    Champagne Chicken
    Vikki H.

    I was in the area and happen to be craving Asian food. This was lunch time on a weekday so I went for one of their lunch specials. I ordered the Champagne Chicken, which comes with soup. The waitress was really friendly and funny. She was like, "despite what the menu says, there's only one soup - Hot & Sour Soup." Lol The soup was good. It has the Hot & Sour Soup flavor that I recognized. Also like that it wasn't gunky in texture. Some places put too much corn starch in it. This place did it right. The main dish was just what I wanted - Chicken & Veggies. The brown sauce that it was in was very tasty. Rice taste like rice but I can tell it's not the best quality rice but it works. The chili paste surprised me. It was really good and had a good amount of heat to it. When I add that to the dish, it gave it another depth of flavor. Looking around, the place looks a little worn down. It could use some love so ambiance wise it's a pretty basic no frill type of place. Reminds me of a lot of authentic, hole in the wall, Asian restaurants in Houston. The complex that it's a part of has several parking spaces. Overall, I got what I came for and it's budget friendly. This place is probably between a 3 and 4 for me. Rounding up.

    Xin Xin had never disappointed before and we always order the same thing. A full order of vegetable egg rolls and spicy noodle soap but today's was an exception. As you can see all of the egg rolls were over cooked and grease but one was fried beyond recognition. I don't understand how the cook could have served this plate to anyone. We could hear and see the cook coughing as she cooked without wearing a face mask protecting her guests from further contamination.

    General Tso's tofu
    Kat C.

    Cozy little restaurant in the same plaza as Tea Rush on 10th. Service is always great and I remember coming here when it was new some years back. Food is still excellent! These two dishes are my favorite. The sauce on the General Tso's could be a little thicker and it's be perfect. Beef Hofun is the bomb.com here. The order was definitely sharing size! The waitress/cashier is a sweet lady, very attentive. Come grab a bite and then for desert try the bakery next door or Tea Rush!

    xin xin has super good food and service and very big good sized portions loved the food

    Xin xin tofu. Basically deep fried tofu with minced pork n shrimps on top. It was delicious

    What took me so long to finally check out this place?!?!?! Maybe it's the colorful sign and decorations outside that reminds me of the Americanized Asian restaurants I have been to and gotten disappointed with. It's a small restaurant that looks a little cluster when you first walk in. Just kinda pick the table you want, don't wait by the counter unless you order take out. I counted 3 servers plus the cashier. They were all very friendly. The waiter came over and asked me how I heard about the restaurant. He got very amused after I told him from Yelp. He was gonna tell me more about his work history with the restaurant, but my food came out, so he politely excused himself. Before I came to the restaurant, I already had a good idea what I wanted, based on the pictures and menu I saw on Yelp. I ordered the Hu Tieu Nam Vang/clear noodle soup with pork and seafood. On the menu, this item states to have pork liver, but I'm pretty sure since most people don't like liver (I'm one of those people), they have changed it to regular sliced pork and minced pork. The flavor is pretty close to the actual Hu Tieu Nam Vang that my mom makes. Not as good of course, but good enough for the valley and the price was reasonable at $7.95. Since it was my first time there, and my eyes are always bigger than my stomach, I also ordered the Xin Xin tofu. It's deep fried tofu top with minced pork and shrimp. The flavor was on point. I just wish it was less liquidy. They have a very extensive menu compares to all other Asian restaurants in the area, except for Hop Tung I believe (but Hop Tung is crap). I will definitely come back here more often to try out other items, especially when they are right next to my favorite boba place, 2 birds 1 stone! :)

    Pork spring rolls
    Claudia H.

    I like the Kung pao...it's okay for me but my husband loves it. I really like the spring rolls though. My daughter ordered the Japanese yaku not really knowing what it was and ended up not eating it because the noodles had a strange texture and the sauce was strange too.

    I was hoping for something better based on the reviews, but this was really nothing special (although I did find the food to be quite EDIBLE unlike some other Asian restaurants in the area). The restaurant is located in a new strip mall next to an Asian market and a tea house (I can't wait to check those out as well). The decor is modern, the ambiance pleasant and the service was okay, but the food was disappointing. Maybe it was what I ordered? The hot and sour soup was bland; too many of the snow peas in my "shrimp with snow peas" were marred with brown spots; I found a lovely, long, black hair in my food and my request for eggroll dipping sauce was met with hoisin sauce (Really? With an Asian market next door that's the best you can come up with? I didn't think it was that unusual of a request). On a positive note, the vegetables and the medium shrimp were cooked to perfection. The highlight was the triangular-shaped eggroll thing. Yummy. My favorite Asian restaurant back in Kansas called these "mandu" but I'm not sure what they call them here. Regardless, it was a welcome sight and a reason for me to return! I look forward to giving this place another shot and trying some other menu items. Hopefully my next visit will be more impressive.

    Pad Thai & hot & sour soup

    My hot & sour soup tasted old & my Pad Thai was nasty with a strong flavor. I brought my mom to eat for Mother's Day & this place was just not it!!!! Going to eat somewhere else because I hardly touched my food

    This is what I almost bit into in my beef and Chinese vegetables dish from this place.

    I called to report a1 inch piece of metal in my beef and Chinese vegetables dish and the owner laughed at me. Avoid!

    I wouldn't even give this place a star. I have to apologize to everyone for not ensuring my review was noted on 5/25/16. When I had lunch there, my pad tai had a sautéed fly in it! Disgusting!!!!!! I even informed the staff there and they just removed the plate. Didn't ask if I wanted anything else, even-though I didn't. I was still charged for my meal. For some reason, I was reviewing my yelp app and came across my unfinished review of this place and noticed someone mentioned a roach in their food. I apologize again for not warning you. If you own a restaurant, be proud and make sure it's clean. Simple.

    Shrimp Lo Mein
    Jaber W.

    Its ok. Nothing special. Basically your typical Chinese food restaurant. The fried egg rolls are good. I had the lo mein shrimp, it was fine I still ate the left overs the next day. My husband had the pad Thai with pork and added curry, extra spicy. It wasn't really spicy (he still had to add sriracha to it) and couldn't really taste the curry. Sister had the chicken Udon Noodles and gave our a 3 out of 5 review on it. Brother got fried rice with shrimp and they loved it, said it had good flavor. I didn't think it was anything special, rice was very sticky. Waiter was nice and place was clean.

    I just stopped by for pho because I have a cold. Now I'm worried of getting food poisoning. The herbs were wilted and not only not fresh but gone bad. The meat tasted old and smelled rancid. I've had plenty of pho (Hop Tung, Saigon, shack in mission), this was bad. I'm not trying to bash them but irresponsible. If they don't fix it , I'm never going again.

    Fried spring rolls. Tasty

    Food was cold. Service was sub par. Pricing was way too high for the quality.

    Overpriced and kind of poor service. The food was OK, but for the price should be much better.

While we were waiting, my mom needed to use the restroom. While she was in the restroom, they called her, but of course she was unable to answer her phone at that moment. When my mom came out of the restroom, she went to ask if our table was ready. The server responded in a very rude tone and said, "Just so you know, after two calls, we give the table to someone else. You couldn't at least pick up the phone?" My mom explained that she had been in the restroom and asked "what was I supposed to do,answer the phone while I was using the restroom?" The server then seated us, but by that point, we were very uncomfortable with the way my mom had been spoken to. We decided to get up and leave because we did not feel that the service or the way the situation was handled was appropriate. We completely understand that restaurants have policies regarding waitlists, but there was no reason for the server to speak to my mom in such a rude and disrespectful manner, especially when she had simply stepped away to use the restroom.
