yummy chinese bbq restaurant with a few outlets around town. roast duck and roast pork is a must. i'm not a big fan of their char siew. the wontons are handmade.

affordable, hong kong style chinese restaurant known for its hanging barbeque counter of roast pork, bbq pork, roast chicken, peking duck and other more “eccentric” cuts. come here for the noodle soup and delicious roasted meats. don’t come looking for general tso’s chicken. cash only

sight: mini strip mall, unassuming entrance, ambiance is better for lunch than a proper sit down dinner.

sound: busy for a saturday afternoon with a large asian population of diners.….waitstaff speaks very little english so be prepared to point.

smell: chinese 5 spice. yum.

touch: no sticky tables, (mostly) clean.

taste:

shrimp wonton soup- plump, juicy wontons served in a clear and tasty broth with accents of chopped green onion. serving serves 2 comfortably. you can order with noodles as well.

roast pork- crispy roast pork that was well seasoned and delicious. generous portion and enough for 2 people. chunks of fresh cut pork with crispy, yummy skin. amazingly not greasy. don’t get this confused with bbq pork (char siu) which is roasted in a sticky, red sauce which is also delicious here too.

rice- heaping serving, complimentary served hot and fresh.

when you first walk in, there is poultry hanging in the window which is a major turn off! the food was just ok, a bit greasy. the service was disappointing as well, don't know if its language barrier, but just plain rude

not good customer service. this restaurant is not friend to customers. i do not get to place an order. i went in to a order pound of bbq pork. the cashier was a female who keep asking the red pork. i said yes three times. than she quote a price of $9.95, but i said the price is showing $6.95. so i said you, forget it, you are trying to sell me the bbq pork at $9.95 when the sign is displaying $6.95. no thanks, i can take my business somewhere else. be ware, you will be treated like you do not know how to read english writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'll be going back to the foot masseuse next door. richardson, tx is home to some of the arguably best chinese food outside of the countries more famous "china towns." and although the types of cuisine in this area are mainly ethnic, there's as many restaurants per block as uptown dallas, second only to the astonishing number of foot massage and acupuncture spas. but with options comes competition, including the well known kirin court, just a few steps down the street, and this establishment didn't measure up in either service or food.
entering the restaurant is like walking in half-way through your family's huge thanksgiving dinner- chaotic, loud, babies crying, more people at the table than actual spots, napkins on the floor, you get the picture.
there seems to be some discrepancy among the service offered to american verses asian patriots, this is due in part to the fact that the restaurant is set-up to accommodate non-english speaking customers, which is commendable, since it's goal is to serve a large, non-english speaking community in this area. however, a smile is understood by all languages and there weren't any cast in our direction.
of the three dishes we ordered, none were notable. i'll take the blame there, goodness knows i had no idea what to order and there's only a few hundred items on the menu haha. but, with a more approachable waitress i could have at least asked for some suggestions.

best roast duck in town. nice little place located in a strip center on belt line /greenville. i had try the roast duck, the skin is crispy and the duck meat is tender with a good roast tasty. also i had the house crispy noodle (very crispy needle with mixed veggie and some shrimp, pork, chicken and sfresh squid in a tasty brown sauce). also, try the hotpot too.

great stuff. it was a bit concerning upon arrival- not sure we would get into this place at 7:30 on a friday night. it is smaller than it appears in the photos, and it was busy, with lots of people waiting for tables. nevertheless, it only took about 10 minutes and we had a small 4 top for 4 not so small american diners. it was worth waiting for! the wanton soup with shrimp came out first, a nice large bowl with about 16 "dumplings"- very tasty. next the orange chicken and shrimp w/garlic sauce. i was into the orange chicken, large chicken pieces, caramelized chewy orange peel, tasty sauce and broccoli. not so much for the garlic shrimp- as there were far too many celery pieces, and not enough shrimp. well, you cant win them all. this was followed by the bbq pork and crispy duck combo. wow! of course, you have to work around the bones in the duck, but it is so worth it. service was good- maybe a tad slow but we were in no hurry. we brought our own wine- and not a good one for this meal- but not having to buy drinks, the meal was less than $10 each for four people. i was shocked! i will be back to try more as soon as i am able.

best chinese. as a well-traveled chinese/vietnamese american, i must say this is my favorite restaurant on the planet. authentic flavors, perfectly created dishes, my family has been going to this very location for over twenty years. after being remodeled a few years ago, this location still remains relatively unchanged, operated by the same family and staff for a very long time. the restaurant is clean and stylish, very approachable for non-asian newbies.

it's cash only, don't forget!

good & cheap but msg overload. very authentic. they put too much msg in all their dishes. the skill of the chef is very good, but they cook with too much oil and msg. bbq and marinated meats are okay.
