    Kung Poa Shrimp
    Melissa H.

    I ordered wonton soup and kung poa. Disappointed with both. Let's start with the soup - the broth was typical but the wontons seemed old and stale. I could barely cut them with my spoon. The meat on the inside was so chewy I couldn't eat it. Next, the biggest disappoint of all was the kung poa shrimp. I eat this dish all the time all types of places. It was so spicy that I couldn't even eat it. It was also 70% onions with some peanuts and shrimp. There were more red pepper flakes than anything. This was a total waste as I am traveling and without a rental car - I ordered this on delivery and am just stuck hungry.

    Special lo mein has no taste or flavor

    The experience for my first time here was ok, could of been better she seem very condescending when introducing you to the restaurant didn't feel no life just excited to take your purchase and get you out the way food is definitely not worth $13+ dollars food has no real taste and meat looks like they love eating raw Bw careful what you consume I would of returned this for my money but I already had left wish I checked it out before I left

    General Tsos Chicken (SPICY)

    DEFINITELY a five star.. VERY HOT food and very delicious . Came in, ordered, lady at the window was very nice and approachable. Will definitely be going here again.

    Fried Catfish Fillet I love it so much the catfish is very fresh and seasoned Y'all go check 'em out best Chinese on southwest side in my opinion

    The nice lady at the front mentioned they are new ownership which started at 2018 - which explains the review is kind of whatever and I was not sure about this place. However, now whenever I do visit Houston, this is a must go take out spot that I frequently visit. Food- 5/5 The meat they use seems to be high quality for the price being. I did not expect too much as this isn't a fancy area (near Chinatown). I always get the chicken wings in spicy garlic flavor while my boyfriend would go for the hot buffalo or general tso. We also always get the mongolian beef because the meat quality is nice. Their tofu is bomb, not too soft where you can't pick it up and not too hard where it is like too grossly deep fried. You can taste the fresh oil that is used and that is really important to me because it means healthy. I also love their hot and sour soup, it's very authentic and hits the spot with spice. I usually cannot handle food that are too spicy, but this one is totally acceptable and mild. This is not a place to dine in, would only recommend for take out. They deliver for only few bucks, which is way cheaper than me ordering take out from grubhub. Highly suggest when you have family party or just hung over and too lazy to cook.

The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

The takeout team member was pleasant enough. They feature an open kitchen with two tops closer to the wall/glass and larger tables more toward the middle of the restaurant.

Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

My friend Aurora wanted to meet Donna early dinner and gossip session and she really liked this place. (We tried having a team lunch at the Rice Village location during the cold front last Oct but they had no heat so we opted for a warmer place but she grabbed a to go on the way home) Here we are for a late lunch 3:45 pm on a Friday. Parking was none had to drive around the block and saw some movement and bam, someone was leaving. We ordered at the bar, staff was super nice and opted to sit outside. Did not realize they deliver to the table. Order: Mongolian beef combo with fried rice and egg roll $14.99 The food comes in takeaway style containers. Win. Mongolian beef (2.5/5) - slightly over sauced for me; beef was pretty tender and there were carrots and edamame which is not the standard so maybe that's what makes it fusion? Fried rice (3/5) - standard style fried with small pieces of bean sprouts which I love so that was a nice surprise Egg roll (3/5) - I assume it was chicken because I didn't realize there was a choice) - it was crunchy and soft on the inside which I like, and pairs well with sriracha (did not eat till I got home) They seem to do a whole lot of take away. The staff were nice and hard working. I was excited when they first opened bc they had chow fun on the menu and being HK Cantonese, I love that dish but when I ordered it the 1st and 2nd time eight years ago instead of bean sprouts they had cabbage and that alters rhe flavor tremendously. I see why it's popular among the people but just don't think it is for my taste.

She immediately asked what we wanted in a rude tone, which set an uncomfortable atmosphere from the start. There was a sign on the table advertising a "free appetizer" if you take a photo and tag the restaurant on social media. I followed the instructions exactly as stated, but when I mentioned it, the server initially refused to honor the promotion. After I pointed out the sign, she appeared upset and walked away. I saw she went to speak to another employee and cracked a smiled and looked over. She later returned and offered a small discount instead. The issue wasn't about the money or the discount, it was the principle. The promotion was clearly advertised, and I simply followed the restaurant's own policy. It was disappointing to feel like the restaurant was reluctant to honor something they were actively promoting. I hope management addresses this because customer service and consistency with advertised promotions make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
