I have always been a fan of Jinya since my first time at their midtown location over more than a…read moredecade ago. Fast forward to 2026 and I have become an even bigger fan of this particular location. My niece and I absolutely love coming here for their spicy creamy vegan ramen. It has just the right amount of spice and the flavor of the broth is actually oh-so-delicious! Service is always just as great as the ramen. Must order items besides the ramen are the Brussels sprouts tempura, edamame, and the shrimp tempura. I have also tried their miso eggplant appetizer which was good but I do wish that the eggplant was sliced evenly throughout the dish so that it would have the same texture throughout the entire dish. Some pieces were cooked perfectly while others were not tender because of the cut. Regardless the flavor was still there. Really want to try their chicken ramen next because I feel like this particular location makes everything tastes wayyy better than the other ones I have tried in Houston lol.

We ordered the fried egg rolls, grilled pork rice plate and pho tai (with no cilantro of course)! Everything was great!! All the ingredients tasted very fresh and everything came out piping hot! Some observations/personal preferences: it would be great if the fish sauce came out with the egg rolls to dip instead of the sweet-and-sour sauce, and I wish they had soda chanh on their menu since they offer da chanh already... Our server was super sweet! Didn't catch her name but I appreciated that she made me as close to a soda chanh as she could with what she had and it actually tasted really good! Def want to come back and try their banh mi next time!

From the many pho spots I've tried in cypress this place was top 3 for me. The broth was clean but also had the perfect amount of fat on top and it wasn't watered down or bland. The meats were good but the portion was a bit small. But that's probably because I got it to-go and they are trying to fit everything inside the tiny pho containers. I'd have to try this place some more to see if they are consistent. They had my order ready within 10 mins and it was quick checkout .

Hidden gem alert! My family was on our way to a Yelp Elite event up in Spring, TX, and in true Yelp…read morefashion, we decided to take the opportunity to try and support a local business with plans to write a review. So I did a search for Chinese food on Yelp nearby and voila! Noodle Kitchen we shall try. Now the ratings overall are good, but interestingly the vast majority of the reviews within the past year are all 5 stars. How is that possible? Could this place really be that good yet I've never tried it? The curiosity is killing you, I know. So let's dive in. Parking is always a big deal for me, and in this case, parking was no problem. It's a big parking lot with basically unlimited spots as it's in a large strip center. So far, so good. We arrived on a Saturday around 11:30 am hoping to beat the lunch rush - mission accomplished. We were the only ones there. Whenever I try a new Chinese restaurant that offers xiao long bao (AKA soup dumplings AKA XLB), I gotta try it. So we did. And it was excellent. The key is to suck the soup out of the hole on top. And If there is no hole, make one with a chopstick, and you won't spill the precious soup out of the dumpling. They also brought out the special XLB soy sauce with ginger. It was wonderful. Next we gotta get the beef noodle soup. And oh my, dare I say it: it might be the best I've ever had. Call me crazy, but don't call me crazy until you've tried it yourself. The broth was so rich and deep in flavor. I absolutely loved it. Zoom in on my photo. You'll salivate. The hot oil spill noodle was good but not great. I wish the noodles were hand-pulled like I'm used to (I'm spoiled, I know), but it was still good. And lastly, the crispy spicy fish fillet was quite good but a bit pricey and small in portion. The fish from Dumplings and Noodles by Cooking Girl is better, but the fish here is definitely something I would order again. So there you have it for food. Overall - very impressive and I would definitely come back and drive 45 minutes just for the braised beef noodle soup. The service was also really good. There was one older Asian lady who took care of us from beginning to end and she was great. Lastly the ambiance was surprisingly pleasant. Restaurant was spacious, clean, and they even have claw machines for entertainment. The big wonder is, for a restaurant so good, where are the customers? It was quite empty for a Saturday lunch, and we only saw a few to go orders while we were there. This is Spring's well-kept secret when it comes to Chinese food. Enjoy!

The beef noodle soup was one of the best I've ever had, the broth had such a deep flavor and the noodles were perfect texture. It also came with extremely tender beef. Overall, I had a great experience. I'd recommend it if you are in the area.

Service was spot on, quick, and we got our food in what felt like maybe a few minutes. We started off with pork dumplings for the kiddo, which he INHALED in moments. For entrees, we split the orange chicken and the Spicy/Numbing Pot. The orange chicken was spot on. The sauce was sweet but not painfully sweet or thick/clumpy. Really nice orange flavor and tender chicken. So much fun eating it since it is gluten free! Our kiddo also devoured this dish! Mild - not spicy at all! The Spicy Numbing Pot, while a little oily/greasy on the bottom, was still delicious! I appreciated that it wasn't knock your socks off spicy - it had a solid kick, and so flavorful. I love eating dishes with Sichuan Pepper; it has a lot of flavor, and the tingling is so much fun. This dish was perfect with some rice, and it wasn't too heavy for the middle of the day. The prices were really reasonable, and there was enough food for leftovers which we ate later that night. Our only regret is not getting the duck appetizer, but we will be sure to get it next time. We can't wait to go back, and Tiger Noodle will happily be in regular rotation for our family! You can't go wrong!

One of the perks of moving to Cypress? Duck n Bao! I've passed by the Humble location dozens of…read moretimes while making a mental note to return for Peking duck, so who would have thought my entry to Duck n Bao would be via soup dumplings, a Sichuan dish, and Kung pao brussel sprouts for takeout. Not me, that's for sure, but after a long day this proved to be an incredibly welcome dinner! The soup dumplings were plump and savory. The Kung pao Brussels sprouts slightly sweet and sour, and the spicy, crispy, chicken...well it'll numb your mouth, and it will be worth it. Somehow they've found the sweet spot (not literally) by creating that classic Sichuan tongue numbing spice, without creating a spicy dish per se. Apart from the numbness, the dish reads more savory than anything else. I do wish the dumplings came with either dumpling sauce, chili crunch or both, and that the crispy spicy chicken came with something to coat the rice (it's a bit dry with steamed rice alone), but all and all, I enjoyed everything I ordered and will certainly be returning for the full dine-in experience.

They seemed a little nervous or reserved, but they were still very nice to us and it didn't take away from my experience. And one thing I can tell you for sure: if you order tea or water, you WILL get a refill. They do not believe in a half empty glass! Every time my drink started getting even remotely low, someone was already coming over to refill it. I honestly loved how attentive they were about that. Overall, I had a really good experience and was happy that I finally got to visit in person after ordering from them before.

We placed a to-go order and waited about 30 minutes before picking it up. We live 30 min away so it's not like they're close to us. After pickup and leaving the parking lot, we realized the order was incorrect. We received our Tikka Masala, but instead of the Veggie Saag we ordered, we were given samosas. We called, explained what happened, and were asked to come back so they could swap the order. We were already tired from a long morning with our 5-year-old and 2-year-old, but we turned around and came back. What disappointed me wasn't simply that the order was wrong. We understand mistakes happen. It was how the mistake was handled. When we returned, they took back the samosas, charged us the roughly $8 difference for the Saag, and had us wait while it was prepared. There was no real apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience and no gesture to make up for having us turn around and come back because of their error. I understand paying the difference between two items, and I wasn't expecting anything extravagant. But good customer service could have been as simple as apologizing, letting us keep the samosas that had already left the restaurant and likely couldn't be served again anyway, offering us a drink while we waited, or making some other small gesture to acknowledge the inconvenience. Did they offer any of that....nope. Instead, we ended up sitting in the car longer with two tired, fussy young kids while waiting for the correct food after already waiting for the original order. We've eaten here many times and normally have a great experience, which is why this was so surprising. Mistakes with an order are understandable. How you respond to the mistake is what customers remember, and unfortunately, the customer service in this situation fell short.
