    Charmin Café in Crosby, Texas was a pleasant surprise. Again it was another one of these very nice restaurants set in a strip shopping center that's easy to overlook. Charming Café has both Chinese and Japanese cuisine. They sushi of several varieties; but they also have eggrolls, sweet-and-sour chicken and king pao chicken. The place is small, but not tiny. It's very unpretentious, but comforting. My wife had a selection off the lunch menu that featured, sweet-and-sour chicken, salad, fried rice , egg roll and crab puffs all for under nine dollars. I had the spicy Kung pao chicken, that is a house specialty with steamed rice. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive and the food came out hot and quickly . I was so impressed with the place, I got to go menu for future visits.

    Checked out this spot while visiting some family in town. We were greeted and sat immediately in a cozy booth. There are also tables and a high top table by the sushi bar. We ordered drinks and started with the chicken egg roll as an appetizer. We both enjoyed the egg roll and then it was on to the main course. Hubby ordered his usual chicken and broccoli with fried rice. I ordered the Mongolian beef with steamed rice. Both dishes were flavorful, however, the beef was a little spicier than I'm accustomed to. Overall we had great service and great food at a reasonable price. We'll definitely stop by again whenever we're in the area.

    Good food each time we order out or dine in. We get good service each time, although the dining area tables and chairs needs updating.

The food is always great as well, one of the best places to get asain food in the baytown area. I am always stuffed and very full when I leave this place. Thank you so much, see you all next time. many compliments to the chef and cooks.

    This restaurant left a lot to be desired. I took a chance while I was in Baytown as I saw they had…read morevarious locations around Houston. As we walked in the hostess/waitress looked at us and kept asking "what?" at least 4 times before she realized we wanted a table for 2. We were seated and we felt like we were inconveniencing the waitress as she seemed to not really want to be there at all. It felt like wanted to take our orders, and leave our table ASAP. Maybe she was having a bad day, but it did not seem like standard service. The "fresh" soup dumplings were so thick and chewy. Normally soup dumplings are supposed to be thin and delicate but these were the complete opposite. The beef noodle soup lacked flavor all around. I ordered it with wide noodles as the server told me they were around half an inch wide, my noodles came out and they were over an inch wide... which is not what I expected. The scallion pancake was the best item I had that night and that says a lot since it was probably frozen/pan fried. The poor service coupled with the food definitely left a bad taste in our mouths. I wouldn't go back or recommend this place to anyone as there are plenty of other soup dumpling restaurants in the Houston are

    My favorite place for Peking duck around the Houston area. It's a little farther out, but I usually…read morestop by whenever I'm driving to or from AIH. The duck is roasted for hours, so the skin comes out nice and crispy without being too greasy. I also like that the remaining duck is made into a soup afterward. It's simple, hearty, and especially good on a colder day. I've tried several other dishes here, and they've all been solid and remind me of the Chinese food I grew up eating. The servers have always been attentive and friendly, and the restaurant is spacious, so it's a good spot for family dinners or larger groups.

    Where to begin? We stood a bit by the door waiting to be seated. Idk if they're short staffed or…read morethat's their reg staff. Which is wild cus they were running around that place nonstop. When we finally got seated we weren't asked What would you like to drink or this is our drink menu. It was-Water,right?right?Ok brb. So we had water just like the rest of the people in there. Also weird how they don't have any drinks on the menu or let you know about options. Could I have asked for something else? Sure but again waitresses were just all over the place it was crazy. When we ordered and others food was coming out we realized what big portions they give you. BTW just 'cus it's big portions doesn't mean This food is about to be the best Ive ever had. The food- We got some shrimp plate and we were told it was spicy because it has peppers and peppercorns which would numb your tongue.It was just basic shrimp dish. Only good or cool part of it was eating lotus root which Ive never had before. We also ordered the "special" house beef noodles and I don't see the hype or why they're so special. The only crazy part was the noodles length. Which honestly made it hard to eat. We ordered the duck which came with the soup. The soup was made from scraps. I think if they had added more duck and not just scraps it would be my fav thing of everything we ordered. Will say it tasted like chicken soup. For the duck. It wasn't as crispy as people made it seem to be. I expect idk a more gamey flavor to it and all I kept saying is-This taste like pork carnitas. Idk why we got treated better than the table behind us. We asked for to go just like they did but they just gave them their to-go plates like Here ya go and they put all of our food in our to-go for us. Would I go back? Its one of those you say- Ok I've had it,had the duck,don't get the hype but ok not worth coming back again for more.
