    Napkin laid out on table
    Patricia A.

    Food was good, it did not come out plated like a traditional restaurant but more like a hole in the wall restaurant. Service was quick, we were the only in the restaurant. Restaurant ambiance needs a lot of work! Clutter around the front, cloth napkins smelled and were laying around the tables, bathroom light didn't work, bathroom door didn't lock, restaurant was hot, floor was sticky.

    Decent pho place which also has a Chinese food menu. I haven't tried the Chinese food but the pho was good and was a decent portion too. It's a little dark inside but it's nice and clean. Service was great. Definitely will eat there again.

    General Tofu
    Randy R.

    This is my first time here and I must say that the spring rolls vegetable and tofu were excellent size with very good peanut sauce. We also had the Mongolian Tofu and General Tofu. Both were very flavorful and the General Tofu was quite spicy, which I liked very much. Most places never cook with enough spice when making the General Tso, this place knows how to cook it correctly. Don't pass up this place, especially if you are vegetarian or vegan, they will adjust the menu to how you like it.

    Fried 1/2 Duck

    The Pho is good but tried the fried 1/2 duck, don't waste your money. It's super dry and not moist at all. Maybe they just forgot it was in the grease

    Chicken spring rolls

    Ahhhh, Vegan Pho!

    I am so happy to give this a 5 STAR REVIEW! Vegan Options galore, Vietnamese food for the Freak'n Win (as usual!) We got the -Yu-hsiang Tofu -Vegan Pho with Vegetables ---So here's the story! We were finishing up our meal, one of the owners came by and asked if we needed anything to go. I asked for a to-go container for the both of us. The lady started small talk with us, which is wonderful, due to Covid, socializing has lacked (obviously, lol) She asked how we were doing, how we've been, how works been for us. She then said, "we have a lot of good vegan options here." She said.. our pho broth is really vegan, many places say vegetarian broth but its usually chicken/beef broth. That all of their options can be veganized with tofu. All meat can be substituted with tofu or vegetables. She even gave a little secret to their tofu pho. (I personally am not a tofu pho fan, the tofu usually is soft and falls apart) No Rice & Pho's! Hands down the best Vegan tofu. My wife is super lucky, as this place is right next to her work, her and her coworkers frequently celebrate Pho Phriday!!! Overall, a very nice experience, and the lady was extremely nice and hands down deserves 5 stars, two thumbs up, 100! Can't wait to go back. Thank you Rice & Pho for the phonomenal Vegan Options!

    Bun Combo is my favorite. Then it's the Pad Thai

    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.

    My mom wanted steamed fish with ginger, scallions, and that light sweet soy sauce. Hu's Cooking…read moredelivered! When we ordered, they mentioned it'll take about 20 mins but it came out in 10. 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.

    IYKYK - this is probably the best Peking Duck I've had in Houston in a long time. I've done Peking…read moreCuisine for years and shifted to Arco for my duck cravings, but if you're willing to drive out to Humble (pretty much anytime you're in the IAH area), you gotta check out Bamboo House for the best Peking duck. And their other menu items are fire as well! We went on a Sunday late evening. We had a 9 pm airport pickup at IAH so it was a perfect opportunity to grab a spectacular dinner and make the 30+ minute drive out to IAH totally worth it. Parking lot wasn't too full so that wasn't an issue. While the neighborhood ain't River Oaks luxury, it ain't too scary either. We kept it simple - ordered a whole duck and Bamboo House Special Noodle with Beef. This place ain't cheap but the food is worth every penny. It was very busy that evening so it's not a well-kept secret but also proves that eventually, Houstonians will figure out where the good food is. The duck was near perfect. They serve the duck with the pancakes (as opposed to the buns like at Arco) which is my preference. The soup that comes with it was also extremely flavorful. And the house special noodles with beef - oh my. I swear it's just one really long noodle so you may be frustrated trying to divvy up the family style bowl, but the labor is worth it. So good... Can't wait for my next airport run so I can sneak in a lunch or dinner at this place. So many other menu items I want to try!

    If you are looking for the best Peking duck, look no further! Who would have expected to find the…read morebest Peking duck in Humble? I had previously visited the now closed Bamboo House on Westheimer and I remember being impressed by the food. I had to make an airport run and decided that it would be perfect timing to stop by this location. I highly recommend ordering the duck ahead of time, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the last ducks when we arrived around 7 pm on a Sunday evening. The waitress was super friendly and upbeat and the restaurant is older but well maintained. You can see where the food is being prepared/cooked and you can see ducks being cooked/warmed behind a glass window. The duck was absolutely spectacular with the perfect seasoned and tender meat accompanied by well rendered crispy skin. I love how the pancakes are paper thin and pair well with the scrumptious duck and other toppings. They also provide sugar and plum sauce as additional toppings which I thought was interesting but not my cup of tea. The duck soup was extremely flavorful and full bodied and went well with the duck. The noodles were also amazing with likely hand pulled noodles served with an abundance of tender beef and vegetables with a little Sichuan kick. I was intrigued by a strawberry chicken dish that I saw on the menu and I plan to try it the time. My diagnosis: hands down the best Peking duck in the greater Houston area!
