I've been coming here for a long time. It was one of the few authentic Taiwanese eateries in Sugar Land for awhile, and it was popular because the price was right, and the food was pretty good. The menu has definitely grown since its earlier years, and the prices have also increased quite a bit, but it's still some delicious food, very filling, with that homemade vibe. The chicken bites are a fan favorite here. The chicken is so flavorful and soft with that nice bit of crunch. Yummy! This plate hits the spot! The fried pork chop and fried fish are also delightfully tasty, though the pork chop can be overcooked and tough at times. You get the choice of rice or soup with a lot of the options. I prefer the rice. It comes with egg and a vegetable, plus an additional side. The soup comes with soft overcooked noodles, bok choy, and a very light delicate broth. They offer boba tea and shaved ice as well, if a refreshing sweet treat is preferred. This is an order at the counter type of place! Definitely stop by a quick home style meal. read more

Small but cozy place! The restaurant is family run and they still serve generous portions for a decent price. It's self serve so you order at the counter. My favorite is their fried chicken bites! It tastes super crispy and juicy. Tastes pretty authentic, similar to the Taiwanese version. Would recommend if you're looking for a hearty meal. read more

Coco's Cafe - (R3) rice with fried chicken bites - Taiwanese Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

Exceptional employees, great home cooking meals. Dine in was good. Love the friend noodle dish.

Great customer service and very friendly employees. The popcorn chicken dish was nice and crunchy. Tofu and veggies come with the dish for a more balanced dish. The soft texture of the tofu and crunchy texture of the broccoli are a good complement to the chicken. The only complaint is that the chicken and gravy on the tofu are too salty. Else this is a good dish. read more

Coco's Cafe - Popcorn chicken - Taiwanese Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

Coco's is a local favorite and serves some of the most authentic and affordable Taiwanese food in the Houston area! I've been coming here for as long as I can remember, so I wanted to give them a shoutout. They have an extensive menu which includes rice and noodle dishes, noodle soups, dumplings, tofu, milk tea/fruit smoothies, and shaved ice. Most of the dishes range between $7-$11 so it's a really good deal for the large portions that you get. Here's what I ordered: - Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken with rice plate (鹽酥雞飯) - Beef Noodle Soup (牛肉麵) - Shredded Pork and Pickled Cabbage Noodle Soup (雪菜肉絲麵) - Dried Tofu (豆腐乾) - Milk Tea with Tapioca Lowkey, family-run, great vibes, and always friendly service! read more

This place has awesome Taiwanese dessert like shaved ice, sweet tofu soup and assorted teas. They also let you pick various toppings like jelly (aiyu, grass, almond etc.), red beans or fruit. I got a sweet tofu soup, a shaved ice and a ginger tea (hot) which was excellent. Also a lemon iced tea. Service was also very prompt - although I wished they brought the food out to you as opposed to you having to go up to the counter to get it (I think one dish was brought to me however). The interior is small but spacious enough to be comfortable - you can also watch whatever it is they are playing on the TV (at the time that movie about young Gru and the Minions). Recommended! read more

Whaaa!!! I'm in tears. I am so happy that Coco's Cafe 可可餐飮 in Sugarland - the one-and-only Taiwanese restaurant still here after CoVid restaurant lockdown of 2020 and chaotic year of restrictions in 2021. My sister requested a special trip because she remembered the tastes when she visited 6 years ago. That was when I hosted Taste of Taiwan UYE and discovered Coco's Cafe has what we crave for. They removed stinky tofu from the menu due to a complaint from a group of customers walked out years ago. We chatted with the owner Mr. Wang. He said they stayed open during CoVid, simply because they didn't have anything else to do. That's a lot of restaurant owners said. It's either stay at home do nothing or come to work because of their passion in feeding hungry customers. They had trouble finding employees, just like any restaurants out there. So, your patience is required. From where I can tell, Mr. Wang will continue serving delicious Taiwanese food until the lease ends. You better hurry up before it's too late. read more

The egg/tofu appetizers plus their chili/soy sauce sauce is always a favorite of mine!! So simple but the flavors mix well together and the sauce isn't overly spicy and is pretty sweet. Pork Chop Rice is one of my favorites in houston. It did go up in price but is still under $10 pretax. The breading is pretty light and the pork chop is juicy. The side dishes are just ok compared to some of the other Taiwanese restaurants in houston but overall it's decent value for the amount of food you get. read more

Food is always great and hot. Drinks are a bit overly sweet though. Wish they would offer more Taiwanese dishes similar to China Gourmet. Downside I would say is the hours have been cut back and it just so happens every time I'd like to order from here, they are closed. Interior is decent, not modern or the cleanest but not dirty like you'd see a roach crawling around or anything. Services is pretty fast and if you order ahead it is usually ready by the time you pick up. All in all it's my favorite go-to for Taiwanese food read more

Do not wake me up before you Coco to Coco's Cafe, because it's just not my place. Ew. One of our worst experiences in Houston right down from the way that we were greeted with the most hostile, what the f are you doing in my place, kind of attitude, right down to the horrendous dumplings that tasted like they had been sitting in the warm sun for about 2 months and made me sick and I only had one. Everything about this place was disappointing and if it wasn't a family business I would give it one star and I certainly won't come back. read more

Awesome spot for Taiwanese food in sugar land. Service was top notch and ambiance was very family vibe would highly recommend

First time coming here upon a friend's recommendation. It's a no frill restaurant. Just mostly traditional taiwanese home cooking. I tried the pork katsu with rice and popcorn chicken. The lightly breaded pork katsu was perfectly seasoned. I appreciate that it came with 2 veggie side dishes. The popcorn chicken was good but I wish it had more basil. All in all , a great value because of reasonable prices and delicious food. Will come back to try other dishes. read more

Coco's Cafe - Pork Katsu with veggies. - Taiwanese Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

We've only ordered from here via UberEats thanks to the pandemic. The food carries out very well, one time our order was delayed by half an hour and it was still tasty when it arrived! My favorite items are the popcorn chicken rice and the pork chop rice. Keeps surprisingly well despite being fried, and it's not too oily or salty. I also like their ground pork rice, which is the base that they use for their other combo rice dishes. Their fried rice and noodles are pretty good, my husband usually likes to get those. Their dumplings are pretty standard for any Chinese/Taiwanese cafe. Prices are very reasonable, usually $10 or less per person, and you get a LOT of food. read more

I've been eating at Coco's cafe since I was a kid and have never been disappointed by the food here. The family that owns the store is awesome and the food fulfills any Taiwanese food cravings. I always get the popcorn chicken with rice plate or the fried pork chop with rice plate. The portion sizes are large and I am always stuffed after coming here. The dumplings here are also pretty good and definitely will fill you up. My parents also used to bring us here during the summer for shaved ice. If the hot weather is getting to be too much, I recommend stopping by for shaved ice. They have all the traditional Taiwanese shaved ice toppings to choose from. read more

We went there for some 卤肉饭 rice with stewed pork. It is not a disappointment. We also had some Taiwanese fried chicken with us. I won't call it not authentic even there is no basil leaves. The milk tea is a bit too sweet in my opinion, which we will not get next time. The meal is more like a homemade Taiwanese food, as it is a family owned business. read more

I used to eat here all the time, but lately I've been disappointed by the overall quality and cleanliness of the food. Got take out today and found a hair wrapped around my crispy chicken- diiiiiisgusting! I used to love the curry chicken and shaved ice here but I feel like the food isn't as good as it used to be. :( Such a shame as this is one of the only Taiwanese food joints in Sugar Land! read more

Coco's Cafe - Yuck! Found a hair in my crispy chicken. Looks like it was deep fried, too. - Taiwanese Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

You want some Taiwanese food? Coco's to the rescue! My Taiwanese friend and his family have been patronizing Coco's for years. I never got in on the action because I'm not really a fan of Taiwanese food and the vegetarian/vegan options are sparse here. I've gotten the shaved ice a couple of times - it's reasonably priced, but it's nowhere as delicious as some of the places in actual Chinatown. I usually get the red beans, peanuts, taro, and occasionally mix it up. The sugary syrup is critical and condensed milk if you're down with milk. It's so so . . . maybe "good," but I am holding out on that designation. I've had the fried tofu here - it's softer tofu coated with a thin cornstarchy layer and deep fried - not the best of you, but pretty all right with the thick soy sauce dip, but certainly nowhere near the best. My friend and his family enjoy the box lunches quite frequently, so I assume they're pretty darn tasty. However, I don't know if I'd be so keen on the few vegetarian options because as aforementioned, the distinctive stench of this place is intense. Nothing like being slapped in the face with that Taiwanese food smell as my friend and his wife have remarked. The cashiers and food preparers here aren't the most welcoming and warm, but Coco's isn't exactly the type of place you'd want to spend extended hours at - due to the oh-so-special smell. Pretty all right place for omnivore to-go orders, not so awesome for vegans . . . read more

Coco's Café has been around for a long time. It is in a small space next to the Welfresh Asian supermarket at Highway 6 and Dulles. It is a restaurant that serves authentic Chinese cuisines from appetizers, snacks, noodle dishes, dumplings, and rice dishes. They also have a shaved ice section as well as serving boba tea. These days where boba tea is becoming more common, I do not see that many people order them from Coco's than in the past, those that do are probably getting them as a compliment to their meal. the Shaved ice section seemed to be getting even less attention. Like another reviewer have pointed out, there are no physical menus to hold and look at, but rather, the food items are all listed on the walls. You order your food at the counter, and find a place to sit and wait for your food to arrive. Typical wait time is acceptable for the food to arrive. The most often ordered snack type item is probably the Crispy Chicken Bites (with basil), it is seasoned breaded chicken pieces in bite sizes (may remind one of popcorn chicken), but it's seasoned very differently and is something that we used to order more (trying to cut back on fried foods). Other staples of the restaurant are their chicken/pork/fish cutlet rice/noodle dishes, which are generally well received because they are again breaded and fried. The complimentary veggies and the half marinated egg are generally well selected that compliments the meal well. One cannot go wrong with Beef Noodle Soup either. The marinated beef in a savory broth complimented by pickled vegetable is a welcome meal, not just on a cool day, but any given one. The restaurant also offers weekly dinner package menus where guests can call ahead of time to order their dinner dishes (menus would alter), for those working late and would just pick up the already made meals than having to go home and cook. The restaurant have been here this long and most of its patrons are returning customers. As more and more restaurants move into town, they too have to make adaptations so that they can survive, which they did by adding new menu items, getting rid of some unpopular items, and keeping the popular staples. Coco's Café has its niche market/customers and will likely to stick around, as long as it would like to. read more

Finally found a real Chinese food to my taste. Come here once a week. And bring dumplings home. So glad that I found this restauran,

I have been going here ever since I was a kid and it's been one of my favorite comfort places ever

It's more 3.5 stars if I'm Chinatown but being in Sugar Land and good food, this place deserves 4 stars. Some unique dishes like the bean thread noodle beef soup is different from other places around here. They make a good "popcorn" chicken rice dish and we look forward to trying more dishes here. read more

Bad drinks and bad service. The taro and thai milk teas were gross and tasted watery rather than creamy, the boba at the bottom were flavorless and disgusting. I asked for the taro milk tea to come hot since all the bubble tea places I've been to thus far can make them hot or cold, and the guy behind the counter flatly said no. The shaved ice bowl was constructed poorly with all the toppings piled into the bottom of a tiny bowl and like 4 cups of shaved ice comically heaped over the top...you had to eat all the way to the bottom of the bowl to get any toppings so we ended up scooping the ice out into another bowl so we could get toppings. There were 2 high school students behind the counter who were confused, disorganized, and over-worked so I felt pretty bad for them, but they also weren't exactly friendly or polite. The place itself is rather dingy and unkempt, I'd normally let these things slide if this joint was in Chinatown where sanitary standards and good service take a backseat to killer, cheap food...but this is Sugar Land, the perfect suburban bubble where I'd expect things to be clean (granted this is a small Chinatown square in Sugar Land...but still). read more

I just go there to get frozen dumplings. They are very good, always. In the past we tried some of their dishes. All good too.

It's a typical Asian cafe serving pearl milk tea and Asian snacks/desserts. I like that it's in a plaza with Jade Garden (great Chinese restaurant) and The Old Place (pretty good Taiwanese restaurant) so that I can just stop by after dinner. I'm also glad that I can come here instead of driving all the way to the Bellaire/Chinatown area. I've only ever ordered one type of drink from there, but I'm so impressed by the quality of it that I'm giving this place 4 stars. This is the only pearl milk tea place I've gone to where they use actual taro pieces to make their taro freeze and taro milk tea. (Other places use that powder stuff.) It's delicious, but be warned that it's really filling since it is genuine, 100% taro... plus a few other things. :-) read more

The lists of names like US Postal services, City Water, Cable TV, all calling cards to lowering the expectations, and walking in to Coco's you instantly realize this belong on that list. Located in Sugarland, but the interior worse than the occasional dinning sections in rural gas stations. The wall, the furniture, the TV and menu's all look like they out date the Ming Dynasty. My heart sank as I study the menu(In English and Chinese with faded pictures on the wall). Lets say presentation was a class these guys skipped and I'm not about to brave the restrooms. Food: Rice with porkchop(N2?)- Coco's did it! they finally found a source for pork that is half fat and half meat. Thank god for the free ice tea, or I would have thrown up on a few of the bites. The other sides(Rice, soy sauced egg, Steamed Brocoli, corn carrots ham) are decent. Me thinks half of the marble chop was supposed to be delivered to the botox clinic instead? This is like playing mine sweeper, except the wrong bite would induce vomit. Never thought they day would come when I would give pork an : F Fried Cuttle fish balls- Thank god the ice tea was free to wash the after taste out of my mouth. C With the free ice tea my bill was about $9.20. Regret... Now the other items on the menu could be really good(But it didnt look like from the other customers frowns as they nipped), and the counter girl is very courteous. But after that lard Chop, and the rush for tooth brush and gum, lets just say I wont be supporting my fellow Asian brotherhood at this location. read more

Coco's is a Sugar Land staple. This is a cafe that serves Taiwan-style Chinese food and has been doing so for almost a decade. I've been going to Coco's for YEARS now because they have really cheap, delicious food. They can be a little slow on service when the cafe gets crowded, so don't go expecting a nice, fancy restaurant (most Chinese places are not "up-scale"). The utensils and water are all self-serve; there is communal sauce that sits on a little stand next to the TV. Food: For dinners, you can call in and reserve a to-go packed dinner; this usually serves a family of 5 and comes with 3 dishes and a full box of rice. These dishes are off-menu items and are things like -- fried fish, spicy tofu, kung pao chicken etc. As for their regular items, I've pretty much eaten everything on their menu. In my opinion, they have some of the best fried rice in Houston. (My family is from Taiwan though, so my Chinese food tastebuds are tailored to like Taiwan-style food). They're fried tofu isn't really fried, so its nice and light and great for an appetizer. Their noodle soups are also amazing! Pretty much everything at Coco's is pretty light but still flavorful. read more
