The food always arrives hot and fresh and perfectly packaged. My only complaint would be that they use dark meat chicken for most of their chicken dishes and I don't care for it. I've only ordered delivery so I can't speak to the dine-in experience.

The service is fast and professional. Hubby had sesame chicken ( some pieces were a little tough to chew). I had the kung pao chicken ( it was quite good). Both sauces were tasty. We shared some steamed pork dumplings (delish). We also had egg drop soup and sweet and sour soup. These were good. Overall this is a solid 3. Good enough that we will come back to test other dishes.

I was a bit frustrated because their website kept timing me out and making me start over again when trying to place four orders. I'm not kidding when I say I spent a good 30 minutes during my meeting to try and order online. I ended up calling to inform the restaurant, but they claimed they weren't aware of any issues with online ordering. Fuji sushi has Chinese and Japanese food so you can get more of a variety. I like that they have lunch specials that are reasonably priced. I ordered the lunch Mongolian shrimp that came with and an egg roll with Hot & Sour soup. The food was okay nothing extraordinary. Unfortunately, there aren't any good Chinese restaurants in Pasadena since Fairway Hunan closed down a long time ago.

Anyway, they're packed into a small business center. They're easy to miss. Thai Jasmine Cuisine is small inside, so not ideal for large gatherings. The decor is lovely and adorable. They have a huge TV screen, but the volume is too loud. There's an abundant of aquarium fish in this place! The staff are kind and the prices are decent. There's no lunch special, though. Our food arrived fresh, with the right amount of spice. Thai Jasmine Cuisine offers catering. But, the seasoning on some of their dishes are gritty. I wouldn't recommend their curry, most of the customers have complained about the texture being gritty too. That's NOT how curry should be! Their spicy wings...aren't spicy at all. You pay at their counter, not at your table. They don't give you enough napkins unless you ask. Unlike most Asian restaurants, Thai Jasmine Cuisine have other desserts besides the usual mango sticky rice and mochi. They have cheesecakes, Tres leches cake, carrot cake, chocolate cake and coconut ice cream. Spoiler: Their aquarium "lion fish" are fake. What's the point of having those?!

You can go to the front counter to pay when you are done

As we walked in the hostess/waitress looked at us and kept asking "what?" at least 4 times before she realized we wanted a table for 2. We were seated and we felt like we were inconveniencing the waitress as she seemed to not really want to be there at all. It felt like wanted to take our orders, and leave our table ASAP. Maybe she was having a bad day, but it did not seem like standard service. The "fresh" soup dumplings were so thick and chewy. Normally soup dumplings are supposed to be thin and delicate but these were the complete opposite. The beef noodle soup lacked flavor all around. I ordered it with wide noodles as the server told me they were around half an inch wide, my noodles came out and they were over an inch wide... which is not what I expected. The scallion pancake was the best item I had that night and that says a lot since it was probably frozen/pan fried. The poor service coupled with the food definitely left a bad taste in our mouths. I wouldn't go back or recommend this place to anyone as there are plenty of other soup dumpling restaurants in the Houston are

The fried rice was perfectly seasoned, the sesame chicken was crispy, and the portions were generous. The staff were friendly, and everything came out incredibly fast. About halfway through my meal, I started farting aggressively, but honestly that just meant I was enjoying myself. Right after I finished my food, I pulled out a chunk of plutonium and started consuming plutonium. The meal was so good that it felt like the natural next course. Nobody questioned it, and I appreciated the judgment-free atmosphere. The décor was nice too. There was a little sailboat tucked away that made me think, "Ahoy there, Dean," for reasons I can't quite explain. Overall, outstanding food, great service, and an unforgettable dining experience. I'll definitely be back. Six out of Seven Stars.

**This is a 3.5 star review based on a to-go order.**…read more I'm a sucker for old school Americanized Chinese food, and this place hit the spot on a recent Tuesday. I don't get across the bridge very often, but I knew that this joint is a beloved local dive with good food. So I took the bait and experienced quick, accurate, and polite service. This place is not expensive, but I'm still not used to paying over $10 for lunch. (My problem. Not the restaurant's.) The egg rolls here are decent. I'm willing to bet that they aren't rolled in-house, since they aren't the short, fat versions that are overstuffed with cabbage. The fried rice is average, but fine. The General Tso's Chicken is seasoned very nicely and came out hot and fresh. My only issue is they actually use white meat! This is actually a great thing for 99% of the population, but I'm a dark meat guy. Finally, the hot and sour soup here is way above average, with velvety strands of egg, crunchy bamboo shoots, fresh mushrooms and a broth that someone actually gave some attention to. If I lived or worked around the corner, I'd very likely be the Yelp Duke of this place. Their recipes are really solid, and the service is spot on.
