Food, service, drinks, and ambiance were amazing! Are server had a great personality and was extremely knowledgeable. Cocktails were fun and light. We had the king crab salad and lobster dumplings for an appetizer. Our main course which they urge Judah do family style was the combination fried rice and general tsao's chicken. We skipped on dessert because we didn't have any room but can't wait to come back. It was a great experience. read more

Parking .5 valet was cool otherwise you're in the garage Waiter service 1.5 our server was great and attentive. Explained the menu, gave his suggestions, made sure we were laughing. The manager stopped by to say hello. Food taste/price .5 everything had too much sauce and was a bit salty. Flavor wasn't consistent because one bite was spicy and the next would be tolerable. Ambiance 0 tables too close together and were small for the food. The a/c unit kept dripping on our table. Bathroom was out of paper towels. Overall, I enjoyed being with my friends at a new place. But it wasn't somewhere I will visit again. We declined to take the left overs. read more

Food was great! Service was a tad slow, but everyone was very attentive. A bit hard to hear each other, but think it was our table. Chairs on one side and a banquet on the other. We look forward to dining again soon! read more

Maison Chinoise - Dim Sum Near Me - Houston, Texas

3/10, just so horrible, but I should note that the manager was kindest soul ever, but on the other hand the food lacked in practically every aspect, the dumplings were 6/10 at best with a subpar sauce and the Peking duck was a 7/10 (just extremely overpriced and lukewarm) The decor nicely furnished the place and the plating for dishes was top notch but the orange dessert was way over sweetened and MIRCOGREENS ON A DESSERT folks this is absurd, just give me nuance that's not shoving overpriced chlorophyll onto the plate. I would never recommend you to go unless you're craving some reasonable duck that's in the inner loop and you're ready to ball. For advice, please don't overcrowd the customer, our waiter kept on checking our table every 3 minutes, and it simply felt like we had no space. Moreover, please add spice(fresnos or any pepper for that matter) to drunken noodles, bland noodles are not good noodles. Overall, I believe this place has promise because of its prime location and immaculate plating(literally just dry ice, but it wowed me). Although, currently the actual flavors and some of the waitstaff are not cutting it. read more

Maison Chinoise - The fabled micro greens aggressor and Orange dessert extraordinaire - Dim Sum Near Me - Houston, Texas

Absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I had the Peking duck with the truffle/wagyu fried rice! I'm dreaming about that rice and duck was even better the next day in the air fryer with that brown sauce and the perfect pancakes that come with it. Heated the pancakes in the microwave for like 10 seconds...perfect! That Maison salad is delicious too! I was concerned when I didn't "see" dressing but oh baby...it's dressed! Can't wait to go back and try more dishes! read more

We had a great experience here for a date night! Our waitress was so helpful to recommend drinks and highlight popular items on the menu. Everything we had was delicious, especially the dumplings! read more

Expensive food for mediocre food and service. Requested baos and got it AFTER we finished the duck, was given dirty bowls, they forgot to make one of our food and never followed up with us until we mentioned it, meat was dry, duck skin wasn't crispy, the list goes on. You can't charge $$$ for food if the food isn't good. And you can't call it upscale if server never checks on you read more

Food was mediocre, salt bombed and overpriced, which I would have been ok with if the food was good. Also, the server was a pervert and eventually felt comfortable enough after incessantly coming to compliment looks and outfit, he even came and touched shoulders and arms. Never going back. read more

Beautiful interior however the restaurant clearly has some work to do for layout. We were seated at a table that was in the only pathway to access the restrooms and was very narrow. Our whole meal was interrupted with people squeezing up against my back trying to get by. With the close proximity to the table behind us, the person eating behind me backed up their chair on 3 occasions and abruptly hit into me; resulting in me being knocked forward into my table (not their fault and embarrassing case of bumper chairs). It was a very surprising unpleasant experience and took away from our evening. When we provided feedback to the manager, she gave me her card and suggested to come back and she will ensure we're at a better table . I would've loved to leave on a better note - won't be back. read more

Costly meals in a Fast Food Atmosphere - again. I'm finding this to be common where nice restaurants are commandeered by customers who listen to podcasts on their phone Without headphones or take calls on Speaker or dress like they rolled out of bed. It ruins the overall experience. But the menu and service at Maison was overall good. read more

Food and drinks were amazing, service was great, food portions made sense, the only issue we had was one of the dishes ordered came with shrimp and chicken, and though the noodle portion was there it only had 1 piece of chicken and two pieces of shrimp. But the ambiance was beautiful. read more

Maison Chinoise - Blackberry Lotus: Mildly sweet blueberry cocktail with some slight bitterness on the back end really good! - Dim Sum Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is NOT "take out" Chinese food. This is a VERY elevated experience. We took a friend out for her birthday, and she picked this place. It was my first time to visit, and I was impressed. The service was impeccable, and everything we ordered was yummy! I will return again when I want to treat myself and my guests! read more

It was great! Nice ambiance and very eccentric restaurant. The service was excellent and I appreciate the attentiveness. read more

The service was AMAZING we absolutely loved the entire experience. Lindsay was the best manager ever was so lovely and was so kind would definitely go again just because of her managerial skills. Everett was the most amazing waiter ever so thoughtful, generous, and took great care of us. this establishment is the absolute best and had wonderful food. The chef truly made it a great experience and the food was too good to be true. The ambience was truly amazing. It was very accommodating and handle the weather beautifully. Please come to this place. read more

I don't always leave reviews but like Brittany in a review from last week...something was just off. The staff themselves didn't make me feel welcome except for my server Natalia who was great. She even read the reservation notes that it was my birthday and provided a beautifully presented birthday treat at the end. However, the ambiance of the place and patrons was less than inviting to me and my wife as a mixed couple. We were well dressed in formal attire and even the people outside were giving that you don't belong here vibe which I usually ignore (especially in River Oaks) but it bothered me on this occasion. The Food - honestly other than the scallop entree was average at best. I've had better tasting dishes in Chinatown. However, the decor is gorgeous and it's really a shame because I will not be dining here again nor will I be recommending it either. read more

Service was great. We started with the Peking Duck and will come back. So far, everything was delicious.

Food was delicious but the dining area was all open and no quiet area. Pretty loud in there.

I wanted to like this place. Restaurant managers, please do me a favor: do not have servers inquire about allergies, but then allow servers to make statements about items that are not true. I have a serious allergy, and when asked about cross-contamination on a particular item, the server replied " oh,so this is serious?". Yes, it is, and I should not have to explain that. Also don't let a server tell me that the pancakes with the Peking duck are gluten-free, when they most definitely are not. This is so deflating, and it puts a dark cloud over the experience, not just for me, but for our entire group. That said, the food was ok. The duck was delicious. I have zero motivation to return, sorry to say. read more

Great food, great ambience. The service was also great. Simply everything was great. Definitely order the duck

It's a bit expensive for very ordinary Chinese food but the atmosphere and environment are very warm and romantic- a nice experience

I would love to say i highly recommend this place. Food great atmosphere amazing. Firstly I would like to emphasize what I'm saying in this review is not how I was treated during my dining experience. So..... here goes. I've seen this place and I thought hey this may be good, being that this is an upscale place I got dressed up and went in. I had the Mongolian beef and rock shrimp I was with someone it treated the bill was 200. Not bad the food was worth it!!! Fast forward a few days later I returned to the restaurant and I wasn't dressed I wasn't in to eat. I was there in uniform and the way I was treated was absolutely disgusting. I'm not gonna go into extreme detail but I was definitely racially profiled to the point of insulting my intelligence. Now when I was here look to "PAR" everyone smiled laughed treated me with respect because I was dressed a certain way. But as a regular person I was made to feel like DIRT by a supervisor unfortunately her name is Lindsay. Based on another review I'm definitely sure Lindsay does not prefer people of color. I don't appreciate it and I will not be returning EVER. I wanted to plan an event in this restaurant but I REFUSE TO GIVE UP MY HARD EARNED MONEY TO SOMEONE THATS GONNA TREAT ME LIKE DIRT AS SOON AS I DONT LOOK TO PAR. read more

This is a very pretty restaurant with standard fair Chinese food at very expensive prices. Reminds me of the now closed Benny Chow. Two appetizers one main course and rice for $120. Pretty bathrooms. read more

Hostess very welcoming. Must make a reservation because its very busy. Went to the bar to grab a drink while waiting on table..the bartenders don't even look up or pay attention to anyone standing at the bar. Neither were friendly whatsoever. Took awhile. And a manager to get their attention. The manager i will say was amazing..he was very friendly and attentive. Sat at our table and greeted by a nice server. We ordered appetizers chicken lettuce wraps which needed a lot more flavor, crab wonton pretty dry..the wrap wasn't good at all. Plus one of the appetizers the server forgot to put in and it came with my friends main dishes..while i was still waiting awhile for mine and then waited even longer for fried rice I ordered with mine because the server didn't put it in correctly. She got the lobster dumplings and wagu pot stickers both were ok. I got the crispy orange beef which was really good just alittle too sweet. And for dessert banana spring rolls worst thing we ate all night. No flavor totally bland could use some cinnamon on top and maybe chocolate to dip into..but it was tasteless. All in all service was slow, food took awhile to come out. Vibe was really nice..drinks really great. Manager he gets five stars...hope to try again.. read more

came here with some friends and overall place was good but nothing to write home about. the decor is probably the best part. our particular waiter was a bit odd and left a weird impression. for food- we had the waygu potstickers 4/5, waygu truffle fried rice 4/5, general tso chicken 2/5 (not crust just tasted like sweet and sour), nutella bao buns 5/5 (best part of the meal). overall the food was good but not extremely memorable. wouldn't be mad to come back but wouldn't necessarily choose it read more

I went to Maison Chinoise for a quick dinner after a very long day and ordered a cup of soup and dan dan noodles. I sat at the bar and there was a very drunk senior lady sitting next to me and she was extremely obnoxious and loud. I tried to mind my own business and tried to be polite and she was relentless. If I tried to ignore her, she would get more aggressive and finally the bartender cut her off and she even got more aggressive with them and me because I was sitting next to her. She then got very insulting and the bartenders and managers basically did nothing. She finally paid her bill and then she left but by that time I was not interested in finishing my meal because the managers handled the situation so poorly. They should have engaged security personnel to escort her out and responded more quickly. If it had been a man instead of a woman I would have handled it myself. As expensive as this restaurant is, they should be trained to handle situations like this more effectively. The gen manager made a pretty weak apology and told the bartender to not charge me for the soup.... that made everything better.... not! read more

Went for birthday brunch but we ordered off the main menu. Had the chef's dim sum selection, har gow, claypot tofu/eggplant, snapper and scallops. The har gow was excellent albeit kinda pricey ($18/6 pcs), the other dishes were good except the snapper was disappointing. It was a just a dry piece of fried fish. Our waiter, Kevin, was very efficient and courteous. However there was a guy named Damien who came by our table when the dim sum was served, and he was very rude and condescending when we asked him a question about the dim sum. I don't know why he even came by to introduce the dish when our waiter was fully capable. That marred our otherwise pleasant meal. Btw even if the hostess asked about the birthday, nothing extra/special was said or done. Pricey for the small servings of food. It wasn't crowded, probably only half the place was occupied and a group of the staffers (including Damien) were just idling at the bar. read more

Well, after all the build-up and hype, time for the experience. And .... aw shucks. Easy on the eye, and ... that's about it. Went on Saturday 8th November in the evening, dinner for four in the main area. Quickly seated in great location and looking around you get a sense of what the hype has been all about. Surrounded by beautiful people, smart waiters, Peking ducks rotating in the corner, a stunning ceiling, great chairs and a bustle you rarely get to appreciate. We sit in expectation, hoping for an experience to match the media narrative of excellence. But then the first smidgeon of a concern when having to explain the waitress what a gimlet is. But when it came, happily nothing to complain about (though I had a better one the night before at Potente). But then the table ordered different potstickers (shrimp and lobster) to start and they were instantly forgettable; lacking in taste, and texture too chewy. How can you make something so tasteless? For our main my wife and I had the chilli shrimp and it was disappointing to put it mildly - all chilli and 5 shrimps that were remarkably tasteless as well. We tried the dessert as well - the banana dish was a hit (rightly so) but the chocolate ice cream was meh at best. Overall, there was little for me to consider returning for; the caveat of course being its early in its life and a need to sort out teething problems. But frankly, having taken two friends out and promised them a great experience, I was left slightly embarrassed between the sell and the outcome. Fingers crossed for a better time in the future. read more
