Eden Bistro, Southlake, TX

NoW Closed Located on the main drag in Southlake, TX amongst many good restaurants, eateries, and pubs.
It has changed hands at least 2 times that I know of, and the present owners really go out of the way to make sure you are well fed and happy.

Many vegetarian choices and vegan ones to - you will be very pleased.

My favorite is the 'Summer Rolls' every one calls them something different. Here they are fresh salads in un-fried transparent wrap. A good way to get your salad, with peanut sauce that will please your stomach not kill you.

The Hunan chicken or veggie has good sauce and may be ordered in any heat style you prefer.
I liked the veggie version of the Thai spicy flat noodles in medium heat.

Nice white table clothes, a good bar, very clean decor.

New New Buffet, Addison, TX

A family buffet - if you are looking for a happy eatery this is it. On a Friday eve it was $9.95 + drink with crab legs and fresh oysters, along with all the rest of their goodies.
We find that the fried dishes like the breaded yams are not greasy. The orange beef and chicken were quite good. Everything looked and tasted fresh. Even the small fresh made cream puffs for desert, and the coconut macaroons were moist .

Vegetarians would have a tough time here, only a few choices and the temptation is strong.

We haven't found a better buffet yet, but have found several not worth driving to.
The place was about 3/4 full at 8 PM. There were kids around of all nationalities with their parants, and I don't especially like kids - noisy and running around. I found them cute and fine this night.

No MSG that I felt| the food is clean, no blurry eyes | no upset stomachs

Hong Kong Royal, Carrollton, TX

Colin's Sun returns dinner...

Wow I have never been to Hong Kong Royal when for 20 years it rested on Richardson's soil in TX.
It moved several times after a leaking ceiling caused a one month remodel forced by the land lord - and he charged rent anyway.

Now the location for a year and 1/2 is on the corner S E of Josey and Frankfort in Carrollton, TX in the old Joan Fabrics - very nice, simple, clean, atmosphere.

Susan and I were the only patrons. Susan had suggested we visit the restaurant for Chinese New Year's Day 15 Celebration yesterday. That is when the internet informed us of the change in venue.

Lots of white with red threaded decor, simple tables, and I loved the Dim Sum.
we ate 3 plates each - sharing all of them, naturally.
I liked the shrimp on green pepper with a black bean sauce. Susan felt this was ok, but preferred the shrimp and pork dumplings. They looked like little empanadas. The concern was they were prepared and microwaved - maybe - I don't know see rq's below.

The waitress, relaying their history of the moves, mentioned that on the weekends, at lunch time, a cart full of dim sum, passes by your table as it circulates the customers. Just reach out and grab some tasty morsels.

The prices on the whole, an vast menu.

Hunan Dynasty - Valley Ranch

In Irving, North of I 635 on McAthure, just as you start down the hill to cowboy practice heaven.
Nice North side patio with heaters, and a back room over looking the NE quadrant to the horizon.
Artistic wood carving relief pieces decorate the walls.

Pleasant friendly waitstaff, not stuffy, not professional, a bit casual yet efficient.
Lunch specials filling and well prepared, tasty too.
Many Vegetarian dishes to choose from.
Under $10 each with a drink for lunch.
Clean Food.
California rolls we had are very good.
Many sushi dishes on the menu.

May Dragon ~ Addison, TX

May Dragon on Beltline road in Addison, TX is owned by the Mayer himself.
My favorite dish is a roasted duck with a seafood sauce topping.
now for $20. As you enter, there pictures of the artful dishes on the wall, looking as an art gallery.

We started with a Sizzling rice shrimp soup with snow peas, water chestnuts, and more. I don't like shrimp much - however this was really tasty.
While there are many vegetarian choices we also selected the House combination dish. While it was very good, the duck would have a better choice for tonight, as this dish was a plated version of the soup.
Fun, Fun, Fun this was the 2nd to last day of Chinese New Year; we had two dragons dancing around the tables to the intricate drum beat of a local Martial arts studio. These dragons blinked their eyes, flapped their ears, wagged their tails, stooped down to floor, tickled you hair with their beards, touched the ceilings as the rose to their stretched height. We had little red envelops to put money gifts in to feed the dragons. They looked happy.

A visiting friend of the mayors from San Francisco, dressed in a beautifully embroidered teal Chinese dress, danced for us with 100 year old bamboo 8 inch strips, (handed down from her Grandmother,) used like maracas. She even taught us some Chinese. (Better than Italian in the loo !)

a wonderful time, wonderful food, cordial service.
