    No apology from them at all. The attitude while you dropped the ball on my order. she must have thought that i pay for the shit she want to give. i understand mistakes happens i also understand about corrections and room to grow. but when you add additional protein to my order that i specifically ask you NOT TO DO. thats a huge mistake. no pork. no chicken. no beef. shrimp only. yet you gave me a plate full of clucking chicken. i was just going to eat around it but it was more and more that became unbearable that i called to report. she told me that shell just give shrimp fried rice ignoring my report. the dish was not the problem. if it was shrimp only yet again. here she go giving me what she wants. cool i comply and return to the place burning more gas and time at s place that gives no military discount. here we go. i enter with the food in bag she open it and claim i are half. girl you're not serious. so your first observation was what i ate instead of your mistake. great. give me back my money. she proceeds to tell me no no they making the fried rice. no no. GIVE. ME. BACK. MY. MONEY. HOW TF YOURE GOING TO HAVE AN ATTITUDE ON THE PHONE. THEN IN PERSON. YOU'RE INSANE. NEXT THE GENTLEMAN WHO TOLD THEM NO NO PORK NO BEEF. IGNORED ME when I ASKED FOR HER NAME. i really gave this place a second try. but this place was really trying me.

    The mix noodle was awesome! Big portion and lots of meats.  It had chicken, beef and shrimp with a zesty taste. Noodles were on point.

    The owner or manager could be a little nicer he seems upset all the time. The food was fairly tasty great portions. The ambiance in the restaurant was calm when we came which allowed us to have a nice quiet dinner.

    This location is a little out-of-the-way from my normal routine, but I've had a reason to be over in this neighborhood a few times lately. I thought I would stop in for a Saturday afternoon lunch. I was the only customer in the dining room. I would imagine they probably get busier later in the day. The owner and staff are very friendly. The portions were huge. And I ended up taking home half of my Shrimp Egg Fu Young. I didn't eat breakfast, I guess I was craving Chinese brunch. I've never had egg foo young prepared this way. Basically, the approach was plain egg patties, with a vegetable and shrimp gravy poured on top. As opposed to having the vegetables and meat in the patties. The cup of hot and sour soup was actually a fairly sizable bowl. This is basic Chinese restaurant fare. If there is a Sysco-style Asian restaurant food distributor, then this food tasted like it came off their inventory. Not bad just nothing special or interesting. I would not go out of my way to eat here again. And there are other Chinese restaurants close to my own home that are better.

    They recently added dim sum to their menu! We also ordered pork fried rice, they do not skimp on the pork! We will be back!

    Hot and sour soup
    Medina K.

    Good good. We usually order to go. This last time we ordered, all I wanted was soup so I ordered the hot and sour soup... that was a mistake for me, it was BEYOND salty for me and I was unable to eat it after one spoonful. I would not recommend that soup. Besides that we have ordered beef and broccoli and pepper steak with fried rice and those have been good and tasty.

    You people are so money hungry lmfao and rude to my family who still give you business. Well don't be surprised if I call the health department on the restaurant because let's be honest I don't think it's healthy that it smells like mold in that building and the way you have the windows covered with tables isn't safe at all in case of a fire .

    Owner is hilarious..."What type of rice do you want?"...Me:"Ummmmm not sure, doesn't matter"...Owner:"Well black people usually get the fried rice!"....LOL I can't even be mad at him. Needless to say, I got the fried rice lol with Empress Chicken and an egg roll. Food came out really quick and was fresh. I can see myself returning....

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

The duck is roasted for hours, so the skin comes out nice and crispy without being too greasy. I also like that the remaining duck is made into a soup afterward.

When we finally got seated we weren't asked What would you like to drink or this is our drink menu. It was-Water,right?right?Ok brb. So we had water just like the rest of the people in there. Also weird how they don't have any drinks on the menu or let you know about options. Could I have asked for something else? Sure but again waitresses were just all over the place it was crazy. When we ordered and others food was coming out we realized what big portions they give you. BTW just 'cus it's big portions doesn't mean This food is about to be the best Ive ever had. The food- We got some shrimp plate and we were told it was spicy because it has peppers and peppercorns which would numb your tongue.It was just basic shrimp dish. Only good or cool part of it was eating lotus root which Ive never had before. We also ordered the "special" house beef noodles and I don't see the hype or why they're so special. The only crazy part was the noodles length. Which honestly made it hard to eat. We ordered the duck which came with the soup. The soup was made from scraps. I think if they had added more duck and not just scraps it would be my fav thing of everything we ordered. Will say it tasted like chicken soup. For the duck. It wasn't as crispy as people made it seem to be. I expect idk a more gamey flavor to it and all I kept saying is-This taste like pork carnitas. Idk why we got treated better than the table behind us. We asked for to go just like they did but they just gave them their to-go plates like Here ya go and they put all of our food in our to-go for us. Would I go back? Its one of those you say- Ok I've had it,had the duck,don't get the hype but ok not worth coming back again for more.

Dry Fried Green Beans 5/5- these are the best green beans I have had in my life! I am not exaggerating like I will be thinking about these green beans all week. Do not hesitate to try these. Perfectly salty and good amount of crunch still left. The flavors they used are just perfect. Colorful Beef 4/5- The texture of the beef was so tender and not chewy at all like other places. The flavor was bright and the bell peppers were cooked through well. The issue I had with this dish was the sichuan peppercorns. I was just eating and not really looking at it super closely so I got a mouth full of these peppercorns and wow it was actually horrible. Just beware because the texture of these things are god awful and I think that they should be taken out like how a bay leaf is removed before serving. It was just really intense and it almost ruined the dish for me honestly. Other than that a great dish. My mouth was so numb but worth it. Dandan noodles 2/5- This was my first time trying this dish anywhere and I did not really enjoy it at all. The sesame flavor was really strong and it wasn't really salted at all. Very strange flavor. I will not order this again, however I do believe that the execution on this dish is great. There was a lot of sauce and the noodles were cooked well. I just really wish I liked the flavor of this dish and that's a personal problem. This dish also made my mouth numb but the flavor did not make it worth it. I wanted to like these so badly but I just couldn't do it. I will be back!

We ordered quite a bit of food, and everything came out quickly. The staff were attentive and friendly, and overall, the food was decent. My favorite dish was the Chicken Steamed Dumplings. I usually prefer pork dumplings, but these were surprisingly tasty. The wrappers were on the thicker side, which I personally enjoy, the filling was moist, and the sauce was packed with flavor. I also ordered the Beef Noodle Soup. The portion of noodles and beef was generous, but I thought the broth lacked depth and had far too much chili oil. Instead of providing a pleasant spice, the excess oil left a greasy coating in my throat that actually made me cough. The other dishes were less impressive. The Pork Bao tasted like they had been frozen and reheated, with slightly soggy, overcooked buns and a filling that lacked flavor. The Egg Rolls were also extremely small and had that same frozen, store-bought quality. Overall, the service was great and there were a few solid dishes, especially the chicken dumplings, but too many of the items tasted like frozen or pre-prepared food. I would come back for the dumplings, but I would probably skip most of the other dishes.

The batter was good and I really enjoyed the peppers and onions that accompanied the dish. I think a dipping sauce would have helped. My friend enjoyed the Fried Beef. They have quite a few locations around town if you don't want to venture into the downtown area. If you're near the Theater District, Cooking Girl is a great dining option.
