    Stir fry flat noodles
    Nicol N.

    I don't even know where to begin because the authentic Chinese food here is SO good! I can't believe it took me this long to try this place. The prices are very reasonable, the staff is attentive and friendly, and every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was clean and consistently busy, which is always a good sign. We brought our dad here for a Father's Day late lunch around 2 PM and were seated within about 15 minutes. We ordered the mapo tofu, chicken feet, har gow, stir-fried flat noodles, walnut shrimp, water spinach with garlic, and my absolute favorite... the Princess Chicken. The Princess Chicken was hands down the best I've ever had! Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I can't wait to come back and try the Peking duck next!

    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.

    In Houston, there are a plethora of Asian places to choose from but we chose East Wall because of their Peking duck. It was tender, crispy and made so well. The walnut shrimp was great but way too much mayonnaise. The dumplings could have been better but the eggplant was the best. Definitely a stop in for Peking duck and the eggplant!

    Food was really good, and the environment was calm. Food came out pretty fast and tasted yummy. One bad thing was one of the menus had the wrong prices so just make sure you got the right menu. But they said they fixed them all! Good service

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Some items that weren't great were their curry fish ball noodle soup and satay beef with rice, which were bland. The coffee and milk tea that I ordered tasted only of tea.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. 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.

Also, the service is phenomenal, but we also speak Cantonese. D5. 化皮燒肉 ROAST PORK If you ran a knife across the roast pork skin, you would hear the perfect crisp crackle. Each order comes with an appetizer-sized plate of roasted pork belly. The crunch on the skin was phenomenal, like a dense and crispy chip. Imagine if they made snacks out of crispy pork skin. The ratio of fat and lean pork meat was perfect, so juicy and rich, yet soft and tender. The roast pork is phenomenal. We loved it. D1. 燒鴨 ROAST DUCK The roast duck skin was flavorful and juicy, complemented by the tender duck that was fresh. The soy sauce-based marinade was delicious, and this is a classic Cantonese BBQ option that you cannot go wrong with. K15. 港式咕噜肉 SWEET & SOUR PORK HONG KONG STYLE This isn't my favorite dish, but the pork was crispy and held a lot of the sweet and sour sauce. I enjoyed it, but it pales in comparison to the others. Still, another safe Cantonese classic that I would recommend. P6. 鞋菌豆腐煲 TO-FU W. MIXED MUSHROOM IN CLAY POT They served it to us in a glass plate, but it was still delicious. Arguably, I think this was my favorite out of all the dishes because of how simple it is, and it's full of mushrooms and vegetables! There was a strong "wok hay" flavor, and the fried egg tofu were hot (it burned the roof of my mouth, but I did not care), soft, and incredibly jiggly. I loved the mushrooms and vegetables which was braised with the sauce. Big yum all around, this one hit home and one of my go-tos. F2. 菜炒牛肉炒河 SAUTEED FLAT RICE NOODLE W. BEEF & VEGETABLE Not a single vegetable in sight, unless you count the green onions and bean sprouts. This is probably one of the most well-known Cantonese classics with its strong "wok hay" flavor. The rice noodles had the perfect texture and there was a generous amount of beef stir-fried in. While it's many people's favorites, it's always a bit too oily that I would like (and that oil is almost necessary for good flavor). I recommend it if you want a safe staple, but I would encourage trying something else. We basically ordered the Cantonese classics and it was so delicious and more than what the 5 of us could finish. I highly recommend this restaurant for Cantonese food. The interior is your typical mom-and-pop restaurant, 80's/90's-style decor. It's not fancy, but the food is exceptional.

The lobster was definitely one of the highlights. It was crispy and flavorful on the outside while the meat stayed tender and juicy, and I loved all the crispy garlic and seasoning piled on top. We also ordered the steamed crab over rice. The juices and flavors from the crab soaked into the rice while steaming, giving it a soft, almost congee-like texture with a nice seafood flavor. I really enjoyed the rice, but the crab itself was a little hard and didn't have much meat. I feel like crab can sometimes be a hit or miss depending on what you get. The sweet and savory pork ribs and creamy walnut shrimp were also really good. Overall, everything was flavorful and great for sharing family-style.

    Vibe: Modern elegant w/ traditional Chinese influences…read moreOverall Food Quality: Excellent Overall Price Range: about $17-$29 (meat), $22-$25 (seafood), $30+ (premium/specialty) Overall Customer Service: Excellent Recommend: Yes Fung's Kitchen offers Cantonese and Hong Kong-style cuisine in a spacious, modern dining room that still maintains an elegant traditional Chinese character. The warm golden lighting, chandeliers, white-tablecloth tables, red upholstered chairs, decorative woodwork, and striking red-and-gold dragon and phoenix centerpiece give the restaurant an upscale banquet-hall feel. Even when packed with diners, the restaurant feels lively and welcoming rather than overly formal. There are about six private spacious rooms which are great for events, birthdays, and/or social gatherings. There's also plenty of parking, which is a big plus. The menu is extensive, and most of what we ordered was excellent. Lobster Mountain -- $168 | 9/10 (based on food quality & portion size relative to pricing) Definitely the showstopper of the meal. Six lobsters are stacked into an impressive, highly photogenic "mountain," accompanied by fries and a crispy dome-shaped taro creation underneath. The lobster meat was tender and juicy, while the crispy exterior was loaded with flavorful garlic and jalapeño. It's an eyeful when it arrives at the table and tastes almost as impressive as it looks. Considering you receive six meaty lobsters plus the extras underneath, it's well worth the price for our party of six adults and three kids. Whole Peking Duck -- $58 | 4/10 Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment. The skin was crispy and the meat tender, but the duck wasn't particularly juicy and lacked the deep savory flavor and aromatic fragrance I expect from a great Peking duck. Given the portion and overall quality, I didn't feel it justified the $58 price. Stir-Fried Beef Flat Rice Noodles -- $19 | 9/10 Outstanding and easily one of the highlights. The beef was tender, the noodles had an excellent smoky wok hei aroma, and the dish wasn't overly greasy. Great portion for $19 and easily among my top five stir-fried beef flat rice noodle dishes I've ever had. Mayonnaise Walnut Shrimp -- $25 | 8/10 Jumbo shrimp with a crispy exterior coated in a delicious sweet-and-savory mayonnaise sauce. The generous portion and quality made the $25 price reasonable. Egg Tofu with Snow Pea Leaves -- $21 | 8/10 The tofu was soft and creamy, while the fresh, crisp snow pea leaves and savory sauce brought everything together beautifully. Very satifying with good portion size. Spot Prawn Sashimi -- $98 | 6/10 Beautifully presented over ice with approximately 8-10 prawns, with the heads and bodies separated. The prawns were fresh and naturally sweet and paired nicely with the sushi sauce and ginger. Quality was good, but at $98, the portion makes this difficult to consider a strong value. Jalapeño Garlic Soft-Shell Crab -- $30 | 8/10 Another standout. The crispy batter was packed with garlic, butter, black pepper, and jalapeño flavor, while the fresh crab inside remained the star. Savory, crispy, and satisfying, with pricing comparable to similar dishes around the area. Service was exceptional throughout our visit. We were seated immediately upon checking in for our reservation, our order was taken promptly, and the food arrived quickly. Despite how busy the restaurant was, there always seemed to be a waiter nearby whenever we needed utensils, napkins, water, or wanted to order something else. Even the co-owner and manager personally stopped by our table to make sure everything was going well--a thoughtful touch that we really appreciated. Overall, Fung's Kitchen was an excellent dining experience. Prices can run high on certain dishes, and the Peking duck was disappointing, but the Lobster Mountain, beef flat rice noodles, soft-shell crab, attentive service, and impressive atmosphere more than made up for it. For the foregoing reasons, I would highly recommend Fung's Kitchen, especially for larger groups looking for authentic Cantonese seafood and shareable dishes.

    4.5 stars Our friends brought us some Shanghai Restaurant…read morefor dinner and we had salt and pepper ribs, house special tofu, beef cubes with mushroom and asparagus, and sautéed on choy. Per our friend, their salt and pepper ribs are the best they've had in Houston, and I would agree. It was crispy, flavorful, and the meat was tender. Yum! Definitely the highlight of the meal. The beef cubes with asparagus and mushrooms was good too. Beef was nice and tender and flavor was good. The house special tofu was a surprise box as it literally had everything in it! There was beef slices, chicken chunks , squid, shrimp, charsu, bamboo in addition to deep fried pieces of tofu. I enjoyed the dish, but maybe because there were too many things in it I would probably try something else next time, before you're not sure which protein you're going to get each time. Sautéed on choy was good as well. I can't comment on the service or ambience since we didn't dine in. However, overall enjoyed the place and would love to return to try other dishes (as well as reorder the salt and pepper ribs.

Don't be fooled by its English name, you will not be eating Shanghainese food here: this is a traditional Cantonese restaurant. In typical Chinese American fashion, we had the "adult" table and of course we sat at the "kids" table. We ordered the classics as pictured. The food is always tasty and consistent. Service is friendly and the even though this spot is no frills, it is a familiar place with a very family-centered atmosphere. You can not go wrong with old reliable. If you are ever craving authentic, traditional Cantonese cooking without the large, dim sum hybrid model, I definitely recommend this place. Perfect for lunch with coworkers, by yourself, and great for larger dinners with the whole family.

Everybody was very friendly and after we ordered, it came out quickly. Food came out hot and ready and was absolutely delicious. We were super impressed with the soups that came with our clay pot rice specifically the ginseng chicken broth was amazing. I loved the clay pot rice. It was cooked to perfection. I love the crunchy rice. Would absolutely recommend again.

The decor is fine but not that spacious and the seats are a bit cramped together. The service on the other hand was swift, some of the staff could be a little friendlier but the one who wasn't too nice, I was able to make her laugh at the end. Everyone including her was accommodating and the food came out in a timely manner. My friend and I started off with their veggie egg-rolls and popcorn chicken and for the main course I got the beef brisket noodles and my got the their veggie fried rice. So what I didn't like was that the main course came out first before the appetizers but not the end of the world. The veggie egg rolls were not that good, the filling was mushy as if it's wasn't fried long enough, yes it came out piping hot but the texture wasn't it. Visually the popcorn chicken looked a bit pale but taste wise it was good. Light crunch and the chicken itself had flavor, I'll order it again. My soup was exceptional, good spice and it was hot in temperature. The meat was also very tender. My friend fried rice was also good and filling. For the price the portions were very generous. Overall, it was solid. Definitely not the best but good enough for me to come back and try their claypot dishes, I think they're known for that. I do see a lot of people ordering the brisket soup which is why I got it. I'll be back in a couple of months to try out more dishes they have to offer.

    This has been a long standing staple in Chinatown, one that I had passed by many times. Well I was…read moretipped off that they have a really affordable lunch special here, so I came here one day to check it out. The dining room was full when we arrived, and there was a very small wait. It was pretty noisy in there with the full house. Between the two of us, we ordered four dishes-- the steamed sole, salt and pepper pork chop, Kung Pao chicken, and beef with gailan. The Kung Pao was probably my least favorite. It was very salty, and the chicken was white meat and a bit dry. The beef and gailan was fine but maybe a bit one dimensional. The pork chops were tasty and a slight bit sweet. The steamed sole was quite nice. It is definitely a fan favorite here and took a bit longer to arrive than the rest of the dishes. Just be wary of the plentiful small bones. Overall a good place I would visit again given the great pricing. I give the edge to Confucius Seafood though for their lunch specials. While a bit more expensive, the dishes are executed better.

Some standouts: the steamed chicken with ginger scallion sauce is outstanding (definitely the best I've had). The chicken was tender, juicy and very meaty. The skin was snappy and not grossly fatty. The salted egg yolk tofu is a must. Beautiful salted egg yolk batter on the outside and soft, silly smooth tofu on the inside. Sweet and sour fish had a nicely balanced sauce that you'll want to spoon onto your steamed rice. This is a very good Cantonese restaurant with plenty of options thay seemed to be enjoyed by many locals.
