    Came in for Sunday lunch as a family of four and was seated pretty quickly. Atmosphere: I don't usually comment on atmosphere/decoration/ambiance but they decorated this place in a way that was warm and inviting. It was brightly lit with some nice color here and there. Hot & Sour Soup ($2.50) Great bowl of hot and sour soup. It was only $2.50 so I figured I'd give it a try. Was a little bit smaller than I expected but was pleasantly surprised at the bamboo and wood ear mushrooms they put in it for extra texture and flavor. Would get again. Honey Walnut Shrimp ($19.00) I got this dish for my kids because they like shrimp, fried stuff, and sweet stuff. I was first surprised at how big the shrimp were and how many of the shrimp came. Few things to note are that the shrimp inside are actually not that big and it's mostly batter and the sauce is a bit spicy. As an adult, I enjoyed the extra kick but I did have to find something else to eat for my kids since the menu didn't actually specify that this was spicy. Green beans ($13.00) These green beans were not deep fried like what you'd expect to see so this was a nice change of pace. The beans were also not fibrous/old and had good flavor. Would get again. Beef noodle soup ($13.00) Loved the noodles in the soup. They stayed chewy for a long time in the soup. The soup itself was a tad too sweet and the meat was a bit too soft for me but that's just a personal preference instead of a ding. Much prefer the added sweetness and the softness of the meat than a one-dimensional flavor and under braised beef. Crispy beef roll 6 pcs ($11.00) Decent crispy beef roll. Nothing extraordinary but nothing disappointing about it either. Pork XLB 8 pcs ($12.00) This was, unfortunately, my least favorite dish. First, the price is quite high for XLB when compared to other Chinese restaurants so I expected these to be stellar. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the flavor inside (very simple flavor, could hardly taste the pork, and too sweet) and the wrapping was a bit too thick for my liking. Service was a bit spotty but it looked like it was because they were training new staff for the new location. Also FYI for those used to Chinese restaurants giving you a large amount/complimentary rice, they do charge $2 for a small bowl of extra rice and not all dishes come with rice. Going to give them the benefit of the doubt on a lot of things and give them a 4-star rating as well as try again once they are more settled.

    Saw MiMis had moved here so we had to try it as I love the other woodlands location. I think this used to be a dumpling and noodles restaurant. Inside was nicely done and they weren't too busy on a Wednesday night. Staff was really nice despite my incident below, and they were playing their own video on the TV monitor showcasing their food. We got some of our favorites. I'll note the differences with the other MiMi's for comparison. First the Dan Dan noodles - what's going on here. There wasn't much meat to begin with but what little there was came in a small clump of meat. I posted a video of me piercing it and shaking it around on my chopstick. On the inside it was refrigerator cold. I showed the Chinese waitress and she insisted that's how it's supposed to be. I told her I don't remember it being like that at the other location because we've ordered it before there and I also showed her the picture of the meat in the menu which had the meat spread out nicely and not in a cold lump like this. We went back and forth about what Dan Dan noodles are supposed to be like because she seemed convinced that was the norm and I, having been on a mission to sample every Houston restaurant's dan dan mien a few years ago, and having also lived in Chengdu, just really found it hard to believe what she was saying. Eventually they agreed to remake the dish but all the while they maintained their position that this was in fact how it's supposed to be made and I was the crazy one that they had to go out of their way to make a special accommodation for. It kind of left a sour taste in our mouth because honestly it felt like one of those places that has made a mistake but then flips the situation around so you look like the unreasonable one. And it really also sucks when you as a customer are paying to be gaslit like this. So MiMi, I know you read these reviews. Why don't you tell us what you think? Is that really how you too think this dish is supposed to be made? And you know, your silence kinda means yes you agree with your staff. And if that's what you honestly believe, hey it's fine. I can't say I can ever personally recommend this dish then, as served here, to others in good conscience. But at least on the positive side I suppose I will have a good story to tell the next time I order Dan Dan mien somewhere, and I've also got a whole new benchmark for the dish! The crab rangoon was a little skimpy on the filling at this new location. The Taiwan popcorn chicken was a little overcooked and tough. But the star of the night was the pork xiaolong bao which was fantastic. Taro boba was ok as well. Food came out super quick which was impressive. Maybe it's because they didn't bother defrosting the meat. Haha. Ok it's funny but not at the same time. Anyhow, I'm glad they moved to my neck of the woodlands. The distance was making me more hesitant to visit. I hope they can get the kinks out at this new shop so we can return someday.

    The food was very good!…read more I was hesitant at first because some of the menu seemed to be fusion items. In a place like Houston, where you can get authentic Vietnamese food, this can be a luck draw if the fusion pays off. However, when I tried the food, it was a very flavorful and worth every cent I spent. Everything was very tasty. The wings were flavorful and crisp. It had a combination of crispy skin seasoned with a rich sauce. The meat was also moist. For a party of two, it was also very shareable because they gave six pieces -both drums and wings. I will say that you really gotta to get in there get your hands and face dirty though! (They did provide a hand wipe!) For the main dishes, the won tonic soup was very flavorful with sweet-and-sour elements with egg noodles that soaked up all this good flavor. The wontons inside were very standard. And the onion was added to provide some balance. Everything was very hardy and filling. My friend had gotten the vermicelli. Which came with crunchy egg rolls, shredded veggies, noodles, and shrimp topped with a fish sauce. It felt very light and refreshing with a balance of textures and savory elements'. Highly recommend as the number one and two selling dishes - it would just depend on if you're in a soup or dry noodle sort of mood. Service was overall fast and friendly. You have to pay by going to the counter. We had a newer waiter though, and it took him a long time to get our orders correctly and he had to get some help. Hopefully they're doing well, but overall, it's a very cute Homie little establishment. Seating fits around 30 around booths and tables.

The food is in the back along with a shrine to the Dragon Ball series. Got the fried calamari and although it tasted like it could've been out of a frozen bag it did not disappoint at only $7. The chocolate egg roll was good too but you just get one for $4 and it's small. Not a good value proposition. The noodles are select your noodle, broth, protein and veggie. We got the Thai coconut curry base because we knew it was a sure fire winner (always is). Udo noodles, brisket and bok choy. The brisket was kinda meh and tough.

It's definitely a lot different than the other location as it is a shared space. There were a couple people waiting for their meal so it took a little longer than I anticipated. I ordered the Texas Twinkie, Brisket Mac and Strawberry Shortcake Eggrolls as well as the Chicken Potstickers. All of the Eggrolls were soggy and definitely not made to order. It was very disappointing as I have had them before and enjoyed it. The Chicken Potstickers were okay but nothing worth bragging on. I had a couple bites of each but ended up throwing it all away. Customer service and food quality were both lacking. I really wanted to add this to my food rotation :-(

I've done Peking…read moreCuisine for years and shifted to Arco for my duck cravings, but if you're willing to drive out to Humble (pretty much anytime you're in the IAH area), you gotta check out Bamboo House for the best Peking duck. And their other menu items are fire as well! We went on a Sunday late evening. We had a 9 pm airport pickup at IAH so it was a perfect opportunity to grab a spectacular dinner and make the 30+ minute drive out to IAH totally worth it. Parking lot wasn't too full so that wasn't an issue. While the neighborhood ain't River Oaks luxury, it ain't too scary either. We kept it simple - ordered a whole duck and Bamboo House Special Noodle with Beef. This place ain't cheap but the food is worth every penny. It was very busy that evening so it's not a well-kept secret but also proves that eventually, Houstonians will figure out where the good food is. The duck was near perfect. They serve the duck with the pancakes (as opposed to the buns like at Arco) which is my preference. The soup that comes with it was also extremely flavorful. And the house special noodles with beef - oh my. I swear it's just one really long noodle so you may be frustrated trying to divvy up the family style bowl, but the labor is worth it. So good... Can't wait for my next airport run so I can sneak in a lunch or dinner at this place. So many other menu items I want to try!

I had previously visited the now closed Bamboo House on Westheimer and I remember being impressed by the food. I had to make an airport run and decided that it would be perfect timing to stop by this location. I highly recommend ordering the duck ahead of time, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the last ducks when we arrived around 7 pm on a Sunday evening. The waitress was super friendly and upbeat and the restaurant is older but well maintained. You can see where the food is being prepared/cooked and you can see ducks being cooked/warmed behind a glass window. The duck was absolutely spectacular with the perfect seasoned and tender meat accompanied by well rendered crispy skin. I love how the pancakes are paper thin and pair well with the scrumptious duck and other toppings. They also provide sugar and plum sauce as additional toppings which I thought was interesting but not my cup of tea. The duck soup was extremely flavorful and full bodied and went well with the duck. The noodles were also amazing with likely hand pulled noodles served with an abundance of tender beef and vegetables with a little Sichuan kick. I was intrigued by a strawberry chicken dish that I saw on the menu and I plan to try it the time. My diagnosis: hands down the best Peking duck in the greater Houston area!
