The BEST!

by mkm1923

I have been going to Jeng Chi for almost 10 years now. The service is eh but the food makes up for it. The place is always packed and I have never ordered anything I didn't like. This is not a Dim Sum restaruant. That is why the other review was bad. This is the best food traditional food in town!

• Pros: The DUMPLINGS!
• Cons: Service

It's dumplings galore at this Richardson spot known for Dim Sum.

In Short
Fast and affordable are the two calling cards of Jeng Chi in Richardson's Chinatown. The non-descript strip mall boutique is best suited for take-out and to go orders from a diverse selection of traditional Chinese. But it's the dumplings at Jeng Chi that stand out. The Jiaozi (dumplings), zhengjiao (steamed dumplings) and shuijao (boiled dumplings) are the most popular items on the menu while the fried potstickers and green onion pancakes will also do the trick.

Avoid everything but the dumplings

by azianbruiser

I came here thinking I was going to have the traditional dim sum considering it was the audience winnder for the best dim sum in dallas. FYI: dim sum is not served here!! It's just known for dumplings and everything else we ordered was mediocre, if not bad chinese food. I'm Asian, so I like eating authentic Asian food, and the dumplings are not wonderful or fantastic. They were ok!!! Note: this is not your traditional dim sum place

• Pros: dumplings okay
• Cons: service bad & not enough variety of dim sum.misleading!

Dumplings Galore

by donnaaries

Located in the Chinatown strip mall off of Greenville Ave in Richardson, Jeng Chi is an extremely popular, no frills spot due to its low prices and quick service. Though the menu offers a diverse selection of traditional Chinese cuisine (and Ive had several notable Szechuan style dishes here), usually people order dumplings. On the last visit, We decided on a steamer of little juicy buns (xiaolongbao), potstickers (pan fried dumplings), boiled chicken and zucchini dumplings, green onion pancakes, and noodles topped with ground pork sauce (zha jiang mian).

Most of the items were above average to excellent (with the exception of the pan fried dumplings, which may have been just especially bad on my visit). But like I said before, the menu is large and I cant wait to try some of the other items.

• Pros: Cheap

Dumplings dumpling dumplings!

Dumplings; you have to order at least one. They have frozen ones that you can take home to boil.

In the winter, order the vegetarian green noodles (chicken broth is an option) - this dish really hits the spot in cold weather or if you are not feeling well.

For the spicy side, they have a seafood noodle soup.

Their onion pancakes are a favorite of this place.

Price - cheap cheap cheap. ~$5-8 per dish.

I've not had a bad dish in this place.

Friday and Saturday nights are harder to get seated because of the large groups that come in. Price of success, pun intended.

• Pros: dumplings
• Cons: friday and saturday night are very busy nights
