    Can't beat this place for consistency. Food is also very good and not overpriced! Portions are good size on lunch menu. You will not leave here hungry and broke!

    Orange chicken

    Absolutely amazing service I haven't been here in years used to go all the time when I was younger. Absolutely nothing has changed still the cutest little shop and the food is still great as always! If I was in town more often this would be a stable spot for me again. They are always super nice and understanding! Love this place!

    My wife Kaity & I have loved this place since we left NY in 2013. These people are the best! The food is fresh & tasty, Best prices too.

    Want a NY style Chinese restaurant? This is it!!! I have been going there for 10 plus years now. Best lunch specials, always consistent food quality. The soups are wonderful, tasty. Fast service & a friendly staff who work hard. Try the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, or the General's Chicken. I LOVE THIS LITTLE PLACE!

    My full order.

    It's really *good.* Full disclosure, I'm from New Orleans born and raised. So my palate is probably more discerning than most... After months of delay, I placed my order over the phone, and the lady was quite friendly. Yet to find the boneless spare ribs that adorn most Chinese menus back home, as well as Shrimp Fried Rice that sweeps me off my feet (except for one other restaurant), I decided to give Hoi Yin a try. I placed my order about an hour before closing, picking it up from the drive-thru twenty minutes later. I ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice and the BBQ Pork; the spare ribs were bone-in, and I wasn't looking for beef sticks. There were no photos of the BBQ Pork on Yelp, so I took a shot in the dark. The nice aroma filling my truck, I eagerly fled home to give my food a try... To their credit, the portions from Hoi Yin were large, the price was fair ($15 total) and the food tasted pretty good. Okay--I didn't finish my food because it did absolutely nothing for me. Most of the Shrimp Fried Rice I've tasted since moving to the Houston area has been fairly bland. Plus I came up short when it came to the ribs I'm seeking. So for a *local* standard, my meal from Hoi Yin was really good. However, I'm still searching for fried rice and boneless ribs akin to anything I'm used to back home. Unfortunately, I haven't found that yet.

    Cozy little place for some good Chinese food. Best General Tso chicken I've had in town. Good service. Egg rolls are good and the price is on point. Especially their lunch specials. Lots of good tasting food for the price. Egg drop soup is delicious.

    Kung pao three meat delight

    So the food was bland, honestly tasted like frozen stir fry. Order the beef fried rice spicy no veggies (with no spice) and kung pao three meat delight (no shrimp, extra beef) which is twelve ninty-five just for it to be bland and a plate full of vegetables. The person I was with asked for mandrian spicy chicken and walnut shrimp just for the chicken to not have flavor or spice and guess what the walnut shrimp, you guessed it a tin pan full a vegetables and 5 shrimp, yes we counted, 4 since one fell. Totally disappointed to have had spent $40 plus dollars. The picture is the tin pan FILLED With veggies compared to meat that comes in it.

    Yeah!!!  Great crab rangoon

    We went in as they unlocked the doors for the day to place a to go order. We have not been in the building itself in years. We usually call in and drive through pick up. The floors were dirty, the tables and chairs had crumbs and dried food, cobwebs were hanging from the doors jambs. We were the second order placed. Three orders were delivered to those that came and placed their order after us. Never a comment to let us know ours was coming up, or soon, or just a moment or anything. Good commuication goes a long way. Thirty-five minutes later, over cooked, soggy, gummy, Lo Mein. Under cooked, lumpy Egg Foo Young gravy. Saving grace, great crab rangoon. We have been coming here for years, since they changed over the building from the Pilgrims Cleaners. We think it is important to support small businesses. Unfortunately, after todays service, we will now be looking for a new place.

    The food was very good!…read more I was hesitant at first because some of the menu seemed to be fusion items. In a place like Houston, where you can get authentic Vietnamese food, this can be a luck draw if the fusion pays off. However, when I tried the food, it was a very flavorful and worth every cent I spent. Everything was very tasty. The wings were flavorful and crisp. It had a combination of crispy skin seasoned with a rich sauce. The meat was also moist. For a party of two, it was also very shareable because they gave six pieces -both drums and wings. I will say that you really gotta to get in there get your hands and face dirty though! (They did provide a hand wipe!) For the main dishes, the won tonic soup was very flavorful with sweet-and-sour elements with egg noodles that soaked up all this good flavor. The wontons inside were very standard. And the onion was added to provide some balance. Everything was very hardy and filling. My friend had gotten the vermicelli. Which came with crunchy egg rolls, shredded veggies, noodles, and shrimp topped with a fish sauce. It felt very light and refreshing with a balance of textures and savory elements'. Highly recommend as the number one and two selling dishes - it would just depend on if you're in a soup or dry noodle sort of mood. Service was overall fast and friendly. You have to pay by going to the counter. We had a newer waiter though, and it took him a long time to get our orders correctly and he had to get some help. Hopefully they're doing well, but overall, it's a very cute Homie little establishment. Seating fits around 30 around booths and tables.

The food is in the back along with a shrine to the Dragon Ball series. Got the fried calamari and although it tasted like it could've been out of a frozen bag it did not disappoint at only $7. The chocolate egg roll was good too but you just get one for $4 and it's small. Not a good value proposition. The noodles are select your noodle, broth, protein and veggie. We got the Thai coconut curry base because we knew it was a sure fire winner (always is). Udo noodles, brisket and bok choy. The brisket was kinda meh and tough.

I placed a pickup order via their website and arrived within the time frame provided. Upon entering I went to the back/right area of the bar and found the pick up area. It's definitely a lot different than the other location as it is a shared space. There were a couple people waiting for their meal so it took a little longer than I anticipated. I ordered the Texas Twinkie, Brisket Mac and Strawberry Shortcake Eggrolls as well as the Chicken Potstickers. All of the Eggrolls were soggy and definitely not made to order. It was very disappointing as I have had them before and enjoyed it. The Chicken Potstickers were okay but nothing worth bragging on. I had a couple bites of each but ended up throwing it all away. Customer service and food quality were both lacking. I really wanted to add this to my food rotation :-(

I've done Peking…read moreCuisine for years and shifted to Arco for my duck cravings, but if you're willing to drive out to Humble (pretty much anytime you're in the IAH area), you gotta check out Bamboo House for the best Peking duck. And their other menu items are fire as well! We went on a Sunday late evening. We had a 9 pm airport pickup at IAH so it was a perfect opportunity to grab a spectacular dinner and make the 30+ minute drive out to IAH totally worth it. Parking lot wasn't too full so that wasn't an issue. While the neighborhood ain't River Oaks luxury, it ain't too scary either. We kept it simple - ordered a whole duck and Bamboo House Special Noodle with Beef. This place ain't cheap but the food is worth every penny. It was very busy that evening so it's not a well-kept secret but also proves that eventually, Houstonians will figure out where the good food is. The duck was near perfect. They serve the duck with the pancakes (as opposed to the buns like at Arco) which is my preference. The soup that comes with it was also extremely flavorful. And the house special noodles with beef - oh my. I swear it's just one really long noodle so you may be frustrated trying to divvy up the family style bowl, but the labor is worth it. So good... Can't wait for my next airport run so I can sneak in a lunch or dinner at this place. So many other menu items I want to try!

I had previously visited the now closed Bamboo House on Westheimer and I remember being impressed by the food. I had to make an airport run and decided that it would be perfect timing to stop by this location. I highly recommend ordering the duck ahead of time, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the last ducks when we arrived around 7 pm on a Sunday evening. The waitress was super friendly and upbeat and the restaurant is older but well maintained. You can see where the food is being prepared/cooked and you can see ducks being cooked/warmed behind a glass window. The duck was absolutely spectacular with the perfect seasoned and tender meat accompanied by well rendered crispy skin. I love how the pancakes are paper thin and pair well with the scrumptious duck and other toppings. They also provide sugar and plum sauce as additional toppings which I thought was interesting but not my cup of tea. The duck soup was extremely flavorful and full bodied and went well with the duck. The noodles were also amazing with likely hand pulled noodles served with an abundance of tender beef and vegetables with a little Sichuan kick. I was intrigued by a strawberry chicken dish that I saw on the menu and I plan to try it the time. My diagnosis: hands down the best Peking duck in the greater Houston area!
