The food quality has gone downhill... Orange chicken was very dry to the point where it's like chewing on jerky, sweet and sour chicken all batter with thin strips of chicken (at least the chicken wasn't dry)... sauce is very thinned out. I went to order during dinner hours. For the price being a $1 extra, the quality of the food did not reflect the price increase. I'm sad to say that my next stop will have to be Panda Express across the street... read more

Hou Wei is a beautiful place,and the food is tremendous. Every employee who works there is always so polite. The manager was especially friendly to me and my family when we first walked in the door of the restaurant two years ago. She would ask if we wanted tea,and she was (and is) very fond of us. She calls us," The Happy Family." Miss Sally,thanks for noticing us and for making our experience at the restaurant memorable. read more

Mom was craving Chinese food. We stopped here and were pleasantly surprised how we hadn't seen it before. She ordered the seafood flat rice noodles and beef and broccoli flat noodles. It was so delicious! We thought we would need a side of rice but it ended up being more food than we needed our servers were so great too! We will be back! read more

Hou Wei - Eggrolls! - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

It has been awhile that we took our parents here. A few years back when it was newer, the food was authenticial Chinese Cantonese. We used to love coming here for the lobster deal with a few add on Canto dishes. A year ago, things started to not be as good, but we still would visit when we do not want to drive out to Chinatown. However, this time we flat out do not know what happened... The place is still cozy with its blue ambient lightings (+1), and the waitress was professional, friendly and nice (+1). But the food was close to not edible. My parents decided on three dishes - one with eggplants, one is some kind of mixed vegetables, then a pork dish. All three were super salty even when we requested them to be less salt, and they all tasted similar. The pork was not only not fresh, it had gone bad that we had to return it to the kitchen to be replaced with a beef flat noodles dish, which was still not fresh tasting at all. Sorry, no more. read more

I recently started coming here for lunch. So far I've tried the General Tso and House Lo Mein and both were good. The food is made to order and it comes out fresh and hot. Lunch specials are very reasonably priced. You get an entree, rice, soup, and an egg roll for under $10 after taxes. read more

if you stumble upon this place, you will be stunned. The food is equivalent to food in china town, nyc, the employees are soooooo nice, the restaurant itself is nice and calm, and best of all, the bathroom is pristine. read more

NEVER AGAIN. We will never visit nor order from Hou Wei again due to an employee named Joey. We LOVE the food and the wonderful delivery drivers at Hou Wei, but Joey lost us as longtime repeat customers today. Normally someone else answers the phone who is polite and helpful, but occasionally it is Joey. And we dread when it is Joey. She is short-tempered, extremely difficult to understand, and she does not seem to know the menu. We've been patient in the past when she's answered and we've had to repeat the order multiple times (yet still received the wrong food), but today was the last straw. I hope this otherwise excellent restaurant either invests in some customer service training for Joey or reassigns her to a position more suited to her presumed strengths. read more

We we're looking for some Chinese food and this place came up with good marks.... Nice lady "Owner" took care of us and set us up with some Great variety of quality food!

Eggrolls were nicely packed and the other plates were delicious too..... Overall nice place and Great customer service..... read more

Ordered takeout today. I had got take out before and the orange chicken was good. Today the orange chicken was overcooked and tough. I got also the moo goo gai pan, I've never had moo goo gai pan but it was bland. I liked that it had veggies and the chicken wasn't breaded. They asked if it was cash, and I said it was a credit card. They are now charging a 3% fee for credit cards - I wish they had told me before and I would have used my debit card (I don't have cash usually). I'm not sure I will be going back here - there are too many Chinese restaurants in the area and I was unimpressed with the food today.. read more

DO NOT ORDER ANY BREADED SHRIMP FROM HERE!!!!! I ordered the General Tso's Shrimp for my daughter...They literally served my family sh!t...My daughter thought it was pretty sh!tty to find shrimp feces in her dinner...the shrimp are whole and breaded...not cleaned at all...The price online is incorrect...I gladly paid more when they called and said it was $2.00 more...no problem IF the quality was there. The problem is that a lazy cook thought it was ok to take the lazy way out and bread whole, UNCLEANED shrimp because maybe no one would notice. How many other people have been served straight up dookie? I would rather drive downtown, or the Heights, or go to Kingwood, 30 - 45 minutes away than come here again. It's is so disappointing and disgusting!! My daughter has voted and we will never eat here again. read more

first time here will probably be my last being they charge for ever little thing and I absolutely love Chinese food ! normal Chinese restaurants give optio for white or fried rice without an extra charge (2.25$) i understand a upcharhe for shrimp fried rice but regular fried rice is insane it also does not include an egg roll or at least a soup or the chose.. read more

I give kudos to Hou Wei as it has a decent selection of very classic Mandarin style dishes, along with the tourist-y options. Their list of lunch specials are a nice contrast to the typical fast food burger and taco options. Each special entree comes with your choice of soup (wonton or egg drop) and an egg roll. I opted for the gang-do pai-gwut (the spicy deep fried pork chops) with rice. They came out and they were fairly decent although the chops themselves were slightly smaller. It could had a deeper integrated flavor where the pork is juicier at first bite. It had a great spicy kick. Otherwise it was a good meal, even had enough to take home for a midnight snack. Friend had a stir fry chicken chow mein which is pretty much your standard. Overall if I'm looking for something in North Houston, I would stop by again! read more

Food is sssssssooooooooo delicious. Never bland and always hot and fresh. You wont be disappointed!

Came for a snack because I was out busy running errands ! I ordered the pork egg rolls and then pork dumplings to go! Both were prepared fast and tasty. If I'm in the area, I'll definitely try other items on the menu. read more

We have been going to HouWei since its opening. It was absolutely wonderful! It has changed hands many times. We would periodically check it out in hopes it would return to its original "wonderfulness". My most recent visit left much to be desired. The food was unbelievably bland. I agree with another reviewer of the Asian lady. The Asian lady has no sense of customer service. I was in there a total of 20 min. (Eat in and order to take out). She started clearing my place while I was still eating. I let her know I was still eating. After she left, I asked the other employee if they were closing for the afternoon and reopening for the evening. The answer was "No". So why was I being rushed out the door?! Other than my eat in, I had ordered 3 dishes for takeout. What a mistake! Their description says the food is Mandarin. Based on my Chinese heritage, I don't agree. Don't they understand that they survive if the food is great and they treat the customer politely and at least give them time to eat? I was the only customer in the place!!! Oh, price has gone up $1.00 read more

The food is great I've been here many times and usually there's a Hispanic lady who is the host but this time it was a Asian lady who was inattentive the whole time. On her phone I had to walk up to her to order my food. I had to wave to finally get a refill and when getting a refill she spilled iced tea on the compow chicken. She laughed and said sorry and then went off to the kitchen. Im honestly don't know if I'll be coming back. It's disappointing. read more

Just going off break from work and we were going to eat something and we had decided to go give it a try . And it was anthemic Chinese dishes that I usually love . But it does taste a little different. I had order the salty peppers shrimp but I usually get it with the shrimp peel on but they did it off . It had a little lack of flavor But for the location the food was ok would I gone back I will say yes The restaurant is not that busy it's like little restaurant to eat at . The service is ok but the owner is really nice read more

The food is very authentic Chinese food. I don't have to go to Chinatown to get good every day Chinese food.

What a great addition to the northside! We decided to give this place a try yesterday since we needed to stay on that side of town. Several of our friends have been raving about the place, and now I know why! We literally all left stuffed and hurting because everything was so yummy. Our order was quickly taken and was turned around unbelievably fast. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and knew exactly how to answer on what options were favored by customers. Our groups favs were: Stir fried lobster Shrimp with pecans Eggplant Sizzling Beef Salt & Pepper Squid Sesame Chicken We will be back soon with our parents! read more

My wife and I have done carry out orders from here many times. They have been consistently good every time. We have tried over a dozen menu items from appetizers and entrees, everything we have tried is always delicious and appears to be fresh. This is one of our favorite Asian restaurants. Obviously we'll be back. read more

My favorite place to order delivery from. Food is always good, well made, on time and still nice and hot. I've never been inside.

Update: Yes, I know I just barely cranked out a review but I do need to add that they have a 2 for $20 lobster special going. The stipulations are that you can only eat it dine in, no to go and only allowed 1 order per table. I thought about walking outside, coming back in and sitting at another table, does that count? They cook it 3 ways, Ginger sauce, Peppery (not sure if spicy or black peppery) and Salt n Pepper (self-explanatory). For $20 it's hard to NOT like the lobsters, plus if you noticed on my profile that it would be my last meal on earth. Service is still great especially if you get the young Caucasian guy, he really tries! I had it yesterday and guess who's going back today? Yea, that guy. read more

Haven't been here in over a year and was told after a change in ownership the food wasnt as good. Well, we came here si center we're in town and it was very tasty and good. Service was great and servers were very friendly, attentive, and polite. Said they took over 5 months ago. Everything we ordered was great! Had the Singapore Noodles - great curry flavor. Beef flat noodles - very tasty. Beef with Chinese Broccoli - plenty of beef and broccoli. Hot pot beef stew - plenty of beef. Parents enjoyed it as well. Great place, wonderful food with flavor, and awesome service! read more

Hadn't eatin since breakfast & got call for random meet up w/ friends. Needed a quick bite & I was right by Hou Wei, so I hit the parking lot! Even though it was just at 45 minutes to shut down, I was greeted with a smile & not given major side eye since I was eating in house & not ordering take out. Special of the day was kung pao chicken & an eggroll for $7.95 so went for that. No left overs from prior cooked batches. The flavor was awesome. The veggies really stood out, perfectly cooked, but enough snap/crunch to them. Not overcooked at all. Plate was on fire, even the rice was piping hot. Portion was way more than enough & a steal for the price. Will definitely keep this as one of my go to spots. read more

The food was definitely delicious. I had the seafood fried noodles and I do believe it was my first foray into fried noodles. I like the texture of them when the broth of the seafood soften the noodles but still have a stiffness to them. Also had a chicken egg roll which was great. The general tso my girl got was good even though she felt it was spicy with the jalepenoes in it. One knock was the cashier (no waiter since we didn't dine in) repeatedly mixed up the order as we were placing it. But he was likely new as I know the place is but no biggie just was worried if we would get the right order which we did. So all was well and delicious lol. read more

You Wei is a little north of Houston so was a great stop for our family as we drove from Dallas to Houston and didn't want to wait until we got to Bellaire to eat. Judging by the Yelp reviews this placed is known for their lobster special so we ended up having a great meal of 2 lobsters cooked with ginger and onion, a Peking duck and beef with broccoli. The Peking duck was also prepared well and came with the standard bou. Overall, the food came out quickly and service was attentive. We enjoyed our dinner. read more

This restaurant is great for takeout. They are very fast at preparing food to go. I've tried a bunch of their dishes and they're all good. My favorite dish so far is the Mongolian beef. The beef is extremely tender and flavorful. Their house fried rice is also a reliable dish to order every time. Next time, I need to make a mental note to try their duck. Yum! read more

Our go to take out place. Sometimes it's better than others but we like it best of what is around the neighborhood.

I ordered this on DoorDash and it was absolutely AMAZING! It was hot, fresh, and delicious! I'm really picky with chicken with garlic sauce, and theirs took my number one spot! Their crab puffs were also really good! I was highly HIGHLY impressed with the food from here! I will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

I ordered to-go to pick up on my way home from work. It is incredibly difficult to find good fried flat noodles with beef outside of chinatown but I'm so glad that they offer this among other delicious chinese options at this restaurant. The noodles were tender and well seasoned and the beef was super tender and flavorful. I'm so glad they hav options you'd typically see at Tan Tan. They also have other options like peking duck and pan fried lobster. I also had the spicy salt toasted squid. This is incredibly similar to salt pepper squid you'd find at other asian restaurants. It is super good and if you take it home, it'll benefit in the air fryer for a few minutes just to crisp everything up. The inside of the restaurant is clean and the staff is polite. Will be back again soon. read more

Great food, great service, not a long wait at all! They're the best food in the area and I'll definitely be back!
