    General Tso beef Not in menu but it seems they can make it.

    Excellent food. A bit pricey compared to other places, but worth the quality. Crunchy, plenty of sauce. Still good after a long drive home. Not spicy as I had asked for but still tasty.

    If I could rate NO STARS I WOULD! Ordered my food last night, great tasting however as I was eating leftovers for lunch I found this bug in my food! Typically not a grossed out person- but this is disgusting! Threw up all my food! Reporting!

    When we called at 9 pm to ask where our delivery was they said it would be ANOTHER 20 minutes.Alena then called us rude when we cancelled it

    THIS PLACE DESERVES NO STARS. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. They don't deserve your money. I can't believe the way we were just treated. Our food was supposed to be delivered 30 minutes ago. When we called to inquire about the delay and they said it wouldn't get to our house for another 20 minutes we decided to cancel. That's when the employee named Alena called us "RUDE" for cancelling the order and BLAMED US for not calling to check sooner. She literally said that -- and kept insisting it would still be delivered and we'd have to pay. Thank goodness for fraudulent claims on credit cards. I have never experienced something so unprofessional. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. We order delivery from Grub Hub all the time and if there's ever a delay it's never more than 20 minutes. I worked in the restaurant industry for 10 years -- calling customers rude and not taking responsibility for YOUR mistake is unacceptable. FUCK THIS PLACE.

    Orange beef on the side of it the caked on flour, that's not blood it's sweet and sour sauce.

    I looked all the reviews and they were spot on, this place is horrible. Fried rice juice rice and soy sauce , crab Rangoon tasted oniony and my orange beef had caked on flour and was very and the flour wasn't even cooked through. With small lumps of white rice through out my fried rice.

    Here is my chicken fried rice, no fried chicken, boiled pieces dumped on top no seasoning . Included are my puffs and ribs burnt

    How this place doesn't have 5 stars is beyond me. Our China-born & raised friend took us Sichuan…read morefor a food experience - and it did not disappoint. The ordering process was unique (scanning the QR code & ordering for the entire table). We ordered approximately 8 dishes, and not one single food item disappointed us. Every item was unique, full of flavor depth, spice, and ingredients we don't often get to experience in American-Chinese restaurants. I can't wait to go back for the dumplings, twice cooked pork, and lo mein. *I will say that I do have a severe/life threatening allergy to shellfish. My friends did have to speak mandarin to convey the allergy concern and ask about cross-contamination possibility on a few items. I'm not sure that without a fluent speaker I would have been able to confidently eat a few items. 10/10 will be back! Come with an empty tummy & maybe hold off if you have chapped lips! The food does have some kick on it, and it does NOT feel awesome to have that level of spice on chapped lips!

The spicy crispy chicken laziji and scallion pancakes were very bland. The fried pork belly with green onion used bacon instead of regular pork belly (not what I expected). The green beans and mapo tofu were good. The portions were big. I would come back again for sure, but some of the dishes need more seasoning.

The culinary experience was so over the top, I don't even know where to begin. IT.WAS.THAT.GREAT. It all started upon entering this smaller restaurant that has a peaceful ambiance, as we were cheerfully greeted by Jeanne, who knew we were arriving as our friend had called ahead. Snce we arrived a little early, and our friend was en route, we decided to try the scallion pancakes, with the Chengdu spicy dumplings and sesame bread which was enthusiastically recommended by Jeanne. The appetizers arrived and we all enjoyed them. The dumplings arrived in a spicy broth-like elixir that complemented the soft pillowy pockets of seasoned pork.The scallion pancakes were mediocre at best, but the sesame bread was amazing!! It had the perfect texture and savory flavor that was enjoyed by all. For our entrees, we ordered two dishes of the Stir Fried Shrimp with Yibin Chili and asparagus (extremely delicious), a spicy Clay Pot Fish, Beef and Napa Cabbage with spicy chili sauce (incredible spicy flavor!), Hot and Spicy Chicken (chunks of deep fried chicken, yum!!), Combination Fried Rice, and an order of the sauteed snow pea leaves. Everything arrived fresh and freshly prepared. Every entree we chose was exceptional! Our iced teas and ice waters were always refilled, and boy were we stuffed! I highly reccomend this restaurant if you're are looking for a more authentic Chinese dining expereince! Make sure to ask for Jeanne!

But the reviews were suspiciously glowing, so curiosity (and hunger) won. We pulled up and I took one look at the building: older, unremarkable, zero curb appeal. Classic "meh." Inside, several large round tables with lazy Susans, red tablecloths, and Chinese lanterns. They first sat us in a booth but I requested later on to be moved to a large round table since we ordered A LOT. But back to when we first sat in the booth - As a Chinese woman, the second I spotted the older seats with ripped upholstery, it hit me like a culinary prophecy: this place was going to serve me some incredible, authentic Chinese food. I don't know what it is, but there's an inverse law of Chinese restaurants: the less fancy the exterior (and the more the booth looks like it's survived several natural disasters), the better the food. Apparently they skip Instagram-worthy renovations and put the budget where it belongs--on the plate! This is now hands down in my top 3 favorite Chinese restaurant in North Dallas - I can even say it's on the very top. I haven't forgotten about the staff. They deserve 10 stars. Super nice!

    This place is getting 5 stars for food and service! I would say from the looks of it, you aren't…read moretalking fine dining, but, the meal said otherwise! We ate egg rolls, crab Rangoon, and soup, followed up by orange beef and beef fried rice. The crab Rangoon could have used more stuffings, but what was there was good. I thoroughly enjoyed the orange beef. The tenderness of the beef and the taste of the sauce was on point. Definitely don't pass on this one if you are craving Chinese food. Note: they do serve peanuts before the meal, so watch for that with allergies!
