Meat was meat was very soggy you can tell it was sitting over the sitting time when everything was supposed to be freshly made
Redd Y.

I wouldn't order from here again it has went down hill after 2 years of me moving back the quality of the food is not even worth a one star comes out very slimy and soggy. Rice is very disgusting and old egg shows as if it's been sitting Please don't order the crab Rangoon's It's more cream cheese, no crab at all., and most of all the package, everything separately. The service is horrible also the manager gets an attitude when you tell her about the horrible food and thinks it's ok to start a sentence off with first off. Service shows very argumentative. I feel like OSHA needs to go in and temp. Check every item in there.

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.

Full of Yummilicious Cheese.

This River surely did run through China!! Not much too look at from the outside but this tiny spot nestled in a strip center certainly packs a Powerful punch!! Freshly made food's and Big portions.....value priced items and Delicious across the board!! Eggdrop soup was Decadent!! Crab Rangoon was the Bestest I've Ever Had Ever!!! Triple Delicious Delights was Yummilicious in everyway!! Server came often to full drink's and food came out in a timely manner too. This little place had a constant flow of walk in traffic picking up orders and phone orders ringing off the hook!! (Sign's of Large Customer Base Following) Owner/Operator was hands on and active throughout this location!! Speaking Mandarin and Spanish too!! My complements to the Chef's and Establishment!! Fantastic Experience and Food's!!

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.

I made the decision to eat lunch here after having a craving for Chinese food and reading the many…read moregreat reviews. Unfortunately, I shouldn't have ignored the average reviews, as this is what it turned out to be. I had lunch at Bambi House this last Friday for the first time. I was disappointed for a couple of reasons: my Orange chicken was basically mostly tempura and very thin slices of chicken. I had purchased the orange chicken, which was $9.85, with egg fried rice. The chicken was average in flavor, but as I mentioned before, the chicken was in thin slices; therefore, I mostly had tempura drowned in the orange chicken sauce. The fried rice was bland in flavor. Honestly, I agree: half and the re w the rest away. Admittedly, all of the 5-star reviews I read praised the duck, so perhaps that's what they're really good at. Unfortunately, I will probably never be back, because thin slices of chicken don't meet my expectations.
