    Beef Soup Dumplings Pork & Cabbage Dumpling
    Cayli P.

    Ordered a delivery deal to satisfy a late-night dumpling craving. My food was done quick. Overall, it's a decent spot, though not necessarily "destination" food. The dumpling wrappers for the soup dumplings are thick, which might not be for everyone. However, the pork and cabbage filling was flavorful, crispy, and hit the spot. Solid for a quick fix, but nothing out of the ordinary.

    The dumplings are okay nothing special about it. We ordered the Chicken dumplings and it has good flavor but i think the skin is a little thick and the spicy hot pot dumplings, the flavor is okay but the skin is thick. We also tried the Malaysian sambal fried rice and this is a good one. The flavor is good and a lot of meat. The things that i don't like is the plastic flimsy utensils especially the soup spoon and the restroom is not well maintained, the is no soap. We also tried some of the drinks and they are ok. For me this place is good for take out but not exceptional.

    Braised Beef Noodles, Four-Color Dumpling, Thumb Size Pan Fried Bun (6P)Pork

    Got takeout on a late Friday evening. Service is minimal, you order through a touchscreen kiosk. I wish the kiosk had more pictures or descriptions of the different menu items because it was a bit of a guess on what some things were. Service was quick, approximately 15 minutes between placing my order and receiving my to go bag from the kitchen. They have a side area with sauce and water but we were in a hurry to go so we forgot to grab sauce. Food was okay. The thumb buns were my favorite, juicy with a little crisp and a nice flavor profile with the black sesame seeds on top. They're actually a little bigger than thumb size but every bite was delicious. The braised beef noodles were a good portion but did taste bland. The four-color dumplings were good, had some unique flavors that were different from each other. Unfortunately, had one dumpling, maybe a beef one, that the filling seemed really undercooked. Overall, 3.5/5 for food. Probably not a place I'll go out of my way for but definitely a place to hit up for when the dumpling cravings hit.

    Some hits and misses, mostly just ok. Decent for the area but I wouldn't make it a destination. Hits (note none of these are dumpling related): green beans, Thai basil pork, Malaysian sambal fried rice, walnut shrimp Misses: beef roll, beef soup dumplings Everything else we had was fine but unremarkable. I've had their frozen dumplings before (chicken, 3 treasure) and they were pretty good. Shared parking lot. Every dish is served in a takeout container which can be convenient, but I find super wasteful.

    Delicious dumplings near the med center! Order at a kiosk, take a table number, and your food will be delivered to you. There was ample seating and a sauce station. Overall, the food was delicious with the spicy wanton in chili oil being my favorite, despite not usually being a chili oil fan. Second fav was the soup dumpling! Least favs were the three delicacies dumplings and potstickers, as I thought the dumpling wrapping was too thick for both. We came during their grand opening special, where they gave us back 50% of our subtotal in the form of a gift card to be redeemed next visit! Needless to say, I will return to try more on their huge menu.

    $12.99 lunch special , Sesame Chicken Thumb Size Pan Fried Bun (5P)Pork Spring Roll Qingjiang Cuisine Egg Drop Soup (Hot And Sour Soup)
    Mahwish S.

    I really enjoyed their sesame chicken lunch special. It is a lot of food and good value. The soup was chunky and perfect balance of hot and sour. The sesame chicken wasn't too sweet and tasted yummy. It also came with 5 pork finger dumplings and an egg roll! All of this for lunch special less than $15. They have a lot of different lunch combos to choose from, but FYI, they will not make any changes or accommodations in any of their prefixed lunch deals.

    Thumb size pan fried bun
    Jennifer W.

    I wanted to like this place, but the service received was very unpleasant. I ordered their weekday lunch special, which was advertised as $12.99 on the automated ordering kiosks, but the final charge was $16 + tips. Since the difference was only a few dollars more, I didn't think much of it, but the place is definitely lacking price transparency. Once I grabbed a table number and seated, the food arrived relatively quickly. From where I was seated, I could see that the fried rice was premade and kept warm in a rice cooker. The hot and sour soup came out next and likely was also premade in batch. The beef entree and the fried dumplings took a while longer, so I assume those were made fresh to order. While waiting, I had a bit of time to observe the surroundings. Since I visited in the mid-afternoon, it was relatively empty restaurant with just my table and the staff. I noticed that one of the staff was coughing and seemingly feverish as she slouched her shoulders and walked sluggishly around the restaurant checking on the utensils stand and wiping down other used tables. Later while eating, I overheard the staff tell the floor manager in Chinese that she wasn't feeling well, which confirmed my suspicion. Toward the end of the meal, the floor manager was close enough to my table, so I waved her to my table and recommended that the sick staff wear a mask if she's not feeling well given that's a health hazard to visitors of the restaurant and the many medical professionals who also order takeaways from this location. The floor manager pretended to not know about the other staff member being sick and asked how I knew, to which I responded with the symptoms that I observed earlier. Then she shifted her tone and seemed to acknowledge the feedback given my descriptions, but as I observed for the next 15 min, she did not approach the other staff member at all to confirm nor address the situation. I was very disappointed in the way the situation was handled, and it left me with unease as I finished the remainder of my meal. Once I was done, I stood and asked the floor manager what is the process for handling the table cleanup, since all the food was served in disposable containers but there was no trash bin in my line of sight. The floor manager smiled at me mockingly and said "of course you have to throw everything away and then we can wipe the table when you are gone". I asked where the trash bin was, and all she did was point to the back. Even when she saw me pile up all the containers between my hands, she did nothing to assist nor even verbally offer assistance even though there was no one else waiting on her for anything. I ended up leaving my own belongings at the table to carry all the trash in one attempt. As I approached the back, another staff walked into the restaurant with the emptied trash bins, so I stood to wait until the bins were placed back into the box. While waiting, the large fan next to the trash bin almost blew some of the napkins and wrappers out of my food containers. I walked back to my table to grab my belonging and provided the feedback on the fan placement, and again, the floor manager merely nodded, not offering any apologies for the experience despite witnessing the whole scene. Overall, the food portions were large and the quality was good, but it's not worth it for the unpleasant dining experience, especially if there's nothing to demonstrate that they place the same emphasis on health and safety.

    Went here for lunch 10/3/2025! I placed an order online and it was already ready. The workers were so kind and welcoming, so sweet! They made me feel like they were happy to see me. All of this food was for $11.99!! So cheap!! The food was amazing and I am definitely coming back. The beef fried noodles, beef dumplings, and egg drop soup were so good! I didnt even get to try the egg roll yet because the portion size is huge!!! I also got passionfruit boba and thai green tea and both were good! The restaurant was clean and neat.

    Really happy to have soup dumplings available in the area. The dumplings are just a little too thick but overall very tasty. Beef and broccoli was good and i really loved that they have dispensers to make your own dumpling sauce. Service was fast and easy

    Nichelle R.

    The food was good but it was pretty expensive in my opinion but I never judge off the price. I've honestly have had better with the same price range so that's why my rating is kind of low. As well as, the ordering was a bit weird since they have screens you can order yourself. The people who bring out your food were nice so I'm grateful for that. The overall place is just a normal restaurant not really a theme but it's nice and clean. I wouldn't really come here again but the food was good.

    This place is super cute! You order from a kiosk, choose whether you want to dine in or take your food to go, grab a table number, and they'll bring it right to you when it's ready. Everything comes in to-go boxes, which is perfect -- if you don't finish, you can just take it home. The atmosphere has a lot of potential, and the food was delicious. The fried rice was amazing, and the truffles were surprisingly good. Honestly, everything I tried was solid. It's definitely a spot I can see growing into something even better, but as it is now, it's already worth checking out.

On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.

We came with a group of 18 people, and the bill ended up being around $972. Unfortunately, most of the dishes were more impressive visually than flavor-wise. The colorful green fried rice looked unique, but honestly just tasted like regular fried rice. The green beans were overcooked, so they lost the crunch and sweetness that usually make that dish enjoyable. The green curry was extremely spicy, but outside of the heat, it wasn't very memorable. The shaking beef dish looked amazing presentation-wise, but the sauce was too sweet for a savory dish, and the crispy rice pairing just didn't work well for me. I initially thought the duck dish was Peking duck, but it was actually the Jasmine Tea Smoked Duck. Even so, everyone at my table agreed we still preferred the traditional Peking duck style. The duck itself lacked flavor for us, and the skin was soft instead of having the crisp texture we were hoping for. The only dishes I genuinely enjoyed were the soup dumplings, cucumber salad, and fried dumplings. Most of the other dishes at the table were barely touched. If you're looking for colorful, aesthetically pleasing food and great presentation, you may enjoy this place. But if flavor is your main priority, this spot just wasn't for me personally.

The sweet & sour was perfect lightly battered and crispy. The hot & sour could've been a bit more sour but had a small kick to it. It was perfect for my parents, but my husband and I had to add some chili oil & soy sauce for more flavor. The quality of the food 9/10, the price was a bit on the pricey side for the portions of the dishes. The hot & sour soup was $17! It wasn't anything special about it. I thought it was a bit steep for a family size, but I guess good service made up for it. I'm not sure if they were offering Chinese New Year specials, but within an hour there were several big parties with reservations. I recommend this place for authentic Cantonese Chinese food. It's rare to find good food and good service!

Located inside of the 99 Ranch Market (#1) along Mason, it had so much potential but struggled with foot traffic. As a result, it closed for good several weeks ago. With only a handful of tables, the setup was casual and completely unpretentious. The restaurant transitioned from over-the-counter ordering to a self service kiosk, a practice that has become commonplace amongst many Asian eateries. Prices were reasonable for the area, with plenty of options under $10. The menu featured a number of classics true to Shanghainese cuisine, including their stir fried udon (上海粗炒麵), scallion oil noodles (葱油拌面), min purse wontons (小馄饨), and even braised wheat gluten (烤麩). All of these items delivered in a big way, even their steamed dumplings (水餃) was silky and plump. Unfortunately two Shanghainese staples fell short: soup dumplings / XLB (小籠包) and pan fried buns / SJB (生煎包). The XLB was doughy, unstable, and the broth lacked depth. The SJB suffered from a similar doughy texture, with very little crisp at the bottom. These were not issues initially, but over time the decline in quality became noticeable. There is a part of me that hopes for a revival in a new location. While there is no shortage of soup dumplings in Houston, Shanghainese cuisine remains rare. ___________ (#1) 99 Ranch Market - Katy: https://www.yelp.com/biz/99-ranch-market-katy-2

Don't be fooled by the orange-reddish colored oil though; this one is not spicy at all. 4) Pork kidneys stir-fried w/ cabbage: another one that sounds bizarre, maybe? oh well, the organ meat is thin-sliced and cooked just right so it is soft and crispy, rather than chewy and plastic-ky (as if overcooked). I would recommend this one to the organ-eaters *wink* 5) Egg scramble w/ Clams: eggs not overcooked; clams taste fresh. Just perfect!
