Chef Kenny's Asian Vegan Cuisine

Tried out Fine River Dim Sum for the first time today. It was pretty good. When we went (4 PM) the restaurant was empty. Food came out at a good pace. Price and portion was good. I enjoyed the salted egg yolk buns... Yum! Will come back if I'm in the area.

Wife wanted dimsum after a fun time at Activate Games in Katy. Found Fine River open later than most places on google with great reviews. Showed up with 16 friends and family, and was greeted and taken care of the whole time. Service was amazing, attentive, and friendly! Food came out fast and was so good. Will be back, thank you!

Went here thinking it was a vegan restaurant based on the reviews but apparently the old restaurant is no longer operating and the new one is not too vegan-friendly. They do have a few veggie options but I wouldn’t go out of my way here to eat if you’re vegetarian or vegan. Food was pretty good though, considering!

A new dim sum restaurant that took over a somewhat will known vegan restaurant space. Because the restaurant is pretty new the food came out very slow. For example we ordered everything and our shrimp dumpling came out last when we are all full. I would skip the shrimp dumpling even though it is a must have at a dim sum but the Sui Mai where really good size for the price. The Spare Rib with Black Bean was good also.

First time trying here and it has become my fav. Everything I got was hot, fresh, tasty, filling and seem to be handmade. The steam salted egg custard bun is a must try!!! Will def come back! 10/10

My parents really wanted to try the new dim sum place, but I was hesitant. Fine River proved me wrong. Everything was so fresh and less greasy than bigger dim sum places like Fung's. My favorites were the fried squid, fried custard puffs (like donuts with custard!), turnip cake and congee. Things were slightly under-salted but better for your health. The wait staff was also nice and got all the dishes to our table timely. Everything was hot and fresh. If it wasn't so far away for us, this would be my go to dim sum place.

Great new addition to the Chinatown Dim Sum scene. They serve dim sum all day, Sun - Thursday to 6:30, Friday Sat to 9pm. You order from a menu and the dishes come out a few at a time. They are tasty, hot and doesn’t taste like MSG to me. The pork blood is very good, as well as chicken feet, rice rolls, beef tripe, eggplant and congee. They have an egg tofu rice roll which I haven’t seen before and is really good. Highly recommend.

Came here to eat yesterday for the first time, and came home with a stomach and diarrhea. I'm not sure which food caused it but did notice the fish porridge taste funny. Very disappointed. This is one of the reasons I don't like to try a new restaurant.

Decided to have some lunch before leaving back home my bf picked this place cause I really wanted some dumplings. It was so so good. He got the general tso and I got the shrimp/chive dumpling and mini pork buns. Everything was fresh and juicy. After eating it we felt so good. We were very happy to find an inexpensive authentic restaurant. I would def go again when in town.

Best Jain food!!

One of the best places I have been to have vegan Asian food! Their entire menu is NO onion and NO garlic and yet tastes amazing!! We had orange chicken, ramen, sushi, ice creams and everything was amazing!! Must try if you love Asian food and are in Houston.. I really hope they open an franchise in DC

This Dim Sum place is under soft open, we called earlier to reserve a table but they can’t take reservations. We went there after 1PM on Tuesday and had to wait for 20 minutes.

We ordered 7 dishes from a menu instead of cart passing by. The dishes came slowly one by one. Each dish has good portion and I was full before all dishes were on the table. Most dishes were in plastic plate which is a negative to me. The good thing about their food is that they tastes good and won’t feel thirsty after the meal - no (or minimized) MSG.

Oh, we got a 15% discount during the soft opening period! You should try this place during weekday later in the afternoon!

Some pictures in this Google map are from last vegan restaurant in this location. Check the menu section to find out what they offer!

We went to Fine River on a weekday and it was not busy… there were only 3 tables with a few customers.

Food was ok but the wait was NOT acceptable. We waited 45 minutes for the first dim sum to deliver to our table and another 10 minutes for the rest of the orders (we only ordered 5 dim sum dished).

With so much competition around the area which offer same food in the same price range, this restaurant will NOT last long.

I will pass and not return.
