We ordered food To-Go; order was ready within 2 minutes of agreed pick-up time at 5:15pm…read more Portions are very large and both were good.

I discovered this joint when they opened a location in League City. Fat egg rolls. Delicious hot &…read moresour soup. And everything else was flavorful. It was an excellent little takeout Chinese place. But they sold that location and just operated their main store in Texas City -- which was still worth the drive from Seabrook (seriously). We like to travel around and try different places, but we always compared every neighborhood Chinese takeout joint to Qing Qing. Sadly, I don't think we'll be going back anytime soon. This past weekend, we burned some gasoline to go pick up an order of steamed dumplings, sesame chicken and hot & sour soup. Oh... and some plump egg rolls. When we arrived home and unpacked the bag, we were extremely disappointed. Though the service was quick, everything tasted like the kitchen was (too) quick as well. The chicken was as dry as the Sahara Desert, while the dumplings were as mucky as a Louisiana swamp. The soup was OK, though I had to doctor it, but the egg rolls were definitely Sysco ... and not the plump crispy goodness that we had become accustomed to. I wouldn't post a review like this if I thought a business was having a bad day. I mean, we all have bad days. But this was different across the board. Either the place was sold, or the owners went in a totally different direction.

After more than 15 years of passing by Basil House, I finally gave it a try this evening. I had a…read morecraving for Vietnamese that nagged at me all afternoon. There are plenty of Vietnamese restaurants in the area, but I felt Basil House deserves a go. Essentially a hole in the wall, it's located along Palmer Highway not too far from where it meets 146. The building may look small, but the interior begs to differ somewhat. This is the third time I use "Vietnamese," but what's so unique about this eatery is that it also offers Thai dishes. I decided to do both for my first visit; I ordered a Vietnamese grilled pork rice plate and Thai chicken skewers. My orders arrived at my table at the same time, which I thought was nice. Regarding the skewers, the chicken was pretty sizable. It was so tender that it came off the stick after a bite or two. I must admit it was dry, but still a nice way to start a meal. As for the main star of the show, the rice plate, I have nothing but immense love for it. The kitchen staff wasn't stingy with the amount of meat they placed on the plate. Tender just like the chicken, the grilled pork carried a sweet taste that got even better when dipped in the accompanying fish sauce. Oh, I forgot to mention the skewers and the rice plate had cucumbers, which raised the tangy factor. I capped everything off with fried banana and vanilla ice cream. A man who I assumed was the owner of the place acted as my server. He did an outstanding job, refilling my drink and giving me extra napkins. By my estimate, Basil House is the closest Vietnamese restaurant to my house. No need to travel at least ten miles if I want my fill in ice plates, spring rolls, or even pho.

Spring rolls three made sloppy and you get one shrimp sliced in half in each row HORRIBLEread more

I don't really like leaving subpar reviews. This restaurant has been on the island a long time. So…read moreI think some locals feel a bit nostalgic about it. The truth is, I didn't actually enjoy the food very much. Unfortunately, other than Panda Express, I don't think there's another Chinese restaurant here. And I would have rather had orange chicken from Panda Express than the Moo Goo Gai Pan I had for lunch at Happy Buddha. I will say this though, the service was wonderful and the building is quite interesting. Would I recommend? Nah, not really. Would I go back? Maybe, if I knew the company I was going with would be good enough for me to overlook the food.

Happy Buddha is, in my opinion, the best Chinese restaurant on Earth. Their food is great, the…read moreservice amazing, and the atmosphere? Exceptional! Personally, I love the Moo Goo Gai Pan. It's the best I've ever had! Each dish has a unique taste and texture, even when they seem the same. The combos come with egg rolls, fried rice, and sweet and sour chicken or pork, which are all exceptional as well. Not only is their food delicious, but it's also healthy. The Moo Goo Gai Pan even has bamboo chutes! All the waiters a waitresses are really nice, never getting annoyed by the complications of your orders. They even let my very picky brother change out the sweet and sour chicken for soup, and the fried rice for white rice, never even a single frown or glare. Also, everything there looks so authentic! When you walk in the door, there are two happy Buddha statues; one small and gold sitting on a table, and one large on the way to the seating area. Rumor says, if you rub the large statue's belly, you get good luck! The seating places are exquisite as well. They even have a wall made of rock!
