    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.

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.

    I will be quite honest with you that I really have no experience with Malaysian food. In point of…read morefact, I've bypass this restaurant numerous times simply assuming that it was Chinese. It is anything but in point of fact, it is in my estimation, a unique culinary experience. I don't write from the perspective of comparing this food to other Malaysian dishes that I've had in point of fact to the best of my recollection I don't think that I've ever had Malaysian cuisine. But if this restaurant is an example, I have missed a great deal. The food is very unique the servings are very gracious charitable. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the distinction of this particular cuisine and given the portions and quality of food that is served. The service is quite simple and the restaurant is actually quite small. However, I must tell you from A service perspective. It's truthfully amazing because the takeout business is extremely active. Not to mention the fact that the chef walks out and speaks to people will share anything that you want to know about Malaysian food and obviously from the quality of the food that I ate not only is his explanation thorough but my guess is his skills are incredible. As I said it is very small so it's difficult to Alpine about the ambience other than it was quite clean and given the number of whom I suspect were Malaysian people it's obviously quite popular within that community. So I take that to be a sign that this food is quite native in nature. I had a pork meal, which is only on Sundays. I spoke to the chef about it, and he explained that the preparation started one day in advance of actually serving the meal, so I understand why it is only served once a week. Although I must tell you because I lack familiarity it seemed to me that I would be hours and hours trying to replicate any of the dishes. All I can tell you is this if you are in an exploratory mood for a cuisine and have had or have not had Malaysian before I suspect this is a place to go. Quite informal, extremely fair pricing very generous portions great service very pleasant people and frankly it's a a family affair of what you will see many when you go. Quite a lovely experience.

Service was spot on, quick, and we got our food in what felt like maybe a few minutes. We started off with pork dumplings for the kiddo, which he INHALED in moments. For entrees, we split the orange chicken and the Spicy/Numbing Pot. The orange chicken was spot on. The sauce was sweet but not painfully sweet or thick/clumpy. Really nice orange flavor and tender chicken. So much fun eating it since it is gluten free! Our kiddo also devoured this dish! Mild - not spicy at all! The Spicy Numbing Pot, while a little oily/greasy on the bottom, was still delicious! I appreciated that it wasn't knock your socks off spicy - it had a solid kick, and so flavorful. I love eating dishes with Sichuan Pepper; it has a lot of flavor, and the tingling is so much fun. This dish was perfect with some rice, and it wasn't too heavy for the middle of the day. The prices were really reasonable, and there was enough food for leftovers which we ate later that night. Our only regret is not getting the duck appetizer, but we will be sure to get it next time. We can't wait to go back, and Tiger Noodle will happily be in regular rotation for our family! You can't go wrong!

We ordered couple dishes family style: Stir fried cabbage - 5/5, surprisingly my favorite dish of the meal. The cabbage was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crunch, the subtle numbing pepper added a refreshing and addictive kick. Simple but perfect. Salt and pepper crispy seafood - 4.5/5, the runner up for me. The seafood was fresh, the batter was light and crispy, and the salt and pepper seasoning was spot on. Peking duck two way - 4/5, the duck is roasted well, however, the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste. Instead of the usual low effort duck soup, the duck came with salt and pepper duck carcass which was crispy and delicious. Egg tofu with dried scallop sauce - 2.5/5, this was pretty bland compared to other dishes and didn't stand out. The service was a bit slow, probably because we had a late lunch, close to staffs' midday break. That said, the staffs were friendly, and we really enjoyed the food.

    Atmosphere: Modern Food Overall: Scant on major components…read moreof the dishes Price: $$ Customer Service Overall: Ok Recommend: No The restaurant is clean and has a nice, modern Hong Kong-style atmosphere. The dining room feels bright and spacious, with traditional Chinese design elements, wooden tables and chairs, decorative partitions, and an open kitchen where you can see some of the activity going on behind the scenes. It has the lively feel of a busy Hong Kong food hall while still looking polished and well maintained. As far as the food goes, I thought the prices were on the high side for what we received. We ordered the spicy green beans with ground beef, but unfortunately there was very little to almost no ground beef in the dish. We brought this to our waiter's attention, and he had to speak with the owner about it. Eventually, they brought us a small cup of cooked ground beef to add to the green beans. I appreciated that they tried to correct the issue, but simply adding separately cooked beef wasn't the same. The beef didn't have the seasoning and flavor it would have had if it had originally been cooked together with the green beans. We were also already more than halfway through our meal by the time the replacement beef arrived. The sizzling black pepper beef was probably the better dish. There was a descent amount of beef, and the black pepper sauce was tasty. However, the pieces of beef were very chunky, and we weren't provided with scissors or anything to cut them into smaller, more manageable pieces. We also ordered the pepper fried shrimp with crispy rice. There was very little shrimp in the dish, especially considering the price. Taste-wise, it was fine, but nothing particularly memorable or something I would go out of my way to order again. Service was mixed. Our waiter seemed a little slow when it came to taking our order and especially when resolving the issue with the missing ground beef. On the positive side, several of the other waiters were very attentive. They stopped by our table to ask how we were doing and whether we needed more water, which we appreciated. Overall, Hong Kong Food Street has a clean and attractive atmosphere, but the food felt overpriced for the portions and execution we received. The sizzling black pepper beef had good flavor, but the other dishes were underwhelming, especially considering the prices. With better portion consistency and faster handling of customer concerns, the experience could have been much better. For the foregoing reasons, I would not return to this restaurant.
