    This is a true "hole in the wall" restaurant that I found by accident while close by. It is a Chinese restaurant that also serves fried chicken. Nee Hao is located next to a gas station and parking is available in front of the restaurant but can be crowded during lunch time. Their business is split between to go orders and dine in. Nothing fancy here. I decided to try the fried chicken and ordered at the counter the 3 piece special for $8.75 that comes with ham fried rice and an egg roll. Bottled drinks are $2 extra. Pretty affordable, right? The food was delivered less than 10 minutes later to my table in a styrofoam container. After opening it there was a large amount of food in there. The chicken looked great along with the very large serving of fried rice. The chicken wasn't completely hot along with the rice. Some parts of the chicken were barely warm while others were hot. It was edible but would have been sooo much better hot. Ditto on the ham fried rice. The egg roll was hot and delicious, I would have easily given this meal a 4 if the food temp was higher along with the fantastic value of the meal. Perhaps their Chinese food is good too as long as it is served hot,

    Food is great! The portions are amazing as well. The service is pretty fast and they also offer drive through. Ambiance is just ok but its not really one of those restaurants.

    Prices are a little bit higher but not by much

    I've gone back a second time & they still are my go-to Chinese food place. The amount of good food they give you, for the price, is top notch. I spent $25 on a chicken plate (3 wings, ham fried rice & egg roll and a large combination fried rice with an extra egg roll. Great service, good food, amazing prices! I highly recommend.

    The food is fantastic, the service is excellent and the Ambiance well, let's face it...you don't come here for the ambiance, do you? This place will feed you like crazy for $15! If you want ambiance you can eat somewhere else, pay twice the price and get half as much food. And it probably won't taste as good either.

    I love this place! It's been around for years and the food is awesome! The portions are massive and delicious! The owners are hilarious as well! It gets very busy at lunch and dinner peak times so give yourself some time. The price is good and the deal comes in how much food they give you! I will always go here

    General Tso's Chicken with Pork Fried Rice and an egg roll. Combo dinner.

    I ordered General Tso's chicken with the pork fried rice combo and I got so much food, I at twice with the one order. Chicken was ok, but the Rice was so freaking good. The place seems a bit run down but that's where you can find the best food usually.

    If you're from the East or West Coast, this is probably as close as you'll get to a classic House Special Fried Rice with chicken, pork, and beef. It won't taste like the version from back home, but hey--it's better than nothing. The flavors lean more toward a Mexican-Chinese fusion, giving it a homemade feel rather than a true-to-tradition taste. Portions: Decent, nothing to complain about. Service: * To-Go: The staff is always in a rush. You order, you leave--don't expect small talk or a warm welcome. * Dine-In: A small space with basic seating. On busy days, it feels cramped and a bit uninviting. Staff Interaction: If you're hoping to chat about Chinese cuisine or the menu, don't expect much insight--staff members don't identify as Chinese and aren't particularly engaged in those conversations. Parking: A mess. Reckless drivers everywhere. Would I recommend it? Sure, try it once. It's not life-changing, but if you're craving something kind of close to what you remember, it gets the job done.

    Shrimp fried rice

    New Hao. How are you? This mom and pop spot been around for over 20 years. It was my spot in the 20s with "momma" always yelling at us. It's Chinese American, basic, no frills food that will soothe all your cravings. They be busy. All the time. There is pick up (if you can get through on the phone), dine in and drive thru. Had not been in a long time but stopped by Saturday on the way home from Spring. Did the drive thru for the first time and ordered a large shrimp fried rice and a couple of orders of their fried vegetable spring rolls or so I thought. Misunderstanding left me with vegetable egg rolls which are not the same. The fried vegetable spring rolls are mini size (2 for $1). I also ordered a large wonton soup. I still had to wait 20 min so they had me pull into the front. The food: shrimp fried rice filled to the brim of the box. Shrimp count was less than before but still delicious. The egg rolls were better than expected esp with their red sweet and sour sauce. The win tonight soup was filled with Chinese veggies, char siu (Chinese bbq pork) and wontons. There isn't a lot of filling per se but still very yummy. Their menu looked the same. Combos etc. I forgot to ask for their chili sauce which was like crack. Addictive. Same owners. Cantonese. Nice people. Food came out piping hot. I live in the city so was about a 20 minute drive home and the soup was hot enough to burn my tongue. Def will stop again next time I'm in the hood. So many wonderful memories.

    From top to bottom, General Chicken, Pan Fried Dumpling (6), and Orange Chicken
    Samantha A.

    Service was fast and kind but we did arrive around 4:00 so that was well before any rush. Ordered the orange chicken and general chicken. Both were good but I probably wouldn't go again. Parking is really tight and few spaces. Also got the pan fried dumplings and they were okay. Lastly, you're by the airport so the area and space reflects that.

    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.

Pork Bao's are normally my daughter fave but the soup dumplings here are her favorite. She could finish an order on her own. The service is always great. As soon as you get in they give everyone a water and a carafe of more water. There is a QR code to order and you place your order on the phone. The order goes straight to the kitchen and you can add as you go if wanted. I always thought that was pretty cool. The owner came out to say hello and ask how everything is. She even brought out a small bowl of soup for my baby to enjoy. The waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I don't live close by but will make the trip when the craving hits.

Today was my lucky day because there was plenty of parking spots and seats (although the parking lot is very small). This place is great! I understand the hype for sure. When you walk inside it's just about the smallest restraunt I've ever. Very cozy and cute vibe with smooth jazz playing on a speaker and we got our food very fast. I really enjoyed my time here. Dry Fried Green Beans 5/5- these are the best green beans I have had in my life! I am not exaggerating like I will be thinking about these green beans all week. Do not hesitate to try these. Perfectly salty and good amount of crunch still left. The flavors they used are just perfect. Colorful Beef 4/5- The texture of the beef was so tender and not chewy at all like other places. The flavor was bright and the bell peppers were cooked through well. The issue I had with this dish was the sichuan peppercorns. I was just eating and not really looking at it super closely so I got a mouth full of these peppercorns and wow it was actually horrible. Just beware because the texture of these things are god awful and I think that they should be taken out like how a bay leaf is removed before serving. It was just really intense and it almost ruined the dish for me honestly. Other than that a great dish. My mouth was so numb but worth it. Dandan noodles 2/5- This was my first time trying this dish anywhere and I did not really enjoy it at all. The sesame flavor was really strong and it wasn't really salted at all. Very strange flavor. I will not order this again, however I do believe that the execution on this dish is great. There was a lot of sauce and the noodles were cooked well. I just really wish I liked the flavor of this dish and that's a personal problem. This dish also made my mouth numb but the flavor did not make it worth it. I wanted to like these so badly but I just couldn't do it. I will be back!
