    Chicken LoMein
    Aurelia A.

    If your looking for inexpensive, great porpotion size and tasty Chinese food this is a great place to come. I have tried the Chicken Lomein, Magnolia Beef and Orange chicken and have not been disappointed with those selections. The egg drop soup is good however I will definitely give the fried rice a negative its pretty much the white rice with alot of soy sauce..The service is okay they definitely need a few more people one person handles the phone orders and sits you so it was a little wait with no one really being in there. Not much of an ambiance inside the sitting area.

    Decent Chinese food in a strip center in Humble. Lots of food. Fills you up quickly.

    Shrimp and vegetables
    Latanya W.

    Just placed an order for shrimp and vegetables. The shrimp was raw and mushy, not to mention the fried rice appeared to be thrown on the dish. I tried calling and resolving the issue and was told to wait until the manager got in; which would be 4:30p.m. No thanks !!! I'll take my business elsewhere. My advice, if you have a delivery, please check your food make sure you aren't being served raw food. And as far as the review, you don't deserve one star!! I had to give you that!

    Decent Chinese food in the Humble area is scarce so China River was a great find. The prices are good, the portions are ample and the food is cooked to order so that means hot and fresh.... It is located in small business plaza behind Olive Garden so if you blink, you might miss the signage. I met the owner while waiting on my food and had the opportunity to ask her about her food journey. She is very humble and I appreciated her taking the time to share with me. The Beef Fried Rice was ohh soo good!!! Will have to order extra green onions on the next go around. Overall good place and savory food.

    My experience was terrible with who I'm pretty sure was the owner on August 19 at 8:50 right before closing. She was extremely aggressive and rude over to go cups of Sriracha when I had just had my birthday dinner on August 15th there and they gave us Sriracha too though. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day, but I just think it's insane that she was talking to me the way she was over 2 ounces of Sriracha makes it really hard to really wanna eat there again and spend my money. Every Chinese/Asian restaurant that I went to have no problem supplying you with Sriracha and I know for a fact that a bottle of Sriracha is not five dollars, so for you to try to charge me for 2 to 4 ounces of Sriracha five dollars is insane... and telling me to put myself in your shoes as if I don't own a business myself and have a uncle that owns a restaurant in Houston is insane what was being insinuated.

    I have heard great feedback about Bambok House and and their authentic Chinese Cuisine. The first…read moretime I visited I planned it to the T and when I visited their bar was not operational any longer, and that was apart of my planning. So I left. The second time I visited, I had the Hong Shao Rou with mushrooms (Braised Pork Belly) to-go, not a huge fan of takeout and this didn't disappoint and it was good. The takeout team member was pleasant enough. They feature an open kitchen with two tops closer to the wall/glass and larger tables more toward the middle of the restaurant. From the outside it features the traditional Chinese architecture with western building base. I look forward to yaksying the rest of the menu this year.

But the inconsistency has been an issue for me, and the flavors aren't as good as they once were. Dishes I regularly ordered like Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Japanese Egg Tofu, and Honey Walnut Shrimp haven't stood out as much as of lately. Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

    Left No Grain of Rice Behind (and Met a Track Star)…read more (10/10) My husband and I wandered into Imperial China on a quiet night - just us two lovebirds and the immaculately clean scent of... well, perfection. Seriously, the place smelled so fresh you could probably perform surgery in the dining room (don't worry, they stick to cooking, which is way more impressive). But the real MVP was Kendall She ran the register, served us, and basically orchestrated our entire evening with the grace of a future Olympic athlete... which, as it turns out, isn't far off! She mentioned she used to run track and is getting back into it. Let me tell you, that explains everything. The speed at which she refilled our water? Blink-and-you-miss-it. The efficiency of her service? Faster than the hurdles she used to jump over. We half-expected her to hand us our fortune cookies while doing hurdle drills over the chairs! Kendall, if you're reading this - you're amazing, and please save some gold medals for the rest of us mere mortals. Now, the FOOD. Oh. My. Wok. We're usually "leftover champions" at Chinese restaurants - it's practically our marital duty. But not this time. We ordered the Combination Fried Rice loaded with goodies) and the Hunan Chicken (spicy, savory, downright addictive). It was so unbelievably delicious, so flawlessly cooked, that we licked our plates clean. Seriously. Not a single grain of rice, not a stray pepper, not even a suspiciously saucy smudge escaped. Our dog is currently giving us the stink-eye because there were zero take-home boxes. Zero! Imperial China broke our leftover streak, and we're not even mad. And as if the universe was nodding along, our fortune cookie sealed the deal: Thursday will bring trust on your new journey." Considering our journey involved demolishing enough food for three people and meeting a future track legend, we'd say it's already pretty darn trustworthy! Overall 10 out of 10. Flawless cleanliness, food that made us abandon all dignity (and leftovers), service faster than Kendall's personal best, and a fortune that felt weirdly on-point. Imperial China, you've won our hearts, our stomachs, and our clean plate awards. We'll be back... probably on Thursday. Just in case.

    Been ordering up Chinese found here for a few years, but we're likely not going to do so again…read more Gotten to the point where you get home and find $4-7 of the order wasn't received. And the last order just a couple days ago we discovered an intact full chicken embryo in the egg drop soup and didn't find it until we were on the last few spoons of soup. Which pretty much grossed us out.
