Haven't been here for a long time and finally went back today. Man it was great! It's in an unassuming strip mall but the food there is fresh and fast! Service was normal. Had to wait a little for lunch on a Sunday. Food itself was excellent. They have a good variety of fresh dim sum and authentic Chinese dishes. Everything was clearly fresh and hit the spot. We'll be back!

Pork chop

Food: 8/10 Pretty good authentic Chinese food. I like everything I order. Chicken feet (not pictured) are good as well

贵妃鸡

I've been coming here for years--it's my go-to for Chinese comfort food in Dallas. The restaurant isn't very big: a few larger round tables for bigger groups and some booths for smaller parties. It gets packed during peak hours, but service is usually solid (just be patient on weekends). They don't take reservations; it's first come, first served. Be patient but order fast so you don't get caught behind orders from a larger group. Dim-sum is available all day and is one of the best places in town. They also have two specials menus (one by the entrance, one near the kitchen), and there are always hidden gems on there. On this visit, we came around 5 p.m. on a Saturday. It was early enough that we were able to get seated right away. Ordered the 贵妃鸡, 咸鱼茄子煲, and a 圆蹄 from the specials menu. Everything was great--the chicken was tender and flavorful (don't worry about the pink color--it's fully cooked), the eggplant was rich and piping hot, and the pork knuckle was the star: super tender meat, melt-in-your-mouth skin and fat, perfect with rice. Note: The chicken is one of their more sought-after dishes (so if it's available, order it!). Note 2: Some of their dishes require pre-ordering, so call ahead and double check if you're planning for a big group or a special holiday meal.

Even my Chinese parents were impressed. The scallion chicken especially stood out. Service was pretty good until they got a little busy right when we were trying to get our check. It does seem like it gets pretty crowded on the weekends, so go early, especially if you have a large party.

We finally found a decent Chinese restaurant to go to! The flavor is very good except for a couple of dishes! The beef flat noodles was lacking the beef, not much flavor and the salt and pepper squid was over done! All the other dishes were just fine! We especially like the salt and pepper tofu (had a lot of flavor and texture, crispy on the outside and soft inside)! The service was quick too! The dishes all came pretty fast! We'll be back!

This casual Chinese spot serves up solid classics and tasty dim sum. The fish maw and crab soup was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. I loved it even on a hot summer day. The combination pan fried noodles were crispy on the edges with just the right amount of sauce. The shumai were big, juicy, and satisfying. Service was quick and friendly from start to finish. Just good food in a relaxed setting. I'll definitely be back.

Shrimp dumplings and chicken bbq buns

My husband found us TKS to try their dim sum. We loved trying the various dishes available. The dim sum menu is a bit small, but surely did not disappoint. We ordered the following dishes (many not pictured): 1) fried shrimp egg roll 2) shrimp dumplings (ha gao) 3) Chinese BBQ buns 4)spare ribs with black beans 5) steamed sticky rice with pork The five dishes were just enough for the both of us. Overall, the food was 3.5/4 stars. It was good, but missing my Chicago dim sum spots ;) Ambiance: 2.5/4 stars - not fancy or hip. A bit run down Service: 2.5/4 stars- average! They're not going to dote on you, but are available if you need them.

Little bit of everything :)

Great little Dim Sum place! Freshly made to order. Love the picture menu, easy to order! Been here twice and the second time was better (first time they had AC problems). The beef flat noodle was delicious! All the dim sum super fresh! Service was good as well! Its my new fav place for Dim Sum!

First time here, I never really even come to this intersection for food tbh. But I heard this was one of the few Dungeness crab fried rice places in the area. I got some good to go and so I believe the food would be better if I ate there. But here's what I got: 1. Crab fried rice - really good, on par w others 2. Bbq pork steam buns - pretty good, standard baos 3. Beef flat noodles - good, maybe lacked more beef 4. Lobster noodles - my least favorite, a little runny / oily Overall a good experience though and will probably try to eat at the restaurant.

How's the dim sum compared to Kirin or JS Chen?

I like TKs dimsum! Kirin Court is overrated and the wait is well over an hour.

This place has the most authentic peking roast duck in dfw, and their execution is also the best…read moreI've had. Can't get much closer to the actual traditional roast duck experience from beijing. The wrapper is handcrafted, thin, stretchy, and strong. Very rarely seen even in the entire US. They even give you a dish of sugar to dip the crispy duck skin with, which shows how much they care about passing down the tradition. Make sure to request shredded green onions which is a must for the duck. Each duck costs 68 dollars as of oct 2026, plus 10 dollars for the bone soup (very delicious). It sounds expensive but it's worth every penny. You can easily get scammed to pay over 100 dollars for roast duck in other restaurants, so this price is fair and honest. The order comes with 18 wrappers which is enough to serve three adults.

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.

We've been here many times over the years. The previous owner did a fantastic job and their food…read morewas great! We went last Saturday and noticed only two other tables were occupied at 12:30pm. That should have been our red flag. Normally this place is crazy busy by this time with a significant wait. The A/C was definitely not on. It was very warm in the restaurant. The staff was barely alive. Food had gone from fantastic to barely edible. The new owner came out to see how we were doing. We said something tasted off and it wasn't very good. She said it was all made fresh. She criticised the previous owner saying they didn't make their food fresh. She said this is Bejing style, not Cantonese style now. Well, I've been in the restaurant industry for 38 yrs. I can tell you...it wasn't fresh. The dim sum shrimp balls were super greasy and papery in texture. Their "football" pork filled dumplings were nasty and deflated. They tasted more like potatoes. Many of their dim sum dishes weren't available. Everything was terrible. Service was practically nonexistent. After waiting for quite a while for our dimsum, the owner came back to see how all was going. We told her the food hadn't come out and we just wanted to cancel it. She walked away and came back 20 mins later with the food we had cancelled. After we had already told her we didn't want it, she said she already cooked it and we couldn't return it. As we went to pay, I mentioned that we no longer recognize the restaurant we used to love. The ladies at the register said they hadn't been paid for over two months and the owner has been keeping their tips. So, I tipped them in cash. They obviously felt bad for the owner and sacrificed their wellbeing to help the restaurant survive. Well, they said they'd be surprised if the restaurant lasts another month or two. The owner obviously doesn't think she is the problem. So sad to see this happen to a previously great restaurant. I hope she figure out what is wrong and fixes it. So sad what has happened to this place.

I'd say it was pretty good overall, but there are definitely some issues that warrant attention on…read moretheir part if they want to be successful. I overheard one employee (maybe the manager) on the phone saying things are slow and it has been hard, which makes sense based on what I saw. It was what should have been a busy lunch day for them but my table was one of two there when we arrived, and the woman at the other table actually abandoned her water/sauces and left the restaurant before she ordered. My thinking with hot pot places is that you can either cater more to the Asian market or to the American market, but not effectively to both. I was at a different one last week that was very Asian oriented. I could not identify 90% of the items in the pot and they could tell me nothing about what sort of meat they use; they only had "beef" and "fatty beef" options for beef, but could not tell me what cut it was. It didn't taste like any beef I have ever had. There were a lot of tastes and textures I was not familiar with and didn't particularly like. That's just personal preference, not indicative of quality, but it's important to know that people who are not accustomed to those tastes and textures may not respond as well to them. That particular place, I would not return to. Chao's Beef Hotpot is much closer to the mark on catering to the American market. The menu makes sense. I know what meat I'm ordering. The ribeye looked nicely marbled. The $1 promotional beef plate was awesome. Food-wise, we were all satisfied. Where I think Chao's misses the mark is twofold: 1) Service -- The only person we interacted with in the restaurant was someone who spoke passable English but was difficult to understand. No problem at all with people speaking their own languages, but when you're having a new experience (which many American who wander into a hot pot place are), it's hard enough to understand what's going on even without a language barrier and having to strain a little to understand someone. They would benefit from having some staff who can communicate effortlessly with English-speaking clientele. There was also no explanation of how things work there and they have no literature or signage. It's like they just assume that everyone who goes in there knows what they are doing, which is not the case for most people. So I had to be the person who explained it to the other 3 people I was with. No one had any idea what all the different bowls and spoons are for or what the right etiquette is or why there was a metal thing in the pot. So many different sauces at the sauce bar: which ones mix well together or go with which foods? Pricing is my last gripe, though at this place with the promo it happens to be extremely reasonable and it's great that 4 people can share one pot, which is very economical. But I hate the idea of a la carte charges for sauces and vegetables. My favorite hot pot place in Richardson charges a fixed price per person for the stock and you have to select 1 protein so you're in for like $18/person, but you have unlimited sauces and vegetables. On an a la carte offering it seems nuts to pay $5 for a plate of cabbage or $5 for some mushrooms. And the assorted vegetables at Chao's for $8 is fine but includes a lot of stuff that was more spriggy than leafy and didn't feel like it made sense in a pot. Overall I think Chao's COULD become very successful, but they will need to work on the communication with customers and be more thoughtful about the customer experience. Remember that a lot of your target market is people who are in the surrounding offices or wandered over to the urgent care or saw it driving by and have no clue what they are doing here. Having a friendly face ready to greet them and explain how things work and help them have a good experience will go a long way. The fact that you had a customer in there just sitting there who ended up walking out before she ordered was a missed opportunity; who knows how many people she might have referred or brought back if she'd had a good experience. She may even have been a food critic or something.

The Peking duck with accoutrements wasn't any better. The veggies were limp as if they had been sitting out all morning uncovered. The pancakes were very dry and lukewarm. But they got progressively colder. Last third of the basket was ice cold. The duck, was not hot. It also wasn't freshly made. It had been sitting out. It didn't have the crispy snap skin should have. It was super greasy. And because it was cool that grease was just sitting on the skin like a second coating. I paid but ate nothing. I won't be back and don't recommend.
