    Garlic On Fire, with beef, medium heat...delicious!!
    Michelle H.

    This was such a great quick lunch spot. The service was remarkable. Everyone was extremely friendly. Had a hot & sour soup which was delicious and the garlic on fire dish, medium heat, with beef...very good. I love a great sauce and this was it!! I'll be back very soon.

    I always order this place to go. The food has always been good! Very big portions too at least two servings. The food is always ready on time when I go to pick it up. They use a lot of veggies!

    Had this place recommended to me and was excited to try it out! The restaurant itself was very quiet and peaceful. I'd gone on Friday afternoon and it was just my group there. The waitress was very attentive and made sure to check on us a good amount. Grabbed the yellow curry with chicken and it was SOOO YUMMY! The portion was very large! I ate half of it and took the rest home. I ordered the spicy 3/6 and it felt perfect.

    General Tso's Chicken supposedly?!?!?
    Tammy M.

    OK I ordered General Tso chicken... What I got I have no idea what this is. I got chicken nuggets, fried chicken nuggets with carrots and broccoli as a side and a sauce that had peanuts in it which makes no sense because General Tso chicken doesn't have peanuts! It's so disgusting I can't even eat it. I've had to throw away both orders if you buy one and get one for it now I know why.

    Very quiet place on a Friday night with lots of take out. The food was really great and they have a wide assortment. We ordered Orange chicken(homemade sauce was insane), pineapple curry, a couple of sushi rolls, egg drop soup, and cheese rolls. D'Angelo was helped and very friendly.

    Red Dragon Roll

    This is a very quiet place to dine. If you want spicy Thai food try 6/6, it has a wonderful flavor. The service that I have received has always been excellent.

    Egg custard dessert

    I had the panang curry and thom yum soup. My husband had the spicy salmon roll and drunken noodles. We both shared the egg custard with sweet sticky rice for dessert. All the food was delicious and the servings were surprisingly large so we were able to share. I definitely will be returning or ordering takeout from here.

    Egg Drop Soup with Chicken

    Restaurant ambiance seems ok upon entry, service is average. You better love sugar because they put it in everything! (Including the soy sauce) Fried Rice would have been ok except they added sugar. Sushi rolls are way to sweet. They even added sugar to the Sriracha sauce for crying out load. Egg drop soup smells like dirty dish water. H‑E‑B has much better sushi rolls next door. Skip this place if it's not already out of business.

    Spicy basil beef with roll, soup and rice

    We came across this place on yelp, while searching for Thai restaurants in that area. In my opinion, all the Thai restaurants taste the same, although people have tried to convince me into believing that Thai Gourmet is the best. My search is still on. Thai Jin was a good choice with good taste tasting food, but again its not something that stands out. After being seated and drink orders taken, we ordered from the lunch special. I normally get the pad kee mao with beef, but this time around went with spicy basil beef, that came with a small cup of soup, small mini salad and a spring roll. My friend went with a ginger chicken, which also came with the same side items. My beef dish was good, sautéed with onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, baby corn and garnished with crushed peppers. I went with level 4 spicy. The ginger chicken was pretty good also. Came with a nice amount of veggies with protein and nice ginger kick to it. Service was up to par. We got our refills on time and waiters kept checking on us to ensure everything was good. If I happen to be in the gessner/long point area, I will stop by here again.

    We ordered and paid for our food through yelp, so that it would be ready when we arrived. We got the pad Thai with tofu (upcharge for tofu is kind of odd, but oh well) and the chicken with broccoli. When we arrived, our food was ready to go and packaged up, and the gentleman who handed off our food was friendly. When we got back, we were not disappointed with our choices. We were slightly surprised when we opened the pad Thai, and there was a thin layer of an omelette type thing covering the noodles. It tasted fine, but we have never had pad Thai served in that way. We asked for the tofu to be cooked crispy in the order notes, and fortunately, they complied. The food had a good amount of spice, and lots of texture due to fresh bean sprouts, peanuts, and crispy tofu. The chicken and broccoli was served in a bowl and was accompanied by carrots cut into discs and by a thin, light sauce. I was hoping for chicken that was not battered or fried, and I got just that. The steamed white rice was served in a separate container. Overall, I really enjoyed the dish and would order it again.

    Look no further for authenticity, flavor, and complexity in Chinese cooking near the med center!…read more Though we opted for more "simple" dishes during this experience, you can judge a place by if they can do their simple dishes well. The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

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've done Peking…read moreCuisine for years and shifted to Arco for my duck cravings, but if you're willing to drive out to Humble (pretty much anytime you're in the IAH area), you gotta check out Bamboo House for the best Peking duck. And their other menu items are fire as well! We went on a Sunday late evening. We had a 9 pm airport pickup at IAH so it was a perfect opportunity to grab a spectacular dinner and make the 30+ minute drive out to IAH totally worth it. Parking lot wasn't too full so that wasn't an issue. While the neighborhood ain't River Oaks luxury, it ain't too scary either. We kept it simple - ordered a whole duck and Bamboo House Special Noodle with Beef. This place ain't cheap but the food is worth every penny. It was very busy that evening so it's not a well-kept secret but also proves that eventually, Houstonians will figure out where the good food is. The duck was near perfect. They serve the duck with the pancakes (as opposed to the buns like at Arco) which is my preference. The soup that comes with it was also extremely flavorful. And the house special noodles with beef - oh my. I swear it's just one really long noodle so you may be frustrated trying to divvy up the family style bowl, but the labor is worth it. So good... Can't wait for my next airport run so I can sneak in a lunch or dinner at this place. So many other menu items I want to try!

I had previously visited the now closed Bamboo House on Westheimer and I remember being impressed by the food. I had to make an airport run and decided that it would be perfect timing to stop by this location. I highly recommend ordering the duck ahead of time, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the last ducks when we arrived around 7 pm on a Sunday evening. The waitress was super friendly and upbeat and the restaurant is older but well maintained. You can see where the food is being prepared/cooked and you can see ducks being cooked/warmed behind a glass window. The duck was absolutely spectacular with the perfect seasoned and tender meat accompanied by well rendered crispy skin. I love how the pancakes are paper thin and pair well with the scrumptious duck and other toppings. They also provide sugar and plum sauce as additional toppings which I thought was interesting but not my cup of tea. The duck soup was extremely flavorful and full bodied and went well with the duck. The noodles were also amazing with likely hand pulled noodles served with an abundance of tender beef and vegetables with a little Sichuan kick. I was intrigued by a strawberry chicken dish that I saw on the menu and I plan to try it the time. My diagnosis: hands down the best Peking duck in the greater Houston area!

Lucky for me, they have their own parking lot, which already made everything super convenient. I walked in around 1:30 PM and was back out by 1:55 PM, so the service is definitely fast and friendly; perfect for a lunch break. The lunch menu has a huge variety of options, and every plate comes with fried rice and a pretty big egg roll. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but the quality of the food was fantastic. I can totally see how they've stayed open for 50+ years. I ordered the beef and broccoli... which honestly should be renamed to beef and vegetables, because it came with broccoli, carrots, and onions. Not complaining, though! The beef was tender and kind of reminded me of a beef fajita texture with how flakey and tender it was. The sauce was savory with garlic and soy sauce flavors and I really liked it. The veggies were cooked perfectly for my taste: still a little crunchy and not soggy. My only complaint was the onion. They were a bit too crunchy and raw, which made them super spicy and pungent, so I just moved them to the side. The egg roll was good, too! It tasted freshly made with cabbage that still had some crunch, which I love. Portion-wise, it was absolutely perfect. I finished everything except the onions and left feeling satisfied. Not heavy and not carrying leftovers, which I appreciate because some Chinese spots over serve. I paid about $20 including tip. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place and would definitely come back for lunch again.

My friend Aurora wanted to meet Donna early dinner and gossip session and she really liked this place. (We tried having a team lunch at the Rice Village location during the cold front last Oct but they had no heat so we opted for a warmer place but she grabbed a to go on the way home) Here we are for a late lunch 3:45 pm on a Friday. Parking was none had to drive around the block and saw some movement and bam, someone was leaving. We ordered at the bar, staff was super nice and opted to sit outside. Did not realize they deliver to the table. Order: Mongolian beef combo with fried rice and egg roll $14.99 The food comes in takeaway style containers. Win. Mongolian beef (2.5/5) - slightly over sauced for me; beef was pretty tender and there were carrots and edamame which is not the standard so maybe that's what makes it fusion? Fried rice (3/5) - standard style fried with small pieces of bean sprouts which I love so that was a nice surprise Egg roll (3/5) - I assume it was chicken because I didn't realize there was a choice) - it was crunchy and soft on the inside which I like, and pairs well with sriracha (did not eat till I got home) They seem to do a whole lot of take away. The staff were nice and hard working. I was excited when they first opened bc they had chow fun on the menu and being HK Cantonese, I love that dish but when I ordered it the 1st and 2nd time eight years ago instead of bean sprouts they had cabbage and that alters rhe flavor tremendously. I see why it's popular among the people but just don't think it is for my taste.
