Looking for quality Chinese food? Spicy Banda is probably the best Chinese food I've had on this…read moreside of Pearland! 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!

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.

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.

We ordered the boiled sliced fish in hot sauce (a staple we always get at Szechuan restaurants) and the sizzling with three delicacies (shrimp and fish). The sauce on seafood meal was sooo good! I'm not sure if it's oyster sauce or bean sauce but it's amazing. I just poured the sauce on the white rice and literally ate it like that too. It was a bit cold inside the restaurant so we ordered some hot green tea to warm us up too. Over all great price for a delicious lunch.

Szechuan Spice is a solid go-to for quick, flavorful Chinese food in the Houston/Pearland area…read more Customer service stood out right away the host was very welcoming, patient, and took the time to answer all of our questions. Since we ordered takeout, they even offered us a place to sit while we waited, which I appreciated. Here's what we ordered: * House Lo Mein - $14.99 * Stir-Fry Flat Noodles w/ Beef - $13.99 * Sweet & Sour Pork - $15.99 * Crab Cheese Puffs - $5.59 Total came out to about $54.74, which is pretty reasonable for the portion sizes and variety. The food overall was flavorful and fresh. The noodles were cooked well and had a nice balance of sauce without being too heavy. The sweet & sour pork had that classic crispy texture with a bold sauce. The crab cheese puffs were decent crispy on the outside and creamy inside but I do wish they had a little more crab flavor to really elevate them. One small detail I loved: the to-go bags. They were sturdy, well-designed, and matched the restaurant's aesthetic definitely gives that extra polished touch. Overall: Great service, solid food, and good value. Perfect for a casual takeout spot when you want something quick but still quality.

I was literally the second person in line, and also ordered the soft shell crab and peppered tuna baos. It was just as I remembered. Quality small bites.

The restaurant is a few communal tables, mixed with some small tables for 2-4 people. I'll be back.

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.
