Went a couple times several years ago (pre covid) and I have to say I enjoyed the food and overall experience more then than now. Dined in last week with a friend and had shrimp dumplings, spring rolls, and egg drop soup. Dumplings were maybe a 3/5 and the spring rolls must have been put together while ingredients were still damp since they fell apart all over my plate as I tried to eat them. My friend even stated that he kept sending the smell of a dirty dish rag or sponge. Our service was okay and we didn't complain about anything but I doubt I will return any time soon.

I've come to Auntie Chang's Dumpling House a few times over the years, always by invitation. It is located on the second floor of a busy shopping complex off Shepard. Customer service on my visits have been ok. Just employees going through the motions really. The inside is nice and quiet as I have never seen a crowd here. I was super excited to come here the first time I was invited because I love me some dumplings. For being a dumpling restaurant, the variety here is pretty small. They have your typical dumpling filling options like beef, chicken, shrimp, pork and veggie. You can have those options either steamed or pan fried. I have tried all the meat options other than the shrimp. The filling is decent but a tad bit on the salty side. The dumpling dough consistency can be hit or miss. Sometimes they fall apart, other times it is thick and gummy. Some are spot on and delicious. They do have quite a variety of other Chinese dishes. I've had the General Tso's Chicken, Broccoli Beef, and fried rice. You know, the most generic Chinese food items. All have been tasty and satisfying, but nothing to write home about. All in all, it's a cute place with decent food. I just know there are way more dumpling options around town that I would rather go to when the cravings hit. I would come back here if invited here again.

This may have been the most lackluster Chinese food I have ever eaten. I found it on UberEats and of course came straight to Yelp for reviews. All I can say is maybe they were having an off day because I am not a fan. I can't comment on the service and ambiance, as I did not dine it. I ordered and had my food delivered. Spring roll - This was the only thing I ordered that was actually pretty good. It was crispy on the outside like it should be and soft yet crunchy and yummy on the inside. Singapore Fried Rice Noodles - This is normally one of my favorite dishes. Not at this place though. My noodles lacked that delicious, signature curry flavor and were just bland. I did everything I could to doctor it up and make it edible. But, ultimately just threw the dish in the trash. Pan Fried Shrimp Dumplings - Very mushy and did not look like any shrimp dumplings I have ever had. Most mince the shrimp and pack it in. These were small, whole shrimp stuffed inside a wonton and nothing else. I appreciated the whole shrimp, although different. But, these were so mushy that they weren't edible. It could have been due to delivery. So, I'll give them that. But, regardless the flavor was still lacking. Beef with Broccoli - Another lackluster dish. This was not mine, but I tasted it so I could review it. We love beef and broccoli around here and were extremely disappointed with the subpar flavor in this dish. I have never been to this restaurant and I think it's safe to say this was the first and last order I will place here. Not a fan.

Auntie Chang’s is one of my favorite Chinese food restaurants in Houston! The food and atmosphere is so comforting. Family owned business, it’s nice seeing the staff every time we come.

Tasteless food with small portionsI ordered the Chicken Fried Rice ($9.50) to-go. It was a flavorless mix of mostly rice, some shreds of carrots, and little flecks of chicken and egg. There were more crunchy bits of eggshell than actual egg in the fried rice - would not recommend!While the restaurant layout is open and clean, the interior feels dark and dated. Service is uninspiring but gets the job done.Parking: Free lot -lots of spaces

I've been coming here for over 15 years for very good reasons. They have high quality control over the ingredients and how food is prepared. For someone who has a sensitive stomach, I trust to eat from here regularly and never get an upset stomach. The owner is there probably 9 times out of 10 and makes sure that everyone is taken care of and that you are enjoying your meal.Our family favorite is the sesame chicken. If you want something that can last a couple of days in the fridge, we've had a lot of success with the ginger chicken and chicken fried rice.

Terrible. More than half the Sesame Chicken was breading. Stale and flavorless fried rice. The free egg rolls tasted like cigarettes (how is that even possible??) will not be back. The Wonton soup was pretty good though so that’s

After living in Houston for more than 2 years now, we finally decided to try Auntie Chang's.Our server Fei was AH-MAZING!We ordered dumplings & he made us a tableside sauce that was SOOOOOOO GOOD. You could put that sauce on a napkin & eat it.He had great recommendations & the food was good. The veggies in our entrees had really uneven cuts - some big, some small & we ended up with some large pieces of almost raw onion but it was still really good.All in all, a good experience that Fei made EXCELLENT ?? - we'll be back on Wednesday & Thursdays just to see Fei!!!

Fei is an amazing server- Ask for him. I’ve never had a server make a nice spicy sauce for my dumplings. The pork and chicken dumplings are my favorite and they’re MEATY!
Super authentic restaurant. The food was incredible! From beginning to end - enjoyed everything. Might even be my new favorite Chinese food spot in Houston.
