Prosper restaurant The Chinese Neighbor recently moved to 6801 Warren Pkwy #125 in Frisco. This unique spot combines Chinese favorites with an American spin thanks to the Chef Bob Tam’s upbringing in San Francisco. Signature dishes include a Dragon Dumpling Burger, Smoked Brisket Fried Rice and Flamin’ Hot Wontons.

Whether it’s because the restaurant’s dim sum menu is served all day, or because the dumplings are just that good, this restaurant is a longtime favorite of suburban dumpling enthusiasts, and it’s worth the drive to Plano.

Fans flock to Plano and Frisco’s Dumpling House for their shrimp and pork dumplings, among other Chinese favorite dishes.

The wontons and dumplings at Wu Wei Din Chinese Cuisine are very traditional. Fans of spicy food and soup dumplings have discovered this gem in Plano and are particularly fond of the spicy pork wontons and xiao long bao, or soup dumplings.

Once just a tiny walk-up window with rooftop seating, Monkey King Noodle Company grew to three locations before scaling back down to just one again, sticking to its Deep Ellum roots with a prime spot on Main Street. Inside, they serve hand-pulled Chinese noodles and addictive dumplings of the pork, soup, and vegetarian edamame variety.
