    Mi Chef is next to Mo Convenience (notice all trucks)

    Mi o mi, I want mo. Just south of FM 1960 is a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant in a strip mall (next to Mo's) that serves delicious home-cooking specials, evidently by a real chef. I ate lunch here, and several regulars attested to how good the food is here. One of the attractions is that the daily special changes all the time. The rest of the menu has many interesting items I would like to try. But today was Special. Tilapia grilled and covered with a creamy herb sauce and on top of mild brown rice was the special of the day. For $7 you get that plus vegetables (broccoli and carrots) and a hot roll. The fish was fresh and cooked right, the portion size was medium-large, the sauce was tremendous and that made the dish special. The lunch was so good, I decided for a muffin for dessert. Apple bits in it, fresh, moist inside, and it was very good. Scenic tour: You have to go through a narrow (due to catering gear and a car tire) hallway and through the back of the kitchen to get to the one bathroom (which was well-kept). I got to see them washing fresh vegetables in the kitchen. I suspect breakfast is good here, too.

    Jeez! Time goes by fast! I was at this wonderful place a while ago! Small place that you would miss if you don't know the area. Mi friend Norma N. Who teaches at the North Harris College, which is practically next door, suggested the spot. I came driving from 1960, took Aldine Westfield and almost missed the place. By the way is in the same shopping strip where the Citgo gas station is. Mi Chef is runned by Cheff Mark, a cool guy that would remind you of your good buddy in grade school (he reminded me of Jaen B.) You can see the kitchen from the counter, and that is as good "first look at a clean place" as you get. The food is crafted almost before your eyes without the "run-through-the-factory" feeling. Just behind the counter, you will see how you sandwich is put together with fresh ingredients carefully layered. Sauces came from the morning churn, not from a can. Ask for the soup of the day, and be sure to greet Mark!

    Amazing food, service & people here. Never disappoints.

    See all

It was a good quantity of food for the price Service I was seated promptly and my server was Millie. She got every thing correct and checked on me a few times. Millie checked me out with a portable iPhone looking device. I paid the amount by credit card. The credit card never left my hands which is a great security plus. Ambiance The restaurant is located on the feeder road to I-45, it's not a pretty location. Inside the restaurant has big windows, it's airy and quite pleasant atmosphere. The kitchen is visible to diners. I noticed that an employee was emptying out trash bins and sweeping the floor. The restaurant is very clean. Thank you Black Bear

    Wanted to try something different from our regular breakfast place across the street. That was a…read moremistake. It took an inordinate amount of time to be seated (and the place wasn't busy ... peering into the dining room there were only two other tables tots had guests). It took a long time to have a waitress come to us after we were seated and she seemed to be in engaged. Long gaps between water and juices being delivered and ordering of the food. The kitchen was relatively fast, but it just seemed like the entire service crew was moving in slow motion and seemed like they really didn't want to be there or serve their guests. Food was ENTIRELY unremarkable and didn't taste very good. Won't be back.

    My husband and I went for the first time a couple weeks ago after church and it was great!…read more My husband had a chorizo and egg taco, potatoes and egg taco, and the bacon and egg taco. I tried each one and these tacos reminded me of my hometown! The chorizo was the best one. I ordered a side of hash browns and strawberry cheesecake pancakes. Let me start with the hashbrowns first of all they were nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside honestly, the best hashbrowns I've ever had. I added a little ketchup and some pepper and it was a 10 out of 10. Don't get me started on the pancakes. I literally felt like I was eating a strawberry fluffy cheesecake. It was so good. I did not want to stop eating them, but they were amazing and since I didn't finish them, I brought them home and left them in the fridge and ate them the next day and it's like I was literally eating cake. So delicious. One thing to know about going to this place is it does get pretty packed in the morning. The service isn't too fast, but it's understandable because they do have a lot of customers in there so just keep that in mind but other than that, everybody was really nice and very welcoming. Also, it's really nice and clean in there a little crowded but clean. Overall, I think you should definitely get this place a try. I definitely need to go again to try the other items.

Breakfast cost us about $10 less than when we go to other chain places. When you have the choice of hashbrowns or country potatoes, get the country potatoes. They're cheesy and delicious. My scrambled eggs were not overworked. I hate that. Fluffy and delicious just like the pancakes. The cooks know what they're doing and the wait staff is very nice. The only complaint that I can come up with is I'm not a big fan of added sugar to my pancakes. But I know people love their sweet stuff. We'll be back.
