    Chicken and Sauteed Broccoli Entree with onions

    The best darn food I've had in a very long time. Reliable , kind, and amazing customer service

    Egg rolls  5X$5.59

    Love this place , I've yet to try something I didn't like ... The only thing I keep forgetting to ask is for spicy sauce or seracha sauce

    Tofu and vegetables was delish!

    Even though this is not a vegan restaurant I was able to order food without any issues.

    I ate here three times within the last week. If you need a good Asian food fix and live close by, I recommend checking them out. I really like their shrimp in garlic sauce. Their wings are also really good. It has lots of meat on it, a nice crunch, and lots of flavor. Their prices are great. You can get a combo meal for around $7. Many dishes you can get for around $10. The portions are nice as well, and that's coming from a guy who can eat.

    $37.47 Gone! Ordered eggrolls and was charge for the sauce. Ordered house lo mein. They refused to correct.

    We will NEVER GO BACK!!! We have been ordering from Taipei Express for a few months now without any problems. Today was the first day that I decided to call it in and pick it up since I was near the location. Everyone seem so friendly over the phone, until today! My order was taken over the phone while I sat in front of the location., I ordered several dinner items. I was given everything except for the house lo mein. I was also charged for the sauces, although the egg rolls normally come with sweet-and-sour sauce. These items were charged to me at $1.69 per side. I sent teen daughter inside so I could stay outside with my small baby in the car with me. She confirmed the order but didn't look at the items for herself. It wasn't until I got home and noticed that I had two fried rice orders. The house fried rice is what they gave me that was totally incorrect. I wasn't angry at all I just wanted it corrected. I called restaurant and spoke to the lady who took my order., She was beyond rude to me and stated that I ordered the house fried rice! I tried to explain to her that it was no need for me to order another rice. I told her that the only rice I ordered was shrimp. She became very hostile and her tone and constantly told me that's what I ordered. As if something as simple as a switch out was virtually impossible. She went as far as to say that the lo mein cost more then the rice... as if that mattered??? My order was $34.47 and I did not complain about being charge for the sauces so it's obvious I have the money for whatever I want. She was beyond disrespectful and did not offer to replace my order. We order the exact same thing every time we go. They keep a record of everything ordered but when I remind her of that it infuriated her. Horrible horrible service! They do not deserve a single star!

Pretty great for sharing. Loved it! Perfect amount of crispyness Shrimp and pork siu mai - I think it was good but to me it didn't taste fresh to me personally. I think its still quite good in taste though Overall I was pretty happy with this place! The owners were so nice, answering all our questions, recommending options on menu. I would come back!

The dumplings and noodle dishes are fresh and so delicious. Most dumpling wrappers I've tried at other places are too chewy or hard. I like these dumplings especially because of how soft and flavorful they are. And the lady at the register is so nice, even when it gets super busy. It's a lot of self-serve for utensils and such and the atmosphere is cozy. Definitely a must-try if you like Chinese-style dumplings!

You order at the cash register and the menu has quite a large selection of dumplings and buns. You seat yourself and there is a station with cups, a water dispenser, plates and chopsticks. The liangpi is the reason I come to this restaurant. The noodles have an amazing texture and it pairs perfectly with the bean sprouts, cucumber and cilantro. The sesame sauce brings everything together and it's amazingly refreshing and hearty at the same time. The pork leek dumplings have a delicious filling and the wrapper is very clearly handmade with a delicate chew. The pan fried buns were also quite yummy with a golden crispy bottom and fluffy exterior. My diagnosis: come here for the best liangpi and well made dumplings and buns

The got nice wall art too, depicting the popular dishes from the north so I had my expectation and hopes up. Service is ordinary, she speaks little English but can get by ordering, we order first at the counter the sit anywhere. Braised egg is 2 for $3.50, salty but expected since it's marinated. Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

I swear it's just one really long hand made noodle, so it's a bit hard to share, but it's a must-get. We also tried the Claypot noodle and it was good as well but a bit of an acquired taste. The restaurant is located inside Jusgo grocery store. The seating is quite limited so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties. And it's pretty mom and pop, so if that's your jam, go for it. Chairs are mismatched, drinking water is somewhat self-service in small cafeteria-style plastic cups, and tables are small. Like I said - mom and pop, and that's not a bad thing. It's just not exactly a place where you would have a nice business meeting. Service was ok - nothing to note. You pay at the cashier which is like 2 feet from where you ate. Yes, it's a small space.

Not many restaurants in Houston offer Takowasa, which is marinated raw octopus with wasabi; and when we find one that does, it's our must order for appetizers. We also ordered the chicken karaage and agedashi tofu. The karaage was juicy and slightly larger than the size of popcorn chicken. The tofu was soft and lightly battered, however the downside is that it gets soggy quickly since it's sitting in the sauce rather than on the side. For our entrees, we got the carbonara, curry tonkatsu rice, niku tama ankake, and kakuni udon. The carbonara was nice and creamy. The curry rice tastes exactly like the Japanese box curry. The niku tama is more of a thicker soup base similar to egg drop soup, however has a more slightly sweet umami flavor. The kakuni udon had a lighter broth with braised pork belly. The service was a bit slow here, but we didn't mind it too much. The interior had a cute traditional Japanese style decor. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and we'll be back to try other udons.
