I love shining a spotlight on small mom-and-pop restaurants and businesses, and recently, I finally decided to check out a spot I've passed by a few times. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance that instantly made me feel at home like I was stepping into a familiar place, even though it was my first visit. The customer service was good, and the prices felt like a breath of fresh air in today's economy. The food? Delicious and fresh! My only slight drawback was the portion size--it left me wanting more. If you're craving authentic, high-quality Chinese food at a good price, come try Hoi Yin in Spring. You won't regret it! read more

Would have given it 2 stars, but there was a hair in my egg roll. Food is not good, not even for cheap Chinese food. Sweet and sour chicken tasted like a microwaved frozen McDonald's chicken nugget. There was onion skin in my peppered steak, which tasted like it was flavored with soy sauce only. Workers were unfriendly. $1 service fee for ordering online. I will not be going again. read more

On March 1 2025 I place an online order went to pick up my order nice older lady cleaning the silverware by hand up front unsure why. Informed her I had place an order online gave her my order number and she informed me that I didn't have an order wrong place. Took out my phone and let her see my order with the company name on there. She said sorry your order is right here. I was standing in front of my order the whole time. FOOD WASN'T ALL THAT GREAT my daughter ordered the orange chicken which didn't look like orange chicken trust me we will not be back here. I will have to keep trying other "Chinese" places to find the right one for us. read more

This place is old/dated and could use a deep cleaning and a makeover. When I sat down noticed the floor was sticky as I moved my feet. With that said, the food is good, big portions and everything tasted fresh. Been here a few times and never had issue with the food. The few times I have ate here the waitresses are a couple older women with heavy accents but very friendly and they get the orders correct without writing anything down. If you want good Chinese food at a good price you won't go wrong coming here. Service is pretty fast. read more

Want a NY style Chinese restaurant? This is it!!! I have been going there for 10 plus years now. Best lunch specials, always consistent food quality. The soups are wonderful, tasty. Fast service & a friendly staff who work hard. Try the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, or the General's Chicken. I LOVE THIS LITTLE PLACE! read more

Hoi Yin - My wife Kaity & I have loved this place since we left NY in 2013. These people are the best! The food is fresh & tasty, Best prices too. - Chinese Near Me - Spring, Texas

Food is amazing and restaurant was very clean my kids loved the food , orange chicken was really good, low mein is amazing and friend rice is also really good read more

It's really *good.* Full disclosure, I'm from New Orleans born and raised. So my palate is probably more discerning than most... After months of delay, I placed my order over the phone, and the lady was quite friendly. Yet to find the boneless spare ribs that adorn most Chinese menus back home, as well as Shrimp Fried Rice that sweeps me off my feet (except for one other restaurant), I decided to give Hoi Yin a try. I placed my order about an hour before closing, picking it up from the drive-thru twenty minutes later. I ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice and the BBQ Pork; the spare ribs were bone-in, and I wasn't looking for beef sticks. There were no photos of the BBQ Pork on Yelp, so I took a shot in the dark. The nice aroma filling my truck, I eagerly fled home to give my food a try... To their credit, the portions from Hoi Yin were large, the price was fair ($15 total) and the food tasted pretty good. Okay--I didn't finish my food because it did absolutely nothing for me. Most of the Shrimp Fried Rice I've tasted since moving to the Houston area has been fairly bland. Plus I came up short when it came to the ribs I'm seeking. So for a *local* standard, my meal from Hoi Yin was really good. However, I'm still searching for fried rice and boneless ribs akin to anything I'm used to back home. Unfortunately, I haven't found that yet. read more

Wow, these prices are stuck in the 90s!! The lunch specials start at $6.95. Food is really tasty and flavorful and I came away full. I just don't understand these Yelp reviews. I see an elderly Mom & Pop working hard and always concerned about the quality of their food. It's a beautiful thing. You can see that the locals are regulars and receive a warm welcome. I think it's a special place. read more

We've been getting takeout from them for years. Always good! I can't think of any dish that has been bad.

the people who say they don't like this place are LYING! The food is absolutely amazing everything on the menu is to die for! My grandparents live right by the restaurant and every time me and my brother come to visit we will go out to dinner here because it's so good! The restaurant is well decorated and it's very clean! we absolutely love dining in! and we never have troubles carrying out as well! We love the people who work there! they get things done quickly. service is amazing they always get things out quickly and food never disappoints! read more

It doesn't look like much from the street and the drive through is perilous with tight corners and trash cans. But inside past the basic decor and furnishings lives a gifted cook who makes delicious down home Chinese meals. My personal favorite is the beef with flat rice noodles. Not a headliner dish but more of a family staple. I have yet to find a place that does it better. read more

What can you expect from Chinese-American food? They're as quick as a mom-and-pop can be. Very decent prices and accurate "ready" times. I wouldn't drive for it, but it'll do if you're close. read more

So the food was bland, honestly tasted like frozen stir fry. Order the beef fried rice spicy no veggies (with no spice) and kung pao three meat delight (no shrimp, extra beef) which is twelve ninty-five just for it to be bland and a plate full of vegetables. The person I was with asked for mandrian spicy chicken and walnut shrimp just for the chicken to not have flavor or spice and guess what the walnut shrimp, you guessed it a tin pan full a vegetables and 5 shrimp, yes we counted, 4 since one fell. Totally disappointed to have had spent $40 plus dollars. The picture is the tin pan FILLED With veggies compared to meat that comes in it. read more

Hoi Yin - Kung pao three meat delight - Chinese Near Me - Spring, Texas

Place looks a bit outdated but the food is delicious! We love the spicy orange chicken and my husband loves the beef and broccoli plate.

Cozy little place for some good Chinese food. Best General Tso chicken I've had in town. Good service. Egg rolls are good and the price is on point. Especially their lunch specials. Lots of good tasting food for the price. Egg drop soup is delicious. read more

Best kept secret in the Woodlands. Hoi Yin offers great quality Chinese Food with a fast preparation time. I definitely enjoy their lunch specials for the large portion sizes and the traditional interior of the restaurant is cozy. Decided to try it out & now I'm a regular patron. Surprisingly good despite initial judgements. read more

I give it a 4 star. The Broccoli Beef is awesome here and with white rice and a good price.

We went in as they unlocked the doors for the day to place a to go order. We have not been in the building itself in years. We usually call in and drive through pick up. The floors were dirty, the tables and chairs had crumbs and dried food, cobwebs were hanging from the doors jambs. We were the second order placed. Three orders were delivered to those that came and placed their order after us. Never a comment to let us know ours was coming up, or soon, or just a moment or anything. Good commuication goes a long way. Thirty-five minutes later, over cooked, soggy, gummy, Lo Mein. Under cooked, lumpy Egg Foo Young gravy. Saving grace, great crab rangoon. We have been coming here for years, since they changed over the building from the Pilgrims Cleaners. We think it is important to support small businesses. Unfortunately, after todays service, we will now be looking for a new place. read more

The lady with the short hair that's old she is very rude and yelling when at you when you tell her your order. I told her what I wanted she kept yelling at me. I won't come back if the service is like this. It's my first time here. I'll see how the food is but if it's anything like the service leave me out of it. read more

we love Hoi Yin! The special fried rice, egg rolls and crab Rangoon are delicious! Must try if you are in the area.

Food was good but there costumer service was aweful the lady's are very rude it was my first and last time going too this place

I freakin love this place! My small family of 3 always orders the sesame chicken, chef specialty plate to go. The sauce in this dish is delicious. We don't even have to use soy sauce, because of the flavor & amount that is in the dish. We eat dinner & still have leftovers for the next night. It comes with a massive amount of chicken & a side of rice with an egg roll. We order an extra egg roll, but no biggie. The prices are reasonable for what they give you. It's insane! Nice little hole in the wall & SO close to home. read more

Good service, nice staff, but it doesn't look clean inside. Also, the food is decent but the lo Mein is a disappointment.

All I can say is if you're looking for relatively fast, cheap, low quality Chinese food, then this is the place to be. Average price across the board is about $7/8 per plate. For lunch specials, most meals are less than $7. Portion sizes are generous and the lunch deal comes with a large fried egg roll and your choice of egg drop soup or sweet and sour soup. I've tried general tso and garlic chicken lunch specials. All I can say is they fill the stomach. The soup cannot even be called soup. It is akin to jello. Very generous with the corn starch. It makes a heavy thonk sound when you pick up the spoon and let it ooze over back into the bowl. The actual dishes themselves are so/so. I do prefer the general tso, but of course isn't the best I've had. Then again, this isn't really the kind of place you look to for authentic, quality Chinese food. Service is hit or miss. The waitress is nice but you'll find yourself having to ask for straws when she hands them out to customers at another table. However, she is the only one on the floor and lunchtime can be busy-ish so we'll cut her some slack. Overall, not the best you'll find, but likely the cheapest. read more

Egg rolls are generous. Special Chicken with walnuts and special sauce. Kung Pao shrimp.

They suck and they refuse to help you. They would rather be on their phones. Also no Apple Pay and when you try to pay online they say your not allowed to. read more

I love Hoi Yin. My favorite thing I believe is their egg rolls. To me they are just the right size and just flavor that I expect. Their fried rice and pepper steak are next. Lately I call my orders in and pick it up. I'm guaranteed to be by there again soon. read more

Really great Won Ton Soup.. and the service is super quick.. quick to the point of i'm not sure if I wanna know exactly how the kitchen works back there.. lol (j/k a little) Staff is always very friendly and all of the food is quite good. One thing I can definitely say about Hoi Yin is they are pretty consistent. I come here from time to time because I know what I'm going to get and I know what to expect when I get it.. whether call ahead drive thru or dining in. I will say I ordered a very large order once from them and the Fried Rice we ordered was really OFF.. other than that I like em. I will also remain a customer read more

So having lunch here has reminded me of a couple of things. I remember being hungover in college and wanting so desperately to have anything to eat the next day. Yes crappy fast food would have sufficed, but hell I thought to myself let's raise the bar a half a scosh......well this restaurant reminded of that. Mediocre food with decent service. It's like those cheap Chinese places around college campuses. Filling food, not anywhere near good quality. I also agree with other reviews on tasteless food. While others cite the wonton being that way, I cite the egg drop soup as being the worst offender. Lumpy tasteless soup. I love salt but I've NEVER put soy sauce in my egg drop soup. Well, I broke that friggin rule while eating here. Service was good. No soda machines either so don't order coke, you'll get a can. As a soda lover, I hate that. My girl got orange chicken which was good and I got chicken lo mein. Cheap filing but honestly, only ok food. The best thing about this place was the egg rolls. However not enough for me to give it anything other than 3 stars. If you're hungover and want a good portion of cheap food, go to waffle house. If that's closed, try here...good luck read more

Gr8 quick Chinese food for lunch or dinner. I have had my shares of Chinese Buffets but when I want it just as quick and with better quality (than a buffet) PLEASE PLEASE come here! Irene, Jenny and everyone there are very hospitable....I frequent here so much that I have built a relationship and when I order to go they ALWAYS give me extra treats....(unexpectedly)......Start building your relationship to get the same treatment!!! NO I WAS NOT PAID TO SAY THIS!! read more

Terrible! Service is horrendous. Smelled AWEFUL! Had no egg drop soup or fries for my son, which is fine, but so rude about it. Then we specifically asked for brown gravy and we had a discussion about what brown gravy was. She brought the "brown gravy" and it was nothing but teriyaki sauce and she proceeded to argue with me that it was brown gravy. I won't be going back! read more

Been coming here for years now! Employees are always friendly, the food is always excellent and they give you a lot! I also like that you can call ahead and use the drive through to pick it up read more

I was a little hesitant to try this place last night given the overall yelp rating. However, I'm glad I went and got myself the General Tso Chicken (based on recommendations). The food was tasty. What was even better? I phoned ahead to place my late night order and picked it up in the drive-thru window (in my night gown)! read more

Wide variety in the menu and food is awesome! Never afraid to try something new off of it and the staff are also very friendly, only complaint is that sometimes when taking out, food sometime takes a while to get to you even with little customers eating. read more

I've been coming here for at least 13 years now. I love the owners and the staff- super sweet people! Hands down the absolute BEST egg rolls and won ton soup anywhere!! My brother in law who lives in Kemah drives here just for the egg rolls. They're that good! Very affordable and very large portions too. Highly recommend read more
