Their barbecued pork and roasted duck are absolutely terrific. I have been getting take out from them for years, and it is always excellent.

I had been eating at this place for over 30 years. I have watched it passed on down to the younger generations and the food was always consistently good. Now that they have sold out to the new owners, the food is not good at all. I drive from LaMarque to eat and l won’t be eating there anymore. The Peking duck was awful, the bok choy was mushy and the beef tripe was raw and full of cornstarch. Also, the Peking Duck appeared to be covered in food coloring.

I went for the 1st time. Trying to make a decision on what I wanted. Lady got a bit of attitude. I was trying to understand what she was saying (she had a strong accent). But I won't be going back.

Great to-go lunch for $21 feeding 2, served within a few minutes. Duck was flavorful with decent crispness on the skin. Fine-grained rice was very tasty (duck broth?), and of course there was bok choy. Also 1/2 pound of quite good char siu, not too sweet, not dried out. Will be doing this again....

Update former review below:
01/23/25 I was served old, cold food today. I usually order their braised pork once a week, but after being closed due to the weather, they finally reopened today. Unfortunately, the braised pork was completely off—the texture was wrong, and it tasted strange. I also ordered the duck, which was equally bad. I returned the pork, and they replaced it with chicken, but that too was off.
While I understand the weather caused delays in reopening, it doesn’t excuse serving old meat to customers. This will be my last visit, as it’s clear they have no regard for their patrons.
Old Review to see how much the food was enjoyed:
The food at Siu Lap City is absolutely delicious. The duck, BBQ pork, and braised pork belly with duck eggs truly are delicious. The portions and pricing are an excellent deal; You get two meats, rice, and vegetables for a great value. The only downside is that they tend to run out of certain items on most days. Oh and your BBQ meats may not be hot, but room temperature.
The original owner and helpers left the store and it's now owned by a different group of people. I tried once after the orginal owners left. The food taste is not as good as before. However, it's still a good place to try siu lap with reasonable prices and acceptable food flavor.
I hate it when new owners take a place over and immediately cut corners, while raising the prices. You can see in the pictures that everything is dry, and the roast pork had no skin on it. bad enough i stopped mid meal to write this.

Definitely a hidden gem in Houston. The roasted pork belly is wonderful. One of the best I have in Houston and even better than that in my home country. The chiecken dip sauce is good too.
