The 38 Best Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Dumplings, egg foo young, dry-stirred beef, and a host of Chinese American favorites are on offer at this north Dallas restaurant (don’t sleep on the handmade noodles section). The restaurant celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2024, earning an award from Eater Dallas for being a local legend. Co-owner April Kao still makes trips to China annually to source ideas for the restaurant from the country’s regional cuisine, while her husband George is likely to be the person serving folks behind the bar or manning the host stand, if various family members don’t beat him to it. Best for: This simple dining room has a lot going on, from the dumpling-making station to the ceiling covered with red umbrellas. Head here for the fourth date and beyond, family meals, last-minute nights out without a reservation, and friend catch-ups." - Courtney E. Smith
