We have used them ever since they opened at their old location, and Nhi and her staff just keep getting better and better. LOVE IT!

It is so nice to be able to have a full home cooked meal ready in less than 30 minutes.... throw in a few microwavable steamed veggies and it's like you're back at Mom's. Making a month's worth of meals hardly takes any time at all when you arrive at dream dinners. All the stations are stocked and ready for you based on your order and the time slot you reserved. My wife and I working together can do 12-14 meals in just about an hour. I've done it by myself in about an hour and a half. I love the fact that because you're preparing everything yourself you can cater the recipe to your taste. Don't like olives? Skip it. Love garlic? Throw an extra scoop in there... The frequent buyers club is great too. We've been going here the last 7 months or so and every few bills we get a 10% and sometimes 20% discount. I figure each serving comes out to about $5-6 a person which is definitely cheaper than eating out and mostly cheaper than the grocery store. The quality of the meals is great. Usually 75% of them taste delicious and the other 25% are ok/good. Nothing has been bad. The owners are very friendly and the staff will always lend you a hand if you need it.

I was really sceptical when my girlfriend asked me to go to Dream Dinners with her. Why would I pay…read moreto hang out and do a chore I can do at home anyway? I'll tell ya why: because I can prep a whole month's worth of dinner in less than an hour, that's why! I chose to make 36 servings of food (3 or 6 servings of different entrees), which lasts my husband and I about a month, since we go out to eat and travel quite a bit each month. It cost about $155. At first that sounded pricey, but that's pretty much what we spend at the grocery each month anyway. The ingredients used are high quality and the recipes are very tasty. You choose your menu beforehand (it changes monthly, so you're never eating the same thing), and when you arrive, your little recipe and instruction sheets are already printed out for you. You simply go from station to station (there is one station per each menu item) and put your meals together. This involves measuring and mixing items, and putting them into the freezable containers provided. Like I said, mine took less than an hour, which is usually the amount of time it takes me to get in and out of the grocery store in a week. You bring everything home and just thaw out the meal you want to cook. Each meal takes 30 minutes or less to cook at home, but that's not active time for the cook - you typically just throw your meal in the oven or on the stove and let it go while you get other stuff done. There is a huge variety in the menu. We've had two kinds of pork chops, salmon, baked breaded cod, and a plethora of various chicken recipes. I don't eat beef and I prefer to cook healthy, so I check the handy nutritional info on each recipe before I place my order. Nutritional info is available online or in the store. If I wasn't concerned with calories, there are plenty of other recipes that really catch my eye! Our favourites have been the Kentucky Pork Chops, Sesame Seed Covered Chicken and California Chicken (a creamy casserole with tons of artichokes and tomatoes). Not a huge fan of the Chicken Marsala, but it was still edible, just not a favourite in our house. The owner is very sweet and remembers me from visit to visit. The facility is also clean...spotless...and they come in behind you at each station and clean up so you are always starting at a clean workspace. And you don't have to clean up your own messes, another bonus! They have a pretty nifty referral program and "frequent shopper" program that gives you a percentage off your order each month. If anyone reads my review and decides to give Dream Dinners a shot, please use me as your referral! Also feel free to send me a message with any questions this review didn't answer.

Even though I told him my parents weren't the most adventurous eaters, his dishes were unique takes on classics. My mom loved the second-course salad so much, she recreated it for a dinner she hosted for her friends. Robbie was responsive, timely, and most accommodating. When my parents had to cancel the original weekend due to an illness preventing them from traveling, he was most gracious in allowing us to pick another weekend. It's the little things that go a long way. If you're looking for a high end, custom meal, complete with beautiful dinnerware and a Chef with a great personality, Robbie is your guy.

Staff weren't too attentive, but you don't really need them to be since you're the one managing everything, so that's good! The place is quite spacious and very clean. There is a big tv wall that was showing football as well! We ordered the split pot with the tomato broth and spicy broth as well as the chicken and marinated beef. Both broths and meats were delicious. There's a wide selection of items in the buffet line from veg to seafood and dumplings etc. there's even pre prepared food like fried rice, noodles, chicken wings, and desserts. Overall, this was a great experience and we got out for two at about $65 which is pretty fair for the amount of food I was able to put down in the time we were there. Note: There is a 90 minute limit, but I presume they won't care if there's not too many people there.

My friend and I agreed that a celebratory hot pot was the perfect treat after our climbing sesh,…read moreand I've been meaning to try Happy Lamb for a while! Service was fast, and what seemed like a seemingly small building was actually bustling. We ordered the Best of Both Worlds option and requested the Spicy Bone Marrow along with the Tomato Broth; they complement each other quite well, with the Spicy Bone Marrow being our personal favorite. It is definitely spicy, but nothing that I couldn't handle. The Tomato Broth was delicious as well, but added a nice sweetness to our meal. We chose the Classic All-You-Can-Eat lunch deal, and ordered a plate of the Natural Prime-Aged Lamb, the Hand Sliced Beef Short Plate, the Marinated Garlic Beef, and the Pork Belly; I can't say I'm a huge fan of how they divided the meat selections, however, since I could get premium meat elsewhere without being limited. But overall, the meat was of decent quality, and the buffet offered various options. Compared to other hot pot places, they even had a section where you could serve yourself egg rolls, white rice/fried rice, and stir-fried noodles, though I can't speak to the quality... very much buffet-quality if you catch my drift, but still lovely nonetheless. Similarly, you can fetch your own iced drinks and dessert too. I do wish Happy Lamb's sauce station had special pre-made flavors or instructions for making them, much like Shabu Zone or Haidilao; sometimes I don't trust myself to freestyle my own sauce. There are some cross-contamination concerns as well, since there'd be about 4 tongs at foot/pants level, but at least 9 food options (e.g., noodles, dumplings, veggies) to choose from. Not sure if other people share the same sentiment, but I guess they all get boiled in the end anyway. Overall, it's a decent option if you're in Downtown Houston! But I wouldn't call Happy Lamb my go-to spot.

My apartment often has "Food Truck Thursdays", and this time, they had Foreign Policy…read more I almost forgot about it, but we get email reminders. They usually include the menu, but I didn't see one, so I went on their website and Yelp for menu/food photos. I need to see what I'm eating. Very much a visual eater. I also like to prep what I'm ordering. I like the Asian, American, and Mediterranean options. Oh and a Latin dessert. I was torn between the gyro and Korean fries. I love fries and Korean bbq, so I went with the Korean fries. I love that they used crinkle fries. It was a little drenched too much with queso that pooled at the bottom of the container. With all the queso, sauces, and Korean bbq flavors, I wanted the fries to balance out the saltiness. When I got home, I moved the fries to a different container to preserve some of the fries. Don't get me wrong, I love queso, and theirs is really good, but it was a little too much. Maybe if it had been spread onto a larger container to even out, it would've been better. My apartment gives discount vouchers, first come, first serve. They were giving out a $10 voucher which pretty much covers a meal. I got there earlier before they handed it out, so I paid for the fries. I thought they already passed out the 10. The assistant manager saw me and handed me one when I walked back in the building. So, I came back later for the churros and caramel sauce for dessert. The portions are a good size. I saved half my fries to save room for dessert. The churros were nice and warm and filled with dulce de leche, I believe. The caramel sauce was delicious to dip the churros in. The wait for the Korean fries and churros separately was about 5-7 minutes. Not bad. There was one person cooking and one taking orders. I enjoyed their food. The pricing is average for a food truck. I hope they are asked to come back sometime in the near future or if I see them at some event to order it again or try something else. Check them out if you see them around!

My family and I finally decided to check out this place when we were in the City of Bellaire area…read more The name sounded cute and the indoor casual/chill decor made it feel inviting & homey. The employee seemed like he was the only one and there was a couple dining in who seemed to be regulars after their farewells. I didn't realize it was a build your own bowl/sandwich/salad concept which I thought was unique! Everything was packaged nicely to go since we had to eat at home. I did make the mistake of not checking the order because we realized the pho broth wasn't included which was disappointing! I ended up not going back or calling to report it since I knew it would be too inconvenient to drive all the way back. After the kids refused it, I did try it vermicelli style but the steak was little too salty. The beef banh mi was good but the portion was much smaller than I expected compared to a traditional size. The eggrolls were also on the smaller side but were decent typically eggrolls. I also ended up trying the lychee lemonade but the flavoring wasn't as well balanced. Overall it was not as satisfactory as I would have hoped but wouldn't mind giving another chance to try other menu items like the pork banh mi or viet coffee. Edit after establishment's comment: I realized my misunderstanding of the menu of no broth included now. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy the steak as vermicelli and salad style as much either. Thank you for the clarification.
