still one of the best places in ce king! shrimp fried rice & cheeseburger baskets will be a forever favorite

Big portions of food that varies from fried rice to French fries to sesame chicken and the like. Small hole in the wall type place that's not so easy to find, but has good food and is open late. It helps also that my mom knows the owners. read more

General chicken was pretty damn good. never misses. i like it extra spicy though. Triple delight was a lil more pricey but its a good combo Triple Delight General Chicken read more

Economic value, not a place to eat, more of a place to pick up and go... fast services

Food is really good. I am not saying it's the best but dang good especially considering the wide range offered and small hole in the wall location. I think they could easily expand their business successfully with a good website and delivery. Recently had to raise prices a little bit, but who can blame them with the cost increase of everything in the last 1 1/2 years. Still worth it. I am attaching the menu so you can see what is offered. No prices on it, since they have not updated since costs went up. read more

This place is the definition of a hidden gem! I discovered this place on google and decided to give it a try. When I go there my first impression was it looked like any other Chinese restaurant nothing out of the ordinary. I was greeted by a VERY handsome young man and he told me he was the son of the owner. His name was Justin and he was very helpful since I didn't know what to order. I end up ordering the General Chicken with fried rice. Since I was the only customer there after he took my order he went to the back and help the cooks. After a few minutes he came back with my food and I sat down for my first bite. HOLY SHIT! The first bite of the chicken literally exploded in my mouth and turned my world upside down! It was smothered with the correct amount of sauce. I swear it had the best ratio of sweetness and saltiness. The crust of the is perfectly crispy every bite you take and yet the chicken inside is so moist! The fried rice is so well seasoned, not too wet or too dry. Every bite I take I feel as the rice is kissing my tongue. Eat here made me feel as if I were in a world where there is no hate or racism. This place deserve a Michelin star! Don't let the exterior fool you.. This place is truly one of Houston hidden gem! THANK YOU JUSTIN! read more

The food is really good I go there every once in a while and they won't ever disappoint .

The general chicken was mid and the fried rice was terrible plus the cheese puffs were stale never going back again!

Great place to get quality food. It does have a hole in the wall feel but I think it adds to their overall appeal. The sweet and spicy general chicken is awesome, it literally never disappoints. Triple delight, beef lomein (ask to make it spicy), mandarin chicken, shrimp rolls, wings, and cheese puffs are my go to. Their seafood section is pretty good too--especially the fried butterfly shrimp--make sure you try their homemade cocktail sauce! read more

This place is actually so good ! Parking is usually a little congested because there's a washeteria right next door and other things there's always 1 panhandler sitting on the ground but they're not aggressive. When I went to this place I thought the food wasn't gonna be fresh I honestly thought I was gonna taste dog or rip my chicken open to some mystery meat because the place is a hole in the wall mom & pop shop but it was Soo fresh !!! It's literally cooked when you order it I tried the orange chicken , general tso's , and the sesame chicken lunch special portion and it was so hot fresh and yummy !!! Customer service is a little blah but I would go if you want good fresh cooked to order Americanized Chinese food read more

Place is good like better then what I would get in the mall a lot of people be sleep on them being going here since 2018 when I was working at family dollar next door and the guy that always rings me up he so Handsome and charming always welcoming I see him every time I go there and Frenchie's I be wanting to ask are you single bad did he ever finish college what he was going for read more

Quick, friendly service and great food from burgers to fish to Chinese. Great prices too.

I have been going to this restaurant for years now and I can confidently say that it is my absolute favorite in Houston. It has such a homey feeling that brings a level of comfort that is indescribable. It is a family business and the kids that work there have been there since their childhood and it is a beautiful thing to watch them grow up and start working there. The food is absolutely mouthwatering and never fails to amaze me. Everything I have ever bought from this establishment has been nothing short of perfect and I encourage everyone to come here!! read more

Trout is too fishy and she forgot to include tartar sauce in my to-go bag. Combination fried rice was ok. Seasoned fries were good. Also, they told me my order would be ready in 15-20 mins but it took like 30 and I missed most of the Dynamo games second half. read more

This was the first time I have been here and my experience was much better than I had expected. The food was hot, fresh, and descent quality. I ordered the "General chicken and some cheese puffs." read more

Great restaurant at a cheap price. I love their space Orange chicken. They are very polite as well. Overall, a good place to get food from and not break your wallet. read more

I think everyone must be reviewing this place on the price or the amount of food. Or they just don't know what good chinese food is. Because it is not the best quality ingredients or tasting chinese food. I ordered sesame chicken and fried rice. There was a lot of food and it was hot, but the chicken was tough and the flavor was kind of bland for both the chicken and the rice. It was definitely not a 4.5 star place. read more

Food was Amazing 10/10 would recommend but there was this really annoying kid at the cashier always going around asking people to arm wrestle he was a bit on the weird side. Other than that Great food and great service all around. read more

We love their General Chicken and the Chicken lo mein. Food is fresh and ready fast. Friendly staff as well!

So I've lived in this area for two years and just had Captain Al's two weeks or so ago. Since then, I've been there 4-5 times! This place is a hidden gem. There aren't a lot of good places in this area to eat, and I'm so glad I found it. The guys are so humble and polite. I've never had a wrong order or food that is gross. I love this place, and you will too :) everything from the stuffed crab to the fried rice and wontons is absolutely delicious at a very fair price. read more

This place is always fast and the food is delicious. The portion sizes are always big, I have enough for two meals. I've lived in the area 4 yrs now and not once has it let me down. I usually call in my order as I leave my house, ready in 7 min. read more

Went to Captain Al's for lunch today. Quite a small hole in the wall, but really good overall. Had the General (first order at any Chinese place) and it was well flavored and well portioned. read more

Amazing tasting food. It took a while to receive it but well worth it. Used to come here when lived around the area and the food taste so delicious and huge portions has not changed. Great flavor and great service. read more

They have one of the best Lo mein and shrimp fried rice.. Although the wait is usually 25 minutes from the time you over you may want yo phone in your order... They have an awesome crawfish fried rice as well.. I've tasted the BBQ pork before and it was tender and full of flavor... read more

It's been my favorite place to eat since I can remember. Because of the army I don't make it back that often but every time I do I always make sure to stop by atleast once! read more

Bland is not the word for the tasteless food that comes out this place.The only redeeming grace is the chicken wings that although bland as they may be are well cooked and good sized.I suggest taking them to go and pulling out some Franks hot sauce and tony zatarans creole seasoning.Why do I eat here its 3minutes from my house.I'm just a soul food raised hometown boy,but if you're someone who shys from spices hop aboard Captain Als. read more

So yummy! I don't agree with the reviewer that says the food here is bland. The food here is seasoned adequately to the palette. I love that it's a family owned business and the triple delight is my favorite! They keep it original here and I like that. Probably the best and authentic Chinese food in Houston. read more

Went here for the first time based on reviews..best Chinese food in the area hands down. My food was cooked to order. One dinner serving is enough to feed 2 people. The pork egg rolls are amazing! Will definitely visit again....don't judge a restaurant by its location. read more

Go to restaurant when I'm hungry. Y'all definitely need to stop by and try this place out. You won't be disappointed. Fried rice is amazing, Lo mein is perfect, even the burgers are good! Overall great experience every time I go here. read more

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. All the food I've tasted from this place is delicious "Specially the General Chicken", beats the taste to all the general chickens other restaurants sale. read more

Have been going here for years, good food, great service, very nice family owned business. If you think it's bland like 1 of the other responders... then add some soy sauce or salt or whatever you prefer. I like my food a little on the salty side so I get extra sause. It's a restaurant and has to cater to everyone. read more
