    Close up of the same H2 Pheasant Soon Chicken  Fried rice Scallion Pancakes Pork Eggrolls
    Shawnette B.

    Ordered for the first time today. We had the Chicken Lettuce wraps (it's called H2 Pheasant Soong Chicken) Pork Eggrolls, Scallion Pancakes, Fried Rice and We absolutely LOVED!!! And after we BOTH ATE, there was STILL a full bowl of the chicken mixture left (Chicken breast, Colored Bell Pepper, Mushrooms, Water Chestnuts Onions and a sauce.) For round two for dinner!

    Combination fried rice.

    League City, you have yourselves a mighty fine Chinese eatery. For the life of me, I don't know what took me so long to check it out. Better late than never, right? My younger brother and I ate lunch here, and we, as the only customers during the post-lunch hour lull, were impressed with the awesome quality and solid quantity of our food. We started with steamed pot stickers, which contained chewy, tasty pork filling. Then, we had the combination fried rice, Szechuan style sliced pork, and salt and pepper shrimp. All three dishes were really exquisite. I'm a huge fan of the fried rice. It was riddled with nicely cut chunks of chicken and pork. There was so much rice to where it could be its own meal. Matter of fact, we took two styrofoam containers, not counting the takeout order. Take a bow, Bao's. Plan to get used to having me as a regular diner.

    I have only eaten once before and that was during the pandemic so thought I would try again. I got orange chicken and it was delicious.

    Food had no taste. Order Wonton soup with clear broth and dumplings with no green onions. Fried rice is just brown rice with no onions.

    Great breakfast this morning at Main St Bistro after church. This was our second time here…read more Same friendly service in a very comfortable setting. They had a lot of daily specials to choose from. We both ordered from the brunch menu. I ordered The Alamo. A breakfast bowl Cheesy Hash browns, Bacon, Sausage and Ham covered with Gravy and Three Over Easy Eggs. My wife ordered the Le Bistro. Two Scrambled Eggs, Grits Bacon and an English Muffin. Such a great local spot have a meal with friends and family.

    It's really hard for me to write this review & I'm teetering between 2 & 3 stars, BUT kindness goes…read morea long way with me so I'm giving 3. I've been wanting to try Main St. Bistro, so when my sister suggested it for Easter, I was down. We had a party of 7 (5 adults, 2 kids). We got there around 1:00 on Easter Sunday & didn't have to wait long even though it was busy. A man took our drink order. My brother-in-law asked to go ahead & order two appetizers. Our waitress, Natalie, came shortly after, introduced herself & confirmed the appetizers. We were brought 4 small cubes of banana bread, which felt weird since there were 7 of us. My toddler & my niece both had a whole one. The other two were split between 4 adults. My brother-in-law didn't have any. The appetizers came out fairly quickly & were gone just as fast. We finally ordered right at 2:00 after a little wait & indecisiveness. Then my son was done sitting in a highchair. My husband and brother-in-law took the kids outside. They played for a bit & walked two laps around the whole strip center. They came back, still no food. My son had a complete meltdown since he was both hungry & now tired, my brother-in-law asked if there was any way they could just rush my son's food. They did and he started eating, everyone was so hungry that they had some bites of his food as well. My mom went to ask the manager if our food was close to being ready. The answer was no, there was a whole list of orders ahead of ours. The manager was kind enough to bring us some spinach dip & apologized for the wait, explaining she was dreading today because the kitchen wasn't equipped for the Easter crowd. She assured us that they were working as fast as possible & we appreciated her honesty & effort. My mom went to her car & asked us to let her know when her food came. Our food finally started arriving at 3:17, and not all at once. My sister's meal came last. By this time my son was done & was getting restless while we had JUST started eating. The food itself was disappointing. My sister and I both ordered Benedicts. Mine (Boudin Benny) wasn't hot and was mushy instead of seared. Both of our poached eggs were undercooked. My sister's also had a large amount of cream cheese that wasn't listed and didn't taste good. Other issues: my mom's fries were cold, my brother-in-law said his chicken fried steak was no good. He ate it because he was hungry, and while my husband liked his sandwich & was happy with it, his fries were cold. My niece enjoyed her burger. My son's shrimp, fries, & macaroni were all hot and good... likely because they were rushed for him. It was 3:45 by the time we left. They close at 3. We received a 40% discount, but there was also a 20% automatic gratuity added, which some in our party didn't expect. Here's where they earn stars back... Natalie was great! She took great care of us & kept apologizing for the delay. We could tell that she felt bad, but it was not her fault. The manager also came by checking on us multiple times & got us settled as best she could. She brought us spinach dip while we waited & she made sure that my toddler got food very quickly after being asked about it. She did thank us multiple times for our kindness & patience. As did Natalie. I too, was appreciative of the kindness they showed us. Most of us have all worked in food service before & we understand that the wait staff can only do so much. We also understand being slammed in the kitchen & how fast paced they have to work in order to handle rushes. I appreciate the 40% discount... 20% after the tip. This review was based on one trip & I will update my review if/when I return. But this visit was definitely not a great experience & if it weren't for the kindness, I'd be leaving one star.

They have decent space inside, but it's not ideal for very large gatherings. The decor and atmosphere is obviously Italian bistro. Outdoor seating is limited. Their menu is simple and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. Tuscany Bistro, likes most Italian restaurants, does have a vast wine selection. They don't have a kids' menu or make pizza. The only pasta they have is penne pasta, and they don't offer a create-your-own-pasta special. You can only pick a protein you want added to your pasta. I wouldn't get the blackened chicken, because the herb crust makes it very rich. There was only one waitress working while I was here, so our order arrived BEFORE the complimentary bread. Unlike their cuisine, their bread rolls are NOT homemade. There's no desserts on the menu either. Tuscany Bistro is an OK place, but it was not the best Italian dining experience.
