We had been coming here for the last few years. They changed owner and the menu. They were good before. But their food actually get better. We always had a good time here.
Phenomenal meal at Taste of China! There was only a few tables besides ours so it wasn't too busy. We walked in as a party of 8 during a rainy Saturday afternoon and we were able to be seated right away.
One of my friends suggested this place as she was craving their mapu tofu, pickled string bean with pork, and spicy diced chicken. We also got the grandma style braised pork, eggplant, and their cold appetizer beef slices and ox tripe, all of which were very delicious....read full review
If you want to eat authentic Chinese food, I recommend coming here; the atmosphere is very welcoming, the food is delicious, and the place is well-maintained. You feel right at home—there are even dishes not on the menu that they can prepare for you. Ask for Ping; she will take excellent care of you.

Taste of China 鸿运来 in Houston's Chinatown offers authentic Chinese cuisine in a welcoming and well-maintained setting. The spacious interior makes it suitable for both small and larger groups, providing a comfortable environment to enjoy a variety of flavorful dishes. The restaurant is known for its delicious food and friendly service, with attentive staff like Ms. Lily who ensure a pleasant experience. Although the servers speak limited English and service can sometimes be slow during busy hours, the quality of the food makes up for these inconveniences.
Highlights include the mapo tofu, which is perfectly balanced with spiciness and Sichuan peppercorns, and the gingered cucumber, a fresh and crisp side dish with a subtle zing. The braised pork is tender and soaked in a savory sauce, offering hearty comfort food. The egg rice is also praised for its perfect taste, and the soup dumplings with their freshly made skin and good thickness are a standout. The lamb is beautifully prepared with a variety of flavors, though some may prefer fewer fatty pieces.
While the layout of the restaurant may feel a bit cramped and less organized, the focus on tasty food and a warm atmosphere makes it a worthwhile visit for those craving authentic Chinese dishes.
