    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.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

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.

Today was my lucky day because there was plenty of parking spots and seats (although the parking lot is very small). This place is great! I understand the hype for sure. When you walk inside it's just about the smallest restraunt I've ever. Very cozy and cute vibe with smooth jazz playing on a speaker and we got our food very fast. I really enjoyed my time here. Dry Fried Green Beans 5/5- these are the best green beans I have had in my life! I am not exaggerating like I will be thinking about these green beans all week. Do not hesitate to try these. Perfectly salty and good amount of crunch still left. The flavors they used are just perfect. Colorful Beef 4/5- The texture of the beef was so tender and not chewy at all like other places. The flavor was bright and the bell peppers were cooked through well. The issue I had with this dish was the sichuan peppercorns. I was just eating and not really looking at it super closely so I got a mouth full of these peppercorns and wow it was actually horrible. Just beware because the texture of these things are god awful and I think that they should be taken out like how a bay leaf is removed before serving. It was just really intense and it almost ruined the dish for me honestly. Other than that a great dish. My mouth was so numb but worth it. Dandan noodles 2/5- This was my first time trying this dish anywhere and I did not really enjoy it at all. The sesame flavor was really strong and it wasn't really salted at all. Very strange flavor. I will not order this again, however I do believe that the execution on this dish is great. There was a lot of sauce and the noodles were cooked well. I just really wish I liked the flavor of this dish and that's a personal problem. This dish also made my mouth numb but the flavor did not make it worth it. I wanted to like these so badly but I just couldn't do it. I will be back!
