My fiancé and I came here last night, and we both agreed that this is the best Chinese food in the DFW area. Our server was so attentive, and our food came out in a timely manner. It was absolutely delicious and flavorful. We will definitely be coming back.

Absolutely fantastic. Sesame chicken is AMAZING, and chicken fried rice is so so so delicious. Fried rice comes only as a whole dish itself but is so worth it! Their to go box for the sesame chicken had holes on the top so it keeps the food from getting soggy as you drive home!! 15/10

I love the food here. I think the service is great too. The crispy orange beef is great. The other hidden gem in the menu is the crispy sweet and sour fish. It’s a small place in central Richardson and the food is delicious. They are great for take out because they are super fast and the order is always correct.

My most favorite Chinese restaurant in Texas. More authentic than most places. The owners are wonderful! The orange beef and honey chicken are decadent choices with so much flavor! Many healthy options too. Bring a the whole family and sit at a big table with a ‘lazy Susan’ and order a feast, great place for big dinners.

They only got 3 stars on atmosphere because it IS one of those hole in the wall restaurants but MAN is that food good!!! Had the beef with scallions and their beef fried rice…super tasty!! The lady running the whole restaurant by herself was still very friendly and welcoming despite her workload. Authentic Chinese menu items I wasn’t brave enough to try this time but hopefully will work up the courage in the future since the first go around was amazing. If you haven’t tried this place yet I guarantee you won’t be disappointed if you do.

You have to look past the appearance of this place to realize the tasty menu. Pork intestine soup quite nice with big rings of chitterlings and bitter vegetables. Steamed pork belly a mountain of wide and thick slices in a sauce of preserved vegetables. So nice. Soy sauce tofu also good.

Quite possibly the Chinese food I have had. I ordered Orange Chicken and Sweet & Sour. The chicken itself was mostly breading as well as appearing to be old. Chose this place based on other reviews. I wish I could agree with them but I cannot.

It truly feels like you are eating dinner at someone’s grandma’s house You walk in and there is a whole forest of dieffenbachias. Floor to ceiling dieffenbachias. Peacock painting on the wall and retro wall paper, tables smooshed together, and pink vinyl booths. It’s so cute. The food is also delicious. We had the honey chicken (kind of like sesame chicken) and pork lo mein. So good and we took a bunch home.
