Having a hard time trying to decide if this restaurant was "just fine" or "I didn't like it." I…read moreliked the beef flare noodles the most which I feel like isn't even a dim sum dish. Overall, I felt like the steamed food was over steamed or something. Ordered: - Ha Cao: every time I tried to remove it from the tray thing the insides would break free from the outside. - Chicken Feet: I strongly dislike how they cut their chicken feet into two halves. I really don't get the point because there's truly no benefit. It is an unnecessary step on the kitchen end. On the food consumer end, I felt like I was getting bone fragments from the central foot making it hard to eat and less enjoyable. In addition, I felt like the skin also didn't come off as easily as other chicken feet I've had. I usually can finish a serving chicken feet by myself but I was unable to this time. - BBQ pork bun: it was fine. could use a bit more filling in my opinion. - Steamed Rice Roll: slightly on the thicker end of what I usually like. Not sure if they do this for all table sizes but they do an automatic 18% tip on your bill. We were a table of 4. Order style, not cart pushing cart style. Overall had a decent sized menu.

There's a lot of choices for Dim sum in Houston, and we had heard good things about Ocean Palace…read more Happy that we weren't disappointed and we were impressed by the friendly service and great food. Even when it was busy on Father's Day morning, the staff did a good job of managing the crowd. Inside is a very grandiose and expansive dining room that was busy but not overly loud or uncomfortable. Immediately, the famous dim sum carts are coming your way with a fresh assortment of classics. My personal favorites were the fried taro ball and the shumai which were great, along with the duck. Overall, we were mostly satisfied with everything, and we noticed that staff were very accommodating to large groups and others. Every server we encountered at the carts was very kind and we left very satisfied.

Great spot for dim sum!…read more Service was active and friendly. Maybe too friendly. They have some of the carts coming around but we ordered from the paper/server instead. Everything tasted fresh and rivaled some of the better dim sum places I've been in other cities. It got very busy very quickly. So expect to wait a little while at prime times, even though it's a pretty big restaurant. Recommend trying it out if you want some good dim sum.

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.

They have the dim sum carts and you can also order off the menu. They staff are quick to refill teapots and take out empty dishes. The ha Ka0, siu mai, black bean clams, salted whole shrimps, crispy taro rolls, cai lan, black sesame buns, and hot tofu dessert are all good. It was $200 pre tip for 6 and I gave them a big tip because the team did a great job given how busy they are. They also bring the machine to you so you can pay by card easily now. Highly recommended! Staff thank you on the way out and I thought that was kind. We had a nice family time today and left full and happy.

Made us seat at a table in the very back of the restaurant by the bathroom. While two separate party came consisting of two people each, and they were able to seat at a table for 8 on either side and order their own respective food. Also, did not give us any of their proper chopsticks like the other patrons had and gave us thin, flimsy to go chopsticks. The food was bland. We said we can eat spicy, but none of it was spicy, and to top it off there was a roach type bug that suddenly crawled out. Will never go back here.

My BF told me this place has incredible food for great value…read more Beef Noodle Soup - This is only $10? The value is as incredible as the flavor. Goodness, can we have one open near me? Very hearty and not too spicy. The broth is rich with a refreshing relish tang. My BF and I shared a bowl because there was no way I would've finished it on my own with everything else we ordered. Chicken Dumplings in Beef Soup - Seems to use the same broth as the Beef Noodle Soup. Not my personal favorite because the dumpling wrapper is a bit too thick, but it's a small miss considering how fond I already am of this place. Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings - How is this place making money? These things are massive and deliciously oily. There's a clean Maillard effect on the bottom that adds so much flavor. They also have an interesting fold--I've never seen dumplings shaped quite like this before. The pork flavor comes through strongly with the classic scallion combo. Steamed Bao Bun - Yaass, reliving my Chinese drama dreams. These weren't as sweet as the commercial ones, which I personally prefer. Still, I reckon this is how they tasted in those shows, so I'm stoked for the experience. Now, will I say this is the absolute best dumpling place in Houston? No--but there is something undeniably attractive about this place, and it is fundamentally delicious. It embodies one of the best versions of a classic mom-and-pop restaurant, serving homemade food that isn't perfect but reflects craftsmanship and care beyond the appeal of modern restaurants. My dumplings weren't wrapped with perfect precision, nor were they the pinnacle of healthy eating. They were just blatantly delicious--like when your mom cooks your favorite meal on a weekend night. That's why I would come back. This place represents the most authentic form of home and freedom in food. The downside of all the carbs I ate is that I had to volunteer at my local theatre afterward, and I was crashing haaaaaard while sending this place so much love.

Despite being one of the country's largest Chinatowns, Houston constantly surprises me with how…read morelimited the regional Chinese variety is throughout the city and especially along Bellaire Blvd. Among those cuisines, the Fuzhou scene has been scarce and with the recent closure (and subsequent mourning) of Yi Zhang (#1), I've been on a quest to find any place that offers Fuzhounese / Fujianese / Fukinese food of any kind. Enter the China Gourmet, which I thought was the old Taiwanese / Minnan cuisine spot (#2) aka, 喜富來台菜餐廳 but transferred ownership nearly 2 years ago. The English name remains the same, but the Chinese name has changed to 福州风味小吃 (#3) which roughly translates to Fuzhou's Local Flavor Snacks. It is located on the outside corner of Dynasty Plaza Mall, adjacent to the way more popular Le Lai Restaurant (#4). This isn't a place for everyone. It's a bit divey, cash only, probably not even date friendly, no restrooms or utensils beyond chopsticks, slow and steady service, and is not the most approachable establishment for folks not savvy with these foods. There is no pretension here and hardly anything fancy. Basically ... my kind of place. This is the kind of eatery I would have expected to see in a place like NYC, where the largest community of Fuzhou folks live in the world outside of China. The old school divey ambiance is still in play, except in a much larger space that sits empty almost every time I've ever been here. It's currently being run by a Fuzhounese couple, who left NYC in search of more simple pastures and somehow ended up here in Houston. (#5) Most of the patrons are Chinese, with a handful that can actually converse in their mother tongue. Mandarin should be enough to get by, even if English is somewhat limited. Don't let any of this deter you, because this place is as real as it gets. There are no QR codes or menus on the table, just point at the menu on the wall, which is also a picture menu. There are an array of Fuzhou style dishes that range from small plates to noodle soups. All of it is super legit. I enjoyed their classic peanut noodle (拌面), which was excellent. It's a small portion and practically double price wise in NY, but still worth it for my tastebuds at $4. Their fried taro (芋頭糕) was greasy, but definitely had the right flavors. The staple of Fuzhou food, their meat stuffed fish ball (魚丸) was so juicy that I think I could have easily eaten 10 of them. The accompanying soup had a nice aromatic flavor to it, which would be perfect for colder weather or broth-lovers. They are the only place in Houston that serves Fujianese style XLB (小籠包), which is more akin to the baozi where the term originates from, rather than the soup dumpling that most people are accustomed to. The meat is a different kind of pork-based meat chives and more of a gravy than a soup. The gravy gets soaked in by the bao and the splash effect isn't going to be there. This is the same filling for their crispy bun version of shengjian bao (生煎包), but is okay as a first time dish. Folks looking for more savory choices might enjoy their stir fried mix seafood / pork noodles (海鮮炒肉面) or their rice vermicelli version (海鮮炒粉​干). Soup / stew enthusiasts will likely enjoy their dedicated section of the menu (炖罐系列), which is a variety of mushrooms, ginger, and seafood / meat protein. folks with an adventurous palate can shoot for their beef offal or their tripe (which they've dubbed hilariously as "cattle slippery") (牛滑捞化). Their sea oyster cake (海蛎饼) and peanut gnocchi (花生汤圆) are both unique Fujian dishes / desserts that I've not seen anywhere in the neighborhood. China Gourmet 2.0 is now going to be part of regular rotation of frequented eateries in Chinatown. It is hardly a destination for most folks, but anyone looking for a little taste of Fuzhou in Houston should come here ASAP. ____________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/YCxVafMZNtdc1H2AYEzPnw (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/xbN_R--xSa5wKZKfHkgzIQ (#3) 簡體字, 繁體字, 大家都接受 (#4) https://www.yelp.com/biz/le-lai-houston (#5) This story sounds so oddly familiar ... oh I know, it's me too!
