    Shrimp Chow Mei Fun
    Andres L.

    I've ordered multiple times from here now. This isn't covering any specific order or day. I'm finally getting around to sharing a few items from the menu I've had now. I ventured out from my usual order(s) and got this Sha Cha Beef Noodle soup to see if it's any good and it's worth it! I think I've now had it at least 3 times...after all, I'm not always in the mood for soup. The bowl is large and you're going to get a lot of noodles and broth. The sauce it comes with I'd best describe as a Chinese BBQ sauce which is what makes it great. It almost sounds like it shouldn't work, but it does. Figured I'd share photos of it in case you're on the fence with it. The Shrimp chow mei fun (normal size not the large shrimp version) and the chicken chow mei fun are also solid go-to's of mine if you want to eat on the lighter side even though they're all generous portions. Since I don't have a photo of it, The chicken isn't "breaded & fried" for the chicken version. We were new to this dish when we first got it...feels like a stir fry cooked dish vs fried. It's a welcome respite. The honey chicken is solid. It's better hot and fresh vs when it's cooled down and thickened up so you might want to eat it fast or split it up with someone. It's not spicy either...and I think I got it with steamed white rice. Hope that helps!

    General Tsao with fried rice and beef lo mein
    Linda T.

    Upon arrival, ambiance is laid back and in a great location that shared a giant parking lot with many other businesses (close to Target). I have been wanting to try this place for years but Chik-fil-a always get to me. Service is as good as it can get for pick up order. The food is just mediocre. I understand the pricing, especially in this area so not much complaint except... I wish the food was better to make it my to go place. Unfortunately, they did not meet expectations of an Americanized Chinese food restaurant. Fried rice that came with general tsao is extremely mushy and underwhelming. General tsao is good but no spice, despite how much dried red peppers they put in it. Beef lo mein is salty and has that Mama instant noodle flavor - not great and not what I wanted in a normal Americanized Chinese beef lo mein. For about $27, I would skip this place and try elsewhere unless I just get general tsao with no rice and make my own rice at home. There are so many great restaurants and to-go restaurants in this area so unless you don't drive and this restaurant is in walking distance to your house, I would skip and spend your money elsewhere even if you're craving Americanized Chinese food like myself.

    Tempura Shrimp

    *Disappointed After High Hopes* I came in excited after reading the reviews and ended up ordering more than usual. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. The sesame chicken was tough and chewy with no crunch or breading. It was completely soaked in sauce, more like sesame chicken soup. The added broccoli was rubbery and felt like a filler to reduce the amount of meat in the container. The BBQ buns were extremely dry with barely two small pieces of meat inside. They were not worth the price. I ended up dipping them in the sesame sauce just to make them somewhat enjoyable. Honestly, frozen grocery store buns are better. The shrimp tempura had no crunch at all. It was soft and mushy, and I could not tell where the shrimp ended and the breading began. It was literally just a grease sponge, completely soaked and inedible. Even the service was strange. A literal child, maybe nine years old, brought the food. That alone made the experience feel unprofessional and awkward. The place itself was not clean. Tables were sticky, the floor looked like it hadn't been swept in a while, and the bathroom was very dirty. At this point, I did not even want to try the egg roll or fried rice. I had no expectations left. The one bright spot was the crab puffs. They were crispy, flavorful, and filled with cream cheese. Easily better than most places I have tried. Spending thirty-five dollars and not even wanting to finish half the order is incredibly disappointing. I really hoped this would be my go-to Asian spot in Cinco Ranch, but sadly, I will not be returning.

    Nice spot to get a lunch special for Chinese-American food. I got the kung pao chicken and I was impressed. It came out super hot and had the perfect spice to it. The lunch special came with a crab Rangoon and a hot and sour soup which were both great. The food came out fast too. I'd come back.

    Honey Shrimp. Yep in the car. Couldn't wait haha

    We love Ms. Berry! I'll start there. We've been frequenting this place since I discovered it on Yelp. Apologizes for my very late review. CW Asian Dishes and Tea Lounge is amazing to say the least. We have found such comfort and delight in the food, the drinks, and the service! The location is perfect and everything is always piping hot and fresh. Since I only eat seafood, I noticed that there was a honey chicken dish but not shrimp so I requested the same thing for a shrimp order and Ms. Berry made it happen right away! Very grateful for this. I have been here for lunch and dinner and every visit is exceptional. Crab puffs, honey sesame shrimp, vegetable rolls, sweet & sour chicken (for mama), fried rice, shrimp fried rice, mojitos- everything is delicious! If you order enough mojitos or other drinks you get a stamp card and on the 10th stamp, I believe you get a free drink. Check them out and definitely say hi to Ms. Berry.

    absoulety great. as soon as i walked in the building i was greeted by worker named dallan. The food. the food took me back to my days in china.. like i was right at home.. ever since i was a child i fell in love with my foods culture... back to yangzhou i went.. abandoned by my own mother in the villages. cw asian cafe i reminisced those days i suffered thus, bringing me closure and goodness. The atmosphere was great!

    Orange chicken lunch special
    Lizzie H.

    So glad I found this place! Their lunch special is an amazing deal. It's a very large portion also. The orange chicken is delicious as they use only white meat. The sea salt foam matcha is a very very good drink. The staff is just so extremely friendly. I love this place!

    I really don't mean to trouble you But my cats wondered if they could cuddle you And then after they're done Let's get Boba for fun Out in Katy, let's go to CW! At first I thought it was just my joke that this was named after the kids TV network and then I look at the TV in here and they have the CW on. Coincidence? Anyway I'm not a huge fan of the place even though the woman is extremely friendly which is largely because the products are not great and the wait time was ridiculous because people kept calling in orders for fake Chinese food ahead of us. Nice job there. However what I will say is that even though the milk tea was one of the less impressive I've had anywhere, the Mojito was pretty tasty and enjoyable and we would definitely come back for that. It was also generous in size and price. So I can't possibly give this lovely lady less than four. Basically a very busy Chinese restaurant that also makes some fancy drinks. Drinks took absolutely ever because the woman was taking phone calls and phone orders and we were the last priority on the list and it took about 20 minutes just to get our order taken. But when she did make the drinks they were iffy. However, she was very friendly despite her cluelessness over how to handle in-store customers over phone calls. Cute little place and we might even come back. Perhaps the weirdest thing about this place is that it is actually named after the CW TV network as far as I can tell because they're playing it all the time. Either that or it's just a weird coincidence and they're taking advantage of that coincidence. In any case, the milk tea is premade, and iffy, and the fruit teas are, well, meh. Now I can't see what my next review is, but it could be worse, I could be Barbara Bush, and I'd have to CW all the time.

The lack of an English sign didn't help, as I figured Yan Kei was all about BBQ (#1) and Yan Tea was something like a cafe, when in fact it was the same place the entire time. Still, the rarity that is Cantonese siu mei in Houston, let alone Katy, makes this place still worth a look. It's always great to see the daily selection of meats hanging near the window to entice folks. They have roast duck, soya chicken, BBQ pork, and a very crispy siu yuk pork belly. I think their 3 meat combo over rice (三寶飯) is the way to go. It's the most ideal lunch option and could also make for a fairly hearty early dinner meal. I wouldn't go too late though, since most of their meats are at their optimal freshness during the early morning / afternoon. It's not that spacious, but it's enough for small'ish groups to dine. Takeout is pretty common here, often with some kind of bubble tea. I'm not particularly fond of the latter, but then again I've never seen a specialty Cantonese BBQ place and bubble tea do either particularly well. Another area that they're solid in is the congee selection. The pork and preserved egg are enjoyable despite the pricetag ($9) and the fish slice congee also gets a thumbs up. Prices are adequate for Katy and the service is good overall. It's worth noting the parking can be a challenge during peak hours and especially on weekends, since this is one of the busiest corners in all of Katy Asian Town. _____________ (#1) Not to be confused with Chung Wang BBQ on the same block.

However, I would recommend making a reservation for larger parties otherwise, good luck getting a table on the weekends! There were many items I couldn't try because of food sensitivities, but they do have dairy free creamer for the milk series. They also mentioned the creamer is soy free, but may have to double check that again next time. We ordered the jasmine green tea - which I highly recommend. It was delightful! They bring out cubes of sugar on the side too. My friend ordered tiramisu (her favorite item at this restaurant) and a mini egg sandwich. I ordered the sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were a decent portion. We stayed away from the high tea because we didn't think it was worth it, it was definitely more on the pricier side.

I like what I like, just as others like what they like. So I wasn't sure what I was going to get stuck with. So on the way to the outskirts of Katy, we stopped in at Ding Tea. Let me tell you how busy this area was on a beautiful Sunday before lunar New Year. There wasn't a single parking space to be had in three different lots. There was traffic everywhere in people. Do not drive well when they're looking for a parking spot. People just stopped in the middle of the parking lot and didn't move. Waiting for someone to walk out of a building. Super annoying. Luckily, Ding Tea is located behind lot of the larger restaurants and the golf course and other super busy areas. There was a parking spot waiting for me out front and it was easy to get in and out. We ended up getting a tea to share, and two to go with us to the party. We also got an order of the popcorn chicken. I wish they would have it a little bit spicier on its own, without having to dip it into things. A little seasoning goes a long way! The staff were also super nowledgeable about the menu, courteous, and efficient. Will definitely be back, but not on lunar new year. So busy!!
