    The best Chinese food restaurant in Galveston. They do a much better job than appearance would suggest.

    General Tsaos chicken and pork fried rice (not a broccoli fan) but it was so good!
    Marcella V.

    The place looks beat up and run down but don't let it fool you. We ordered to go and the service was pretty quick. The food was so fresh and delicious, I highly recommend. This will definitely be my go to for Chinese from now on.

    Chicken Lo Mein

    So I call and order take out over the phone and all is good. We leave to go pick it up and when you pull up to the establishment and it looks run down and just god awful to the point I asked my husband "are you sure we should eat here?" He says sure so he goes in and pays and we leave. We get back to our room and this is not cashew chicken. I call them and tell them I think we got someone else's order, she argues with me and I tell her I don't want a refund I just want the right food. I explain to her what I'm looking at and she says it is cashew chicken, I tell her I really don't think it is but if this is what their cashew chicken looks like I don't want it. she tells me she will not refund me my money and hangs up on me. (super professional) so I call back and ask how we can resolve this and she says we can't they are totally unwilling to work with me in any way. DO NOT GO HERE! THE "cashew chicken" LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE DOG FOOD I also added a picture of their god awful Chicken Lo Mein

    Very good portion sizes for the price. Very tasty like a home cooked meal. Very good service and it looks to be a local family restaurant.

    I don't really like leaving subpar reviews. This restaurant has been on the island a long time. So…read moreI think some locals feel a bit nostalgic about it. The truth is, I didn't actually enjoy the food very much. Unfortunately, other than Panda Express, I don't think there's another Chinese restaurant here. And I would have rather had orange chicken from Panda Express than the Moo Goo Gai Pan I had for lunch at Happy Buddha. I will say this though, the service was wonderful and the building is quite interesting. Would I recommend? Nah, not really. Would I go back? Maybe, if I knew the company I was going with would be good enough for me to overlook the food.

    Happy Buddha is, in my opinion, the best Chinese restaurant on Earth. Their food is great, the…read moreservice amazing, and the atmosphere? Exceptional! Personally, I love the Moo Goo Gai Pan. It's the best I've ever had! Each dish has a unique taste and texture, even when they seem the same. The combos come with egg rolls, fried rice, and sweet and sour chicken or pork, which are all exceptional as well. Not only is their food delicious, but it's also healthy. The Moo Goo Gai Pan even has bamboo chutes! All the waiters a waitresses are really nice, never getting annoyed by the complications of your orders. They even let my very picky brother change out the sweet and sour chicken for soup, and the fried rice for white rice, never even a single frown or glare. Also, everything there looks so authentic! When you walk in the door, there are two happy Buddha statues; one small and gold sitting on a table, and one large on the way to the seating area. Rumor says, if you rub the large statue's belly, you get good luck! The seating places are exquisite as well. They even have a wall made of rock!

    I've been a happy patron of Hu's Cooking ever since they opened the year before the pandemic, but…read morebecause of their instant success and local renown from their excellent eats, speedy service, busy-but-not-crowded vibes (see: their 1000+ Yelp reviews) I've never felt the need to drop a review of my own - until just this week. On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.
