    $3 shrimp
    Sharon S.

    Food is good. Know that the folded paper menu is no longer accurate. I tried to order Shrimp with String Beans. That item is not in the POS system. As a result, I received a generous order of String Beans with $3 of Add Shrimp. That $3 got me three shrimp. I am not happy. If you plan to order take away, refer to the online menu.

    Bug that looks like a roach in my general tso chicken and brown rice

    Please never order from China Cottage. I door dashed from China cottage yesterday 4/26/26. I have a very weak stomach, I was gagging and vomiting too much to talk about my experience yesterday. The thought about what I just experience makes me very nauseated. I was told about this place by a friend and ordered from here several times in the past. I always order the brown rice and general tso chicken. The food got to me still warm and ontime from DoorDash. Since the brown rice box and the meat container comes separately, I normally always mix the brown rice into my general tso meat container. I was eating the food normally and took a couple of bites. After a few bites I looked into my bowl and it look like something like a hair was stuck to 1 side of it, so I picked the meat piece up and flipped it to the other side. Attached to it was a stuck bug that could be a roach . It appears that the bug (roach) was cooked into the chicken! I'm so sick to my stomach still, the health department needs to be called. I don't think I can ever look at Chinese food the same ever again. I'm so disgusted and angry. My heath is involved and I don't play about my food or my health. This is the China Cottage on Westheimer Rd. Get a health inspector and do something about this location. This is unacceptable. DoorDash should also remove this place! I informed DoorDash what happened and also left a review on DoorDash that it doesn't show that it was posted. DoorDash is not serious and is not really doing anything about the situation other than refunding me. Other people are unaware that this place could put your health at risk from being unsanitary.

    SP18 Spicy Chicken
    Dongliang H.

    The lunch price is affordable, the portion is large, and the taste is good. It is perfect as a work meal. I don't care about the service attitude. To be honest, I just come to have a meal and then leave. I don't like to be disturbed while eating, so I think it's okay. The environment Atmosphere? Quiet! I like!!!

    Kung Pao Chicken w fried rice, Combination Lo Mein, Fried Chicken Wings
    Jannah W.

    The food as a whole was okay. The chicken tasted similar to Timmy Chan. Same kind of batter, less crunchy, w Wingdings instead of whole wings. They were okay. The lo mien was reaaallly good, also really greasy, but good lol. I got it mixed, which I usually don't do because I don't like people's beef, but I actually enjoyed this dish a lot. The shrimp, although there were maybe 5 max in the dish, tasted like salt and pepper shrimp. The chicken was chicken and the beef was surprisingly very tender and juicy. I would go back for the lo mien if I was craving some. Now my Kung Pao wasn't as satisfying. It was filled w that chili pepper oil, which made it come off extremrly greasy. In my opinion, Panda Express has better Kung poa. Also, I paid extra for my rice to come fried and it was absolutely gross. The flavor wasn't your usual soy saucey, eggy, fried rice flavor. It was actually kind of off-putting. Didn't like that at all.

    Dumplings
    Jose D.

    My total was $20 for dumplings and an order of General TSO. Dumplings are supposed to be (8) and fried... These are so soggy and not well fried. Plus everything came out.

    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.

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.

I've done Peking…read moreCuisine for years and shifted to Arco for my duck cravings, but if you're willing to drive out to Humble (pretty much anytime you're in the IAH area), you gotta check out Bamboo House for the best Peking duck. And their other menu items are fire as well! We went on a Sunday late evening. We had a 9 pm airport pickup at IAH so it was a perfect opportunity to grab a spectacular dinner and make the 30+ minute drive out to IAH totally worth it. Parking lot wasn't too full so that wasn't an issue. While the neighborhood ain't River Oaks luxury, it ain't too scary either. We kept it simple - ordered a whole duck and Bamboo House Special Noodle with Beef. This place ain't cheap but the food is worth every penny. It was very busy that evening so it's not a well-kept secret but also proves that eventually, Houstonians will figure out where the good food is. The duck was near perfect. They serve the duck with the pancakes (as opposed to the buns like at Arco) which is my preference. The soup that comes with it was also extremely flavorful. And the house special noodles with beef - oh my. I swear it's just one really long noodle so you may be frustrated trying to divvy up the family style bowl, but the labor is worth it. So good... Can't wait for my next airport run so I can sneak in a lunch or dinner at this place. So many other menu items I want to try!

Pork Bao's are normally my daughter fave but the soup dumplings here are her favorite. She could finish an order on her own. The service is always great. As soon as you get in they give everyone a water and a carafe of more water. There is a QR code to order and you place your order on the phone. The order goes straight to the kitchen and you can add as you go if wanted. I always thought that was pretty cool. The owner came out to say hello and ask how everything is. She even brought out a small bowl of soup for my baby to enjoy. The waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I don't live close by but will make the trip when the craving hits.
