The food was so, so good! The fried okra was on point, the beef and broccoli....amazing, and the egg rolls were delish!! We will be back!!

I am sure I've posted a review for Asian and Mini's Seafood before but I'm sure it deserves another. Let's start with the food. Oil = clean. That is the most important thing to me when eating fried food and they do not disappoint. Flavors were spot on and tasted fresh and fantastic. The restraint is clean and open with friendly waitstaff. It's not a loud place at all and it's for a quick turnout from border to food at your table. read more

The Good: Egg Rolls and portion size for the price The Bad: everything else The egg rolls and the sweet chili sauce were good but they didn't have hot mustard which is a staple in Asian restaurants. The pork fried rice, although a good size portion for the price, was barely passable. It had very little taste, very little egg, very little vegetables and no garlic or ginger root for flavoring. The pork wasn't tender, it was overcooked and tough to chew. They didn't have chili paste, which is also a staple in Asian restaurants. Instead the waiter brought out Sriracha chili sauce which only a neophyte would use on fried rice. The taste ruins the rice. The waiter did the bare minimum but since it was near closing time and he looked like a friend's son I cut him some slack. read more

Great food and service! Everything we ordered tasted great will come back. The owner son has a great attitude he speaks and greet everyone.

MIXED FEELINGS: FROG OR OYSTER?? Mmm I don't know where to start with this review. I'm having mixed feelings about the experience I had at this establishment. I was referred to this restaurant by one of my high school students who raved and raved about how delicious the food is and about the big portions of food that you receive at a reasonable price. So, I decided my husband and I could take the opportunity to see what this establishment has to offer before going to the movies to see the new Bob Marley movie. It was the perfect plan so that we would not spend too much money on expensive movie food. However, I wish we would have just purchased the expensive movie food instead because my experience at this establishment was not a positive one. I was highly disappointed. Firstly, when hubby and I arrived, there was an older gentleman who greeted us as we walked in. He was really nice and reminded me of an elderly Asian man who is full of wisdom and philosophical knowledge. Customer service was excellent. He treated us very kindly and was very attentive to our needs while we dined. Secondly, we ordered the fried okra for our appetizer and we ordered a seafood platter for our entree in which we shared. It consisted of 2 pieces of fish, 6 oysters, and 6 shrimp accompanied by a side of shrimp fried rice and a beautiful and fresh garden side salad. The fried okra was hands down absolutely delicious and fried to perfection. The fish and shrimp were also hands down absolutely delicious! All were fried to perfection and possessed a nice crunchy texture and not a soggy texture which I despise! So, I have to give them their props because they fried the okra, the fish, and the shrimp just splendidly! The shrimp fried rice was AHHH-MAZING! I highly recommend the fried rice for anyone who loves great tasting shrimp fried rice. You will not be disappointed. Also, the fried seafood was not heavily doused with salt which is a plus in my book. I hate it when seafood is overly seasoned with salt because it's naturally salty anyway. Now, for the disappointing part of the meal. I absolutely love fried oysters especially when fried to perfection. However, these supposedly oysters that I was served were soggy and huge! They were fried crunchy on the outside but soggy on the inside which means they were cooked too fast. I had one or two small oysters out of six oysters but the other four were giant. My husband commented on one of the oysters when I picked it up and he said that it looked like a chicken wing. I have never seen oysters so freaking big in my life. I picked up another one to inspect it and I swear to God and on my life that it looked exactly like a small frog but too big to be an oyster. It had four legs and the body of a frog. This completely ruined my appetite and I did not eat them. I should've taken a close up picture of them but I wasn't thinking clearly because I was appalled by what I was witnessing. I couldn't even finish the rest of my meal but my husband was enjoying himself because he doesn't like oysters anyway so he was good. However, I had already eaten the smaller oysters in which I picked with because they were soggy and not crunchy like the fish and shrimp. They were actually oysters though, because they looked and tasted like oysters. Before biting into the bigger oysters, I tore it apart to see what it looked like on the inside and guys when I tell you it did not even resemble the inside of an oyster, I am telling you the honest truth! I shoved it to the side and covered it with a napkin so that my husband would not see. I did not want to ruin his appetite as well. The one that looked exactly like a frog, I hid that one from hubby as well and I dared not break it apart to inspect it. I did not tell hubby about it until a few days later. His reaction was, "oh wow! I was enjoying myself and going in while you were struggling trying to keep from vomiting." Then he said, "I'm glad I don't like oysters." In conclusion, Asian and Mini's seafood is a hole-in-the-wall type of establishment that serves delicious perfectly fried seafood. Oftentimes, one can find the best tasting fried seafoods at a hole-in-the-wall establishment somewhere in the hood. They remind me of Kim's Seafood restaurant, an establishment that was in the hood where I grew up on the Northeast side of town in Lakewood. It's still in business today and I would always order fish, shrimp, and oysters from them when I was a teenager. I know an oyster when I see one and I know what a frog looks like when I see one. I understand that mistakes happen and that they probably did not intend to put a frog on my plate. I also understand that some people enjoy eating frogs and turtles and other exotic foods but I do not eat that type of food and I am sickened by the thought of it being on my plate. I will not return to this restaurant and I really wanted to put them on my must-return-list. The food is good, visit at your own risk. read more

One of the most underrated spot on this side of town. This is very casual dining but the place is always clean and tidy. The service is good and the food is so affordable and tasty. I usually order to go and they do give you all sort of condiments to go with your order, more than I usually need. Love to support a small business! read more

It's been over 6 years since my last review so I am way over due to refresh it. My overall opinion hasn't changed since then. It is still very positive. Yelp tells me that I have now eaten here 28 times and I don't live nearby but whenever I am in the area, I give this place serious consideration for a visit. Today I stopped by for lunch for a bowl of their seafood gumbo. It comes with white rice on the side and my bowl had plenty of seafood, sausage, okra, etc. in a delicious roux. I enjoyed every spoonful. On previous visits, I have also devoured their fried seafood offerings (fish, shrimp, oysters, etc), yummy po boys, good french fries and one of my favorite versions of cole slaw. Seriously, everything on the menu is very good and priced extremely reasonable. They also also an everyday lunch menu too. This is a table service but casual restaurant run by a small family. The owner staffs the dining room and usually waits on tables. He is one of the nicest people you will ever have take your order and take care of you. This restaurant has become a mainstay for the neighborhood providing good tasting and inexpensive meals. Come eat here. read more

The food is awesome and very reasonable. The inside is dated but who cares when the food is this good. The service is great too!

Great fried shrimp and catfish yesterday evening. We'd been coming here over a few years. It's a little far for us, but we still like to come now and again. It doesn't look like much from the outside and inside, but staff is very attentive and we've never had a bad meal here. A lot of places have slid downhill, but they've kept it up. Please support this local business! read more

We went for the first time on Saturday for lunch. Excellent food. We both had the pad Thai which was great. We're looking forward to returning to try some of the seafood. This is a hidden gem and we'll worth giving it a try. read more

I didn't have high expectations, but it's was really wonderful. Teriyaki chicken and Pad thai were great. Not too spicy so my elderly mom could enjoy as well! read more

Little ambiance, great food and service. We have eaten there many time. Their sweet Pad Tai w/shrimp or chicken is outstanding.

We love the seafood! Anytime we have guests from out of town, we make an order and they all rave about it! It reminds me of years ago the way fried shrimp used to taste...Most seafood restaurants are ridiculous in their pricing, but Mini's Seafood is very reasonable and fresh tasting! In fact, when our guests from out of town come back, they usually ask to eat their seafood instead of some big fancy place! Melanie Thomas read more

Good place for lunch. Got the gumbo and 2pc catfish lunch plate. The gumbo was not very good. Edible but not true cajun style gumbo, more like canned. The catfish was good and very crispy. I loved the crinkle cut french fries. I'll go back for sure for the fried catfish. Service was great very fast, and the owner is super nice. Ambiance is your typical family owned neighborhood restaurant. Could use an upgrade, but it's not bad. read more

Love this place the food is always hot and yumm thank you I love there soup and noodles

Mmm what a gem ! My bf, a friend and i came in 50 min before close ( i try not to do that ) and they took very good care of us . The boys started off with wonton soup and finished it before i could even get a photo ! Very large portions and the chicken and beef skewers were fresh ! We just moved into the neighborhood behind this establishment and i can't wait to try the grilled mahi mahi ! Bonus : the veggies have phenomenal flavor and the skewers were overly soaked in teriyaki. We will be back !! read more

Heard about this place on FB and wanted to try because they liked it so much. It was close to home, but I drove past because it is in a shopping plaza strip. Pushed back off the street. Definitely worth stopping. Food was fresh & hot! Great flavor & even my picky, picky son finished his plate & then the rest of my husbands. Portions were large (had to take mine home) and prices were very reasonable. When you leave, don't forget the take out menu! You'll be back read more

After several visits, the QC, especially the seafood is superb & unapproachable. Virtually no oil in the fried food. Cooked in fresh oil at exactly the right temperature. Even the hush puppies. The only 2 cons are minor, as the salad generally has too much white vs green & the dinning room could use a cosmetic upgrade. This is the only things that keep this restaurant from being swamped. Entrees are $10-13. An 8-year mystery shopper's opinion. read more

First time here. Bought to go fried fish and shrimp lunch special. Great price and quality of food is good too! I didn't fancy the tartar sauce, seems home made but won't knock them on that. Cocktail sauce wasn't bad. Will def come back to try other dishes. read more

I'm so sorry to have to put this but the ratings boosted me to try this place out and I have to say I was dissatisfied. The food was not all of that as far as taste. I had fried catfish & shrimp. My fiancé had the gumbo & that required more seasonings once we made it home. Although, there's a Very nice man there in the front.. I will not be back. read more

So good! The food is fresh and I think it's one of the best plates of fried shrimp that I've had! My husband also ordered the fried oysters and said they tasted fresh. We also didn't wait too long for the food, but when we got it, it was hot and fresh. The owner was our waiter and he was super sweet and friendly. Overall, this place is definitely a five stars. We will be back! read more

1st time here because it was recommended by someone on a Facebook page. The Asian man who greeted us and waited on us was nice and friendly. The food was good but it was a little on the small portion side for the price in my opinion. We came in on a Saturday so we did not get items off the weekday lunch menu.The restaurant is a mom and pop kind of place like most of the Chinese food restaurants around the Houston area.The chicken in the dishes we ordered were all white meat. I enjoyed my shrimp lo mien the flavor was good. I think the combination fried rice could have been a little more generous in size. The fried rice we ordered seem to lack protein. I personally like to have chicken or shrimp with eat bite. The orange chicken was good but the chicken pieces were cut into such small pieces (not big like in the picture of another yelper on here) and it was a little bit dry. The crab rangoon were actually pretty good. They were made with imitation crab, cream cheese and onions/chives. They were NOT greasy or soggy. Overall, the service was good & the food was good but I am not sure if I will be back to eat here again... The parking isn't great but we found a spot right in front since someone was leaving. read more

Cute family owned and operated restaurant. We had fried okra for $2.99 and there was a huge plate full! Delicious! My daughter and I shared fried fish and fried shrimp and shrimp fried rice.

And the owners cute little daughter (maybe 6 or 7 years old) was sitting at the front reception desk reading a book. You've got to try this place out and support your local business. We will be back next time and try something different! read more

Asian & Mini's Seafood - A mountain of fried fish, shrimp, French fries, fried rice and side salad for only $10! - Seafood Near Me - Cypress, Texas

I like Asian And Mini's Seafood for a few simple reasons. First, they are family owned. Second, the "owner is in the story" and is genuine. Third, the prices are fair and reasonable. Finally, the food is tasty and flavorful. I usually order their Pad Thai, which is consistently wonderful. Please support this small restaurant, which is the sort of place one might easily pass over while driving by and don't be dissuaded by the fact it's situated in a mini strip mall; it's worth giving them a try. read more
