    Pork & Green Onion Steamed Dumplings
    Samantha G.

    Considering the restaurant hasn't been open that long, it was surprising that their menu was outdated.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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Definitivo de mis favoritos! Siempre fan de los cortes aquí,…read morepero el queso con miel y tocino dulce, son lo máximo! Muy buena barra de ensaladas, si no te gusta la carne, hasta podrías comer solo de esta barra.

    In my heart, Fogo will always be my first love for the "gaucho experience". But this sadly wasn't…read morethe Fogo I remember. I remember when Fogo first came to Houston around the year 2000. It was the pioneer of modern churrascarias before all the imitators arrived. I used to frequent the old Westheimer location across from Walmart often, and back then it always felt like magic. Admittedly it has been years since I've visited any Fogo, and I'd never been to the Woodlands location before. Before arriving, I had talked it up to my kid telling her stories of days gone by. As we walked, I was hoping the nostalgia would hold ... whelp it didn't. The staff was friendly as it always has been. But after the initial greeting our waiter disappeared. Never saw him again. Our plates were never swapped out like they used to do. And in fact we just kept eating off our used salad‑bar plate. So much for fine dining. And No pão de queijo! I kept telling my kid about the legendary cheesy bread here. We didn't get any. Nada. And in fact we didn't get any of the sides. And I eventually had to ask for the complimentary mashed potatoes after being well into the meal because my kid kept asking when the mashed potatoes would arrive. The asparagus on the buffet honestly looked like green beans -- a far cry from the thick, vibrant stalks they used to serve. I remember they were like stalks of carrots back in the day. Some of the meats weren't even warm. And some of the cuts were tough. No premium meats ever made it to our table. The green/red steak medallions on each table to flip over indicating "more meat!" used to feel like part of the whole experience -- solid, good heft, almost ceremonial. Now it's just paper cutouts. Not just this location but the Westheimer one too in this regards. It felt like Fogo was basically admitting they're cutting corners on the tiny details that used to make the meal feel more premium. And honestly, those medallions discs mattered. They made the whole "more meat / no more meat" thing feel official instead of arts-and-crafts cut outs they have now. And the flies here. Ugh. So aggressive and persistent. I have no idea how they got inside the establishment. But they were annoying and relentless. At the end of the meal my kid looked at me and said, "Can we just go to LongHorn next time?" I really wanted to pass down the magic that I had remembered, but honestly I couldn't argue with her. "You bet," I told her. It kind of reminded me of seeing Depeche Mode as an adult -- the nostalgia was there, but the feeling just wasn't. Some experiences are better preserved as memories, rather than trying to be revived and relived. This unfortunately was one of them. Sigh.

The staff were very friendly when we entered. We didn't have a reservation, but they sat is quickly even though the place was pretty full. I went for one of their Benedict options and son went for good old fashioned spaghetti. I liked mine and he finished all of his. For him, finishing food means it was on point. He is so picky. The restaurant itself is a mix of elegant and casual for brunch. It's also nestled in Hughes Landing meaning there is plenty to do on foot before and after. (For me, that means a visit to Fleet Feet.) Anyway, the brunch was solid.

Unfortunately, the scallops had a noticeable odor and tasted off, which made me feel they were not fresh. I mentioned this to our waitress, and I was surprised that no replacement or alternative was offered. I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary, but some acknowledgment or effort to address the issue would have been appreciated. Aside from the scallops, the rest of the food was okay. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we chose to sit outside, which made for a very enjoyable evening. Note: I would avoid ordering the scallops since they seem to not be fresh.

There have some add ones like mushrooms, grilled onions and a horseradish Parmesan crust which is fantastic and several other options. If you can set with Brenda, she is an amazing waitress.

Queen Avis from New Orleans greeted us with such grace and charm that it felt like the first hint we were in for something special--something closer to heaven on a plate and a truly relaxing evening. Then we met Brenda. Calling her a "server" doesn't do her justice; she was more like our concierge of the evening. She asked a few thoughtful questions about our preferences and then guided us through wine and menu selections that were absolutely perfect. I ordered the prime rib with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes--phenomenal. My wife chose the Chanel No. 5, which was equally unforgettable. And the bananas cheesecake? Easily one of the best cheesecakes I've ever tasted. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We'll be talking about this experience for a long time.

The manager had another prepared and it too was overcooked. However I will say it was very tasty. The bill provided suggested gratuity for different percentages.

Our waitress shortly approached to take our drink and appetizer order. The complimentary bread and butter was delicious; soft, warm and flavorful. I ordered the caviar service to start and it also did not disappoint. For our entrees we ordered 6oz filet medium and 8oz well done. Both were good however my medium was slightly over cooked. We also ordered Brussels sprouts, mac n cheese, and loaded baked potato. Brussel sprouts were a bit overcooked but everything else was fine. Our experience was pretty good! When comparing it to other steakhouses within their tier, they fell just a little short. We also noticed the inconsistencies with how waitstaff tended to tables. Our waitress was good, however the waiter who served the table next to us, went above and beyond! He really gave 5star service just by his level of attentiveness, desire to serve, and going the extra mile. We noticed the vast difference between the two. But overall, it was a good experience.

They specialize in a variety of bruschetta boards, which is what I was most excited to try. Some of the bruschetta options were just okay on their own, and I think a little balsamic reduction or a drizzle of olive oil would have added more flavor. My recommendations are the Sweet & Spicy Pepper Jam with Goat Cheese and the Burrata Bruschetta with arugula and tomatoes. Soooo good! The wines were amazing, and I loved that I was able to sample a few before deciding what to order. Overall, I think Postino is a great spot for a girls' night, catching up with friends, or just enjoying a chill evening out. I would definitely come back!
