    Hot and sour shrimp.
    Phil M.

    Always solid food menu in a nice environment. The waiters are friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The hot and sour soup was very good.

    The woodlands is such a forest that you can have an ice, little neighborhood restaurant next door to you and not know about it unless you pull up the map. This restaurant was one of those. Turns out it was the closest Asian restaurant to my house, but I didn't have a clue until he yelp told me about it. This is a good traditional chinese restaurant. Take out or eat in. Comfortable booths. Excellent service. Fairly generic Cantonese Chinese. I would suggest you start at the back of the menu. Tere, you'll find the dinner specials. For 14.95, you can have a complete meal. Including, Soup, appetizers. Main dish. Beverages are also quite reasonable at 250. We had two different pots of tea and they were both good, but go with the jasmine. We ordered two similar chicken dishes. I had the ubiquitous. General Tsao chicken. My wife ordered sesame chicken. They were an identical sauce but one of course, had a great deal of spice added. Overall, i probably should have gone with the sesame. Chicken was excellent. Fresh chicken breast tender. The rice was well done. The vegetables were just right, everything, as i expected. Solid four stars.

    The food is delicious and I believe it's the best in the area for Chinese food. Not fancy on the inside, but you do get really great service here. I highly recommend this place above all other places that I have tried. Go get you some good food and enjoy their very reasonable prices.

    Egg drop soup and Hot & Sour soup

    This is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants in The Woodlands. The vibe is pretty casual but the food is great. They have some unique dishes that you can't find at a lot of other Chinese restaurants in this area. There is a lot of variety on the menu and it goes far beyond basic "Americanized" Chinese food with a great mix of traditional dishes as well. As you can see, the portion sizes are huge. The quality is excellent and a great value. They also have a great lunch special. Service is quick and friendly.

    Orange chicken

    Was referred here by a friend and so glad we came! The service was nice, the food came out hot and it was fresh. Loved the egg rolls!! The egg drop soup is to die for! Kinda hard to find this behind the woods and other buildings! Very clean and comfy booths.

    Spicy Hot Fish  is most genuine and delicious
    Chopin K.

    Excellent waitstaff at lunch today. Amy and Liana (spelling) they were great. Food was very genuine with out Hot Spicy Fish (large bowl) and the best in Texas Yangzhou Fried Rice, not saturated with soy sauce and lots of shrimp chicken ham.and eggs!

    Best Asian food I have had in The Woodlands/Conroe area by far. Had it delivered and the food was still very warm.

    Dumplings & Noodles Delight - Braised Beef Noodle Soup

    Dumplings & Noodles Delight

    4.5(78 reviews)

    This restaurant is located in a strip mall with plentiful parking. The decor is nice however there…read morewas a subtle smell of sewage that made the experience less enjoyable. The waitress was super nice, however it seemed like she just started and only had minimal knowledge about the menu items. The wonton soup appetizer was a very generous size and the wontons were tasty and the soup was very flavorful and light. The braised beef noodle soup was good but nothing special. The noodles were not uniform which makes me think they might have been hand pulled noodles. The pork xiao long bao was okay only because the broth had little flavor with minimal dimensions. The pan fried pork and scallion dumplings were crispy and quite flavorful. My diagnosis: good authentic Chinese option in the woodlands.

    We found this place while visiting The Woodlands, and it ended up being one of our favorite meals…read moreof the trip. The service was excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised by how many vegetarian options they offered. We ordered the kimchi, kimchi fried rice, vegetarian dumplings, and mapo tofu. Every dish was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The portions were also very generous--we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. It's not always easy to find restaurants with so many great vegetarian choices, so this was a wonderful find. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!
