    My grandson enjoying his dinner!

    Very clean restaurant, friendly wait staff. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Hot sake was HOT... which was awesome. Bento box for my daughter was enough for 2 people. My son had the Udon which he loved. My husband and I had a couple of rolls and both were prepared as ordered. Everything was great.

    Fantastic services and food. This is the best sushi & sashimi and Hibachi's in Katy, great for family parties and celebrations!

    I recently dined at Ichiban, and I can't stop raving about my experience! From the moment I walked in, the restaurant was impeccably clean, which immediately set a positive tone for the evening. The highlight, of course, was the food. The hibachi dishes were absolutely delicious--every bite was packed with flavor. The steak was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the shrimp was cooked to perfection, bursting with freshness. The fried rice was a delightful compliment, and I found myself going back for seconds! The drinks were another standout feature. I ordered a signature lychee cocktail, and it was both sweet and strong, just the way I like it. It paired beautifully with the meal and added to the overall festive atmosphere. What truly made the night special was the customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a hibachi spot that combines delicious food, refreshing drinks, a clean environment, and exceptional service, look no further than Ichiban. I can't wait to go back!

    Yum! Yum! Yum! I came to Loves Dumpling House with my dad and my husband for dinner on a Friday…read morearound 6:30pm. We were seated right away. There is plenty of parking, plenty of indoor seating space and the ambiance is nice. We all shared Mushroom & Pork Soup Dumplings, Pork Soup Dumplings, Dan Dan Noodles, Pork and Chive Pan-fried Dumplings, and Beef and Onion Spicy & Sour Dumplings. If I had more room in my tummy, I would have ordered at least 4 more things from their amazing menu. We all had zero self-control and dig in before I could think to take any pictures. The soup dumplings were a hit for all three of us. I especially enjoyed the Beef and Onion Spicy & Sour Dumplings. My dad especially liked the Dan Dan Noodles because they were very peanut forward.

    After fasting for 36 hours, Yummy Quan was our first stop -- and at that point, we would've eaten…read morealmost anything... but luckily, we didn't have to settle. This place delivered where it mattered most, especially with the highly reviewed appetizers. Probably one of my favorite drinks here was the Thai Green Tea. It has a really interesting flavor that stands out from regular Thai Tea -- more earthy, but not quite like matcha (we guessed there might be pandan in it). Just a heads up: it's definitely on the sweeter side. My partner and I actually let the ice melt a bit before continuing to drink it, which helped balance things out. I came back a second time and still loved it just as much. The dipping sauce felt like a truly authentic representation of Vietnamese cuisine. It was a lightly diluted fish sauce with spicy red pepper and plenty of garlic -- simple but really flavorful. I also appreciated that the table setup let you customize it to your taste. In my first experience here, we ordered the Bánh Xèo, Bánh Khọt, and Bánh Bột Chiên. I was hands down a huge fan of the ginormous Bánh Xèo -- crispy, flavorful, and just overall my favorite (though I'll admit I'm a little biased toward it already). Meanwhile, my boyfriend completely fell in love with the crunchy Bánh Khọt. That said, I did notice a slight graininess in the Bánh Khọt, which took away a few points for me. The Bánh Bột Chiên was solid and got a pass from us, but it wasn't our top pick -- mostly because we've had better versions elsewhere. Other worthy notes: the herbs were fresh and crisp, and the pickled vegetables were refreshing as well (though my boyfriend thought they could've been a bit more strongly pickled). Eating everything the traditional way -- wrapping it in lettuce with herbs -- made the whole experience even better. Honestly, I would come back just to order two Bánh Xèo. I actually came back a second time before posting this review, this time with my family. We ordered the Bắp Xào, Cơm Chiên Bò Lúc Lắc, and a simple rice dish. This visit was a bit different -- across the board, we all agreed the dishes leaned too salty this time around. I could also tell the staff was overwhelmed, with only two people handling both the front and the kitchen, so it was tough to get their attention at times. That said, the Bánh Xèo still held its ground. My parents were genuinely impressed by the size, and for me, it's still an absolute banger -- something I'd come back for again and again purely for flavor and value. The Bắp Xào really stood out to me in a nostalgic way. I loved the use of traditional Vietnamese corn, and the sautéed dried shrimp brought back memories of flavors from dishes I grew up eating, even if I couldn't quite pinpoint which one. While my mom thought it was too salty, I actually felt like it would pair perfectly with a bowl of plain white rice. I also tried some of my brother's Cơm Chiên Bò Lúc Lắc and found the beef to be tender and flavorful, though not particularly standout compared to other places. I've had very similar versions nearby, but it's still my brother's go-to -- though I suspect that might also be his way of loading up on protein. Overall, even with the inconsistency during the second visit, I still really enjoy Yummy Quan -- especially for the appetizers. It's a place I'd bring family and friends to try, and I'm still curious about more of the menu... but realistically, I could live life on Bánh Xèo alone. At the end, you also get to grab some guava candy, and for anyone who's never had these, don't forget to pick some up -- they're simply delectable!

    Overall, good Vietnamese food. Certain dishes were a miss, but overall good food. Definitely Katy…read morepricing for the dishes though. I love getting banh khot, banh xeo, and banh bot chien for appetizers. Just tried the egg rolls and it was good too. My go to main would be bun dau mam tom. Other mains such as com chien bo luc lac and bun thit Nuong was ok. I did not like the bun rieu, was too sweet... probably because different region so rieu balls were different than I was used too also. Staff is friendly, food does take a little bit to come out so I always order my appetizers first right when sit down.

    I will be quite honest with you that I really have no experience with Malaysian food. In point of…read morefact, I've bypass this restaurant numerous times simply assuming that it was Chinese. It is anything but in point of fact, it is in my estimation, a unique culinary experience. I don't write from the perspective of comparing this food to other Malaysian dishes that I've had in point of fact to the best of my recollection I don't think that I've ever had Malaysian cuisine. But if this restaurant is an example, I have missed a great deal. The food is very unique the servings are very gracious charitable. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the distinction of this particular cuisine and given the portions and quality of food that is served. The service is quite simple and the restaurant is actually quite small. However, I must tell you from A service perspective. It's truthfully amazing because the takeout business is extremely active. Not to mention the fact that the chef walks out and speaks to people will share anything that you want to know about Malaysian food and obviously from the quality of the food that I ate not only is his explanation thorough but my guess is his skills are incredible. As I said it is very small so it's difficult to Alpine about the ambience other than it was quite clean and given the number of whom I suspect were Malaysian people it's obviously quite popular within that community. So I take that to be a sign that this food is quite native in nature. I had a pork meal, which is only on Sundays. I spoke to the chef about it, and he explained that the preparation started one day in advance of actually serving the meal, so I understand why it is only served once a week. Although I must tell you because I lack familiarity it seemed to me that I would be hours and hours trying to replicate any of the dishes. All I can tell you is this if you are in an exploratory mood for a cuisine and have had or have not had Malaysian before I suspect this is a place to go. Quite informal, extremely fair pricing very generous portions great service very pleasant people and frankly it's a a family affair of what you will see many when you go. Quite a lovely experience.

I had ordered, but decided to switch my order and the lady taking my order was standing right infront of me, but refused to let me switch. She suggested I get a side of egg noodles. Which I did. When my parents paid, they didn't say it, but my mom mentioned she tipped less because they weren't ethical. So my medium bowl with one noodle type and the one I wanted to switch to had two noodle types only came in a large. The price difference? $1. Her suggested extra side of egg noodles? $5. If I had seen the bill, I would've argued with yall. If you're still standing there and a customer wants to switch, why would you choose to provide poor customer service and money hungry ethics? The food is good, but I rather support other places. They're lucky they're just close to where my family lives or I'd boycott this place.

At first it was just us and one other table, but not long after, more people started coming in, probably for lunch as well. The restaurant is pretty large, with both tables and booths, plus a big table for large groups. This is what we ordered: Combo Rolls This comes as a sampler with five different types of spring rolls. Regular spring rolls, nem nuong rolls (fermented grilled pork), grilled chicken, grilled pork, and shrimp only. I really liked this idea because it lets you try everything without having to order each roll separately. My favorite was the nem nuong roll. Bun Bo Hue I do not eat pork blood or pork loaf, so I substituted them with more tendon and beef meatballs. Because of that, I cannot really comment on how the pork tasted. The broth was okay but a little lacking in flavor. After I asked for shrimp paste, it tasted much better. Bo Kho (Beef Stew) This is my husband favorite dish, so he always orders it whenever a place has it. He ordered the one come with bread as dipping. He did not really like this one. It was not bad, but not great either. The flavor was missing, and the broth was more watered down than how he prefers it. Still, it is worth trying if you like beef stew. Overall, our experience was just okay. The service was fine, but the food did not leave a strong impression on us. We did not stay long since my husband had to get back to work. I would come back to try more dishes, especially pho. Since their name is Pho Guru, I feel like the pho might be better. Plus we dined in around Fall time in 2025 so I think the place would have so change with out last experience
