    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.

    Hands down the best Chinese around. The shaggy dog, is AMAZING. & the orange chicken has the sweetest orange flavor. Don't forget the miso soup . Friendly customer service, clean, and YUM.

    Chicken egg roll

    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.

The only indication that they are here is a street sign off of FM 2100 Near Highway 90. This is the first time I've been to this location. In the past, I've been to other locations and enjoyed the experience. However, I learned this location since Covid no longer has a buffet. So everything is ordered off a menu. Everything we tried from the won ton soup, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and fried shrimp seemed to be made to order. They were all hot, fresh and delicious. I'd heard not to many complementary things about this location in the past. I was told they now has new management with a new attitude. I would have to agree. The experience was quite enjoyable, and the food was delicious.

However, I think that location might be closed down. Anyway, I believe this is one of the better Chinese restaurants around for the price. The chicken was freshly grilled, the noodles tasted high quality, the portions are wonderful, and the service is good.

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

I've done Peking…read moreCuisine for years and shifted to Arco for my duck cravings, but if you're willing to drive out to Humble (pretty much anytime you're in the IAH area), you gotta check out Bamboo House for the best Peking duck. And their other menu items are fire as well! We went on a Sunday late evening. We had a 9 pm airport pickup at IAH so it was a perfect opportunity to grab a spectacular dinner and make the 30+ minute drive out to IAH totally worth it. Parking lot wasn't too full so that wasn't an issue. While the neighborhood ain't River Oaks luxury, it ain't too scary either. We kept it simple - ordered a whole duck and Bamboo House Special Noodle with Beef. This place ain't cheap but the food is worth every penny. It was very busy that evening so it's not a well-kept secret but also proves that eventually, Houstonians will figure out where the good food is. The duck was near perfect. They serve the duck with the pancakes (as opposed to the buns like at Arco) which is my preference. The soup that comes with it was also extremely flavorful. And the house special noodles with beef - oh my. I swear it's just one really long noodle so you may be frustrated trying to divvy up the family style bowl, but the labor is worth it. So good... Can't wait for my next airport run so I can sneak in a lunch or dinner at this place. So many other menu items I want to try!

I had previously visited the now closed Bamboo House on Westheimer and I remember being impressed by the food. I had to make an airport run and decided that it would be perfect timing to stop by this location. I highly recommend ordering the duck ahead of time, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the last ducks when we arrived around 7 pm on a Sunday evening. The waitress was super friendly and upbeat and the restaurant is older but well maintained. You can see where the food is being prepared/cooked and you can see ducks being cooked/warmed behind a glass window. The duck was absolutely spectacular with the perfect seasoned and tender meat accompanied by well rendered crispy skin. I love how the pancakes are paper thin and pair well with the scrumptious duck and other toppings. They also provide sugar and plum sauce as additional toppings which I thought was interesting but not my cup of tea. The duck soup was extremely flavorful and full bodied and went well with the duck. The noodles were also amazing with likely hand pulled noodles served with an abundance of tender beef and vegetables with a little Sichuan kick. I was intrigued by a strawberry chicken dish that I saw on the menu and I plan to try it the time. My diagnosis: hands down the best Peking duck in the greater Houston area!
