Yao Fuzi Cuisine - Plano, Texas

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.

I finally got a chance to check out this place. The food was excellent, but it was missing seasoning. The ambiance was very romantic for a Chinese place. Definitely date night vibes.

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!!

I’ve been years ago and remembered it being a great experience. So I was excited to try it again. I TRIED to go on a Saturday at 10p when the sign on the door and online said they closed at 11p. I walked in and the hostess said “let me see if the kitchen is still open”. Minutes later comes back and says the kitchen was closed. I said “I thought you guys closed at 11?” She said the dining room stays open til 11. But the kitchen closes at 10. Very odd. I sat in my car to try to find another restaurant and within 5 min about 7 employees left. So I’m not entirely sure, but it just seemed as though they didn’t want business. They just wanted to go home. Which is understandable but at least change your hours if that’s the case. Very mis leading

Searched for soup dumplings on Maps and found this place! We noticed it had a cooler night vibe on the inside and they blast the A/C so it was freezing for us (Were on the warmer side).

Server did not come to us often so there was a while before they came back to us. However, the food came quickly after and this was a weekday dinner where the restaurant was almost full!

Food tasted good, but the prices were a bit high for what we felt. I would still recommend to try it out but maybe a group/family style could be better!

Hello all, we found this place on Google maps. Thought we'd give it a try. Wife and I came here for lunch and received a great experience. We were greeted before the host guided us to our table. We both ordered lunch portions. We got the General Yao's Chicken and The Orange Beef. Flavor and presentation was on point. The decorations inside will take you to China without a plane ticket. Nice lunch getaway other than some burgers and fries for a change.

We went here for our anniversary last night and ordered several items but for the main course we ordered the Crispy Beef. This is by far the BEST crispy beef we have ever had!! The flavors are exceptional!! The steamed dumplings were phenomenal as well as all the other dishes we ordered and the drinks!! You will definitely not be disappointed! The environment, owner and staff were so wonderful as well and I couldn’t think of a better date night place located in the heart of Plano, TX.

Service was spot on. Food options/quality was above average. I was with a lunch group of 8 that ordered family style. Missed some photos, but sharing some of what we had. Would for sure go back.
