Jia Kitchen is a great place to grab chinese/vietnamese food in Katy Asian Town. Huge menu and friendly staff. Food had big portion sizes, had to grab a togo box for both our meals. It was fairly priced too. Overall I would come back!

vegetable soup
Imran S.

we were shopping at H Mart and got hungry so we decided to walk around and see what we liked. When we got to Jia Kitchen the food looked good and the place was packed; both good signs we started off with the roti and curry - the curry was good but the roti was too oily. we then got the veggie soup with thick noodles - the portion was huge and it had lots of veggies and lots of flavor. i went with friends and they got more dishes including dumplings and beef dishes. portion size was good and flavor was great overall good food with big portion size and big flavor

Walnut Shrimp

Another good experience here after a 7 month break. They are slightly short staffed but good came out quick enough. The wonton soup and walnut shrimp were amazing! Green beans were crispy. Hot tea was yummy!

Che thai/ thai desert 4/5. Cant mess it up.

Food The malaysian clear glass noodles was beef 4/5 was pretty good. The beef was slightly dry but the portion and flavor was solid. Flavorful and soy saucey with veggies mixed. Thai sweet and soicy wings 5/5 Sweet and spicy battered wings. Very solid and nicely flavored and slightly spicy. Fried rice 4/5 Smokey and has assorted protein such as beef and chinese sausage. I would order it again. Good for sharing!! Pecking duck 2/5 I would not order this again. Limited baos and not much duck. Duck quality was dry and stale. Salt roasted shrimp 5/5 Lovely battered and crunchy so flavorful you have to eat the shrimp with the shell or you are MISSING OUT. Banh bot chien/ rice cake omlette 4.5/5 The rice cake is good. Crispy and fresh. Paired with the sweet soy sauce is A MUST. I'd order it again Service 3/5 Felt rushed. Employee offered to help with to-go ing left overs despite us saying we could do it ourselves. But its fine just come for the food haha.

Be sure to check that your food is fully cooked. I ordered the mực rang muối (salt-toasted squid), but the batter was still raw. When I mentioned it to a server, she asked, "Do you want it medium or well done?"...which was confusing, since this isn't a steakhouse, and squid should be cooked through. A family member also mentioned that on a previous visit, their fish was undercooked as well. Just a word of caution.

Crispy Beef with Tangerine
Steph D.

Jia Kitchen and neighboring Tan Tan Wok are really all one and the same restaurant. Slightly different ambience, but they share the same menu and staff. I've been here more than a few times, and almost always start with a Thai Tea. Which is served in a frothy, icy carafe. My usual entrée is the Salt and Pepper Squid, and I recently tried the Crispy Beef with Tangerine. It was well worth the wait for that dish. The lightly breaded beef was very tender and served in a sweet tangerine-ginger sauce with just a hint of heat. If you choose fried rice, in lieu of, the usual steam rice, you'll be pleased with an actual handmade fried rice, and not something out of the Sysco Asian food catalog. Every time I've dined here I've always seen tables full of families, sharing dishes. It seems to be a favorite spot for many locals.

Stopped by recently on a weekday around 4pm for a super late lunch, so the restaurant was pretty much empty at the time. We were quickly seated and got our foods ordered pretty quickly as well, and they did not take long to come out either. It seemed like the prices went up by a lot from the last time we were here, but that was fine. We ordered the roti and curry starter, crispy seafood flat rice noodles, Kinh Do spare ribs, and bbq pork and chinese sausage fried rice. My favorite was probably the the roti and curry starter which was super good. The curry was flavorful, and the roti was fluffy and light. The Kinh Do spare ribs were not bad. The fried rice tasted like typical Chinese restaurant fried rice and a bit bland, so it was not that special. The most disappointing part of the meal was probably the seafood flat rice noodle. The flavors were good, but the seafoods were pretty nonexistent (only a few pieces). It was close to $20, so we had expected it to have at least a bit more seafoods in it. Overall, it was only okay, especially for the price. I don't mind paying a lot for good foods, but I don't think it was very worth it here. There are lots of restaurants here in Katy Asian Town, so there are better options to choose from. I wouldn't go out of our way to come back here unless I really couldn't decide on another place in this area.

Pretty decent Asian cuisine. I had the Squid Ink Fried Rice with Fresh Coconut Water. I like the squid bits they added to the fried rice. It adds a subtle sweetness to the whole dish, but I had to touch up the rice with more salt/soy sauce than I wanted to add. The rice itself was plain and unseasoned, and even the squid ink didn't add enough flavor to save the dish. But I loved the coconut water (served in an actual young coconut). The water was fresh and sweet, a perfect drink for a hot summer day.

Came here on a Tuesday evening, a hour before closing time. Right after we got seated we noticed how crowded it got. Staff was helpful and humble (even though they closing time was near). Our waitress was great and very attentive. We order - banh bot chien - house special rice cake Hu tieu xao ap chao - crispy flat noodles with Chinese broccoli and beef Nui xao bo luc lac - shaken beef with macaroni Ambiance - I was telling my husband it reminds me of Tan Tan and sure enough he looked the restaurant up and it is own by the same owners. Great place food quick Chinese food.

Wall with zodiac signs
Chelsea L.

First time here. We went with a friend who is a local and she said this place was good. I really like the art and the zodiac signs on the wall. The server was also nice and gave recommendations. He did recommend the sweet and sour pork and I LOVE sweet and sour pork, so I went forward with the order. It comes with the big bowl of rice. When I tried the pork, it was not great. There is too much breading compared the pork causing it to be more crispy rather than chewy. It is also too sweet. I also tried my friend's walnut shrimp and that tastes good except the skin on the shrimp is still on the inside? I'm not sure if that is typical but I did not enjoy the texture of the shrimp skin. As for the portions, they are big so you should share the food instead of ordering each dish for yourself. We had to take to-go boxes. Rice is cooked well and servers are quick, but I did not enjoy the food.

First time at this restaurant, and it was delicious. Service was excellent. I was there for lunch with friends. The food was delicious and the portions are definitely shareable. You can order more then one plate and share all the variety that's available on the menu.

Pork and shrimp wonton egg noodle soup
Angelica C.

A must go to spot in Katy Asian town! We were looking for a place that has noodle soup since our favorite spot phanh ky was closed and we got lucky because they had exactly what we were craving for. My hubby and I got the shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup and the shrimp noodle soup. Omg did it hit the spot! The soup was so flavorful that it didn't need any condiments or sauces. I had a little chili oil on the side but really didn't need it. The kids also had their own soups and the orange chicken. All very tasty. I believe Jia Kitchen and Tan Tan Wok are now one restaurant so I'm giving 5 stars to both. Service is excellent, ambience is amazing and the food is top tier.

Kristy S.

Service was fast and friendly. No wait for a table Saturday lunch. I had the Banh bot chien -- the bot was more mush than chewy but overall still tasty. The Banh uot was good, the fish sauce needed a bit more fish sauce. It needed a bigger kick. Overall though food was good.

I ordered delivery in DoorDash. They had a BOGO deal on soup dumplings and a single combo special…read moreso it was a great value. I was really impressed by the packaging as they give a heat regulated thermal bag for the order. I appreciated that they have a number of non pork options as I don't eat pork. The chicken soup dumplings were flavorful though I'd have liked more soup. I put some red pepper flakes on top as there was no chili oil provided. The combo came with general tso's chicken and I opted for lo mein instead of fried rice. The dish as delicious but the chicken was dry. The combo also came with 2 thumb print pork dumplings which I didn't try and regular chicken dumplings which lacked a bit of flavor. There was also a spring roll which was just very greasy. It also came with egg drop or sweet and sour soup. I'm not a fan of either so I skipped it. All in all, great value and good but not amazing food.

We waited 65 minutes for our food while dining in and saw over 20 to go orders go out the door…read more They thought they had completed our ticket but never did. We told them numerous times what was missing and they could never get it together. It was the worst. After 1.5 hours, we asked for a refund of what was missing and they insisted that we got the food.

Izakaya Wa is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Houston! I usually go to the River Oaks location…read morebut decided to try the Memorial one this time. I came for lunch on a Saturday and it was super busy so the service was a bit slow. It took a while for our water and for our server to come and take our order. I ordered the Lunch Special Nigiri Sushi and Noodle Set and got 6 pieces of salmon nigiri with udon noodle soup. The salmon nigiri was fresh and buttery and so delicious! The serving size of the udon was a lot bigger than I anticipated so I feel like I got my money's worth. I definitely recommend coming for the lunch specials since they're good value.

After being seated, I informed the waiter that I would place a to-go order instead. About 20 minutes later, our food was ready. At that point, our daughter woke up, so we hoped to continue dining in as originally planned. I politely asked the waiter if we could finish our meal there. We didn't expect him to continue serving us--we simply wanted to sit and eat the food we had ordered. I had already tipped him on the to-go order. His response was blunt and shocking: "No, you have to leave. The table was given to someone else for a 7:30 reservation." There was no attempt to find a solution or offer an alternative--just a direct order to leave. This was a Thursday night, the restaurant was not busy, and there were outdoor tables and other seating available. We felt incredibly insulted by the attitude. When we spoke to the manager, he simply repeated that the table was reserved and backed up the waiter, without suggesting another table or even asking us to wait for the next available one, until we brought up the point that he could have asked if we have an option to wait for the next table?? Then the manager went ok do you want to have another table just because we asked. What stood out most wasn't the reservation issue, but the complete lack of hospitality, flexibility, or basic courtesy. This experience spoke volumes about the customer service here, and unfortunately, it's the reason we won't be returning.

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.

I've been on a Bun Bo Hue kick and while I have yet to find one that I've enjoyed more than regular pho, Huynh's was probably the best I've had yet. 4.3/5 The Duck Tea Leaf Salad was bright and very refreshing. Ordered as an appetizer, it was huge and was close to being a meal all by itself. I thought I had over ordered and probably did, but everything was so damn good, I finished it all. 5/5 Coconut coffee - this was my first time trying this. Served like a Vietnamese affogato, it came with a cup of coconut milk with coconut ice cream along with an espresso of Vietnamese coffee. Lord and waistline willing, I would consume one of these everyday. The contrasts of hot and cold, the bitterness of coffee with the creaminess of coconut. It all balanced and went so well together. Highly, highly recommend. 6/5 On top of all the amazing food was the service. I had just arrived from the airport and came close to their lunch closing time. They welcomed me graciously and without hesitation.
