    It's been years since I've gotten food from Tiger Noodle House (dined in & to-go). Service was good & food was prepped quick for takeout order. I used to love their dry fried Szechuan spicy sliced fish, but it doesn't hit the same anymore. Tasted dry and fish pieces were smaller than I remembered. Dry fried green beans w/ minced pork were good. Read decent reviews about the homemade tofu, however it was mid. Wished it was more savory. Should've ordered the mapo tofu instead. Not sure if i would come back to this place since there's other restaurants with better szechuan food.

    Visited Tiger Noodle House while in Rice Village, Houston. The atmosphere was casual and lively, and the service was friendly and efficient. We ordered five dishes, and honestly, all of them were good. Standouts for me were the Mapo Tofu and the garlic eggplant -- two of my personal favorites, both full of flavor and done right. The Dan Dan noodles were perfectly cooked, and the beef and chicken dishes were impressively tender. Overall, a great spot for locals and absolutely worth a return visit. Saluti

    Great atmosphere and fast service! Fish, green beans, and chicken were good with lots of flavor. Eggplants were somewhat bland despite the marinated pork. Prefer the other.

    Fantastic Veggie Dumplings !!!

    I ordered the Taiwanese Sausage Fried Rice with light oil last night. I love all 4 fried rice options here btw. Tiger Noodle House is the best place for Chinese fried rice in TX, then Cooking Girl and Hu's Cooking right after imo. My entree was not only filling in amount, but noticeably authentic, very delicious, very moist, not too greasy, seasoned very well and very generous with ingredients. The sausage pieces had a subtly sweet n smoky aroma to them making the rice exotic in a way. Great, friendly service again.

    Was surprised by how well priced this place was considering its right in Rice Village - portion sizes were great, service was friendly and fast, and quality of the food was not bad! We shared the pork & shrimp dumplings, green beans, beef stir fried noodles, and Kung Pao chicken. Can't really complain about any of the dishes. Will come back again for sure!

    Wanted to try this spot in Rice Village and finally found the means to. I ordered their version of Szechuan Chicken and Dan Dan Noodles. Their portions were good, I do think they need more spice. The Szechuan flavor wasn't apparent and we had no lingering effect. Flavor was there but if the spice isn't then it's a little offsetting. Overall, 6/10.

    Our party of 4 arrived around 9:30 PM on a Sunday and we were the only ones there. We were seated promptly and when my friends got here, we ordered right away because we were so hungry and did not want to wait any longer. It felt like only 5 minutes later, they started bringing out a few of our dishes and then another 5 minutes later, all 8 of our dishes were out. We were making jokes that they took our telepathically on the way to the restaurant. When they brought the food out, we all said "wow!" In unison because of how fast they were. Food was on point. Noodles were super saucy. My favorite was the sweet and sour fried fish. Fish was super crispy and I didn't expect the fish to be so huge. We definitely ordered with our stomachs that night. Walnut shrimp is always good and they had a side of walnuts with it. Tons of veggies with the mongolian beef and chicken. Everything was delicious and portions were huge. I can't find anything to complain about.

    Sliced Pork With Chili

    I had a craving for some sichuan food nearby without driving to Bellaire and wanted to try Tiger noodle house. There was only 2 of us but we wanted to try everything. First up was the lover's beef app. This dish is served cold and is exactly the cold app we wanted. It is soooo nostalgic and with deep, rich flavors. It's not spicy at all but with delicious yummy chili oil and flavors. For main dishes we got, garlic eggplant, dry fried squid, sliced pork with chili, and mapo tofu. The mapo tofu and eggplant dishes stuck out. The flavors were exactly what we were looking for from these dishes. Eggplant with a thick, garlic, sweet sauce and super delicious. Mapo tofu with a great sichuan peppercorn taste and sooo good. The dry fried squid was not bad but a little underseasoned and the squid was a little chewy, probably would go for a fish instead. The flavor of the sliced pork was absolutely there but the pork itself was a little overcooked and tough to eat. Overall, the flavors were exactly what we were looking for and it definitely delivered. I would try some other dishes next time as well!

    Tiger Noodle House has become one of those places I keep returning to for one simple reason: the food is just that good. The spicy wontons are always a hit -- soft, flavorful, and swimming in that perfect chili oil that wakes up your whole palate. Their spicy slices of poached beef are tender, rich, and full of that deep, authentic Sichuan flavor that's hard to find anywhere else in the Galleria. A lot of other customers say the same thing: the portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the menu feels genuinely authentic rather than Americanized. People even mention that it's surprisingly gluten-free friendly, and the variety of soups, noodles, dumplings, and dry pots makes it easy to find something new every visit. For what you get, it's worth the money. The only thing holding this place back is the service. The staff is polite but not attentive. They'll bring your food quickly, but they rarely check in afterward, ask how things are, or offer refills. It's very much a "drop it and go" style, and if you're someone who likes a more interactive dining experience, you might feel a little overlooked. Still, for me -- and clearly for a lot of other people -- the food outweighs the lack of engagement. In the end, Tiger Noodle House is a spot I come back to for the flavors, not the service. It's consistently good, always satisfying, and worth the stop if you're craving bold, spicy dishes in the Galleria area.

    Spicy Lamb and Cumin
    Andrew K.

    Needed a spot to grab dinner fairly late and this did the trick. We were torn for apps between soup dumplings and wantons, so we got both. Neither was super special. The soup dumplings had a fair amount of soup, were nicely constructed, and didn't fall apart, which I appreciate. The spicy wantons I would have liked to have had a bit more flavor, so they were a bit of a miss. We got Kung-Pow chicken and cumin lamb. First of all, the portions are huge. The chicken was exactly what you'd expect but a skosh better. I usually regret ordering cumin lamb as the texture and flavoring is just meh, but I actually really enjoyed this version of it. The onions and other additions were a really nice balance for the meat. The prices for the dishes we got were super reasonable but some of the other dishes can certainly get up there. Knowing how much food we got with the dishes we did, I would absolutely recommend sticking to something on the cheaper side and making an extra meal of it.

    This place was really really decent!! Prices are INSANELYYYY cheap for the amount of food you get! For me, I thought the portions were huge. This is definitely the type of restaurant you go to with a large group or with a family. My boyfriend and I had their rice and it tasted great! Flavorful and delicious! The chili wontons were also amazing! Sauce was a little overbearing, but still good! We also ordered the mango milk tea with boba, and the milk tea tasted a little watered down with a kinda strong aftertaste. I wasn't a big fan of it, but I didn't have much expectations for it since this isn't a boba store. Service was also great! Servers checked up on us occasionally to make sure we were okay and even gave us guava candy at the end which was so nice of them!

    Taiwanese Beef Noodle
    Eric T.

    The food at Tiger Noodle House was honestly a bit of a disappointment. The service was fast and everyone was very friendly. The restaurant itself is very cozy and a nice place to eat on a cold day. That being said, the food did not live up to the test. Maybe I just received a few unlucky pieces of beef in my noodle soup or they were having an off day. My beef noodle soup came out looking kind of thrown together and the beef was very tough. I am usually a pretty tolerant eater and will power through dry or tough pieces of meat, but I could not chew through the beef at all. Literally my teeth could not make a mark in the chunk of beef shank in the soup. The soup itself was a bit watery and lacked the typical garnish of pickled mustard greens. The wontons were fine--nothing to write home about but certainly no complaints. I would like to give this restaurant the benefit of the doubt and say that they had an off night. Or maybe they had to whip up a bowl of beef noodle soup very quickly to meet demand when beef noodle soup is a braised dish that takes hours to cook properly to ensure tenderness of the beef. Not sure if I will return, but it is a cozy place with friendly service. If I do give this place another chance, I will be avoiding the beef noodle soup.

    Mandisa N.

    I'm a huge fan (it's probably my favorite) of Szechuan cuisine and was super excited to try this place after seeing their menu. They did not come to disappoint. Servings are very generous - had leftovers for days and they tasted even better than when we first got them - and the food is fantastic. Pricing was really good too, so it's a real bang for your buck. Loved it! If I find myself in Houston again, I might just be back!

    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.

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.

Overall, great food and a good experience, but they definitely need more staff if it's consistently this busy.

I think we may have went on an off day because I have tried takeout form this place that was delicious, but on this day the food wasn't my favorite. We did overall enjoyed our experience and time and I would recommend giving this place a try! We ordered a total of 5 dishes and everything seemed very authentic to Sichuan cooking. With Sichuan cuisine though, a lot of the food will be on the oily side, so keep that in mind. - Eggplant In Spicy Sauce (5/5): Definitely order this dish! You can tell the eggplant was prepared well because it retained its beautiful purple color and luscious shape. The flavor was sweet and savory seeped well into the eggplant. My only comment would be that there wasn't a strong garlic flavor, but it was still so tasty I think it deserved that 5/5! - Mapo Tofu (2.5/5): I came here specifically for the mapo tofu but was left a bit disappointed. The flavor was pretty good and had that strong Sichuan pepper spice that lingers after a while. My issue with the tofu was the consistency of the sauce. I found it to be very thick and clumpy in an unpleasant way, almost like eating little gelatin pieces. I would probably come back to try it again just in case this was a bad batch, but it's hard to compete with wanna boa's mapo tofu. - Spicy and Crispy Chicken (4/5): Pretty juicy and crispy chicken with a slight kick. I love anything fried chicken so I did enjoy this dish but it was pretty standard and there wasn't much to write about. - Red Oil Dumplings (3/5): Pretty standard oil dumplings. They weren't really spicy which would be good for people who can't handle spice. I think I would've liked a bit more meat filling but overall not bad. - Dan Dan Noodles (3/5): I loved the texture of the noodles but I found the sauce to be kinda slippery which made it hard adhere to the noodles. I also thought the flavor could've been a bit stronger. Service/Ambiance: the interior of this place was super cute, especially the upstairs area. I loved the dim lighting and tiny table lamps which gave this place a cozy romantic feeling. The outside was also interesting with an all black exterior and no sign. That might make it hard to notice or find the restaurant, but that did give it a more hidden feeling which was nice. Parking was also abundant and service was great!

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!
