Management has changed, which means the menu has changed! The pork feet are still on the menu (phew!) and still good so I only deducted one star. But the steamed bass is no longer offered and half the other menu items were crossed out. We tried to order the eggplant but they didn't have the ingredients even though it was on the menu. Looks like in the future I'll only be doing take-out for the pork knuckles/feet. Hope they keep that on the menu!! read more

They are cater towards American Chinese flavors but they also have some authentic Chinese dishes here. The best of all, they also have authentic Belizean flavor food here. Something you can not find elsewhere in Houston. I called ahead to order to go and the lead time to pick it up was fast. The lunch specials are great price and good portion. I love the pork with garlic sauce lunch special. Great service here and it is very clean on the inside. read more

Pretty good Chinese spot with later hours than most places in this area. Sweet and sour chicken: this was sooooo good! The chicken was incredibly saucy and crispy, and the sauce was well balanced. Loved the inclusion of pineapples. I think about this dish often. Mapo tofu: this is a skip. I was expecting mala/sichuan style mapo tofu but this was the complete opposite. No spice at all, savory... maybe even a little sweet? Not terrible but definitely not what I was expecting. Tofu and vegetables: mainly ordered this for the veggies. It's nothing special but it is a large portion. Especially generous with the tofu. Good prices here by the way! read more

This is the place when you want late Chinese food for the low. Probably the cheapest in the area! Service is fast, and the staff is very friendly. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I was so surprised. I used to order the mapo tofu a while ago, but they changed how they made it. It no longer had that szechuan spice. I'm no longer ordering this. If they go back to the original recipe, I will update my rating to 5 stars because I miss it! However, their other dishes are great. Especially the sizzling black pepper beef. You really can't go wrong with anything they have. The rice is also very moist. read more

I wanted to like this place, but I was really confused by the bill. We ordered the $10.99 lunch special, one entrée for $14 with a $2 upcharge for fried rice, a 6-piece wing order for $9, and two canned sodas at $1.50 each. For two people, the total somehow came out to $50 before tip, which didn't seem to add up. I wasn't given a clear explanation of the charges, and it left me wondering if there was an extra charge or if a tip had somehow been added without me realizing it. I don't mind paying for good food, but I do expect the bill to be accurate and transparent. I recommend checking your receipt carefully before paying. 2 stars for clean restaurant. read more

Went to drop off some clothing donation at the box near this restaurant and decided to pick up some takeout here. The cashier man/ owner (Mr. Simon?) was really friendly and helpful with orders and the food looked good. Restaurant was about a third filled with people eating and looking happy. Will definitely be back with the good service here and fast take out. You can get some take out TEXAS SIZED Peach Mango tea also that is Sweet and delicious and Togo orders are packed really well! I will definitely be back to try more of these food and drinks. The Pepper steak & the Eggplant was delicious! read more

Saw some great reviews so I thought I'd drive 25 mins to try this place. I've seen the Simon's Chinese Restaurant chicken sign on the Dun Huang Plaza for YEARS so my curiosity was piqued. Were they supposed to open at the Dun Huang center at one point? We showed up on a rainy weekend, probably 3 weeks after it opened. It's an odd place to put a traditional Chinese restaurant but we went and it was still their soft opening. Lots of older Chinese patrons inside. My kids are more Americanized so they were scared. Let's get to the food. - Shrimp and vegetables from the American Chinese menu was bland like please pass the salt and pepper please. - Sizzling tofu with pork and shrimp was ok. Nice presentation but food was meh. We prefer the Malaysian sizzling tofu more. - Eggplant with shrimp paste dish which was probably the best thing we ate. Popcorn chicken was tasty. - Spicy fried squid was pure salt. It went well with the bland tofu and shrimp and veggie dish. - Walnut shrimp was meh. Nice big shrimp that tasted of mayo. This was a dish I LOVED in California. We don't do it justice in Texas. The server forgot our Singapore rice noodle dish which is fine since we had so much food left over. The waitress forgot our drink but we got it before we paid. Owner came by to apologize to us for making us wait almost 15 mins to get our order after we sat down. They were busy, we understand. Would not drive 25 mins to come back here but it was nice to see an older mom and pop shop operating. read more

好食 (Hou sik) Friend and I both heard about this place via FB group and decided to meet up for a long awaited lunch on a Friday. It's located off Beltway 8 and Richmond. Nestled in a small plaza between a gas station and a jack in the box. It looked a bit out of place but turned out to be a delightful discovery. The customers I saw walking in were mostly non Asian so I was a bit skeptical but once inside, the majority of the customers dining in were Asian. Win! It's very clean and has booths and tables strategically placed for ease of movement. They have lunch and dinner specials (which consisted of mainly imo American Chinese food). They also had value deals which were mainly canton style dishes and HK style. Very happy. (My friend is also from HK) We ordered: Eggplant with minced pork and shrimp paste - comes out piping hot and full of flavor. FULL OF FLAVOR for the people in eh back Pork rib with Chinese radish - also came out hot, the pork was so tender and melted in my mouth, the Chinese radish was cooked perfectly - not too soft but not hard at all and soaked up all the sauce Salt and pepper tofu - I am honestly not a fan of hard fried tofu but these were perfectly cooked, crispy and tender but not dry If you order a specialty drink, they give you a small order of popcorn chicken for free - we were too wrapped up in the other food to eat them The prices were reasonable and the taste and portion were perfect.. Def returning for more comfort foods. (I did do a pickup order the following week for their more American style Chinese foods - lo mein, fried rice, wonton soup and it was standard - I am more of a traditional style eater but I think those that enjoy that type of food will be pleasantly happy) read more

We went to here after reading a review about a "secret" Cantonese menu. When I asked the waitress about it, she laughed and said it's no secret. We met the owner and found out he's from Hong Kong. He said that the braised double pork feet is the popular item on that menu so we decided to try it. It was huge, delicious and flavorful. It's interesting that it came with noodles, which were also delicious. We also ordered green beans with minced pork, mapo tofu, and drinks because they come with free popcorn chicken for their soft opening special (also delicious). The drinks were okay and too sweet. They opened a month ago. The owner and staff were friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back to try their other menu items. read more

I ordered the Special WonTon Soup thru door dash. I received my order and the soup was missing Shrimp and the BBQ Pork. The WonTons were basically just dough folded multiple times with a sliver of some kind of meat- I'm assuming some type of Pork paste or something. Wayyyy too doughy. I was highly upset. The soup broth was also tasteless. It tasted like it was watered down. Of course the restaurant was closed, being that I ordered it around 10 something on Saturday night. I will not do that again. I usually get my Won Ton Soup at Tan Tan. I made a huge mistake ordering from here. read more

The service was great. From what my husband told me. But opening the food and finding one broccoli after he paid $12 is very disappointing and money played.

The lunch special price here is really unbeatable, which is more American Chinese food, but I actually like the Cantonese menu more. It's typical Cantonese diner menu like guei fei chicken, cubed beef, etc. Service and sometimes food here can be hit or miss, but they're finding their groove and it's always nice to have mom and pop food options around. P.S There's a discount if you pay cash. read more

Lots of flavor on mostly all of the dishes. The seafood Ramen noodle soup(R3) was lacking flavor and spice other than that my family and i were quite pleased with everything else we ordered. The R1 and R2 likely pack a better punch on flavor maybe next time with try of those katsu ramen. Was very good portions of food in fact we took a lot to go as we just couldn't finish it all. Definitely give them a try . read more

How can I not bring Dad to try out this new Cantonese spot when two Hong Kong friends recommended the same restaurant on the same day, especially since it's owned by a friend we've known for a long time? I haven't heard Dad give such high praise for a restaurant in recent memory, and I wholeheartedly agree with him. As far as Hong Kong-styled Cantonese cuisine goes, just from what we tried, it will be tough to find a better restaurant. The version of Concubine Chicken here is the best in town, served super fresh and warm, unlike other restaurants that prepare the chickens en masse and refrigerate them for easy storage. The flavors are unbelievable - all the spices and the taste of scallops are infused in the skin and meat, so delicious that you don't even need to dip it in the usual Ginger Scallion Sauce that comes with this dish. Dad says it's game over for other places because it's truly above and beyond any other versions we've tried. The well-marinated Braised Pork Knuckles are also ridiculously tasty, with tender meat and silky-smooth skin that falls off the bone - almost too tender. They're exceptionally suited to eating with the side of dry noodles. We can't wait to come back and try other dishes. The portions are generous, and the price is reasonable. The chef is traditionally trained in Hong Kong and worked in prestigious restaurants there. This place will be packed before long once more people know about this new spot, which is still in its soft opening phase. If they can perform consistently, I suspect it will be a top 10 must-visit place in Houston. read more

My friends catered from here for their event and Simon himself delivered the food. We didn't know what to expect since the restaurant was brand new. He spoke English, Cantonese, and Mandarin which was helpful. The food was boxed well and organized. The hits of the night were the sweet and sour pork and the spicy fried fish filets. I could've ate multiple plates of both those alone. The noodles were a miss, not much flavor. Great food overall! read more

Authentic Cantonese style food outside of Bellaire blvd. Plenty of HK folk here speaking the native tongue so you know it's legit. There's 2 menus: 1 for the American Chinese (e.g.- fried rice, orange chicken, etc. and 1 for the Canto folk (e.g. - pigs feet!, clay pots, and more) Grandma approved the pigs feet but the pork rib and daikon clay pot, although cooked well, lacked some flavor. All in all, this is a great spot that features the best of both worlds w/ Chinese food at fair prices. read more

I came here with my husband after hearing about this place from other Hong Kong foodies. From the outside, the restaurant is an inconspicuous Chinese take out place. It's newly opened, and the interior is what you would expect from any neighborhood Chinese restaurant. The service was on another level, however. We had a chance to talk to three of the owners as well as the waitress, and everyone was incredibly nice and friendly. Despite it being the evening rush, the owners checked on every single table in the restaurant in-between taking to-go orders on the phone. The waitress had a great attitude and was really helpful when we asked her about the restaurant. We ordered a taro milk tea, popcorn chicken, sweet and sour pork, stir fried green beans with minced pork, and a sizzling tofu plate. The portions were generous, and we had plenty of leftovers after eating our fill. Everything came out fast, fresh, and hot. Taste-wise, the cooking style is closer in flavor to authentic grandma-style home-cooking than a more formal restaurant might offer, but that adds to the authenticity and makes it a more nostalgia-laden affair than the average restaurant. Overall, I would recommend checking this place out. read more

Came here today and tried their new Brazilian BBQ menu. It is very good. They got a guy who definitely knows how to do Brazilian BBQ cooking those meat, and serving the meat. I guess they hired him from some other Brazilian BBQ place. My stomach is more than full, and the owner still asked me, "you want more? This is all you can eat! You should eat more!" For that price, I definitely got more than what I paid for. read more

Don't let the restaurant name or decor lead you to think that this is a Chinese American cheap takeout place. Yes the food is quite affordable but the dishes were authentic and flavorful.

Also had sizzling tofu, eggplant pot, concubine chicken, and a stir fry veggie. Enjoyed everything. Would love to come back and try more. read more

Vinimos con la expectativa de probar el menú de BBQ brasileño que vimos en la publicidad, pero lamentablemente no estaba disponible. A pesar de lo sucedido , Decidimos probar el menú de cocina asiática, pero fue una gran decepción.El arroz estaba mal preparado, el pollo en salsa de piña sabía simplemente a una salsa agridulce con trozos de piña, y la lumpia de cerdo tenía un sabor muy extraño.Además, tanto los platos como el buffet de ensaladas tenían una presentación muy pobre.Para la poca calidad de la comida y experiencia ofrecida, los precios nos parecieron demasiado altos. We came hoping to try the Brazilian BBQ menu we saw in the advertisement, but in the end, it was just that--advertising. It wasn't available. We decided to give the Asian menu a chance, and it was one of the worst experiences we've had. No offense, but the rice was terrible, and the pineapple chicken basically tasted like sweet and sour sauce with pineapple chunks. The pork lumpia had a very strange taste. Overall, the menu served and the salad buffet had very poor presentation. The prices are very high for the low quality and poor presentation of the dishes. We definitely won't be coming back. I recommend reviewing your menu, the quality, and the presentation of your dishes. Good luck! read more

Came here late last night (around 11pm) for an after study dinner session with a friend. We were greeted very warmly by the owner and staff, and were seated wherever we liked. We were super excited to find a place that would cater to our late night cravings, as there's not a lot of places open late on weekdays. We ordered the braised pig feet (came with a side of noodles), chicken and corn soup, eggplant with minced pork and shrimp paste, and mapo tofu. We also took advantage of their soft opening special where if you order a speciality drink, you can get a free side of popcorn chicken. We got the strawberry milkshake and passion fruit green tea. The strawberry milkshake reminded us of strawberry pocky, so we really enjoyed the childhood reminder. Everything was super delicious, came out hot and we enjoyed everything. The pig feet was super good, heavy five spice flavor, but super tender and fall off the bone. The steamed cabbage that was soaked in the sauce was a nice balance. We didn't know that the pig feet came with noodles, but it complimented the braised meat super well. It was like a dry stir fried noodle with an oyster sauce drizzled on top. The chicken and corn soup was my personal favorite; reminds me of egg drop soup but elevated and it hit the spot perfectly. Would order again. Eggplant w minced meat and shrimp, this was way better than I expected it to be. My friend and I are usually fiends when it comes to eggplant stir fry in any chinese restaurant, and this was no exception. It was so flavorful, and the shrimp paste flavored the eggplant dish so well. A real rice thief dish! The mapo tofu was also very good, not too spicy but spicy enough to leave a good taste. The tofu was perfectly soft but firm, and the meat was very good. We would definitely be coming back to try everything else on the menu and supporting this businesses. read more

Tried this Cantonese place right outside of chinatown. We ordered the popcorn chicken, steamed chicken with ginger sauce, the calamari, mappo tofu and beef stew. The calamari was a bit too soggy and spicier than I like, so 2*. The popcorn chicken, steam chicken and mapo were good 3*, the winner was the beefstew, enjoyed that with the dry noodle 4*. It's a good place, so please give them a try, would go during lunch, as the area feels a bit sketchy at night. Personally thought it deserved a 3.5, as the service was good. Some family members didn't enjoy the meal as much, but you can't please everyone. read more

I got take out tonight from them and while the dinner deal was good (includes entree, rice, 1 appetizer, soup, and drink), I didn't think the food was anything special or delicious. The food was comparable to any Chinese take out restaurant which is why I can't understand such high ratings. The service was not great - was hung up on first time I called to place my order. They couldn't find my order when I got there. Finally, they didn't know what sate sauce (chile oil) was! How can you not know sate when you're working in a Chinese restaurant? Mine was a take out order but it's not an inviting place to dine in imho. I like to support new small businesses and I may go back but it's definitely not anything I would rave about. Glad they've had some good early reviews to draw new customers. read more

We went last night to try this new Cantonese place after a few friends highly recommended to me. We ordered 8 dishes and I like most of them especially the Beef Tripes Pot. Highly recommend the Beef Tripes Pot. But the Gui Fei Chicken was very disappointing since I heard chicken was their specialty. I would say wasn't even average compare to normal standard from other Cantonese restaurants. Sizzling Tofu was tasty, the pork knuckles noodles was good and portion was huge. The fried pork intestines were very thick and too chewy we only can eat half of it. And I do have a few complaints from my first visit. First, I was trying to order more different dishes to try and there were 6 of us so I tried to order 8 things. There were at least 5-6 things out of the menu was either told at the time was sold out or was told later it was sold out. With their very small limited menu, the choices became even more limited. And it was just about 6pm which is dinner time for a restaurant kinda just started. Second, not sure where most of the food were premade or what, they were not Hot. They were more like warm. Soups were usually served very hot, and the soup I got was just warm. Like if I wear my glasses it won't even fog up my glasses types of warm. Third, the service really needed improvement. With the number of tables compared to the number of workers at the floor the service was bad. We had to tell four different server to just get a cup of water for my toddler daughter. Then we got an empty Styrofoam cup after telling the fourth person. And that was after 10 mins from the first time we asked. Then we finally got the water we wanted for my daughter. And asked multiple times just to be able to get a few napkins. Fourth, it was packed last night and literally was out the door packed. I was standing outside and it was full of homeless walking around the parking lot. Luckily It was still pretty bright at the time, otherwise I wouldn't waited there. (we would have left). I saw the homeless were asking other people waited outside for money. I saw the smoke shop next door had a security guard in their store so maybe hire someone for dinner time? read more

Came testing my luck, and I am glad I did. Amaaaaazing service, great food!! Will become a frequent customer. Clean and yummy

Ok where do I start!! I stop by here because I got an alert from Yelp all about the rave reviews for this new Cantonese spot! I tried twice to eat here and both times I was very disappointed and disgusted! Not everything was bad but, on my first visit, I received a spoiled egg-roll!! How can you let an egg-roll get spoiled and it was a bit over fried and very greasy!! I took a bite out of it and I immediately had to spit it out! I order two, one was ok. I also order sweet and sour pork with fried rice, which I rarely order a sweet dish from a Chinese restaurant. The fried rice was bland and nothing to it! The pork was so chewy n fatty! I couldn't consume most of it. The flavor of the sauce was ok. I also order the stir fry green beans with mince pork! It was ok but too much shrimp pasted in it. Made it a bit overwhelm to eat it. Ok my second visit I order the salt n pepper pork chops, so damn dry and old tasting. It didn't taste fresh at all. Some pieces I couldn't even chew! It was very dry n hard to chew! I also order angus steak with tomato rice and friend egg!! The angus steak was ok, but the tomato fried rice was disgusting old and not fresh! There were pieces of rice clump together, some of the rice didn't have tomato paste mixed in it! it was just horrible! I had this dish many times at TAN TAN and other Viet/Cantonese restaurants and the rice was very good and fresh!! It's seems when this place is super busy, which is good for the business, but it seems they loose focus and not prepare dishes very well when they are super busy! Well at least for Togo orders! I also received one small box of rice for two entrees orders, which should come one per entree! The popcorn chicken was a bit salty and greasy! Flavor not that bad thou! I will not be back! Sorry I tried twice!!! read more

I love the food here. Great American Chinese food. I order out at least once a week because the prices are very reasonable and the servings are big. If I had one piece of advice for the owners, it's that it's often very, very very warm in the restaurant, which is why I always get takeout and don't eat at the restaurant. other than that, I have nothing negative to say the employees are always very friendly and prompt. I can't say enough good things about this place. read more
