I am not a fan of their concretes and gelatos but my kids like them. I do like their ice cream cookies. I tried to order the 6 pack twice now and was told you can't mix between the Oreo and chocolate chip cookies. While I think that is crazy, it is the rule. What I don't understand is that why I then cannot order 2 - 6 packs of each. It makes no sense. I keep getting told, "we don't allow for customers to mix". Tonight was the third time I have went through this and after tonight, I doubt I will give them a chance for #4. You are losing out on a sale when you say "no". 2 of the 6 packs would be about $40 in lost sales. Is business that good that you can turn down business? Maybe I'm missing something? The ice cream cookies really are good, if you get the opportunity to get one. My kids enjoy the other offerings. They just aren't for me. I could be ok with it if they weren't so rigid on their rules for mixing, but I'm for the life of me, I can't understand a policy that doesn't allow you to purchase 2 - 6 packs of different ice cream cookies. Again, tonight was the 3rd time this has happened so I don't think it is a mistake, or miscommunication. The reason I was given tonight was that they are pre-made so no alterations can be made. Fine, give me 2 unaltered 6 packs of each of the flavors. I just don't understand.

    In the short few years since my initial review, there have been numerous changes that now require…read morean update. Jollibee is still more popular than ever and these four stars are really for what I hope they'll stand to achieve, not what they've been as of late. :: Red Ribbon is of no more (#1) and now Jollibee stands practically alone in its own little corner of the plaza. Instead Baker's Son By Valerio (#2) across the parking lot has become the pseudo Filipino carb hotspot that is resonating well with the community. :: Things are more expensive than ever. A 10 piece is practically $25 and family meals (aka bucket treats) are anywhere from $39-53. In spite of being one of my most made-up words in review form, Foodflation deserves another mention because it absolutely applies here. :: They now have mac and cheese on the menu. It has the same consistency as Popeye's or KFC, which is really not good. it's salty, tastes artificial, and is paltry in portion, especially when considering the price. :: They are also slower than ever. Even when there isn't something happening at NRG, the wait has been as long as 45 minutes for group and I, and even longer for a large order. This is for both takeout and dining in. For drive-thru goers, one will be directed to an open parking spot where they'll eventually bring the food out. :: For folks needing points via the app, it can only be applied using a phone number. They have no ability to scan anything on the app itself. It's just a tinge backwards. The other Jollibee locations are better in terms of execution, but this just happens to be the only one inside the loop. Location is not everything. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/red-ribbon-bakeshop-houston-3 (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-bakers-son-by-valerios-houston

    In the past, I never understood the Jollibee hype. Being a Filipina, I know that's unusual... But,…read moreI do appreciate it much more as of late. It's been YEARS since I've visited a Jollibee, and it seems both the individual locations and the brand as a whole have made a lot of upgrades and changes for the better! The kiosk ordering system is a nice convenience, and (specific to the Houston restaurant) the establishment has been renovated for a more modern & minimalist look. Also worth mentioning: The restaurant was clean, and the crew was organized and efficient. Go, H-Town! Now, the food: I don't dislike the spaghetti, but it's still not my cup of tea... I still can't wrap my head or my tastebuds around the sweet & sugary sauce, and the addition of fatty hot dogs just don't do it for me. The adobo rice is overrated, in my option... a lot of garlic and salt, but missing the essence of adobo. I'll also pass on the biscuit next time (dry and didn't have much going on). However, I totally get why the fried chicken has become so viral! Super crispy, but not greasy. Great flavor & seasoning without being obnoxiously salty (think Popeye's cousin who went to college). And, thanks to TikTok, I enjoyed a chicken skin taco (skin stuffed with rice and drown it in brown gravy). Yummmmm! ChickenJoy is definitely where it's at.

They are good for all weathers since there are cold and hot options for many of their items. This location is clean and with many seating options. The service is relatively quick, just pay attention to when they call your order upon completion. If I could give one suggestion, it would be to add sugar adjustment options to the desserts.

It was hot and humid and all I wanted was a shaved ice dessert with taro balls and boba, so having the taro ball signature really hit the spot. The smaller size, which has a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, large scoop of taro, taro balls, boba, and shaved ice, is plenty for multiple people to share. My group also shared another dessert with sweet tofu and taro, which every Chinese kid is familiar with. Even though I preferred the taro ball signature, this tofu dessert was very nostalgic for me. This is a relatively small location with minimal seating, but it was virtually empty when I visited so we had the place to ourselves and our order came out really fast.

Everything tasted excellent, my personal favorite was the chili wings, incredibly crispy yet very saucy at the same time. Can't go wrong with anything tho, ribeye was not as tender as I prefer but very flavorful Service 5/5: gave fantastic recommendations, friendly, and food came out quickly Ambiance 4/5: casual relaxed ambiance with a bar, clean, well lit. Value 4/5: fair sized portions for the price Overal 4.5/5: excellent food for a decent price, good service in a casual ambiance. Will be back to try other options

My BMP calamansi margarita was distinct in its tanginess. Tried the veggie lumpias and brussel sprouts. The lumpias had tangy dipping sauce that might have been dominated by calamansi. More tang than savory. The brussel sprouts were standard but had a good portion. I tried to detect whether they used fish sauce but I couldn't tell. Ordered the daing na bangus (milkfish) as my entree. They gave me the whole fish and it threw me off that it was mostly deboned since I kept looking for the bones with my tongue and teeth. Fish was nice and crispy and the dipping sauce was more savory than what came with the lumpias. The garlic rice that came with the dish was smoky from that wok hay. Probably could have used a little more soy sauce for flavouring. My favourite dish was the turon dessert (fried bananas) along with the ube ice cream. The coconut sauce they used seemed more like caramel. I haven't eaten much Filipino food so I wasn't sure how authentic the dishes were. I was expecting a little more intensity in the flavours, and I don't know if it was toned down for their customers. There were around ten customers that night. The inside was beautiful and they have a two level patio that is perfect for nights like these. The service was very nice and the kitchen was faster than I expected.
