    chicken
    Vincent L.

    Came here because of good reviews, walk out disappointed. It is one of the few restaurants that open late. Fried rice and noddle are very good. You can tell they cook it from scratch and high heat. But the beef taste like a week old. Sweet and sour pork should be easy to make, but they still manage to mess it up. Sauce is bland, gallons of red dye in the sauce. Meat is thin and mostly cover in batter. Pineapple is like a month old. Brisket pot was a bowl of fat. Just get fried rice or stir fry noodles if you decide to come here.

    One of the older Cantonese restaurant in Houston where the price is still fair and big portion, you will feel like home here. The steamed flounder fish was really good, the snow pea leafs was good also. No thrill and no frill Chinese restaurant.

    Lunch menu #2 as of Feb 23, 2025

    Wow, wish we knew about this place earlier! Their lunch prices are unbelievable. There are dozens of entrees for just $6.50 each. And it's available every day of the week including weekends. What about the portions? You would expect lunch-size portions with a bowl of rice. Nope, they give you the whole plate of entree - something you would only expect for dinner, with rice separately in a container. What about the taste and quality? It was frankly quite good - definitely better than we were expecting for the price and quantity. How do they even make money? The service was adequate, and the interior is not fancy. However, if you prioritize value, this place can't be beat. We will be back!

    Food is great. Still open late night. Very reasonable price. Wait time might take a lil while but their lunch specials' pricing is awesome and food is on par. Love this place!

    Before you head out that way, just know that once you order it takes about 45 minutes to get your food, but the food is amazing. Service is kind of slow. The ambience is like a Chinese restaurant and the prices are average.

    Food is good but service is bad. Takes a while to get noticed. Even with many empty tables. You need to go grab your own menu and try to find someone to actually take your order round 10pm. Round 10:30 pm you need to grab your own plates and silverware. Round 11:00pm remind them to see if they put in your order. Hopefully your food comes out before 11:30pm. Don't think we will come back. Oh by the way, around 11:15 our waitress told us they don't have some items available and if we would like to order.

    Pork with preserved egg congee
    Patrick L.

    Looking for a late night food place for Congee. Saw that this was supposed to have good congee. When I arrived, around 10 pm, all the tables were empty. Compared to the cafe beside it that was full. Thought i would give it a try since somebody said their congee was one of their specialities. I found the congee underwhelming. They did serve it hot.... Freshly made even but nothing to write home about. There were small chopped up pieces of pork and century egg. If you compare to the congee from the dimsum places, those were much better. Place is bright. Staff was nice. Will go back to my old late night place just beside it.

    Prices are unbeatable!! Open late which is great!! Really solid Chinese food! Can't go wrong here

    Chicken and shrimp with garlic

    "Our house, in the middle of our street" Jokes aside, this place is a must try if you're stopping by Chinatown in Bellaire! The lunch special is incredible ($6.50 for most items)! This mom and pop shop delivers full, authentic Cantonese flavors with every dish I've had. Every order also comes with a to-go boxed packed to the brim with rice. I had an excellent to-go experience and the lady taking my orders was very sweet! I'll be back to try the fried fish next time. Great place to eat all around although the restaurant itself is a bit small.

    R House 華洋 is between Fu Fu 京苑 and King Bakery
    Lou C.

    Our House aka 華洋 'R House Restaurant has been my last night go-to place for many years. There was no exceptions on January 1st, 2022. Just the turn of calendar from a chaotic year of pandemic. I have been craving for soup and noodles. I think R House got what I needed. The menu had everything from a typical Cantonese restaurant. Employee was fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese and English. It was very easy to communicate. I noticed spaghetti in the menu. He explained it was Cantonese style with typical chow mein topping. It got me so interested because no one on Yelp reviews except for the first review from 2011 had mentioned spaghetti dish. It must be popular. He said they were sold out. I wonder if it was a new year's traditional food. Ok, I'll come back to try it later. I patiently waited for my stir fried seafood chow mein, shrimp fried rice and mixed vegetables soup. The dining room was filled up halfway. They were not in a hurry to clean up the table which I was sitting. They got many round tables with lazy Susie in the middle for family style dining. My order was takeout. When I got home, few hungry mouths were already looking at the chow mein. For me, the noodles were good. Seafood was fresh. But flavor was a miss. Fried rice was kind of bland but it was easily fixable. The soup... OMG... Lots of veggies in the little bit of soup. I think the container was too small. It got lots of green veggies cooked to perfection and soup was really flavorful. On my next visit, I'll order the same soup because I want to compare with my takeout experience. And, of course, stir fried seafood spaghetti - to have a fair comparison with chow mein. I'll update you on the photos.

On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.

She got mad bc she said she still took my order. I am really tired of tipping etiquette becoming completely an entitlement.

Also, the service is phenomenal, but we also speak Cantonese. D5. 化皮燒肉 ROAST PORK If you ran a knife across the roast pork skin, you would hear the perfect crisp crackle. Each order comes with an appetizer-sized plate of roasted pork belly. The crunch on the skin was phenomenal, like a dense and crispy chip. Imagine if they made snacks out of crispy pork skin. The ratio of fat and lean pork meat was perfect, so juicy and rich, yet soft and tender. The roast pork is phenomenal. We loved it. D1. 燒鴨 ROAST DUCK The roast duck skin was flavorful and juicy, complemented by the tender duck that was fresh. The soy sauce-based marinade was delicious, and this is a classic Cantonese BBQ option that you cannot go wrong with. K15. 港式咕噜肉 SWEET & SOUR PORK HONG KONG STYLE This isn't my favorite dish, but the pork was crispy and held a lot of the sweet and sour sauce. I enjoyed it, but it pales in comparison to the others. Still, another safe Cantonese classic that I would recommend. P6. 鞋菌豆腐煲 TO-FU W. MIXED MUSHROOM IN CLAY POT They served it to us in a glass plate, but it was still delicious. Arguably, I think this was my favorite out of all the dishes because of how simple it is, and it's full of mushrooms and vegetables! There was a strong "wok hay" flavor, and the fried egg tofu were hot (it burned the roof of my mouth, but I did not care), soft, and incredibly jiggly. I loved the mushrooms and vegetables which was braised with the sauce. Big yum all around, this one hit home and one of my go-tos. F2. 菜炒牛肉炒河 SAUTEED FLAT RICE NOODLE W. BEEF & VEGETABLE Not a single vegetable in sight, unless you count the green onions and bean sprouts. This is probably one of the most well-known Cantonese classics with its strong "wok hay" flavor. The rice noodles had the perfect texture and there was a generous amount of beef stir-fried in. While it's many people's favorites, it's always a bit too oily that I would like (and that oil is almost necessary for good flavor). I recommend it if you want a safe staple, but I would encourage trying something else. We basically ordered the Cantonese classics and it was so delicious and more than what the 5 of us could finish. I highly recommend this restaurant for Cantonese food. The interior is your typical mom-and-pop restaurant, 80's/90's-style decor. It's not fancy, but the food is exceptional.
