I've been coming to Dumpling World for a while. It's a very small dumplings shop in Sugar Land near…read moreFirst Colony Mall. Everything is reasonably priced and super delicious. Because the store is small, it does get very busy during lunch and dinner hours. I usually order to-go, which also takes a while, but it's definitely worth the wait. You won't be disappointed with whatever you choose. Every dish is super flavor-packed and perfectly prepared. My favorites are the Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Pork & Scallion Spicy & Sour Dumplings, and Shrimp & Pork & Chive Pan-Fried Thumb Buns. I also really like their Pork Xiao Long Bao, Beef & Onion Dumplings, and Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup.

They have a scan and order system through phone or you can have the waiter take your order. We were greeted, sat, and given water immediately - ordered through the website. Food came within 15-20 minutes! Delicious!!! Pan Fried Bao's are a must try - crisp at the bottom and soft and juicy, with soup on the inside! The xiao long bao's were also really good - soup & the filling was proportional. The beef rolls were ok - have had better. I am comparing to dough zone & steam dumpling.

A hidden gem. The food here is excellent and yummy- licious. The pork buns have thin skins unlike…read moreother places. The chive cakes are fried so well with lots of chives. Highly recommended.

We got a dry noodle with beef tripe, golden hot and sour soup noodle with fatty beef, beef rice dish, mala beef tendon and brown sugar rice cake. Flavors overall were just okay, we asked for the dry noodle dish to be extra spicy, it was beyond mild. The hot and sour soup was barely sour and also not spicy. Inside the restaurant is clean and good space to host small and medium size groups. I probably wouldn't go back to this place when I'm back in Houston again, too many other better eats than this one.

It is part of our rotation for rice noodles 米線. When they opened this closer location it saved us from having to go to Chinatown. Pro tip: when eating there, order the version of it where everything is on the side and save yourself a few bucks (as opposed to them throwing everything into the soup for you). It is essentially the same thing.

Asia Blue is one of those places that have authentic taste but keep a low profile because they're…read moremore focused on delivering quality than nonessential marketing. I have passed by their restaurant many times, but it never occurred to me to go in until one day I was surprised to see them ranked in the top 100 ramen places nationally on Yelp! With less than 300 reviews, I was skeptical at first but was intrigued to give it a try, and I'm so glad that I did! I visited on a Friday afternoon right before New Year's and was greeted warmly by the staff inside. As I was indecisive on what to order in the ramen section, I asked the staff for suggestions. She was kind to walk me through the menu without rushing to get an order, and she mentioned that their most popular item is actually the beef noodles. That was all I needed to make a decision to try the beef noodles. While waiting for the food, I chatted with the staff and learned that the restaurant opened right before the pandemic then shifted their model to take-out only as the pandemic begin. Since then, they've tried to make use of their restaurant space to return to dine-in but it has been difficult to find reliable workers. In the interest of keeping the quality consistent and customers happy, they've decided to make sacrifices to keep the business model as is for take-out only instead of scaling up with additional staff, which is such a shame given the rent in the area is not cheap and they have such a beautiful space! When you hear "take-out only", I know what you're thinking, BUT I promise you this is the best takeout food you will ever have! The packaging is very well-designed to keep the flavors and ingredients at its finest! As I mentioned, I ordered the beef noodles, and typically noodle dishes are not ideal for takeout, but Asia Blue separates the soup from the noodles so that the noodles are not soggy, and even after half hour, the soup stayed warm and flavorful. The noodles also came paired with many mini side dishes as palate cleansers, which were a nice surprise. From my conversation with the staff, I've also learned that this is one of the rare places that truly make their broth fresh from premium ingredients! You can be sure that it's MSG free and packed with healthy nutrients, and that's a quality that you can taste. I highly recommend this place for your next ramen adventure, and I certainly will be returning again very soon to try the other menu items. :)

This is a full sit down restaurant but only does To-Go orders. This place opened a before Covid…read more When Covid hit, they did To-Go only and stayed that way since. When you pickup your food, the sit down area is dark, and there isn't much of a waiting area. It looks to be run by two folks, the cook and the cashier. It is probably best to order over the app, as the one cashier is busy packing the food in the fancy packaging and dealing with the money transactions. Since it is only two people, it can be slow to get your food when it is busy. I waited an additional 20 mins from the projected time it was suppose to be done. As for the food, the miso ramen was packed in this fancy box. The box contained the soup separated from the noodles with a few side dishes. I believe this is the only vegi ramen they offer. It is nothing special. The broth is basically miso soup with soy sauce. (2 out of 5) The cold sesame noodles was better. It had more flavor. (4 out of 5) The Salt & Pepper Chicken was good (4.5 out of 5). I couldn't help eating it while in the car, as it smelled so good. The Braised Pork over rice was decent. It was cut up thick pork belly, braised in an Asian brown sauce. The flavoring was a little one sided. (3 out of 5). I'm giving this place an overall 3 stars because the food isn't something to rave about. Packaging and presentation were great, but tastes was more important to me.

I get it - it's right after the holidays so staffing could be short. The server we had wasn't exactly enthusiastic, just did the bare minimum. Dishes piled up and we weren't asked about refills. You'd figure because there was only 1 group that the service would be attentive, but nope! The food that we ordered from the kitchen were all super fresh and delicious. My favorites were the bulgogi gimbap, eggroll (tiny rolled egg omelette), and chicken wings! They come out super hot - loved them all. The hot buffet bar was not filled at all, some were even just empty. I found it disappointing that we didn't get to try a lot of their items. The hot buffet bar was really scarce, I mean, just fried dumplings and fries but they were refilled really slow and some never had refills. The boba bar was empty and never filled. The DIY ramen station was closed off. I tipped only because I felt like I had to, but the service was abysmal. I would come back but maybe for lunch instead of dinner. Hopefully service improves.
