    88 Dumpling House opened up recently, and it's nice to have good dumplings on this side of town! To place an order for both dine in and takeout, they have large touch screen menus to place an order. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, pan fried jalapeno pork dumplings, and the Yuxiang eggplant with ground beef and rice. It took almost 30 minutes for the order to be ready but everything came out freshly made. We really liked the texture of the dumpling dough and the eggplant had nice chunks of beef. They do have a small sauce bar area to help yourself to chili oil and black vinegar. This visit I opted for takeout. The tables were full of diners however it being a smaller sized restaurant, it was stuffy and I personally wouldn't opt to dine in. The staff was very helpful. We'll be back!

    Small little shop for dumplings. I really liked the ordering process and I think it's probably the way places will start using more in the future. The way you order is on a touchscreen and you select what you want on the menu. They had a variety of dumpling choices and even noodles/entrees. I think the price is reasonable. I really enjoyed the taste and texture of the dumplings. I got the Four-color Dumpling Platter (chicken Onion And Mushroom Pork And Three Delicacies (shrimp Pork And Chives) Beef And Cabbage) which was $8.99 for 8 pieces and the Spicy Hot Pot Soup Dumpling with 4pcs for $7.99. For the drink I decided to try the Strawberry Matcha Bobo Cloud for $5.99. My favorite was the spicy hot pot soup dumplings it was very flavorful and had a hint of spice, 5 stars on that. The colorful dumplings were aesthically cute and also flavorful but I think that was more of a 4 star, I'm not a big fan of onions. The onion taste isn't strong but I think that's what threw off the flavor for me, it was a tolerable flavor I would've never guessed it was in there. The boba wasn't it. It was okay I'll give it 3 stars. It just tastes like they threw in some strawberry puree in it and I didn't really taste the matcha flavor at all. It tasted more like milk than matcha. The tapioca did have a nice texture at least, not too soft and not hard. It did take quite awhile to get my food. It was about 36 minutes. It was busy but not too crowded. I think it's because there is only like 2 staff members I'm not sure. They do have a really secure cute to go bag for food.

    You won't know if you like a place until you try it. I dont know if I would dine here again unless I'm too lazy to drive into the city. 88 Dumpling House is super crammed seating-wise. Couldn't sit comfy cuz someone would bump into you or brush by you with their purse. Ordered at the kiosk. Didn't realize it would take so long to get food. I think it took over 30 minutes before food came out. Not the restaurant's fault but dining experience wasn't great. Tried to get sauce (self-serve) and I hear a lady behind me clicking her tongue. Like dang can't a girl get her soy sauce/vinegar/chili oil for her dumplings within less than a minute. Black truffle w/ pork XLB came out first. Was super excited for this but it looked DRY and surprise... pretty much no soup in the XLB. Truffle taste was there tho. Chicken pot stickers were the highlight of the meal. Probably had one of the worst spicy pork wonton in chili oil in a while. Wasn't even spicy; more salty... Thumb size pan fried pork bun were average. Save your taste buds for other better soup dumpling places in the Houston area!

    I've been to their other location so I was surprised and happy when I found out that this location is close to my house. They just opened and is currently offering 20% off your bill. We went on a Friday night. The place is smaller than the other location so we decided to just take it to go since there is hardly anyplace to sit. There were a lot of people. You place your order on the kiosk. Their food is as good as the other location. We ordered chicken fried rice, pork and cabbage dumplings, shrimp with pork potstickers (my favorite), thumb-size pan fried pork bun (daughter's favorite), honey walnut shrimp (too much mayo), Thai milk black tea, and taro boba tea (boba was hard). They were very busy with the onslaught of orders so I'll cut them some slack since they just opened. Their takeout bags are cute and reusable.

    I grabbed lunch here and was able to enjoy their lunch specials. I ordered the noodles with beef, chicken, and shrimp. It also comes with three dumplings, roll, & egg drop soup. The dumplings were yummy, the only complaint I have is my noodles had very little protein of the three that were supposed to come with it. The portions were a good size though. Also, I had the Taro boba and it was so yummy. Inside was nice and clean, a little small is all. They also ask for a tip at the end of ordering on the kiosk. I am for tipping but, at receiving a full service- not to-go food.

    Such a hidden gem! The fried pork wontons are crave worthy! The best variety- from heartier chicken, pork, and shrimp dishes to the best dumplings around. So hard to choose! Love the crawfish fried rice, the three delicacies, and the pork soup dumplings! Order family style so you can try everything!

    The food here is absolute delicious and they don't skimp on portion size. My husband and I dined in, but ended up taking two bags of food home because the portions were bigger than expected. More than enough parking. You can dine in, but the place is relatively small. They have cute, insulated, sealable to-go bags though so your food stays fresh to take home. I can see myself ordering to-go on my way home from work. Most of how they operate is on your own. You order on a touch-screen kiosk, get your own sauce at the sauce station, get you own water at the water station, and get your own lids to cover your food in the to-go containers that the food in already served in. The owner still went around and checked up on everyone though since they just opened recently. Nice people :)

    Boba & Chicken Dumplings

    Chicken dumplings were my favorite! The flavor is so nice each time! The Spicy crawfish dumplings are also good, not too much spice, but just the right amount. Their crab rangoons are also very tasty (not sure the exact name of them) I will say the Boba and dumplings container was very cute, however the straw for the boba needs to be longer so you can sip the drink from the middle like intended. A new favorite for my family!

    Thai tea, chicken soup dumplings, sweat and sour chicken with white rice

    Cute little spot for dumplings in Pearland! We visited during lunar new year and loved it can't wait to visit again! A variety of options and great ambiance

    Small store but very clean. Food was delicious and the service was great. Don't need to spend 30 minutes for driving to Bellaire for fresh dumpling.

    Packaging

    Ordered to go place is clean presentation is above my standards omg, portion size is there it's worth the price, the hot and sour soup tho is kinda bland needs more kick, dumplings are excellent I can do without the eggroll, overall I'd go back and try more items thanks for the experience

    Thumb pork fried dumplings (I think lol)

    Everything was SO good! My favorite were the thumb pork dumplings. The service was quick and you order from a kiosk which I liked actually. It's a small establishment but perfect for a quick meal! I think we were in and out within 30 mins. We'll be back :)

    Went for dim sum in the middle of the week, not busy at all! That's a very generous parking lot,…read morebut it gets busy on the weekends. Very well done interior, great for weekend gatherings of small and large groups. Very fast, and attentive service . We got a table immediately and Chrysanthemum Tea was out very soon after we ordered. We got an assortment of dim sum items. Standard but well done! The black fungus salad was refreshing, shiu mai and har gow were well portioned and came out fresh. Chicken feet with spiced appropriately warm and the sauce was the perfect consistency. The fresh mango pudding was adorable and in the shape of little bunnies, a great palate cleanser. Standout dish: my personal favorite is the salted egg yolk lava custard bun, specifically the flaky dough kind. I have been looking all over Houston for one compared to Los Angeles and this is the first place I found that I've done it correctly and they are GIANT. Kudos! For two people, the bill came to be ~$60. It's not cheap, but for an occasional splurge at the quality, worth it.

The wonton noodles were so tough you couldn't cut into them. The pork had no flavor. The chunks of chicken were dry and rubbery. To top it off, I found a long sliver of metal in the food. There was only three other people dining at just after 12 noon, so that should have been a warning. In this places prime, they were packed for lunch. I hate giving bad reviews, but this place has become a red flag.

They offer a variety of Americanized and more authentic Chinese food options, specifically Schezuan style. Walking in, this restaurant is pretty spacious. They're able to accommodate a party of 10 with ease. Service wise, it's pretty quick and the food always comes out piping hot. I recommend ordering family style so you can try a little bit of everything. My top recommendations: Eggplant in garlic sauce, 3 flavor pepper chicken, salt and pepper shrimp, sizzling w/ 3 delicacies, shrimp dry hot pot, stir fried string beans, sizzling black pepper beef, biang biang noodles, and the beef tendon. Regardless of what you order here though, our group has always had a great time here, enjoy!

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

Every bite of everything I ordered was so delicious and fresh. The dough on each and every single steamed dumpling was soft with a pinch of nibble to them combined with a little tingle of sweetness. The meat in each was so soft, moist and seasoned / flavored really well. I always get the beef ones as at least one of my orders when dining or takeout. I generally am not a big pork person, but the pork meat in these purse ones is really tasty and aromatic. The veggie ones were tasty inside with a unique veggie flavor prep to them in a different way than the meat ones, but still a winner. The Chicken With Garlic Sauce is my favorite entree / non-dumpling dish here and also great with beef if you want that protein option. The dish looked somewhat simple, but man it was packed with a sweet, savory, umami flavor profile. The chicken pieces were all tender and juicy. The broccoli, carrots, celery, onions and shallots were all cooked perfectly and tasty stuff. The sauce was an oily type and so addictive. The garlic in it was so well blended and not overpowering either. The service was great, friendly and efficient. Hands down some of the best Chinese food around comes from this little gem and not the fake types that are very bland or so sugary, sour n salty without depth. The steamed beef / pork purse dumplings deserve to be called some of the best in the whole country imo and don't even need any dipping sauces, just bonuses. They even taste exactly the same with perfect taste / texture since my first time having them at 4 years old. I always pick up orders for my parents whenever I come here.
