I’ve been coming here for a while now and the food is good but the service is the worst. The waitress, a short little Asian lady, is always complaining about doing her job and making faces. She never refills drinks and if you ask she complains in her native language. On tonight’s visit we showed up and asked for a table. She asked for how many and we told her 11. This has never been a problem. However, today she decided to laugh out loud and say no you can’t do it here. Confused, we asked do what. She proceeded to count the chairs at the table like we were dumb and say only 8 people can sit here. Because chairs can’t be moved… anyways, after years of coming here and having rude encounters with this same waitress we have decided to no longer buy from this place. I’m leaving this message so the owner can see it and have a conversation with this waitress about her rude demeanor. We ended up going to a restaurant down the street called, Banana Leaf, with great food and great service.

Always on the hunt for the best chinese restauarant in Houston. We didn't want to miss out on the Lucky Dragon. Although our server did not speak English, we were able to identify some tasty dishes. We ordered the Honey Sauce Shrot Ribs and the Sizzling Beef. Both of these dishes were fantastic and highly recommended. Portions were decent size but you will definitely want to order one dish per person at the table. They brought out a good initial portion of rice and refilled it when needed. Enjoyed the authentic homestyle experience.
P.s.- They brought out forks but they were kind enough to bring chopsticks upon request.

Our social group was dinning it Lucky Dragons Restaurant in Houston Chinatown often. The foods are excellent. The chefs willing to make special order of Cantonese style traditional Hong Kong chicken herbal soup, the fresh Canada dungeon crabs saute with garlic & onion Hong Kong style are so 😋 You should try it out at lunch, their lunch specials only less than $8.00 per order. Wow, great price !! TRY IT OUT !

Authentic, Great food, family owned store, May be a wait sometimes but worth it.

They must have a new chef because the food is so good! This is probably my favorite family style dining on Bellaire now. The lunch portions and pricing is fantastic. I've came here for dinner as well. Get the honey sauce with beef short ribs and the lobster. Restrooms are clean as well and the place doesn't have a weird smell.

Very disappointing experience here - Spoiler: THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
We initially came for lunch with the place practically empty and had a decent meal. My family of 3 ordered 3 dishes and the wait time/service was fine. The food was not bad so we decided to order some food to go as well (3 dishes again) - This is where it all went downhill fast.
We paid for both our dine in and to-go meals and was told to come back in about 30 min to pick up the food. So we headed to the supermarket next door to pick up some groceries. We show up 40 min later to pick up the to-go order and was told it was not ready (only 1 out of 3 dishes were done). Fine. We wait another 15 min and it’s still not ready. There were now 3 big parties in the restaurant (but we ordered our takeout before they all showed up). There were only 2 waitresses on the floor; both of which were suddenly not friendly.
TLDR; It took AN HOUR AND A HALF for them to finally give us our to-go order.
What’s appalling is that the waitresses refused to cancel/refund my order when I threatened to leave and went to go hide in the back while “checking on our food.” Also, NOT ONCE did they apologize for making us wait so long. They had the audacity to say that we should’ve ordered earlier before it got busy (which we did, proven by timestamp on my receipt). If I hadn’t already set expectations that I was bringing takeout home, I would’ve have just walked out and called my credit card to cancel the transaction. Would not recommend this place to anyone. There are way better options nearby. Also after reading past reviews, it’s sad to learn that the lack of service has been an issue for years and the owner simply does not care. Please do not support this business. The staff will be happier elsewhere.

Small family owned restaurant- fully deserves 5 stars. Food is authentic, great flavor and taste. Seafood is super fresh (literally live in front of you)

Food is good and relatively inexpensive but you have to wait for so long to eat or pick up. Can you believe it, I had to wait for almost 2 hours to get 6 orders to go.

I do not recommend anyone to go to this place, the food is good but they do not warn that the TIP of the waiters is already incorporated that must be voluntary from each client. They charged me $14.50 for tip and the waitress reluctantly served us
Subpar food, terrible service. The lady that works at the front is truly a drag. Food proportions were good but soooo

We went to this restaurant for diner last night. There were only about 10 people dining in it. The food is not that bad. We were thinking about coming back. Then we saw the same lobster dish we ordered was almost half the size of the same dish on the other tables. Those people were talking to the owner of the restaurant in their native language. We will never visit this place again. If you do not know the owner of the restaurant personally, or do not know their native language, please do not go there. This restaurant seems to be their own diner place. They will share the food you ordered.

This is a typical Chinese family restaurant, not your Americanized Chinese food. The restaurant is on the smaller side with less than ten tables. My friends and I went pretty late after typical dinner hours. When we arrived, only one table was occupied. My friend let me ordered the food. The portion was decent and my friends praised about the tastiness of the food. As for me, it was decent.If you want to try some authentic Chinese food, check it out. If you want Americanized Chinese food, this is not your place.

The food was okayish. The restaurant was busy and we waited 30 minutes for takeout. The beef wasn't tender, and the pork ribs were low quality and looked better in the pictures. The shredded pork was decent.
