I recently had dinner at Bantu House with my daughter. I am not very experienced with African…read morecuisine outside of South African restaurants and a few Ethiopian-style places, so this was a very new experience for me. Overall, I found the food to be very flavorful, well seasoned, and unique. My daughter and I actually ended up liking each other's meals more than our own, so we switched plates, which worked out well. We also ordered a few extra items, including wings and yams. The pounded yam was interesting and very different from anything I usually eat. It is probably not something I would go out of my way to order again, but I am glad I tried it and now understand a little better how it is eaten. The one disappointing part of the visit was the ordering experience. The young man who rang us up was polite, but he was unable to make any recommendations. He said he had been working there for about three months and still could not really suggest what to order. For someone like me, who is unfamiliar with this type of food, recommendations would have been very helpful. I would have appreciated some guidance on the most popular dishes, common choices, or what first-time customers usually enjoy. That said, the owner was extremely kind. She came out to our table, spoke with us, and helped explain how to eat some of the food we had ordered. I really appreciated that. She came across as a very sweet person, and based on her hospitality alone, I would come back to support the business. This style of food may not personally be my cup of tea or something I will crave often, but I respect the flavor, the care, and the local business behind it. I would give Bantu House four stars. It could have been closer to 3.5 for me personally, mostly because of the lack of ordering guidance, but the owner's kindness and the quality of the food pushed it to four.

We ordered at a kiosk, which is a big annoying to me-it takes forever to figure out how the menu works..but there was a long line to order from the one person taking orders (others have the same feeling as I do!) but we did it. I ordered a two by 2: a half turkey avocado and cup of tomato bisque. My husband got a Pick 3: a half French dip, lobster and crab bisque, and pimiento Mac and cheese. We munched on breadsticks while we waited for our meal. Since we ordered from the kiosk we were t given any cups for drinks. After a while, however, we went back to get some from the counter as it became clear that no one was bringing any. Our food was quite good. I loved my sandwich. Newk's bread is so delicious! The soup was equally good. My husband liked everything as well, but didn't love his soup. He said the pieces of ?crab? Or lobster? We're very chewy and not the best. Overall, though, we had a really good lunch.

Unique farm to table place in town !…read more Gear up with patience because this place will not serve quick. I recommend to choose indoor sitting only. We all know the Houston weather, it doesn't get any cooler. Although, at the patio, you can see curious chickens roaming around your tables, which is cute and entertaining. We sat in a hot day of July, in the patio. I drank enough melted iced water for the whole week. Service was super caring. Many check-ins, many reassurances that she didn't forget our orders. My friend and I were having the best time in catching up. Food was lean. Smoothies tasted so good. My friend loves their coffee there. I wish I had the energy to visit the surroundings of the restaurant. But given how hot it was, I had to leave this for another day. Parking isn't the easiest but keep in mind this is a popular spot! I really appreciate this unique concept to remind us where the food comes from. Highly recommend, as long as you have a lot of patience !

Food Good size ration of protein and noodles as some places give you more noodles than protein or vice versa. We like that not all broths are beef broths. The chicken vermicelli dish I got wasn't the usual lemongrass chicken as it was a different seasoning. Not a bad thing just different. Service was good! Staff was attentive and very friendly with our son. They did give us scissors to cut the noodles and it was in a plastic wrap. Might have been new scissors. Only thing I thought was I guess tacky? The middle central table in the restaurant was filled with their condominium trays and they sat there putting stuff together. I know pho restaurants do that same time but it's usually in the corner or somewhere close off.

It's been quite a long time since I was here and as I was in the neighborhood I decided to stop by again today. Remembering how good they were last time, I ordered the Oma's Frikadellen (grandma's recipe for all-beef meatballs). I like a good German meatball and these were tender and juicy. There was a choice of red cabbage or sauerkraut as a side; having confirmed they made the sauerkraut in-house themselves, had to order that because I know it's super healthy to eat. Better yet, that sauerkraut was almost perfect with a great flavor, but not too tart and just really a delicious version. Honestly I could've eaten a huge bucket load of that sauerkraut and I may buy some to go someday just to have it on hand in my refrigerator; a slight warm and it would be a wonderful side to serve guests. Dessert was a wow! I wanted to try a dessert that they made themselves and so I couldn't help but go with one of the dessert specials of the day. There were several options available not on the menu and although it was tempting to try the tiramisu or one of the three versions of crème brûlée they make, I decided to go with their homemade limoncello cake which turned out to be a delicious choice that I'm very happy about. Waiter Ty said it was one of his favorite desserts here and I could taste why -- moist cake, flavor-filled filling, whipped cream and with blueberries to decorate the plate. In fact it was so yummy that I decided that so someday soon I would order one with a couple days notice and then take it to my family's place next time I go over for dinner - what I don't know is whether I'll tell them the truth or try and pretend that I made it myself LOL :-) Update: the next day I did call to order an entire cake and it didn't last very long once the family dug in, got gobbled up because it had an intense great lemon flavor, wonderful.

It seemed to be paired with a honey mustard type dipping sauce. Not really sure. We both order crepes. One was Ham & one was Chicken. We both loved the filling but we both agreed the crepe was a little bland by itself. The balsamic on top helped round it out. I had been wanting to try this place for sometime but I guess maybe our taste buds expected something different. I know that the reviews on here are high and I still encourage everyone to come and try for themselves. I know that not everyone likes are the same and I won't say anything bad about the restaurant. Good Luck Mona' s French Cafe

One of the perks of moving to Cypress? Duck n Bao! I've passed by the Humble location dozens of…read moretimes while making a mental note to return for Peking duck, so who would have thought my entry to Duck n Bao would be via soup dumplings, a Sichuan dish, and Kung pao brussel sprouts for takeout. Not me, that's for sure, but after a long day this proved to be an incredibly welcome dinner! The soup dumplings were plump and savory. The Kung pao Brussels sprouts slightly sweet and sour, and the spicy, crispy, chicken...well it'll numb your mouth, and it will be worth it. Somehow they've found the sweet spot (not literally) by creating that classic Sichuan tongue numbing spice, without creating a spicy dish per se. Apart from the numbness, the dish reads more savory than anything else. I do wish the dumplings came with either dumpling sauce, chili crunch or both, and that the crispy spicy chicken came with something to coat the rice (it's a bit dry with steamed rice alone), but all and all, I enjoyed everything I ordered and will certainly be returning for the full dine-in experience.
