Best general Taos chicken ever here and don't like the look of the place outside keep you from venturing in. I have been eating here for years and never had any problems. I don't think they have ever messed up an order even. The generals chicken is in a spicy thick brown sauce with veggies like carrots but there isn't a bunch of those the chicken is the star. It is always tender and juicy I love it. The lunch special is a steal a big portion of the chicken a side of rice egg roll and a cup of soup. The service is always good and so is the food. Give this place a try. read more

The building looks a little questionable. The food is the best asian I've had in Spring. Low prices, HUGE portions of fresh and well cooked meat and vegetables. The beef and chicken dishes are fantastic. Ordered a fried chicken dish and asked for extra steamed rice. "That will be a dollar, okay?" "Yeah! :)" A few minutes later "This is heavy." "Yeah I gave you extra rice." I get home and look in the bag there is a pound of rice amd enough chicken to feed four people. Meal was STEAMING hot after my drive home. Eat here. read more

Good food for the good price.. (lunch special $5.95) Their lunch portions are huge... Ordered sesame chicken- the sauce was little sweet but the chicken was very juicy and tender. I like their sweet and sour soup, but it was little bit cold. Fast and friendly service. .. I will be back. read more

One of the better, if not the best Chinese place in this part of town. I've been going here for years and I've tried pretty much everything on the menu. Fresh food, generous portions and good service. If the place isn't too busy you almost always see the employees food from the restaurant themselves, I tend to see that as a healthy sign. I would recommend this place over any Chinese buffet any day. read more

My husband and I have eaten here a few time but I have never actually picked up the takeout until tonight. Pulled up to the drive through and sat behind a car for 15 minutes, got tired of waiting so I went inside and it was another 19 minutes before anyone spoke to me. It should be noted that no one ever went to the window and helped the people waiting on their food so they ended up just leaving. When I was addressed I told the cashier/lady handling the take out orders I was there to pick up our order that was said to take 10-15 minutes when we called before hand and she tore my order off the pad and took it into the kitchen where she was screaming with the cook. Eventually she called me to get my order 10 more minutes maybe? Honestly I started talking to another person waiting and stopped watching the clock briefly, .....and what do you know ....wrong order. They only got haft our order, she then proceeded to argue with me about what was ordered, after that she insist it will be five more minutes to get the rest, ...my order did come out in the allotted time. Before I paid I asked her if my order was correct and said what it was supposed to be two more times and she agreed, so I paid and went to my car. Decided to take a peek before driving off and it was wrong, ugh. So I walk back in and tell the other waitress because the cashier was yet again in the back screaming, she argued with me about my order then the cashier comes out and tells me that not what I ordered yes, yes it is. Finally she agrees to fix it after I Inform her it was okay I was leaving but wouldn't be back. Overall - the food is mediocre and for having so many Chinese places near you would think the service would be better. We won't be back as I don't like to argue with the staff. read more

Good not good. Food has a weird taste. And much does it take to be nice, friendly. Won't be back

Disappointing. Read first review. As I was eating read more. Should have read 2nd 3rd 4th review. Prices ok. Food lacks tastiness. Got Szechuan chicken. Chicken itself was boring. Had fresh jalapeño. Did not expect that. Egg roll boring too. Hot sour soup ok. Won't be back. Still looking for good Chinese in this area. read more

We have gotten take out from here periodically for several years and we have always been pleased -- until tonight. We ordered egg rolls and mu shu pork as we usually do plus we tried hot mandarin chicken which was described as crispy breaded breast meat. Frankly, the mu shu was horrible, just cabbage, egg, and pork in an unbelievable pile of mush. It had neither flavor or texture. We ended up throwing it out as it was pretty much inedible. The hot crispy chicken was neither hot nor crispy. It, too, was basically mush as the breading just fell off the meat when lifted from the container. Even the egg rolls were off of their usual consistency. I don't know if there is a new chef or owner or what. We just feel like we wasted $20 and we will find another take out place from now on. read more

My Boyfriend and I love this place! The food is great and super affordable! The service could be a little better but the food and price are worth it. The lunch specials are great and the food comes out very fast! read more

It's a hit or miss for some people. My opinion? I think it's pretty good for the area and if I'm craving Chinese food. I've had the general tsos chicken and it has a great flavor and is very filling it's balls of chicken. And I've also had the pepper steak which is good also I wish they had a combo plate for these two!! read more

I love the pepper steak and eat that every single time I go.

This place is GOOD; however, I am only giving them 2 STARS because THE SEAFOOD COMBO ($15.95) WAS a bit of a RIP OFF!! The combo states it has (Lobster, Crab, Shrimp, Scallops, and Veggies)...NO! More like gummy IMITATION CRAB...Fair amount of shrimp..2-3 Scallops...and of course the incentive to ordering is the promised lobster, right?...NO! Literally, HALF a LOBSTER TAIL!!! HALF!!...It was so scrunched up that my girlfriend and I were apprehensive prior to eating...Majority of the small plate, YES SMALL consists of veggies...it is literally veggies with a handful of mix seafood...NOT WORTH paying almost $16 for the dish!! I would rather put my money towards a seafood buffet paying the same or a few dollars more than this price. ...I agree with the comment below that it is a HIT or MISS...They are worth the money; but I highly suggest to NOT ORDER THE SEAFOOD COMBO..Be very WARY OF SEAFOOD DISHES...Small amounts... read more

Real freshly cooked Authentic Chinese food. The pepper steak is so good. The shrimp fried rice is also really good. The staff is also very nice. I like the fact that I can call in our orders and pick up in 20 minutes. read more

This is the best chinese take out your could possibly ask for. Of course it's not traditional Chinese, but that's not why you would come here. They load your plate up with so much food, I can never eat it all. Even lunch portions are huge. The general tsos is top notch. Giant prices of chicken loaded with delicious sauce. The rice is good as well. If you are into sweet n sour chicken this place has good quality. The family that runs the joint is very friendly, and remembers me and what I order even if I haven't been there in months. This is the place to go for your chinese take out desires. read more

Love their food for take out Chinese. Their moo shoo pork is wonderful! If you are eating in its a bit hectic so service is just so so.

Good food... Terrible service... If there is more than 5 people there do not waste your time. You will be waiting forever.

The only reason I ever go here is because my mom really loves this place and I just don't see why. Service is okay, no complaints there, but the food is seriously hit or miss! Don't order the wonton soup because they'll only give you one measly little wonton in a cup. Portion sizes here are RIDICULOUSLY HUGE so if you order something and don't like it you're screwed. They use those thick spaghetti noodles for all their noodle dishes. I tried many different dishes here and so far the only one I've liked was the green pepper chicken. Their sweet and sour sauce is also really good, surprisingly. read more

I've gone here before food is normally really good, service is really good also. Today I brought my grandmother with me to lunch, we both ordered the sweet and sour chicken, wonton soup and sweet tea. In our sweet tea we found a huge bug along with 2 more in our soup. They have a big bug problem. Another customer there said they use to have a huge roach problem as well. I do not suggest you come here, especially after this experience. read more

I just tried this place yesterday for the first time. Do not make the mistake of discounting this place based on it's outside appearance. My friend lives near and has tried most menu items. She says everything is good. We ordered take out and received our food quickly. I had the triple delight with shrimp, beef, chicken, and vegetables. My friend ordered General Tso's Chicken. We shared an order of eggrolls and an order of spring rolls. Everything was DELICIOUS!! Nothing was greasy and every morsel tasted fresh. The eggrolls were crisp and flavorful. The shrimp were plump, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The chicken was high quality beat meat that wasn't dry. I ate my leftovers today and it tasted even better. I'm going back later this week for more. I HIGHLY recommend this spot. read more

Left before even ordering food. Went to the restroom and found a couple of spiders. Pulled out my chair to sit down and there was a kitchen roach on my seat. We immediately walked out. read more

Ok, I hardly ever do this but it needs to be said. The workers/owners of this restaurant are RACIST! Clearly they don't like certain people. But they definitely don't like black people. Apparently I am not the only person who feels this way according to google reviews. They are noticeably nice to ALL white people. When it comes to white customers they smile, wait on them hand and foot, engage in conversation, greet them and say goodbye when the leave. When they see black people or brown people they frown, ignore them, and don't honor any questions or concerns you have. They are mean. I agree with all of the negative comments that people have left and it is clear to see what is going on here. I would rather they put up a sign that says "your kind are not welcome here" rather than be rude after you have taken my money! But I guess accepting money from people you hate isn't beneath them. read more

I only give this place three stars for one particular reason: they had terrible customer service when I dined in with my fiancé and two children. My children are well behaved and are almost never loud when we go out; this time around there was a small exception to that. Both of them were very hungry. My daughter was a little impatient and cried for a super short time until I gave her a drink. She got quiet but for the rest of the time one of the women working there was very snappy and rude to us. We got refills on our drinks only after we had started packing up to leave. I am a pretty outspoken person but I held my tongue... No reason to bite the hand that feeds you. read more

Overall, good Chinese food. Some items are a hit or miss. I'm going to list the "hits" first. The Special Wonton Soup for two: so good and very filling! The presentation is cool because they serve it in a big bowl with a ladle and give you two smaller bowls. The soup has shrimp, chicken, pork, wonton dumplings, and lots of veggies. My new fav soup. Shrimp fried rice: very good and a huge portion! Chicken and broccoli: usually my go to option at any Chinese place, and here it's pretty good. Also includes carrots. General Tso's Chicken: sauce has a good flavor and again the portions are big. It's very good. Sweet and Sour Chicken: ordered a combination plate and a small portion of sweet and sour chicken was included. It was crispy and the chicken was cooked well. Egg Rolls: the egg rolls come in an order of two. They are my favorite. crispy and well seasoned! I have to order them every time I go!! Steamed dumplings: the sauce that comes with the dumplings is so good! Big portions and so tasty. Now for the not so good. The Mongolian chicken and king pao chicken were in my opinion, not very good at all. We tried to eat them but had to throw them away. So I would stay away from those entrees. The Mongolian chicken had carrots and peas but it looked like the ones that come in a frozen bag and there was too much of them. The flavor just wasn't there. read more

Something is different at Hoi Yin. Not as good as it used to be. Last 2 times I ate food from here I had stomach issues. 2 weeks ago I was sick for a week. Both times I ate Egg Foo Young. I think it was the gravy. I won't be eating here again. It's a shame. It's really hard to find good Chinese food like we ate some decades ago. I guess good cooks have retired and new cooks really cut corners. I miss the good old days. read more

The service is deplorable! Three times my order has been wrong I was told to speak with the woman to place my order and not the man. When I placed my order with the woman she's very rude and hangs up while I'm talking and placing additional orders. I called back and was told she was the manager and she is busy! Asked did I want the order or not I chose not. I have spent a lot of money there and I don't recommend going. read more

The food here is great! The staff is super friendly and the food is always hot and fresh. This is not the fanciest place you will ever eat, but if you are looking for fresh, hot Chinese food that taste delicious you won't be disappointed. The pan fried dumplings are fantastic! The lunch specials are a great deal! read more

Best hot and sour soup ever and general tso was absolutely delicious. Also, The portions are huge! One combo plate could definitely feed two adults. read more

Just finished eating here, service was good and the waitress was very kind and patient even though my dad kept asking for many things. The lunch specials are good here. Overall I had a good experience here. read more

The waitress only came to my table to take my order and give it to me and when I didn't give her a high tip, when I shouldn't have given her a tip at all, she proceeded to run out to my car demanding more money. I will never go to that restaurant again! read more

Very nice people. This will be come our new go to place. Also, Google has the time wrong. They close at 10 Monday - Thursday and 10:30 Friday and Saturday read more

Great food and the prices along with generous portions are the reason it's my go to for Chinese food. It's a must try if your in the area!

best cheap chinese on this part of town. I used to go to the place over by Kroger but i feel they have slipped while Hoy Yin has remained constant. lunch specials are an incredible deal. read more

This is a great little family owned place where you get more than what you pay for. The portions are fantastic. I love the combination plates. Open late too. read more

I will preface this by saying that the food here is usually good and before this time the long wait times were met with apologies and offers of a free tea. However, this time fully deserves this 1 star rating. First, every time I order take out from here the 15-20 minutes they tell me on the phone turns into a solid 35-40. I should know better than to show up on time but I can't help it. Next, this time we ordered pineapple chicken which is supposed to have snow peas, mushrooms, water chestnuts, celery, bamboo shoots, pineapple and chicken. There are NOT supposed to be any onions much less the mountain of onions we received in the dish. There were also exactly 2 mushrooms and 3 snow pea pods. Also, we ordered the Mandarin hot chicken extra spicy with fried rice. We got It with very little spice, no onions, which it was supposed to have and no rice. I went back in and asked for my rice and was told I did not order fried rice. Then this super rude lady actually made me pay an extra dollar for the fried rice. Finally, their menu says the bobo platter contains "fantail" shrimp...they are actually sweet and sour shrimp. Either their menu is way wrong or they managed to screw up every piece of this order including the part that requires them writing it down properly even though it was repeated back to me correctly before getting off of phone. Then this lady has the audacity to get an attitude with me and tell me what I ordered and make me pay another dollar even though I didn't get any rice with my order. I will not be going here again. read more

Hoi Yin - Chinese Near Me - Spring, Texas

See all

I have mixed emotions about this place. Main reason I went is because they were open late. Outside is a bit rough not very clean or safe late at night. I was a bit surprised to see a drive-through on one side of their building. Dumplings were fairly good. Mongolian chicken was horrible. Breaded chicken that was very doughy and mush. Sorry to say I will not be going back.... read more

Good Food, terrible service. If you want to dine on delicious food while the wait staff and management ignores you, this is the place. It's a shame, their food is really good. The service is equally bad. read more

I got sick for two days. I have tried to bring it to managers attention but I cant seem to not be able to reach him. I have left several messages and they still have not called back. I will not ever eat there again. Hoi Yin you suck! read more

Fresh food delivered quickly. So far I have only been there 3 times however I have been impressed with the good fresh food. The lunchtime meals are really inexpensive. Definitely recommended read more

This used to be my favorite chinese food, until last night. I had wonton soup and then I threw up all night. It was worse then montezumas revenge. I'm very sad because I really loved this place, but never again. read more

Tried other Chinese places in the area and this is our favorite. Tried a variety of items of the menu and have been pleased with them. You get fresh veggies and meat! The hot and sour soup is really good. Yes, the place looks small but there's plenty of space inside and its always busy with dine-in and especially take-outs. read more
