They have a very vast menu and the prices are fair for the big servings that you get. I've been there 3 times and the food has been great!Just a note to help the business: It would be nice if they remodeled their restaurant to look like the Mission location. The current aesthetic looks very old and dingy.

Great food, almost terrible service. I'm going to try to keep this short. If you're looking for good service, don't bother, but if you can handle that then I highly suggest you try their Kung pro chicken. The front staff is very unfriendly. I get that sometimes there are long days, but this is every time I come in. I'm talked to like I'm a bother. And when my order gets messed up the apology I receive is very disingenuous. Also, if you're thinking about paying for extra things don't bother. I've paid for extra stuff and got only a little bit more of what I bought when I paid quite a bit extra. To keep this short, try the Kung pao chicken, but don't expect Great service.

This rates the worst Imitation Chinese restaurant I have seen. Food was bland, rice was dry and lumpy. We ordered sesame chicken, tough dry chicken tenders with a sauce dumped on top. I have never seen sesame chicken like this. Restaurant was far from the cleanest. Salt, pepper and soy sauce bottles hadn’t been wiped down in quite a while.

This is the 3rd time I’m at this place, food is good. But I have to say that I’m disappointed this time; it was my husband my children and I (2 adults; 2 kids) and as always in any restaurant we only order 2 drinks because my children never finish their drinks and some times we don’t even ask for refills. So we were peacefully eating and suddenly the waitress tells me very rude that she’s gonna have to charge me an extra drink because we were sharing the drinks and that we couldn’t do that. I told her no body told us anything and that we didn’t know about that; she didn’t have the manners to talk to us; we don’t even asked for refills on any of our 2 drinks and she still charged us for 3. If you as a restaurant are going to have this type of policy you should tell your customers since the beginning. This is the first time it happens to me in any restaurant.

This restaurant is clean and has excellent service. It might be a bit busy during lunch hour, but that's because they have a great lunch special which includes soup, rice and egg roll and of course main entree.Food is terrific.

Was looking for some decent Chinese food in McAllen. I found this place it had good reviews so off I went. I arrived there and was rudely greeted when I arrived. No hello or welcome? The waitress was snarky and had a attitude almost like she was doing me a favor. I kept my cool I did inquire about the lunch special and she replied it's over at 3pm I arrived there @ 10 mins after 3pm. That's fine rules are rules. Then I placed my order for chicken and broccoli and dumplings. She said with a straight face it will take 20 mins for the dumplings? That's fine I said and asked while I waiting if I could get some complimentary chips or noodles that most Chinese restaurants give out. She replied no I can place you a order for some etc. Just got fed up with the snarky attitude and horrid customer service. I just walked out.

I was invited to Dai Tung Chinese restaurant for lunch by a good friend. The restaurant is located on Nolana and 6th Street in the Nolana Tower plaza. It has been around for many years in the same location, where many businesses have come and gone. The interior is pretty much the same as it has been from the last time I went, some 15 years ago. The menu carries the same distinction of not having changed much over the years. The food lacks the modern wow factor that we are always looking for but it's not bad either. I had chicken with mushrooms and my friend had beef and broccoli. I also ordered egg rolls to go with my meal. Honestly, not alot of intense flavor with all bordering on bland, especially the fried rice. The portions are large and well worth the price. I would go again just to try some of the options that caught my eye and order steamed rice instead.

Oooof 10/10. I LOVE shrimp fried rice. Tried theirs about a week ago & I'm in love! Perfect place to pick up Chinese food when you're not in a buffet mood. The portion was perfect, they weren't stingy with their shrimp & the flavor was amazing!

Called to place an order and the lady was rude on the phone. Went to pick up order and realized at home that they didn't give me one item. I called and the lady stated that she would have it ready for pick up, said I needed to speak to cashier so she put the phone down. I waited on the line for a few minutes and then the phone was hung up. I called back three times and no answer. I drove over there and both stated that I had already stopped by to pick up the missing item. After I insisted that i didn't pick it up,she finally went to the back to get it. Took another 8 minutes or so and came back with the missing item. It was chaotic and too busy and I usually don't care if the food is good but that is not the case here. Sorry but I do not recommend.

Great food and friendly staff every single time! The portions are huge and you will enjoy every single bite. Try the Spicy and Tangy chicken, it's delicious!
