    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Cw you later

    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.

    It was okay. I might go back. The fried shrimp was okay. The portions though were too small compared to other places.

The menu can be a little overwhelming but they do have some popular options for you. I got a recommendation from a friend and tried the red bean jelly milk and it was delicious. I've never had this at any other tea house before. But surprisingly the flavor combinations were great and I loved the rich flavor of the red beans as a drink.

Wanting to give Wanpo the benefit of the doubt, I asked if it could be remade because it was a $8 drink. The worker, whose name I believe is Eric, SNIFFED my drink through the straw and said that it's Sugarcane and gave it back to me.....He then said he wouldn't remake it because it smells like it...Huh..? I walked out in shock because, what? Out of all the boba spots that I have been to, never has anyone smelled my drink. In fact, I used to work at a boba shop and never has it occurred to me to smell a drink and not remake it for a customer. Like, I don't know what methods you use to confirm ingredients but you couldn't even take the drink to the back to smell it? You did it in front of my face? I don't ever ask for drinks to be remade unless it tastes nothing like I ordered, I just go about and let it be but this genuinely appalled me. I go to Wanpo and I enjoy their Mango Sago drink but this experience has led me to never come back because... are you serious?

    My friends and I came here for an after-dinner drink. They are known for having different types of…read morejellys along with the expected boba. I LOVED the variety of jellys! So by jellos, it's basically jello. And you can ask for sample before picking a jelly/jello for your drink. Notable samples were; Sesame which had a grainy texture to it but I still liked it. The thai tea jelly was amazing and strong!! The milk tea itself was as expected. The strong point was the jelly/jellos. I really like the furniture since it was all velvet and almost gave that sophisticated feel but it was kind of broken up by all the claw machines and the claw service corner. The ambiance is a weird mismatch. The items in the claw machines looks like knock offs and I had NO desire to even try. Overall, skip the claw machines, try the jelly/jello samples, enjoy the vibes on one side the room and maybe ignore the other side. Free parking out front.

The jelly was a little hard to eat with the straw, which was a little disappointing. We also got the signature tea waffles, which were okay and not too sweet.

It's not the first time that either of us had a green tea, but this one had no sweetness, and it was really hard to eat the crystals that they had cause it also seemed like the lychee was not peeled all the way, so it was like you're eating fruit skin while drinking your drink. My other friend got a milk tea which she really enjoyed so I think if we ever go back, I would try maybe their drink that has coffee in it and not just a green tea with something. It's really strange how you order your drinks because they have a kiosk upfront and it tells you to order there but they also have people at the counter to order. We tried to order at the kiosk and it wouldn't take the card so we had to order at the counter with the lady and they use a intercom type speaker to talk to you through the glass and then when your order comes up, it's like you're in a train station. It's very loud and very strange and I don't think it's actually necessary if people just use their regular voices not a very relaxing place.
