Yao Fuzi Cuisine

My absolute favorite place! The Chinese food is incredible - salt and pepper shrimp, tempura halibut, blue crab and cheese wontons for appetizers - pepper steak and black pepper beef. But the last Sunday of the month there is prime rib and then an off menu steak selection. Let me tell you about the ribeye! Best steak and best kept secret in DFW. Give it a try! Incredible staff, great atmosphere, food with flavor and family owned.

If you know… you know. Yao Fuzi Cuisine in Plano is one of those hidden gems that feels like a true neighborhood staple. Tucked away in a strip center off Park Road — while most restaurants fight for attention on Preston or the main stretch — this Asian masterpiece quietly delivers some of the best food around. The soup dumplings are absolutely incredible. They take a little time to prepare, but trust me… they are 100% worth the wait. Our go-to favorites include the Singapore noodles, crispy beef, beef with black pepper, and the Fuzi fried rice — all consistently excellent. What really makes this place special is Chris Yao. He’s often out greeting guests, making everyone feel welcome, and on select days he even rolls out a special steak menu when he’s behind the grill. And if you appreciate great wine, you’re in for a treat — he also runs the wine shop next door, so the wine list rivals some of the best steakhouses in town. You’ll find vintages and wineries that are truly impressive. The bar is small but inviting, and the bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help you find something perfect. If you need a reservation, ask for Holly — she’ll take great care of you.

Wanted to try this place for the longest time and finally made it. Maybe it was an off day for the chef or maybe it was what we ordered. It just was not up to standards of a higher class Chinese restaurant. Prices were high, dishes were lackluster and portions were small. The twice cooked pork with buns was something we could not finish. Pork was sliced too thick with not much flavor. 5spice ribs were oily and tasted like it was sitting around for a while and the tofu in the mapo tofu was still cool instead of hot

We wanted to try this place after seeing it on Yelp! We ordered a few appetizers and a noodle dish! “Xiao Long Bao" Soup Dumpling - the skin was too thick and not much taste! Yao Fuzi Spring Roll - Marinated shredded chicken and mixed vegetables served with honey citrus dipping sauce. (Didn’t taste any chicken in the roll) Chicken Lettuce Wrap - the filling was too salty! Salt and Pepper Shrimp - this was the best out of all the dishes we had! Yaki Udon -Japanese udon noodles stir-fried with onions, bean sprouts, and carrots, with shrimp (the sauce was really salty) The waitress was not too friendly! The ambiance was noisy and really dark inside the dining area!

Fantastic meal at Yao Fuzi in Plano! We had such a great dining experience—from the flavorful food to the excellent service. The jalapeño chicken was packed with heat and flavor, while the Kung Pao chicken was perfectly savory with just the right amount of spice and crunch. The spring rolls were crispy and fresh, and paired beautifully with the dipping sauces. To top it off, we enjoyed a glass (or two) of a smooth 2021 FZI Pinot Noir—great wine selection! The staff was friendly and attentive, making the evening even better. Highly recommend if you’re looking for elevated Chinese cuisine in Plano! Reservations highly recommended.
