    Peking duck
    Patricia T.

    Went in with really high hopes for the Peking duck, but ironically did not leave an impression. The pancakes that came with it were stale/hard in the middle so unfortunately it did basically tear in half by the time you stretch it out and put in the duck, cucumbers, sauce, etc to make the wrap. The duck soup was also super bland. It's like the cook forgot some seasoning to give it some flavor. The garlic shrimp with vermicelli was alright. Maybe a bit better than the Peking duck if we're going to be honest, but It wasn't memorable enough for me to come again for it. Service was great though, the two ladies that were working were sweet and friendly. They're able to speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and Vietnamese so perfect if you want to take your older family members.

    The inside looks plain and it has tables and a few table booths. It just has more of an outdated type of vibe for me. The Peking duck is the best though. It was cooked just right nice and tender with the crispy skin. We were also given some soup and that was bland. I tried their green leafy spinach looking vegetable and that was hard and crunchy and normally they would be softer than that. They tasted like they might have been old. The kung pao chicken has nice elements and looked good. However, after tasting it, it was also bland and tasteless. I could barely taste the heat from the chilis. The cucumbers were also light on the flavor. The service was good. The lady that took care of us gave us really nice hospitality and even boxed up our food.

    Came for the Peking Duck! Was able to be seated right away on a Saturday evening. Ordered the 1/2 Portion Peking Duck to feed 3 people and it was just the right amount. They serve it with the "tortillas" style with the duck and all the fixings. I would say the skin was pretty good, but wish there were meatier parts to it. The soup was included in the set and was really good/hearty. Also got some stir fried green beans (must order), smashed cucumbers (very garlic-y delicious), Mongolian beef (this was okay) and a spicy tofu dish (really spicy). The meal also came with a pot of white rice to share family style as well. Service - was attentive Seating - good amount of seating indoors, probably won't be good for large parties though Parking - within the plaza or garage

    Very good Peking duck for the price in Houston! We got a full duck for 3 people; It's probably best for 4 people and ordering extra pancake wraps would not be a bad idea! The duck soup (comes with a Peking duck order) was very comforting and complemented the duck well. The scallion pancake was very crispy and good value, but I would order it for takeout instead because the duck alone is very oily :)

    We had 8 adults and two children under 5 with us. We ordered: Full Peking Duck and it came with soup - they use the pancake style and every adult had 2-3. We did not need to add extra sauce or pancakes. The Duck soup had the clear noodles in it. But minus one full star because we did find a piece of plastic in there. Very concerning... luckily, it was in one of the adults bowls and not the kids. Stir fry lamb - it's about equal parts veggies and meat. The lamb tastes off. Mapo tofu- has a slight spiciness to it but was a good comfort dish. Scallion pancakes- super crispy and tastes great with orange chicken. Orange chicken - in the sweet side and its chucks of delicious meat. Bok choy- our vegetables dish of choice. Good plate cleanser in between strong flavored dishes. I'm on a low carb diet so this was a good alternative to rice for me. I would get the scallion pancakes, orange chicken, and bok choy again. Mapo tofu for those who like a slight spicy kick. The Peking Duck is debatable. I like the breadier version instead of the pancakes. But I liked the fact that the duck isn't overly greasy. As for service, it was alright. They did great with the kids. But there was some miscommunication regarding food. We had a dish that we thought was taking forever to make, but it turns out they never place it in the order and said that we didn't ask for it. As for water it was off and on, sometimes we had ask for more refills and other times they came back for it. As for the dining room. The table and chairs were stable. The lighting and noise wasn't too bad. They have some of their dishes framed on the wall. And there's free parking out front and two garages in the area.

    We've been coming here for Peking duck ever since it opened, and it remains our go-to spot for it. The duck is hands down the best in town and closest to authentic Peking duck (although the knife work and presentation is much less sophisticated compared to the real thing). Their other Northern Chinese style dishes are solid as well, reminds me a little taste of home. My personal favorites are the shredded pork with garlic sauce and the salted egg with pumpkin. If you are adventurous and love spicy food, their Mao Xue Wang (spicy intestine and blood stew) is also pretty flavorful. Most menu items stayed consistent, but the price has gone through multiple increase throughout the years. The whole duck combo is now $56 (was $45 less than 2 years ago), and the complementary duck soup has been getting a bit watered down. Despite these changes, we'll definitely keep coming back!

    This place is in a popular spot on bellaire. I've been here a couple times, and the service is pretty fast considering how the type of dishes you order. I ordered the duck in advance when I reserved. The duck is pretty good - I would say the portion is smaller than I expect and compared to other places I've been to. The steamed fish is my favorite at the place. The place is pretty small. Luckily most times I've gone when it's not too busy.

    Finally came back here since I have been eating Peking duck elsewhere but that place is too far. Got the half a duck and Japanese tofu. Overall decent except for too much garlic in the tofu dish. Not as busy as before. The menu seem expanded the last time I came. Service is your usual Asian service. At least now I think I don't have to call that much ahead to get my duck.

    The ambiance inside the restaurant is very nice and the staff are courteous and welcoming. The restaurant is small at best medium in size but the food is super delicious. The Peking duck is super crispy and yummy cooked to perfection. The other entrees were tasty too. Definitely coming back for more and more support for Chinese owned businesses

    Kung pao chicken
    Jeannie W.

    Very friendly staff. Great decor! Ordered the Kung pao chicken as well as half a peking duck which came with a duck soup. Soup was a nice broth with some pieces of duck neck and chopped up nappa cabbage but only 2 pieces of tofu, would've been nice to have more tofu. Peking duck was the best I've had, the skin was crispy without the fat! Came with thin wraps, cucumber slivers and green onion and sugar. The Kung pao chicken was also the best we've ever had! The only thing that I didn't like was that they would not give me rice to go with boxed up leftovers. All in all I will definitely return. Highly recommend this place.

    Good food, but terrible service. Only time they came to the table was dropped off food and to get the payment for check. I asked for Togo boxes countless of times and nobody came. I had to go and get it myself. The waiter I had was rude and had a RBF from the beginning. I regret leaving a tip here. Moving forward if I ever experience such terrible service, that tip will definitely go down. I will not come back due to their staffs lack of service towards my family The Peking duck did taste good though.

    Enjoyed the peking duck at this place - the meat was super fatty and like that they have a duck soup using the bones and cabbage sauerkraut - not sure what this is called in English lol. There is the usual pancake wrap, cucumber and onion to wrap them with. I have had better peking duck - a bit leaner duck and cripsy skin but its not bad here. The pork belly stew was good, meat was very tender and fatty. Pepper fish was alright. It wasnt super crowded when we went on a Sunday afternoon at 2pm. Service was decent.

    Great Chinese restaurant! I most liked the cauliflower, the Peking duck, and then the Kim chi boiled fish.

    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.

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!
