    Braised Beef Noodle Soup
    Sean W.

    Got the beef noodle soup, decent but missing a little bit of salt in my opinion. The soup dumplings though were soooooo good. They are actually pretty big, the thickness and texture of the wrapping was really nice and it is filled with lots of soup and juicy meat. Would definitely recommend at least for the soup dumplings, not 100% sure about the other items since I didn't try anything else. The restaurant is bright and clean. The service was great, the server kept checking in on us throughout!

    Pan Fried Mini Buns

    Yelp had sent me a notification that this was a new, hot spot a few weeks back so when a friend wanted Asian for lunch, I immediately remembered this recommendation. The staff was very friendly and had our vegetable spring rolls and fried crab rangoon out quickly. The Spring Rolls were so fresh and crispy. I've never been a big fan of these type of rolls but I would definitely order them again. For our meal we ordered an assortment of items: -colorful pan fried dumpling which is 2 each of shrimp & pork & chive, curry chicken & potato. shrimp paste, bok choy & mushroom. We loved all but the curry ones. I highly recommend this as it's a delicious sample of their dumplings -Pork and shrimp soup dumplings. I had never had anything like this. They were literally like little soups in each dumpling and came out hot as hot and flavorful treats. -Pan Fried Mini Buns - these were ok. The didn't stand out like the other items. I had a hard time not giving them 5 stars but I had an empty water glass at the edge of the table 10-15 minutes and it wasn't filled until someone stopped by to check on us. I would definitely come back though and recommend them to others!

    I walked in and it was really busy for staff. I wasn't approached by anyone so I just placed my order at the kiosk stand. After I was waiting for a bit I was asked if I had already been helped. It's fine but I just wished they had asked me earlier. I thought I wouldn't get full with the cup so I sat down and ordered the soup dumplings which were nice and warm! The fries were delicious and the perfect blend of crispy exterior and soft interior. The mini dumplings were good and juicy with a crisp bottom! The matcha was not good. I'd order a different drink next time. I wish it was creamer/darker. It's easier to get seated with a small party (1-2) because larger groups were still waiting before and after I got sat.

    This place has some work to do. I believe they were overwhelmed with the amount of people in the place. It took us forever to get our food and they forgot a few dishes we ordered. The food portions are tiny and was not tasty at all not to mention overpriced. I have never had peanut sauce that tasted like melted peanut butter. We will not be going back.

    Pork & Green Onion Steamed Dumplings

    Considering the restaurant hasn't been open that long, it was surprising that their menu was outdated. Their menu advertises noodle/soups coming with a side, but we were informed by another server (after ordering) that this was no longer accurate. Our serving was very kind and struggling, and in need of more training that was not occurring. Service definitely needs continued improvement as the restaurant continues to solidify their presence. The steamed dumplings were very nicely steamed and came out hot. The spicy beef soup had a solid flavor profile to it. Atmosphere was relaxed, even as more people started showing up later into lunch time. Their sodas as served in a can, and water served from a filtered pitcher, as they do not have a machine. We would return for the dumplings.

    Not bad, not the greatest! Being from California, it's tough to review this place. The service is decent, the manager was kind to follow up on us but the food was honestly just mid for me.

    Freshly opened, these folks aim to please. Dumplings of a vast variety all made to order. From steamed to boiled to soup dumplings to a few pan fried options. Something for everyone. The soup dumplings are filled with a substantial broth and are very tasty. Everything we ate was amazing. I went with a colorful variety plate and the only one that won't entice me a second time was the mushroom bok choy option but only because I'm not a fan of bok choy. The chicken curry was unique and packed with flavor. One of our orders was delayed and the owner insisted we have a complimentary order of crab Rangoon to compensate. Wildly good and not necessary for a minor hiccup but thanks!

    Shrimp fried rice not much shrimp

    Curry chicken dumplings were good shrimp fried rice lacked shrimp . Husband had the beef noodles were pretty good small portions But

    Food prices

    This is the second time coming and the food is why. We were disappointed this time around due to the male server. My food came out within 10 minutes which was nice I ordered the soup dumplings, (delicious) However my husband order the hibachi plate, we understand it would take longer to cook and when we arrived the restaurant was not at full capacity. To say the food took longer was an understatement. I would've been move understanding if the server would come around to tell us we weren't forgotten about. Instead another server dropped off my husband's food after 30 minutes and afterwards took our payment. It wasn't until we were leaving that he came by one last time to get the plates off our table.

    Pork & Cabbage Dumplings in Sour Soup

    1st time going! Waiter was nice and took good care of us. It was starting to pack in once we go there. Our appetizers and meals came out quickly. No long wait. Food was delicious, my favorite being the hibachi meal and the pan fried dumplings had a nice sear to them! Definitely coming back again!

    Chocolate dumplings

    Tried Dumpling Zone tonight and everything was so good! We ordered the takoyaki, hibachi steak, hibachi shrimp, chicken fried rice, braised beef noodle soup, spicy beef noodle soup, dumplings, and dessert. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the flavors were on point. The braised beef noodle soup was one of our favorites- super flavorful with tender beef and plenty of FRESH HANDMADE noodles. And definitely save room for the Chocolate Dumplings! They were such a fun dessert and absolutely worth trying. We had a big group and everyone found something they loved. Great food, great portions, everyone is friendly and the service is great, and we'll definitely be back!

I made reservations for 6:15 ahead of time and was seated right away. Once we got to our table we were quickly greeted by our first waitress. She was nice but I kinda felt she had a concerned look on her face like someone just told her something that irritated her lmao. My wife said she felt she was giving her a dirty look. Idk. Not because of the waitress, I asked to move a table over because I preferred the view from there. We were initially behind a pillar. The vibe was nice and some patrons were dressed way more casually than I expected. I know it's not a super duper fancy place but still, it surprised me a little. When we moved over we had a few other people tend to us, but Michael was the main one who would continue to come by the most. He was awesome. Super polite and friendly, attentive but not overly. I went out of the way to stop the manager and tell her he was awesome. In the same breath, I said the same about a gaucho named Diego. Apparently he's knew, but he was very friendly and would make casual conversation with us. All gauchos were good, but he stood out. Shoutout Michael and Diego! To drink we had our waters and I ordered this bourbon drink that was good, and my wife had a sangria. The sangria was a very generous portion and she couldn't finish it. Onto the food! I wish I would've taken more pictures but I was in the zone! I only managed to snag a picture of their shrimp appetizer. It was 6 large shrimp with cocktail sauce. It was solid but I'd probably order something different next time. Now onto the meats! I said yes to every single piece of meat that was offered to me lol. Sadly, the filet mignon was my favorite and came out last. So good! Super tender and flavorful. Easily my favorite. I didn't get a chance to try the Parmesan chicken which I remember loving from years ago. Other meats were all solid as well. There was a spicy meat that was runner up. I did make two goes at the salad bar and loaded up on deli meats, cheese, salmon, and their chicken salad. The cheese bread they bring out to you is good too. They brought complimentary polenta and caramelized plantains that were very good as well. I'll definitely be back sooner than later, and maybe sooner than anticipated because I did receive a promotional text from them for 50% off my next visit. I left so full I felt I was sweating haha.

Although it was lunch we also added dessert- the banana foster egg roll, crispy on the outside, great cinnamon flavor, a delicious buttery sauce, so you can pour on top as much to as you like and a soft, sweet, delicious banana filling. Perfect end to the meal on a sweet note. and then also had the black Aji tuna nachos so good lots of flavor some citrus to it. Mushroom risotto amazing. Service: impeccable.

    [EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.
