“Food is delicious!

*2026
Ive been coming here for almost 10 years and the food never fails to impress me. Always so flavorful and very affordable. Yesterday was my first time dining in for my dad's birthday and it didn't disappoint. Plates were overflowing with food, staff were very friendly and attentive. Love it! If you've never tried their food it is a must.“

“We’ve been coming here for a while now and this place has never disappointed me !
Everything always comes out hot and ready to go🫶🏻 please try out the cheese puffs they’re so freaking big and delicious ! The guy in front is very friendly and polite too 😎
Good price and great service !“

“First time eating here I ordered take out pretty large order it was fast also. I love egg drop soup and they did not disappoint. I absolutely loved this place. It's hard to find good Chinese Food in the City. Definitely will return. The ladies at the register were nice also“

“Super friendly gentleman greeted me and personally helped me select a menu option. I went with one that was loaded with vegetables, chicken, and seafood. It came with a generous side of tasty rice. To be candid, I was shocked to find such a pallet pleasure, at such a reasonable price.
I absolutely do recommend this place for your asain food cravings. I was the only one inside, but the drive through was constant and steady, appearing to be a local drive-thru favorite.“

“I went there after working, ordered, and had my food in my hand within minutes, piping hot. The portions are incredibly generous, they put the rice in a separate container because it wouldn't fit in the other box 😂 definitely worth the price and could be multiple meals (unless you are especially hungry)“

“A little hole in the wall secret that is a must try! BEWARE! You will fall in love and only want Chinese food from this place! I’m moving away from Pasadena and am requiring that my boyfriend bring me their food and an abundance of their sauces weekly!!!! YUM!!! And the service is top notch! Quick and friendly!“

“Greatest Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. Literally has made all other Chinese food places taste bland or just had me thinking I wish I was sitting in those red leather seats again. Dining in is the way I most commonly eat, and it’s magical every time. The cashier is always so friendly and sweet, you can tell they like being there and treat you well. Everything is reasonably priced and the portions are very hearty, I’d say that I eat a lot, and the sesame chicken with no rice (the best chicken on the menu imo) always fills me up without making me feel sick. 100/10 please come here and give these kind people business!!!“

“We enjoy eating at Ah-Loo. It's easy to place a pick-up order over the phone, and then grab it at the drive thru window. Our go-to items are sesame chicken, orange chicken, wonton soup, sweet and sour pork, cheese crab puffs, and egg rolls. Once they left off my soup, I called back and, because we live close by, my husband was able to go back and pick it up - no questions asked.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Every employee in this place I have ever dealt with was outstanding. Kind, fast, patient,and professional. Give them all a raise! Food is always hot, fresh, and tasty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“muchas gracias por su atención, es excelente el servicio y muy rica la comida y se puede pasar una rato muy agradable con la familia y amigos.“

“Great food, great service!“

“I’m a customer for many years. I’m also been in hospital and healthcare a lot lately yet every time I try to order delivery the restaurant is closed? You close at 8pm that’s not acceptable. Please feed us your fantastic food when people eat dinner at dinner time. Please stay open with delivery until 10pm everyday.
Thanks“

“I was excited when I saw this place pop up on my search for dumplings. When I walked in the place was decorated with some really cool styling drawings of big goldfish that looked like they were swimming on the walls. The lighting was nice and actually romantic. My waiter walked up and kindly sat me and brought me a pitcher of lemon and water with this neat cup. I ordered the beef and shrimp soup dumplings and some mushroom and beef pan dumplings. The pan dumplings came with a dipping sauces that compliments them very well, there were other condiments on the table to make it spicier. The food was freshly prepared and the textures wowed me! The soup dumplings were delicate and great texture with lovely fragrant flavors. After the dumplings I got an order of sesame balls. They came fresh and hot. I took them to go because I could not eat another bite. This place is definitely on my favorites list. I have to come back to try more items from the menu!“

“We ordered online. The process was easy and we were able to pick up through the drive thru. The food was great. I had and combo meal, and my husband had the Singapore rice noodles. Both were spicy and very tasty. The portions were generous enough to get 2 servings out of each meal. This place is great!“

“delicious. the coffee is great. the salad has this sweet tangy savory something on it that so delicious. the E4 is AMAZING. definitely will be back“

“The food here is delicious that you will be back to try more dishes. Passing thru but when we do we stop here it's the best. The cook is the artist here, delicious for sure!“

“My childhood spot will always be Timmy Chan’s 🔥
The wings, fried rice, and lemonade still hit the same every single time 😮‍💨💯
If you grew up in Houston, you already know this place is part of the culture. Fast, fresh, and always satisfying. Definitely a 10/10 childhood comfort food spot ❤️🍗🍚“

“Absolutely delicious. I got the general chicken with fried rice and 2 egg rolls.

I have to start off by saying it was the best fried rice I've ever had from a restaurant. The rice was soft, and just a little chewy, not overly mushy or crunchy, cooked just right. The flavor was lightly sweet and eggy, unlike the fried rice I have had from other places that was dry and drowned in overpowering soy sauce. It was great both on its own and paired with the chicken.

And now the general chicken itself was perfect. The meat was juicy and tender, there was plenty of veggies (I especially loved the crispness of the water chestnuts), and the sauce was spicy and full of flavor; it tasted a bit like sriracha.

The dinner meal portion size was very generous, too. I didn't take a picture because I was not expecting to leave a review, but I was starting to feel full halfway through it.

The wait for my food was on the longer side, but I know that's because it was being made fresh, and the wait staff was very friendly and kept me updated.

All in all, I am 100 percent coming back, and I am telling my friends and family.“

“I ordered a pepper steak dinner and chicken wings. The food is authentic and beyond full of flavor. I can't even begin to tell you how this food just made my heart warm. To be in Houston and only have panda express and no real CHINESE food... Man boy oh boy 😂 I'm happy to have found Linda & Christina!!! That is a family that knows them pots.“

“We went 6/24/22 for lunch. The food & service was outstanding. The food was fresh and wonderful. The service couldn't have been better. Definitely plan on your back.“

“Clean. Remodeled December 2021. Ample parking. Great food. Friendly and caring staff.“

“Bamboo China Café is one of my favorite restaurants. I absolutely love the food—it’s always delicious and prepared with great care. The service is excellent, and all the ladies are very kind and attentive. Everyone who works there is super friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I highly recommend this place and always enjoy coming back. Excellent food and outstanding customer service!“

“Ist time visit. Got the cheese puff appetizer. Fried pork dumplings.
Both really good, but would be awesome if the sauces that came with both were served warm. The cold sauces cooled down my food too fast. Coke to drink. Total bill with 20% tip was 24 bucks.
I want to try the house special fried rice on my next visit.
Great service. Not crowded at 7.30 Sunday evening.“

“Always get my order correct, delivery is super fast, great food, friendly people 😊“

“We were greeted by Yanaoing’s genuine smile and taken care of by her and the team throughout our experience. We appreciated her honest recommendations, thank you! The sour and spicy dumplings were so yummy… balanced and not overly spicy. The spicy tofu potstickers were fantastic and the woodear mushroom salad was the right texture (for those who enjoy it). The red bean and custard buns were adorable and delightful… soft, warm, and slightly sweet. It’s nicer inside than you would think… clean, bright, and spacious!“

“Wok D’lite is a Pearland gem. Great food, great service, great prices and consistent. My family has been eating here since the previous owners and will continue to support this family owned business. They always welcome us and our food is always hot and fresh. We love seeing them care for their young boys and how they interact with guests. My kids especially love seeing them and being able to say hi and talk with him. I encourage everyone to try wok D’lite. Even if it’s to go. They genuinely deserve your business. Honest and hard working people doing their best to support Pearland and their family.“

“Great dining experience! Staff very helpful and informative, delicious food!“

“Went by Monday after Easter because I’d been craving a fish sandwich since Good Friday—and they did not disappoint! The food hit the mark. My fries were still hot by the time I got home, and the fish sandwich was seasoned just right. It was my first time going, and everyone was friendly. Looked like a family-run place that’s been in the neighborhood for years, which I love to see. I’ll definitely be back for another plate soon!“

“Amazing family owned joint. Cool wood carvings on wall and chill ceiling tiles. Service is always amazing, food to match. Non hurried vibe even late. Two can splurge for under $50. Most meals $14 and down with generous portions.
Tell the server the shrimp toast people sent ya lol.“

“Great atmosphere enjoyed the music it was live!“

“Food is pretty good
We made a reservation and for some reason they wanted our party to sit separately. Which was weird
They also almost never picked up our plates or brought refills
The place is super nice on the inside though !“

“Delicious food, great customer service & restaurant is always clean. Love this place!“

“Maybe not the most exquisite but what I have had here has always been great.

Now I haven't lived in the area for a good while, not even the state to be honest, but I'm coming back and I will be stopping in here as soon as I can.“

“Thanh Phuong is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for good Vietnamese food at a reasonable price. I ordered the mixed beef pho, a Vietnamese sandwich, Vietnamese spring rolls, and Vietnamese tea. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned.

The pho had a rich, satisfying broth, and the beef was cooked perfectly—tender and not chewy, which can sometimes be an issue at other restaurants. The fresh vegetables served alongside the pho were crisp and plentiful.

The Vietnamese sandwich was delicious, the spring rolls were fresh and tasty, and the Vietnamese tea was a great addition to the meal. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.

One thing I really appreciated is that they also serve Chinese food. If you have family members who aren't as adventurous with Vietnamese cuisine, there's something for them too. My husband was able to find plenty of options he enjoyed, which makes it an easy restaurant for the whole family.

The restaurant was very clean, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Friendly staff, great food, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere make this a place I would happily visit again.“

“Allow our 1st experience was not all that good, slow service, forgot drink order( girl who took order left without telling anyone my hot tea order). I commend the young man working he was waiting on people as fast as he could and did a good job. The food we ordered was very good. Looking forward to trying other items.“

“I often this place and everytime the food is more delicious than the last. The service is great every worker is kind and respectful and go out of their way to ensure you received your food. The food is always hot and freshly made and super flavorful. Definitely one of my favorite Chinese spots.“

“This has been a go-to for me for many years now. The quality, and especially the quantity, are always excellent!!!! I can literally feed a family of 5 with a single large order of their chicken fried rice. Massive portion size. I also really like their chicken and fried fish.“

“Great prices! Great food! Large portions! Love it and I make it my mission to return to this place every chance I get. I wish we had a restaurant like this where I live.“

“The only issue I ever have here is the CHOW MEIN :( Any time I order during a specific time slot, the chow mein is usually PERFECT consistency & flavorful. If I buy at ANY other hour the chow mein is either flavorless (but edible) or over cooked to the point its GUMMY & inedible 😭 The consistency was like playdoh going down my throat 🥲😂 This leads me to believe I only like the chow mein when one specific employee is on shift & I need to figure out their schedule so I can have perfect panda every time LOL. Give that guy/gal a raise!“

“I had a private sampling in Dallas, so in love! I really hope y’all open a location here soon!! BRING YO BAOs!“

“My family has eaten here multiple times. The food is always fresh. Staff is quite, efficient and always friendly. Very clean restaurant with ample space to navigate. If you have not been I would definitely recommend the experience. You will be pleased.

Vegetarian options: You can definitely get just veggies.

Dietary restrictions: The menu is clear allowing for easy decisions

Kid-friendliness: Sometimes you can feel it when a place isn't partial to children, this is not one of those places.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's the law.“

“Been 5 years since I last been to this restaurant. Ordered the chicken fried rice, the portions are a lot smaller now and a lot more expensive. Ordered six pieces of chicken wings and rice. Appreciate the fact that they said pieces of chicken wings, so I wasn't expecting whole chicken wings. Think about that when you are ordering chicken wings. But in all the food was terrific, great, delicious. I'll be going back real soon.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Outstanding service, wide range of food, just don't eat the crawfish. Husband and I both had some and are paying the price. The food is so good we are going again in spite of the upset stomach. What's a lil tummy trouble between friends anyways?“

“muy rica la comida, muy buena la atención“

“once upon a time there was a nameless monster in this monster what was eager to get a name“
