Kung Pao chicken expensive but not that good. You're supposed to roast the dried red chili peppers to release the heat. Sauce had too much cornstarch and wasn't very tasty, probably needed more sugar and soy sauce. And, there was only about 1/4 teaspoon of green onions. Service was OK but I had to keep requesting more rice. Atmosphere was very noisy, it was hard to hear my 97 year-old mom.

Fantastic meal at Yao Fuzi in Plano! We had such a great dining experience—from the flavorful food to the excellent service. The jalapeño chicken was packed with heat and flavor, while the Kung Pao chicken was perfectly savory with just the right amount of spice and crunch. The spring rolls were crispy and fresh, and paired beautifully with the dipping sauces. To top it off, we enjoyed a glass (or two) of a smooth 2021 FZI Pinot Noir—great wine selection! The staff was friendly and attentive, making the evening even better. Highly recommend if you’re looking for elevated Chinese cuisine in Plano!

Upscale Chinese food. Great soup dumplings, sesame chicken, and wok fried green beans. Generally, all of the food is delicious, and the service is always dependable. Top 5 Chinese restaurants in Plano!

My daughter was craving their miso soup last week. They close at 10pm, so we get there at 9:30. We are told that the chef had left. It didn’t make any sense, but we left. We show up tonight at 9:00 and we are told that the kitchen closes at 9:15, so we can’t order. It really doesn’t make any sense. Owner must have changed. It used to be Chris. Service and food have been great for 20 years. Not sure what is going on, but I know others have been complaining on the neighborhood apps as well.

Verdict: felt the place was too overpriced for they’re serving.
Here’s what we got: Apps: - Blue Crab and Cheese Wontons: very little blue crab and cheese. We could mainly taste the crispness of the wonton - Spicy Ahi Tuna with Asian Pear Summer Rolls: all we could taste here was lettuce and tuna and mainly the lettuce.
Entrees: - Crispy beef: good but not worth $34 - Fuzi prawn: way too sweet.
Side: - lo mein: For $9, I expected way more noodles than what we got. In fact, for that price, I would’ve expected the lo mein to include vegetables as well.
The restaurant itself was dimly lit and had thoughtful decor, but I don’t think that should be reasoning for higher pricing.
Our server was kind, but service overall was slow.

We had the rudest server you can imagine. She was in her 50s, short dark hair …so wish I had gotten her name. I was there for lunch with my son and daughter and we were all taken aback at her lack of professionalism and negative attitude. The food is good and the atmosphere pleasant. I live in the area and have enjoyed the restaurant in the past. However, her hateful attitude and general demeanor when the smallest request was given….could we please get an appetizer plate to share this dish …makes me decide we will never go back. Lunch for 3 was $155 with a couple glasses of wine. I’m a firm 20-25% tipper but I only tipped 15% so the kitchen staff wouldn’t be penalized for her rudeness. Maybe she’s the owner. If so, please keep her in the kitchen.

We have enjoyed this place throughout the years but not sure we will return. Food at today’s lunch was great, as always, but our service was actually unenjoyable. Each lady was rude and not open to answering our questions.

This was my very first visit to this establishment. PB has been here before several years ago and told me that it’s fancy and food was good. My hair was messy, bc it’s been raining and yucky and have been running errands since the morning. We were seated right away by a nice hostess lady. Our server(older Chinese woman with a short hair)was very short and abrupt kept coming back every few seconds to take our order when in fact I hadn’t had time to look over the menu. She was very impatient even after I told her this was my first time coming here. When we decided to order and I told her I wanted Za Jiang noodles, but didn’t want pork, she said pork was already in a sauce. I didnt even want to ask her if I could have it with different sauce with no meat, bc I knew she wasn’t even going to accommodate me. I told her PB wants a big bowl of egg drop soup and she said “we don’t do that!”. She said it’s small or medium and comes with a meal, so we got 2 medium and I gave him mine. We ordered shrimp and crab fried rice. My crab fried rice was decent, but PB’s shrimp fried rice was bland, 4 shrimp and lots of peas and carrots and he didn’t like it. He put soy sauce on his fried rice like the White guy from the movie, Joy Luck Club, but it still was bland. How do you mess up shrimp fried rice in this fancy, expensive Chinese eatery? The impatient lady didn’t serve us anymore and we got another one. She looked poisoned each time he asked for Coke. I got hot sauce from a nice male server and the hot oil was very hot! The only nice thing the female server did was to put my food in a container. No smile, nothing. I felt that those 2 female servers were very snobbish towards us from the beginning and I don’t appreciate to be treated in a such way, especially this is a so-called high end Chinese restaurant. I find their behavior to be very unprofessional and unpleasant. They were very unfriendly and unwelcome and I really didn’t enjoy the dining experience because of them. Besides that, I’m glad I got to experience how they treated us with snobbery, so we know not to return. We will continue to go to Zhang’s Asian Bistro Kitchen where we’re welcome, staff/owner are nice and food is excellent.

Ok so there are a million restaurants in Dallas, right? A good chunk of those are Asian restaurants too, right? WELL, if you haven’t been to Yao Fuzi and at minimum tried the soup dumplings stop what you’re doing right now, get in the car, and get yourself there. These things are literally injected with a magical soup broth that seems like a Wonton soup made in reverse order. You have to pop the entire dumpling in your mouth and the minute you pierce into it with your teeth the explosion of flavor leaves you with only two questions. Where is the next dumpling and did we order enough? Our table got three orders and I’m still not certain if that was enough! The rest of the meal was absolutely dynamite which included the Crushed Red Pepper Beef, Kung Pao Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice, Fuzi Prawns, and a Salmon Fried Rice. Literally, every dish was perfect! I got to try them all except for the Prawns (my no longer friend was not willing to share haha). It was and still is extremely hard to decide which dish was the best. They were all THAT good! What are you waiting for? Get to Yao Fuzi!!
