Yao Fuzi in Plano

[Kevin72]

Bill Addison wrote a review lamenting the lack of business this place gets, and he's right. Sparsely populated at lunch with everyone hoarding over to Blue Goose. At any rate, it's solid, solid food. Nice cocktail menu, too. Now I'm really torn what with Little Szichuan, 1st Chinese, and this place to choose from when the mood strikes.

We just ordered apps for a nice sampler lunch: the dumplings, spareribs, beef skewers, and crab puffs. Everything was remarkable. My wife's a sucker for crab puffs and these were a little different and much better quality than I've had most places. The dumplings were the standout: these are the kind Bourdain had on No Reservations when they went to Tibet. They have a little gelled consomme in them, then in the process of steaming, the consomme liquifies again so when you bite into them you get this squirt of soothing, savory soup.
