“The food at this establishment is delicious. I can't remember ever having a dish that was bad. A modern and art deco setting offers an extensive menu of Cantonese cuisine. The Drunken Noodles, all prawn dishes, shaking chicken, cucumber smash, red oil dumplings, shaken beef, mopo tofu, and squid ink Freud rice are good and have an earthy flavor. The establishment in Chinatown will not disappoint you. All the restaurants, coffee shops, and other establishments in this shopping strip are owned by the same person. Parking at night can be challenging and you may have to park on the street. Extra security for your vehicles is provided by security patrols in the evenings. The service is excellent and quick. If they're not too busy, they'll pack your leftover food.Vegetarian options: Ask as they can make a dish vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Ask and they will comply.Parking: Parking in the evenings may be difficult, you may have to park on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a few ramps to all establishments.“

“It's an interesting fusion of Indian food along with Bar. Music is loud, so don't take your family for dinner, however, it's a great place to get yourself some Indian food. A place for youngsters to chill.Wheelchair accessibility: Not really wheelchair accessible, but staff was very kind to help out.“

“Overall, it is pretty good. The soup took quite some time to boil. It seemed the soup was out of refrigerator. The hot plate oven didn't heat up quickly. If you come in very hungry, then you must bear your hungry for some time. We sat for almost 10 mins before the hot pot brought up. So, easily need to wait 20 mins before you can eat. They do have few precooked items.Parking: Go there early for easy parking.“

“Celebrated my birthday at this restaurant, and the experience was wonderful. The staff were so nice to decorate the space for me. The food was also with delicious flavors that impressed all of my guests. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion with great food and exceptional service.“

“This is clearly a hidden gem in Houston if you're a fan of skewers. I highly recommend this place.Be warned, because everything is so good and the portions are small it's very easy to keep ordering and racking up a bill. This isn't a bad thing, but just be aware.“

“Todo está muy sabroso y el lugar me gustó por lo limpio y fresco que se siente. Es la primera vez que en un restaurante de comida oriental lo siento nuevo, con un ambiente moderno y la comida con un sabor tradicional, me gustó mucho y lo recomiendo“

“This was on my to-try list and it did not disappoint. Came in with some friends during lunch on a Tuesday and it was slow and quiet. The restaurant is spacious and bright inside. The waitstaff mainly speaks Chinese, but there are tablets you can order from on the tables. I got the beef brisket tomato noodle soup which was really good. The brisket was soft and super flavorful and the soup was tomato-y but did not taste like V8. I added in some of the chili oil and sambal that is provided at the tables and they enhanced the flavor of the soup even more. The bowl is also super large with lots of noodles and vegetables inside, so it was super filling (might even be shareable if you have a small appetite). I tried some of my friend's fish (same soup) and it was super tender and incredibly flavorful--I liked it more than the beef that I had gotten. We also got the brown sugar rice cake which was okay. It was crispy on the outside, but not that chewy. And there was a brown sugar filling on the inside which was super liquid-y and came out hot. The filling did taste a tad medicinal which I did not dislike, but did not like either. Overall, a great experience, will be returning!“

“????Had a delightful lunch experience at Dough Zone Houston Heights with my son yesterday! ? The soup dumplings and QBao were absolute standouts, stealing the show with their incredible flavors and textures. ? The other dishes we tried were still good, although the chili dumplings lacked a bit of the kick and chili punch compared to what I've had back in Seattle. ?️Nevertheless, the service here was top-notch, impressing us with its attentiveness and friendliness. ? And let's not forget about the spot itself - it couldn't be in a better location!The only downside might be parking, especially if it's busy or if you drive a truck. ? Overall, a fantastic dining experience that we'll definitely be returning to! Highly recommended! ?“

“Service and sushi were great! I think maybe the grease that was used for the salt and pepper tofu may have been old because it didn’t taste fresh. We had the boat and it was so good that my non vegan sons were singing praises! Overall a great first time experience.“

“Our server wasn’t that attentive, being that the restaurant wasn’t as busy we should have not waited 5-10 mins each encounter. Food was 9 out of 10 would visit again just request a different server.Took 20 minutes to receive our check to payNo request to refill the beverages“

“Beef noodle soup was awesome, hand pulled noodles are super fresh. The restaurant was very nice and staff was super friendly. Tonkatsu was hot and crispy and bao was fresh and fluffy. Definitely recommend dining in at the restaurant, the food tastes 10x better fresh.“

“First time here and it wasn't disappointing! Everything was so wonderful. Very friendly staff and clean restaurant. The cheesecake is the best I've ever had! Cannot wait to come back! 10/10. We had steamed pork dumplings, shrimp with lobster sauce, mandarin hot chicken & cheesecake.“

“Quick, fast, and delicious! We have had Pei Wei for years and are new to this area and were happy to see one nearby. I'd not seen a takeaway and delivery only concept for this restaurant before. Josh, the GM, came out right as we walked in and even took a couple minutes to help me find a menu item that fit my diet. Food was ready in minutes while we waited in the lobby. If you are nearby or passing through this is a nice stop for some quick Asian food. ?“

“This is a great Chinese restaurant for Cantonese food especially their clay pot rice. They have a lot of varieties of dishes served in clay pots with rice in. This is traditional Cantonese food and Rice to Meet You serve them very good. The only catch is that these clay pot rice takes long time (about 15 minutes) to cook. So just need a little bit patience for great food.“

“The best Chinese food I have eaten in the last 15 years outside of Puerto Rico.Everything tasted delicious. ALL.? recommended. No soy sauce needed, the mofongo ugh indescribable. You have to visit them. Thank you to the staff for an excellent meal.“

“This is a restaurant in regular rotation in my dining life. The food is excellent. Service is efficient and unintrusive. The prices at lunch, are bundled for combos and more than fair. And I have noticed that for evening dining experiences, when the lunch specials are no longer available, there is an upgraded look and feel to all aspects of the food, atmosphere and service which feels like a better justification than just the “time of day” basis for the higher dinner prices.“

“Best place ever I go here every Saturday with my dad and there is always good service here and the biscuit are amazing and there beef and broccoli is so good and I don't even like broccoli please come to this place and try it for yourself“

“Visited here for Goan vibes and Food…Anderson went an extra mile for his exceptional customer service !!!Food was flavorful … quality and quantity is worth the price and the hype !Overall it was a beautiful experience and great ambience !Beef cutlet stole the show !!! (Ordered it twice)“

“Sesame Hut is and has been great since my teen years. I've been going for so long that they've watched me and my kids grow up.The food is great. I love the #8 and the #3. The #5 is good too! *See picsKid-friendliness: Mr. Moon is a great friendly guy. He always gives my kids a candy when we visit and they love it!“

“The pork and the beef dumpling tasted great. I also took out the frozen pearl meatballs, pork with vegetable buns, Siu-Mai and pan fried chive buns.The cashier/owner was very friendly and helpful.Parking: It may be difficult to find the parking the most close to the restaurant. You can still find the parking a bit far away from the restaurant.“

“I’ve been to Taste of Mulan a few times and each time the food and the service exceeds my expectations. The people here are very friendly and their dim sum is better than the dim sum I’ve tried in China town. They have many options of dumplings which are available all day. I highly recommend this place!“

“everything was absolutely delicious the Peking duck was perfect the hot and spicy wontons were delicious the White staff was amazing power server Jasmine was very attentive and brought everything out and presented it just right all in all it was a great experience and it was worth the two and a half hour drive“

“Small store, always crowded, it is good for both dine in and takeaway. Roasted pork belly is just right, not too dry, not too salty. I dont try roasted duck here but heard many good things about them. The large box comes with fried rice / white rice and 2 meats, its is good portion for one, maybe you can split into 2 portions for lunch and dinner. If you dine in, they have puerh tea to help you digest with all fatty from duck and pork. Free. Parking is always filled up on the ground, be ready to park upstairs at no cost.“

“Top notch chinese hot pot! We ordered 3 broth (spicy, chicken and pork), deluxe beef and lamb and assortment of veggie. Everything tasted great. Their sauce bar has everything too, including desserts. Price is really fair. Every now and then someone was checking on us - super friendly staff. Also great ambience with some traditional interior design - fully recommend this spot!“

“Hot Pot City is the best, All you can eat in Houston. they have tons of seafood and meat options not to mention vegetables I've never even seen before and their bone broth is unbelievable. they also have vegan broth and about 10 types of tofu for you bean curd lovers. it's a must try if you're on the southwest side of Houston.“

“Came in for takeout and was taken care of by Janice. She was super sweet. She said they were short staffed and it may take a bit long, but I’ve ordered from here several times and I have never been disappointed. Janice offered me, my husband, and two other customers a free soda on the house while we waited for our orders. The food there is definitely worth the wait! The Szechuan chicken is always on point, and I have yet to try something on their menu I have not liked! The food is always fresh, hot, and spicy just like we like it! I’m so glad they are so close to our house. We will be coming back again for sure. Janice was very kind and helpful, she went above and beyond to take care of us. This place is definitely a gem.“

“Bún bò Huế tại đây là ngon nhứt các chỗ tôi từng ăn. Tô khi mang ra là đạt đủ độ nóng cần thiết để ăn với khi cho rau vào. Tôi đã chọn tô cỡ thông thường. Các thứ bên trong rất ngon. Chả lụa là loại ngon, giò heo đạt đủ mềm. Nơi đây có chỗ ngồi trong và hai ban Café bên ngoài. Bãi xe rất rộng và an ninh cực kỳ rất tốt. Tại đây có các nhân viên lịch sự và nhanh nhẹn, thân thiện - làm việc rất hiệu quả. Tôi muốn cảm ơn hai bạn Nhân Viên đã phục vụ.❤️ Emily &Nico ————————— The Hue beef noodle soup here is the best I've ever eaten. When brought out, the bowl is hot enough to eat and when vegetables are added. I chose the regular sized bowl. The contents inside were delicious. The pork sausage is delicious, the pork trotters are soft enough. This place has seating inside and two Café tables outside. The parking lot is very large and the security is extremely good. There are polite, agile and friendly staff - working very efficiently. I want to thank the two staff members for their service.❤️ Emily & Nico ——————— - La sopa de fideos con carne Hue aquí es la mejor que he comido. - Cuando se saca, el bol está lo suficientemente caliente para comer y cuando se agregan las verduras. - Elegí el cuenco de tamaño normal.

“The xiao long bao is good but not amazing. Scallion beef was delicious, and so was the scallion pancake. Service was very good, nice sweet ladies.One thing to note, the server will ask for 20% tip. We didn’t mind giving that because 20% is becoming the new standard and the service was good. But this may rub people the wrong way.“

“If you want authentic Chinese food look no further. One of my biggest pet peeves with Chinese food in the states is the overly greasy and salty dishes. You won’t run into that here. The ingredients are fresh, the food is light and wholesome that comes in very generous portions. We will definitely be back!“

“The food was fresh and delicious piping hot our server was very attentive to our needs he was fast there is plenty of parking also I can't wait to go back and try more food everything looks delicious. We had the singepoor noodle wonton soup and general chicken you can tell everything was freshly “

“This place is absolutely amazing— food is out of this world delicious and quantity to price ratio p/dish is pretty decent (especially if you compare against Mala Sichuan Bistro). Service is also very quick and ofc super friendly. Lucky to have these guys in the area“

“Great little place we happened to find because their outdoor sign said, “$2.50 for beer”! ? So of course we went. We didn’t get food; we got two beer towers.➕The place also has karaoke!! So you can inp it your songs from the machine selection and sing away to restaurant guests. My bf and I perform sometimes so the crowd was loving it!“

“order clear soup pot + lamb scorpion + white-cut lamb shoulder, with cabbage + radish + red bean cake + naan, they are all very good, my favorite is the white-cut lamb shoulder, fresh and mellow, the ratio of bones, meat, fat and tendons is just right , I would like to try the roasted whole lamb if I have the chance.“

“Food was amazing! Service was great. Definitely will be our go to Chinese restaurant when visiting Houston! They have the BEST General Tso's chicken I've ever had, it was lightly breaded and taste great, when I go back, I'll have them add a lil more spice to it. The pepper steak was also amazing! Looking forward to our next trip to Houston, we will definitely be coming back!“

“I absolutely love coming here. The owners and staff are absolutely incredible. Truely a family feel and the food and drinks are amazing!Dietary restrictions: Brought a couple of friends that had Dietary restrictions, called ahead and Mary made sure they would have something to serve, as always, it was delicious!“

“Chút review về nhà hàng Hải Cảng Seafood, chia sẻ kinh nghiệm cùng cả nhà. Hôm nay ba mẹ mình thèm tôm hùm. Đi hơi xa nhưng cũng mua về cho ba mẹ ăn. Về đến nhà lúc ba mẹ mở ra ăn thì mới thấy hơi bị khét, khô và ăn hơi bị đắng đắng. Mẹ phone cho mình nói thời buổi này, hai con tôm hùm cũng 50 đồng chứ không có rẻ, nhưng tại sao đầu bếp làm như vậy mà không chịu làm lại đàng hoàng cho khách. Mình nói thôi để con cho quản lý hoặc người chủ biết để người ta cẩn thận hơn để khỏi bị mất khách. mẹ cũng hơi ngại vì thời buổi làm ăn khó khăn, nhưng mình nói con cho người ta biết để cẩn thận hơn. Rồi mình đã gọi cho nhà hàng giải thích trường hợp là như vậy . Nhưng ba mẹ cũng ráng ăn gần 1/2 phần rồi. Chị Lan , cô quản lý vui vẻ và nói với mình, hai bác đi đường xa đến , cho chị xin lỗi và số điện thoại tay của chị nè , khi nào hai bác muốn thì cứ gọi cho chị , chị làm hai con tôm hùm khác đền lại cho 2 bác. Nghe xong mình cũng thật mát lòng và vui vẻ nói cảm ơn chị. Làm ăn thời buổi này thật khó khăn nhưng thật quý mến những tấm lòng đàng hoàng và làm có tâm như chị. Chị sẽ được em và gia đình ủng hộ mãi. Delicious foods, and excellent customer service.“

“Found this place from an instagram reel. It's a little further out, it was easy to find parking, and the food was really flavorful, fresh, and delicious! Service was friendly too. We went at a weird hour but food came out fast. Portions were big and we were struggling to finish. Oil splashed noodles have a lot of garlic though, great for taste, maybe not so much if you're on a date.“

“The Peking Duck tasted good but quite pricey. It’s only allowed to order the whole duck from the restaurant, not allowed to order the half duck. The whole roasted duck is for $45 now, and it came with the duck soup. The flour tortillas for wrapping the sliced duck meat and scallion were too thick and the sauce was a bit salty though.The service here was fine. The staff members came to check on us for several times. But I would not say they were friendly, as I did not see the smile on their face all the time when checking on us. They looked so serious.Parking: The parking lot is quite big.“

“"No English on the menu" is one rule of thumb for picking authentic Chinese food in the U.S., and TJ Food is the place, seriously.Jian bing guo zi (the featured food), you tiao, soy milk, and roasted chestnuts are sooooo dammnnn goooood!Yysy, Everything is AUTHENTIC in the Chinese traditional way. Thanks, TJ Food. You are the one I should be thankful for in 2023's Thanksgiving holiday.(One should make a mod for these aunties and uncles with the truck in the "Gunman Taco Truck" video game.)“

“Had a hankering for fried rice. The rice was decent, kinda bland but still edible/good. Never had scallion pancakes before and that was pretty good as well. The only thing I noticed is my total. I paid $20.37 for a pickup order. But on the receipt upon receiving my order was $18.47. So that sends off red flags in my head. Probably won’t return because of that.“

“Our first time here, we came in at 8pm and they were so nice! Seems like a family owned mom and pop shop ❤️ potstickers were sooo good and fresh. Spring rolls were absolutely delicious, we got shrimp and pork and the sauce was amazing.Our kids got Chicken PHO and the serving sizes were HUGE!! And of course delicious . We tried taro & mango tea with boba & strawberry and blueberry smoothie. Both were great!We will definitely be back soon! ?Parking: Right Infront of restaurant.“

“Hot and sour soup was kinda cold warm and very sour. I do appreciate the service here and customer care. We got the sushi 2 Roll combo, mushroom balls and shrimp spring rolls. The mushroom balls were great but I think they could’ve done better with the sauce. The shrimp spring rolls were dripping in oil. I enjoyed the atmosphere and laidback experience. I highly recommend if you’re near by to stop and try this place. Also if you’re into mushrooms- get the mushroom balls!! They have krab and crawfish tail inside (stuffed)“

“Hands down the BEST Chinese food I have had in probably 15 years. I will have to come here every time I'm in Houston. I got the lemon chicken combo plate with fried rice, friend got the general tsao chicken combo plate. The amount of food the give you is INSANE and it's so cheap!!! The workers are so friendly and helpful too!Highly recommend, will be back for sure.“

“The new Mandarin Beef was spectacular! A perfect mixture of savory beef with delicious vegetables in a sauce that was to die for! I also recommend the Lychee Cosmo cocktail. Sweet and tangy!And my server, Phil, was outstanding!Overall, a great dining experience.“

“Went here with my cousin today, the food was absolutely delicious. The portions were very generous! You start with a chicken dish (we got medium spice/size) and it was more than enough for two people to share. The flavor was phenomenal. I particularly liked the onions. After you finish your first dish, they come by and fill your bowl with chicken broth, turning it into a delicious hot pot. All sides you can add on are generous as well. Overall, wonderful experience. We will be coming back for sure!“

“Pretty good food, really love the shrimp eggrolls. My only complaint is that the prices are marked up on grubhub but its understandable because of network fees that they have to pay so I can't blame for that. Probably won't order yall through grubhub but I'll just order take out and pick up from yall instead.“

“Really amazing food. We went there for some dumpling soup but ended up ordering a lot more and were able to finish all of it with ease. The food was fresh, well made and authentic with lots of vegetarian options.Kid friendly, high chairs available.“

“Great place for a tasty meal at a reasonable price, we came in expecting it to be a regular Chinese buffet, but were surprised it was all vegetarian and vegan dishes. We loved the food, it was very good and very filling.Highly recommended!! :)“

“This place is legit. I regularly want late night Asian food and am stuck with poor options for delivery or close by. This hit the spot. I called to ask about some vegetarian options and the person on the phone was very helpful- went through the menus with me and also told me how to order some non vegetarian dishes online with modifications. When I ordered something that could not be made vegetarian they took the time to let me know in the app. Wonderful. The bamboo was next level, never had it like this. Same with the shredded potatoes. The home made tofu and the vegetarian noodles amazing.“
