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.

Not a bad spot for dim sum!…read more We came on a Saturday for lunch and it was pretty busy, but we were seated within 10-15 min. Unfortunately they no longer have the carts, so for dim sum you just order dish by dish. The food itself was not bad! The squid inktruffle har gow, truffle shumai and shu mai quail eggs were definitely interesting and good and nothing something that we've seen before on a dim sum menu. We also tried the crispy fried egg noodles with beef and vegetable but it felt like there was maybe a bit too much salt/msg. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating!

Even when it was busy on Father's Day morning, the staff did a good job of managing the crowd. Inside is a very grandiose and expansive dining room that was busy but not overly loud or uncomfortable. Immediately, the famous dim sum carts are coming your way with a fresh assortment of classics. My personal favorites were the fried taro ball and the shumai which were great, along with the duck. Overall, we were mostly satisfied with everything, and we noticed that staff were very accommodating to large groups and others. Every server we encountered at the carts was very kind and we left very satisfied.

There were a few customers eating before us, however one by one all the tables inside were taken and it got busy. A very good sign. We ordered ha cao, xiu mai, chicken feet, turnip cake, glutinous rice dumpling, steamed rice noodle, tripe, and Chinese broccoli. The food was phenomenal! Everything was cooked to perfection. The service may be slow due to limited staff (mom and pop shop) so give them some grace. We also learned the hard way that the hot tea is self-serve. But this is now our new favorite dimsum place and can't wait to come back. So glad that we don't have to drive all the way to Bellaire to get dimsum.

Some items that weren't great were their curry fish ball noodle soup and satay beef with rice, which were bland. The coffee and milk tea that I ordered tasted only of tea.

Per our friend, their salt and pepper ribs are the best they've had in Houston, and I would agree. It was crispy, flavorful, and the meat was tender. Yum! Definitely the highlight of the meal. The beef cubes with asparagus and mushrooms was good too. Beef was nice and tender and flavor was good. The house special tofu was a surprise box as it literally had everything in it! There was beef slices, chicken chunks , squid, shrimp, charsu, bamboo in addition to deep fried pieces of tofu. I enjoyed the dish, but maybe because there were too many things in it I would probably try something else next time, before you're not sure which protein you're going to get each time.

Service is friendly and the even though this spot is no frills, it is a familiar place with a very family-centered atmosphere. You can not go wrong with old reliable. If you are ever craving authentic, traditional Cantonese cooking without the large, dim sum hybrid model, I definitely recommend this place. Perfect for lunch with coworkers, by yourself, and great for larger dinners with the whole family.

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.

I ordered the soup dumplings and the spicy tonkotsu soup with pork and soba noodles. The noodles appeared to be buckwheat noodles which are typically hard to find at restaurants in the US.

I will order them again next time though because they're hard to find. The spicy tonkotsu soup was very flavorful and the pork was tender. I prefer the soba noodles because they don't get mushy from the soup. Overall the soup was a 4 out of 5. The restaurant was clean and welcoming inside.

After ordering we set in the corner and I noticed the walls were dirty and the floor had a dead roach. It seemed to have been their for a while since it was laying on it's back. All of the utensils were on a tray on the table. I don't know, I mean, I know this isn't a big deal, but I would rather only staff handle utensils. They did have small paper towles on the bottom of the tray. All of the restaurants supplies were in the main dining room. It makes me wonder, since they don't have room in the back, do they have room to do dishes? We even noticed cilantro was being chopped on the freezer in the dining room. The server took about 5-10 minutes to drop our waters off. We even got the topping for the soup before the water. When she came back to give us straws, she rudely threw them on the table. We just got the vibe that they were annoyed that we were there. It was around noon on a weekday and there was only one other customer, so you would think they would be grateful for the support. The food was good. The only criticism I have was the pho could use a bit more flavor. It was kind of watered down in my opinion. My Wife's Vermicelli was good. The price was fair. I just can't strongly recommend this restaurant since the workers seem annoyed, the walls were filthy, and their was a roach on the ground. I feel like this is just negligence and laziness. However, I'll give 3 stars since the food was good and the price is right. Definitely get to go since it's really hot in there.
