    Lobster Noodles
    Rachel W.

    Fung's Kitchen is a Houston staple that always impresses. The food here is consistently great, with quality service. They've done a good job of maintaining the space over the years as well, making sure to renovate. Even though I've been here so many times over the course of my life, this is the first time I get to write a review! I only remembered to take pictures of a few dishes that we got - beyond that I was too occupied with enjoying the food. The steamed shrimp were amazing! So sweet, easy to peel, and they provide gloves and wet wipes! The lobster noodles were also fantastic with the noodles absorbing so much flavor. Not pictured were the Peking Pork Ribs which were phenomenal! Crispy on the outside, flavorful, sweet, and tender. I was eating that dish like candy. Throughout the meal, our plates were exchanged for new ones, which was super helpful in starting clean again. The price point at Fung's may be more expensive than other Chinese restaurants, but this is definitely an elevated dining experience with consistently high quality food and presentation!

    All dim sum was good but could have been hot. Even the Congee wasn't all that hot Lots of carts rolling until 3pm so we rushed over Service was impressive because it didn't matter who was there, and there were lots of staff, when I needed something they immediately delivered. Never really had a designated server but there were enough staff around to take care of us. They have several items we can't get anywhere in San Antonio or even some cities so we are happy they offer it here and it is very well done. Parking lot big, gps kinda messed up so careful. I reported it but who knows.... Just keep eyes open for their big sign

    Came here with family on a Saturday for dinner, and it was a great experience overall. The inside was very clean and nicely decorated, which made it feel comfortable and welcoming. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything came out surprisingly quickly. All of the food was delicious and authentic. They are known for their seafood dishes, and everything was packed with flavor. Definitely did not disappoint! The servers were very attentive and did a great job combining dishes as new ones came out, making sharing easy and seamless. It was pretty busy while we were there, but we never had to wait for anything. Overall, a really smooth and enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely be coming back!

    My family and I heard a lot of hype about Fung's Kitchen. So while we were on our Houston trip, we decided to check it out for the first time. To keep it short... it was WORTH the hype!! We got there a little early before they opened and it's a good thing we did that because there was already a line. But it went by fast and we got to our table at a timely manner. The inside looked really nice and spacious. The service was really nice and quick. We just got the typical dim sum dishes from the push carts, but everything tasted really good! I especially loved the steamed egg custard buns. It was so juicy and fresh. With 2 people dining, our total came out to $62.25 which isn't too bad considering the quality of our food and what we ordered. The parking can get really packed fast so just be mindful of that. Overall, Fung's Kitchen is a must try dim sum spot in Houston!

    Jalapeño Grouper

    Food: 4.2/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Overall: 4.4/5 Came here for a large family gathering dinner on a Friday and was accommodated two large tables (note that larger groups that require 3 or more tables require increased amounts of food ordered). Service was relatively fast, though the restaurant on this Friday night in particular was not crowded relative to what it usually is. I would recommend for weekends to make sure a table is reserved and try not to go during main eating hours since the parking lot is usually very full. My family ordered lots of dishes, but my personal favorites of the many we ordered were the Peking Duck (10/10 every time, must try whenever you come here) and the lightly battered jalapeño grouper (incredibly clean and easy to eat, balances with the much heavier items). These two dishes really stood out in the selection we had and are good every time we have been here. There were a few of the dishes that I thought weren't the greatest. Firstly, the lobster we had ordered was a tough and very fishy, making it hard to eat (I would likely order it in the sauce and with noodles, rather than the drier version). The pork belly was a little too heavy on the fat/meat ratio and left a very oily taste in my mouth. The jasmine tea, which I usually use to wash everything down, was kind of diluted and tasted like sink water. These dishes were not the norm for this restaurant's quality, but with so many different options, there were bound to be weaker points in the menu. I'm always excited to eat at Fung's Kitchen, and with some amazing options, it provides a very elevated selection of foods that always impress me. While there's definitely weaknesses in some of their dishes for me, this place is definitely worth a visit!

    Pork Hocks

    I've been here a few times for dim sum and for a standard chinese dinner. While not the best, this is a solid dim sum place that does it via push-cart style where it's either in a display case or a metal cart. All the dim sum favorites are here with the turnip cakes, the panfried pork dumplings, shu-mai, shrimp dumplings, tofu skins, rice noodle wraps, and spicy duck skins among the favorites for me. They also have the tasty salt and pepper wings, crispy cauliflower, and the chinese broccoli in oyster sauce which are shareable favorites that are excellent alternatives for those who don't like dim sum (although if you're not a dim sum fan, GTFO of my table). Dim sum is only available during lunch from 11-3. So if you get here afterwards, the menu is more traditional upscale chinese dishes. But that includes some exotic dishes such as the lobster tower (I haven't had this yet but i will!). Some of the dishes I've tasted that are delicious are the singapore noodle stir fry, the crispy frog legs, and the cashew scallops w/ veggies. Sometimes they'll have pork hocks although those were a bit salty for me; but if that's your thing, have it. The decor of the restaurant gives Hong Kong/Chinese blessings with the red curtains and golden perched statues adorning the entrance area. The servers move quickly and communicate in English but you best be getting here with someone who speaks Chinese as you'll get the best recommendations and items that could potentially be off the menu! Like a secret society! Anyways, I'm always down to come here for dim sum lunch. And maybe for dinner if anyone wants to conquer that lobster tower with me!

    Wow, Fung's Kitchen is over the top! Let me tell you about what makes Fung's kitchen second to none in Houston. We had a sort of family reunion in Houston and wanted some really good Chinese food. We reserved a room for our huge party of 19. You have to drop at least 3G on a room and boy was it worth it. I can't remember the last time I had such amazing food. The seafood is so fresh! You pick your lobster (we chose and 8lb behemoth) out of the tank. And they will cook it several different ways, using everything from head to tail and presenting it in such artistic fashion that you almost don't want to eat it. We had lobster sashimi, ginger scallion lobster, lobster fried rice, on and on. We also had black bean clams, fish maw soup, Dungeness crab, Peking duck, sizzling beef, some greens.....and I can't even remember all the dishes we had but everything was spectacular. I have to say, the service was top notch and the staff was very accommodating as we had small children and a baby and they had to bring in a little kiddie table for us to accommodate our large party. Kudos to Dragon Ho, the operations manager who was such a kind and funny host. He made sure everything was cooked to perfection. We feasted like kings! The pics speak for themselves!

    Haven't been back for a while and the food was still food as usual. Prices are definitely over priced but the food and services were good.

    Steamed Sole Fish
    Cheryl G.

    I've driven past Fung's Kitchen for years and never ate here. My sister booked a reservation for us for our family Chinese New Year celebration dinner here tonight. The interior of the restaurant was very nice and remodeled. The inside of the restaurant was spacious with lots of tables. It was pretty busy this evening, but it didn't feel cramped at all. The moment we walked through the door we were greeted promptly. We had two big tables for the 16 of us. The food was good and the service was great! We ordered several dishes including whole steamed sole fish. It was a pretty good size fish and the quality was so fresh and steamed perfect. As I've said before, It's extremely unusual to go to an Asian restaurant that has good food and service especially with a big group! We'll definitely be back!

    Fried taro puff (Dim Sum)
    Mimi T.

    My friends and I came for dim sum on a Saturday around 10:15 am to get good parking and seating. There was already a line forming by the time doors open at 10:30 am. The manager was very welcoming and thanked us for coming. Our server was attentive and the dim sum carts immediately came rolling out. They had all the classics like shumai, har gow, cheung fun (rice noodles with shrimp), char siu bao (bbq pork buns), gailan (Chinese broccoli), fried taro puffs and chicken feet. There are definitely lots of dim sum options! The food came out warm and fresh. My favs were the shumai and fried taro puffs. We ended our meal with hot tea. By the time we left after 1.5 hr, the parking lot was packed with cars circling so I highly recommend coming little before opening to avoid the crowd rush.

    Make sure to get the crispy roasted duck!! Absolutely delicious and probably the best roasted duck I have had. The skin was super crispy and the pieces were meaty. We got half order of the duck which was $24, but should have just gotten the whole duck for $45! Other items were really good too! Only thing was the quail was a bit dry. Lots of people ordered lobsters so will have to give this a try next time we are there! Clean and nicely decorated. Service was okay. The waiters kept rushing us to order, but we were still deciding on what we wanted. There were so many good options to choose from so we wanted to spend a bit of time deciding.

    Came back to try the dimsum. Everything you need for a dimsum brunch!! Carts but also a hot bar, and they also take dinner menu requests. The fried donuts are so good.

    Fung's is a Houston staple! I've only ever came here for dim sum twice. There's a ridiculously long wait time and a longer line out the door. Once all the parking spots fill up, you have no choice but to valet. The restaurant has pretty much all your basic dim sum available. My favorite specifically from here are the lotus wrapped sticky rice filled with meat and the salted egg yolk custard buns! I think there are better dim sum places in the Bellaire area but this place is always poppin! There are so many tables and they're all filled up with people so it gets pretty loud.

We came with a group of 18 people, and the bill ended up being around $972. Unfortunately, most of the dishes were more impressive visually than flavor-wise. The colorful green fried rice looked unique, but honestly just tasted like regular fried rice. The green beans were overcooked, so they lost the crunch and sweetness that usually make that dish enjoyable. The green curry was extremely spicy, but outside of the heat, it wasn't very memorable. The shaking beef dish looked amazing presentation-wise, but the sauce was too sweet for a savory dish, and the crispy rice pairing just didn't work well for me. I initially thought the duck dish was Peking duck, but it was actually the Jasmine Tea Smoked Duck. Even so, everyone at my table agreed we still preferred the traditional Peking duck style. The duck itself lacked flavor for us, and the skin was soft instead of having the crisp texture we were hoping for. The only dishes I genuinely enjoyed were the soup dumplings, cucumber salad, and fried dumplings. Most of the other dishes at the table were barely touched. If you're looking for colorful, aesthetically pleasing food and great presentation, you may enjoy this place. But if flavor is your main priority, this spot just wasn't for me personally.

Sadly, it seems like those days are long gone as the latter is on a downhill slope. Has ownership changed? (#1) I'm not sure, but so much else has. There's no tea offered, but bottled water. Service and the kitchen staff is a mess where it's most evident during their busiest hours. At one point, Cantonese was spoken but it also seems that's no longer the case. Previously the food was passable, but now it's near abysmal. Siu mai was hearty, but fairly bland. The same applies to their spare ribs (排骨), beef balls (牛肉球), and steamed glutinous rice in leaf (糯米雞). I felt their custard buns (奶黃包), fried stuffed crab claw (釀蟹鉗), fried glutinous dumpling (鹹水角) and the turnip cake (蘿蔔糕) were dried out. While the shrimp dumplings (蝦餃) and rice rolls (腸粉) mostly passed the test, it needed lots of soy sauce + condiments to be worth it. The only winner was their beef chow fun (乾炒牛河), where the beef and ho fun noodles were tender, while also being adequately greasy. The bonus bits of fried egg within were a nice surprise. While the prices range from $3.75-$9.70, a majority of it will average out to be $5-6 a dish. This isn't a terrible deal per se, especially during these times. However, it is a big price to pay for service issues and sub-par quality dim sum. While I'm hopeful that they'll rebound and I hope the Joy returns, but I don't think I will. __________ (#1) FZ / FJ peeps, where ya at?

The sweet & sour was perfect lightly battered and crispy. The hot & sour could've been a bit more sour but had a small kick to it. It was perfect for my parents, but my husband and I had to add some chili oil & soy sauce for more flavor. The quality of the food 9/10, the price was a bit on the pricey side for the portions of the dishes. The hot & sour soup was $17! It wasn't anything special about it. I thought it was a bit steep for a family size, but I guess good service made up for it. I'm not sure if they were offering Chinese New Year specials, but within an hour there were several big parties with reservations. I recommend this place for authentic Cantonese Chinese food. It's rare to find good food and good service!

    Look no further for authenticity, flavor, and complexity in Chinese cooking near the med center!…read more Though we opted for more "simple" dishes during this experience, you can judge a place by if they can do their simple dishes well. The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

    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.
