    Service was a 10/10. The vegetales on the make your own bowl table were fresh and delicious. I also loved the spiciness of the crawfish roll. The ambiance was peaceful and quiet. We will definitely be back!

    From the Happy Hour menu: Lemon pepper wing combo with fries, Spicy Edamame,and Gyoza.

    On January 17,2026, Me and my friend wanted to our sushi fix. Our waiter shared that they had a new Happy Hour menu ,so I decided to order all my food and drinks from that menu . Also, our waiter was very friendly and gave us amazing service. The ambiance was warm and inviting ,and also they played good music for everyone to listen too. Mongo, will always be that prefect place to for affordable good food, and great drinks hands down!!!

    I have never reviewed this place, but it is an oldie but goodie. I have been here several times and it never disappoints. Happy is , stir fry is fresh, and sushi is delish. I usually sit at the bar and Joe is an awesome bartender. My fave drink is the Lycee Martini. Nothing too great about the decor, but it's clean and plenty of seating. I personally like to make my own bowl with Pad Thai noodles or rice. Another good option is their combo. You have your choice of sashimi, sushi, or roll.

    This is another new spot for me! Service was great and the quality of the food was amazing and very flavorful!!

    This is a large, open restaurant with booths and tables. You can order bowls off the menu or go up and choose your ingredients. Our server, Rana, was quite helpful as this was our first time here. We had stuffed jalapeños as an appetizer and it was yummy. Hubby had the Mongolian seafood bowl and I had the Thai pepper beef bowl. Both were quite delicious as was my peach margarita. We will be back.

    Daily happy hour everyday. Came with hubby and son. Food was good but drinks are a no. Water taste funny and first sprite was brown, second one had black stuff floating in it. Flavor lemonade are no refills. But rice is delicious.

    Met up with a couple of friends Thursday night for their all day happy hour and sat at the bar. The service at the bar was great. The bartender was very attentive. I tried the Mongo Tea, which is their version of a Long Island. Truthfully it was a little weird to me as I didn't read the ingredients and thought it was a regular Long Island. They put tea in theirs and I'm just not a fan. It was my fault though for not reading the obvious ingredients on the menu. Moved to rum and Coke after that and it was good. As far as the food... I ordered eggrolls as an app and they were good! Yummy. Ended up going with the chicken hibachi and I was just ok. Not really what I was expecting as I usually get chicken hibachi at Sakura and it's soooo different at mongos. They don't use a lot of seasoning, if any, and their white sauce is like water. My friends had the chicken friend rice and wontons and said they were good. The restaurant was nice and clean. Bathrooms were clean. Atmosphere was good. I'll definitely be back. Just not for hibachi.

    Mango Martini

    The bartender Joseph provided great service. I ordered the crunchy roll cooked for $7 and a mango martini from the happy hour all day menu and both were yummy. I've been coming here on and off for a while and the drinks are always strong. It's a good place to stop in and grab a drink or affordable food before or after you shop. The place and welcoming and the service is pretty good. I recommend it.

    We randomly stopped in to check out this place as we never been. I do have to say , " the food was Good, the service was fast , and the meals were at an affordable price. This night, we opted for sushi , drinks and appetizers, which was very good . We figured , we would try it out first before we go for dinner. Pleasantly, the food was fresh , hot and had great flavor . Our service was great as well. Next time, I plan to explore the dinner menu. This to me deserves 4 stars as I had no issues with the service, comfortability, food or pricing.

    Decided to try this due to the eat drink HTX 2024 special. We were able to get 3 courses for $25! What a steal! The process was very easy and the waiter was attentive to our needs. Definitely a nice restaurant for a date night. We went to the bar to make our bowl, when our table was clean. That is the only reason why I am giving this restaurant 4 stars. Our appetizers were gone as well as our drinks. The waiter was so nice that he refilled our drinks and appetizers. Overall, it was a good experience.

The restaurant has two locations in Houston, and the one near Chinatown offers plenty of parking and a recently renovated, clean and bright dining space. There are also private rooms with a traditional style atmosphere. The buffet area is very well stocked with a wide variety of vegetables, tofu, noodles, meatballs, and even seafood. There are also extra side dishes, including crispy fried chicken, which is especially good. There are four soup bases to choose from, including original bone broth, spicy broth, sour tomato, and herbal style. The broth is simmered for over six hours using beef bones and chicken, giving it a rich flavor with a slight cumin aroma. The meat selection is impressive, including wagyu beef, lamb slices, Angus beef, chicken, and several marinated options. The higher tier even includes wagyu for under 30 dollars, which is excellent value. Overall, this is one of the best value all you can eat hot pot spots in Houston with consistent refills, good quality, and a wide variety of options.

We've previously enjoyed doing the best of both worlds pairing, but since they've added Tom Yum, we now do the pot split 3 ways. The self-serve buffet always has fresh veggies and seafood choices. Our favorites include the spinach, bok choy, shrimp, clams, sweet potato, corn, and pumpkin. I think they've done away with the lobster balls which used to be my favorite, but I've since switched to dumplings which are tasty. I love the items from the hot bar- the orange chicken is yummy. The service here is always attentive and friendly. Hot Pot here always hits.

We ordered the boiled sliced fish in hot sauce (a staple we always get at Szechuan restaurants) and the sizzling with three delicacies (shrimp and fish). The sauce on seafood meal was sooo good! I'm not sure if it's oyster sauce or bean sauce but it's amazing. I just poured the sauce on the white rice and literally ate it like that too. It was a bit cold inside the restaurant so we ordered some hot green tea to warm us up too. Over all great price for a delicious lunch.

    Szechuan Spice is a solid go-to for quick, flavorful Chinese food in the Houston/Pearland area…read more Customer service stood out right away the host was very welcoming, patient, and took the time to answer all of our questions. Since we ordered takeout, they even offered us a place to sit while we waited, which I appreciated. Here's what we ordered: * House Lo Mein - $14.99 * Stir-Fry Flat Noodles w/ Beef - $13.99 * Sweet & Sour Pork - $15.99 * Crab Cheese Puffs - $5.59 Total came out to about $54.74, which is pretty reasonable for the portion sizes and variety. The food overall was flavorful and fresh. The noodles were cooked well and had a nice balance of sauce without being too heavy. The sweet & sour pork had that classic crispy texture with a bold sauce. The crab cheese puffs were decent crispy on the outside and creamy inside but I do wish they had a little more crab flavor to really elevate them. One small detail I loved: the to-go bags. They were sturdy, well-designed, and matched the restaurant's aesthetic definitely gives that extra polished touch. Overall: Great service, solid food, and good value. Perfect for a casual takeout spot when you want something quick but still quality.

    Food: 3.8/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4/5 I was really excited to get to try out this place and this was a fairly good first impression. Whenever we walked in for dinner around half the tables were full of people and service was still very fast. The interior of the restaurant is nice but nothing too standout from other Chinese restaurants. We got cream cheese puffs, house spicy wide noodle soup, a chicken dish, soup dumplings, cream baos , and a fish dish, and all of it was fairly good. My least favorite was the cheese puffs, which were incredibly hot but I didn't find much very special about either the filling nor the crunchy wrapper. My next critique is their handmade noodles. It is personal preference, but I prefer my noodles to be a lot more chewy and on the more al dente side of things, rather than the more soft noodles we got (both the wide and the original noodles). As for what I liked, it was just about everything else we got. The house noodle soup was nice and comforting, not being super heavy but still carrying good flavor (I would ask for the regular version and add in spice after tasting the broth). Both the fish and chicken dishes that we got were very interesting and I especially enjoyed the lightness of the fish dish. The soup dumplings we got were very flavorful, well balanced, and had a very bouncy yet soft wrapper texture. The cream baos, though admittedly lacking some vanilla and texture consistency across each bao, were still really good and comparable to ones you'd find in Bellaire. Overall, my experience was fairly good and I would go here again if I find myself in the Pearland area.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.
