    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!

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. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

My friend Aurora wanted to meet Donna early dinner and gossip session and she really liked this place. (We tried having a team lunch at the Rice Village location during the cold front last Oct but they had no heat so we opted for a warmer place but she grabbed a to go on the way home) Here we are for a late lunch 3:45 pm on a Friday. Parking was none had to drive around the block and saw some movement and bam, someone was leaving. We ordered at the bar, staff was super nice and opted to sit outside. Did not realize they deliver to the table. Order: Mongolian beef combo with fried rice and egg roll $14.99 The food comes in takeaway style containers. Win. Mongolian beef (2.5/5) - slightly over sauced for me; beef was pretty tender and there were carrots and edamame which is not the standard so maybe that's what makes it fusion? Fried rice (3/5) - standard style fried with small pieces of bean sprouts which I love so that was a nice surprise Egg roll (3/5) - I assume it was chicken because I didn't realize there was a choice) - it was crunchy and soft on the inside which I like, and pairs well with sriracha (did not eat till I got home) They seem to do a whole lot of take away. The staff were nice and hard working. I was excited when they first opened bc they had chow fun on the menu and being HK Cantonese, I love that dish but when I ordered it the 1st and 2nd time eight years ago instead of bean sprouts they had cabbage and that alters rhe flavor tremendously. I see why it's popular among the people but just don't think it is for my taste.

She immediately asked what we wanted in a rude tone, which set an uncomfortable atmosphere from the start. There was a sign on the table advertising a "free appetizer" if you take a photo and tag the restaurant on social media. I followed the instructions exactly as stated, but when I mentioned it, the server initially refused to honor the promotion. After I pointed out the sign, she appeared upset and walked away. I saw she went to speak to another employee and cracked a smiled and looked over. She later returned and offered a small discount instead. The issue wasn't about the money or the discount, it was the principle. The promotion was clearly advertised, and I simply followed the restaurant's own policy. It was disappointing to feel like the restaurant was reluctant to honor something they were actively promoting. I hope management addresses this because customer service and consistency with advertised promotions make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
