    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!

    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.

    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.

    Really delicious and authentic Chinese food. The fish and mustard greens was so tasty and appetizing. Good to pair it with white rice. We had a green veggie dish that was tasty but it had too many stalks in it. I told our server and joked with her about it - she ended up discounting the dish for us. We ordered dim sum for the kids and fried rice - both were tasty. The service was good - they get super busy on the weekends. The place is a bit greasy and dirty - but the food is probably some of the most authentic that I've tasted in the Plano area. And I used to live near San Gabriel in Los Angeles so I know authentic tasting Chinese food.

    Shrimp Fun Rolls - Dim Sum
    Jessica S.

    Good dim sum/Chinese food to cure your hangover. The shrimp fun rolls were my favorite. Wish the shu mai were bigger and the pan fried noodles had more noodles. Will be ordering again nonetheless!

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

    J S Chen's Dim sum quality has been downsliding; not only are its offerings small in size, but tasteless as well. Will try Kirin, Zhang's, and/or TKS.

Our server was…read morewonderful--he was incredibly attentive and constantly made sure everything was to our liking. They are serious about the spiciness here! If you love heat, this is your place, though I'll probably stick to the milder broths next time. The broth was well-flavored and the meats were excellent quality. Compared to other hot pots, the vegetable selection is a bit more limited, and they offer a variety of paid drinks like milk tea and canned sodas. Pro Tip: Definitely save room for the Korean Shaved Ice. It's light, delicious, and way bigger than it looks in the photos--one was more than enough for me! We will definitely be back soon.

    I really have to say, since the change in management Squares has really stepped up their game…read moreoffering Wagyu meats and more exotic items. Including drinks and changing the seafood / freezer items was probably one of their best decision ever. While the interior layout remains mostly unchanged, prior to the change I was a little worried about their business because it seemed kind of slow after other new competition opened in the area but I'm happy to see them make changes for the better and thriving. Meat quality is excellent, service is friendly and now they include a homemade shaved ice dessert which is cool. The only unfortunate thing is that they've bumped up their "basic" menu quite a bit and kinda priced me out of what I would call a quick casual go-to meal. While I am happy they are doing well, it's just not a place that I can frequent anymore especially being that my wife doesn't eat that much anyway. Would have been nice to have a slightly lower tier option available as not everyone cares for Wagyu. Definitely still an authentic hot pot experience though!
