Mahjong Chinese Kitchen 4025 Preston Road, Plano, TX 75093

"I came here bc lots of ppl on Facebook recommended this place as one of the best authentic Chinese food here. Unfortunately, this is quite Americanized. The service was great and the ambiance I adored! But for example, the san bei chicken did not taste or even look like the one I grew up with. The sauces were all sweeter and thicker, and the ones that said spicy had zero heat. The soup dumplings and famous chicken dumplings were good. They were dim sum size though, which I didn’t expect and they only give you four. Being that we’re in Plano with a large Asian population, it was interesting to me that the entire Asian restaurant was packed, and yet I was the only Asian person eating there at the time. They have Dan Dan Noodles on the menu, but instead of calling it by that name, they Americanized it to “garlic sesame noodles.” To me, this is like if we changed the name fajitas to “skillet beef with onions and peppers.” The restaurant seems to be doing awesome, and I love that for the people who work there! And I’m glad there’s a local restaurant for people who want Americanized Chinese food. But as far as authentic Chinese food recommendations, this is far from it."

"So it was so delicious that I forgot to take pictures! We had the all-in fried rice, edamame, chicken lettuce wraps, orange chicken and white rice! Soooooo delicious. The orange chicken is NOT Panda Express orange chicken, you can taste the orange rind and delicious sauce they put on the lightly fried white meat chicken. It was so good! All of it was delicious!! I will go back again and try more for sure. They take digital payments and accept all cards as well. Great service once it got going and the patio was warm even in November. Definitely worth going!"

"Solid 4.5 stars. Slight deduct due to one or two dishes that were a miss and others where portion size was a tad light. The Stir Fried Calamari ($11) was a miss as it was both small in size and mediocre in flavor. Skip. The Famous Szechuan Chicken Dumpling ($9) was average. Sauce was decent but six small dumplings left us feeling underwhelmed. "Xiao Long Bao" orders (2 @ $9) were very good but on the small side and thus light on the wonderful soup that makes these so desirable. Definitely order one if not two orders. Mah-Jong Orange Beef ($21) is a must! Flavor, texture, and plating were all spot on. The Mushroom Trio Clay Pot ($18), San Bei Chicken Clay Pot ($20), Szechuan Ma Po Tofu Clay Pot ($18) were a perfect 3 for 3. The Wok-Fried Beef Flat Noodle ($16) was average. It would've benefitted from stronger flavors though its texture was quite nice. The Garlic Sesame Noodle ($9) aka "Dan Dan Noodles" were good as the peanut butter flavor and fresh thinly sliced cucumbers blended just right. Service was stellar as their team kept all drinks filled and the table bussed, pre-bussed the entire service. All-in with tip ran us $180 for the Mother's Day luncheon which though stout was well worth everyone happy with the meal we had and time spent together."

"We came here to celebrate Chinese New Year have a nice dinner since it is very close to where we moved recently. We started with the Hong Kong Style Wonton Soup. I had the Stir-Fried Chicken Breast with Broccoli, and my wife had the San Bei Shrimp and Broccoli. While there were not many people there, we enjoyed our dinner. Very comfortable atmosphere and the service was good, but the food was a little bland, not quite what we expected from a Chinese restaurant."
