    I'm driving on 1-10 and I see this super small restaurant. Knew I had to try it! I ordered their curry chicken with fried rice. But honestly, it doesn't need rice at all. You can eat it straight up as is and it tastes similar to what Singapore noodles would taste like. They give you a portion size large enough to fee 3 adults. Perfect for meal prepping if your into that sort of thing! I split mine up into 3 separate meals! It's packed full of protein with an egg roll side. Love it!! The service was as if I was eating at a relative. Humble and very kind! You really feel like you're at home here. Will certainly return!

    I frequent this little Chinese café every time I visit Houston. Everyone in my family has been coming here for years. The food is always fresh . They have been in this location for many years and you can always count on satisfying your Chinese cravings after you visit here. When you walk in, it is clean. They do have an area inside with several tables where you can sit inside and eat dinner comfortably. A lot of people come in and pick up their orders or have them delivered to them via the various delivery services, if they choose not to eat there. The menu is huge and there is so much to choose from! Several varieties under each category! They always have dinner specials that will include a complete meal with soup, entrée, rice, and an egg roll. They are located right off of Freeway and easy to get to. You can park right in front of the restaurant, easy in easy out. I can't say enough about the owner as she takes pride in her restaurant. She works there personally and is so appreciative of her customers., This place is always busy and busy means it's good! Im so glad it's nearby our home so we can run over there and cure our cravings at any time! Check it out! I'll leave the website for you right here so you can check out their menu. Go enjoy!

    Food is ok   Is not that great

    Food not that great half was cool. And food gives you an after taste. Service is good. Dumping takes 30 mins to make it. I let you know how or taste ok

    Better than I expected! The presentation was great, the food was tasty, my lunch arrived to my table piping hot and the portions are big. They have a manager's special all day. It comes with an entree, rice (fried or steamed), soup (egg drop, wonton or hot 'n sour) plus an eggroll. The sesame chicken was tender and the sauce was very good. The eggrolls are great! They actually taste similar to Jack In The Box eggrolls - which I love! The space itself is a little bland. Some paper lanterns hang from the ceiling, but that's pretty much it for Asian decor. They have a soda machine with Coke products and lemonade. Tea and water are also available. I will definitely be back when it's cooler outside. I love Chinese food in the colder months.

    First time at Cafe Chopstix, the menu and food is eerily similar to General Joe's Chopstix. Not sure if these restaurants were affiliated at any point. I will say while General Joe's has gone down significantly in food quality, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and preparation of Cafe Chopstix. Tried the wonton soup, chicken egg rolls, crab puffs, and triple spicy chicken. The chicken is cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Only downside is the restaurant is closed on Sundays, which is typically my Chinese takeout night.

The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

My friend Aurora wanted to meet Donna early dinner and gossip session and she really liked this place. (We tried having a team lunch at the Rice Village location during the cold front last Oct but they had no heat so we opted for a warmer place but she grabbed a to go on the way home) Here we are for a late lunch 3:45 pm on a Friday. Parking was none had to drive around the block and saw some movement and bam, someone was leaving. We ordered at the bar, staff was super nice and opted to sit outside. Did not realize they deliver to the table. Order: Mongolian beef combo with fried rice and egg roll $14.99 The food comes in takeaway style containers. Win. Mongolian beef (2.5/5) - slightly over sauced for me; beef was pretty tender and there were carrots and edamame which is not the standard so maybe that's what makes it fusion? Fried rice (3/5) - standard style fried with small pieces of bean sprouts which I love so that was a nice surprise Egg roll (3/5) - I assume it was chicken because I didn't realize there was a choice) - it was crunchy and soft on the inside which I like, and pairs well with sriracha (did not eat till I got home) They seem to do a whole lot of take away. The staff were nice and hard working. I was excited when they first opened bc they had chow fun on the menu and being HK Cantonese, I love that dish but when I ordered it the 1st and 2nd time eight years ago instead of bean sprouts they had cabbage and that alters rhe flavor tremendously. I see why it's popular among the people but just don't think it is for my taste.

She immediately asked what we wanted in a rude tone, which set an uncomfortable atmosphere from the start. There was a sign on the table advertising a "free appetizer" if you take a photo and tag the restaurant on social media. I followed the instructions exactly as stated, but when I mentioned it, the server initially refused to honor the promotion. After I pointed out the sign, she appeared upset and walked away. I saw she went to speak to another employee and cracked a smiled and looked over. She later returned and offered a small discount instead. The issue wasn't about the money or the discount, it was the principle. The promotion was clearly advertised, and I simply followed the restaurant's own policy. It was disappointing to feel like the restaurant was reluctant to honor something they were actively promoting. I hope management addresses this because customer service and consistency with advertised promotions make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
