    Pork B.b.q. Spare Ribs & Eggrolls
    Jade P.

    King Wok is a quiet strip mall Chinese restaurant with some really good food. This is an older spot so don't expect glitz and glam. From what I've seen online they've been open over 20+ years so that's a good sign. They have a some really sweet employees here. I love how kind everyone is here!! My husband and I are definitely adding this place to our rotation!! In order to make sure we get to try a bit of everything we've been getting the family dinner special for two. It's two entrees off of their specials list, two soups, two eggrolls, a side of their bbq spare ribs, and a large plate of fried rice to share. The portions here are massive !! The prices are incredible!!! $27.99 for two people ? That's crazy in this economy. Let's start with their wonton soup. My husband hates wonton soup at most places but their broth is rich and full of delicious pork flavor. Most times I add soy sauce to my soup and I never have to here. The eggrolls are solid !!! My husband usually steals mine. The bbq ribs here are great. They are sweet and savory and soft!!! I love how fatty they are. Fat = Flavor. My favorite dishes we've had here so far are the pepper steak, and kung pao chicken. I love a savory dish and this place hits the spot. I definitely recommend the dumplings they are made fresh to order and they take 20 minutes to cook. If you order them please be patient. The wrappers are definitely made from scratch as they have a nice chewy texture with a good amount of bite and filled to the brim with pork. They are excellent. My husband liked them steamed but I preferred pan seared. So we compromised and got steamed lol. This place f%cks!!! The decor and cutlery needs to be updated, but the food is amazing. I will be back !!!

    Red King Wok was an excellent choice They actually make "Egg Foo Young" and this is hard to find!! I had the Special with Special Fried Rice too.... Great portions and an excellent value too. Large selections of food and lots of variety too. Very friendly staff members and engaging. Even with a "To Go" order they were very pleasant and accommodating. Yummy and filling!! Super portions plus fast service. What else could you ask for?

    One of my favorite restaurants in Houston! Been coming here since I was a baby, and I never get tired of it nor has it ever changed! Perfect lunch special and great service!!!! Ambiance is fun and dingy.

    This is the bug in the noodles
    Luamri P.

    So I'm not the one to be giving others bad reviews but this restaurant I just had to tell everyone what was going on. I asked for a chicken noodles and when we got it, I asked for white rice and they gave me fried rice and there was a bug in my noodles. There was black stuff in my water. They gave us a dirty cup with lip stain, and they gave us a dirty spoon.

    Food is good, service is friendly but they don't wait on you. Restaurant needs a redesign but over all my table was clean my cup was clean. Place is cheap just slow.

    General Chicken Lunch Special (Disclaimer: added red pepper flakes myself)
    TK N.

    This place is somewhat of a hidden gem in the Mission Bend area. It's right off hwy 6 and almost hidden among the other businesses in the shopping center tucked at the back. Every time I've gone the restaurant has only had a couple of diners inside. The food is decent though it could be spicier. I picked up General Chicken (their version of General Tso's) and Orange Chicken along with cheese puffs. The General Chicken had a nice flavor, but it wasn't spicy. The Orange Chicken had a little more spice flavor than the General Chicken, but only to make it a mild flavor. The Cheese Puffs were savory which I prefer over sweet. All in all, it's a decent place to grab a bite if you're craving Chinese food. The lunch special also has a nice portion.

    Combination fried rice.
    Sonja R.

    Yesterday was my 1st time trying King Wok. I wanted fried rice, specifically combination fried rice. King Wok is in the strip behind Taco Bell off Hwy 6 in case you are wondering. It has red doors. Just FYI ... The lady greeted me as I came in and took my order. I ordered the combination rice which is chicken, shrimp, barbeque pork, carrots, peas, onions, eggs, and I think a few pieces of brocolli It didn't take long at all and it was piping hot. I drove home (live in Katy) and it was still warm. It wasn't expensive, I think with the tax, it was less than $9. I asked for spicy and it wasn't spicy to me. I just added cayenne pepper when I got home. As I was eating it, some pieces of meat tasted like it had been in the refrigerator and was added to the hot rice. Overall, it was fine. It wasn't the best I have had but I would order it again if I were in the mood for it.

    Pepper Steak

    I was looking for a quick affordable lunch and found this based off or yelp reviews. Food had good flavor, very generous portion size and service was quick. Restaurant was clean but could use some upgrading. Overall great value, will definitely return

    Pork and beans
    Kurt S.

    This is the kind of Chinese restaurant that I'm used to eating at in Hawaii for decades--older, family run. They appear to have been in business for quite some time. The service was friendly. When the food came, it looked and smelled wonderful. The person took the time to go over our order and made sure that we had everything. They threw in a small complementary rice, forks, and shoyu (soy sauce) without us asking. We ordered crab puffs, lemon chicken, pork lo mein, pork and green beans, and beef broccoli. When we got home, we got to eat the meal. It was excellent! The prices were very affordable too. Best Chinese food IMHO that I've found locally so far. Will definitely return many times.

    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.

Pork Bao's are normally my daughter fave but the soup dumplings here are her favorite. She could finish an order on her own. The service is always great. As soon as you get in they give everyone a water and a carafe of more water. There is a QR code to order and you place your order on the phone. The order goes straight to the kitchen and you can add as you go if wanted. I always thought that was pretty cool. The owner came out to say hello and ask how everything is. She even brought out a small bowl of soup for my baby to enjoy. The waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I don't live close by but will make the trip when the craving hits. Today was one of those days. The last time I was here there was no ac and not enough seating. This time it was nice and cool in and well as having new seating!

Today was my lucky day because there was plenty of parking spots and seats (although the parking lot is very small). This place is great! I understand the hype for sure. When you walk inside it's just about the smallest restraunt I've ever. Very cozy and cute vibe with smooth jazz playing on a speaker and we got our food very fast. I really enjoyed my time here. 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!
