    Steamed chicken & cabbage dumplings
    Angela K.

    San dong is so darn good and well priced!! Their dumplings are an absolute staple. I've had their noodles before too, and the portion is huge and hearty. I love both steamed and pan fried dumplings, so I had to get both. Although if I had to choose one over the other, I'd pick the pan fried dumplings. It's $9.50 for 12 pan fried dumplings and $9.50 for 15 steamed dumplings. Can't beat those prices! It took almost 20 minutes for our order of dumplings to come out, but it was worth it cuz it was served hot and fresh. The chili oil on the side was a nice add on, and the soy sauce complemented the dumplings so well! We sat in the cafeteria, where there was plenty of seating. Even though the interaction with the employees is super quick, they are friendly and work efficiently.

    Whoa! It's been years since I've been to 99 Ranch, and was pleasantly surprised to see an outpost of San Dong here. San Dong in Chinatown has always been an oldie but goodie for me - still remember eating there back in the 90s! Even though the original owners have sold the business, the new owners have carried on their classic dishes, and have done good job of retaining what has made the original so popular. Great to see this expansion - has my favorites like their fried pork chive dumplings, as well as their dumplings boiled inside beef broth. After Xiong's Cafe has closed, I still find myself getting San Dong's beef noodle soup to satisfy my fix. This location is located in the food court, and they take credit card. Definitely will be stopping by again whenever I'm doing grocery shopping in the area!

    This place is a go to especially if you are already making a trip to 99... you must stop by and order the dumplings. This time I got 2 orders - Steamed Dumplings- chicken & cabbage and pork and chive and an order of 4 chive buns. My favs never disappoint... pork and chive are packed with flavor. The chicken and cabbage were also tasty. I also enjoyed the chive bun crispy outside and chivey inside... a must try. Service is no nonsense... give your order so they can make your order. This is a shared food court area so there can be challenges on the weekend. It is family friendly. Come visit and enjoy.

    I was buying a few things at Ranch 99 and got hungry for lunch. Mind you, it's hard to find pescatarian items in this food court. But I did manage to find vegetable dumplings at this place. Too bad they don't have steamed ones. These were pan fried. You get 12 for about $10. I received chopsticks but pretty sure they have plastic forks and knives somewhere. The place is credit or debit card only. I'd eat these dumplings again when I'm at Ranch 99.

    Met friends for a quick bite after church service. I had the $8 bowl of wonton soup. The broth could have been de-greased better, but everything else was good! There was a nice amount of bok toy along with the simple, colorful extras that invite you to taste the textures. I was so happy to count eight huge wonton dumplings. On a chilly day, it was the perfect meal.

    I'm going to sandong my own two feet and write this review as best I can. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Chinatown with delicious noodles and wonderful food. It's really very popular and very busy and good for people-watching as well. I can summarize this one quickly - basically delicious and somewhere that I go on a regular basis. One of the 20 fave restaurants in Chinatown for me.

    First time going to the Ranch 99 location and it did not disappoint. I was in the area so I grabbed the bean sauce noodles to go. Big portion and cheap price - can't beat that! Tasted the same as the Chinatown location. They weren't busy at all and my food came out fast. Only negative was that the noodles were in a huge clump which made it hard to stir and mix around with the sauce/cucumbers (container was also a tight fit).

The got nice wall art too, depicting the popular dishes from the north so I had my expectation and hopes up. Service is ordinary, she speaks little English but can get by ordering, we order first at the counter the sit anywhere. Braised egg is 2 for $3.50, salty but expected since it's marinated. Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it.

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.

On the table was a holder with chopsticks, soup spoons and napkins. It was a chilly, blustery day - I so enjoyed the Henan-style lamb with noodles soup! Three kinds of noodles: wide, hand-pulled with a nice chew; thin, textured tofu; crystal. Happy with the two quail eggs. There was a nice amount of wood ear fungus, kelp? and fresh cilantro. The lamb was tender and the broth flavorful. I saved half of the soup for dinner and chowed down on the pork bun. It was hot and toasty from the bun being grilled. Had to eat it right away as the bun was crispy crunchy and the sauce inside will eventually make the bottom mushy. "Yum!"

Service is just a typical hole in the wall type of restaurant experience you will get. You pick a seat, hurry up and order, they bring out the food and you go up to the register to pay when you're ready. Don't expect any first-class customer service from here. Have extra caution if you have any food allergens as they don't believe in people with food allergies. Henan Lamb Stewed Noodle - surprisingly not gamey so they cleaned the meat well. Soup is great for cold days or I guess hot days if you're an older Asian auntie/uncle who believe you should be eating hot food when it's hot out. Not for me who doesn't enjoy lamb but was tolerable since it wasn't gamey. Shanxi Oil Noodle - what they are known for. I love the slightly chew and wide hand-pulled noodles. It was almost perfect for me but one of the best in Houston metro area. After eating, you can walk it off at the market or get some sweets from another place within the shopping mall.

She immediately asked what we wanted in a rude tone, which set an uncomfortable atmosphere from the start. There was a sign on the table advertising a "free appetizer" if you take a photo and tag the restaurant on social media. I followed the instructions exactly as stated, but when I mentioned it, the server initially refused to honor the promotion. After I pointed out the sign, she appeared upset and walked away. I saw she went to speak to another employee and cracked a smiled and looked over. She later returned and offered a small discount instead. The issue wasn't about the money or the discount, it was the principle. The promotion was clearly advertised, and I simply followed the restaurant's own policy. It was disappointing to feel like the restaurant was reluctant to honor something they were actively promoting. I hope management addresses this because customer service and consistency with advertised promotions make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
