Shrimp Chow Mei Fun
Andres L.

I've ordered multiple times from here now. This isn't covering any specific order or day. I'm finally getting around to sharing a few items from the menu I've had now. I ventured out from my usual order(s) and got this Sha Cha Beef Noodle soup to see if it's any good and it's worth it! I think I've now had it at least 3 times...after all, I'm not always in the mood for soup. The bowl is large and you're going to get a lot of noodles and broth. The sauce it comes with I'd best describe as a Chinese BBQ sauce which is what makes it great. It almost sounds like it shouldn't work, but it does. Figured I'd share photos of it in case you're on the fence with it. The Shrimp chow mei fun (normal size not the large shrimp version) and the chicken chow mei fun are also solid go-to's of mine if you want to eat on the lighter side even though they're all generous portions. Since I don't have a photo of it, The chicken isn't "breaded & fried" for the chicken version. We were new to this dish when we first got it...feels like a stir fry cooked dish vs fried. It's a welcome respite. The honey chicken is solid. It's better hot and fresh vs when it's cooled down and thickened up so you might want to eat it fast or split it up with someone. It's not spicy either...and I think I got it with steamed white rice. Hope that helps!

Tempura Shrimp

*Disappointed After High Hopes* I came in excited after reading the reviews and ended up ordering more than usual. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. The sesame chicken was tough and chewy with no crunch or breading. It was completely soaked in sauce, more like sesame chicken soup. The added broccoli was rubbery and felt like a filler to reduce the amount of meat in the container. The BBQ buns were extremely dry with barely two small pieces of meat inside. They were not worth the price. I ended up dipping them in the sesame sauce just to make them somewhat enjoyable. Honestly, frozen grocery store buns are better. The shrimp tempura had no crunch at all. It was soft and mushy, and I could not tell where the shrimp ended and the breading began. It was literally just a grease sponge, completely soaked and inedible. Even the service was strange. A literal child, maybe nine years old, brought the food. That alone made the experience feel unprofessional and awkward. The place itself was not clean. Tables were sticky, the floor looked like it hadn't been swept in a while, and the bathroom was very dirty. At this point, I did not even want to try the egg roll or fried rice. I had no expectations left. The one bright spot was the crab puffs. They were crispy, flavorful, and filled with cream cheese. Easily better than most places I have tried. Spending thirty-five dollars and not even wanting to finish half the order is incredibly disappointing. I really hoped this would be my go-to Asian spot in Cinco Ranch, but sadly, I will not be returning.

General Tsao with fried rice and beef lo mein
Linda T.

Upon arrival, ambiance is laid back and in a great location that shared a giant parking lot with many other businesses (close to Target). I have been wanting to try this place for years but Chik-fil-a always get to me. Service is as good as it can get for pick up order. The food is just mediocre. I understand the pricing, especially in this area so not much complaint except... I wish the food was better to make it my to go place. Unfortunately, they did not meet expectations of an Americanized Chinese food restaurant. Fried rice that came with general tsao is extremely mushy and underwhelming. General tsao is good but no spice, despite how much dried red peppers they put in it. Beef lo mein is salty and has that Mama instant noodle flavor - not great and not what I wanted in a normal Americanized Chinese beef lo mein. For about $27, I would skip this place and try elsewhere unless I just get general tsao with no rice and make my own rice at home. There are so many great restaurants and to-go restaurants in this area so unless you don't drive and this restaurant is in walking distance to your house, I would skip and spend your money elsewhere even if you're craving Americanized Chinese food like myself.

Nice spot to get a lunch special for Chinese-American food. I got the kung pao chicken and I was impressed. It came out super hot and had the perfect spice to it. The lunch special came with a crab Rangoon and a hot and sour soup which were both great. The food came out fast too. I'd come back.

absoulety great. as soon as i walked in the building i was greeted by worker named dallan. The food. the food took me back to my days in china.. like i was right at home.. ever since i was a child i fell in love with my foods culture... back to yangzhou i went.. abandoned by my own mother in the villages. cw asian cafe i reminisced those days i suffered thus, bringing me closure and goodness. The atmosphere was great!

Honey Shrimp. Yep in the car. Couldn't wait haha
Mynika C.

We love Ms. Berry! I'll start there. We've been frequenting this place since I discovered it on Yelp. Apologizes for my very late review. CW Asian Dishes and Tea Lounge is amazing to say the least. We have found such comfort and delight in the food, the drinks, and the service! The location is perfect and everything is always piping hot and fresh. Since I only eat seafood, I noticed that there was a honey chicken dish but not shrimp so I requested the same thing for a shrimp order and Ms. Berry made it happen right away! Very grateful for this. I have been here for lunch and dinner and every visit is exceptional. Crab puffs, honey sesame shrimp, vegetable rolls, sweet & sour chicken (for mama), fried rice, shrimp fried rice, mojitos- everything is delicious! If you order enough mojitos or other drinks you get a stamp card and on the 10th stamp, I believe you get a free drink. Check them out and definitely say hi to Ms. Berry.

Orange chicken lunch special
Lizzie H.

So glad I found this place! Their lunch special is an amazing deal. It's a very large portion also. The orange chicken is delicious as they use only white meat. The sea salt foam matcha is a very very good drink. The staff is just so extremely friendly. I love this place!

BBQ Bun Hong Kong Style Pork Shumai S10. Spicy Mayo Shrimp Fruity Mojito

Went for the first time today and it was great! Been wanting to go here for a while and today I stopped by with my boyfriend. We both loved the small space and service. Food was great too, definitely coming back. This is probably one of our new go to places for something cheap and quick!

Cw you later

Wanpo Tea Shop

After making their hyped debut nearly 2 years ago, Wanpo Tea Shop has remained one of my favorite…read morestops in Katy Asian Town (KAT). Their line of beverages have hit the spot in a way where I can laud them for their consistency in both customer service and selection of drinks. Their selection of drinks are broken down in milk tea, fruit tea, latte, "pure" tea, traditional, and cheese. Toppings include aiyu, grass, red bean, tapioca, pearl, and combined boba with sugar level adjustments. The standouts in each section for me are as follows: (pure) jinxuan oolong, kumquat lemon tea (fruit), winter melon lemonade (traditional), yamamasa koyamaen's matcha (latte), and their regular wanpo milk tea. If I'm feeling really indulgent, I'll get a cheese cream oreo but that's a rare occasion. They've done a good job of opening up the interior space and the layout is ideal for groups and solo action. This is likely to accommodate lines (if any) throughout the week. The illuminated tea areas is a nice decorative touch, There are some table + board games and the place is really pretty during the daytime when the natural light kicks in. WiFi is also on point. The staff is young, friendly, and mostly bilingual in Mandarin + English. Prices are the standard $5-7 per drink, and parking is always abundant in this part of KAT. Given Wanpo's Taiwanese roots and celebrated global brand, it only legitimizes (and further saturates) the greater Houston tea scene.

I had a very...weird experience at Wanpo. I ordered a Sugarcane Lemonade and when I tasted it, it…read moredidn't taste like Sugarcane, just straight lemon. Wanting to give Wanpo the benefit of the doubt, I asked if it could be remade because it was a $8 drink. The worker, whose name I believe is Eric, SNIFFED my drink through the straw and said that it's Sugarcane and gave it back to me.....He then said he wouldn't remake it because it smells like it...Huh..? I walked out in shock because, what? Out of all the boba spots that I have been to, never has anyone smelled my drink. In fact, I used to work at a boba shop and never has it occurred to me to smell a drink and not remake it for a customer. Like, I don't know what methods you use to confirm ingredients but you couldn't even take the drink to the back to smell it? You did it in front of my face? I don't ever ask for drinks to be remade unless it tastes nothing like I ordered, I just go about and let it be but this genuinely appalled me. I go to Wanpo and I enjoy their Mango Sago drink but this experience has led me to never come back because... are you serious?

Lovely ambiance where I feel like I was transported into an old school Chinese gambling room in…read moreShanghai but with modern claw machines on the other side. Comfortable cushioned chairs/bench, it's actually not just for looks. Good amount of seating area, though, they could have added maybe 1 more. I got a Signature Black Tea Egg Waffle and House Blend Milk Tea with Yin-Yang Jelly. Though, the house blend milk tea was delicious, I specifically asked multiple of times if there's any tree-nuts, such as almond milk, because someone in my group has a severe tree-nut allergy. I have mentioned it many times, including what their egg waffle mix has (such as almond flours and what not). I was told the waffle was good to go but nothing about their yin-yang jelly. The young server was friendly but I don't think he realized the importance of someone not consuming tree-nuts if they have a tree-nut allergy. Luckily, we double checked with someone else after I questioned the drink and luckily the person who has a tree-nut allergy didn't try any of the drink. So, if you or someone in your group has a tree-nut allergy... possibly avoid this place or get a drink somewhere else. There's a big chance of cross-contamination even if the person who took your order knows the severity of it. Overall, it's a good bubble-tea IF AND ONLY IF THERE'S NO ONE IN YOUR GROUP WITH A TREE-NUT ALLERGY. Tea, at 20% sugar level was sweet enough and delicious without artificial taste. I can actually taste the tea and milk. Their Signature Black Tea Egg Waffle is cute in 3 shapes of cranes. The wing parts are nice and crispy but the center of the body is dry. There's no bounce to it. It's pretty thick and heavy. I would skip their cranes and just get drinks. Again, please beware if you or anyone has a tree-nut allergy.

They're known for their jelly (no gelatin) which was yummy. I wish the drinks were creamier and less milky but still enjoyed their house milk tea and fruit tea.

There were people hanging out and playing cards. The family was clean as well. Lots of seating too for a small space. We ordered a signature milk tea-large with normal (100%) sugar-with black boba. Probably one of the best ones I have had yet. We were fighting over it . I ordered a grapefruit green tea with normal (100%) sugar as well. If you ever had a brûlée grapefruit before this was exactly it! I only get those on cruises so ecstatic to find this drink! Amazing. I appreciate having sugar options ex: 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%.

I like what I like, just as others like what they like. So I wasn't sure what I was going to get stuck with. So on the way to the outskirts of Katy, we stopped in at Ding Tea. Let me tell you how busy this area was on a beautiful Sunday before lunar New Year. There wasn't a single parking space to be had in three different lots. There was traffic everywhere in people. Do not drive well when they're looking for a parking spot. People just stopped in the middle of the parking lot and didn't move. Waiting for someone to walk out of a building. Super annoying. Luckily, Ding Tea is located behind lot of the larger restaurants and the golf course and other super busy areas. There was a parking spot waiting for me out front and it was easy to get in and out. We ended up getting a tea to share, and two to go with us to the party. We also got an order of the popcorn chicken. I wish they would have it a little bit spicier on its own, without having to dip it into things. A little seasoning goes a long way! The staff were also super nowledgeable about the menu, courteous, and efficient. Will definitely be back, but not on lunar new year. So busy!!
