One of our fave spots for delicious home-style Chinese food in the Plano area. Our favorite staples…read moreare on the menu (fish fragrant eggplant, green beans, snow pea shoots, cumin lamb, salt and pepper fish, spicy cod fillet, laziji) as well as some less common items like the beef tendon spicy dry pot. Really hard to go wrong with any of the dishes here, so it's no wonder it's always busy when we go. Very easy to call ahead at less busy hours and make a reservation during peak meal times! Can't wait to come back again soon.

I have had the strangest dining experience here at this restaurant today. The food, most of it was…read moreamazing, the service, not so great. There was no wait to grab a table for lunch for me and my dining partner. The dining area was quite large, and they have two private dining rooms off to the side. The first struggle was they have no hard copy menu, as they request that you scan a QR code to see the menu on your wireless device. Some of us don't embrace technology and that is okay. To make up for the lack of hard copy menus, they offered to let us use their tablets to peruse the menu. The service itself was lackadaisical, although the food came out quickly, and steaming hot (yay!). It took forever to get water refills to the point that I got up and refilled our glasses myself. Also, no condiments on the table, so I also had to grab those. We started out with an order of the scallion pancake, which was tasty and abundant. Then we ordered two of the Chang's dumplings which were out of this world amazing! The dumplings were soft and the spicy sauce they were in was delectable! For our entrees, we ordered Deep Fried Chicken with Roasted Chilis, the Basil Eggplant, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, and an order of their Shrimp Fried Rice. The Deep Fried Chicken with Roasted Chilis arrived, and while the chicken itself was amazing, the plate was mostly roasted chilis and not enough chicken. I chose this dish having seen serveral other tables order, and their dishes were brimming with chicken. Our, not so much. The Basil Eggplant was incredible. The flavor and the crispy outside make this dish great!! The Salt and Pepper Shrimp was a disaster. Most Asian eateries that I have been to, the shrimp are ginormous, with a light batter, and one of my favorites. At Sichuan Folk, the shrimp were heavily battered, extremely greasy, and the shrimp themselves were tiny, evidenced after removing the super thick batter. Do not order this dish. The shrimp fried rice was an extremely enjoyable surprise. The texture of the rice was fantastic, and the amount of shrimp, peas, carrots and egg was generous. Definitely will order this again. The service is what really surpised me the most. We didn't feel welcome, as we had to ask several of the waitstaff for silverware, napkins, and bowls to mix our soy sauce and chili paste. Those Chang's dumplings and the Basil Eggplant, along with the Shrimp Fried Rice are enough to make us want to come back and give it another try, after researching the menu some more.

The restaurant is clean, modern, well lit, sanitary, the service is exemplary, and menu selection is quite extensive. My family all ordered the braised beef noodle soup and found it to be authentic taiwanese flavored. Cooked just right with a bit of spicyness to it, and garnished with delicious veggies. The food was not only tasty, but presented well in the bowls. Highly recommend as we had the perfect experience! Don't let the concept of an eatery inside a super market or food court fool you.

I think they kept the same decor and seating arrangement as the previous owner - still very spacious with lots of seating. It was pretty empty when we came by -- probably normal a couple of days after Thanksgiving. Pro tip: there's a section with only Chinese names, and that's where the better, more authentic dishes are. The "lunch special" side feels more Americanized. Food came out fast (about 10 minutes). My favorites were the litchi-shaped pork, 老酒蛏子, and the three-braised combo. The pork was very lean with great sweet and sour sauce. The 老酒蛏子 was fragrant, tender, and full of umami. The three-braised combo was braised just right and very flavorful; didn't need the extra sauce on the side. Only one person was working the floor (the boss lady), who was very chatty since it wasn't busy. Overall, a decent spot.

Beef he fen was a bit bland but the noodles were great, and the stir fried sticky rice was huge and pretty flavorful. There are peanuts though so beware if you're allergic! They were already out of charsiu buns and turnip cake for the day which was sad but I'd come back to try. Pastries are clearly home made, and the curry puff was very dark colored which was unusual but tasty. Value is excellent for the amount of food!

We dropped by on a weekend during lunch and browsed the menus of all the food stalls located inside and came across LJ Kitchen. After looking at the pictured menus and viewing the menu we decided to purchase some pan seared steamed pork and scallion buns along with a char su biscuit. Ordering was simple by placing an order on the kisok provided and typing in your phone number and name. The kiosk had pictures along with the food item and price. We found a table and sat down and within 10 minutes our food was ready. We started snapping pictures instantly before we dug in admiring this beautiful creation. The char su biscuit was hot and flaky releasing steam into the air. The char su was tender and flavorful with hints of 5 spice seasoning of cinnamon, star anise, cloves, fennel, and peppercorns bursting into your mouth when sinking your teeth into it. the pan seared buns were the star of the show with the top side being seared and the bottom part steamed filled with moist pork and scallion meatball inside. The dipping sauce was a soy base with vinegar and paired perfectly with the dish. Altogether we enjoyed coming here eating the delicious food and are excited for our next visit!
