    SH1-Shrimp with Vegetable spicy
    Cheryl G.

    I've yet to find the best Chinese food around Pasadena. It's amazing how Pasadena has had several good Thai , pho, and sushi spots popping up in the past couple of years. I usually choose sushi or Vietnamese because I know Chinese are mediocre around here., I sometimes I just get that Chinese food craving when I'm at the office. Coming from parents that used to have a restaurant makes me even more critical. The food is good for the portion, but the flavor and quality not so much pretty bland. It's been my go to a couple times since it's free delivery near my office when I need something quick and to carb up. It seemed to remind me of a mall fast food place. The portions are huge when you order the lo mein! If only it had a bit more flavor maybe lacking garlic and more green onions. I forgot to take a picture since my husband ordered it Lol. Just picture the huge Togo container boxers filled to the brim! The steamed dumplings appeared like they just threw them in the container all clumped together. I wasn't expecting 10 in presentation but at least have it somewhat neat in the container and spread out a bit more.. The shrimp are good in size and probably the most I've ever had in my shrimp dishes anywhere else. I'll continue my mission for the best Chinese restaurant in Pasadena.

    I usually shy away from places where no one is eating there but not this time. Initially when I came in the owner was friendly quickly seated me and gave me time to decide on my order. I ordered salt and pepper chicken wings and pan fried noodles. The noodles came out first it was hot and looked appetizing but tasted a little different then usual. But it was decent nonetheless. When the chicken came out it was not WINGS it was boneless chicken pieces. I told the owner I ordered Wings which seemed to upset him. His response was "our salt and pepper chicken different. We don't do wings." I accepted that. I quickly went to try a piece and it was semi hot. I tried another piece it was lukewarm and overall did NOT taste fresh. I was not going to complain. I was simply going to box it up, pay the bill, and give it to the homeless. However, when about to pay the owner asked about how the food tasted. I expressed concern about the food not tasting fresh and then Helen being cold. He immediately takes the chicken plate off the table and proceeded to dispute with me the validity of my experience. He claimed "you let sit long time " and went on to say he watched the cooks make the food. I responded to him it's no big deal I will still pay for them but just thought you should know. In a highly elevated tone he says "no I will take off your bill but that's not true" then he spoke in another language pointing and still with an elevated voice to the woman at the register. Bottomline I was happy to pay for the food it was not a big deal. The owner offense to feedback that he asked for and preceded to yell at me the customer as if it was my fault. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE and I will NEVER go there again.

    I ordered food to be delivered. After eating half my order I realized there were bugs in the food! Totally grossed out and threw it out immediately. Yuck

    yellow curry chicken :(

    I had been craving yellow chicken curry for a while and ran across the menu in our office so i figured i would give it a try and order my dept lunch for month end close. I am embarrassed and definitely not impressed and have never seen curry look slimey like this either. In fact i am scared to eat it as the chicken sure feels mushy as well. This is not even spicy. I had to look back at my order to make sure i didn't order something wrong. I work in the area and will never order again.

    Can't wait to eat these rice noodles with pork. Yummy.....

    Still great, a regular lunch stop for me. Close to work, quick, friendly and efficient service, and great food. My favorite is the Chicken Lo Mein for $9.95.

    I had a friend recommended Yo Yo's Chinese Cafe, so I decided to give it a try. When I arrived, and found that Yo Yo's was in a strip mall, I was a little concerned. I started out with a sweet and spicy soup and it was good. Secondly, I had a egg roll and it was very good. The main course consisted of chicken, beef and fried rice. Sorry, there was no name, the waitress made it up and said they would spice it up for me. Everything at Yo Yo's is made to order and is good. While I was there, I noticed that the majority of customers were taking orders to go. I also noticed they deliver. When in LaPorte, give Yo Yo's a try. Go get Full

    Place is kind of dirty. Food is not very tasty. There are better places for chinese food in the area.

    Great experience even as we arrived just 40 min before closing…read more We chose more conventional Chinese dishes, beef with potato over noodles and beef with broccoli over rice. We also tossed in a sampler of steamed dumplings that were excellent. Our beef dishes were fresh and tasty. Service was prompt and patient as consuming the large portions took us right up to closing time. Recommended.

    This restaurant left a lot to be desired. I took a chance while I was in Baytown as I saw they had…read morevarious locations around Houston. As we walked in the hostess/waitress looked at us and kept asking "what?" at least 4 times before she realized we wanted a table for 2. We were seated and we felt like we were inconveniencing the waitress as she seemed to not really want to be there at all. It felt like wanted to take our orders, and leave our table ASAP. Maybe she was having a bad day, but it did not seem like standard service. The "fresh" soup dumplings were so thick and chewy. Normally soup dumplings are supposed to be thin and delicate but these were the complete opposite. The beef noodle soup lacked flavor all around. I ordered it with wide noodles as the server told me they were around half an inch wide, my noodles came out and they were over an inch wide... which is not what I expected. The scallion pancake was the best item I had that night and that says a lot since it was probably frozen/pan fried. The poor service coupled with the food definitely left a bad taste in our mouths. I wouldn't go back or recommend this place to anyone as there are plenty of other soup dumpling restaurants in the Houston are
