusiasm. As for the ambiance, this place was SOOO cute! Just absolutely tastefully decorated, and a place where you would want to eat. read more

Appetizers: Cucumber Salad & Spiced Edamame The meal kicked off on a refreshing note with a cucumber salad. The diced cucumbers, marinated in garlic and a medley of spices, left a delightful garlicky aftertaste. The soy sauce base added a perfect balance of umami, giving the salad a flavorful depth that was light yet satisfying. Spiced edamame offered an exciting twist on the traditional dish. The steamed edamame were perfectly al dente, and the spices harmonized with the soy sauce, creating a nuanced taste that was both savory and slightly spicy. Both appetizers were satisfying, setting the stage for the main event. Steamed Chicken Dumplings & Bow Buns Next up were the steamed chicken dumplings--delicate parcels of chicken and cabbage goodness. Each dumpling was plump and juicy, with a thin dumpling skin that perfectly held the succulent filling. Their simplicity highlighted the fresh ingredients, making them a favorite at the table. The bow buns brought their own unique flair. Soft and pillowy, the buns encased a filling that was both flavorful and tender. These buns served as a delightful contrast to the dumplings, with their slightly sweet dough balancing the savoriness of their filling. Xiao Long Bao The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Xiao Long Bao, affectionately known as soup dumplings. With a mix of chicken and pork varieties, these little pouches of joy delivered in every way. As you bit into them, a burst of rich broth greeted your palate, followed by the tender meat filling. The complexity of flavors in such tiny packages was impressive, and the delicate craftsmanship was evident in each bite. These were enjoyable and quite memorable, wrapping up the meal beautifully. Overall Experience The restaurant's moderately priced menu offered excellent value with dishes that transcended simple ingredients to deliver a delightful culinary experience. Each dish was crafted with care, and the seamless blend of flavors provided an authentic taste of classic Asian comfort food. Adding to the charm of the venue, every table was accompanied by large, padded, comfortable chairs, ensuring guests could fully relax and savor their meal. The warm, inviting ambience and attentive service further enhanced the dining experience, making it a place worth returning to. *just make sure your waiter knows what they are doing- ours must have been preoccupied- he needed several reminders. read more

We ate the xiao long pao and the beef soup. I had the chili one dry noodle style. I love that they have a noodle station and a dumpling station. Haven't seen a more authentic Chinese place in the valley. The beef soup based is as authentic as you can get in the valley. Reminds me of home. The xiao Lon pao is not bad considering it is in the valley. I love the way they decorated. All the red envelopes makes a good decoration. I just don't like it is a sofa since it is hard to get up. I just did not realize that the end of the restaurant they have the sturdier chairs which is good for my back. My children loves the sofa though. read more
