Love this place been coming for a good while,it's small but homey !it is now under new ownership but food still taste great :) They gave us free Thai tea and lemon tea while we waiting for our food! read more

This was my boyfriend's and I first time coming to this restaurant and it did NOT disappoint! We had the most wonderful experience and enjoyed delicious, cooked-to-order food! We had the steamed buns, sweet and sour spare ribs, chicken potstickers, calamari and black pepper beef. The portions are enough to share as well. The restaurant is also running a promotion that includes a free lemon tea with every order and additional free Thai tea with any $30 purchase. Both were extremely tasty! The service was incredible too. The staff is super helpful and friendly with a great attitude! We will definitely be coming back! If you are looking for a restaurant with a family friendly atmosphere and good food, this is without a doubt the place to be! read more

I had never visited this establishment despite driving past it many times. With an ownership change and revamped menu, I'm excited to have found a great authentic Chinese spot in Sugar Land! We used to frequent the nearby Jade Garden for their lunch specials, but the slow service and inconsistent and smaller portions had left us desiring more. Thank goodness this is a great alternative! I visited here for lunch on a weekday to take advantage of their $10 lunch specials after receiving a tip that the food here was actually good! Despite being completely vacant when we arrived, my mom and I ordered a number of dishes both on and off the lunch menu. The waitress/owner offered me some complimentary sweetened lemon iced tea to try, and boy was it tasty without being overly sweet! We ordered four dishes-- all of which was pretty good. The beef flat noodles were my favorite, when some amazing wok hei flavor going on. My mother enjoyed the beef with bitter melon. The beef in both dishes were so nice and tender, obviously velvet prepared to give it that nice soft texture. The salt toasted pork ribs were very tasty and succulent, but I wasn't expecting it to be battered. You can also order a version of it with a slightly sweet sauce which was also nice. The seafood clay pot, which is on the regular menu, contained plenty of fish, squid, and shrimp, plus firm tofu. Could have used a tad more salt, but it was still well prepared. The dishes were nice full sized family sized portions! The meal ended with a complimentary red bean dessert. Nice! Business is still slow, as I don't think they've done much advertising with the new menu and ownership, but I really hope they do well! We need more affordable family style Chinese restaurants in Sugar Land. read more

The food was very good. I got Mongolian beef, chicken dumplings, bao buns, and general tso's chicken and it was all delicious

The food is served family style and is so good! I really like the walnut shrimp, black bean clam and soft egg tofu (basically everything we got). Me and my family go often and they are really good with feedback as well. We thought that the salt and pepper fish was a bit salty before and they remembered the next time that we went to put a little It's a good family restaurant and for pretty reasonable prices and large portions. Recently it's been getting more popular so make sure you plan ahead if you are coming with a large party. The owner is so nice and accommodating and quick with the service. read more

Service was horrible , I don't usually complain but a table of 6 was seated after us and right before we were going to order the table told the waitress something and she said she was going to help us first. Ordered 3 dishes and what do you know the table of six got Their food before us ......wonder why ? Well , ribs & pepper were tough , steam buns mid (nothing special) and the green beans we ordered never came and when we reminded her still other tables got food before ours. Won't be back and no reason to. Guess you have to speak Chinese to get food faster. Smh read more

Overall my family and I enjoyed this place! Very homey, authentic Chinese dishes that pleased the palettes of my parents! My personal favorite was the beef flat rice noodle dish. Super delicious and great charred noodle flavor. They sell specific dishes from where my dad is from, specifically the oyster pancake which was good! We also got sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, honey walnut shrimp and all of them were good overall! They also were attentive with our water cups being filled so service was overall quick and attentive. read more

This place use to sell mostly Chinese style buns, but was taken over or decided to change what they offer. They now sell authentic Chinese family style dishes. I don't think they sell buns at all. My kids approve of this place a lot. Their favorite dish is the Salt & Pepper Fish, which is a dry dish of fried fish with salt and pepper (white pepper and I think jalapeños). We always order some kind of dark green leafy vegetables, which is usually Snow Peas Leaves or Water Spinach. You know it is done right when it is stir fried in a very hot wok. I thought the Tomato and Eggs was not wet enough, but tasted good. This place is definitely a place to go back to. read more

First, I want to start off by saying the food at Bun's House is excellent. My family and I are frequent customers here. On our most recent, we ordered the shrimp rolls, sweet and sour pork ribs, sizzling egg tofu, and a seafood tofu pot. The food, as always, was excellent. Unfortunately, we came on a Friday night and it was obvious that they were pretty seriously short-staffed. While I empathize with it being a family-owned business, the entire restaurant was packed and the two people working the front (a waitress and the owners' son) were clearly overburdened by the amount of tables, takeout orders, etc. all happening simultaneously. It took a very long time for us to get someone to take our order as both people working were preoccupied with trying to turn tables and seat people waiting and helping customers pay their tab. This wait also applied to waiting for our food, which took more than 30 minutes for the first dish to arrive, and an additional 20 minutes for the last dish to arrive. The owners are very nice and are clearly doing their best, but this, unfortunately, has a negative impact on the customer experience. The restaurant itself is a nice, simple, family-owned place. It's well-maintained and very clean. However, the HVAC has maintenance issues. The restaurant was uncomfortably warm on our most recent visit, despite the AC being on full-blast. My husband was overheated to the point where he was dripping with sweat by the end of our meal. It was actually cooler outside than inside by the time we finished eating, and it was still a good 82 degrees outside when we left. Suffice it to stay, I still love Bun's House and will still be going back, but I really hope that they can improve their customer experience. As of today, I cannot, in good faith, recommend new customers go there without tempering their expectations. read more

If you like Jiu Fu Cafe on Bellaire, the owners here are supposedly siblings. The menu is pretty comparable to Jiu Fu Cafe. This place is definitely less crowded though due to being in Sugar Land. As such, service is a bit slower when they're really busy due to being run by only the family. They don't have a lot of servers like Jiu Fu does. The seafood congee is popular here and tastes the same. Their Chiu Chow Sweet Potato Cake is a favorite of our family. Perfectly crisp. Their marinated delights combo is pretty popular too. We see most tables ordering it when we eat there. Definitely don't expect any buns though. It's not the old Bun's house. read more

We ordered on door dash. Spicy slice beef (5/5) Beef noodles (3/5) - taste better when I added the spicy beef slices to it Pork fried bun (4/5) Soup dumplings (3/5) - not enough soups and the flour is too thick Dan Dan noodles (4/5) Meat pancake (4/5) Chili oil dumplings (4/5) Over all, good food and reasonable price. I will definitely order here again! read more

Bun's House 龍記 - Seafood Congee. - Chinese Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

It is located in the same strip shopping center as my family's favorite Chinese restaurant, Jade Garden. My Mom and I decided to check it out for lunch. We ordered fish fillet congee at $8.98. from the main menu and three dishes from the lunch menu. The lunch menu dishes were eggplant in garlic sauce, beef bitter melon, and fish fillet in basil sauce. Each dish was priced at $8.95. Each dish was smaller and cost a dollar more than Jade Garden. The meal tasted fine, but it was too heavy handed with the MSG for my liking. Table service was slow with only one person working in the front of the house. The cook had to come out to help with water refill and busing. My Mom wanted to return to try some other dishes, but not me. I am sticking with Jade Garden for my Chinese food craving. read more

Bun's House 龍記 - Bitter Melon with Beef - Chinese Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

I've been here a few times with my family and like the location because it's close to where I live. It is one of the better Chinese places in the Sugar Land area. We ordered the flat rice noodle with beef and satay sauce and the beef flat rice noodle. We also ordered the general Tso's chicken and a seafood congee with the Chinese fried donuts. The portion sizes could be better though. We saw another table's general tso's which was substantially more than the one they served us. There are also vegetarian options. We ordered a dish with fried egg and butter melon which was a pleasant surprise for me. All in all, it's a good choice for a family meal. Our main qualm is the service. When it came down to the bill, obviously multiple people in our family were fighting for the bill (in true Chinese style). My grandpa tried to pay for it and my aunt told the waitress not to take his payment, which the waitress gave us her verbal agreement and promise. Despite this, she still took his payment the whole time we were telling her not to and disagreeing with her actions. She just smirked and kept continuing what she was doing. We wanted to treat our grandpa for a nice meal since he had just gotten out of the hospital after multiple recent admissions, so it is obvious why we would be frustrated with the whole encounter. We didn't agree with him paying for everyone. This really pissed off my aunt, which was notable to the waitress. She still kept smirking at us and didn't seem to care. Because of this instance, our family will probably never come here again, which is unfortunate because the food is not bad here. read more

My love for Asian food is endless! Love me some noodles and can't seem to get enough of them. Was looking for a place nearby that served noodles and more. Stopped by with the family on a Sunday afternoon and found the place completely empty. We asked the waitress for recommendations to pair with the dishes we wanted. Had the steam dumplings paired with a sauce that was super delicious complimenting the dumplings. . My husband had a taste of soup ordered the hot and sour served in a huge bowl. The soup itself after having one small serving is enough. Once you had hot & sour soup anywhere, pretty much the same here. The general Tso's was good like any other Chinese place, it's also served with white rice. The Tossed Fried Flat Rice Noodle with Beef was recommended by our served as a protein option. The noodles very cooked to perfection and meat seasoned very well. It's a good place to enjoy Chinese food at an affordable price. read more

I normally like chicken cooked in a microwave but this dish of General Tso chicken was a little tough and there was not a knife so we had to try and tear it apart. The coating had sweated off and with that went the flavor, I have been here before but this will be our last visit. Even with the plate cost $12.95 for lunch it was hard to chew both physically and financially. I wish them good luck in the future and happiness. read more

This place was just okay. I ordered the vegetable dumplings and seafood buns. The dumplings were decent--the filling wasn't my favorite but they give you a LOT in an order, so it's great for sharing. The seafood buns were filled with a mostly pork mixture with a few shrimp. Honestly, the filling kind of smelled like canned cat food, which was a turn off, in addition to it being super dense and chewy. The bun dough itself was fine. I would have rather ordered the vegetable buns, but they were sold out of those. I also tried the pork and chive dumplings, and those had a pretty good filling. The scallion pancake was decent but a little too flakey and didn't have enough scallion flavor. I'd eat here again if I was in the area, but I prefer places closer to me by far. read more

The service here is amazing the woman who takes your order & serves you is so nice & attentive. The food is really good, I would recommend trying the salt toasted shrimp with some the rice noodles. They offer lots of options & the environment is nice & calm. read more

Ive been here twice now when my soup dumpling craving gets the best of me. It's actually quite fatt from home but I can count on the freshness no matter when I drop in. It's a very quiet hole in the wall establishment that hasn't been terribly busy these past two times ive gone. That's possibly because it's right next to two other popular restaurants. Definitely a 0 frills place, serve your own rice, water, and tea. If they were open later I'd definitely cure a hangover here. Don't skip out! The portions are generous and the foods really good. So far the soup dumplings are my favorite anywhere, which is why I drive half an hour for them. I'm black and not in any way Chinese, so I cannot comment on authenticity, but I find the foods flavorful in new ways I haven't experienced, and isn't that what trying new foods is about? The staff is also friendly but not over attentive. Perfect for introverts like me. I didn't feel rushed at all. A warning. If you're not HUNGRY don't expect to make a dent in the portions. I'm not a small girl and the soup alone had me struggling to get through half, let alone dumplings. Bring a friend or plan for leftovers. Peace, MEW read more

Good food, poor service. We have had multiple issues ordering (via internet/grubhub/calling them) and its always some issue where the "order didn't come in / although they charged my credit card", or they forget that your order was placed on a phone... If you can bear through the 30 min order time, plus the additional 15 for any mishaps, then I recommend it. However, it might be quicker to drive to Bellaire and back. read more

Ok I noticed that I had reviewed this place before. It was over a year ago. Yesterday a friend had sent me some photos of his visit here and it inspired me to come back. From what I understand it's new ownership and the food is quite different. I did notice that. What I found really outstanding were the Pork Bun scallion choice which gives you 6 generous delectable pork buns for only $6! Needless to say that was my favorite from all that we ordered. I also ordered the Beef Noodle Soup traditional and found it pretty good but not the best I've had. We also ordered the 16 piece order dumpling. Pork with chive and requested them fried and they were outstanding as well! All in all I'd say the experience was very good! I know whenever we get a craving for soup and dumplings we always make the trip to Chinatown but now I may have second thoughts. Especially if I'm just craving dumplings and pork buns. The food really reminds me of my parent's cooking and I think that was the best part of eating here. The people were very friendly and the food came out quickly, fresh hot a delicious! The pricing is quite good and the location right near Welfresh. Plenty of seating. And there is also a free porridge called millet which is kind of bland but warms your tummy. So if you're looking for a traditional mandarin style dumpling meal this place in my opinion is the best in the Sugar Land area with a friendly group working here! Check it out! read more

Service is amazing! Here's why: I really think it's counter service since menus were at counter and someone else ordered at counter, but our order was taken at our table when we sat to look at menu as our first time there. The staff, especially a lady at the counter was very patient and kind telling us to take our time. They have no sriracha sauce when my husband inquired of it, so the lady at the counter asked someone else to buy it at the store and they gave my husband a fresh new bottle out the bag! I wasn't sure about the veggie bun and the lady at counter offered a sample to me, which I declined and now regret lol Now the food: Green onion pancake: decent, but very oily Veggie shredded surface food: different from what I imagined (meaning no noodles I thought), but this was the yummiest dish with noodles I've had in a while at a Chinese restaurant, although very oily as well Steamed veggie dumpling: full amount of veggies, but kind of on the bland side Chicken and scallion dumplings-salty Soup dumplings-my husband and son seemed to love these read more

Very authentic ChaoZhou Chinese cuisine! The marinated delights were incredibly delicious. Service was also very efficient while not compromising on quality. Although they don't actually seem to serve buns and that the English name Buns House seems to be a remnant of the last restaurant's title. Note: at the time of this review, the yelp menu doesn't correctly reflect the actual in restaurant menu (again, it seems the current owner hasn't updated the menu on yelp yet, but googling this store does yield a website that features the correct menu) read more

If you're looking for a good dumpling place or noodles, look no more. This is a great place for some fried dumplings! I went there with a friend for dinner and got a bowl of zha jiang noodles and some dumplings. Little did I know how giant these portions would be!! I could barely finish half my noodles and tried to eat more dumplings but I was so stuffed I couldn't eat another bite! I would give the noodles a 3/5, good but not my favorite because it was a bit too sweet for me, but the dumplings were delicious! The pricing was pretty good too! Each dish was about $6 so overall very affordable. This is a nice little hole in the wall, especially when you're craving carbs! read more

The Best Dumpling Place in Sugarland thus far! I can eat dumplings any day and any where! Not to mention, the menu is in English and there is someone at the front counter who is fluent in English (MAJOR MAJOR PLUS - at Old Place, I can never get anyone who works there to describe something on the menu to me in English). Food: Generous Portions. I ordered the Pan Fried Dumplings (10 pieces), Soup dumplings (12 pieces), and Pan Fried Buns (7 pieces). They were all fresh and flavorful! The meat within the dumplings and the buns were mouth-licking juicy! The broth for the soup dumplings was tasty (a little bit on the saltier side but I certainly drank most of the broth). There is a self serve station if where you can get tea or water (free). You can also make your own sauce to your liking (soy sauce, black vinegar, garlic, chili pepper, etc). They sell other side dishes and drinks as well (limited variety of drinks). Price: Most of their orders are ~$5ish - $6ish. You get alot for what you pay. It's slightly cheaper than Old Place too just in case you're curious. Location: Lots of parking and located a few doors down from Welfresh. Customer service: The front counter folks were courteous. Nothing extraordinary. No table side service. You order and pay at the register. Then you tell them which table you would like to sit at and they'll bring your order to you once it's ready. When you're done, they do bus your bowls and trays. I can't wait to try the other items on their menu! read more

Very reasonable prices for solid Chinese food. (Dear Bun's House employees/owners.... don't read these reviews and decide to up your prices. Your affordable prices are a big draw -- please don't change that!) XLB (xiao long bao / soup dumplings): 3 stars, not bad but not that special either. Pan-fried pork dumplings: 5 stars, mmm these hit the spot. Hand-pulled noodles: 5 stars, fresh and chewy -- I recommend asking for the hand-pulled noodles rather than regular noodles. Spicy beef broth (can be ordered with noodles or with dumplings): 5 stars, more flavorful than their standard beef broth. Not super spicy but it's a little bit more than mild spice. Regular (non-spicy) beef broth: 3 stars, not bad but not great. Pork scallion steamed buns: 3 stars. Not bad but I'd rather eat their other offerings "Shredded surface": 4 stars. What on earth is "shredded surface"?!?! -- a weird name to put on the menu, but it's basically a stir-fry made with the hand-pulled noodles and some small amounts of veggies and meat. A bit greasy, but overall I enjoyed this. The hand-pulled noodles are where it's at!!! Black sauce noodle (za jiang mien): 2 stars. TOO SALTY! read more

It's been a while since I've had good buns, dumplings or noodles. My Houston-native friend took me to Bun's House for lunch, claiming to have some nicely priced noodles and dumplings. We ordered what seemed to be a feast for 4 at the register, and the lady at the register only slightly judged us. All the prices are very reasonable. We ordered: Zha Jiang Noodle - tasty! It's not the classic zha jiang noodle I'm used to, but the more Chinese spin on the Chinese-Korean noodle dish was satisfying. More veggies than I'm used to. But I needed every veggie I could get in that meal. Pork Bao - I wasn't sure what to expect from the pork bao - I'm always scared by pricey and inauthentic takes that just don't work. The pork bao here is one of the cheaper ones I've seen in the US, with some mostly authentic toppings. The meat was tender and the peanut powder sprinkled on top was sweet. Pork and Chives Dumplings - I love chive dumplings. The steamed dumplings here are on point. Pork and Scallion Potstickers - I've never really eaten scallion potstickers before. However, they are very similar to chives and lack that stinky aroma that I love but could do without when I've got leftovers. Pan Fried Pork and Scallion Buns - I love pan fried buns - I don't know why it's not more popular. They were fried hot and slightly soupy on the inside - a solid bun from Bun House! Yeah... way too much food for two people. But everything I tried was delicious and affordable. My friend did not recommend the soup dumplings here, although I cannot speak from experience how they taste. I appreciated the sauce that you can mix yourself, such as vinegar, chili oil and soy sauce and other condiments you can adjust to personal preference. Overall, Bun's House is a solid dumpling and noodle house. If I'm ever back in Sugarland (which I'm sure I will), I will have to give the beef noodle soup a try! read more

I had decided to try this place again after I was craving some dumplings and was in the area. The bao and the pork dumplings were good. However, the reason I am only giving 3 stars is because the service was so disappointing. I had ordered online which I do like that function a lot as it eliminates confusion. Shortly after I placed the order I got a call saying one of my items would not be ready for another 45 minutes. That's fine, I did not mind waiting and I'm glad they called and notified me. However, when it came time to go pick up the food the employee there told us our order was never placed and that it would take another 25 minutes. On the way back home after being told that I got ANOTHER call saying that the order was placed and that the food had been ready....This was EXTREMELY frustrating. The process that should have taken only 20-30 minutes ended up taking me over an hour. Overall the food was very good but the ordering process and service was not good. I would be back for the food but I will give it plenty of time and not wait until I'm hungry. read more

SUMMARY: Delicious hand-pulled noodles for a great price. **They only take cash, so don't forget to bring some!** FOOD: I'm constantly on the lookout for hand-pulled noodles around the Houston area. The only places I've found them in Chinatown weren't quite to my standards, as the actual dish itself often tasted subpar/lacked flavor. However, I've found Bun's House to be better than other places I've tried so far! I got the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and asked for it with hand-pulled noodles. I expected the broth to be slightly more flavorful/rich, but it was still delicious nonetheless and I definitely wasn't disappointed. Seeing as I had to specifically ask for it, I think you can ask for hand-pulled noodles with nearly every entree, so I'll probably be coming back again to try another dish to see if it's more flavorful and the soup dumplings. PRICE: The price points here are great! Other hand-pulled noodle places tend to be at a slightly higher price point; however, the prices here are on-par with the usual places you'd find in Chinatown (but is located in Sugar land obv). That being said, make sure to bring extra cash to tip! :-) SERVICE: The food came out relatively quick, especially for the noodles being fresh and hand-pulled. The service is straightforward, and you serve yourself your own water/soups/porridges at a station on the side. read more

Bun's House 龍記 - Spicy Beef Noodle Soup with Hand-Pulled noodles! A hearty meal for $6.77. - Chinese Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

Perfect neighborhood noodle and dumpling shop. The xiaolongbao were delicious, cold cucumber dish was plentiful and had a nice sesame flavor. I liked the pork cabbage dumplings. The only thing I wasn't thrilled with was the beef noodle soup. While there is lots of meat and it's not too fatty, the soup itself lacks flavor. But my son loves all the noodles. The cashier was very friendly and helpful. We will be back to try more! read more

Cheap lunch option that guarantees to fill your belly! Most items are under $6-7 and include free congee and water at the self help area. I heard the noodle soups were the best so my party and I shared orders of the spicy beef noodle soup (hongshao niu rou mian), cold Sichuan noodles (neng mian), black bean sauce (zhajiangmian) noodles, pork and chive pan fried dumplings, scallion pancakes and beef pancakes. The best out of the above mentioned clearly was the spicy beef noodle soup which had a rich broth, tender chunks of beef, and tasty noodles. The second runner up was the dumplings...fairly thick skin and juicy meat interior. The beef pancakes had a thin slice of beef and lettuce within, but not bursting with flavor. The scallion pancakes fell short of scallions and a crisp factor, but still acceptable in my book. The Sichuan cold noodles were not Mala spicy like I expected and was quite plain. Lastly, the black bean sauce noodles were also a bit underwhelming as it resembled the cold noodles but with meat and a salty sauce. Overall a good spot for quick and cheap eats when in the area...but the noodle soup may be to go-to item along with dumplings! read more
