Food quality has gone downhill. Even their house special rice cake isn’t the same anymore. It used to be my favorite rice cake. I would only eat it at Tan Tan. Now it’s soggy, not crispy like before and they’re very stingy with the pickled radish. Their chili oil sauce isn’t the same as before either, quality and freshness has gone down. I am breaking up with Tan Tan. Chia tay với Tân Tân!

If you have never been to China or have never tasted any good authentic Chinese food, it might be okay to come here. Otherwise you will be disappointed. The food here is at the same level as Panda Express or the food court in a shopping mall. Service is good and table is clean, just like you would expect from any other restaurants. I guess this is the way for Chinese restaurants to survive here in the US.

The wait time is bad. The Chef MUST BE SLEEPING or something because when I look around, the place weren't even busy at all. If you don't want to be late getting back to work on time, don't go to this place for lunch, because you're just gonna sit there and wait.

I'd give this place a solid 3 because the food was good. What my Wife and Friend ordered was pretty delicious. Outside of that, they need to closely monitor the bathrooms because I saw something so horrifying, I am 100% sure I'll get banned from posting reviews if I put a photo. Jesus.

In my opinion, There are two main signs of a great Chinese restaurant: 1. Most of the patrons are speaking an Asian language. 2. You have no idea what they’re eating—or where those dishes are on the menu! 😉
That said, in Tan Tan Restaurant there are always familiar favorites like fried rice and walnut chicken—and Tan Tan Restaurant has those dishes freshly made for you and many more to choose from. Beyond the classics, they serve authentic dishes that might be less known to Western diners but all are packed with bold, delicious flavors. Portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and service is quick.
Bottom line: You can’t go wrong with Tan Tan Restaurant for flavorful, satisfying Western-Chinese dishes right in the heart of Houston’s Chinatown.

The food was excellent. The wait staff was superb! The atmosphere was good. It is exceptionally clean (including the restrooms). Good for children and adults alike. Plenty of parking.
Surprised with the fast and quick service. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. Nothing to complain about. Thanks for the great visit, I will be back.

Great food and atmosphere. This place was recommended to us by a family member, and did not disappoint. Took the family out to eat here, they loved it. We had the flat noodles, walnut shrimp, fried rice and Peking duck with bao buns 🤤. Everything 🤌 on point. Would definitely recommend this place.
