    Broccoli shrimp
    Jessica B.

    Ordered takeout online & was happy to find that my order was ready at the estimated time. I was greeted immediately upon arrival, the gentlemen at the front desk was nice & invited me to help myself to any condiments I wanted. I ordered their fried rice, basil chicken & shrimp with broccoli. The fried rice & basil chicken was great, my only comment would be that the shrimp in the shrimp with broccoli order were pretty small in comparison to most Asian restaurants, nonetheless the flavor was good & the serving size was plentiful. For portion size reference, I split my order with my mom & still had leftovers for the next day which meant my $30 was well spent!

    Friendly little storefront spot with counter service and about 3 tables. The food came quickly and was very good. I had the shrimp and scallops and my partner had fried rice - both were delicious.

    Happen upon this place and everything looked so great!! Started with some edamame and veggie rolls. Wifey had shrimp tempura which was amazing! I ordered the chicken wing fried rice plate and it was great, but the game changer was the lemon pepper dip thing they give you.....OMFG!! We'll have to come back whenever we're at least ten miles from this place!! Attendant was courteous, polite and willing to help with the menu. Ambiance is quaint which is a definite plus!

    Great food and fast fast service! The Taiwan satay beef was key! It so close to Maplewood and Meyerland. Decided to check it out and don't regret!

    They've updated the inside with a bunch more seating!

    Really happy Pepper Salt is here - it's a great addition to the area. Simple, tasty, quaint. What more do you need? The owner is nice and inside is cute and well kept. The menu isn't huge but still has a good variety. Food is good, portions are generous, and a good value price wise. I'm a sucker for the kimchi rice 10/10.

    Great food for a low price! Today I was checking the highest rating food spots in Houston and pepper salt pulled up as it's known for its fried rice and ramen. So I thought about giving It a try during this rainy day. Walking in the restaurant is like a mom and pop shop with a few seats, music and just one area to place your order. The owner is pretty friendly but was a bit confused when I asked to keep the merchant copy of my receipt because I wanted to eat the food first before I tipped. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu ramen The ramen came pretty fast and was hot that on my first sip I burned my tongue. I want to make clear that this is not a Japanese restaurant this a Chinese restaurant so the noodles were not egg noodles but they were still good. They had a good pull on them and slurped well. The broth was delicious but not spicy enough I asked for more chili oil and that helped a lot. My only caveat is if you compare this to other ramen you got a Japanese restaurant (like I did) you'll notice that some of the ingredients weren't as fresh as usual. The nori was good, bamboo shoots were not too sweet but kept its crunch and the tonkatsu was a bit tough. Overall I believe the hype behind this restaurant and will come again the next time I'm in Houston

    Newly opened cafe featuring Taiwanese snacks with a mix of traditional Asian flavors and more popular Western ones. It's a small place, about the size of a coffee/bubble tea shop with 5-6 tables. Plenty of parking as it's in a small strip center. We ended up ordering something from every section of the menu and enjoyed all of it. However, the fried rice was the standout of the night. All fried rice are not created equal. We ordered the combo fried rice and it struck the perfect balance of flavor, ingredients, and texture. The rice was moist, it wasn't too salty, and it also came out piping hot! Days later, I'm still thinking about it. Everyone else must have also figured out the fried rice is special here, as I saw ~5 to go orders also order fried rice to go. Lychee milk tea (5/5): great lychee flavor and not too sweet - would definitely order again. Chicken nuggets (5/5): ample amount of fried basil leaves, nuggets seasoned well - again not too salty, chicken still juicy and not overcooked Spicy basil wings (4/5): cooked well, not spicy despite the name, flavor was good, but I prefer dry rub, so rating based more on preference Asian spiced Fried tofu (4/5): Asian spice = traditional salt and pepper, fried super crispy and comes with a savory dipping sauce, the Asian spice was a little light, would try a different flavor next time Combo fried rice (5+/5): shrimp, chicken, and beef all cooked to perfection, the fragrance of the green onion wafting from the fried rice was so good. The rice was moist and not too greasy either. One of the best fried rice I've had. Crawfish fried rice (4/5): rice just as good as the other order, but has some heat/spice to it. I prefer the combo but again that's mostly preference. They only had one person working in the back, so service was as fast as it could be given everything was being made to order. I don't think we waited more than 15 min for our food. They've only been open a few weeks so I think they're still staffing up. Will definitely be back!

    I drove by this place many times before I gave it a try, and now I've been here 3 days in a row for lunch! It is great. The owner is extremely friendly and they do have limited seating inside and out but a very relaxed environment. The food is awesome. So far I have eaten: Day 1: Vegetable fried rice & Shrimp fried rice My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach so I took some home for seconds! Day 2: Spicy Ramen (Extra Spicy) Day 3: Combo (beef, chicken, and shrimp fried rice Small business. Come check it out!!

    Crawfish fried rice
    Jen G.

    FOOD: scrumptious! Good value - good portions and quality. Deep, rich flavors. Menu is concise with good variety. BEST: crawfish fried rice. SERVICE: good! Weekday at 6pm-- low traffic, filled 30% capacity, quick service, order-to-table time 10 mins. Order and pay at counter, self-sitting. Staff is courteous and polite. AMBIANCE: quaint, small dinning area with limited siting (indoor sitting only). Harsh natural lighting at sunset, warm temperature as a result of the floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall glass store front. Comfortable noise volume. Will return!

    Peeps. Grab some grub on the go and it was everything my Elite Village said it was. Small space so I recommend to get it and keep moving. The food was hot and fresh and tasted great. The hey also let you grab as much duck sauce as you want which shocked me. But don't be greedy. Definitely on my list for takeout and take home. Fall through and tell them Dk sent you. #DrKindness

    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.

Unfortunately, I shouldn't have ignored the average reviews, as this is what it turned out to be. I had lunch at Bambi House this last Friday for the first time. I was disappointed for a couple of reasons: my Orange chicken was basically mostly tempura and very thin slices of chicken. I had purchased the orange chicken, which was $9.85, with egg fried rice. The chicken was average in flavor, but as I mentioned before, the chicken was in thin slices; therefore, I mostly had tempura drowned in the orange chicken sauce. The fried rice was bland in flavor. Honestly, I agree: half and the re w the rest away. Admittedly, all of the 5-star reviews I read praised the duck, so perhaps that's what they're really good at. Unfortunately, I will probably never be back, because thin slices of chicken don't meet my expectations.

The biang biang noodles had a nice bounce, but I'm not sure if it was because it was a take out meal that the noodles were sticking together. However, they were very flavorful. I also got the pork wontons in the peanut sauce and they were also very juicy and flavorful. Overall, the food here is good and I'd try it again but hopefully for dine in.

It is very much a chain restaurant, and it has that polished, standardized feel to it. I've eaten here a number of times, and while I wouldn't say the food stands out above some of the other Chinese restaurants in the area, everything I've had has always been good. I've never gotten anything that tasted bad or had an order come out wrong. It's just consistently solid. One sleeper hit on their menu, though, is the lava buns. They're warm egg custard buns like you'll sometimes find at dim sum places, and they are really good. Honestly, they're probably one of my favorite things here. I've even stopped by after already having dinner just to get an order to take home for dessert. They're definitely best hot, so I'd recommend eating them pretty quickly. The design of the restaurant is probably more memorable than the main food. They really committed to a specific industrial, techno-chic look with neon signs, animated menu boards, exposed metal, acrylic panels, textured wall details, and movies playing by the bar. The theme is carried throughout the whole place really well. At the same time, all of the metal and harder surfaces can make the inside feel a little cold and unwelcoming. There isn't much traditional indoor seating. Most of the seating inside is at the bar, with additional tables outside under some shade. Because of that, it's probably not my first choice for sitting down for lunch during a hot Houston day, but it works really well as a pickup or takeout spot. The staff has always been friendly, and they have a good system for getting people in and out. The parking lot is a little small, but since a lot of people seem to be picking up food, spots turn over pretty quickly. Overall, The Rice Box is convenient, dependable, and does what it does well. It definitely feels like a chain, but the design has a strong personality and the food is consistently good. It's not my favorite Chinese food in the Heights, but I've never had a bad experience here. And the lava buns are absolutely worth getting.

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!

We ordered quite a bit of food, and everything came out quickly. The staff were attentive and friendly, and overall, the food was decent. My favorite dish was the Chicken Steamed Dumplings. I usually prefer pork dumplings, but these were surprisingly tasty. The wrappers were on the thicker side, which I personally enjoy, the filling was moist, and the sauce was packed with flavor. I also ordered the Beef Noodle Soup. The portion of noodles and beef was generous, but I thought the broth lacked depth and had far too much chili oil. Instead of providing a pleasant spice, the excess oil left a greasy coating in my throat that actually made me cough. The other dishes were less impressive. The Pork Bao tasted like they had been frozen and reheated, with slightly soggy, overcooked buns and a filling that lacked flavor. The Egg Rolls were also extremely small and had that same frozen, store-bought quality. Overall, the service was great and there were a few solid dishes, especially the chicken dumplings, but too many of the items tasted like frozen or pre-prepared food. I would come back for the dumplings, but I would probably skip most of the other dishes.

    Casual but solid in an awesome location if you are enjoying downtown…read more My niece is a lover of dumplings and fried rice so of course we had to walk over for an early lunch before the Art Car Parade. --- location/vibes--- located in the northwest corner of downtown -- can stop by before bar hoping, catching a show, maybe even an Astros game if you wanna walk just a bit. There was a good amount of seating for that area of town but not a ton! --- Foods--- We really loved the wonton soup and mama's dumplings (gyoza basically). Both had a surprising amount of flavor. Especially the soup as this can be kinda plain at other places. We also tried soup dumplings which unfortunately stuck to the pan so we missed on the soup but the pork inside was lovely. Pricing was very resonable. ---Service--- to the point -- friendly but limited - ---Overall--- Looking forward to trying more dishes here!

    My friend and I had dinner at Cooking Girl a few months back. It wasn't busy at all on a Thursday…read moreevening. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant and it was uncomfortably warm. I don't remember our server's name but she was nice. I started with a Lychee Martini. It was very good and very strong. For apps we ordered the Scallion Pancakes and the BBQ Pork Buns. The Scallion Pancakes were very good, but once they cooled down, it didn't taste nearly as good. I enjoyed the BBQ Pork Buns too. For entrées I had the Salt Pepper Fish Slices while my friend went with the Ingenious Fried Beef. The Fish Slices were very seasoned and flavorful, but a bit dry. The batter was good and I really enjoyed the peppers and onions that accompanied the dish. I think a dipping sauce would have helped. My friend enjoyed the Fried Beef. They have quite a few locations around town if you don't want to venture into the downtown area. If you're near the Theater District, Cooking Girl is a great dining option.
