    Princess chicken
    John N.

    Truly a hidden gem to me. I don't usually go out for Chinese style food but this place hit all the right spots. The food was amazing the ambiance reminds you very much that you're in a nice Chinese restaurant. The service was iffy, they brought out the food but never brought out bowls or rice. So my group had to wait about 10 mins just for them to bring out the rice and bowls. Thats the only negative I can say. My favorite dish I had was the princess chicken. The flavor of the chicken was the best I've ever had with this variation of this dish. If you like hainanese chicken or similar to it you must get the princess chicken.

    East Wall Restaurant on Bellaire. An incredible opportunity to put together a dinner for 10 for Chowhound Dana LeJeune's visit. The food kept coming. All we said was "dinner for ten". The food just kept coming. I learned that seafood is often a focus as is considered celebratory cuisine.

    Fish filet with vegetables

    The restaurant is not very big, the the ambiance and decor were very nice. Parking can be a big problem if you go there during busy hours. Fish filet--excellent, very tasty, texture of the filet was just perfect. Vegetable (dou mil) was very tender, not tough or stringy. Salt and pepper tofu cubes--very good. Roast duck--very good and very tasty. It almost taste like Peking duck, but costs a lot less. Vegetarian chow fun--it is o k . Should have more toppings like black mushrooms , mixed vegetables--not mainly bean sprouts. General Tao chicken--very tasty but the coating is a little too thick for my liking. I feel like I am eating more batter than chicken. The service was fast enough, cuz there were only 3 other tables in use. Overall, the food was very good and the presentation was also very pleasant.

    Fish, beef, crispy Beef Pan Fried Noodle with Vegetable, eggplant with shrimp
    Alex S.

    Ordered here for a mini lunar new year feast! Everything was very tasty and affordable- the shrimp stuffed eggplant was delicious as well as the whole steamed fish- the only thing I could pass on were the soup dumplings- good but nothing special. Last time our mandarin class ordered lots of stuff from here and the braised pork belly and sweet and sour chicken were SO flavorful and good

    East small restaurant is known for their Cantonese Chinese food. We arrived as a party of six around 7:30 PM on a Saturday evening and we do not have to wait for a table. Although we did have to wait about 20 minutes for food after we ordered. Overall, the vibe is lively, service is friendly in the food is decent. I would recommend the eggplant dish, stirfry noodles and the salt and pepper fish.

    Place is clean staff were very friendly. I ordered the kung pao chicken, combo chow mean, and custard buns. The chow mein was nice and crispy and had beef, shrimp, fish balls, and imitation crab meat. The kung pao chicken had a lil heat to it and was flavorful, but lacked the peanuts. The custard buns had a strange consistency. The custard was runny and had sugar grains in it, wasn't very enjoyable. Overall the place is nice, I'd return to try other things on the menu.

    Peking Duck
    Hoonie K.

    My daughter and I had dinner here last night. She wanted Peking Duck so we specifically picked a restaurant that had good reviews for that dish based on other Yelp reviews. The restaurant is located within a huge (must be over 50+ restaurants/shops), very busy busy within Chinatown. Parking can be challenging at times. The decor is a bit dated, but overall pretty clean. The service was very good. We had: Peking Duck (5/5) - Very happy we came to this restaurant for this dish. One of the best we've ever had anywhere. If we craved Peking Duck, we would definitely come back. Xiao Long Bao (4/5) - This was our 2nd favorite dish of the night. A good version of this traditional dumpling dish. Hot and Sour Soup (3.5/5) - Was okay, decent version of this soup. Steamed Prawns w/ garlic and vermicelli (2.5/5) - For me, this was a miss. The "prawns" are just medium-sized shrimp. Pretty flavorless dish overall with a hint of sweetness that wasn't great. I would definitely not order again. For anything other than the duck, we would go to other Chinese restaurants. But we would come back for the duck!

    Mustard Greens with salted and preserved eggs
    Candy C.

    Good food, service was friendly and accommodating. The dining space is small but they managed to fit all of us on to 4 tables of 10. Of course for a party that size you need a reservation. Parking is a pain but there is a garage if you don't mind walking. Food was tasty. We started with roasted duck, chicken, duck feet with mushrooms and chinese broccoli, bitter melon and eggs, mustard greens with salted egg and preserved eggs, steamed fish with olive and steamed fish with soy sauce and lobster with Noodles and mix vegetables. All in all a very tasty meal.

    Peking Duck
    Patricia T.

    I think I found my new favorite Chinese restaurant. I found this place on Yelp, really didn't too much of it. But man was I wrong. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is impeccable. Jamie, went above and beyond trying to find out what chicken I wanted. I told her I had this really good chicken in Virginia, and with my limited Chinese, I couldn't differinate between the two types of chicken they had on their menu. She was so patient and took the time to hear me describe and look at my photos, really wanting me to get *the* chicken I had desired. She explained what was what and how they cooked it. I swear, us talking about chicken was probably over 10 minutes. In the end, the chicken we thought was it, wasn't what I had in mind. So we ended up ordering other dishes: peking duck and xiao long bao. Jamie randomly came back and showed her phone saying she found the chicken I was talking about. Man, she really tried to investigate for me, even after we had ordered! I don't know if she's the manager or not but Jamie is truly the best. Now I've had peking duck at various places before but this one beats them all. The skin is so light and crispy while maintaining its flavor. The meat itself is thinly sliced to perfection. Writing about this makes me want to go back already. The soup dumplings were good as well, but the duck is the main star. For desert we had the fried buns, it's a change from the usual steamed buns so I quite enjoyed it.

    Absolutely delicious. The server was super sweet, and the restaurant is cute. Would definitely come again!

    Pan Fried Noodle, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Sweet And Sour Chicken
    Hi’ilawe A.

    The food was good. Portions are good enough for 3 people maybe not too bad i guess. The food tasted good and was pretty quick. Walnut shrimp had an interesting flavor i couldn't tell it i liked it or not. I also got the shrimp dumpling which was pretty good. The custard bun i would not get again.

    Marisa H.

    Our server Jamie was WONDERFUL! The food was incredible too, excellent prices. It was really the service though that put our dinner over the top. I ordered the walnut shrimp (amazing, highly recommend) and it was easily the best I've ever had. Ambience is also really lovely. White table cloths and romantic lighting. We will definitely be back to see Jamie again!

    I've been coming to East Wall for several years now and always have a great family style meal here. I have fond memories of coming with my dad to enjoy the Peking duck and when they made me a believer it is truly #1. The service is attentive and may get a little challenging when it's busy but they will come around and check on you. We've celebrated birthdays, holidays, and just eating with friends days here. They do allow BYOB with a corkage fee and we've seen plenty of parties bring in cakes to celebrate as well. Parking can get tricky but there are garages in that plaza.

The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are.

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 knew it'd be busy since it's a Sunday and Father's Day. But there were groups and groups of people standing outside and inside. I checked in at the kiosk and apparently there were 34 people ahead of us. I was starting to think we wouldn't be seated till at least an hour or so, but surprisingly we only waited for 20 minutes. The server and employees pushing the carts were all friendly. I'd be honest though, when we were first seated I felt like there were a bunch of carts, meaning lots of selection. But after 10 minutes, it was hard to even find one person. So really, you don't got much to choose from. I think it'd have helped if there was a menu at the table, that way we can order more and see what else is there. The shrimp shao mai and crispy shrimp crab claw was top tier. Please do not leave without giving those two a try! You can skip the pan fried pork & chives dumplings. That was a letdown. I think food wise, I prefer Fung's Kitchen over Ocean Palace.

I can't speak on their normal course of business, but I just came here for my aunt's 90th birthday celebration as well as a company dinner, which featured a delicious king crab prepared three ways. The service was very attentive in our private room settings and the food was good. It's really the ambiance that sets this place apart. One thing that really has always prevented me from coming here is the price. It is the most expensive in town and while there are plenty of options that aren't as good, well, there are options. And at this point, I'm sure that is the crowd they are going after. So if you are wanting to celebrate something or you are wanting to step up your dimsum game, come on over. I'm sure we'll be back for a large family gathering at some point.
