    We aren't in Katy much but some friends swear by this place and took us. We went late night before they closed so we had all the staffs attention. They were nice enough to let us know right away what dishes we should order first as they take longest to rotate. Soup dumplings to be specific. So good! This is more of the everybody order lots of things and split it all vibe. So order accordingly for maximum enjoyment! The design and decor of the this place is really cool. Lots to look at and take photos of.

    I love what has been added to the ambiance and menu for this favorite of mine. I will admit that I haven't visited in a long time, but I continue enjoying dim sum and this location. That said, it was a long wait between ordering the food and being served. However, they apologized for the delay and it still tastes as good as they always have served.

    Really good dim sum place when you dont want to drive all the way down to Belaire. They have a pretty good food selection and food is brought to the table fairly quick. The presentation makes picture perfect quality without lacking in taste. Would come back again to try the rest of the menu!

    Har gow and Pork Soup Dumplings

    This is a great little dim sum restaurant! I like the small plate style portions because I get to try more of everything. The Har Gow are my go to with their spicy mustard... AMAZING. My daughter also loves their fried rice.

    Amazing. Ordered the steamed bbq pork buns...soft, not tons of bread so it had great flavor. Make sure to take the paper off the bottom of the buns first...I ate some paper lol. The shrimp chive dumplings (spicy) were absolutely great. Then the spicy Sichuan chicken wings were huge and I thought at first it was over battered but no, these bad boys were all chicken with lots of meat and the spicy kick was perfect. So big tha 2 people can definitely share but so good you should still get 2 orders as you will be craving them later.

    Dim sum with a modern twist! finally trying this place out and I love their heavy emphasis on fried garlic. The classic steamed dumplings were so good - sho mai/shu mai and har gow. the riced rolls with Chinese sausage was different than the usual but who doesn't love sausage? Wasn't a fan of the fried dumplings but was definitely unique. The XLB wasn't a favorite either. Overall, a little pricey compared to Chinatown but as expected since we aren't there! Service was good as well, seriously can't complain. Because they nail the usual favorites I love, recommend this spot if you needed a dim sum place in the area

    Never on this side of town so decided to try a spot in this shopping complex with the hubs. We chose wrong. For the price of dim sum here, you'd first expect a nicer ambience than the corner of a shopping center, bright windows, and food court tables and chairs. We order the 10-12 piece BBQ Pork Char Siu thinking this would be the most filling part to go along with our dumplings based on the picture. WRONG. Very thin, quarter size pieces like I'm enjoying a tasting menu. Mind you, they were delicious little morsels but I still don't think worth the $15. At this point still VERY hungry. The pork soup dumplings come out first, I found these to be sour and the complimenting ginger sauce with it also not great- pass. Finally had the Sichun Spicy Pork & shrimp wontons, these were the best part. The flavor was good, little spice, savory, fresh chive and pork flavor and smooth, consistent texture to the wrapper. Some highlights here but ended up going around the corner for more food since I was still hungry and didn't want to pay arm and leg here for more tiny food.

    If you are looking for Dim Sum in the far west Houston area, Dim Sum Box is a good option. This tiny Dim Sum shack is located in Katy Asian Town. The menu is not extensive like the Dim Sum shacks in Houston Chinatown. But the popular items are there. The restaurant also applies some modern touches to the standard dim sum and hor teas. Overall, our party of three were really satisfied with the food. The dim sum were fresh, tasty, and not saturated with MSG. Table service was extremely attentive and friendly. As expected, prices were higher than Chinatown. We definitely will return.

    Cute small dim sum spot in Katy! The prices are a bit higher than Bellaire prices so expect to splurge here! The ordering system is like usual dim sum spots. After being seated they give you the menus and a order sheet. Then they bring out all of the food. You pay at the counter at the end. The siu mai (shao mai) was the best I've had in Houston. You can tell they are hand made and not frozen bought! So juicy and flavorful. They're also pretty big in size too! The pork soup dumplings were okay. I wasn't a fan of the vinegar sauce. I do like how they're small and easy to eat! The special fried rice was very good! There's Chinese bbq, fresh shrimp, and egg. I love how it came out in a shape of a heart! The rice rolls were good. I wish there were more shrimps in every bite. LAVA BUNS!! - best lava buns in Houston. You really do get the lava out of the buns. Perfect ratio of sweet and salty with a crispy outside layer. I would be careful eating these as it is full of lava custard inside! The har gow were good too! I love how Dim Sum Box uses fresh jumbo shrimp as an ingredient. It makes sense why they're pricier than Bellaire spots. *Not pictured* The fried turnip cake was SO GOOD. This is my favorite dish. The ingredients are fresh and the cakes are thick! I was so exited to eat it i forgot about taking a photo.

    I don't know where people are going to eat in Bellaire that's better than the shumai here- do tell, because I think this place is REALLY good. The BBQ garlic fried rice is my kid's favorite. The lava buns are great egg custard buns. Good flavor in lotus leaf wraps. Love it

    I usually have dim sum in Chinatown, but my parents had a guest in town so we went to Asia Town. Parking was easy as we got there right at opening and secured a table quickly. They have pictures on the menu which is handy and it comes in Chinese and English. We ordered the following food - most of it was mediocre and kind of greasy Pork and thousand year old egg congee - great flavor Egg roll - nothing special Radish cake - ok, but not very hot Fried mushrooms - one of my favorite dishes - batter was light Beef noodle roll - couldn't taste much beef Crystal shrimp dumplings - average Lava buns - they looked pretty but the custard was so runny I couldn't cut it to share I downgraded one star because they forgot to bring our shrimp dumplings out and I had to ask multiple times for them after they got busy. Overall, there are better dim sum places in Chinatown and I wouldn't go back to this place since it was also way overpriced at $6-8 a dish.

    We went to this place while visiting family in Katy. Good variety of dishes, especially since we had some family members who are picky eaters, and not familiar with dim sum. Everything was great. We were a party of eight so we ordered a lot. Our favorites: the fried rice, egg noodles, spicy dumplings, soup dumplings and the fried pork belly. For dessert, you must try the coconut bunnies... they were super cute and delicious!

Alas, we made that trek once again, because my craving needed to be quelled! We were dining with a friend who lives less than 10 minutes from the restaurant, and I told her I envied her and that if I lived that close, I'd dine there at least twice a week! So why the 4 stars this time? So the service, which is usually mid, was quite standoffish this time. We had to flag someone down to request drink refills, and when we asked a nearby server if we could order more food, she fake-smiled at me with daggers and wordlessly got someone else to assist. The male server was gracious, but the rest seemed to not want to be there. And while most of what we had was STELLAR as usual, 2 dishes were under particularly under-seasoned this go-round: the congee with pork had next to no flavor at all, and the pan fried turnip cake - always one of my go-tos - was also under-seasoned and - now that I'm looking at my photo from a previous review, was missing the accompanying sauce. Hmmmmm. The restaurant continued to be hopping, even upon our arrival at around 2:25pm, and when we entered, a few tables were unclean, which is never a good look. I have a solution to help with the heavy traffic and its subsequent service issues: open a second location! ...in The Woodlands :) :) :)

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!

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.
