Five stars. All around flavors w contemporary art and mad presentation. Dancing dragon& Orange Dragon are must gets. The thing that blew my mind more than the smoked salmon sushi and the yellowtail sashimi had to have been my favorite part. The red mf snapper sushi. 15/10. Ridiculous. Also got the fresh strawberry juice which was really good. Love the sushi here b. Stay up baby we live read more

All of our food was sooo good and atmosphere was very cute. We started off with the fried squid, the sauce makes this! My 3 flavor chicken tasted alot of sweet basil but overall very good. The rest of my co workers ordered the chicken fried steak, the crust and sauce with it was delicious. My lychee green tea was perfectly sweet and freshing, i am very excited to come back and try the kimchi beef with fried eg fries read more

I have not been to Cafe 101 for a long time and this place it is still popping only a Tuesday night. My friend was very hungry so we waited just for a few minutes and they got us and took us to our table. You can see that they removed some tables to keep other tables social distance and the menu is online except the happy hour menu. We order our food and it came out pretty quick. We got the green bean the chick nuggets and miso soup from the happy hour menu. read more

This café is nestled in the corner of a HUGE shopping center and took me a while to find. I came with a friend around 6pm on a Tuesday. The place was empty and we were seated at a table right next to the waiter/waitress area (which I thought was weird because we could have been seated anywhere else, instead of right next to people). The menu is very extensive! Look at it before coming here or you'll be spending quite some time just going through it. My friend and I ordered drinks and wanted the Mojito (under "cocktails"). The waitress took our order then came back 5 minutes later saying they were out of Mojito's. We decided on new drinks and I went with the Desperate Housewife while my friend got the Blue Wave Sake. For food we ordered the Chinese Omelette as an app and I went with the Japanese Curry with Chicken Nuggets, while my friend got the Beef Noodles. A few minutes later our waitress came back again saying they were out of the Chinese Omelette. We weren't able to get half the things we wanted so my experience was already feeling negative. The drinks came out first and looked great! The Desperate Housewife was a tangy/sour drink, while the Blue Wave Sake was a sweet drink. We loved them! My friend's Beef Noodles came out first, then I waited another 10 minutes to get my food. It's really awkward when restaurants don't bring the food out at the same time because then the other person waits to eat until everyone has their food. I'm sure my friend's noodles were cold by the time I got my plate. The food was ok, nothing remarkable about the Japanese Curry with Chicken Nuggets. The service here was great as my water cup was refilled every time it was low (that's about 4 times-- I drink a lot of water!). Overall, the drinks here were great and our waitress was very kind. They didn't have 2 of the items we ordered off the menu so we had to switch our order around. The food was ok, but I won't be coming back for it. I did see they had Happy Hour and different specials for each day of the week, so I may be back for that! read more

Food was generally ok, I had them make me a chicken with vegetables in a white sauce. Now this is where I draw the line in the sand, I'm a rice lover, and although my order was decent, the rice they served SUCKS! Dry and low end rice, surprisingly because it's in Chinatown. Same for my GF and her son. Sorry guys rice is not expensive, get a decent rice and cook it properly, else You can't expect people to keep coming back, too much competition in the area. read more

I used to come here all the time back in the day when it was the place to hang out and one of the few late opening places in bellaire. Nowadays if I stop by it's just for their drinks. The food is mediocre and simple. I haven't had anything here that really stood out to me. The good thing is they have an extensive selection of items on their menu so there is something for everyone. I usually go for the HOUSE SPECIAL MILK TEA, which has whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and sprinkles. It's definitely different, but tasty. Their other drinks are pretty good too and they always present it so nicely and with bold colors too. Service is still the same, not great, but the work is done. The ambiance at night is like a club with the dim lights and the loud music. It's something to check out and dine, but it get tiring after a few visits especially when there's better food in the same plaza. read more

Was here a few nights ago because the misses was craving their hotpot. Hostess at the door was very friendly and seated us right away. I ordered the seafood and she had the potluck hot pot. Our waiteress was very attentive and friendly. I had an issue with my hot pot staying lit she responded with haste and got it burning again. Oh you should defiantly try the jasmine green milk tea it wasn't bad at all. If you're in the Bellaire area stop by and check them out. read more

Not bad. This is like one of those restaurants you will crave randomly. Like, "..hm...cafe 101 sounds like a good choice, I'm craving it" I had the kimchi hot pot. Which I was pretty disappointed with. It felt like shin ramen, and throw in kimchi and random peices of meat and veggies. And charged me over 10$. Calamari was good though. I really enjoyed the calamari. Sauce was sweet and tangy. And the calamari was thick enough. Yum. I also had a few rice dishes and the crispy pork with Japanese curry. Not bad. I could see myself eating it again. Not the best. But, passing the test. Ambiance is nice. Very "young" oriented. Loud music. Changing lights. Young crowd. Cafe 101 overall average. A nice safe bet. read more

I've been here at least four to five times already and it's been okay, this place is good for two things 1. It Opens pretty late 2. Drinks are pretty good. Other than that the food and the service is just subpar. This review goes back to my birthday, we came in as a table of 15. While the food came out pretty fast I'll just say that it was not good at all. I ordered the Kimchi Hotpot and when I received my food I looked at it and was like "this doesn't look appealing at all". It didn't come as a shock when I tasted it, I'll make this short it was a 1/5. I definitely won't order this again and it wasn't worth 11 bucks. Did I finish my food? Nope, I just packed it up took it to my partner's house and fed it to the dog. Now I can say that their drinks are pretty darn good, I got the Japanese Green Tea with Red Bean; one word for it "refreshing". This definitely made up for the subpar service and underwhelming food that I received. The tea by the way was a 4.4/5. Will I return here? I highly doubt it, (that doesn't mean I won't give it another go) the only time I'll come here is if my friends want to dine in. Advice to the restaurant: I think you guys should cut your menu by half, so pick wisely on what items are popular. That way you can focus on making it the best that you can, I've been told having a big menu isn't a good thing (Gordon Ramsey), and your menu is HUGE !! Service: 2.5/5 Food: 1/5 *Drink was amazing though 4.4/5 read more

This review is on customer service and boba tapioca pearl drinks only Decided to visit this establishment in a Saturday night around 11:30pm after the employees from Soho Chicken (where I was having dinner at m) across the street told me that this establishment serves good boba tapioca pearl drinks. It was very difficult to find parking in this lot. Finally found parking and it was a 15 minute limit parking. When to the establishment and saw a line out the door. To save time, decided to call in the order as the line was not moving and I was on a time crunch. I ordered my drinks and they said it would be ready in 10 minutes, which was perfect. After 10 mins I called to make sure the drinks were ready and if I can just head inside to pay for it instead of waiting in line. They said I didn't have to wait in line and I could just come in to pay, but that the drinks aren't ready yet so wait another 10 minutes. I decided to pull out of the parking and made a lap and then parked in the 15 minute parking again. After 10 minutes I called to see if they were ready and they said nope and to wait a few more minutes. As I was about to hang up an employee in the background said it's ready and the employee on the phone told me I can come get them. She gave me my drinks and I paid. Once I got back home, I realized that they gave me the wrong order. I ordered taro boba tea and they gave me another flavor. I was upset but didn't mind and decided to give this mystery flavor a try. I am very upset to say that in the event of being busy and "rushed" with taking orders and making drinks, they neglected the quality of the drink. Not only was the powder not mixed well (because there were huge lumps in the drink) but the tapioca was small and soggy and not chewy at all. I ended up thinking that maybe this was just a bad batch and that it's a good thing I ordered 2 of the same drinks, even though they weren't the right flavor to begin with. The second drinks quality was the same as the first, sadly. I ended up pouring both drinks down the toilet. Waste of time and money. read more

I came here for dinner lastnight. I was impressed with the cleanliness and layout of restaurant. I was mostly impressed by the Bubble tea that they serve. OMG. I ordered the Taro Bubble Frappe, and when I recieved it I couldnt stop drinking it. This place actually blend the actual Sweet Taro potato into the Bubble tea frappe, it is absolutely delicious. I wish Cafe 101 had a Bubble tea shop by my home. I would certainly frequent this place often for the bubble tea. I also ordered the Rainbow sushi roll, this was ok.. I will try some of the other food items next time I come here. But so far, this is the number 1 spot for Bubble tea in Houston, no question. read more

One of our favorite places to go on the weekends in Chinatown because it's opened late until 2am! It's probably our 20th time here and we finally are making a review! The music is always on point, and we love the changing colors of the walls. There's always a fun ambience, and it's a great place to bring your family or friends to have a good time. Plus there's happy hour too! The staff is friendly and the food comes out pretty quick. There's usually a cop or security guard there too at the entrance or eating. The sushi here is flavorful! There's a variety to choose from, and we usually try a different one each time as an appetizer. Their 101 Special Fried rice is delicious too, and we always recommend it. We usually try a different rice dish with meat each time as well, like our favorite beef with green onion! There's also many alcohol drinks and tapiocas and smoothies to choose from! Overall, great food and drinks, fun vibes, and open late with afternoon happy hour! read more

I came in and got a to go order of the seafood udon soup because I had been under the weather. The only thing good was the broth and udon, the fish cakes tasted absolutely rancid and I had to spit it out to not physically gag, the rest of the fish all tasted pretty old and was very strange tasting. I'm very used to eating Asian food so this isn't just my tastebuds. Also got crab ragoons and I would definitely not recommend. Spent $23 and I really wish I would've been able to get a refund. read more

Honestly wasn't too much of a fan jus Bc I felt like it was dry and needed sauce butttt it was relatively cheap for sushi, if you go between 4pm - 10pm you can get two sushi 101 rolls for $10 (5-8 pieces each) it's a steal trust me, Tried out the Kimchi Fried Rice (replaced pork with shrimp) from Cafe 101, and I have to say I was let down. I've had the kimchi fries prior, and I really enjoyed those much more. If I'm ever here again, I'll probably try something else.

Came in here to celebrate my friend birthday, Friday night dinner. I really like Cafe 101 layout. Very modern and unique. Great display on the food. Some food are good and some for are not. Overall pretty good. Trang was our waitress. She was very sweet & nice. We order shaggy roll 4 stars, baked mussel $7.55 5 pieces 5 stars, salt & pepper short ribs $14.99 5 stars (this time it was a small portion, disappointed in the amount was giving), sizzling oyster 14.99 1 stars (this was salty and very unpleasant to eat), sukiyaki hotpot $13.99 2 stars (probably one of the worst hotpot I ever had). Every entree comes with 3 little side dishes (mini vegetable egg roll, green vege/green bean, & bean spouts). Fried tofu 2 stars, Marinated Gyu Tongue 4 stars, & pork egg roll 3 stars. I usually come here for lunch and order the snacks & starters. read more

If I could give it one star I would. The service here is horrible, along with the actual quality of the food, the ambiance is LOUD! So don't plan on wanting to have conversations with someone. Won't be back here ever again. read more

The vibe here is loud dance club music with an elegant dinning experience. We ask for Winnie every time we eat here. She is absolutely the BEST server. She suggested the signature's sake lemon drop Tini and sake Mojito. The sushi rice is cooked to perfection on each roll, very easy to eat. Café 101 roll is a beginner roll little overwhelming with how much they did put on them. Great for beginners not for seasoned connoisseur sushi eaters. The Skydiver roll's mayonnaise topping brings you to heaven. My 3 favorite rolls are Belaire Roll, Flamingo Roll, and the Crazy Irishman Roll. Belaire Love it simple but perfection. Flamingo is light magical and fresh roll. Crazy Irishman Roll made me beg for more A+! read more

This place is always our go to, I'll give it a 5 instead a 4 because we always come here and get the same, chicken nugget and rice with meat sauce on the side. Although last two visit the chicken was bland..... Got the shrimp fried rice extra spicy and it was bomb! A little more greasy than usual. It so good! Kimchi hotpot with beef is mediocre, just got to tofu village. Their specialty drinks are really good. Try Adams dream or first sight! read more

Well the restaurant been around for a bit. And everything is staying the same. The lack of service and mediocre food all the same. Tight parking during the rush time. Pretty much sums it up for this place. What happen guys. First time i went was fantastic. Second time and the next couple of times very disappointed. So much potential yet all went down over lazy cooking and lack of culinary knowledge. Sushi was forgettable. Chicken was flavorless. Food presentation when it came to the chicken lemon was pretty bad. In the end i paid 115$ but in reality for the quality of the food it should have should've been 80$ tops. Food is hardly equivalent to that of a buffet. Please put more effort guys. Our waiter is pretty bad he bring us water automatic without asking if we needed something else to drink. Guess we look poor. But hey it save me from tipping him. well I guess I would not be back even for my midnight cravings. read more

If it was not for my UYE, I wouldn't even know about this place. I heard about Cafe 101 but having a hard time to finding it. I know I know I can see it from driving down Bellaire. But I kept missing the turn. Being here a few times, I do not recommend anyone park right out front. It's an awkward way to exit as too many ways to get in and out of this congested parking lot with inpatient drivers who took shortcuts. Unless you are just stopping by to pick up something or someone. I love the colorful interior. It made the food taste better. Wait, I didn't mean the food tasted bad. It's just not to my liking. I am not a fan of weird shaped rice bowl and plates from the Flintstones era. They are distractions. As many reviewers already warned about "super long menu," I studies it and digested before I could introduce Taiwanese food to my UYE guests. I grabbed a takeout menu and started to slash out the sections to ignore. Don't worry about the drinks (entire back page), unless you are here to drink. The meaty parts are appetizers, rice dishes and noodle dishes. Now, we can concentrate on some of my childhood favorites: minced pork over rice, beef soup noodles, Taiwanese style rice noodles, Singapore rice noodles, Taiwanese pork chop with soup noodles. My recent visit really turned me off. I was craving for 炸豬排麵 Taiwanese pork chop noodle after work. I thought Monday night with a big crowd meant good for them, but bad for customers when they were shorthanded. It took them a long while before the waitress took the order and another 20 minutes for my food to arrive. To kill time, I was drafting a blog. When food arrived, I took a couple of pictures and went back to finishing my blog. The waitress came by and asked me if everything was okay. I thought, "eh? Now you're paying attention to me because I was not eating." The chop was seasoned right. The noodle and soup was perfectly done. But I didn't care for a bowl of dark jello in dark sauce. Upon paying my tab, I noticed they deducted the tips automatically. I put a $20 bill in the holder and got back $9 for a $10.28 bill. For service like that, I didn't bother to tip them more. read more

Like a lot of the other reviews mention, I only drop by cafe 101 whenever there is no where else to eat at. It's open late, and has a reverse happy hour from 10pm to 2am. So for college students who stay out late, it's a decent place to grab an affordable late night snack from. I don't think I would ever come here for a regular lunch or dinner time meal. Cafe 101 is a pretty popular place among the young crowds. Probably because it opens late, serves tapioca and alcohol (beer and sake), and most of all, their servers are all young Asian girls. At least it used to be more popular. Now a days, all the cute Asian girl servers they pride themselves over aren't cute at all anymore, with the exception of one maybe two. Service has really gone downhill, partially because their servers quit all the time, and they have to constantly find and train new servers, hence the "now hiring" sign that they always have on their door. The food they serve have also been slacking, in taste as well as portions, while the price is steadily increasing. The word is that they will be increasing their prices yet again in the near future, which in my opinion would cause a huge drop in their business. They would lose mine for sure! As I mentioned before, I only come here late nights and strictly order appetizers from their happy hour menu. Some of my favorites are the deep fried chicken nuggets, fried tofu, and fried squid. Because I love fried foods :) Occasionally we would order their flavored sake. Their yogurt sake is awesome, and their bottled Hana sake isn't bad either. As far as non-alcoholic drinks go, they have some pretty good cocktails, but I wouldn't recommend the milk tea. If you decide to order any entrees, such as fried rice or noodles, be prepared for an overload of sauce, oil, and grease. Don't say I didn't warn you. read more

*quick tip* Suggestions to order -fried calamari -fried tofu (very delicious with the Kim chi ) -kimchi little hot pot soup -fruit shave ice -chicken nuggets -salt pepper corn (good to nibble) -pearl milk tea -bottle of Hana lychee sake -Kim chi soup -Taiwan sausage I come here for late night bites & casual sake drinking. Happy hour prices isn't too shabby. In the past service was crappy. Looks like they got new staff = better service. I tried the fruit shaved ice...omg so good! It's different from juice box & nu cafe. However it's a lot of ice but not fruit...but it actually balanced out. The only thing that I wasn't fond of was the chocolate swirl vanilla ice cream.. Wasn't feeling it. Hopefully one day I can try everything on their menu. read more

This is probably my 10th visit here and all I can say is each time I return something goes wrong and this place gets worse and worse. During this visit I requested the stir fried noodles that I always get. It is a side dish that usually costs me $3 or $4 so no big deal until I ordered it tonight (12/24/11). The waitress asked me if I wanted beef, pork of something else in there and me trying to curve my diet told her just the noodles nothing else. Well my noodles came out with slices of cabbage in it which I thought was a nice touch until I got my bill. She charged me $8.50 JUST FOR NOODLES?! I asked her why was it $8.50 instead of the usual $3 or $4 that I have been charged the last few times that I have always gotten it and she simply told me that there is no such thing on the menu nor a "button" on the computer to ring it up differently. What?! So the other 9 times I ordered the pan fried noodles and was charged very differently was a fluke? Argh! Green Tea with Tapioca, I always get this here because it is consistently strong the way that I like it but seemed a tad on the sweet side tonight but it was doable. I don't know if I'm getting that much older or the crowd keeps getting younger and younger every time I stop in or maybe I did not really notice and pay attention the other times but I felt that this was not anybody's place if you are over 25. The patrons were pretty well behaved but it was just the awkwardness that I started to feel this time around, maybe it was something in the noodles? Apart from the disappointment from what I was charged pretty much the service was still ok this time. It is usually a hit or miss depending on who you got but she was pretty attentive. 20% tip for you little lady. As far as the other reviewer's request for the manager's name and her doubting that his name is "Justin" I think it pretty much is because I noticed a figure that seemed to fit into the manager category out of all the staff and heard a couple of times his name being said. Why did I not take up my concern with the manager "Justin"? Usually I am adamant about what I feel is right and will not hesitate to speak to whoever I need to speak too if anything arises but for some reason tonight I was just not up to it. Maybe it was something in the noodles again? o O read more

I really forget how much I don't like this place. If anything, I would prefer going to the one on UH campus. A group of friends and I walked in around 10:00pm to grab a bite since we were in the area. We debated in either FuFu, R House or Cafe 101. We obviously settled for a huge mistake. Prior to going to Cafe 101, we stopped by Kung Fu to get our favorite milk teas to go before the place closed for the night. After we had decided on Cafe 101, we didn't realized there was so much rules just to even enjoy a meal here. You're not allowed to bring outside drinks, so you either have to finish the drink or set it aside, meaning they'd take your drink and put it somewhere. I will give them this though, the hostess was nice enough to put our 5 drinks in the fridge. Other rules would be, no split checks of 6 people or more. Luckily there were 5 of us so it didn't really apply. We were happy about that. (but later on, little did we know...) We were seated and looked through the menu for a good 15 minutes since the menu is so massive. After that we ordered or food. The service is incredibly slow for such a slow night, especially for a Monday. We didn't even get our waters until we had to ask and order our meals. When we received our meals, 3 people ordered appetizers (chicken nuggets, squid balls, kimchi fries with beef), someone ordered sushi from the happy hour menu (10pm - 1am), and I ordered kimchi fried rice with pork. Food was nothing too spectacular, even the kimchi wasn't even that great. I think what actually tasted good was the chicken nuggets. It was juicy and crispy at the same time. We all shared and we agreed that food was mediocre. When time came for the check, the waitress noted that it was a $10 minimum for credit card and that took us by surprise. It was terribly executed by the waitress because she didn't bother telling us the beginning. We were pissed because it's kind of another way of saying, they don't want to do split checks regardless. The waitress pointed out that it was printed on the receipt and also at the front near the hostess table. We obviously didn't see it since apparently there's so many rules applied to this restaurant. We ended up having the people with appetizers combine their checks, I paid my own meal and my friend with the sushi paid with hers on a credit card totalling up to $9.20. This place was just ridiculous and I couldn't believe how much rules they have. For a nice modern looking restaurant, don't be surprised with their rules. Don't even bother coming here with 6 or more and of course, be prepared to pay $10 or more, or just bring cash. I'm definitely not coming back. read more

Great place to stop by with a group. The inside is spacious and has a mini bar. They serve a variety of beverages from alcoholic to non alcoholic ones. The drinks are pretty unique with questionable names lol. Me and my friends always seem to find ourselves here when we want a quick bite. It's the kind of place to go to when you're not sure what you want to eat. The menu is expansive, but if you are a vegetarian your options will be limited. I would really recommend the lunch specials here. They are affordable for a good amount of food. If you're looking for a snack the popcorn chicken is delicious! The fries are good too, albeit a tad greasy towards the end. The service is alright. The times I've been here the waiters can sometimes be unattentive, but they get the job done read more

I come to this place at least once a week-max 4x lol Me and my friends come here to unwind, chill, and have drinks. They got great happy hour deals for their appetizers. Their chicken nuggets, cuttlefish, and fried tofu are our usuals. And then, for drinks it is always good to try their Sake Bomb deal. I think it is around $9 for a pair of beer and hot sake. We used to come to Genjis at westheimer but figured it is better to drink here. Ambiance is good. The staffs are great. We always have a good time here read more

Pros: - Their bubble milk tea is the best I've had in Houston (not too milky and not too sweet) - Layout of restaurant is very modern and pleasant - Tables are well spaced out so you feel like you can really have good conversations there (lounge-like place) - Many choices on their menu Cons: - Food and drinks are a little overpriced - Servers seem a little slow and ditzy (most are girls). I had to flag them down for the smallest things (e.g. refill on water) I'd definitely come back here for their bubble milk tea and a chill night with friends. read more

Located in the Dun Huang plaza. One of the few places in Chinatown that's good for a midnight meal. It's a little quiet during the daytime. Ambience is cozy. Although, sometimes the music can be a bit too loud. They don't let you bring outside drinks but will put it in the fridge for you. Food is an okay. I like their honey ribs and oysters meal, comes with rice and a few sides. However, some of the side stuffs were these clear noodles and bits of pork . A little weird to me and didn't taste that good. I also enjoy their fried seafood udon and kim chi udon. Good portion. Try their leeche sake! It's pretty good and also their mango bubble tea. Overall, their waiters are usually friendly. I would not recommend bringing a group to eat as it's gets annoying trying to split the check and they only split the check for two. read more

I used to go here all the time in high school bc it was the cool spot to be at the time. Their food is average, the only exceptional thing I like here is the red wine pork with rice. That is super flavorful. I came for the lunch prices this time since they are definitely worth it. Sushi was two rolls for $8, comes with miso soup and I also got an appetizer: fried tofu. The sauce it came with was good for dipping but had major MSG bc my mouth felt really weird after my meal. The service was just ok, the girls here are known for their school girl outfits (which you can derive your own opinion about them...). The waitress passed me twice while I just stared at her waiting for my check and my table had already been cleaned. My eel avocado roll was soaked in sauce and salty. My salmon roll was good though, plain and simple and decent salmon. read more
