    Sesame Chicken Lunch Special
    Stephanie L.

    This is my second time enjoying a meal from Ni Hao. Today I stopped in for a lunch special, to go. There are many options. Susan, was very friendly when I walked in the door. She provided some great suggestions to try. I was pleasantly surprised with my to go order of sesame chicken. It came with hot and sour soup, an egg roll, a fried chicken wing, broccoli, fried rice, a generous portion of chicken, and an iced tea. Everything was absolutely delicious. I was surprised that more people were not in for lunch. I have had other Chinese food in The Woodlands, but none as good as this restaurant. The staff is friendly and attentive, the restaurant is bright, beautifully decorated, and clean, and the food is great.

    The service was amazing since the moment we walked in the door. The ambiance was a vibrant and welcoming. We ordered what we usually get and tried some new things and everything was delicious. We already had a favorite Chinese restaurant but this one just took its place. The food is very fresh and flavorful. Don't miss out on a great meal!

    It wasn't perfect. But I gave them an extra star for the effort. First off I like how they have wonton crunchies on the table ready for you to eat when you sit down. They're spiced and delicious. I thought they'd be stale since every table literally had a bowl. But they weren't. I also loved how they brought out a bowl of hot and sour soup while looking at the menu. Really nice touch. They were out of a number of items. I saw they had green takeaway bags like Mi Mi's does but when we asked for a to go box they only brought out ordinary plastic bags. A bit disappointed there. But it's fine. The Dan Dan noodles is C3 (Spicy Noodles with Sesame Sauce Contain Peanuts /S CP). It looked so colorful online that I questioned whether it would taste any good. But it actually was quite tasty. It's served on a plate and not a bowl. The Taiwanese salt and pepper chicken D7 was pretty good as was the Crab Rangoon. $8 for 6 pieces was cheaper than MiMi and actually I like the taste better. The wonton was crunchier and not as thick as MiMi's. We also got the C2 Huainan beef noodle soup. Primarily because it was one of the few soups not labeled as spicy. It wasn't bad. We wanted to take it home and the waitress just gave us one of those takeout purse boxes. Pretty sure it would've soaked right through. So I asked and they actually do have plastic soup containers too. I really love the decor as well. It just looks like a hodgepodge of knick knacks collected including a British telephone booth of all things. My favorite are the many sakura trees.

    Hidden woodlands gem. Great food and service. Good menu selection and food came out quickly. Our server was so kind! We will be coming back for sure

    Lunch menu

    What a great find! We just had an enjoyable meal here. Driving up and down Gosling I might not have noticed it except there is a sign on the street and I came across it again on Yelp. The first nice surprise was the fact that they actually season the fried wonton strips, meaning you already have flavor when you go to dip it into the sweet chili sauce. Next we decided to try the shrimp tempura and that was cooked just perfectly, Mr. Picky loved it! I tried the lunch noodle combo plate because I was in the mood for lo mein. I ordered the mixed version and I have to say it was just a perfect balance of noodle, proteins and vegetables, absolutely perfect, not too much of anything. The hot and sour soup was included, I liked its earthy flavor. We like trying new things and so ordered the Brown Sugar Sticky Rice Cake with extra of the burnt sugar sauce, and we both liked the flavor and chew. Qi-Qi was our waitress and she bent over backwards to help us make selections and stay on top of servicing the table and asking what she could do. She was really great. The restaurant itself is a really cute kitch environment with pandas and cherry trees and more. Very fun. We will definitely be back next time we are in the mood for Chinese. I'll have to bring more people with me in order to try the Hot Pot meal :-). When you combine the food and atmosphere and service, I'd rate it a "4.5" and so I'm rounding it up to a "5".

    What a great place to have lunch at! Other than the food being really delicious and high quality, the service is also outstanding. The waitress was so incredibly kind and generous and truly made our meal experience so comfortable. The restaurant itself is really pretty inside: well lit, decorated with adorable pandas, and clean. And to top it all off, during lunch, the restaurant offers such great deals on food (2 adults got fully stuffed for $30). Definitely worth the drive - I will be back very soon!

    Crispy beef rolls
    Pedro Z.

    I've been to this place twice now. The interior needs a good clean and has a funny smell. The staff can be rood or really nice, depending on the day you go. The food is ok but nothing exceptional. The only thing I would go back for is the crispy beef rolls.

    Super real authentic Chinese food!! All fresh and super flavorful. Definitely a great experience. Did not disappoint

    Food was super good and fresh. Service was great and the place is clean and friendly. Will be coming back

    Dumplings
    Susan P.

    Back in the country and so the Noodle/dumpling tour continues. Excited to find this place not far from home and after eating there, I am ecstatic! This is noodles and dumplings done right. Tucked into a small non-descript strip mall, the hunt is worthwhile. Service is impeccable with a happy, jolly waitstaff checking in regularly. The decor is bright and eclectic, I mean Easter bunnies and butterflies? It's an intriguing landscape for the food. And the food...the beef noodles were so packed with flavor, I could have ignored the beef. Glad I didn't as it too was flavorful and tender. Dive into the appetizers as they are authentic, homemade and decidedly delicious. This goes to the top of my noodle house list.

    This place is super cute! Love that we don't have to drive to china town for authentic Chinese food.

    Unlimited unsweetened iced tea - $0

    Oh my goodness! When you know, you know! The lunchtime downpour of rain bought me into this new Chinese restaurant and so glad I checked it out. Immediately was greeted by Yvonne and she treated me like her very own family coming to visit. The iced tea came pouring (unlimitedly) and she recommended a dish that was super yummy and huge in portion. I also took home some noodles to hubby as he loves chow mein and he loves it! You must try this place - you will keep wanting to try everything on the menu!

    Sweet-and-sour chicken

    A Hidden Gem Worth Celebrating Ni Hao Chinese Cuisine If I had a Chinese grandmother, I imagine this is exactly what her home-cooked meals would taste like; lcomforting, deeply flavorful, and made with so much care. Although I'm Mexican and grew up with different flavors, the food at No Hao stirred that same feeling of nostalgia and love that only a home-cooked meal can bring. This was our first time visiting Ni Hao, and from the moment we walked in, we were met with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. It's a beautifully kept mom-and-pop restaurant--spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. Everything is so well organized, and the environment immediately puts you at ease. You don't feel rushed or like "just another customer." You feel welcomed, like family. We started with the Sweet-and-Sour Chicken, and wow! this dish set the tone. The chicken was so tender it practically melted in our mouths. Unlike most places that drown it in an overly sugary sauce, Ni Hao's sweet-and-sour was perfectly balanced, highlighting the crispy texture and natural flavor of the chicken without overpowering it. Next up was the Beef and Broccoli, and let me just say, it was divine. The beef flanks were buttery-soft, no knife needed, and the broccoli? A dream. Steamed just right, with a vibrant green hue that signaled freshness, and it had a wonderful al dente bite. Each forkful was a reminder that simple ingredients, when cooked with skill and love, can be absolutely unforgettable. Then came the Wonton Pork Soup, which we now consider a must-have. Every spoonful offered a depth of flavor that spoke of time, care, and tradition. The broth was light yet rich, not oily, and carried the essence of pork, green onion, bok choy, and other aromatics in perfect harmony. The wontons themselves were perfectly portioned, you didn't need to cut them to take a bite. The pork filling was flavorful and comforting. On a cold day, this soup would be the ultimate comfort, picture sitting by a fireplace with a good book and this bowl of warmth in hand. Yes, it's that kind of soup. As if that wasn't enough, the kind staff surprised us with a complimentary Hot and Spicy Soup. I had never tried anything like it before, it had tofu, assorted vegetables, and an unexpectedly gentle spice that wasn't overpowering. The flavors were subtle and soul-soothing. Again, perfect for a rainy day or anytime you're craving something warm and nourishing. We also ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice, which was another showstopper. Not only was it delicious, but the plating was stunning, with a beautiful caviar garnish on top that elevated the dish both in taste and appearance. Every bite was well-balanced, not greasy, and full of fresh shrimp and delicate seasoning. You could see and taste the quality of the ingredients. We shared all our dishes family-style, and for three of us, the portions were incredibly generous, we had plenty to take home and enjoy again later. Even the steamed rice was worth mentioning, my daughter, who's quite the rice connoisseur, loved it. Perfect texture, perfect flavor, no need for anything extra. I genuinely can't find a single negative thing to say. Not even of the price, I was shocked when we only received a bill of $60 for the three of us. Every dish was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Even if your eyes could taste the food, you'd already be impressed before the first bite. Check out the photos we've shared, you'll see exactly what I mean! To the team at Ni Hao: thank you. Thank you for putting your heart into every dish, for creating such a warm and welcoming space, and for giving us an experience we'll never forget. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. To anyone who hasn't tried Ni Hao yet. What are you waiting for? This is more than just a meal; it's a culinary hug, and you will not be disappointed. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, you're in for something truly special.

    First time visiting Ni Hao was such a pleasant surprise! Lunch specials include iced tea, soup, spring roll, fried chicken wing and a sesame roll. Food was delicious and service was fast and friendly. Hands down, the best Chinese spot in the area. Cant wait to go back.

    If there is one restaurant I will recommend over and over again, it's Bamboo House…read more I've traveled all over the world and have had the privilege of experiencing incredible cuisines from different cultures, but Bamboo House's Peking Duck remains my absolute favorite of all time. From the moment the duck arrives at your table, you know you're in for something special. The skin is perfectly lacquered--beautifully crisp with an irresistible golden sheen--while the meat underneath is unbelievably tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite is a perfect balance of crispy skin, succulent duck, fresh cucumbers, scallions, hoisin sauce, and warm pancakes. It's not just dinner... it's an experience. What I love most is the consistency. Every single visit, the quality is exceptional. The presentation is elegant, the flavors are authentic, and the attention to detail is second to none. You can truly tell that the chefs take immense pride in their craft. The service is always warm, attentive, and welcoming, making every meal feel like a special occasion. Whether it's a date night, celebrating with friends, or simply satisfying a craving, Bamboo House never disappoints. 5/5 Stars isn't enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. If you're anywhere near Houston and have never experienced their Peking Duck, you're missing one of the finest culinary experiences the city has to offer. It has become my personal gold standard, and after countless meals around the world, nothing has topped it. Thank you, Bamboo House, for continuing to serve what I genuinely believe is the best Peking Duck I've ever had. I'll keep coming back--and bringing everyone I know with me!

The duck is roasted for hours, so the skin comes out nice and crispy without being too greasy. I also like that the remaining duck is made into a soup afterward. It's simple, hearty, and especially good on a colder day. I've tried several other dishes here, and they've all been solid and remind me of the Chinese food I grew up eating. The servers have always been attentive and friendly, and the restaurant is spacious, so it's a good spot for family dinners or larger groups.

    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.
