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 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. Ambiance is pretty bland. admittedly the food we got was delish but their management sucks.

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.

Kuksu House is a food truck located in Sawdust right next to SportClips. I spoke with the owner,…read morewho told me that he just started this food truck and it's been about a week. Kuksu House is a Korean INSPIRED food truck not authentic Korean food. However, this doesn't mean that it is bad. The ingredients were all very fresh and the owner was very kind and felt like I was cared for. Great service and great quality food, but know what it is you are getting. If you want authentic Korean food and wanna feel like you are getting a taste of Korea, then this place is not it. However, if you are looking/down for a dish that is Korean inspired with good quality ingredients then yes please give this place a try and support the local businesses!

This food truck recently moved from Sawdust Road to La Plaza de los Food Trucks behind the Gosling…read moreExpress on Gosling. We stopped in the other night to try them out. It's Kuksu House so I got the kuksu, and we also got the hanum. Kuksu is an Uzbek-Korean dish--a cold noodle soup from ethnic Koreans living in Uzbekistan. It's made with wheat noodles, rice noodles, garlic broth, pickles and beef. For $17 they give you a great big bowl of it. The flavors are intense and really tickle your palate. There's a whole lot of flavor here and I couldn't eat a whole lot at once--I think it works better as an appetizer soup than a main course. You could get 8 appetizer servings from the order. Just for grins I warmed up some of what I took home, and it wasn't bad that way either. One thing I found lacking was the beef--I couldn't find much. But it's a fascinating dish if you're looking for a unique combination of textures and flavor. Hanum is another dish from the same region. It's a steamed dumpling with layered pastry and a meat and potatoes filling, topped with stewed tomatoes and onions. This is a hearty, satisfying savory dish--all melts together in your mouth. There's plenty to share or eat later, and it keeps in the fridge just fine. We wanted to get fries but they were sold out. Service was friendly and enthusiastic. They do have more conventional foods--chicken thighs and Korean tacos. But if you are tiring of Tex-Mex and want something really different, this is worth a try.

There's plenty of space for a couple or a bigger group. The service was great. The owner was there training a new hire. I ordered something recommended by the owner- the dragon bowl! and of course a little seafood boil since it was a little cheaper on HH. Both were great! the dragon bowl is really a star! They did not forget about the green vegetables! The boiled shrimp definitely cured my craving for the moment wanting crawfish. Glad to know they have other options that are just as good when the season is over!

I have been here a few times in the past and decided to revisit (twice). The interior is beautiful…read more My only negative is that both times no one was at the entrance, so we waited around awkwardly until some came out to let us know we could seat ourselves. During lunch time on a Friday, it was moderately busy. My friend at the kung pow beef with fried rice and I had the shrimp lo mein. It was really good that I decided to go back for my daughter's 15th birthday during dinner time. We ordered three California rolls (no cucumber, add cream cheese), the Kung pow chicken and Kung pow beef both with fried rice, and a kids size orange chicken. Nothing was left on the table. We enjoyed every bite!

It was pleasantly surprised as usually mixed selections like these miss a step. The staff were very nice and the owner/mgmt appeared to be on site. The restaurant was extremely clean and well lit. It was quiet for a Sunday but I wouldn't take point away for that. Definitely a return drive in the world.

I love noodles so that was a damper on my experience. But outside of that, I still proceeded to try them out. I got their Spicy Garlic Brisket Noodles. It wasn't very spicy for me so I requested additional spice to add to it. It was a good dish, but not something that I have to try again. The Spicy Cheese Rolls had a kick to it, but it wasn't something I was impressed with. And for $6 they should atleast come with 3 rolls. The place was clean and had plenty of seats available. I wouldn't mind trying them again and getting something different, but I really wanted those larger, flat noodles.

I keep forgetting that I haven't had really good food experiences here in general. We ordered the 3 item combo for $8.99 and used our outlet coupon book for an additional 15% off. With a soup and drink total came out to about $12.50. Bourbon chicken was good but the rice was dry. Not a huge problem but it didn't have much flavor either so we put some soy sauce to compensate and it was a little more bearable. The general tsao's chicken lacked the typical crunch texture that is characteristic of this item. Beef and broccoli was bland and meat tough. And lastly the hot and sour soup was runny and bland as well. So disappointed as these are typical items you'd find at any "Asian" food serving joint. Service was ok. The Asian lady cashier was a little bothered that we were using the coupon but that may also be a miscommunication issue bc she wasn't really rude. She happily gave us extra spoons and napkins for 2 without us asking which gives redemption.

Honestly worth ZERO STARS!! This place is inside Katy Mills mall. Went there when the mall and…read morestores first opened which means food should have been fresh and hot right? WRONG! So the cashier/food server had an attitude when my girlfriend asked if their "bourbon chicken" (which isn't labeled/titled correctly) was hot because the place the right of it (Lou's Cajun Grill) had cold food already. He replied "It's the same....we're the same place". At that point I noticed the he was right. The Asian Too and Lou's Cajun Grill restaurants are connected therefore serving the same food under two different names. The typical mall food court fake-a-nese food. Don't eat too much of it!!
