Every time my parents come to visit they request to come here! I shop often at the bodega next door (see my review for Granel) and I was starving one day after grabbing all of my spices. I checked this place on Yelp and noticed it's been around for over 40 years. That was good enough for me! Imagine freshly fried fish (corn or flour available!) like you're at the family cookout served with a side of fried rice from your favorite Chinese restaurant! All for less than $15! I order the same combo every time, the two pieces of bass cornmeal battered, 5 shrimp and the fried rice. I'm not a fan of ceviche but my homegirl and her mom ordered it and said it was amazing! The three of us ate for less than $50! Left full and content. If you find yourself in this area and you like fresh fried fish, this place does not miss!!!

The service was great--the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything arrived hot and fresh. As for the food, the seafood is tasty and seasoned perfectly; the fried shrimp and fish had a great crunch, and the shrimp fried rice is a must-try. The best part is that everything is reasonably priced for the generous portions you get. It's a reliable, "no-frills" staple in Houston that stays true to its roots. I'll definitely go back!

Texas doesn't really have good hibachi places even the Benihana's here is not great. I got the chicken dinner, which was really good. The only issue that I had was that it was a little bit cold. It should've been fresh and hot. So that really irked me. Pieces of my chicken were not warm. The vegetables were good and the rice itself is also really good The Yum Yum sauce I enjoyed I got the garlic noodle noodles and they were definitely a 10 out of 10. The four stars is specifically because like I said, I did enjoy the food. The price is great for the portions that you get. However, I'm gonna give three stars for the customer service. One star for the cleanliness of the place. Smelled like an old mop, especially in the bathroom smelled really bad. I ended up just sitting outside. There's no waitress so everything is about to go and you just eat at the tables. The wait time is pretty long However, I would definitely come back here. I think they just need to update their customer service.. air freshener or maybe a cleaner because the smell was horrible. But as far as the food, I definitely get a four out of five once I warmed it up it was really good.

I believe they advertise themselves as Vietnamese-style crawfish. I'm used to New Orleans/Louisiana style crawfish, but nonetheless, I was still eager to try. They started selling crawfish at 3 I got in line at 3:25. Line was small but moved veryyyy slowly. I got 2 lbs. ($11/lb pricey !!) of the hot & buttered -spicy, 2 eggs, and a sausage. It took about 45 min. to get my food. The sausage was decent but ultimately, I didn't taste any spice. It wasn't spicy at all. It was easy to peel so that was nice but I could tell the crawfish weren't from Louisiana waters .Idk i didn't like it, that's just me. It was worth a try though. The lines were long and I only see them getting longer as summer approaches. Still check them out, you just may like it!

Food was fantastic and highly recommend a reservation. A family was a walk in when we arrived and was quoted 45 min wait however we saw them being sat 1.5 hours after we were. The venue is def kid friendly with the aquarium as the attraction. Food was great, split the Broiled Fisherman's platter between two people which was a perfect amount of food. The tilapia was a bit bland with the shrimp being over cooked. We just wanted the fried gator which was an option while not on the menu. Shrimp scampi ravioli also a hit and the sauce was so tasty. The tres leches tiramisu was phenomenal. You won't be disappointed. Drinks also on point, had an espresso martini which on the second round, what looked to be a manager, quickly snatched the martinis stating it was not made up to standard and they would redo. You could see the difference and nice to know they've got that quality control. The ability to watch the fish while eating was entertaining and really enjoyed the whole ambiance.

It is trying to be many things at once. Bar, noodle house, small plate lounge, and a late meal destination all in the same breath. We started at the bar and stayed there longer than planned. The space itself has a good pulse. Dim enough to feel like evening even in the middle of the day, lively without becoming chaotic. Cocktails came steadily and the bar staff handled the crowd with ease. There is a rhythm to a place like that when it is working, and for a while it was working. The first round of food came in the bar area. An egg roll dish that was fine in a forgettable way. Chicken wings followed and landed in the same category. Not offensive, not memorable. Just there. The kind of food that fills the gap between drinks without ever demanding attention. Because of Father Day weekend timing, the staff moved us upstairs earlier than expected for our reservation. That gesture mattered. It showed a level of hospitality that deserves recognition even when the food does not fully rise to meet it. We settled in upstairs with more cocktails and waited for the second act. Upstairs, the pacing shifted. My niece ordered an oxtail rice bowl dish that seemed to do its job without drama. My wife had salmon rice bowl that was solid and reliable, the kind of dish that holds its shape in a busy menu without trying to steal the spotlight. I went with the lamb and shrimp pizza, which sounds more interesting than it ultimately tasted. The dough was serviceable. The sauce never quite found its direction. The lamb was surprisingly restrained, almost too much so, to the point where it disappeared into the background instead of anchoring the dish. Nothing was technically wrong with it, but nothing pulled me back for another bite either. And that is really the story of the place. Nothing wrong, nothing broken, but very little that lingers after you leave the table. What does stand out is the service. The staff handled a busy holiday weekend with patience and flexibility, and the bar team kept things moving with confidence. There is real potential here, the kind that suggests a kitchen still searching for its strongest voice. Leighton House of Lamb and Ramen is not a place I would go out of my way for again, but it is also not a place I would warn someone away from. It sits in that middle space where execution is competent and ambition is visible, but the memory fades faster than the meal.

6.5/10 I tried…read moreChina Stix after seeing it come up a few times when I searched for the best Chinese food in Texas, so I decided to drive a bit out of my way to check it out. Honestly, I would describe it as a lesser version of Panda Express. The combo plate was about $20, which felt pretty steep for what you get. My orange chicken portion was extremely small, I only got about five pieces. For that price, that was pretty disappointing. The beef and broccoli was decent, but not nearly as good as Panda Express. The vegetable spring roll and the General Tso's spicy chicken were not good at all. The chow mein was the only part of the meal that stood out. I'd say the chow mein was good, maybe even a tie with Panda Express, but that was really the only highlight. The food overall wasn't terrible, but considering the price and the extra drive, it just wasn't worth it. I could have gone to my local Panda Express, gotten a much bigger portion, and paid about half the price. For me, that makes it hard to justify coming back.
