    One of the sushi rolls menu pages
    Steph D.

    What a gem! This pan-Asian restaurant was selected for a mid-size group of about 18 ppl for a luncheon honoring a friend who was retiring. Hunan's Bistros is one of he & his wife's favorite spots. I've never been here, but it's convenient to Meyerland/Bellaire/West University neighborhoods. Plenty of seating in this restaurant. Service was excellent. The portions were very appropriate leaning towards huge. Everything that everyone in our party ordered looked delicious. The menu features familiar, Chinese entrees, a good selection of Sushi, and even Vietnamese dishes. We had to laugh that there was even a Smoothie menu. This would be a great location if everyone can't agree on specifically what they want, but they know they want a taste of Asia!

    The food was amazing. We liked it so much we went back the next night. Wonton Soup was great. The Sesame Chicken was to die for. The best I have ever had in quite a long time. The chicken was fresh and moist and not overly breaded and the sauce was just incredible. We also ordered Sushi which was also magnificent. The presentation was pretty cool. Service was also great. The staff was friendly and very helpful. My parents are over 80 years old and felt very appreciated. They were able to accommodate all their wishes. Very nice, clean and well lit place. We were thinking of going three nights in a row but got sidetracked.

    We recently visited and had an absolutely amazing experience. The highlight of the evening was the sushi boat, which was stunning from the moment it arrived at our table. The presentation alone is worth the visit. The boat was filled with a beautiful spread of fresh sashimi including salmon, tuna, and yellowtail, along with nigiri topped with caviar and tobiko, specialty rolls, and some truly creative pieces.

    I should have trusted the Yelp reviews. However, many of my friends like this establishment, so I thought I would give it a try on Christmas day. The restaurant is in a nice area of town so I was expecting much more. In my opinion these type some restaurants should focus on one specialty, not Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese. Maybe that's the problem. For Christmas Day around 1pm, there was no wait and several tables available. The service was great, however I wasn't a fan of the food. I absolutely LOVE hot and sour soup, but theirs tasked mostly like pepper (the spice - not the veggie). I couldn't even bear to finish it, which is rare for me. I ordered sweet-and-sour pork and the pork was insanely dry. I ended up packing it and just brining it home because I knew I'd be hungry later. Which I did - even though it was dry. The spring role and other sides were decent. I left feeling disappointed. Maybe today was just off, but I was here for the food and they could have done bette. Being that there are 1 trillion Chinese restaurants in Houston and several more in the area... I doubt I will be back.

    I will preface by saying, I mostly order the same thing from here over and over again and really like them. I have been coming here for years and have not been disappointed. This restaurant has very good and prompt service. The staff are very friendly the restaurant is beautiful, especially after the renovations. I love the little pond! I have dined in and ordered to go and had wonderful experiences each time. The menu is large and covers many different types of cuisines. I love the General Tsao's chicken, the kung pao shrimp and the mixed fried rice! A recent find is also the Vietnamese egg rolls. The quality is consistent and overall the flavors and textures are very tasty. Parking is not a problem due to the large lot, which makes things easier. A great place to go when you're craving Chinese food.

    This is our 2nd time here, and again it's quite a pleasure. The atmosphere and staff are all calm and relaxing, as well as attentive. The food is super yummy and fresh. The hot and sour soup warmed my insides. I love when chicken dishes have real chunks of chicken.

    We came here to dine-in on a Thursday evening during the holiday week and were easily seated - the place wasn't too busy inside, but lots were coming in/out for takeout. Service was very friendly and fast - they were attentive to our drinks, clearing the table, and making small talk with us. We started with an order of the chicken dumplings and pork dumplings - there were plenty in each order to feed our crowd of 5 people. We then each decided to order a dish and share family style - everything at the table was good and fairly priced. They had sushi on happy hour, but none at the table opted for that option. All in all, a great place for your Chinese food fix. Great service, friendly owners, good food.

    eggrolls & lo mein
    Karen 2.

    the lo mein was not very good. the eggrolls were not cooked very well. the quality of the meat is poor. it was atleast ready on time. also did not care for 2/3 of the sauces.

    Vietnamese egg rolls
    Nancy H.

    These "Vietnamese Egg Rolls" are bizarre. Dough too thick and tough. Did they cook them from frozen? They shouldn't serve them like this. They came with a lot of romaine lettuce and fish sauce. There was no cilantro or marinated carrots and cucumbers. Not worth having and definitely not worth $11. I also had the orange beef. The sauce was very good, the meat had a strange taste. It came with white rice which had absolutely no flavor. Really a shame because I like to support local businesses. Don't think I can support this one.

    We passed Hunan Restaurant by accident, which has Chinese food and Japanese food. We sat at Sushi Bar, fresh fish, sushi made beautifully, and Saki. Very good!

    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.

    I came here for the first time on a Saturday afternoon…read more The owner Ericka explained it was there soft opening. As they had just moved from Bourban Sizzler @ 2114 Holly Hall to two doors down to Irie Sizzler @ 2122 Holly Hall. But it's the same owners. Designed with fun Jamaican decor. Service - Ericka the owner/server was great. She chatted with us, was friendly. Provided good service. There was a DJ spinning some great tunes, for there soft opening. Food - I ordered the oxtail combo $29.49, which comes with rice/peas and cabbage and 2 plantains. With the combo you are allowed one additional meat of jerk chicken or stewed chicken, or curry goat (I think). The food was tasty. Plan to visit again. She also offered chicken soup, which was yum, great on the cool day. Drinks - I asked Ericka if they sold adult bevy's, as I had seen on the Bourban Sizzler Yelp page. She said no, but they had some carribean soft drinks and juices. I got the pineapple & Guava, expectedly sweet, but not overbearing. Wishing this black owned business much succes.

I went there back…read more2013- 2015 I'm not sure how many times management or chefs has changed there but its going down personally. I ordered my favorite oxtail diner combination with stew chicken or sometimes just oxtail. The oxtail are tasty but too small and too much oil left in the gravy. They are cutting the oxtails in half leaving a lot of fragmented bones in the gravy Try to drain off some of your oil before put in those carrots Secondly! The servings are abit small especially with the oxtail combination. The rice and peas are slim. The carrot and cabbage veggie is not bad just drain thd water off . Last! My deliveries have now started coming in a very cheap stryfoam containers. The last order has gravy all over the bag and the cover partially broken. Please! If you are using this brand of containers use some scotch tape to hold the container together and double bag to make secure. I would eat your food again but just asking to make some adjustments to those few areas I mentioned. Thanks

The broth was delicious and the homemade hot sauce came on the side had a wonderful taste (and blistering heat - a little goes a long way. The thin sliced meat was not to my taste, but that is purely personal preference - I could tell it was a good product, just not my thing. I thought the noodles had a firmer, more al dente texture that was new to me, but I expect that was my lack of prior experience. The "Japanese BBQ" was an experience. It took a bit to get the hang of it. The food was all very fresh and beautifully served, and the dipping sauces were tasty. In hindsight, I would probably have enjoyed the all you can eat sushi more, but I am happy I tried it. The restaurant has a laid back feel. Simple decor of umbrellas and lanterns. There is no sense of being rushed. My only suggestion would be to have some tables without the gas hibachi setup as that limits leg room (playing footsie is right out). I've returned twice.

Situated directly across the street from NRG Stadium along Kirby, it's ideally placed to capture the slice of tourists and locals. Considering the wide selection of Japanese-inspired fare, the potential is there -- but unfortunately, the food is both overpriced and mediocre, much like their predecessor (#2). Things I appreciated: * Interior: I am fairly confident that one could show up with 20 people from a football game across the street and find a seat. There's enough seating in here to house an army and they've done a good job with the ambiance to keep the appearance of a faux-premium vibe. * Service: While they were generally slow on a few things, most of the staff members I've encountered were super pleasant and very transparent about what / what not to order. I appreciated this immensely. * Yakitori: No exaggeration, this is one of the better AYCE yakitori experiences I've had. The chicken and beef yakitori combos (#3) had great presentation, were juicy, and full of flavor. This was the only item where I wanted multiple orders. Things that are not great: * The price: This. My first time coming here it was $31 (Or ... $30.99), but the last time was $50. With that kind of a steep hike, you'd think they'd offer uni, toro, and some kind of premium yakitori, but too hard to justify considering their lineup of food and drink. * The name: Previously, it was simply "Taro Japanese Restaurant." As of earlier this year, it has become "Taro VIP BBQ SEAFOOD HOTPOT & BAR." * The drinks: I'm stoked they have an alcohol license and can serve wine, beer, and cocktails. But the cocktails are on another level bad. The Mexican Mule ($14.50) was too tinge too sour, the Taro Red ($14.50), Blue Hawaii ($13.50) and Tokyo Rose ($13.50) are way too sweet. Even the powdered milk teas and fruit teas felt very generic. * The sushi: I can handle low quality sushi, but there was some level of funk for almost all the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail that I ordered. It was masked a bit better in the rolls, but at some point, I couldn't order anymore. * The ramen: While I think offering any kind of ramen is a plus in the AYCE scenario, the ramen here is understandably mid. All of the tonkotsu choices are the best bet, but this is a hard pass for even folks that love noodle soup. * The spelling: While I'm typically forgiving of most menu mishaps, the fact one is being charged $50 and they can't seem to spell shoyu, fried, tartare, etc. correctly is kind of mind blowing. * Most of their baked sushi items: This includes their tataki, baby octopus, mussels, ankimo, and tartare. This is likely due to the seafood quality issue that I had alluded to earlier. * The crawfish: Skip. Don't bother ordering, even if it's peak crawifsh season since it tastes like something more from a Chinese buffet than anything resembling the kinds of crawdads from Louisiana. For a place that boasts being run by culinary graduates trained under a famous Japanese chef (#5), it's incredibly disappointing to such such variety paired with such flawed execution. One could argue Taro is more style than substance, but I hope they find a way to correct their course. ____________ (#1) All you can eat Japanese restaurant where everyone speaks Mandarin. (#2) Akashi: https://www.yelp.com/biz/akashi-houston-7 (#3) Calling all carnivores: This is your moment. (#4) "Shyoyu" "Fired" "Tartar" (#5) Takeshi Kaneko? Okay then.
