Sesame Chicken
Laura H.

Went back again today. This time I tried something different on their menu. I ordered the Sesame Chicken with steamed rice, wonton soup, and a spring roll. The Sesame Chicken was very good and tasty. I liked that they cut the chicken into small cubes so you don't necessarily need a knife. They also give you broccoli with it, but they lay them at the bottom of the dish, so you don't see them until you are almost done with the chicken portion. The steamed rice was really good and tasted fresh. The wonton soup is OK, not as bland this time. I didn't get to taste the spring roll because I got so full so fast. The website works great, you can place your order and select your pick-up time. The cashier is nice and friendly. I have yet to have the time to dine in, but I'll say the dining area is pretty small but clean.

Not some place I'd come for a date, or really with anyone except my fellow buddies who don't give a damn. You can't easily find edible lunch specials for under $8 in this economy anymore, so I have to give The Hunan a 4 star.

Lemon Chicken

This was our first time ordering from The Hunan. We sampled our go-to items and enjoyed everything. I appreciate the microwaveable containers and large portions, especially for the affordable price! Food was hot and fresh, meat tender and vegetables perfectly cooked. We definitely will be coming back.

No glitz or glamour or friendly greeting. This place just cranks out Amazing food!! :) Everything tasted good! Recommend the crab puffs, fried dumplings, Sweet & sour chicken: so crunchy and fresh. Good quality product. Looks delicious. Packaged thoughtfully. Clean establishment. The soups and the chicken wings were also good. This place is busy due to there hard good work and great prices!

Fried pork dumplings
Julie V.

Stopped and got takeout from here during lunch. Pros: The prices are great! One combo meal ($6.95) was easily two meals for me. The combos include your choice of protein, white or fried rice, chicken wings crab puff or spring roll, and egg drop won ton or hot and sour soup. It was a ton of food for the price. It is also conveniently located to the medical center and my order was ready within a few minutes. Cons: Its mostly just fried mediocre Chinese food. Which can be good if you're in the mood for it. I would come back because of the location, portions, and price; but if I wanted some really good Chinese food, I'd find somewhere else

General Tso 's Chicken
Madelina N.

great portions for the price-- I got the general Tso chicken with a soup and chicken wings for only eight dollars. really hits the spot late at night. Convenient and cheap, would definitely get again! Go support local! the sweet and sour soup that came with it had a very interesting flavor with a spicy kick.

General Tso's chicken
Josh S.

No glitz or glamor here. Just quick, in-and-out efficiency, with decent food for an affordable price. We put in an order for wonton soup, rangoons, General Tso's chicken, Mongolian beef, and shrimp-fried rice, and it was ready for pickup only 10 minutes later. Given the price, everything completely satisfied expectations. The food isn' going to win any fine-dining awards, but it's not trying to and the customers here aren't looking for that. So if you want cheap Chinese food in a short period of time, this is the place to go.

Eating at my desk; so yum and hot!

The food is not bad and it's cheap! Not the best but if you live in the area it's much better than Rice Kitchen that place is trash.

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.

My mom wanted steamed fish with ginger, scallions, and that light sweet soy sauce. Hu's Cooking…read moredelivered! When we ordered, they mentioned it'll take about 20 mins but it came out in 10. 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.

IYKYK - this is probably the best Peking Duck I've had in Houston in a long time. 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!
