    Special noodles with beef
    Jess F.

    Sichuan Noodles is actually a misleading name because they have so much more than noodles - in fact, I think noodles are probably some of their less highlighted items! They have a beautiful menu with great pictures of all the dishes and polite service, and their atmosphere is family friendly and relaxed. I ordered the hot and sour rice noodles which were delicious but insanely numbing, to the point that even my mom who grew up in the Sichuan area was struggling! Pair that with the "special noodles with beef" (a dry noodle with spicy beef sauce) and we could barely feel our mouth anymore. We could barely touch our spicy fish because the noodles took us OUT. Rarely has a Sichuan place done this to us! I might even say it was a little bit difficult to enjoy the meal because so much time was spent waiting for our mouths to recover. Overall, I loved the flavors and variety but the intensity of the spice was pretty challenging (at least for the dishes we ordered) - I'll be back to try other options though!

    Take out - they seal it to go!

    When you walk in you can smell the aroma of southwest china in southwest houston. The food was delicious and I must try the noodles next time! However the star was the spicy tofu dish. The Chinese fried dough is amazing to eat with the entrées. I also love that they seal your food to go to ensure that it doesn't spill and his package properly. It's clear that here they truly understand hospitality and what it takes to make the customer experience a good one.

    Dropped by for dinner with my gf and we ordered the spicy fish, sour noodles, and smoked duck. The spicy fish was great, but unfortunately it wasnt that spicy. The smoked duck initially tasted great but the smokiness later felt too overpowering and the duck meat was a bit tough. And the sour noodles was lacking a bit of flavor - I was hoping there would be a bit saltier, spicier, and more sour

This is possibly the best food in Houston. It's definitely one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants I've ever had. It's up there with 2 other similar spots in the same plaze (Spicy Hunan and Hunan Bistro), in terms of price it's probably right between the other two (Bistro being the top end), but they're all magnificent, and this might be the best one of all. Located in the best plaza in Houston for food and boba, and possibly the best restaurant in Houston. What I Get: Twin Pepper Chicken, Szechuan Spicy Chicken What's good: Everything I've heard some say the best Sichuan is Mala - that's so false - yeah, if you like Americanized food that also has sugar added. I like Mala, used to go there all the time, it's cheaper, and as it got sweeter and sweeter I tried others and realized Mala is less authentic. It's a good thing I don't trust Yelp reviews, and neither should you. They're real, but it doesn't mean the people writing them are real smart. Chuan. Chuan. Chuan. See? I know how to say chuan. And these guys know how to Say Chuan as well, when it comes to cooking. It's owned by a woman who is a sweetheart, the servers here are great too. Ask for extra spicy if you dare, we always do. They close a bit earlier than 9.30 sometimes, so go as early as you can. You won't go wrong with anything you order here. It's magnificent. So many good dishes! As for which one you should order when you come here... Order the Sich One! Now let's have Katy Perry close out this review.

    This place is super clean, nice quiet ambiance, small and intimate dining setting. Service was also super quick. Food is amazingly GOOD!!! We ordered the crispy chilli diced chicken, fish in hot spicy oil and wonton soup as starter. Every dish is tasty and spicy! They exceeded my expectations! The best sichuan cuisine I have had in a while!

    Veg noodle, pork!? My friend is Muslim and accidentally ate it, we're both very upset!

    We found pork in our vegetable noodles we told the waitress and she said it wasn't meat. She was extremely rude about everything

    Located in the Dun Huang Plaza in Chinatown, close to all the boba/ dessert places with plenty of parking in the open parking lot and the 2 garages. This place has been my favorite Sichuan style restaurant for years. Exactly how you would imagine a classic no BS mom and pop Chinese restaurant would be, traditional Chinese style interior, friendly but basic level service, complementary Chinese hot tea, and owners kids hanging out in the back. Now the food... somehow this place always hit the spot and reminds me of China. Unlike a lot of the Sichuan restaurants in Houston with fancy plates and fusion twist, this place taste like someone from Sichuan is in the back doing all the cooking for you. Couple of my "must order" each time: Hot and Sour rice noodle -- this is my favorite and my reason to be back at least once a month, no other restaurants in Houston can match the taste Lamb with cumin - the lamb is tender, great flavor with just right level of spicy if you like the cumin taste Stewed Chicken Shank - this is a cold dish, boiled chicken in spicy sauce and chili oil I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to try authentic Sichuan food!

    Ordered the spicy popcorn chicken and was so yummy and flavorful and spicy. Also the garlic green beans were so good. Also ordered a noodle soup and that was yummy too. If wanting a comfort meal would definitely recommend.

    Chinese donuts
    Chee Keat F.

    We've tried this place only once so far, in May 2023. We ordered dan dan noodles - one of my benchmarks items. The portion was decent, but not exactly large. It tasted ok. There wasn't much of a peanut flavor, and the 'mala' taste was much more pronounced. The rest of the items were that we ordered were 'ok' as well: youtiao (Chinese donut), soup buns, and salty buns. We saw another table order the six baos. Those look good - maybe we'll try those if we re-visit this place.

    Pumpkin pancake
    James S.

    If you are searching for chinese breakfast, this place is open and has a good selection! Open pot stickers - filling had good flavor, probably one of the highlights of the meal. Handmade Scallion Cake - reasonable, they are able to make it thin or thick. Pumpkin Pancake - I think I was expecting something big here, but it turned out to be these mini 3" pancakes with pumpkin filling. Had a little bit of a mochi taste. It was alright. Salty Tofu Pudding - this was pretty interesting since it's warm tofu in a savory soup/sauce. Its not something you find often, so was something different that I enjoyed. Tons of parking in the shopping center, so if you are coming for breakfast theres tons of spaces. Service was friendly and prompt, but it was a single lady taking care of 4-5 tables, so def a mom and pop store vibe.

    Green onion pancakes

    My husband and I tried Sichuan Noodles for the first time on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was pretty busy, and we were seated at a corner table (a bit tight). We ordered scallion pancakes as an appetizer and three entrees: spicy crispy chicken, mapo tofu, and crispy tripe. Did not order noodles. Sidebar: I want to say that I hate their tables. There are no table legs, just a really bulky column supporting the table, and it's very uncomfortable. Whoever chose this style of table was not considering people with long legs, or legs in general. There was a bit of a wait for the food. The pancakes came out first, and they were just okay. They were kind of floppy and undercooked. The entrees then came out, along with two ungenerous bowls of rice. Look, we ordered three entrees. Why not just give us a big bowl of rice? At least the entrees were good. The spicy crispy chicken is exactly that--spicy and crispy (although not very dynamic in terms of flavor). The tripe is excellent; super crispy and flavorful. The mapo tofu is excellent, too, although it is mis-advertised. I dare anyone to find any bit of pork in this dish (it's supposed to have pork). Service is okay. You don't have just one server responsible for your table. I would've wanted the servers to circulate a bit more. Mostly they stayed at the counter. When we asked for anything, like more rice, they brought it quickly. Would come back for the food, and maybe we'll try noodles next time.

    Another great weekday lunch. This place is so reliable I can always come here in a pinch. Food is authentic and fresh.

    The service was courteous. Many choices for traditional Sichuan food. We ordered 3 dishes and shared between us. With Beef Brisket hot pot with rice noodles, I liked the smooth and soft rice noodles, the soup was tasty as well; for Bullfrog hot pot, it's quite spicy and typical hot pot flavor, bullfrog was tender, with a bowl of rice; lastly the Special noodles with beef, the Chinese name was fancy: the noodles to take your soul, it was authentic Sichuan flavor with a lot of green peppers which came with special flavor, nice and spicy. Overall I'd recommend this restaurant if you love spicy food.

    Special Noodle with Beef, Roujiamo, Mapo Tofu, Tomato & Fried Egg Soup, Beef Fried Noodle, Fried Buns, Scallion Cake.

    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.

Eggdrop soup (Yum!), and I did a sharable dish with my friends which was their Garlic Water Spinach (different and delicious). Other items ordered was the Spicy Chicken Cube. Everything was cooked beautifully, Service was quick, and the Asian inspired Atmosphere was nicely done. This place is not small, but not big either - there is seating available inside, but somewhat limited (if thinking about bringing a large group). This place does do pick-up if you're thinking of having takeout for dinner. P.S. the food is just as good as leftovers too! Located in a shopping strip, there an adequate amount of parking. If you are looking for a spot with quality Chinese food, then come on over and try Wula Buhuan, 10 out of 10 recommends! Enjoy!

    I tried this place from seeing a TikTok that it's a "hidden gem", but was a little disappointed in…read morewhat I found compared to how the tiktoker was hyping it up. The portion size was the most disappointing. I ordered the exact same things I get at many other Chinese family-style places like Mala Sichuan Bistro, and Mala was better tasting and had much bigger portions. The spicy boiled fish was kinda sweet-tasting? Not really spicy. The couple's lung slices were good though.

    My favorite place for Peking duck around the Houston area. It's a little farther out, but I usually…read morestop by whenever I'm driving to or from AIH. The duck is roasted for hours, so the skin comes out nice and crispy without being too greasy. I also like that the remaining duck is made into a soup afterward. It's simple, hearty, and especially good on a colder day. I've tried several other dishes here, and they've all been solid and remind me of the Chinese food I grew up eating. The servers have always been attentive and friendly, and the restaurant is spacious, so it's a good spot for family dinners or larger groups.

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.
