    Food was cold, the selection was poor. First time there and it was an all around bad experience

    I had heard people talking about Grand Buffet before, and they had said good things about it…read more Myself, my husband, and my 10 year old decided to give it a try on Thursday around 11:40am. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived. We were seated pretty much right away. Our server was really nice and took our drink order as soon as we sat down. There was quite a selection of Chinese food as well as some American and kid friendly options like chicken nuggets and cheese pizza. There was also a beef pot roast. My kid liked the egg rolls and the noodles. I had the fried rice, lo mein, puffy chicken, okra, cheese pizza, and the roasted veggies. The okra and rice did need some salt, but I put soy sauce on it, and it was good, same with the puffy chicken. The cheese pizza was good as was the lo mein. Roasted veggies were also good. My husband had the pork and sweet and sour chicken. He said it was good. We didn't have any dessert, but my kid got jello and said it was good. There is also a small salad bar, but we didn't use it. My husband said he wishes that the food at the buffet bar was labeled because it's sometimes a guessing game as to what things are. Restaurant was very clean and staff would clear the tables as soon as people would leave. There were also good at taking away dirty plates when we were done with them. I do wish Grand Buffet had a bit more of an atmosphere. It feels more like a quick pop up restaurant. It needs a bit more decoration or something. It just feels a bit...empty I guess? They did have music playing which helped with the ambiance a bit. I did like that there is plenty of seating though. Staff were all friendly and very helpful. For two adults and a 10 year old child we paid around $37.64 before tip. This was for two adult buffets and a child buffet. I had water which was free, but my husband a kid each had a soda. We will definitely go back to Grand Buffet in the future. It exceeded our expectations!

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

    My mom wanted steamed fish with ginger, scallions, and that light sweet soy sauce. Hu's Cooking…read moredelivered! When we ordered, they mentioned it'll take about 20 mins but it came out in 10. No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.
