The service was excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised by how many vegetarian options they offered. We ordered the kimchi, kimchi fried rice, vegetarian dumplings, and mapo tofu.

It's not always easy to find restaurants with so many great vegetarian choices, so this was a wonderful find. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

The noodles were not uniform which makes me think they might have been hand pulled noodles. The pork xiao long bao was okay only because the broth had little flavor with minimal dimensions. The pan fried pork and scallion dumplings were crispy and quite flavorful. My diagnosis: good authentic Chinese option in the woodlands.

The cod fish was fresh, lightly breaded and done just right - chunky with a nice level of flakiness. In the case of these fish tacos, I'd let the pictures do the talking. The avocado tacos were made fresh. Black beans and pickled vegetables went well with this star of a dish. The hummus - jalapeno and crabcakes were mediocre. Roberto and the waitress gave excellent service. Water for refill was provided in a milk bottle which was great. Afterall, we are in this hot heat of summer. Requested seating in a booth and got seated at a booth by the windows. Leg space felt better at the booths by the windows than those by the bar. Roberto recommended other dishes I may like to try next time - cauliflower crusted pizza, local kebab, burgers etc. Glad to have discovered this restaurant that was hidden in the woods. It was also associated with owners of Hungrys whom I have patronized in years gone by at their Dairy Ashford and Rice locations.

Black Walnut Cafe in The Woodlands gave us exactly the kind of dinner I love--good friends, a table…read morecovered in shareable dishes, and enough variety for everyone to find something they loved. Jason, Albert, Susan, Sherill, and I basically created our own tasting menu with the Philly Egg Rolls, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, new Crab-Topped Shrimp Scampi, Peri-Peri Garlic Sauce Jumbo Chicken Wings, Blistered Shishito Peppers, and Cauliflower Bites. My personal standouts were the Cauliflower Bites, Crab-Topped Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and Blistered Shishito Peppers. The cauliflower was crispy with that sweet-and-spicy Szechuan sauce, the shrimp came swimming in white-wine garlic butter with capers and grilled bread, the lettuce wraps were fresh and packed with flavor, and those peppers with crispy garlic and miso butter absolutely deserve another order. Jason's favorites were the lettuce wraps, shrimp, cauliflower, and wings, so apparently we can agree on the important things. I also had the Blueberry Mojito made without mint, which made it perfect for me. The restaurant itself is comfortable and inviting--and the blue furniture happens to be my favorite color, so clearly someone in charge of decorating understood the assignment. Great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, plenty of options for sharing, and several dishes we would happily order again. Black Walnut Cafe made our evening together feel a little more special, and we will definitely be back!

I've had this meal more than once, and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. If you're visiting Mia's Table and don't know what to order, the Chicken Fried Chicken with jalapeño gravy is definitely one of my recommendations!

The hostess opened the front door right away to show us inside. My wife ordered the blackened flounder with two sides, southern green beans and the sweet potato cakes, because the server recommended it. I also went with the server's suggestions and ordered the Wagyu chicken fried steak with bacon jalapeno mac-n-cheese and jalapeno cream corn. It might not have been the healthiest choice, but I wanted to enjoy the evening. lol My wife really liked the blackened flounder. The green beans were a bit more overcooked than she liked, though. The chicken fried steak was outstanding and very tender. I liked that the delicious gravy came on the side so the steak stayed crispy. The sides were also outstanding. The GM (Glen, sp?) came to say hello because it was our first time there. I told him everything was wonderful and that we would come back. When we left, the hostess opened the door for us again without missing a beat. Great food, great service, and a lively atmosphere.

For the price, I expected something significantly better. Charging $14 for a slice of cake that tastes this average feels like a complete ripoff. I left disappointed and frustrated with the purchase and will not be returning. To make matters worse, they don't even accept tap-to-pay or Apple Pay. In 2026, that's an unnecessary inconvenience and shows a lack of investment in the customer experience. Between the overpriced, mediocre dessert and the outdated payment options, this was a thoroughly disappointing visit.

I'm always on the hunt to try new Vietnamese spots and sometimes have to travel to The Woodlands…read morefor work and thought that I would give Pho Viet Tastes a try due to high ratings on Yelp. Searching for a banh mi sandwich with tofu for a quick lunch takeout, I was pleased to see that the restaurant was close to interstate 45 for a quick stop on the way back to Houston (timing is everything to beat the traffic in this area - IYKYK). I ended up ordering both the tofu vermicelli and a tofu banh mi because obviously, you need to try more than one thing. It was fine. Out of the two dishes, the vermicelli was my favorite. It came with a generous portion of noodles, a small lettuce and shredded carrot salad, several large wedges of tofu in a kind of curry sauce, and the classic vermicelli sauce to drizzle over the whole dish. The flavor was good, although what I would consider a slight deviation from traditional flavors, and overall filling. Vermicelli is always a dependable choice and I was satisfied with this dish. The tofu banh mi, however was nothing special. I prefer the bread to be a bit more crispy on the outside with a soft interior and this one was fairly soft all over. Inside, the tofu really needed more seasoning, seemingly cooked without any added flavors except for the fried finish. I added some hoisin sauce but still it needed something more. I'm always eager to try new places but not sure that this one will be a repeat for me.

They have a good sized menu as well consisting of apps, salads, bowls, entrees and wraps. Of course, they are family friendly and offer kids meals too. I chose the steak entree since it comes with 2 sides of my choice as opposed to the braised beef which just comes with rice and beans....for the same price. I read they are known for their olive oil lemon cake, if there is such as things as a healthy dessert. I was very impressed with the meal and it seemed to be a pretty healthy choice at such a good price point. The steak was real slices of lean steak that actually tastes like a steak and not rubber. Fruit cup was very fresh and way better than any I've had at other restaurants lately. I wasn't a big fan of their teas, but they're gonna take some getting used to. The olive oil cake was tasty just a little smaller than I had imagined.

1-Star Review: Absolute Disaster - Never Returning to True (False) Food Kitchen…read more We had one of the worst dining experiences imaginable at True Food Kitchen. We ordered our food, and it simply never came. After a long wait, our Brazilian waitress kept stringing us along with repeated false updates about how soon it would be ready. She left us hanging the entire time with zero accountability. What made it even more infuriating was the staffing situation. There were visibly more servers and kitchen staff than actual customers in the restaurant. Yet somehow, nothing was getting done. We watched plates of other customers' food sitting in the pass window for over 10 minutes while seven different servers casually walked right by, letting it sit there getting stale and old. Our server in particular seemed completely disinterested in doing her job--she had zero urgency or care for our table. The cavalier, neglectful attitude from the entire team felt like a systemic problem, not just one bad shift. It was as if the restaurant's "healthy, mindful" branding was just a front for pretentious, ill-mannered service that couldn't care less about actually delivering on basics like getting food to the table. We finally flagged down the manager, who at least gave us straight information: our order would still be another 10 minutes on top of the already excessive wait. At that point, we'd had enough and left without eating. This place is a nest of neglectful incompetence. Between the false promises, indifferent staff, and total disregard for customers, we will never patronize True Food Kitchen again. Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values service.

This place was listed on InKind so I thought I'd give them a try…read more I ordered 2 chocolate chip cookies to go. We waited at an empty table. A little fly came by to hang out with us. The cookies finally came in a brown bag that was taped at the top, so I didn't rip it open to check my order. I mean, it was a simple order and they only have 1 type of cookie on the menu. When I got home I had one cookie that looked like a chocolate chip cookie and another cookie that didn't show any resemblance to a chocolate chip cookie. But I get that sometimes the chips are hidden inside. So I didn't think twice. Well, I can confirm that second was devoid of any chocolate chips. I took mini bites to see when I actually might encounter an actual chocolate chip. But I got nothing. I double checked my receipt and it says chocolate chip cookie and chocolate chip cookie, each @ $2.95. I double checked the menu thinking maybe they gave me another type of cookie but the menu only lists chocolate chip for cookies. So how on earth does a chocolate chip cookie have zero chocolate chips? I think that takes some serious skill to make one without a single chip in it. And I actually might not complain if it was still an awesome cookie nonetheless, but it was a far cry from that. It was a tasteless soft lump of dough. And clocking in at $3 that's just not right. Does this establishment have no quality control to prevent something like this happening? I don't think I've ever experienced something like this at a place charging this much for a cookie. And even commercial establishments like Walmart do a better job. I don't know what "true" means in their name, but for me it only meant only one thing: true disappointment.
