Service - 10 Always fast and friendly Sweet and sour pork - 6 Love the crispy batter but the pork was dry and overcooked Egg roll - 6 used to be better Veggie fried rice - 8 very good Overall- 7.5 read more

The Worst I have every had besides 1960. Locatin about 8 years ago Every thing was over cooked like a rock Rice even over cooked Dumpling were cold Ribs like a rock G I joe taste crapy The Chinese Food i ever Had Would have given u a read more

I ordered takeout from here and I was incredibly disappointed. I ordered this sweet-and-sour pork and it came with fried rice, eggrolls, and hot and sour soup. The eggrolls were great and so is the hot and sour soup, really good. The major complaint I have is it the sweet-and-sour pork was overcooked and had hard pieces of pork. I also didn't get vegetables in my sauce that I asked for on the side, which they did put it on the side, but I'm used to having the pineapple and the bell pepper in my sauce. None of that. For the price that I paid, almost $30, the main course should've been much, much better. I also got no plasticware, which I asked for. No napkins. Just super disappointing for the price. read more

Whenever I see egg foo yong on the menu, I order it. I was very disappointed with their egg foo young. It comes with a light brown gravy that's tasteless and doesn't go with egg foo Young, the egg foo young itself was bland. There aren't too many choices for Chinese restaurants in Oak Forest Garden Oaks. The eggrolls were bland. The owner is nice. The staff are nice. But I can't hope to try something new and it'll be good. I won't be back. Spent almost $30 including a tip and ended up eating one patty and throwing the rest of it away. Threw away one of the eggrolls. read more

Sometimes you want cheap american chinese food which has typical grease, MSG, soy sauce, oil, and corn starch. You can tell this place does that well based on their menu and easiness of ordering. Portions are large and cheap. I usually do doordash for this when I'm looking for cheap dining options and I'm too lazy to drive out and pick it up myself. I go with the egg rolls, chicken wings, combo lo-mein, and kung pao items whenever I order. I've heard their fried rice is also a treasure as well, nothing crazy but has that greasy flavor that cheap chinese places have that's so hard to replicate. So that'll be my next guilty pleasure when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to drive anywhere. The wings are quite large and crispy. Egg rolls are crispy and greasy. The lo-mein tastes like any chinese lo mein you'd get from one of those cheap buffet places: oily noodles with flavors of soy sauce, chinese 5-spice, and some chili oil mixed in. And you know what to expect from kung pao items with the celery and cashews mixed in with the chicken or shrimp, depending what protein you go with. Not something I typically go for but for cheap american chinese eats that have large portions and are delivered quickly, it satisfies that craving when in the mood for it. read more

Never eat it again. I don't know what it was, but it wasn't good. It probably was rat. Meat was disgusting. It didn't smell like pork. It had a very unusual smell. Pork is not grounded like hamburger meat and it was very very gross. read more

Eastern Chinese Restaurant - I ordered from this eastern Chinese restaurant. I ordered me pork, egg, foo, young and pork fried rice. It was no chicken bone that - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great food fast at an amazing price. Eastern has served the neighborhood for 40 years I know of, nice people.

Need a quick stop for a lunch break? Want to bring a colleague or friend for a quick dinner and don't wanna spend too much? This is the place for you! I've been coming here since I was a kid and have always loved all the Chinese food this place has to offer. Quaint little Chinese place in the heart of Oak Forest. I usually get the shrimp fried rice as it is a good meal and enough to fill me up for the day. The lunch special is a little bit of a smaller portion, but it does make for a nice middle of the day meal. I also like the egg rolls and the soup that comes with it; the egg drop soup happens to be my favorite here. There's also other things such as the Mongolian beef, spicy dishes, shrimp with mixed vegetables, chicken dishes, and the list goes on. You have the choice between steamed and fried rice. And the staff here is very good on recommending anything you are curious about. They'll also keep your water or soda glasses full! Go try it out, you'll be impressed! read more

Oh jeez Louise! Why do I have to constantly write a small chapter to leave a review? The service is good. The food is good. What the hell else do you need. Most of us aren't food critics. Hot and sour soup is fabulous. read more

Try chicken lo mein spicy. 1.5 - Chicken, Cashew, Spicy. No celery, no chive, no onion (forgot to do this) 3.9 - Chicken, Kung Pao, Spicy. No green onion, no white onion. Don't bother adding snow peas. 3.5 - Chicken Lo Mein. No cabbage, no green onion, no white onion. 2.8 - Egg roll 3.0 - Rice, Fried. read more

Hands down best chicken fried rice I've had here in Houston. Second favorite of all time. Can't beat their prices either. Their delivery range is little further than most restaurants and food is still steaming hot after 15-20 minutes! Yum yum, I need fried rice in my tum! We've also tried most of their soups, pork lo mein, chicken lo mein, egg foo young, sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, crab rangoons and egg rolls. Soups are decent, lo meins are in my top 3. Egg rolls not as good as jack in the box, yes I said what I said lol. Don't judge my taste buds, jk. I recommend eastern Chinese though for real! Egg foo young prices went way up, I'm sure we all know why but time to bring them back down cause this is my second favorite item from them we've tried. read more

The Eastern is the go to place for consistently good Chinese food near 34th St and Shepherd. Their Won Ton soup is always good and so is the cashew chicken, which I prefer to ask them to make them spicy. Their Won Ton staff is always nice and the searing is comfortable. read more

Decent place . Food was fresh and tasty and orders did not take a long time. I would recommend it.

Our server was nice. The food was so so. It definitely wasn't the best I've had. I won't go back.

I haven't been here since I was a kid. I remember coming here with my mother. Brought back good memories. The Lo mein was delicious wish I tried the egg drop soup but next time. Service was fast and attentive which was a plus. I will be back with my teens who love Chinese food and make new memories with them . read more

Eastern Chinese Restaurant - Lo mein speacial, General Tso's Chicken Special and sorry I was left one Cheese Crab. - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Barf! The most digesting Chinese food I've ever had. The general chicken is hands down the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth. The egg rolls were rotten and tasted like expired chicken. Do yourself a favor and steer clear!! read more

Food for people that are allergic to Asian foods. Its everything you would expect in the tv show Wonder years, and not a bit more. The rice is Uncle ben's inspired, the selection is as authentic as Taco Bell, and the service is as un pampered as a child that came up in a soviet labor camp. No clue how they survived this long, says more about the neighborhood than the restaurant it's self. You should strive to do better. read more

Don't let the unassuming exterior of the building turn you off. We dined in at Eastern Chinese Restaurant and couldn't be happier to have found this place. The woman at the front desk was immediately welcoming and gave us our choice of open booths. The waiter took our drink order and came back pretty quickly to take the rest of our order. We tried the egg rolls and cheese crab as appetizers, both of which hit the spot. I probably could've filled up on just those. Fair warning, if you're used to low-sodium soy sauce, I couldn't see any on any tables, so maybe bring your own or ask the staff if you prefer less salt. I dipped both egg roll and cheese crab wontons in sweet and sour sauce instead. Everything tasted freshly fried. The egg roll filling was a good mix of meat and vegetables. The cheese crab was more cheese than crab, but I wasn't upset because who doesn't like melty cream cheese in a crispy wrapper? For dinner, we tried the sweet and sour chicken and kung po chicken. These orders were HUGE. Next time my fiancé and I will definitely split something or get the dinner order that comes with soup, rice (I think?), and an egg roll. The sweet and sour chicken was perfectly puffy fried and doused in plenty of sauce. The kung po chicken is beautifully spicy with a lot of peanuts and green onion. I don't know if steamed rice comes with the entrees because we asked for some, so be sure to ask just in case. At the end, we had to take to go boxes since each order was so much food. It kept well as leftovers today and my office mates were jealous from the smell. The entire time we were at the restaurant, the dining room had just a few tables filled, but to-go orders were being picked up every few minutes. Despite the bustle of the pickups, the staff was very kind and prompt to get anything we needed. I'm so glad we found this place to go to on nights we don't want to cook or just need a big plate of comfort food! read more

Felt this place was better than 3.5/5 stars! The waitress was eager to keep my iced tea topped-off, and the dinner plate was a hearty portion. Additionally, the egg roll was a true egg roll; one that was thick and delicious. As I recall, the dinner deals of soup, egg roll, and entree were between $7.50-$7.85. The can of soda and ice tea were $1.35 each. The crab cheese wonton appetizers were wonderful, and cost around $4.25. Looking back, I wouldn't have gotten the (shared) appetizer, since the dinner deal was literally a meal in itself; A meal that I wasn't able to finish, and had to get part of it, to-go. All around better than expected here! read more

Used to be really bad. Went back after a 10 year absence. It was actually pretty good. Will give it another try

Ok I just discovered this place! It's delicious. I went in by myself for a lunch special pepper steak with hot and sour soup. It came with an egg roll and fried rice. All together it was less than $10 and super fast service. I will definitely be back. I want to try some of the breaded chicken dishes. Those are always better fresh out of the kitchen. Super excited about discovering this place!! read more

So horrible. The General Tso's chicken was inedible. Fried rice was tasteless. The egg rolls were gross too. Never again.

Very fresh selection , yummy sushi options ,and a lot of food choices !customer service is excellent.

Haven't been back in years since a roach crawled across my table as I ate my lunch. Disgusting. Would give ZERO stars if I could.

Best Chinese cold in Houston. Or at least best fried rice in Houston! Affordable with good portion sizes

I don't want to tell anyone about this restaurant because I want it to stay the same perfect way. Quiet, peaceful, feels like eating on an airplane when you dine-in... Which is what I recommend. Service is efficient and servers are friendly and responsive. Dish after dish after dish it seems but I never leave feeling stuffed. Recommended meal: Iced tea + Hot and sour soup + spring roll/egg roll + steamed rice + sesame chicken I would recommend this restaurant for a quiet meal with a loved one or two. Take out is good too, but I'm telling you dine-in with a lover and book is perfection. read more

I was searching for 1960s vintage American Chinese cuisine and found it here. Beef chow mein, moo goo gai pan, and egg fu young complete with brown sauce. I found it here and much to my delight, everything tasted good, seemed freshly prepared, and was a great value. Do not be intimated by the scary looking sign out front. It too looks to be from the 1960s but the food is spot on. read more

Decent Chinese food for the American palate. Nothing fancy or pretentious. Hostess/cashier is nice & pleasant. I mostly get my food to go and it is always hot and plentiful. Been supporting this business for years. Unfortunately the decor hasn't changed either. Give them a try. I hope you will like it. read more

GARBAGE GARBAGE GARBAGE. EDIT: This piece of garbage's name is Ken. This place is absolute garbage. Food is sub par but the icing on the cake is the garbage they hire. My mother in law went there to have lunch and was treated horribly. Service was slow, she had to ask for water repeatedly, and was disrespected. The sweet lady she is, she STILL left this guy a top. Since it was not the tip that this guy expected he chased after them to their car, had the audacity to ask where his tip was, and then proceeded to curse at her and her sister. I can't believe someone would have the guts to do this. All my MIL can tell me is he was a younger Asian guy and they were there around 2PM today. If you are reading this I dare you to speak to me like that. If the owners are reading this I expect to be contacted immediately. No one should EVER be chased out to their car and then a tip demanded ESPECIALLY if it wasn't earned. read more

The food is okay for what you pay for as it's a pretty affordable Chinese food restaurant. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken from the lunch menu. The portion of the chicken was decent and so was the fried rice. However, the chicken had a little too much fat for my liking and the fried rice was slightly too salty. That aside, they had a steady stream of customers coming and going, and it seems like they have regulars because I overheard the hostess asking a couple if they'd like their usual table. read more
