    Sweet & Sour Chicken
    Darren N.

    It is so convenient for a college student since this place is right on campus. The menu has a ton to choose from and so far everything I've tried has been excellent! The same guy at the cashier always delivers quick and effective service. The food also comes out fast and steaming. There are no tables inside, just chairs for you to wait on. I usually get the grab-and-go plates because it has everything I want and it's very filling! I've also tried the baos which are always savory. I will be coming more often throughout my college career.

    Came here with my husband to get some dinner before a Rockets game. The food was alright but in my opinion a little overpriced and we waited a long time for our food to come out. There isn't seating in the restaurant so you have to take your food to-go. I got the egg drop and the chicken lo mein. The egg drop soup was pretty good but the lo mein had a lot of oil. My husband got the orange chicken and said it was okay but the sauce was artificial tasting.

    Convenient spot for Chinese food on campus. Nothing spectacular but good, fresh, and consistent. I recommend getting a grab n go plate which is the entree with steamed rice and an egg roll for around $10 with tax.

    Good for a place on campus and not crazy expensive. If you're craving greasy asian food this is the place for you. The worker is very nice and super helpful. The sticky rice shumai has a LOT of rice and can definitely be a meal on its own. Everything comes out hot and fresh.

    Had to wait forever for my food. They said 20 minutes. It was 40 minutes. Order ahead of time. The Bao was huge but on the dry side.

    BEST DUMPLINGS IN HOUSTON! I've tried dumplings from different places but none compare to these. They're always freshly made, really big and a good portion for the price. The place is small but the service is great. It's right by U of H which was really convenient when I was in school. I keep coming back because they're actually amazing! Everyone that I've gone with has loved them as well. If you're thinking about going just do it, you won't regret it :)

    Nice portions. Fast service. A little on the pricey side, but it could be because of the location. Very good customer service.

    Ehh.. 4/10 good in my opinion. The food was missing any type of seasoning and the chicken wings had way too much batter on them.

    Overall very good. The sticky rice shumai is out of this world. The different type of fries are not up to par. The seasoned fries are plain.

    This place is a short walk from campus. Great food at a reasonable price, I personally love the pan fried pork dumplings!

    Excellent fresh food and drinks every time I visit!! The wings are packed with flavor and fried to…read morepure crispy perfection! You get plenty of fresh fries or tater tots with your order as well. Pricing compared to quality of food is great. It's a whole flavor party in your mouth! Customer service is ALWAYS on point from the drink counter all the way to the kitchen staff. The owner is friendly and attentive to all the guest. He makes sure things run properly and that everyone has a smooth experience! I drive 40 minutes across town at least 3 times a week and I'm never disappointed. I've turned all of my friends and family onto this place and they all love it as well. Even in the midst of the pandemic, they have not missed a beat and are practicing safety, social distancing and employees are wearing protective gear, mask, gloves etc while handling food and interacting with customers. Don't sleep on this place. It's definitely the bomb!! I'm a customer for life!!

Unfortunately my server Asia wasn't the most welcoming or friendliest...I attempted to get information on the menu since it was my first time and she gave the impression she didn't want to be bothered. I paid for the 1 drink and hot wings I ordered and went to the Mexican restaurant nearby. She lied and said I was upset that I was "stood up" which wasn't the case but that's neither here nor there. I just won't go there...

    I visited DoDo's Chicken on Wednesday, 6/11 around 4:45 PM, excited to get the chicken and sides…read morethat I usually love. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing for several reasons. First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.

    Terrible service and zero accountability. I placed an online order, but when I arrived, the staff…read morehad decided to close early and refused to fulfill it. Despite having my contact information, they provided no courtesy call or cancellation notice. To make matters worse, the employee was incredibly rude and disrespectful, telling me it "wasn't his problem" and that I had to come back the next day for a refund. Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values its customers.
