Once you walk in, you just notice how grand everything is. It feels like walking into a luxurious banquet hall and has a very professional vibe. All the staff members are so kind and attentive that good service is not a concern at all. Dimsum is one of my favorite cuisines and this place does not disappoint. Every single one of their items are so good and perfectly cooked. The scale of their menu is also to be commended cause it seems insane for every single food item to be a hit. I love their cheung fun and sticky rice and turnip cakes especially. If you see a cart coming by, just grab everything on it. I'm sure none of it will disappoint.

The interior of this restaurant is really nice, and the service is great. Perfect for a lunch date. Mandatory must haves: any xiao long bao (soup dumpling), nutella xiao long bao, and the pork crispy bottom bao!!! Appetizer: Pork xiao long bao - 10/10 Pork crispy bottom bao - 10/10 Red oil dumplings- 7.5/10 Garlic cucumber - 9/10 Entrees: Fish drizzled with Szechuan sauce - 10/10! I was skeptical about this one but turned out to be one of my favorites Pepper pepper steak cube - i opt out for the peppercorn 10/10 Whiskey shrimp on fire - they set it on fire at your table! the dish itself is really delicious 10/10 Dessert: Nutella xiao long bao - these are delicious but only if you like chocolate bananas! Not sure if they offer a non banana version. 9/10 Overall: 10/10 will be back!!! (Especially to update this photos!)

I walked in and really liked the ambiance - it's dimly lit and the decor fits well with the vibes. I was seated quickly, and decided of course I needed to try the xiao long bao. I thought it was pretty good, maybe even one of the better ones I've tried in a while in Houston. We next tried the green beans and those were addicting. Finally we had the tea duck and that was great, we added some serrano peppers to spice things up a bit. Overall I liked Wanna Bao more than I thought and would definitely return!

Parked in a large lot that shares with others in this large strip mall. Look for the central location between 2 long strip malls attached.

Expected prices to be much lower since it was not the elegant restaurant you would bring a date, but it was still fairly reasonable.

The restaurant is located off 59 feeder and parking can be challenging at times. The restaurant is clean and usually quite busy. The staff is nice and straightforward. The dishes that you must get are the Sichuan style Biang noodle or the regular Biang noodle. The noodles are freshly made and super long and thick. The sauce is so delicious and pairs so well with the perfectly chewy noodles. The amazing fish is also a must order dish. They use flounder that nicely seasoned and coated with a perfect coating that is crispy and so addictingly delectable. Somehow it is so light and crispy and doesn't feel greasy. My diagnosis: come here for scrumptious amazing fish and Biang Biang noodles!

But for me, this was some of the better dim sum I've had recently. Yes, you're in a grocery store lobby, so to speak, and yes, there's not much atmosphere other than the people streaming by going into that grocery store, but the three items I ordered (black bean ribs, har gow, shu mai) were all solid. I'll be back.

There was a time that Joy Dim Sum was a go-to spot for the Sugar Land dim sum scene. What it lacked…read morefrom the larger, traditional banquet hall vibe, it made up for in lack of pretension and lots of focus on the quality of the food and service. Sadly, it seems like those days are long gone as the latter is on a downhill slope. Has ownership changed? (#1) I'm not sure, but so much else has. There's no tea offered, but bottled water. Service and the kitchen staff is a mess where it's most evident during their busiest hours. At one point, Cantonese was spoken but it also seems that's no longer the case. Previously the food was passable, but now it's near abysmal. Siu mai was hearty, but fairly bland. The same applies to their spare ribs (排骨), beef balls (牛肉球), and steamed glutinous rice in leaf (糯米雞). I felt their custard buns (奶黃包), fried stuffed crab claw (釀蟹鉗), fried glutinous dumpling (鹹水角) and the turnip cake (蘿蔔糕) were dried out. While the shrimp dumplings (蝦餃) and rice rolls (腸粉) mostly passed the test, it needed lots of soy sauce + condiments to be worth it. The only winner was their beef chow fun (乾炒牛河), where the beef and ho fun noodles were tender, while also being adequately greasy. The bonus bits of fried egg within were a nice surprise. While the prices range from $3.75-$9.70, a majority of it will average out to be $5-6 a dish. This isn't a terrible deal per se, especially during these times. However, it is a big price to pay for service issues and sub-par quality dim sum. While I'm hopeful that they'll rebound and I hope the Joy returns, but I don't think I will. __________ (#1) FZ / FJ peeps, where ya at?

Don't choose the spaghetti. The duck was fatty but lots of flavor! Pork was tasty and a must with rice as well. Lots of good flavors swirling about.

Don't be fooled by its English name, you will not be eating Shanghainese food here: this is a traditional Cantonese restaurant. In typical Chinese American fashion, we had the "adult" table and of course we sat at the "kids" table. We ordered the classics as pictured. The food is always tasty and consistent. 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.

We had eaten here years ago before the whole shopping center was remodeled. We arrived around 5:00 PM for dinner and were seated quickly. The food came out fairly quickly and was flavorful. It was four of us so we ordered: Hot & Sour Soup, Beef with Bitter Mellon, Beef Flat Rice Noodle (dry), Cantonese Sweet & Sour Pork (with pineapple) I was impressed how silky and tender the beef was. 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!
