I have ordered take-out from this restaurant several times and have always been happy with their food. I would say that their food represents a combination of primarily "authentic" Sichuan cuisine while also offering dishes like General Tso's chicken and Mongolian Pork and even a couple of Chinese-American dishes like Cream Cheese Rangoon. There's something here for everybody and it's all excellent! Last night, my wife and I ate at the restaurant for the first time, and the meal was perfect! I ordered the 3 Savory Pepper Chicken, sautéed bok choy, and Shredded Pork with Baby Bamboo. The 3 Savory Pepper Chicken has the perfect "mala" flavor you expect in so many Sichuan-style dishes - hot and numbing with excellent flavor. The bok choy was cooked to just the right texture, and the shredded pork was a great choice, especially for those who do not want spicy flavor. The service last night was excellent! Despite the restaurant being quite busy making take-out and delivery orders, we still received our meal quickly and without any problems. The staff at the restaurant were happy to answer questions and give guidance on what we would like. Will definitely come back here soon! Even if you're used to eating at Houston Chinatown restaurants, it's worth the drive out to NW Houston to eat here! read more

the food was amazing, good flavor and didn't take long to come out. Although the service was the one thing that I disliked very much. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is a family owned business. I was the only person dinning in and I kept getting looks at by the owner and they told me they didn't want to make dumplings because it took 20 min but I was okay with it and the server looked very upset because I wanted something I was going to pay for. Next another person came to eat and they treated them with so much respect. read more

This was our first time ordering from here because of the high ratings, but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. The ordering process was frustrating--you have to download an app called Dine. While the app's menu was better than the restaurant's own website, it wasn't actually taking online orders. We placed a pickup order, but there were still service and processing fees, which felt odd for takeout. When I arrived for pickup, the order wasn't ready due to their system being down. They also didn't provide condiments like soy sauce, which was surprising. We ordered the sesame & orange chicken, shrimp fried rice, and chicken stir fry noodles. The rice was undercooked, and the chicken dishes were dry. The stir fry noodles were the best item--flavorful and well made. Portions were average, but we also didn't receive any fortune cookies. Overall, between the ordering hassle, extra fees, and inconsistent food quality, I wouldn't order from here again. The pictures illustrate $70 cost from food to fees and tip. read more

Gosh I was super excited when I found this place. I mean excited to the point where I came 3x a week. Eating the same things. Pineapple shrimp fried rice. Yeah it was that good. Previous event: There has been some errors with my egg rollls. I paid for 2 and received one. And the one I got was bad and cold. She only agreed to replace one. Um. Wasn't to satisfied with that. This particular night my son wanted simply fried rice with egg. (No veggie no meat. ). Rice and egg ONLY. is $13. I order the same pineapple shrimp fried rice. The fruits were the core part of the pineapple, not good. And my son order was noodles only. When I call she told me on the phone she can replace within 20 minutes or come back another day. She told us to keep the noodles. Which if she wanted that back I would never ever order from there again for several mental reason. I already don't eat off a public flatware. And she don't offer any plastic ware. So definitely can not take my son school meals from here. No plastic ware I asked for duck sauce. She says she don't have any. I paid nearly $30 for rice and eggs (little hard core pineapples and tiny shrimp) and no duck sauce. I flew back there because I believe it'll need to be within the 20 minutes. We get there and had to wait for 20 minutes. Which is what she was NOW saying while we were at the store. Something was going on in their kitchen. And ppl were coming in collecting large bags of food. And I'm waiting on rice I paid before. And my food is cold at home. I asked if she had duck sauce and can I get 2-4 packets. She gave me the rest. 8 packets. THIS IS THAT ISH I BE TALKING ABOUT. Then when my son collect his correct food. And I thank her. While exiting she speaks in Cantonese. Girl bye. You won't see my black face again. Or collect these black coins. I really loved this spot too she has a reward program and all. Yall know I love a loyalty program. Who knows maybe I'll try next year. Until then I'm on the hunt for a new Chinese restaurant with the BEST FRIED RICE. ONCE I MASTERED MY HOMEMADE FRIED RICE GOOD LUCK getting my business. My nail guy already told me what to collect. Wait till I find a good msg or accent seasoning read more

Layering on things we continue to try. We got it Togo this time and everything still turned out delicious. If you are looking for a good tounge numbing Sichuan I still say look no further. read more

I've been back several times since my original visit and have been enjoying the menu fully! My recent discovery was their pork dish that looked like pork belly, but had a good chunk of meat beneath the skin. The owner explained that the dish had been steamed with a light light brown sauce on the top completed with bok choy. The entire dish was a fork tender, very decadent and lovely. A real contender when you don't have time to visit Bellaire Chinatown or Katy Chinatown. read more

Food is great, I highly recommend the spicy wontons they are delicious! The owner Janice is very sweet and her service was amazing!

We enjoy the dumplings and I like they have congee soup. Their food has not disappointed and the last time I went I had the pleasure of meeting (I think) the owner. Her daughter was checking me out but the owner came up to counter and we started talking. I think I've had some noodle dishes as well but to be honest I can't remember which ones anymore. read more

Since I cannot get to Cooking Girl in downtown Houston, this is an outstanding offering for up north. Especially for Sichuan. Their beef and tripe is outstanding! My only gripe is, it's not spicy enough for me. Ha ha ha. What can I say? I like spicy! The Sichuan flavors are amazing though. I have not had a chance to attend the establishment, I usually just have the food DoorDash. Good food earned this establishment a rock solid four stars since I have not had a chance to interact with their staff yet. read more

I'm not sure where to begin, but I'll start with the owner. I wish I could leave 10 stars She was as sweet and welcoming as she could be, she gleefully greeted me and thanked me for supporting her small business. We struck up a conversation as we always do when I come in for some yummy food, and waiting on my order. She explained to me some of the many hardships of running a restaurant and how horrible some people can really be for no reasons. Red hot chili burrow hasn't been here very long to have all these crazy encounters I hope we can lift her up and show her the support In these hard times, she deserves it for the job she does so passionately. Anyways I will get on with the food, You can tell the owner takes pride in her business, the food is always hot, fresh and delicious and served with a smile and so much gratitude. We choose take out for dinner on 7/26/2025 and we had the sweet garlic chili oil shredded pork, chicken and broccoli both with steamed rice, hot and sour soup, 2 orders of the chili oil wontons they are the absolute best in the country!!! They are seriously to die for they are that good, we also had the crab cheese puffs they are also some of the best I've had ever. The portions are very generous and they load it up with sauce and I love that because I'm a huge sauce guy I enjoy it drizzled over top of my rice. We have tired many dishes so far and haven't been let down yet. If your ever in the Bear Creek/Copper Field 77084 area choose Red hot chili burrow for lunch or dinner you'll be glad you did weather you are dining in or taking it to go show some love to the people who appreciate it and take the time to get to know their customers. The photos don't do the food justice but I promise it was all delicious and a crowd pleaser. read more

We have been mourning the loss of @MALA on Fry Road, which folded due to pandemic, but this Sichuan place popped onto our radar. We tried it yesterday, it's a worth successor, and we will be back often. My favorite was Spicy Dan Dan noodles, we ate these so quickly before we have the chance to take a picture. They were loaded with tons of Sichuan peppercorns (mala spice) which make your tongue and lips literally vibrate (fun fact - historical US import ban - From 1968 to 2005, the United States Food and Drug Administration banned the importation of Sichuan peppercorns). Good thing the ban is over because I can't get enough. The fish and tofu was excellent, and also loaded with mala spice. The serving was huge... we took a lot home. If you like Duck N Bao on US 290, you'll like this one too, possible better as it seems more authentic. Yup, when PORK INTESTINES are on the menu, it's authentic! Jennifer says her Uncle, the chef, refuses to Americanize his dishes, he wants to cook them like home in Chengdu. I heartily agree. Keep it up! read more

everything way too salty and too much oil. I will change my review higher if I see quality changes on my next visit.

Don't let the smaller size of this restaurant fool you, as the food was truly amazing! I ordered the hot and sou soup, cucumber salad and Szechuan chicken. All dishes were large in size and delicious! This is a real gem for a Chinese restaurant in Cypress. The pictures of their dishes in the menu is nice plus, not typically seen in a menu when wanting to try new dishes. I will definitely be back! Go - you won't regret it! read more

The crispy chili chicken and mayo tofu are so good. It is some of the best I have ever had. We frequent here every time we come to Houston. I wish I had the recipe for both dishes!!! read more

I was surprised to find an authentic Szechuan restaurant on this side of town, and I'm happy to say it's quite good! The owner is super friendly and fun to talk to. Everything I've tried here is delicious and has that classic numbing spicy effect that Szechuan food is known for. My personal favorites would have to be the spicy eggplant, Mapo tofu, and fried squid. They have large portions that should be eaten family style. Good prices for the amount of food you get... and they have a lunch menu that you should take advantage of! This is my new go-to spot if I want Chinese food close to home! read more

If you like spicy, this is your spot! Szechuan Chinese is one of my favorites for its diverse flavors and extra spicy kick. There are many places in Houston that do it well, but this place is a hidden gem that needs to be recognized! It's a small place and they make everything fresh to order. The Szechuan spicy chicken (photographed) was glistening from being poured on the plate just seconds before. The eggplant (photographed) was also boiling hot. Not photographed was the Tiger noodle soup (can't remember the exact name)... you can't miss it because it's one of the items with the highest count of little chili peppers next to the name. It was spicy! I personally enjoy that level of heat, but I was sweating! Also tried the spicy wonton which were made in-house and swimming in that spicy oil. They were my favorite item! The service was very nice and welcoming. They are a busy spot for dinner with many to-go orders coming in, but I promise... if you have to wait a little bit, it's worth it! read more

So excited to have found this restaurant. We did carry out yesterday and the food was awesome! Portions were huge and fresh. The flavor of everything was wonderful. We had the house fried rice, beef & broccoli, house fried noodles and crab rangoon. It was the BEST crab rangoon I've ever had. The egg rolls weren't my style. The flavor was good, but not what I prefered. Will definitely be going back! read more

I think I found my go to Chinese place. I haven't found a Chinese place in the area that I really like enough to order multiple times, but I ordered take out recently and I will order again. The hot and sour soup and general tso's chicken both had a nice kick to it and were flavorful. Everything tasted freshly made. I liked the white rice. It was a medium grain rice vs the regular Chinese restaurant rice that is dry and falls apart. It isn't too expensive, but when I think of Chinese food, I think of $10 or so (pre-inflation brain). It is more like $13-$14 a dish on average. read more

We went to this place before going to a friends house. We ordered ahead for pickup. Just an FYI, there is a $3.00 charge to use cards VS using cash. We were ok with that. The food was ready when we got there 12 minutes later, the inside was very clean. The woman at the register was very polite. We ordered 2 general tso chicken, 1 orange chicken and a Mongolian beef, each entry comes with a carb, so we got 2 white rices and 1 low mein, and we also got a big order of chicken fried rice. The total was about $77, and it fed 6 adults with leftovers. The food wasn't too greasy at all, I really enjoyed it. We were told this is our friends "go-to" for Chinese food. It was pretty darn good! We recommend you try it if you don't feel like cooking! read more

We went there for lunch (about 1:30pm) and there wasn't a wait and no other patrons in the restaurant. it was a wonderful experience. Very quick service freshly cooked food delicious Szechuan flavors. I highly recommend this place and we'll definitely be back. Very authentic Szechuan cooking. Atmosphere: there's probably about a dozen tables so a small little restaurant area. They packed up our to-go items. Janice was a great manager/server. Parking: Plenty of parking in the parking read more

This was a nice find in the neighborhood! It is a cozy, unassuming place, but the food and service were incredible. The menu is extensive and they offer many dishes with which I am not too familiar but still looked inviting. I ended up starting with an order of the vegetable spring rolls which came out hot and crispy. My main dish was the Shredded Sweet Garlic Pork with Szechuan Oil which was flavorful and had a nice spicy heat to it. They seem to do a pretty decent take out business as well, as several people came in to pick up orders while I was there. The prices were reasonable and the portions were large enough that I was able to bring back a substantial amount for another meal. If I had to improve one thing, I would say that a slightly larger portion of rice would be appreciated. I definitely will be going back to try some of their other dishes! read more

Pretty new, but already has excellent reviews from several Yelp and Google guides. Good for eating in or quick carryout.

So glad I finally made it! Was sad to see the last place go, but excited about the new menu. Not many places have Szechuan numbing peppers. Szechuan Spicy Chicken delivered the heat, the numbing, the crispy peppers and chicken!!!! I only made it through half, so I had the other half the next day. I had them add another serving of rice togo to mellow it a bit though. The servers were very nice! One lady even talked about one of the recipes they have from her hometown, when I thanked them for serving all these peppers. Its a secret off menu item, so you have to find out yourself what it is...... Its still a little place like the previous restaurant, but it is nicer looking and maybe an extra table or 2. read more

Decided to try the General Tso's Chicken and was worried that it might be too sweet, but it wasn't. The issue I had was that the meal was overly salty. I see that other reviews had spoken of this before as well. The portion size is decent and price was a little more than expected, my bill came out to roughly around $17, maybe it's the new normal with inflation. Staff was friendly. read more

This will definitely be added to our rotation. read more

Great food, great service,the owner, Janis was very nice. Would highly recommend this place for your Chinese food needs!

I called on Sunday to place an order and the older lady who answered didn't understand me so I spoke to another lady that spoke fluent English but to my surprise was not in good mood and supposedly didn't hear me and hung up on me I called once again and no response I tried a second time and my call was ignored so I went in person and the younger lady was there and took my order not friendly at all. I was patiently waiting and she signaled me that my order was ready.. I asked if they had a loyalty card and she gave it to me without any smile or explanation of how it worked toward rewards... I really feel disappointed because I feel we as human beings should be treated with common courtesy .. greet the customer smile even if you have to force yourself we all have bad days but if it wasn't for us customers you would be out of business.. Lady I really didn't like the way you treated me with your attitude and no courtesy to the customer. Good luck with your business and I recommend you take some courses to be able to have the manners and respect for your customers read more

We walk in no music quiet just the stares of the two women with a cold welcome asking if we were doing take out or dinning in, and of course me and my daughter wanted to dine in FIRST MISTAKE. Then the a lady awkwardly took our drink orders and walked away to the back I ask my daughter "do you still want to eat here" and she replied "yeah" SECOND MISTAKE LISTENING TO HER!! The lady comes back with our drinks and walks away and her boss starts what seems like a ARGUMENT KEEP IN MIND IT IS DEAD SILENT. So after that me and my daughter order our food. The food arrives at a reasonable time and WE STARTED EATING THIRD MISTAKE...I start taking bites of the chicken...WHY IS IT SO HARD so I'm like okay it can't be that bad I've had some hard chicken before BUT THEN I LOOK AT THE CHICKEN AND IT WAS GREY I HAVE NEVER HAD GREY CHICKEN BEFORE...so I calmly grabbed the chicken and my turning stomach and went up to the lady to ask for a refund on the chicken and pay for our other mediocre food and she catches an attitude at me like I could go back into the future and tell her the food was bad. I'm sorry we didn't know the chicken would be bad and she was like I'm going to take this out the waitress check!! after that me and my daughter left with oily noodles and a stomachache... read more
