The interior was impressive and packed full of happy looking patrons. We were served quickly and were given good and friendly service. We ordered the general tsao chicken, king pao shrimp, famous egg rolls and pork dumplings. Everything was pretty tasty! The only issue was that we were given a chicken dish instead of the shrimp one we ordered. Once we called to inform the restaurant, they were quick to refund us the difference in cost. For the general tsao chicken I was hoping for a little more gravy and the texture was a little over fried for my liking. The egg rolls were huge and stuffed with vegetables, I understand why they're famous!

I previously enjoyed ordering from this establishment until recently, when I discovered a long plastic string in my egg rolls. Fortunately, I did not swallow it; I was quite upset, as I had previously praised this restaurant. I am uncertain as to what has changed. Due to my health concerns, it is now too risky to continue ordering from this restaurant. Regrettably, you have lost a valued customer.

I knew this place would be poppin' when I saw the 3.6 rating on Yelp (at the time of this review)…read morewith mostly non-Asian reviews, as well as seeing the owner doing paperwork on one of the dining tables - marks of a truly authentic Chinese restaurant. Do not sleep on the Sichuan food here (not the Chinese-American food)! Salt and pepper fish, eggplant & green bean, and Sichuan beef mala pot (very liquid-y but surprisingly good flavor) were all amazing. Chili oil dumplings had lots of filling, but I prefer thinner skins. Dan dan noodles were clumping together and didn't have peanuts so I don't recommend them. Dishes are about $10 per and portion sizes just about match; we got 3 entrees and 2 apps for 3 people and pretty much finished everything. Can't wait to come back!

I had to add a little extra table salt to it and then made it much better. I would get it again. Good service too. I remember the lemon chicken being one of my go-to here years ago and need to get it again one day. I hadn't been here in a long time, so it was nice to re-visit.

6.5/10 I tried…read moreChina Stix after seeing it come up a few times when I searched for the best Chinese food in Texas, so I decided to drive a bit out of my way to check it out. Honestly, I would describe it as a lesser version of Panda Express. The combo plate was about $20, which felt pretty steep for what you get. My orange chicken portion was extremely small, I only got about five pieces. For that price, that was pretty disappointing. The beef and broccoli was decent, but not nearly as good as Panda Express. The vegetable spring roll and the General Tso's spicy chicken were not good at all. The chow mein was the only part of the meal that stood out. I'd say the chow mein was good, maybe even a tie with Panda Express, but that was really the only highlight. The food overall wasn't terrible, but considering the price and the extra drive, it just wasn't worth it. I could have gone to my local Panda Express, gotten a much bigger portion, and paid about half the price. For me, that makes it hard to justify coming back.

I've dined at this location five times now and the customer service could be a little better. We…read morewere the only ones in the restaurant this time, but you would've thought they had a packed house based on how slowly everything moved. Just for the waitress to come back to the table to get our order papers took entirely too long. Outside of the service the restaurant itself is large, spacious, and clean, with plenty of room for large parties to gather and dine. I came this time to try the Houston Restaurant Weeks menu, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, filling, and cooked to perfection. For dinner Dough Zone Dumpling House offers five courses plus a drink for only $39, which is one of the most generous HRW menus I've seen. It's definitely worth trying, especially if you haven't dined here before. Of everything I've ordered my favorites were the green onion pancakes, pork & crab soup dumplings, chicken potstickers, and pan fried chicken wontons. I also really enjoyed the flavor of the hot and sour glass noodles just not so much the noodles themselves. Also whenever you're dining at Dough Zone the soup dumplings are ALWAYS a must! This is a great spot whether you're trying the HRW menu or dining from the regular menu. The prices are affordable, there's plenty of seating, a lot of drink options, and the restaurant is very clean. My only recommendation would be to improve the customer service and overall attentiveness.

I came to Pepper Twins to check out my nonprofit group's reservation and tried the famous dish…read more九葉花椒雞 Pepper Twins Chicken. My Executive Director recommended this restaurant because of convenience to Southwest Freeway and Loop 610. For being on Kirby, that's a well known area for restaurants. I chatted with a manager about the restaurant. Prior to Covid, there were 7 restaurants and this one on Kirby is the only one left. The interior is modern and classic. There are 2 areas can be divided into party rooms. But there aren't any walls, just drapes. There are several parking lots shared with Taco Cabana. I would say this is perfect for lunch and dinner parties. The sign on the building is not quite visible from the feeder road. But the sign above the entrance facing Kirby (behind Taco Cabana rather) is quite prominent. Getting out to freeway feeder road can be challenging during rush hour because the freeway exit is few yards away. GPS direction is also challenging from Northbound on 59. Make sure you are on the 2nd from the left turning lane. After making that left turn, there is not enough room to change lane. Or, you have to drive around the block to get here. Food was phenomenal. I ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea with the Pepper Twins Chicken. The fresh peppercorn was the highlight of the dish. The fresh serrano peppers added the spiciness to the dish. This dish has 2 pepper icons but it's not that hot. It numbs my lips at the moment but no lingering affects like mala Sichuan hot.

My memory of Mai's was this late night restaurant that you could get good Vietnamese food…read more Recently, I stopped by there to get some of these good memories, alas that wasn't the case today... I couldn't help but notice that there was only three people in the entire restaurant sometimes this can be the case with good places that have a lot of delivery or takeout. Also noticed that no matter where I walked in the restaurant my feet continued to slide on the floor I'm not sure if this is from grease not cleaning well enough or just what, I don't own a restaurant so I can't say. But it feels unclean. My food was overall very mediocre. You really can't mess up vermicelli noodles, but chicken was not tender, it was dry. It felt like something that had been sitting out. The egg rolls were OK, I've had better. The staff was friendly though. Overall after my meal I felt insanely bloated and unsatisfied. Needless to say this is not somewhere that I would end up going back and unfortunately in Houston, there are many better Vietnamese options.
