    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

    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.

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.

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.

It was one of my…read morefavorite restaurants growing up, so when I recently visited home in DFW, I had to go back. And wow, the taste is the exact same. The decor is the exact same. The people are the exact same. It was truly a feeling of nostalgia that's hard to describe. My favorite dish has always been, and still is, the bamboo shoots with pork. It is so fragrant, umami, and simply delicious. The west lake soup is also a classic done so well - pro tip to add white pepper to give it a little kick. The steamed pork belly was okay - sauce is flavorful (a touch salty) along with the preserved greens but the pork wasn't as tender as I had remembered it. The fish filets are fried to perfection, full of salt/pepper flavor, and pairs well with the jalapeños. If you don't like fish, you can get the same flavor with the pork version of this dish, which I also really like. The service can be a little slow because it's just 1 chef and 1 waitress who own the restaurant - same people that have run the show since I first came here probably almost 30 years ago! Incredible to see them still working so hard and serving delicious food. They'll never know how much their restaurant and food means to me!

Great flavor and the pork didn't have that weird pork taste some Asian places have. The crispy smoked duck pancake was awesome and worth the steeper price. I wasn't a fan of the sauce alone, but in the pancake was excellent. The eggroll was a decent eggroll and the duck sauce that came with it was the best sauce I've had with an eggroll. The lady working was sweet and was working her butt off with the 5 tables she had. Felt great to support a local business. The restaurant itself is out dated but the tables and utensils were clean. The atmosphere added to the experience and the background music was just perfection.
