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.

Service was horrible. Food was extra salty. Waited for water for so long that the food was getting more disgusting the longer I waited.

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.

Love bamboo house! This is one of my favorite places to come whenever I'm craving Peking Duck. Not…read moreonly do you get the duck with the perfectly done crispy skin in a cute dish shaped like a duck, but you also get the rest of the duck in a bone broth soup. 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. Come with a small group for family style while enjoying the intimate environment and good food! There's always plenty of parking and it's perfectly located right off the freeway.

Of course we were here for the Peking Duck. Usually the half duck comes with 10 pieces of skins but…read morethis time we only got 8. It's possible that we may have had a couple stick together. 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.

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.
