(From December 2009) On any given day, this efficient, popular spot is serving up the tastiest and most authentic Asian food in McAllen. Portions are large and the ingredients are fresh, as evidenced by the large tanks aswim with lobster and crab. The menu is quite extensive, so let us recommend the shrimp with lemongrass, served in a spicy coconut milk, and the chicken with asparagus; both entrées come with a fried pork wonton, rice, and soup. Beer & wine.

Chinese

 

(From December 2009) Dumpling bars, now all the rage, are culinary showmanship at this Preston Royal favorite. Watching the painstaking preparation of these little jewels reveals what a work of art they are. We tried the sampler (vegetable, shrimp, chicken, and pork); they were as good as our bowl of thick, ropy udon noodles stir-fried with cabbage, carrots, and sprouts (we added pork for a little more heft). Crab and cheese wontons were a little sweet, but the wonton soup was ambrosial. Black and red decor with small touches of gold and great black and white photos make for a striking atmosphere. Bar.
