China Gourmet 福州风味小吃

I dont get it, I came here today and I was really nice. Im not Chinese so maybe the waiter is a little bit confused so he asked another man came for help. And that men (he is older) was kinda rude with me and seem like he is uncomfortable with me ( I didnt do anything wrong, I just came and I was really nice because this is my first time trying Chinese food). And then, when I asked for payment, that men asked me for $19???? And I was pissed off 😡. So here is the receipt when he saw me calculate the price of my orders, total is just $16.8 + 1.38 and fee 0.55 = 18.73. This is my first and last time coming here. Bye

First of all, I want to mention that I was born and raised in Houston, with Latino roots. I've been looking to try something new, so I've been hopping from one restaurant to another in search of a hidden gem. I found this restaurant on Maps and decided to give it a try, despite not knowing anything about the cuisine or the language. But that didn’t stop me from wanting to enjoy lunch.

As soon as I arrived, I knew I had found the right place because it had an old-fashioned look, which usually signals great food. When it came time to order, I was making guesses based on the pictures, as most of the menu was in Chinese. I decided to order something called braised octopus because it looked good in the image. However, the server asked me several times if I was sure about my choice. They tried to explain why it might not be a good idea, but their accent made it hard to understand. Ultimately, I decided to go with something else because I felt like only people who are familiar with the cuisine truly know how to appreciate it.

This is not a bad review—the food was actually delicious, and the flavors were on point. I might go back, but I chose to eat in my car because I didn't want to feel out of place, especially since it’s an Asian-centered establishment and I only speak Spanish and English. If any friends want to join me on another visit and can help me better understand the culture, I would love that!

First time try 福州 food. We had a light lunch with ordering only flat meat, niuhualaohua, and all kinds of oyster pies. The service is good and food came really quick. Kids liked the flat meat and pies with drizzling vinegar. Adults enjoyed niuhualaohua. We were all amazed how tasty the wonton like flat meat and how tender the beef in niuhualaohua! Great experience and food adventures! Recommend this place and will come back for sure!

The owner/head chef was extremely dedicated and stayed 30 minutes after closing to help cook and take care of us. Food was extremely delicious. Not a single complaint.

I've been here several times and it's not open. It says it will open tomorrow, which makes me make several trips in vain.

I really want to say I liked this place because of the reviews but this was unfortunately not for my tastebud. The mix noodle tasted mushy and the other noodle dishes were bland and one of the dumplings had a sour taste.The service was pretty bad. We asked for water and the server gave a group of 11 just ONE cup of water. Seems to be many workers but just 1 server. We ended up getting our own water, it was in a cooler (similar to the big Gatorade jugs)This restaurant was a little hard to find since the door was hidden behind the pole. It looked clean but don’t let that fool you. The tables were really sticky, luckily I had wet wipes handy to wipe it down a little. While I was getting my food and spinning the lazy Suzy a spider came crawling out from underneath!
