    Szechuan chicken.
    Jan C.

    I tried a new dish today called Szechuan chicken. First thing I noticed is it is a red sauce based dish. Most of the dishes I get tend to be brown sauce based but this one was totally amazing and will probably be my new favorite dish. The hot sour soup is always a hit.The entrée was hot, fresh, had peas, carrots, jalapeños, and chicken. So, so good.

    The lunch special was really good. You get a lot of food for cheaper The wonton soup wasn't that great. Server room temp and very bland The main dishes where very good and served hot All the staff is very friendly and attentive

    Beef L12. Flat Rice Noodle with Beef
    Kathy V.

    I should have known that this was catered more towards non-Asians. Located right next to a Starbucks this restaurant is hardly noticeable. The interior was clean and the service was great, but the food was just not it for me. The sweet and sour pork reminded me of eating funnel cakes as the batter was overwhelming and the oil was oozing out in every bite. The sauce was rather runnier than what I'm used to from other Authentic Chinese restaurants. The flat rice beef noodles was rather saltier than I would like and therefore lacking balance of the flavor I enjoyed from other Chinese restaurants. I definitely wouldn't come back because the food is not to my liking. Maybe you guys will enjoy other stuff from there menu, so don't let me discourage you from trying. I just wanted to let others people with similar tastebuds know, before stopping by and trying.

    Felt a little under the weather so decided to order some egg drop soup and Yelp had this place listed. I placed an online order and it was really simple, I'm a feen for crab rangoons so I added that to my order as well. They provided wonton strips for my soup and they were so yummy! I'm not a fan of SS sauce but it was really good with my rangoons. They called me to let me know my order was ready within 10 mins when the website said 35 mins on a Sunday so I was happy. The girl who was at the register was very nice.

    Chicken egg rolls
    Cindy T.

    This is the kind of Chinese food I remember eating when I was a kid. The chicken and vegetables had a mild brown sauce and was loaded with savory chicken, snow peas, and crunchy water chestnuts. Next time, I won't pay the upgrade (only $1) for fried rice because I think it would taste just as good with white rice. The fried rice was a bit bland and didn't have any bits of egg or veggies in it. The chicken egg rolls were solid; I always favor the packs of orange sauce over the bright red stuff, and fortunately they included some. Will definitely order from them again.

    Nice service and clean restaurant. Loved the hot and sour soup and fried Rangoon. Plenty of low cost lunch specials that I'll have to try!

    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.

She even brought out a small bowl of soup for my baby to enjoy. The waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I don't live close by but will make the trip when the craving hits.

Today was my lucky day because there was plenty of parking spots and seats (although the parking lot is very small). This place is great! I understand the hype for sure. When you walk inside it's just about the smallest restraunt I've ever. Very cozy and cute vibe with smooth jazz playing on a speaker and we got our food very fast. I really enjoyed my time here. Dry Fried Green Beans 5/5- these are the best green beans I have had in my life! I am not exaggerating like I will be thinking about these green beans all week. Do not hesitate to try these. Perfectly salty and good amount of crunch still left. The flavors they used are just perfect. Colorful Beef 4/5- The texture of the beef was so tender and not chewy at all like other places. The flavor was bright and the bell peppers were cooked through well. The issue I had with this dish was the sichuan peppercorns. I was just eating and not really looking at it super closely so I got a mouth full of these peppercorns and wow it was actually horrible. Just beware because the texture of these things are god awful and I think that they should be taken out like how a bay leaf is removed before serving. It was just really intense and it almost ruined the dish for me honestly. Other than that a great dish. My mouth was so numb but worth it. Dandan noodles 2/5- This was my first time trying this dish anywhere and I did not really enjoy it at all. The sesame flavor was really strong and it wasn't really salted at all. Very strange flavor. I will not order this again, however I do believe that the execution on this dish is great. There was a lot of sauce and the noodles were cooked well. I just really wish I liked the flavor of this dish and that's a personal problem. This dish also made my mouth numb but the flavor did not make it worth it. I wanted to like these so badly but I just couldn't do it. I will be back!

    Casual but solid in an awesome location if you are enjoying downtown…read more My niece is a lover of dumplings and fried rice so of course we had to walk over for an early lunch before the Art Car Parade. --- location/vibes--- located in the northwest corner of downtown -- can stop by before bar hoping, catching a show, maybe even an Astros game if you wanna walk just a bit. There was a good amount of seating for that area of town but not a ton! --- Foods--- We really loved the wonton soup and mama's dumplings (gyoza basically). Both had a surprising amount of flavor. Especially the soup as this can be kinda plain at other places. We also tried soup dumplings which unfortunately stuck to the pan so we missed on the soup but the pork inside was lovely.

I enjoyed the BBQ Pork Buns too. For entrées I had the Salt Pepper Fish Slices while my friend went with the Ingenious Fried Beef. The Fish Slices were very seasoned and flavorful, but a bit dry. The batter was good and I really enjoyed the peppers and onions that accompanied the dish. I think a dipping sauce would have helped. My friend enjoyed the Fried Beef. They have quite a few locations around town if you don't want to venture into the downtown area. If you're near the Theater District, Cooking Girl is a great dining option.
