I typically am not a huge fan of certain chinese foods that have a lot of mala or cumin flavor so I…read morewas hesitant to try this spot for skewers. However, they have late night hours which is sometimes a bit hard to find and I found myself here one night. The restaurant is on the smaller side but both times I've come there's been no wait They have a good range of skewers but also large dishes to share. Food: Spicy sichuan intestine hot pot: if you like intestines this is really good with rice Dry Pot Spicy Pork Intestine: sauteed with chinese cauliflower and peppers, this is also good Cumin Beef: not too heavy on the cumin Salt Pepper Prawn: the prawns are huge and are super crispy so you can eat it shell on. i love the cilantro and fried garlic pieces on top Eggplant and greenbean: standard dish Beef tendon skewer: good texture Lamb skewer: not too gamey or tough Chicken gizzard skewer: enjoyed this as well Grilled scallops: lots of garlic, topped with vermicelli Grilled enoki mushroom: this was really good Overall, the service is fast and the food is good. The skewers are flavorful and not too heavy on numbing spices that overpower other flavors. It's definitely one of my go to late night spots for either a snack or a full dinner

My friend was hyping up King Bakery so I'm glad we finally gave this low-key spot a try. This…read morehumble bakery had a great selection of different pastries like egg tarts, dessert buns, and moon cakes. The parking in this plaza is oftentimes crazy, but the pastries here are worth trying! It's clean inside. Staff was fine. I'm not sure if they take card since we paid cash. (After reading other reviews, I think it's cash only.) We ordered a pineapple bun and a couple of egg tarts. The pineapple bun had a flaky crust and good flavor. The egg tarts were yum too. Everything we got was the perfect sweetness level. Not too sweet, of course!

1. Service - friendly staff and very attentive…read more 2. Price - roughly $10-$15 a plate for a main entree. Peking duck was $30 for a half duck and $60 for a whole duck. 3. Ambiance - there's red wallpaper with a modern flare, chandeliers with warm colored lights, and an industrial vibe. There are booths as well as regular tables and chairs. This is a good place for a date or a hang out with friends and family 4. Food - Try the PEKING DUCK (Northern style). It's served with crunchy skin and 12 pancakes (more like crepes), which also comes with soup. The duck soup is thin with bok choy and some bean sprouts. Also would recommend their STIR FRIED GREEN BEANS, and their SALTED EGG TOFU. When it comes to Peking Duck, I prefer the Cantonese style that comes with Bao. But this is more of a Beijing style of Peking duck where it originated. I've never had Salted Egg Tofu in my life. While it is an interesting concept, it was pretty tasty. The tofu was dipped in egg yolk before it fried. 5. Cleanliness - dining area appears clean and in tip top shape. No dirty plates lefts out on tables. SUMMARY If you are looking for Northern Chinese style dishes, check out this place. I came here not knowing what to expect except I knew I wanted some Peking duck. I'm glad I was able to check them out. I recommend this place and would definitely come back.

Peking Impression is one of the more premier places for Peking Duck. There aren't many restaurants…read morearound that serve it, but I've heard many good things about this place. Parking was a headache. Even the garage parking was all filled. We reserved a spot for 6:30 pm on a Saturday for a full peking duck, but our friends came a little earlier and got seated at a big round table. We had a table of 5. Some waitress lady told us to get up and sit in a booth that can only comfortably sit 4 people. Asian institution so communication between the staff is poor. Another waitress who I told we had reservations for 5 people, immediately put us back to the large table. Really guys? All that for what? Either way, since the duck was pre-ordered, they brought out the duck soup first which was actually quite tasty. It was a great way to open up the meal as an appetizer, setting the stage up for the duck itself. They brought out duck skin with the traditional crepes, along with hoisin sauce, green onion and cucumbers. I was fairly impressed with the whole get it. It was delicious of course. We scarfed down a good amount between 5 of us and still had left over. We ordered the usual fair of veggies, lo mein, onion pancake to fill up the rest of our stomachs. All of which are fairly well portioned out. The onion pancake was totally deep fried and reminded me of some sort of thick chip. I'm not in favor of this, but I guess it works? Overall service was good for Asiatown. The biggest surprise at the end of the night was it was $25 a person when we split the bill for 5 people. I figured it would be a lot more, but it was quite affordable. Yay for pricing! If I'm ever in the mood for Peking Duck, this would be the place to come back to. Just remember this is Asiatown and there were be stupid shenanigans you gotta to put up with.

Hello, my name is Alexus and I'm an addict!! It's my new fave breakfast spot. My go to order is the…read moreeel roll, fried bread stick and cold soybean milk! I've tried the traditional roll and that's good too. They make their own soybean milk in house. You can get it hot or cold. I'm an early bird and like that they're open at 7am. Weekend mornings can be busy. They do accept cards with a $10 minimum, but bring cash just in case. I've been here when the machine was down (plenty of banks and ATMs nearby). The ladies are very sweet, some have limited English. Let's not forget the cute little bag they give if you're purchasing a lot (unsure if there's a dollar limit you need to spend). There's a few tables to dine in. I definitely want to try others items when I'm not rushing in the AMs. The location has a shared entrance with Happy Zone.

We opted for the Tao roll and the pancake. The Tao roll is a bit hard to eat and pretty messy but overall worked well with all the different items. The pancake was also similarly messy but still tasty. Much more of a to go kind of place but the food was tasty and definitely something different. Will have to try their other options!

Maybe I'm not use to Korean soups but they're so bland. Even with the banchan. I had the spicy pork belly plate and the beef or pork cabbage soup. I'm also not big on meat and it had a lot of meat no noodles in the soup. Broth was slightly bland. My sister's soup was like sippin on water--light broth with noodles. Overall not too impressed but happy I tried it!

The kimchi just brought me so much comfort like I never left home and the noodles were so delicious. The right texture and the amount of vegetables in there made me feel real good and tingly inside. Service was great cuz looks like the owners run the spot so you know it's A+++ on service The ambiance is modern, hip with the classic wood touches and seeing their noodle making machine to prove they make their noodles - no store bought noodles - made five months ago with preservatives and chemicals. Just your classic flour and water and etc. and you can taste the quality of the noodle & chicken broth in the soup. U cannot fake quality ... cannot MDK has the best kimchi and traditional kkal gook su. 100%.

We went in at 11:30 AM on a Saturday - while the sign said they were open and the lights were on,…read morethere was not a soul in the restaurant - not even an employee. I went to the back and there was an employee who said sit wherever you would like. Hardly a propitious start. It only went uphill from there! Service was excellent - the waiter explained the menu to us - food, obviously all cooked to order, took about 10 minutes. Food was brought out as it was prepared so we got our lunch entrees at different time (within a few minutes), but we were sharing so this was good. My daughter loved the steamed pork dumplings. The savory pancakes with bulgogi were outstanding. This is not my area of time, so it took us about 20 minutes to get there - ample parking. A huge number of restaurants in this strip center area - you should explore.

I'm a big fan of CHICHA San Chen, and I've had the chance to visit locations in Southern California…read moreas well as the headquarters in Taiwan, so I was really excited to try the Houston location. I'm happy to say that the quality did not disappoint! What I love about CHICHA San Chen is that each drink is freshly brewed to order. Rather than preparing large batches of tea ahead of time, the tea is brewed individually when you place your order using their signature tea-press technology. You can really taste the difference--the tea is fragrant, fresh, and flavorful. My absolute favorite is the King Bubble Black Tea with Cream. The combination of the rich black tea, creamy topping, and chewy king pearls is just SO good! I was also pleasantly surprised that the Houston location still offers the Taro Series. The taro drinks are another favorite of mine, and it's wonderful to see that Houston has kept this part of the menu. After visiting CHICHA San Chen in different places, I can honestly say that Houston holds up beautifully. The tea quality, fresh preparation, and overall experience are exactly what I have come to expect from the brand. CHICHA San Chen never fails to deliver! If you're a serious tea or boba lover, this is definitely worth a visit.

We had to wait a little in line but the service was fast! The tea tastes great and I like the cup they serve it. I appreciate that they offer your sweet level and ice level you prefer. And the prices are reasonable compared to other places I've visited. You see families of all ages come into this place, as it's shown in social media it definitely brings a crowd. One nice addition that I saw was a Photo Booth and tea tasting station! You don't have to worry about parking as it's located in a strip mall so there's quite a bit of spaces. Overall I enjoyed my time and would like to try other tea options here.

Even with the self ordering the employees were still attentive and interactive to make sure you get what you needed. Food was good and well priced too! ** steak tiger cry - 4.5/5 Steak was soooo good especially with the crack sauce. The steam rice was amazing with this and made well. (I judge places based off their jasmine rice as some taste cheap) I wished there was an option to choose sticky rice with this instead but maybe I could have asked. ** crispy chicken skins - 4/5 The crispy chicken skins were really good and came with the sticky rice which I think it's best side with since you can grab a bit of rice and skin to dip in the sauce and nom. It was good but I'm not sure if i'd get it again unless I'm really craving for it but I think there's better on their menu. ** papaya salad - 4.5/5 Love love love the papaya salad and all the veggies they chose with it. It's all the veggies I mainly want in my papaya salad. The only thing I would like is that if they made it spicier. I did get the highest spice but it was not spicy enough for me. The papaya salad is a must for a side with the main dishes.

Service was friendly and answered all my questions. Note: When you sit down scan the QR code on the table to view the menu, order and pay. We decided to order: MEKONG CALAMARI 10/10 Fresh Squid, battered and fried in our famous Mekong in-house seasoning. Tossed in garlic, onions and fried basil. Crispy outside and tender inside. Seasonings were on point very flavorful. THAI MORNING GLORY (SPINACH) 8/10 Stir Fried fresh morning glory (water spinach), seasoned with garlic, chillies, soy sauce and delicious seasonings. Topped with fried garlic. Tender greens and nicely flavored. STICKY BASIL FRIED RICE 9/10 To me sticky rice is comfort food... chewy rice that feels like it will stick to your ribs. It's mixed with savory morsels of pork belly and asian sausage. Toss in a house made sauce. STEAK TIGER CRY 9/10 Marinated sous vide picanha cut steak, sliced and served with our sweet, savory lime sauce. Some pieces of meat slightly overcooked but all pieces were tender and flavorful. When the meat was paired with the savory lime sauce it kicked up the flavor to another level. Casual dining good for family, friends and dates On a busy day... parking is bad. There are limited spaces right in front of the strip center. There is an adjacent parking garage but on a super busy day that can also be a challenge.
