    Ordered general tso with fried rice, I ate my rice first, then proceeded with the meat, I tried biting into but the texture felt a little off/weird, so I told myself let me cut it, and umm no because wtf just freaking unbelievable and disgusting ‼NEVER FREAKING AGAIN‼‼‼‼

    Amazing Chicken entrée
    Monica B.

    This little restaurant is not far from my house in a large shopping center. There is plenty of parking, as it's a large shopping center, but it's also very busy, so getting in and out can be a pain, depending on the time of day or evening. The familiar smells of great Chinese food hit you before you even step inside. The seating is large enough, but I imagine it gets really busy around lunch time, though you can probably still sit and eat if you choose. The service was quick and attentive, and very helpful in answering questions about the dishes. We had the Amazing Chicken entree and the Kung Pao Chicken. Both were delicious! I would have tried more, but I was recovering from a sickness and really couldn't eat more. We can't wait to return to try more.

    Today I bought at 17:20pm, The first I found hair inside of the box at corner and found again while I eating inside the fried rice see the photo I uploaded with the receipt.This is so disgusting ,I throw out, they don't have hygiene at all. I don't want any recommend Chinese food at all. Done.so so disgusting. Katy county food department must inspection immediately all Chinese restaurants the whole county.

    Happy Family

    The flavor is ok and typical for Chinese food takeout but the portions are SMALL, like a bowl of cereal size. You can see my picture for size comparison to a soy sauce package and these are dinner size orders. Happy family were about $14 with not much vegetables and Orange chicken as dry for $12. Lo mien noodles is the only one that was a decent size and taste good for $9. Sorry, but I will try other places in Katy to compare sizes to see if this is the norm here before I increase my star rating.

    Lately, I've been ordering this meal with high hopes (Salt & Pepper Shrimp) it gets worse and worse every time. Tonight was the absolute worse. Theres shrimp on my entree that looks like they clearly were cooked at two different times. One was overcooked and the other under cooked the breading was doughy in the middle. No flavor at all. And there's also something black debris all over my shrimp... disgusted.

    BF hosted a major get-together for friends and chose this gem as the gathering spot. No regrets all…read morearound--everyone thought it was a great place to eat, catch up, and spend the afternoon. Malaysian Grilled Chicken Satay - Super tender with a sweet peanut sauce that really accentuated the flavors. Probably my favorite appetizer so far--had to be extra careful around my BF after this! Definitely my brother's personal favorite; I'm sure he ate 3 of them! Hainanese Chicken & Rice - Very tender and chewy with a mild flavor. The ginger-and-scallion sauce at the bottom was very refreshing, and the aromatic rice was among the most delicious I've had! I saw that the grains looked similar to Vietnamese broken rice because they weren't fully rounded. For some reason, this made the texture so much more appealing to me. Curry Chicken Puff - Love the curry flavor of this and the delicacy of the puff pastry. The shell isn't too thick, and the vegetables are very well infused with the curry, making them strong contributors to the overall flavor. Despite it being a pastry, I didn't feel overwhelmed by the carbs--indicating that the breading-to-stuffing ratio of this sat at the perfect pinnacle. Malaysian Roti Canai - One of my absolute favorite dishes here. I would come to this place just for this--the whole table compared the combo to crack. No joke. The chicken and potatoes are some of the most tender pieces in this dish, and you could slurp the broth like it's its own dish. I watched this go way too fast, and even two orders per table were not enough to satisfy the crowd. Malaysian Roti Canai (w. Egg) - Love the original much more, but this was still very delicious. They made the egg very thin, so it didn't overwhelm the roti. The egg took away from my favorite roti taste, but it was so well seasoned I wasn't even that angry about it. Malaysian Char Kuey Teow (Migoreng) - OOH. This has a unique flavor--much more savory than packaged ramen. The texture of the noodles is very inviting. It's much less salty compared to the pre-packaged Migoreng. The flavor was more umami. Rich, deep, and just the perfect amount to coat the noodles. Stir-Fried Mixed Vegetable (w. Tofu) - This is a very saucy vegetable dish, but I didn't mind it at all. I loved it, though it was the last dish I had and I was definitely stuffed by then. The sauce reminds me of a thinner Migoreng sauce--more viscous than a loose sauce, but not as thick as Migoreng. Very good, but my taste buds were definitely overwhelmed at this point. Malaysian Milk Tea - Not as sweet as I expected. I was told the tea leaves were imported from Malaysia, and our table ended up ordering six of them. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is something I'm very fond of, and the tea flavor is exceptionally rich. The milk infusion in this is peak. Malaysian Lime "Calamansi" & Plum Drink - Tasted like a lime-tamarind drink to my BF, while my brother and I thought it tasted like Vietnamese chanh muối. Overall, Uncle Chin's lived up to the hype, just as I knew it would from the day my BF brought home leftover roti from his very first visit. The buzz of having 16 people definitely distracted me from paying close attention to every dish--I even missed taking a few photos--but one thing remained true: everyone was talking about the food. Every time a new dish came out, the table erupted with commentary about its flavor, uniqueness, and overall impact. Some dishes stole the show more than others (my lovely roti, hello), but every single one earned its place on the menu. Very sad we didn't get to see Uncle Chin sing, but with 16 people to serve during the lunch rush, I'm sure he was pretty overwhelmed.

From the outside, Uncle Chin's Kitchen looks like a generic…read moreneighborhood Asian restaurants you could easy pass by and miss, but the food tasted anything but generic! I literally had the best roti conai, roti telur, curry puffs, and stir fried vegetable dishes I've ever had in my life, and I've had quite a few! Definitely a big thanks to my fellow Yelper David for organizing this for a handful of us for a friendly gathering, where we shared a few dishes family style. Personally, I much prefer trying a little bit of a few things than one big dish that I can't even finish alone! I'll need to swing by sometime when I want to grab lunch or dinner since it's fairly close to me as well. I had people tell me not to move to Texas because I'll miss Asian food, but clearly Houston is another beast that does a lot of things right in that aspect.

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!

The decor is attractive, it reminds of Cantonese restaurants in NYC. We ordered the fried squid(won't order again, no flavor and batter is very oily, like was fried in old oil), the green beans with grounded meat(good flavor but there's hardly much ground meat, it was more like a garnish), and finally the honey walnut shrimp(won't order that again either, for $25, there was 13 small shrimp and not very saucy). So in all, I did not love these dishes, they were just average tasting but the prices were high for such average to below average taste. There are other choices within walking distance for better tasting food that cost less. I have heard that they have good wonton noodle soup and congee so will try that next time before I write off this restaurant completely, but honestly, it's cheaper and those 3 dishes I ordered are cheaper and tastier at Tan Tan Wok.
