Kitchen Master has quickly become a go-to spot for me, having visited twice within a week. Each time, I ordered the same items: Hot and Sour soup, boom boom shrimp, and Chicken Tofu fried rice. I must say, every dish exceeded my expectations.The standout aspect of Kitchen Master is its quick service. Despite the rush, the staff always manages to deliver orders promptly. However, there's a slight inconsistency with the Chicken Tofu fried rice. While it's generally good, I've noticed some variation in taste across visits.Price-wise, Kitchen Master offers reasonable rates for the quality of food and service provided. Despite the minor inconsistency with the fried rice, I'll definitely be returning for more delicious meals. Overall, Kitchen Master is a solid choice for a satisfying meal with quick service and friendly staff.

Stopped by for dinner here tonight with Mom at the suggestion of Yelp! Apparently, I have been living under a rock because this place has been here for four years. Made a reservation for a table for 4:45pm on 3/21/24 since I was not sure if it would be busy. Warm, inviting, and welcoming energy and space that gave me zen vibes right from the time we entered. Delightfully adorned to achieve an upscale, modern feel interspersed with and marked by Asian elements, we were promptly greeted and seated by the hostess - Faith - in a beautiful intimate dining setting, and transported to another realm. Before she seated us, she reconfirmed my eggplant and mushroom allergy. I always appreciate that (especially being first-time visitors) because it is clear that the kitchen is aware and takes it seriously. Wonderful first impression and that was just the beginning of our extraordinary culinary journey. I especially marveled at the bamboo steamer basket lights hanging from above and the wall dividers in the shape of dumplings. They truly lend an aesthetic value to the space. What a cute and creative idea. You even get to see them making the dumplings ? in action behind the partition. It’s really neat.Mia, our kind and attentive server arrived at our table within a minute and we ordered Hot Jasmine Tea to start. Fragrant, full-bodied, and accented by floral notes, it was the ideal accompaniment to the remainder of our meal. Mia was extremely patient with us as we told her it was our first visit and she suggested different things we could order.We ordered a total of six dishes to share. Perfect portions at reasonable prices.All dishes exceptional.Mia timed the arrival of dishes perfectly.She even told me to let her know when I was ready and to take my time so she could start on the Custard Bun Dessert Order.1.) 1 order of Scallion Pancake 5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Perfect flaky texture with just the right intensity of flavor and chew. Small/ideal portion - enough for two people to share.2.) 1 order of Chili Sauce Noodles 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I was really looking forward to trying this particular dish and it definitely did not disappoint! There’s just something about the combination of the flavor and spice of the noodles, bok choy, and the scallions doing a little dance on your palate - simply magical!3.) 1 order of Basil Chicken 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I have never thought of pairing basil with chicken, but as we were savoring each bite, it lent a lovely sesame, ginger, and garlic flavor and left me wanting more. I would come here again just to eat this dish. It comes with your choice of white, brown, or fried rice.4.) 1 order of Shrimp Shumai 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Comes with three dumplings per order. Arrived at the table hot and flavorful with just the right amount of filling.5.) 1 order of Pork Soup Dumplings 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Comes with six dumplings per order. Just the right amount of liquid and protein - complete with dumpling sauce for dipping. Divine in every sense of the word!6.) 1 order of Custard Buns 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A perfect way to end a meal. The combination of the mellow, subtle, not-too-sweet custard flavor and soft texture and chew of the buns was perfect. My favorite dish of the night. Absolutely, without a doubt, the star of the show.Mia gave us a 15% discount card good for our next visit. Will definitely return for lunch another day or try other dinner menu items on our next visit. Looks like we found our new place. Faith and Mia were the true standouts during our first visit. We will be regulars here going forward. Thank you and we will see you again soon!

I enjoy hand made dumplings and noodles as much as the next guy, but damn… these were amazingly good!Overall, service was spot on during dinner hours, and the staff constantly checked on our table.The food… oh my the food… it was probably some of the best noodles and dumplings I have had in the North Texas area.The soup dumplings were great. I would say they could probably use a little more broth inside of them, but that would have been my only complaint. They were delicious on their own, and tasted even better when dipped into a small dish of black vinegar and fresh ginger slices.I had the chili sauce noodles. I love a simple noodle dish like this and I don’t even mind that it isn’t served with a meat. Honestly, some pork belly would be great here, but I thoroughly enjoyed this plate as it was, noodles, bok choy, and plenty of tasty chili sauce in the bottom.The house wontons were simple and delicately tasty. We had the pork, but you have the option for a vegetable only wonton.The pan fried buns were also a very simple take on a pork bao but they were coated with sesame seeds on the bottom and fried til golden brown and crispy. No burnt buns here! Would order again!The minced pork noodles, although a bit monotone on the flavor, were still very delicious. The flavor here was really good, but it’s kinda like a good song with only a few musical notes. We would have liked a bit more complexity in the flavor but that’s a personal taste issue and not a fault on Kitchen Masters.Best egg drop soup I have tasted in a long time as well. It was fantastically executed and way better than any other run of the mill soup. It reminded us of the delicious soups we enjoyed while visiting Chinatown in LA many years ago. It brought back fond memories of recipes passed down from past generations and a general love for good Chinese cuisine.Even the chilled cucumber salad was worth the price. Cucumbers marinated in a sweet vinegar sauce with slices of garlic and red pepper. It was a perfect compliment to the meal as a whole and added that sweet and sour profile to the palate.Overall, I can’t wait to come back here! I want to try more foods from the menu and see what else they have to offer! No eaters remorse here in any sense of the word.

Another great meal at Kitchen Master. The food is always fresh and delicious, served piping hot, and great portions. Service was also excellent tonight! Mia was very attentive and paced the timing for everything to come out at just the right moment, it is greatly appreciated. I look forward to coming back again soon.

I didn’t want to give it a 1 star because I feel like that is the absolute worst but I won’t ever order from here again. The dumplings were overly puffy with a tiny bit of meat in the middle. The sesame chicken was bland and awful. The batter for the chicken was chewy and thick and almost tasted undercooked. I tasted the other order of beef and it was also lacking in taste. None of it tasted Asian. $50 down the drain. I didn’t want to finish eating anything.

Yeah, good place. Me and my friends went for Lunar New Year, and the food was AMAZING! We ordered like half the menu and we (a party of 8) were able to have our fill of food trying a little of everything for like 5o bucks I think. Definitely recommend and Definitely recommend making a reservation. This place is popular and for good reason! I don't think you can go wrong with any if the menu items, but definitely get the dumplings!
Best pad Thai I've had in years. Dumplings lived up to the reputation. All around good vibes and great food.

Everything that they serve that's Chinese-American is average or sometimes bad and everything that's just Chinese, though expensive, is always excellent. If you just need a good tasting meal with all the flavor and texture you dream of and don't mind like $3 more for your dish this is the best Asian food in the area BY FAR including all the satellite places around Ranch 99 and the Target plazas. Too expensive to eat everyday but this is my go to restaurant for a solid reliable pick me up.

Okay, this place was way better than I expected.The food was pretty good in terms of taste, but I have a few nitpicky things. Got pork soup dumplings, house wontons in chili oil, crab rangoons, pan fried pork bao, and beef noodle soup.The pork soup dumplings weren't as juicy as I would like, it was more solid ball of ground pork meat than soup.The crab rangoons are my guilty pleasure at places and no complaints here.The house wontons were good, I finished all of them.The pan fried pork bao were kind of oily and the taste was alright.The beef noodle soup was more oily than I'd like but taste was good.
