    Seafood fried rice with an eggroll and a drink of your choice for $3.99. Very good deal!
    Maria W.

    I could ask my boyfriend a million times why haven't you taken me to this nice cheap Chinese restaurant and you know what he'd tell me? Oh, Maria there isn't any good restaurants on my side of town..but nope wait you are wrong... Here's China One, a super duper inexpensive cheap on the dollar restaurant that doesn't charge you extra for anything. Even the catering plates are cheap, just $25 for a whole tub of food..perfect for someone who doesn't like to cook and can eat for about 2 weeks.. They got some specials and some good specials...my seafood fried rice I ordered was only $3.99 for all that food, a veggie eggroll, and a drink of your choice..now I've never been to a Chinese take out place where the prices were that low..I thought I was in heaven dreaming when I seen that. Now, the seafood fried rice, I've never had in my whole entire life usually Chinese restaurants would have chicken, pork, beef, tofu, or even plain fried rice, but not just a seafood with crab meat and shrimp in it..that was a big score for me because I absolutely love seafood..not the phrase see food..like I see it and eat it..but ocean food. The taste was on point delicious and I tell you what I still have some in the fridge waiting for me to eat..I might even scrambled me some eggs and eat it in the morning for breakfast. The interior of the restaurant was OK nothing special; looked like an average Asian restaurant to me just some tables and chairs, pictures of the menu items in English and Spanish to read, a cooler filled with sodas, waters, canned juices, no alcohol though. Once you get to the counter to order it isn't all special, just look to your right and you'll see the pictures. Oh and they did have some cute paper lanterns that I seen at IKEA once. I used to tell people that I didn't like Chinese food because since I moved back to Houston I couldn't find any good Chinese restaurant in my area or in Houston, but this one is pretty darn good though it isn't near my house. I prefer Vietnamese since it is more of a variety and the food is yummy all the time. Anywho, whenever I'm craving Chinese which my body is starting to crave some now I will definitely come here.. I just wonder why isn't there cheap Chinese restaurants like this in my neighborhood..I mean Scarsdale is packed with Asian restaurants and shopping centers..but none of them are cheap like this spot! This place doesn't suck and the food wasn't cooked in old oil like they do at McDonald's----come here!! Food is good and you won't break the bank!

    Soup yummy

    Oh my goodness they have the best soups and I love soup! One of my favorite spots for lunch.

    Sorta virtuous...hey, there's a lot of veg under there!

    Can you eat relatively healthy (if not keto or clean) at a Chinese Buffet? Yes. Yes, you can. One trip for sautéed chicken for protein and green beans and some moo goo gai pan vegetables made me feel virtuous. I treated myself to an egg roll in place of meh dessert calories. Service for a buffet is quick and always friendly.

    Ordered delivery. It was on time. Food was hot but did not like the egg rolls or the Kung pao shrimp. Pork dumplings were ok.

    Hot chicken + styrofoam= bad idea. Please throw a sheet of foil down. I didn't want to eat any pieces that surely had melted polystyrene

    Look no further for authenticity, flavor, and complexity in Chinese cooking near the med center!…read more Though we opted for more "simple" dishes during this experience, you can judge a place by if they can do their simple dishes well. The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

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!

My friend Aurora wanted to meet Donna early dinner and gossip session and she really liked this place. (We tried having a team lunch at the Rice Village location during the cold front last Oct but they had no heat so we opted for a warmer place but she grabbed a to go on the way home) Here we are for a late lunch 3:45 pm on a Friday. Parking was none had to drive around the block and saw some movement and bam, someone was leaving. We ordered at the bar, staff was super nice and opted to sit outside. Did not realize they deliver to the table. Order: Mongolian beef combo with fried rice and egg roll $14.99 The food comes in takeaway style containers. Win. Mongolian beef (2.5/5) - slightly over sauced for me; beef was pretty tender and there were carrots and edamame which is not the standard so maybe that's what makes it fusion? Fried rice (3/5) - standard style fried with small pieces of bean sprouts which I love so that was a nice surprise Egg roll (3/5) - I assume it was chicken because I didn't realize there was a choice) - it was crunchy and soft on the inside which I like, and pairs well with sriracha (did not eat till I got home) They seem to do a whole lot of take away. The staff were nice and hard working. I was excited when they first opened bc they had chow fun on the menu and being HK Cantonese, I love that dish but when I ordered it the 1st and 2nd time eight years ago instead of bean sprouts they had cabbage and that alters rhe flavor tremendously. I see why it's popular among the people but just don't think it is for my taste.
