    Beef teriyaki
    Joli B.

    We ordered the beef lo mein and vegetables. The food was hot . Good flavor. They give you good portions. We will keep returning.

    Dumplings

    The sweet and Sour sauce for the chicken was like water. The fried dumplings looked horrible and tasted like it! See pics. We ate the steam rice and throwed the rest away.

    Wonton soup
    Stina O.

    It seems like restaurants are very inconsistent these days. My wonton soup was brown instead of clear and doesn't taste the way it usually does, the chicken had barely any sauce, and the fried rice is hard. Luckily the eggrolls were really good. I did order prior to closing but if they can't suit patrons that late they shouldn't accept orders @that time. I'll call when they open tomorrow to see if they'll make it right. 1 star for the eggrolls and 1 star for the price.

    Seafood soup
    Tim W.

    I'll start with the positives. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself is quite quaint in a positive way. My order even came in out in a timely fashion. I'm mostly disappointed in the amount of soup I recieved versus the amount that I paid. For $8+ I didn't expect for my order to come in such a small container. And although the flavor was pretty good I couldn't shake feeling like I was overcharged comparatively. Especially considering there maybe 5 shrimp and a few bits of clam in the entire container.

    Chicken wings for appetizer
    Gerard Y.

    This small Chinese restaurant is tucked away in a small strip mall. The meal comes with a choice between 2 soups and 2 appetizers, and rice. I went with what was recommended on Yelp which is the black pepper chicken and I ordered egg drop soup and cheese puffs with it. Finally a restaurant that advertises No MSG used but has flavor to it. The black pepper chicken was spicy but nothing I couldn't handle and was flavorful. The fried rice wasn't greasy at all but yet still had flavor to it. The chicken wings were hot out of the oven and tasty. If I didn't order the chicken wings as an extra appetizer, my meal would've been under $8! What a deal. Right across this place is a Panda Express. Shame on you if you go to that "Chinese fast food" place over Cafe Asian. The staff here are friendly and attentive.

    stop by here to get a quick and fresh treat, food came out hot and fast, good price.

    Want to start off with something positive. Great customer service. But the food isn't good. Wanted to try this place because of the reviews. The egg rolls are 100% frozen. Don't taste fresh/homemade at all. Plus they are very small. Ordered the kung pao chicken and it was half vegetables(huge mushrooms, squash maybe, celery and peanuts) hardly any chicken. Plus they cut the water chestnuts the same way and size the chicken is cut and you can't really tell the difference. So I'm eating a spoon full of vegetables and water chestnuts. Such a waste of money. It's a good way to scam and save money on chicken. Also ordered fried rice and it wasn't terrible. It was alright. But I'm leaving 2 stars because they rip you off with the amount you pay and the food doesn't taste freshly made.

    General Tso's Chicken
    Jason S.

    Honestly there isn't anything bad I can say about this place. Tried them out a long time ago on a whim and have never regretted it since!! They are the best! Hottest, freshest and most delicious Chinese food in Katy. They have the absolute best pan fried dumplings and their vegetables are so fresh in all their food. Awesome service and they care about the food you get so much. They go above and beyond every time and their delivery is so fresh and fast. I have a son with a peanut allergy and they are so accommodating. Hands down best Chinese order we have found ever! Couldn't imaging living in a place where they don't deliver.

    Two words: Absolutely spectacular! I hadn't eaten in a few days (long story) and I found myself in…read moreKaty on a Friday so I did a quick Yelp search and came upon this place. As I dug deeper, I read Jando's glowing review word-for-word and found myself salivating. Well, I ventured out to S. Mason for lunch, found the place easily, appreciated the ample and free parking, and walked in. I had read before that they used to be closed on Tuesdays and Saturdays, but now they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but open for dinner on Saturdays. (See my photos.) Anyhow, we walked in and found the place homey. Nothing fancy - just a nice, clean, homey Malaysian restaurant. Not too big, and not too small. We placed our order of roti canai, stir fried flat rice noodles, seafood sizzling tofu, and topped it off with a Malaysian milk tea. Oh my - we were satisfied and stuffed as a party of 2. We ended up boxing up almost 40% of the meal. The roti was near perfection - crispy, hot, flaky. The dipping sauce was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of heat. It included chunks of chicken and potato. You must absolutely order this one. I love me some stir fried flat rice noodles so we got that one with chicken. Overall, it was excellent. Portions were a tad smaller than I would like for the price. Also it could use a little bit of hot sauce so we asked for a side of sriracha which they gladly and quickly brought. The sizzling tofu - OMG so good. I can't even explain it. I just love it so much and the portions are huge. I'm not sure what the vegetable flavor would taste like but we tried the seafood one and have no regrets. Lastly the milk tea was just because we felt like splurging and it was also a great decision. The tea flavor itself is deep and the overall drink is very nice. We got it iced. And an honorable mention - we ran into Uncle Chin (at least we assume it was Uncle Chin) and told him his food was amazing. I think he really appreciated it. He seems like a super nice guy and I want his business to do really well. If that wasn't Uncle Chin then we talked to a random person and raved about the food... Many thanks for Jando for the raving review that convinced me to try this place. Loved it and would absolutely come back as soon as possible!

We also ordered a noodle dish that I forgot to take a picture of. One thing to note: I wouldn't recommend using the restroom if you can avoid it. My little one really had to go and it wasn't clean at all or well kept which was a bit of a downside especially with a kid. Overall, we had a great experience and I'm glad we finally tried it.

Service was spot on, quick, and we got our food in what felt like maybe a few minutes. We started off with pork dumplings for the kiddo, which he INHALED in moments. For entrees, we split the orange chicken and the Spicy/Numbing Pot. The orange chicken was spot on. The sauce was sweet but not painfully sweet or thick/clumpy. Really nice orange flavor and tender chicken. So much fun eating it since it is gluten free! Our kiddo also devoured this dish! Mild - not spicy at all! The Spicy Numbing Pot, while a little oily/greasy on the bottom, was still delicious! I appreciated that it wasn't knock your socks off spicy - it had a solid kick, and so flavorful. I love eating dishes with Sichuan Pepper; it has a lot of flavor, and the tingling is so much fun. This dish was perfect with some rice, and it wasn't too heavy for the middle of the day. The prices were really reasonable, and there was enough food for leftovers which we ate later that night. Our only regret is not getting the duck appetizer, but we will be sure to get it next time. We can't wait to go back, and Tiger Noodle will happily be in regular rotation for our family! You can't go wrong!
