    Dessert menu (1 of 2) - their menu is on their iPad !
    Wendy T.

    This cute neighborhood joint is friendly and a convenient place for some Asian food! Many of their dishes are fusion/Americanized (i.e. may not be the flavors you're expecting), so they may not satisfy if you're craving a specific flavor. We ordered pad thai, chicken curry, and the seafood clay pot. The chicken curry was flavorful and hit the spot, and I really liked the doughy "roti," which was more like a Chinese green onion pancake in texture (still very tasty!). The pad Thai bad an almost an artificial sugar taste that was a bit weird. And the seafood in the clay pot was slightly over cooked and tasted heavily of Chinese black bean sauce-- not a very exciting flavor profile for me but may be for others. I'd definitely choose the chicken curry out of these! Service was very friendly and the place is clean. They have a whole pastry case of cakes and desserts! :D if you're in the area, check them out for a comfortable, chill meal :)

    Massaman Chicken Curry
    Helene S.

    Nice place for a family dinner or a GNO. Family favorites include the Chicken Tom Yum Soup, Chicken Milanaise, and the Massaman Chicken Curry. Definitely get an order of hot rolls. The Chicken Tom Yum Soup is full of mushrooms. Enoki, wood-ear, and button mushrooms in a delicious broth seasoned with lemongrass and kaffir limes. So savory! The Massaman Chicken Curry is unique. Tender chicken leg in a curry filled with large pieces of carrots, zucchini, onions and tomatoes. It is served with a warm scallion roti. Delicious! The Chicken Milanaise is also a good choice for an entree. It is served with a salad or vegetables. Service is good. Plenty of parking is available.

    I have been wanting to visit this place since they opened around the pandemic. While they have a really good ambiance, their food just doesn't make the cut for something I'd recommend. Service quite decent, just the food needs to get better! I'd pick Thai Cottage (across the street) over this for my Thai food fix.

    This place is such a gem We've eaten here twice now but it's def a favorite when we are in Houston The food is very fresh and always served very elegantly Last night we got a piece of tuxedo cake to go snd it was delicious We highly recommend you give this place a try, you won't be disappointed

    We stopped in for a small Ghosh, pork skiers and twelve pan fried dumplings and a hot cappuccino...all done very well. We will be back for more....

    Massaman chicken curry (subbed snap peas), rice not included
    Masaru O.

    This place is across the parking garage from my house but I don't think I'd ever been there. The Massaman chicken curry was quite good with a nice spiced flavor. I subbed zucchini (I think) for snap peas which came in a separate container - I think they used a bit too much oil on them... The shall I say preparation of the "fillings" of the curry was also "interesting." It certainly had carrots and chicken, but as you can see they were huge chunks of carrot and a whole drumstick. The tomato was nowhere to be found, but it seems out of place in a curry anyway imo. Keep in mind this comes with roti so it does not have rice, I added that at home. My mom got the seafood clay pot. It seemed like there wasn't that much seafood though, I think 5 mussels total?

    Seared Scallops With Grilled Shrimp
    Mirna C.

    This was my first visit with my friend who's a regular. Everything in the menu sounds tasty so I hard time picking one item. As an appetizer we had the little knot rolls which were great. Their cocktails are also very good. I had the lemon drop and the lychee martini. I was pleased that it had three lychees! For dinner I had the shrimp and scallops. It was a little low on scallops but it was a good dish. I also got dumplings to go, which I was surprised had a little bit of a kick. I would definitely come back to try some of the other menu items.

    Butter cake with ice cream
    Ken B.

    What a delightful magnificent restaurant. The food has So many spices that explode in your mouth. Everything is fresh and served beautifully. Service is impeccable. I can't find one thing wrong here. This is my third time to dine here this week. The deserts are devoon!!! The lemon berry cake, ginger crème brûlée, butter cake with ice cream, etc. The restaurant itself is spotless and no weird Clorox smells. I don't think I'll ever cook again.

    Thai ceviche.....delicious
    Ramon B.

    OMG.....so tasty! I didn't know what I wanted for lunch and Yelp suggested this place. Amazing choice. I started with the Thai ceviche which was delicious! Very lemony with lots of shrimp, calamari, and red bell peppers. I'll order that again! My entree was the Massaman chicken curry. Once again the flavors were deep and comforting. The grilled squash was cooked to perfection! Not served with rice (not missed), but instead with a scallion roti, nice surprise. The menu seems limited but I will come back and try other dishes. I'll still get the ceviche, though!

    Thai Ceviche with plantain tostones
    Maria C.

    Me encanta este restaurante desde el ambiente tan agradable y cálido hasta la explosión de sabores de cada plato de comida, nosotros ordenamos para comenzar el Thai ceviche que viene acompañado con tostones de plátano, y además ordenamos pan-fríed dumpling de Verdad son excelentes. Como platos principales ordenamos lemongrass café Pad Thai, Massaman chicken curry (la especialidad de la cada) lemongrass pizza and organic salad, todos los platos son una delicia de sabores. Estoy segura que regresaré de nuevo a comer! No puedo olvidar la atención es muy calidad, todo el personal es muy agradable y amistoso.

The portions were hearty, and the to-go options were perfect for family style and sharing I haven't ever stepped foot in the restaurant itself, so, I can't speak to the ambiance, decor, and overall vibe. I can speak to the service. It was painless to order. You can call, order online for delivery or pick up, you can also use one of the many food delivery apps. After we submitted our order we actually got a call from the restaurant confirming a couple of things. This was a nice touch because they didn't just assume, they wanted to make sure everything was correct. Also, the food arrived in no time at all Everything was tasty. Everyone looked food on their plates and even went back for seconds Some tips: I would order the wings because they have so much flavor, they are crispy, and it's easy to share/try various flavors They have an option to order an extra egg on the menu. We assumed this was for the fried rice, but this is the main reason we received a call from them asking where we wanted the egg lol Cheers!!

The food looked incredible in the reviews, and it really was! However, we were expecting more of a traditional Saturday night dining experience with waitstaff, so we were surprised to walk in and find counter service and a fountain drink machine. My friend initially wanted to leave, but I convinced her we should stay and try it since neither of us had been before. I'm glad we did because the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food did not disappoint. That said, the self-service setup could use some improvement. The process for getting water and dinnerware wasn't intuitive, and we weren't sure where to go or what was available. We ordered the shareable Edamame appetizer, which was delicious, but it didn't arrive until after our entrées, so we had to ask about it which was disappointing because we wanted to nibble on that before the main entree. Interestingly, another table that was seated after us received two or three shareable appetizers soon after being seated & before we received any food at all. When our entrées arrived, we also realized we didn't have any cutlery. We were seated on the patio where there was a nearby station with napkins, spoons, chopsticks, one knife, but no forks. Since we didn't want to eat our bowls with chopsticks, we had to figure out where to get what we needed. For a Saturday night at 7:30pm, this felt like a lack of preparation. I think Loro could significantly improve the experience by having ONE clearly designated self-service station with everything guests need - water, napkins, forks, knives, spoons, chopsticks, etc., and having staff briefly explain the setup to first-time guests. That small change would make the experience much more seamless. Now, the FOOD! My friend ordered the Shrimp Bowl and I had the Steak Bowl. They may not look like much, but WOW, both were incredibly delicious and satisfying. I also tried the Frozen Beverage Flight, which was such a fun treat and a great way to sample the different options before choosing a favorite for the next visit. Despite the service-flow hiccups, the food was excellent, the staff were friendly, and I'd definitely come back. I just hope the self-service experience becomes a little more intuitive because Loro has some seriously good food!

    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.

The flat egg noodles were bouncy and the shrimp was solid. If you're stuck between choosing a curry dish and a noodle dish, get the best of both worlds and order the Khao Soi! As for my friend's spicy red snapper, I tried a bite and the spices/texture in the dish complimented the fish very well. For dessert, we ordered the classic Mango Sticky Rice!

We came right when they opened and got seated right away. The restaurant itself isn't super big so reservations is recommended. They have seating inside and outside and most of the booth seating was reserved up already. We weren't super hungry so we shared some brisket nachos and some ribs. Both were amazing. The nachos had an asian flavor which we enjoyed. It had a lot of flavor but wasn't overwhelming. It had brisket, queso, salsa, queso, and some really good chips. I killed it. The ribs were also really good. An order was 3 ribs and they had a lots of tender meat on the bone and delicious flavor. It was a special for the night but I recommend it if they have it. I love that their menu had a wide variety but a lot of the items are fusion and can't be found anywhere else. For instance, they had smoked pork & kimchi eggrolls, smoked banh mi (vietnamese sandwich), and pho-strami sando. It's BBQ with a twist. But do keep in mind they do not do sliced meats or meats by the pound. Their service was good but very slow. It took them awhile to take our order, food to come, and forever to pay. We even went up to pay but they kept ignoring. Their pricing is good for what it is and portions were a good size. They offer happy hour Wednesday to Saturday from 5-9pm. I would come back and try their other items. I recommend it if you're open to BBQ with an Asian twist.

I've come across a few IG videos of Blood Bros., so when my Fourth of July date wanted BBQ, I knew we had to visit their restaurant. It was even featured on The Michelin Guide list, which made it an even more enticing choice. As I approached the entrance, I was impressed by the spacious and functional outdoor dining area that had ceilings fans and tvs around. As I entered the store and made my way to the counter, I was warmly greeted by friendly staff members. One of them was a meat carver, while the other was responsible for taking your side orders. Then right around the corner, the cashier took our drink orders and rang us up. Service was swift and prompt. We ordered: Beef Rib - Minimum order is 1lb ($44.25/lb). My date declared this dish the best out of everything that we ordered, praising it was moist and tender and gave it a 5/5 rating. Brisket - My date said the briskets had a big layer of fat yet the meat was lean and not very tender and would rate it 3/5. Potato Salad - Usually this is my favorite side but I was not a fan of Blood Bros'. Although it did have some contrasting textures to it, I thought the potato salad was more on the dry side and the dense potatoes made it unenjoyable. It was also too sweet for my liking. I would rate it 3/5. Cucumber Salad - The vibrant contrasting colors of green and red makes it look pretty but the taste is very bland and it had very little crunch to it. I would give this side a solid 1/5. Pimento Cheese and Firecrackers - This is the worst Pimento Cheese dip/spread I've had and the crackers were extremely salty. The cheese had a slight chemical aftertaste and an odd texture to it. I do not recommend ordering this dish and would give it a 1/5. The four slices of white bread that came with the meal were dry and more on the firm side despite being wrapped in clear plastic wrap. Note: There's a 3% surcharge added to all credit card payments.
