Dumplings and sesame chicken

My favorite dumplings in Houston! The vegetable steamed dumplings are savory, chock full of spinach and out of this world. I like to take some home for leftovers. This place is on our regular rotation for takeout, but nothing beats the dine in freshness so when we are really craving it, we go in! The service is exceptionally friendly and prompt and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the retro vibe and warm Christmas lights.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They use white meat for the sesame chicken, which my family loves. Other favorites include anything on the specials list, the basil chicken, and spicy eggplant. Also you will not find better value for the quality of the food, it is excellent! This place cares about what they serve.

The dumplings are sort of one note. We did the dumpling sampler and they all tasted the same overall. The shrimp toast was nice and the bao buns are good. Service is excellent.

I'm shocked at myself that I've never reviewed a staple Chinese restaurant like Auntie Chang's! I've been coming to this restaurant since my college days, which was nearly a decade ago, and this place has kept me fed to fill my hangry days with happiness. Now, a few things. Just like most other restaurants, they have their "days," where they're off their game or food isn't quite consistently good every single time, but they've had mostly the same staff for years and always provide friendly service! They've survived storms, a pandemic, and probably multiple economic downturns, and they're still serving up some of the best dumplings and sesame chicken here in Houston! The lease can't be cheap because of the location, but their expansive menu offers some great lunch deals and great shumai! Over the years, I've tried quite a few menu items, but I typically only order one thing from here - and that's their sesame chicken! I have yet to find any other Chinese restaurant that batters, fry's and sauces their chicken the way they do here! I highly recommend it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's family-friendly, offers shareable food items, and you can't complain about the view on the 2nd floor![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Honestly, if this place was given some TLC and a facelift, it could easily give you old world Crazy Rich Asian vibes! It's the green carpet for me![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I've been coming to this location for about 27 years since we were teenagers. One of the best Chinese spots in Houston. You cannot beat their lunch specials! Amazing prices, great customer service, an amazing food! Food: my go to here for years has been the general Sol's chicken. It's absolutely amazing. Fried to perfect perfection with an amazing general size chicken sauce. The eggroll and fried rice to come during the lunch special are simply amazing. Also, probably one of the best hot and sour soups in town. I'm a huge fan of this place. Everything is made fresh and I can't wait to keep coming back to try more things off their menu. The customer service is great. They will get you in and out and make sure you have everything you need! The prices are amazing. This has been my go to for years. I can't believe I never reviewed this place but we've had several meals every single year for the past. I don't know 25 or 27 years. Easy five star review

One of my top favorite Chinese restaurants in Houston. Always friendly service. Always great food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cool relaxing environment with nice music and the sounds from their waterfall/pond.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tonight I had hot and sour soup and then mixed vegetables (white sauce). I also love their dumplings and other dishes.

This restaurant is remarkably average. The waiter was great but after ordering three new items - I only only been here once before last night and had others - only two of the three were any good. I ordered sesame noodles, a seafood soup, a

My hubby is at the hospital and dinner was not good so I placed an order off Uber Eats and left 4 star review there but could not give actual feedback back other than thumbs up or down and every single thing was wonderful, and delish however the beef in garlic sauce was a bit spicier than anticipated. I would love to see an option of how spicy I would like it because the only option is spicy or not spicy. I want to say again for the people in the back EVERYTHING WAS AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!!!!! Just a variation of spicy options would make it sooo much better. I mean honestly I would have given 5 star if the spice has a mild, medium or hot option. Thanks for understanding

Been going here for many years and love that they have the dumplings with all of the sauces. They also have an unbeatable sesame chicken on the menu, which is hard to beat. Try the whole fish if you have the opportunity.

Treasure S.

SOOOOO GOOD!!! The dumplings come with the sauce on the side, so they're easy to share because you can put whatever flavor to you're liking. They make everything fresh to order so there will be a slight wait for your food, but not too long. Love it here.

Sesame Chicken, white steamed rice, wonton soup (lunch special combo)

Food was hot, fresh and fast! Service was attentive, fast! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect for a solo meal or with friends very cute on the second level 10/10[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] this was $11

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.

My mom wanted steamed fish with ginger, scallions, and that light sweet soy sauce. Hu's Cooking…read moredelivered! When we ordered, they mentioned it'll take about 20 mins but it came out in 10. 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've done Peking…read moreCuisine for years and shifted to Arco for my duck cravings, but if you're willing to drive out to Humble (pretty much anytime you're in the IAH area), you gotta check out Bamboo House for the best Peking duck. And their other menu items are fire as well! We went on a Sunday late evening. We had a 9 pm airport pickup at IAH so it was a perfect opportunity to grab a spectacular dinner and make the 30+ minute drive out to IAH totally worth it. Parking lot wasn't too full so that wasn't an issue. While the neighborhood ain't River Oaks luxury, it ain't too scary either. We kept it simple - ordered a whole duck and Bamboo House Special Noodle with Beef. This place ain't cheap but the food is worth every penny. It was very busy that evening so it's not a well-kept secret but also proves that eventually, Houstonians will figure out where the good food is. The duck was near perfect. They serve the duck with the pancakes (as opposed to the buns like at Arco) which is my preference. The soup that comes with it was also extremely flavorful. And the house special noodles with beef - oh my. I swear it's just one really long noodle so you may be frustrated trying to divvy up the family style bowl, but the labor is worth it. So good... Can't wait for my next airport run so I can sneak in a lunch or dinner at this place. So many other menu items I want to try!

I had previously visited the now closed Bamboo House on Westheimer and I remember being impressed by the food. I had to make an airport run and decided that it would be perfect timing to stop by this location. I highly recommend ordering the duck ahead of time, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the last ducks when we arrived around 7 pm on a Sunday evening. The waitress was super friendly and upbeat and the restaurant is older but well maintained. You can see where the food is being prepared/cooked and you can see ducks being cooked/warmed behind a glass window. The duck was absolutely spectacular with the perfect seasoned and tender meat accompanied by well rendered crispy skin. I love how the pancakes are paper thin and pair well with the scrumptious duck and other toppings. They also provide sugar and plum sauce as additional toppings which I thought was interesting but not my cup of tea. The duck soup was extremely flavorful and full bodied and went well with the duck. The noodles were also amazing with likely hand pulled noodles served with an abundance of tender beef and vegetables with a little Sichuan kick. I was intrigued by a strawberry chicken dish that I saw on the menu and I plan to try it the time. My diagnosis: hands down the best Peking duck in the greater Houston area!
