Chinese Restaurant

Nice gem hidden away in a small strip mall. Restaurant is not your typical Asian restaurant, but more of a hybrid hot pot style with special home style dishes run by a nice friendly couple. Restaurant is not that big and our group of 9 took up the entire dining area. Their food is home style cooking with simple creative ingredients without the excessive oil or savory taste found in a typical restaurant. Prices are cheap considering the high cost of living and the amount of food you get. The menu options are minimal, but so we went with the Chef’s recommendations (some were not on the menu) for most of our selection and the Chef did not disappoint. Unlike a typical big restaurant with multiple Chef’s, the dish came out one by one allowing you to enjoy dishes slowly without the next one getting cold. We started off with a few apetizers to include a hand made fried shrimp cake, cold cut pig ears, and their free range style chicken that came with some dipping sauces. Chicken was poached just right with good fresh taste and texture. Restaurant is more towards the spicy side so if spice it not your thing, inform the Chef. The pepper pork belly chicken soup is hearty and flavorful with a good dash of pepper (Asians believe this type of soup keeps the body warm). Their fried quail was excellent with good glistening color and not too dry. Salt and Pepper shrimp had good taste but instead of using peppers, it appears they use peppers and Sichuan pepper (numbing) for a non traditional taste. The Tofu and BBQ pork is a stable that goes well with rice and reminded us of the days where we had to quickly eat a hearty rice dish and get back to work. The fish came in a big bowl with some vegetables and had some soup (felt more like a casserole) For dessert, you won’t find any mango putting. We opted for the purple glutinous rice with coconut milk, and the peach gum with coconut milk. We found the purple glutinous rice more to our liking to round out this meal.

Nice set menu and the chicken is fresh and delicious. Will try the hot pot next time

Love the black pepper chicken

We dined in tonight and ordered a whole bunch of different dishes so we could try a wide variety. Everything was EXCELLENT. Our favorites were the Orange Chicken and the Sesame Chicken - both of which are listed as hot and spicy but were not at all. They had just the right kick to add flavor and interest. We also ordered the Egg Drop Soup, Cheese Wontons and Cashew Combo plate. All were very very good! We will definitely be eating here again.

Food was yummy 😋 our 2 year old loved the egg drop soup. If you get a chance check them out. Service was fast and fresh ingredients and lots of flavor! We ate inside the restaurant which was nice!

Fantastic to have lucky dragon open in arlington again!. Food was as good or better than at their prior location and much better parking. Super friendly staff, fast, and excellent food.

Good food good location.

10 dollars For a decent amount of food is good. They have Shredded pork with peppers, shredded prok with potatoes, sweet and sour ribs, and Mala Spicy Chicken tenders.

The staff was very friendly. The food was served in about the same portions as Panda Express but is better priced. The food was excellent. I'm glad to finally have a good Chinese restaurant to go eat at that isn't going to break the bank! I will be returning!

The food here is really really good. It's some of the best honey walnut shrimp that I've ever had. The mushroom chicken was also exceptionally flavorful. The chairs are not super comfortable but the food is so good it's worth going back.

We are thrilled to have a dumpling place in South Austin! We came for the soft opening and enjoyed each dish we ordered. Very kind and courteous staff. A great addition to the South Austin food scene!

What a great new spot!! So very good... A wonderful addition to the growing Asian variety in South Austin. Went for lunch and was surprised how filled the place was for the 1st week of opening. Guess the word spread fast! They have completely renovated the old Hao Hao restaurant. So bright and welcoming. They have a display window of the chef making dumplings🥟... Like they do over in Hong Kong. Our server was very friendly and was willing to find out answers for questions that she didn't know. They're not the fastest but that's okay. Dumplings are meant to be enjoyed and savored. The menu is impressive. I want to try everything and in time... I will! For our first trip, we had the the Wontons in Chili Oil.... Delicious, the Shu Mai.. Yummy... This was no Sysco Dim Sum, the Baby Bok Choy... Cooked to perfection and last but definitely not least, the Black Pepper Beef Udon was what took our lunch over the Top! Beef tender, noodles chewy in every way that is good and the black pepper just the right amount of spice. Welcome One Bite Dumpling... I look forward to many future meals here!!

Good Hong Kong style rice rolls. They accept credit card

Got the hot sesame noodles and they were very tasty!

Hot Dumpling replaced the former Good Time Cafe in Lake Forest. It's located in a small center at the corner of Bake Parkway and Trabuco Road, so parking can be hard to come by during peak hours. There is also an El Pollo Loco and an AYCE sushi restaurant located in this same plaza. We've had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant twice at the time of this review. I was not too impressed with the presentation of the Juicy Pork Dumpling and Wuhan Siu Mai, but the taste more than made up for the appearance. The pan-fried pork & chive dumplings were fabulous and I also tried their pan-fried pork buns on my follow-up visit, so I can say that their pan-fried dishes are def worth trying. The green onion pancakes, shrimp & pork wonton in chili oil, pan-fried pork dumplings and chongqing spicy chicken were also solid dishes. The biggest surprise for us was their Mapo Tofu dish which ranks up there with the best we've ever tasted. The only miss was the Spicy Beef Tendon appetizer. Service is friendly and attentive too, so I recommend a visit if you enjoy Chinese cuisine!

This place is so great! The food is delicious, the staff is super friendly. I ordered the juicy pork dumplings and beef noodle soup. I would absolutely recommend both. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more!

If you want a easy and tasty food go to "Mr. Liu Hot Pot", It's located in the food hall near the Columbus Circle. The plate with chicken was delicious, I was with my bf and we share a chicken plate. WAS SO GOOD! The service was good too, the gentleman asked if it was good, if we need anything else...the lemonade is spectacular! I highly recommend this place.

The beef malatang is amazing! The amount of beef was generous, and this is one of the only truly satisfying malatang broths I’ve had here in NYC. The variety of ingredients (vermicelli noodles, fuzhu/beancurd stick, cabbage, woodear mushroom) had all the ones I love too :) Also service was impeccable✨ I was debating whether to buy from this stall and the owner’s greetings and introduction to the menus won me over. All in all I feel like it was a great meal— definitely worth it’s value!
