    Lamb Karahi
    Vivian H.

    My husband and I just had a late lunch at Wok and Karahi, the place is very clean, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We wanted to try 1 dish of each specialty, so we ordered of course a Lamb Karahi, this is a very special dish, comes in a hot wok like plate, very traditional Pakistani, the flavor, texture and aroma of this dish is so unique, definitely a must, we asked level 2 spice and it was wonderful. We also had the Chana Masala, this is the best Chana I've tried, so garlicky, so good, the chickpeas had the perfect texture as well, again mild on the spiciness, just great. We also had Chicken Szechuan chaomein, great noodles, the Szechuan flavor on this dish was just spot on. I'm so happy we came to try this place, I can confidently say and confirm this is one of the best places to eat in Houston. I can't recommend just one dish, but don't skip the Chana Masala.

    Beef Seekh Kebab (Single)
    Natasha L.

    New halal Chinese/desi spot that a lot of people recommended and was also voted top placed to eat in 2024 by the Muslim community. Just had to try it out! When you walk in, the ambiance isn't that catching. Really basic, little old school set up. Table seating is just for parties of 8 or more. Others would need to sit in the booth. Food: for appetizers we did the crispy beef. It was alright. Extremely crispy to a point there was no beef but just the crunchiness. That would have been ok, if the sauce wasn't off. Extremely sweet. Too sweet. For main courses we got the chicken hakka noodles and beef sheekh kabob and of course naan. Hakka noodles were good! Highly recommend this. Beef sheekh kabob came out hot! Pipping hot! I would have enjoyed it except it tasted just like the crispy beef- it was too tangy! Tasted like the chef dumped a lot of tomato paste and called it a day! What stole the show was the naan. Fresh naan- nice and fluffy! Could eat that and be happy. Customer service was good! Quick and easy. Even though the food did not check all the right boxes, I will still give this place another try because of all the great things we've heard about them. And who knows, the chef may just have had an off day!

    Hot & Sour Soup

    Soup was delicious, the crispy beef was pretty good. Nice location, very clean. But did a pickup order and they forgot my rice.

    Fried Ice Cream

    Best halal Chinese in Houston hands down! Got food in 10 minutes, and good decor. We had their famous crispy beef (never disappoints), sesame chicken, steak fried rice, mango lassi and the fried ice cream

    Chicken Soup
    Amita K.

    We wanted to try Indo Chinese food. It was really awful. Fried rice Tasted like vegetable upma ( all Desi folks will know what I'm talking about). The chilli chicken didn't taste anything like the authentic chilli chicken. I have no idea how this place has 4 stars . If you're looking for a good Indian Chinese place, this place will be disappointing! We tried the chicken egg drop soup and it lacked taste. On the plus side : The place is clean and the people serving are cordial but that hardly makes up for the food.

    Chicken 65, mountain beef, Kung Pao Chicken

    This restaurant is all around awesome. Indian Chinese fusion is absolutely delicious and they are excellent at everything they do. have catered from there multiple times for events and they are so wonderful to deal with and communicative and the food is always been top notch high quality. Especialy love the noodles and beef, kung pao chicken, they're pakoras are out of this world, and the chicken biryani is Delicious. Update: 2024-10 catered from Abbas & family for a large party and it was very popular even with Sugarland people. Beef lo mein, kung Pao chicken, chicken 65, fried rice, Szechuan chicken, egg rolls, and refreshing mojitos. everything was fantastic

    Chicken 65 5/5
    Lauren M.

    Came here for a business lunch! We were given historical context about this place regarding what it was before and how the food missed the mark. But today, complete with new owners/cooks in the kitchen, the meal we had was great and left us wanting to return in the future. Service was a little slow for the drinks, but that's negligible due to the amazing food we had. Chicken 65 5/5 Sweet and spicy and flavorful. The heat was to "medium" and it had a perfect amount of kick to it. It came out steaming on a cast iron pan. Goat karahi 5/5 Simply flavorful and spicy at medium! There was enough meat for the karahi. Goat wasn't too gamey was enough to let you know you were eating good. So the good type of game flavor. The sauce had so much depth to it. Chicken makhani 4/5 Flavor of the masala was amazing. Very sweet and savory, more on the sweet side which I love. But not enough Chicken in this dish. Spicy garlic chicken 3.5/5 This dish wasn't spicy at all and can barely get the garlic flavor. It was good for a indo-chinese dish. Reminded me of gen tso. Garlic Naan 3/5 I thought the Naan was flavorful but seemed too crispy and burnt Kung pao Chicken 5/5 I would crave this dish the most out of what we had altogether. The flavor of lung pao is normally too plain/bland for me in most Chinese spots but this one packed a savory punch. Plenty of chicken and vegetables in this dish. We also received complimentary gulab jamun at the end of our meal. We'll be back for the goat and Kung pao and to try other dishes next time were in the area!

    Mango lassi
    Susan P.

    I've door dashed from here and found it intriguing so when the opportunity arose, I was all in. The is a bright, clean dining room with a very visible owner. Turns out he's also patient as we perused an extensive menu and asked lots of questions. Every meal is cooked to order so be prepared to wait. It is worth it. First up was a complimentary appetizer consisting of chicken pea battered veggies, yum and some spicy chicken chunks. Bring a fire extinguisher as even mild brings out the flames. We ordered the special appetizer tray which comes with a delectable crispy, fiery dumpling and some battered shrimp. For mains we had the Roger Josh beef which featured a rich tomato curry and tender beef. My dining partner ordered butter chicken but was slightly disappointed when she discovered dark meat in it. Management surprised us with a complimentary dessert that was both stunning in plating and taste

    Out of this world taste! We went for a birthday party and had the place reserved for our daughters 2nd birthday. Lovely lovely people and amazing food. They played some good tunes and it was an overall hit. Will come again.

    Sesame chicken

    I ordered sesame chicken, fried rice, saag paneer, and goat biryani. The food was freshly prepared, so we did not mind the wait. The establishment offered good food, a clean environment, and courteous servers.

    The physical menu. Scan the table for a better menu with photos.
    JoAnn M.

    It was a nice experience. We were familiar with chinese cuisine but not Pakistani/Indian. It is better to scan the menu at your table, because that menu has pictures! Spices can be adjusted on every meal 0 to 9. Zero being not spicy, nine being HOT! The food was very good. We had orange chicken, beef and brocolli, and butter chicken. Also, had garlic naan and sesame naan. One thing that was not good was they don't serve rice with any of the dishes! All that sauce and no rice. Main dishes were around $17, you think rice could be included in that price. The service was awesome! Alex was serving us and did a fantastic job. Lunch for 3 of us with tax and tip was $87.

    Menu: Halal Chinese
    Destiny J.

    Ambiance: This may be a longer review because I tried various things. We wanted to try a new location yesterday and decided to give Wok & Karahi a try as it mentioned they are a blend of Indian and Chinese cuisines. We learned they are under new management so the inside is being revamped going with a more achromatic color scheme and adding a buffet as an option for items pictures on the menu with a red background. I will say when you first drive up it is easy to miss as the name on the outside states "Halal Chinese" - this may be an old name before the revamp or not; but it is the correct location. Order: Buffet: the buffet included items like veggie & spring rolls, dumpling soup, 2 versions of the fried rice and noodles, chili & sesame chicken, and Mongolian beef. I took pictures of the items I tasted before going back for larger portions of what I liked. The soup was flavorful and good; but I am not a fan of the thickness within it. Everything else was great, especially the Mongolian beef, beef fried rice & noodle. Those were a 10/10. I loved the veggie roll,especially when it was paired with the sweet chili sauce. Samosa: I order the samosa, which is separate from the buffet. The samosa had this slightly sweet coating while the inside had the slightly spiced flavor. I loved it along with the sauce. Definitely recommend. Lemonade: the lemonade was okay and is separate from the buffet but I was able to have a cola as well. Service: Everyone was nice but there was this one staff member that was very helpful in explaining what each item is, he checked in various times, was very energetic and true to himself, he held great conversations and made great recommendations. He's the reason I tried the buffet Payment: The buffet is priced at 19.99 and the payment was quick and easy. Overall experience: I will say the buffet is small when we're speaking on options but the flavor is great to where you aren't worried about other things. It gives the focus on quality and not quantity. I plan to visit again and try the curry and other items.

    Chicken Tikka
    Maria Aimen J.

    I don't know how their first review is a negative one because I went in with a big party and we all got great customer service add great food. Granted, the waitress was not the best, but the owners were so gracious and nice and visited our table a couple of times to make sure our food was up to a good standard. I really liked that they brought our food out as soon as it was ready, because then we were able to eat very hot food. Nothing bothers me more than going to a restaurant and getting food that just tastes a warm and not actually hot. The honey garlic wings were very good and so were the spring rolls. My favorite things was the chicken tikka and the chicken Popsicles which were essentially the chicken tikka with a lemon and butter sauce on top of them. I really enjoyed the dumplings as well we got them steamed and Pan roasted and I like them Pan roasted best. The mango laasi is delicious as is the gulab jamun. I wish them much success and I'm so happy to have a new halal chinese/pakistani place open! Can't wait to visit again!

They have really good crab ragons, and the portion size for what you order alot! I like the spring rolls, but the one with cabbage in them.

While the service at Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant is friendly the food itself is not fairly average. We ordered the Triple delight and eggrolls to share as we tend to order too much food when trying a new spot -- a major disappointment absolutely no taste, meat, rice bland. if you are looking for authentic flavor profiles, distinct savory sauces, or consistent spice levels, this is just standard, run-of-the-mill takeout quality. It is not decent for a quick, budget-friendly lunch special, but it is certainly not the best in town. Don't let the parking lot fool you as it was full but definitely not patrons of this restaurant.

    The food was very good!…read more I was hesitant at first because some of the menu seemed to be fusion items. In a place like Houston, where you can get authentic Vietnamese food, this can be a luck draw if the fusion pays off. However, when I tried the food, it was a very flavorful and worth every cent I spent. Everything was very tasty. The wings were flavorful and crisp. It had a combination of crispy skin seasoned with a rich sauce. The meat was also moist. For a party of two, it was also very shareable because they gave six pieces -both drums and wings. I will say that you really gotta to get in there get your hands and face dirty though! (They did provide a hand wipe!) For the main dishes, the won tonic soup was very flavorful with sweet-and-sour elements with egg noodles that soaked up all this good flavor. The wontons inside were very standard. And the onion was added to provide some balance. Everything was very hardy and filling. My friend had gotten the vermicelli. Which came with crunchy egg rolls, shredded veggies, noodles, and shrimp topped with a fish sauce. It felt very light and refreshing with a balance of textures and savory elements'. Highly recommend as the number one and two selling dishes - it would just depend on if you're in a soup or dry noodle sort of mood. Service was overall fast and friendly. You have to pay by going to the counter. We had a newer waiter though, and it took him a long time to get our orders correctly and he had to get some help. Hopefully they're doing well, but overall, it's a very cute Homie little establishment. Seating fits around 30 around booths and tables.
