15 dollars for these two small things, I'll never come back here ever again, no wonder it's always empty

Fried cassava

I did not want to write a review when I walked in and received poor service. I didn't wanna write a review when I came 20 min after placing my order and they said it would be ready in 10min on the phone. The lady helping me told the chef to make my food right there and then because it fell between the cracks. The lady said to me "change in waiters so she didn't have your order". Still didn't wanna write a review when she quoted me a diff price (higher) then advertised online. When I pointed this out, she showed me the physical menus and said these are the updated ones. I said I get that. But online it hasn't changed. Paid the higher price no issues! Had to write a review when I got home and saw the food. Literally 7 pieces of fried chicken and diced sausage and ham. Really...?! No where in the menu does it describe that. Highly disappointed. Will not go back, will not recommend it. Went there for the 1st time a couple years ago and loved it. Returned a few days ago. Utter disgust. Look at the advertised dish versus the actual one. At theses prices, no way. And it wasn't good. The rice felt plastic low grade and the cassava was drenched in oil. Look at the pics and Judge.

Beef and noodles in a white creamy sauce!!  Tallarines a la Huancaina, I believe that's what it was called.

I was craving ceviche. The Peruvians make the very best. I was not disappointed. My friend ordered beef with noodles and tomatoes dish. I don't recall the name of the ditch but it was in a creamy sauce and it was to die for. Also the fried plantains and flan were yummy! I highly recommend this place. PS the service was impeccable. Our server was Susana. Thank you thank you!!

A 16 dollar to go plate with 4 fries and two pieces of meat.

My last 2 visits were obviously superb, just weeks ago and again tonight. My # 1 here is the Beef…read moreKubideh with Dill Rice. I also really like their Chicken Kubideh and Shrimp a lot too. The beef is so well-seasoned, so juicy, rich and has a great charbroiled / charcoal aroma to it. I think the exact same for the ground chicken, but less fatty, still very juicy and lighter flavor profile. The shrimp were simple, mild in seasoning, but so succulent, fresh and cooked just right. They didn't taste like frozen, bagged shrimp that was cooked, but fresh and slightly sweet with some char. The dill rice is full of lima beans, buttery / oily to the right amount and just the perfect level of earthiness. Great, fully cooked tomatoes that pop in your mouth. I had a bit of a sore throat today, but the food here was a wonderful way to pleasure the pallet. Most Persian restaurants in Houston have 0 charbroil or charcoal taste, bad meat full of fillers and minimal seasoning in their meat, but just 3-4 do it right. This place absolutely nails it for kabobs and can easily compete with California in the Orange County area where top notch Persian restaurants are common. Great, welcoming, friendly and efficient service.

Came here for a lunch with the SO while we were in the area…read more We ordered the appetizer sampler, koobideh combo, and meat in a bowl (forgot the name but it was one of their specialities). The bread the veggies that came out were very good. The appetizer sampler we got the eggplant dish, hummus, and yogurt and shallot. The hummus was not our favorite as our other go to Persian places seem to have a smoother texture but the eggplant was good. The yogurt was pretty tangy with light shallot flavor that wasn't super detectable but it was still nice. The koobideh was juicy and the rice and tahdig that came with it was super yummy. I don't love the seasoning for the chicken koobideh but that's just a preference thing nothing was wrong or unpleasant about it. The lamb koobideh was on point. The meat that my SO had was very good as well. Beef was tender. The chicken was tender. The only thing I was confused about was that my SO was supposed to also have tahdig on his rice but didn't receive it, he just got normal rice. My SO didn't tell me until the very end of the meal though so we didn't say anything to them but it was strange to forget that part of the meal. We didn't knock them for that because my SO didn't bring it to their attention and I'm sure they would have fixed it if we told them. Service was very friendly. They kept checking on us and were very polite. The outside of the restaurant is unassuming in a strip mall but the inside is pretty. There are some other Persian places that we prefer but the tahdig and the service and the juiciness of the meat were great here. The hummus was not our favorite though which to us is a big component that we like to eat. 4/5.

I love Frenchy's! I used to live in the area but have since moved. When I lived there I didn't know…read moreabout Frenchy's and never realized there was this delicious fried chicken just steps away from my doorstep! I came on a Friday night and there was a long line. When I looked upfront, I realized why. There were only two people working there. But they were holding it down!! They were working hard to get everyone's order. I got the two piece dark. It took a little while, but it was worth it! Even though I ordered two, they gave me three - maybe because they were closing soon. The chicken was so hot and crispy and juicy!! And omg the hot-sauce! It was really good on the chicken. Also it comes with a jalapeño which I drizzled over the chicken. I also had greens and a roll to top it off. Delicious! Can't wait to go back :)

I'm not gonna hold back on this review, this is probably the worst Frenchy's I've ever been to. I…read morebeen inside the restaurant 3-4 times and ordered through DoorDash about 2-3 times. To be honest the service is slow and at times they're rude and don't wanna do their job. One of the only positive things I can say is that even though the service is slow, the food comes out hot & fresh. I would hope so since they're not busy. My to go orders are usually the 3 piece campus with either mash potatoes, red beans and rice, collard greens & dirty rice. Or I'll get their 3 piece catfish. Sometimes I'll get the dessert (peach cobbler & sweet potato pie). While the chicken comes out hot & fresh. There is zero seasoning on the chicken itself. Not even a pinch of salt. They rely on the batter for flavor. Don't get me wrong the batter is salty & delicious for my palate but the chicken is so bland. Collard greens are uninspiring & boring but edible. Mash potatoes taste just fine but their gravy adds a layer of flavor. Red beans and rice once again, flavorless & they always give you one measly piece of sausage. Their dirty rice is a little dry but not bad. Now for the catfish I actually enjoy it. The batter is the same as their chicken & the fish itself is moist and juicy. The desserts feel like it's store bought and not made in house but it's bearable. Overall, this location ain't it. It's located next to a gas station & the area itself isn't safe. The inside of the restaurant isn't clean either. Lazy & rude employees don't make it any better. If you want some good Frenchy's go to the one on 3rd ward. I would frequently go there but that's no where close to my house so I have to settle for this location. I hope they make improvements before they shut down.

I've been to this Peruvian restaurant a few times before because I usually like their roasted…read morechicken. This time I called in an order for tallarines saltados and two whole chickens for my family. They told me it would be ready in an hour, which was fine. When I arrived to pick it up, the owner handed me the food and casually said he replaced my tallarines with lomo saltado -- without asking me first. He said it was "a better choice" and that they were out of tallarines. I told him clearly that I did not want lomo saltado, but he kept insisting, so I just took it to avoid arguing. When we got home, the real problem started -- both chickens were undercooked, tough, and hard to chew. It was so bad that I told my kids and family not to eat any of it, and I ended up throwing everything in the trash. I paid good money for this meal, and we didn't get to eat at all. Changing an order without consent and serving raw chicken is not acceptable. I won't be coming back.

The owner is super nice, caring, and helpful upon ordering. Las Brasas currently has quite a few…read moregood deals. Specifically the lunch deal that contains 1/4 piece of a chicken and 2 sides with rice. The crispy potatoes are amazing, all for $9 with a drink as well! There are lots of space to dine in and well decorated representing the culture and an image of what the restaurant has to offer!

My bestie and I had a girls day here, and this place was really spacious with natural lighting!…read moreService was friendly and quick. We got the 18 pieces wings with sauce to share and it was huge. They can't do half and half sauces here but the waiter recommended soy and it was super flavorful and yummy! I definitely have not had soy like this in any other kfc place. It's super crispy and aromatic. Comes with a side of shredded cabbage with mayo marinade. We also shared the rosé tteokbokki, which is pretty creamy so def recommend pairing it with another dish but it was also tasty! Definitely gonna come back as im craving the soy wings hehe. They also sell merch like blind boxes and kpop merch too!

The food here is good but nothing crazy. I appreciate the size of the wings however the flavor…read morecould use a little more work. It looks very well seasoned but the flavors as described on the menu or what they sound like by name don't live up to what it actually tastes like. The inside of the chicken is somewhat bland, like there's not much taste to it. The fries weren't that special either, they were pretty standard and could use more seasoning. I'm not sure if it was the entire restaurant but it was very cold inside; the AC was blowing directly onto us and the food which made the experience a little less enjoyable. Pricing was actually pretty good compared to other places, but other than that quality could use some work. Not a bad place to stop by if you want more food for a lower price.
