Don’t to waste precious time reading online reviews to find hidden gems.
Here are a few recommendations from the Plano Bargain Storage team.
Sichuanese Cuisine
Yes, Sichuanese Cuisine serves Chinese-American favorites, like Orange Chicken and Wonton Soup. However, the restaurant is known for its authentic dishes that hail from China’s Sichuan province.
