    Fried Shrimp , Orange  Chicken  and Spicy Shrimp  with mixed Vegetables .
    Gary P.

    Ok, after reading a review, I decided to stop in. I made it 30 minutes before closing. I hope it is not a bad time because she wasn't going to serve the lady that came 15 minutes to closing, but the chef decided he would but limited her to what she could order since I made 4 orders. They were trying to close and go home. I can hear them in the kitchen going back an forth. Neither of us had eaten here before and were going off reviews. It is a mom-and-pop spot, I have passed here many times. The location is good but limited parking. The inside is old and needs a makeover. You can eat in or take out. She wanted me to order based on the pictures, but I asked for a menu instead. It is very quiet this time of night and being the only one in the place. All that really matters is how fresh and tasty the food will be. All was made to order so a bit of a wait. All is good, but next time I will have to ask if they will make it more to my preferred custom licking.

    1. Shrimp with Broccoli
    April G.

    I ordered the shrimp and broccoli combo from Uber eats and the food was prepared really well. I'm from the north east and trying to find shrimp and broccoli the way it is made from where I am from has been the biggest struggle for me here in the Houston area. I've tried numerous places and none seemed to compare except China Wok. The shrimp was cooked just right and the food was fresh and flavorful. The fried rice was also prepared very well. The combo was around $8.50 and came with an egg roll that was also good. This will probably be my new favorite go to Chinese place.

    9. Fried Crab Rangoon 3. House Special Lo Mein 2. Sweet and Sour Shrimp
    Jaisa B.

    Ordered takeout through doordash $60 worth. Got the crab Rangoon's , Sweet and sour shrimp, general Tso chicken , combination lomein and Szechuan beef. For the most part it was a good portion size , but still a little pricey. The chicken was actually pretty good, could've used more spice but overall flavour was good. The beef needed more flavour and less veggies, but it was not horrible. The crab rangoons had really good flavour. The Lomein was filled with meat and nice textured noodles. The sweet and sour shrimp was more like a shrimp tempura, which was new but delicious. Will definitely be trying them again

    I have driven by this restaurant numerous times and never really thought about visiting since there are bars in the windows. However, I was wanting to try somewhere new and close to work one day, so I finally stopped in. The soft spoken waitress gladly explained some of the various differences of the beef dishes on the menu. I ended up ordering a typical item I like, the Pepper Steak, made spicy. Although it wasn't spicy at all. Lunch specials are pretty much $6.55 here and come with a choice of soup, eggroll and either fried rice or steamed. I went with the wonton and fried rice just to try it out, even though I'm not really a big fan of it. The waitress must have came by 3 times to refill my iced tea, which was cool. Only 1 other dine-in customer during a slow lunch hour I suppose. A few customers came in while I was there to get orders to go and someone had the nerve to ask how much is it for 1 chicken wing. The food was about average for a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant, the interior was very clean and service was above average. The food is made to order, so it will come out hot each and every time. Even the eggroll was hot and crispy, not soggy in the least. I'd give this place 3.5 stars if I could. The worst part may be the atmosphere. It's just at the end of a quiet shopping center and if it's not busy that day, it could get eerily quiet, unless she turns on one of the TV's.

    Stopped into China Wok late night (right before they closed) with a mean craving for fried rice & cream cheese puffs, and that is precisely what I ordered!! When I pulled up to the strip it was a little eerie feeling, but they had a security guard on duty making rounds & there want a lot of activity. When I walked in the place was empty, but it was closing time & I didn't mind that at all. The little man jumped up and headed to the kitchen & this pleasant little lady came from the back to assist me with my order. She was so sweet, soft spoken w/ a friendly smile. I ordered the house fried rice (chicken, beef, shrimp), the crispy spring rolls & cream cheese rangoons. The fried rice was some of the BEST I have had in a long time. True fried rice, with the brown coloring so you know there is some soy sauce in there. The meat inside was quality & with great portions & it was still steaming hot when I made it back to my house! The cream cheese puffs were average, but good. The crispy spring rolls were just that, crispy, long and slender in shape & tasty. Overall I love this place, happy to have found my little quick spot for some good Chinese while I'm here in Houston!

    Absolute garbage pay an extra dollar or two and go to a better place please... i ordered the kungpao beef it was salty as hell and it came with about 5 pieces if meat and then my colleague ordered the magnolian beef (lunch special )and i swear ive never seen a more disgusting plate it was literally just onions and 4 pieces of meat and yes we counted them and omg dont get me started on the soup the egg drop soup I recommend yall to smell it before eating it cuz it smelled rotten...nope never again!

    Sweet and sour chicken with fried rice.
    Ebone' W.

    It served it's purpose. I got the S/S chicken and was surprised it came with seasoned fried rice. The whole lunch special was 6.55 which was nice. I'd definitely go back and try something else. Sometimes S/S chicken at places can taste the same.

    This place had such good reviews. I had to taste it for myself.
    Klash H.

    Damn good. The owner is super sweet and the food is on the better end of Americanized chinese. The portions are generous and well worth the drive.

    The best chicken fried rice.

    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.

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. Today was one of those days. The last time I was here there was no ac and not enough seating. This time it was nice and cool in and well as having new seating! This little spot needs to be on your need to stop places!

My favorite dish was surprising the fried rice, with generous portions and slight smokiness. The xiaolongbao weren't my favorite, as there wasn't a whole lot of juice; but hey if you're looking to be health conscious maybe that is a positive.

Today was my lucky day because there was plenty of parking spots and seats (although the parking lot is very small). This place is great! I understand the hype for sure. When you walk inside it's just about the smallest restraunt I've ever. Very cozy and cute vibe with smooth jazz playing on a speaker and we got our food very fast. I really enjoyed my time here. Dry Fried Green Beans 5/5- these are the best green beans I have had in my life! I am not exaggerating like I will be thinking about these green beans all week. Do not hesitate to try these. Perfectly salty and good amount of crunch still left. The flavors they used are just perfect. Colorful Beef 4/5- The texture of the beef was so tender and not chewy at all like other places. The flavor was bright and the bell peppers were cooked through well. The issue I had with this dish was the sichuan peppercorns. I was just eating and not really looking at it super closely so I got a mouth full of these peppercorns and wow it was actually horrible. Just beware because the texture of these things are god awful and I think that they should be taken out like how a bay leaf is removed before serving. It was just really intense and it almost ruined the dish for me honestly. Other than that a great dish. My mouth was so numb but worth it. Dandan noodles 2/5- This was my first time trying this dish anywhere and I did not really enjoy it at all. The sesame flavor was really strong and it wasn't really salted at all. Very strange flavor. I will not order this again, however I do believe that the execution on this dish is great. There was a lot of sauce and the noodles were cooked well. I just really wish I liked the flavor of this dish and that's a personal problem. This dish also made my mouth numb but the flavor did not make it worth it. I wanted to like these so badly but I just couldn't do it. I will be back!

    Casual but solid in an awesome location if you are enjoying downtown…read more My niece is a lover of dumplings and fried rice so of course we had to walk over for an early lunch before the Art Car Parade. --- location/vibes--- located in the northwest corner of downtown -- can stop by before bar hoping, catching a show, maybe even an Astros game if you wanna walk just a bit. There was a good amount of seating for that area of town but not a ton! --- Foods--- We really loved the wonton soup and mama's dumplings (gyoza basically). Both had a surprising amount of flavor. Especially the soup as this can be kinda plain at other places. We also tried soup dumplings which unfortunately stuck to the pan so we missed on the soup but the pork inside was lovely. Pricing was very resonable. ---Service--- to the point -- friendly but limited - ---Overall--- Looking forward to trying more dishes here!

    My friend and I had dinner at Cooking Girl a few months back. It wasn't busy at all on a Thursday…read moreevening. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant and it was uncomfortably warm. I don't remember our server's name but she was nice. I started with a Lychee Martini. It was very good and very strong. For apps we ordered the Scallion Pancakes and the BBQ Pork Buns. The Scallion Pancakes were very good, but once they cooled down, it didn't taste nearly as good. I enjoyed the BBQ Pork Buns too. For entrées I had the Salt Pepper Fish Slices while my friend went with the Ingenious Fried Beef. The Fish Slices were very seasoned and flavorful, but a bit dry. The batter was good and I really enjoyed the peppers and onions that accompanied the dish. I think a dipping sauce would have helped. My friend enjoyed the Fried Beef. They have quite a few locations around town if you don't want to venture into the downtown area. If you're near the Theater District, Cooking Girl is a great dining option.
