    Egg drop soup w green onions-Large
    R B.

    Chow Wok is always delicious and fresh, with quick service every time. We've eaten at the restaurant several times, and it's consistently clean with great service. This is our regular go-to spot for Chinese food. Portions are generous--two people can easily share one dish.

    General Tso's Chicken
    Isaac L.

    Walked in today and ordered General Tso's chicken. To start with, the price came out at around 13 with tips and then on top of that, it was brought out to me fairly quick. The food itself was well portioned but the spice left something to be desired. There was a slight kick, like a baby making its presence known in the womb. With the taste being decent at best, the biggest draw was the fact that after I felt so full that not even grandma on Thanksgiving day could get me to nibble anymore.

    Tried to call and place and order but it went to vm. Got a text right after that they were with customers and would try to call me back. Never did. I placed an order online for a shrimp fried rice, light veggies and soy sauce. Only thing is I wish it was fried harder. It was so fresh and the shrimp were a good size and cooked perfectly. I would get it again.

    I came here about 4 years ago and now I know why I haven't been back! I ordered takeout for myself and my kids. The pepper steak and Mongolian chicken. First of all the Mongolian chicken was spicy! It was for my daughter who's 7 and she took one bite and said "mommy that's hot!" I tasted it and sure enough it was spicy! I've ordered Mongolian chicken several times from several different restaurants and it's NEVER been spicy. The pepper steak the "beef" was very chewy and gummy. The texture of the meat was absolutely disgusting I'm sorry. I'm sure they have some great dishes because they do have great reviews, however today I was beyond disappointed in the quality and taste of my order.

    Amazing customer service!!!! They even checked on me while eating to make sure everything was good! The black sweet tea is soooo delicious! Very clean inside from the tables to the floors. Food came out fresh and hot, order first and they bring it to you. When I asked for a tea refill (free refill was mentioned to me when I paid for the tea) and to go box, they did seem a little irritable but I guess that's okay to look past, maybe they had a lot to do. Will definitely be returning to try them out again. Time of visit: 3:00pm 7/29

    My go-to spot whenever I'm craving Chinese-American. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Matt and Jason are always super helpful when I have questions about the menu. The food is delicious every time I order. My top items are the shrimp egg rolls, wings, orange beef, Singapore rice noodle, garlic seafood fried rice, moo goo gai pan, and lo mein. Overall 10/10 service

    This was a hidden gem! Super reasonable price on their dinner specials. Great customer service. The food was excellent and one of the best Chinese food restaurants I have ever had, no joke. I will definitely be back!

    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.

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!

I had previously visited the now closed Bamboo House on Westheimer and I remember being impressed by the food. I had to make an airport run and decided that it would be perfect timing to stop by this location. I highly recommend ordering the duck ahead of time, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the last ducks when we arrived around 7 pm on a Sunday evening. The waitress was super friendly and upbeat and the restaurant is older but well maintained. You can see where the food is being prepared/cooked and you can see ducks being cooked/warmed behind a glass window. The duck was absolutely spectacular with the perfect seasoned and tender meat accompanied by well rendered crispy skin. I love how the pancakes are paper thin and pair well with the scrumptious duck and other toppings. They also provide sugar and plum sauce as additional toppings which I thought was interesting but not my cup of tea. The duck soup was extremely flavorful and full bodied and went well with the duck. The noodles were also amazing with likely hand pulled noodles served with an abundance of tender beef and vegetables with a little Sichuan kick. I was intrigued by a strawberry chicken dish that I saw on the menu and I plan to try it the time. My diagnosis: hands down the best Peking duck in the greater Houston area!
