Ordered a salty dish with stale rice that could choke a hungry man and break a tooth or two. Super salty, was in displeasure of the dish I ordered the most expensive bowl. With the steak and fried egg. Couldn't be satisfied with that salt Service fair for the underground Ambiance fair for the underground.

First time at the underground hall and it was overall a fun experience! We had to wait a little bit for our food, but had fun playing some of the arcade games while we waited. Chicken and pork belly were both cooked really well and were flavorful. The food was good, just not amazing. I would go again to try more menu items, like the dumplings or egg rolls. read more

Wokker - BBQ Brisket Egg Rolls (4) and Chicken n Greens Dumplings (6) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Houston, Texas

Asian food with a Texas twist? Sign me up! Wokker is located in the Underground Hall and I was really impressed by their offerings. I tried the brisket pad Thai, brisket egg rolls and the pork belly fried rice. The brisket was super tender and flavorful, egg rolls were crispy and pork belly fried rice was perfect! I wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often. The food hall in general is a great casual spot complete with a bar for some yummy drinks to go with your food. read more

We had a real hankering for something new and different, and stumbled into this food truck turned food court spot. The menu, although small, was enticing and has interesting takes on what would be traditional fast fare. We opted for the Cowboy Katsu, smoked chicken fried rice, and the brussel sprouts to round things out. Everything came out very fresh and cooked to order, packaged in takeout boxes. I'd say these are about average prices for food truck style food, and about the same quantity as well. On the katsu - I'd like for this to have just a bit .. more. Sure the katsu was fried just perfectly with the right amount of crunch, but it sat on a disproportionate bed of plain rice with a sparing amount of sauce that resembled ketchup. For those that like spice, the smoked chicken fried rice is the dish for you. There were no other flavors than a tear inducing sear from capsaicin, and normally, I would be expecting an overwhelming smoke flavor from a smoked chicken dish. I appreciate a good flavorful spicy meal, but there was no balance to this. It was also unclear how this was fried rice as it was just white rice mixed with the crazy spicy pepper seasoning. The winner here was the brussel sprouts though. I had no idea you bonito flakes and raisins would complement this so well, and I would go back for this alone. It does come pretty soaked in grease, which partially makes this so delicious, but definitely something to keep an eye on for the heart conscious. Our choices could have been better, but maybe the brisket would be a more conservative option for next time. read more

We got Wokker to go and were really impressed with the food. We ordered the Pork Belly & Shaken Beef- both with fried rice. We also got the brisket egg rolls. (Sorry no pics, my husband destroyed it). Truly impressed with the egg rolls, they were really good & the brisket was cooked just right. My only complaint was the rice to meat ratio was off. There was a ton of rice, but not a lot of meat bites. The pork belly was also cooked to perfection. Would definitely try it again. read more

yes I loved everything about this place the service was great. I was served by this guy name cisco he was very friendly. And he made the experience of the restaurant even better. Add that to the point that the food was outstanding the menu only does half a job in actually showing you how great and delicious the food is read more

Was in town with some friends and we were hungry and looking to try out a place near where we were. We came midday so business looked a little slow. We all ordered and sat ourselves. The wait time was a little long for the amount of people that were present in the restaurant, which was not many. Our food came out and the quality was sub-par. The pork belly kimchi fried rice had too much fish sauce. The chicken yakitori was too bland. My friend ordered the Texan Pad Thai and it was super bland. There was little to no seasoning and did not taste like pad thai. Maybe it was the day or time we went. But it was definitely not a great quality of food experience. The service was friendly at least. read more

This Wokker location is located downstairs in the Underground Food Hall on Prairie Street. I guess that Wokker's food could be be described as Tex-Asian or perhaps Texas Pan-Asian. They seem to put a Texas twist on Asian dishes. So the Pad Thai is fairly traditional, but served with Texas brisket. The Chicken Katsu is pretty much the traditional Japanese katsu but instead of the traditional Japanese sauce, it has a BBQ sauce flavor to it. I only tell you this so that you are not disappointed by expecting the traditional dishes. I actually like their take on classic Asian foods and their Texas Katsu and Pad Thai are two of my favorite selections. They have a pretty wide menu so you will likely find something that strikes your fancy. Give it a try next time you are downtown. read more

Service staff was so nice and knowledgeable. I ordered chicken rice bowl, which came with a fried egg and kimchi. It was very tasty. They will warn you that the bowl is spicy, but if you have a high spice tolerance like I do, it's at a level 5 out of 10 for me - not very spicy at all. I also ordered the chicken dumplings, and omg that was so good and flavorful! I will definitely be returning! read more

I will be back to try other dishes. read more

This place is not bad...but not necessarily something I can see myself craving later. We got the Cowboy Katsu - the katsu part was great! Sauce had a slight hint of BBQ flavor hence the name of this dish. The bowl was very rice-heavy, and the $1 egg roll add-on was honestly a bit pathetic considering that it didn't even consist of an entire egg roll. Not my favorite dish, but I'm open to trying some of their other dishes the next time I'm at Underground Hall. read more

Wokker was the main reason we came to Underground Hall today. I REALLY wanted those brussels and my teen wanted the brisket fries. We ordered the dumplings, the brussels, and the brisket fries. The only reason this is a 4 instead of a 5 is because the fries were a bit overdone, and there weren't quite enough toppings to get the moisture needed. There was also a bunch of vinaigrette on the brussels, almost too much. The bottom ones were drowning in the dressing. The food was still really good though. I'd definitely recommend folks to stop in and check it out. The coolest find was those pickled raisins that were in the brussels. They were pretty interesting. read more

Enjoyed the food trucks they had around Houston, and their brick and mortar is excellent as well. Nothing like comfort food than braised pork belly and fried rice with an egg on top. Each bite delivers a warm mouth watering delight that brings you closer to home. read more

Too expensive for such mediocre food. The vibe was chaotic and the place was unkempt. I will definitely avoid places that are essentially a food court underground. There are better places to eat in Houston. read more

I don't know about most Yelpers, but I frequently look at my city's front page to see if there are any new places to try. Doing so last night brought me to Wokker in Downtown Houston for lunch today. Wokker is a food truck that transitioned into the brick-and-mortar game. I, however, never ate at the truck. If it's anything like the actual restaurant then I'll be on the hunt for it. 'Enough with the fluff, John! What did you eat and what did you think?' *Does Matthew McConaughey impression* Alright, alright, alright. The pork belly fried rice is a winner. Aside from the obvious that is the pork belly and rice -- both blessed with great flavor -- you also get a fried egg and sprinklings of kim chi. That said, I recommend you mix the whole thing up with your fork for a culinary experience you won't forget. Last but not least, get you some brisket egg rolls. I'm certain one of my female ancestors fainted when I mentioned the words "brisket" and "egg rolls." Sorry not sorry, aunties. Now, about the egg rolls, there's a good amount of brisket packed in. I was expecting to get two the size of a thumb drive, but to my surprise, they served three that are fairly lengthy. And because it was my first time here, Man Dao, the "brain" of the place, served the egg rolls on the house. Man's the man! At the bar is a cool dude named Steve. Be sure to tip him as well. I really hope this place succeeds because I plan to frequent it in the near future. read more

Great bar/market/awesome Asian food. We walked in looking for a place to eat after going to a few bars. It is one of the few bars still carrying stouts. I had the shaken beef and it was more delicious than I thought. The beef was good quality and tasted delicious with the rice and tomatoes. If you check in you get the Cajun hush puppies. I'm waiting to try them and hoping they aren't spicy. In the market section is they sell bottled water and different kinds of beers for sell and kombucha. I just got the hush puppies they are spicy but not undoable. It's a great place to visit while bar hopping or just hanging out. read more

Had lunch then came back for a quick dinner. Located in a food hall, fun and easy going. We had brussel sprouts, katsu and pork belly fried rice. All the dishes were well done with a sunny side up egg. The egg added a nice creaminess and extra protein to the rice dishes. They also managed to make brussel sprouts tasty. Would definitely go back for no frills, tasty quick meal. read more

Wokker, Texas Ranger. I've known Wokker for years. They started out as a food truck and recently opened up a brick and morter location downtown close to Main Street. Since this is downtown we're talking about, parking can be iffy but you'll find street parking eventually. Wokker is part of a cool concept. They share the space with Craft Beer Cellar which is both a bar and a store that sells beer. Which means you can have dinner, drink some brews, and buy some beers for your place. Killing three birds with one stone. Let's get to the food. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you when it's ready. I ordered the brisket curly fries which comes with the aforementioned brisket and curly fries plus cheese, sauce, and scallions. At $9, these loaded fries are enough for a full meal. And a good one at that. The fries are crispy. The sauce and cheese are great. The only complaint I have is that you don't get a lot of brisket. The brisket is cut into cubes so we're talking small pieces. Definitely not what I was expecting. Especially after going to any BBQ joint. Disappointing. They have a lot of interesting items on the menu so I'll be back again. Think of Wokker as a fusion of Asian and BBQ. read more

Awful service. Went during lunch time on a Friday. I was told they were only serving meals on the left side of the menu which only consists of appetizers. Why? Because apparently the person that can cook the actual meals was not there. What kind of excuse is that? read more

We loved the Wokker Texas Ranger food truck first, and we love Wokker, located in Craft Beer Cellar Houston because we always know where it is going to be, and we can enjoy craft beer with our meal! We have tried several different things from Wokker. My personal favorite are the brisket fries. There is just something about them that I have to order them almost every time we're here! On our last visit, we tried all new menu items, the shaken beef, the spicy tamarind wings, and the bonita Brussels. The shaken beer was a solid menu choice. The beef was flavorful, and I loved the onions were done several different ways. The picked onions and egg are such a nice compliment. Even the rice could stand up on its own, and I was sad when this dish was all gone. The tamarind wings were a nice change of pace from regular wings. My husband and I fought over the fifth one! And, the bonita Brussels. Be still my heart. There were some of tastiest Brussels I have ever had, and that's saying a lot from a recovering vegetarian. Whatever you order at Wokker, you can't go wrong! Try the brisket fries, you won't be sorry! read more

I ordered my food online and got a message that the food was ready, when I got there they said they didn't get my order. They had a little attitude, then proceeded to make the food.

I guess the good ratings are for being good late night drunk food? For lunch, the pad Thai was inedible, because the noodles (which weren't proper pad Thai noodles) were underdone (though the brisket part of it was decent); the sauce was way too sweet. With water and tip, $24 for a meal I threw out after skimming the meat. read more

The food is excellent. It looked like small portion but they are very filling. We had the brisket pad Thai and the meat was tender and there were lots of rice noodles. It was really good. We ordered the Brussels Sprouts which were the best and so were the chickin poppin. Overall it's worth the pay!!! read more

Don't come here. Food is pre made and horrible. Price is too high for the quality of food. Very sneaky with pricing. Siracha costs extra here. Water costs extra. Service is horrendous. Run by 2 amateur boys. Not courteous and not fit for running a hospitality business. Ambiance is ok if you're looking drink with your college buddies. Tables are all sticky. If you are not in college, there's no reason for you to be here. If you're young and go to college - there's no reason for you to eat shitty food at high prices. read more

I'll be honest I rarely leave reviews. But the food quality left a very bad taste in my mouth. A few friends and I went for an early dinner over the weekend since we heard good things about the establishment and saw them on TV. The location itself is not well kept, and I get that a food hall is a shared space but it is filthy and you'll be dining with the flies and roaches. The food is criminally under seasoned and overpriced. Everything is an additional charge and they won't give any Sriracha or soy sauce or salt for their under seasoned food (I get it, supply chain and logistics). Our table ordered the Cowboy Chicken Katsu, Smoked Chicken Kimchi Fried Rice, Shaken Beef, and Brisket Pad Thai, which all came out to about $75 after tips and beverages. 1) The Cowboy Katsu was just sad and under seasoned. There wasn't as much as any salt or pepper in the chicken. The chicken tasted burnt like old oil that hasn't been changed. And the BBQ sauce tasted straight from a bottle and was confusing to eat with the mushy white rice. Tasted like something you give to a 5 year old. 1/5 2) Smoked Chicken Fried Rice was okay. The chicken was dry, burnt, and under seasoned again and did not taste fresh at all. The menu said it was spicy but it had virtually no spice at all. You really couldn't taste any of the gochujang that was mentioned in the description so it was grilled chicken. The fried rice had no depth or aromatics and tasted like if you put Sriracha on mushy white rice. The kimchi was okay but it seemed like an afterthought, just thrown onto the bowl still cold. It also had a slightly slimy and acrid taste to it and was not spicy or vibrant at all. The cashier mentioned their other location selling jars of it but honestly you're better off getting jarred kimchi from H-Mart or any place in Koreatown. 2/5 3) The Shaken Beef, which we were pretty sure they'd be able to get right, lacked any sort of seasoning or aromatics at all. The tomatoes were mushy and the sauce had no balance either with no garlic to speak of. The "filet mignon" description was just a buzzword to justify overpriced, tough, bland, chewy pieces of meat over (again) mushy white rice. You are better off getting shaken beef from the myriad of Vietnamese places in Houston. 1/5 4) Brisket Pad Thai was what we were most excited about trying, being we've seen it all over IG. Definitely not worth the hype at all. First off, they use Pho rice noodles instead of the traditional flatter rice noodles, which is very odd and lazy honestly. The brisket was tough and dry and had no smokiness at all and tasted like you baked brisket in an oven for 12 hours. The pad thai was just sad and had no balance with salt or acid. The sauce was way too sweet and all you taste is sugar. There's no fish sauce or garlic to be tasted or seen at all. The bean sprouts were slimy and tasted like they were going bad and that permeated the whole dish. The lime we were given was turning bad also and had no juice at all. The crushed peanuts were burnt but the issue was we asked for it on the side since our friend has a peanut allergy. But when we brought it back, we were met with such poor attitude that we ended up just not bothering. 0/5 TL;DR Don't bother. Overpriced confused "Asian" food that shows they don't care about the food or customer service at all. There are better options in Houston for that price point. Hopefully ownership/management will take this constructively and improve because being around since 2014 does not justify terrible food quality and service. read more

This is kind of a pan-Asian casual food place. Almost everything we've had is really good. The brisket eggrolls are a great treat. Although I'm not a fan of eggplant, the eggplant emoji dish was enjoyable. Our experience is limited to several deliveries, and we haven't dined in or picked up. read more

So glad I tried out this place before everyone else finds out about it, and starts tearing through. That being said--you absolutely should! I have always wanted to try the Wokker TX Ranger food truck. Somehow the times and locations they were available at never seemed to work with my schedule, but now they have a storefront! Wokker is located inside Craft Beer Cellar. They do have signage outside; so you'll know that you're in the right place. As soon as you walk in, they have a little window right up front where you can order. The cashier up front was really friendly, and helped us pick out some preferred menu items (didn't matter though since we pretty much ordered everything). After ordering, we walked around Craft Beer, and were surprised by the great selection. Besides having beers on tap, they also have one section where they sell individual beers. If I was a beer drinker, I could definitely see myself getting one as they have a huge selection to choose from. We then took our seats at the bar which has several big screen TVs, and there is a cabinet of games located on the side. They also have some arts and crafts materials for kids; so I'm sure everyone in the family can find something to be entertained by. We ordered the brisket eggrolls, shaken beef, brisket pad thai, curry wings, and bonito brussel sprouts. You can also get the hush puppies when you check in on Yelp, but they were running low so the cashier offered to give us the brisket fries instead! Super nice of him especially since he knew that was the one other thing I wanted to try. Everything came out hot, fresh and delicious. The brussel sprouts were charred nicely and weren't overly sweet with a glaze. The eggrolls had a great crisp, and while I would have preferred a bit more cheese in them, I appreciate that they were stuffed with brisket. The wings were hot, saucy and had a unique flavor. The brisket fries were fully loaded with cheese and brisket. The pad thai with brisket was fantastic! I love the combination of brisket and noodles. The noodles were very well done and the flavor was perfect. The shaken beef was outstanding, and an absolute MUST! I always love Asian fusion restaurants, but I feel that most places in Houston that think of themselves as "fusion" are actually just restaurants that serve dishes from multiple Asian countries. Wokker is truly fusion, and I can appreciate the thought that goes into making their dishes because they're figuring out the right combination of ingredients to make something unique and innovative. Anyways, if you're reading this, you're already missing out! Hurry and get on over here! read more
