Really a strong 3.5. Came here in NEED of some late night food! It's an older restaurant, located in Chinatown so it's definitely for the food, not for the aesthetics. I orders the beef tips with French fried rice. And it was super tasty. My friend got beef tips on their own and he enjoyed it as well but was craving something spicier. Most importantly, the service was fast and the portions are great (enough for 2)! So I'll definitely be back the next time I need some late night Asian food! read more

The food was good, but the service was terrible. Today, we stopped by this restaurant, we had three adults, one child, and a 12-month-old baby. When we received the receipt, they had automatically charged us 20% for the tip. We asked why they had added it, and they said that we had sat at the large table. They didn't care how many people were there; they still charged even if only one person was sitting there. The thing is, they were the ones who had seated us and hadn't informed us that there would be a 20% charge. We could pay it, no problem, but at least they should have put the signed to let us know. This wasn't the first time this had happened. The last time I went there, I had four adults, and they still charged me 20%. But they didn't mention it to me. They just told the that and gave me the merchant copy to sign. I added $25 more. Until I got the receipt. There were 20% plus $25 (which we had added) on the bill. I asked them why they had added the tip, and they said that it was a holiday. But that wasn't the case. They said that it was a weekend, but that was Thursday. So, they were saying that it was a weekend because they were counting Thursday as a weekend. Then they said that it was because we had five people. And I asked how they could count five people. Then they said, "Okay, I'll take it off." They gave us three reasons for the charge, but none of them made any sense. So, if you want to eat there, just take it to go and always check the bill. They are trying to add tips without people's knowledge. read more

11/01/2025 - Yum. Came back for lunch with friends. We had Vietnamese Imperial Rolls, Dungeness Crab Fried Rice, Dungeness Crab with Ginger and Scallion Sauce and Roasted Duck. So good. The crab is hacked up, velveted and wok-fried and then in sauce. We had more than we needed but it was great to have two different crab dishes. The rice in the Crab Rice was so full of crab flavor. Yum. Love this place. Then we shopped at HMart for the weekend. read more

This was my first time back in years. Wing Kee is our go to spot for bbq but they were on vacation. We came here as our backup. Got the cha siu (dry and too lean) and the roast pig (decent). It was pretty empty inside on a Saturday afternoon which was sad to see. I remember when our family friend was a cook here and we'd dine in and it was booked/busy. read more

Amazing steak tips and french fried rice! If you ever need great food late at night and don't feel like cooking or eating fast food I highly recommend Sinh Sinh and they steak tips & french fried rice! They're great at normal hours too but in Houston where many restaurants close surprisingly early this spot is a blessing for late night eats or when you get back late at night from a trip! Service great, they're quick, nice and attentive. The restaurant is lit well and clean from what I've seen all the times I've been there. read more

Sinh Sinh - Steak Tips With French Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have not been here since pre Covid and holy shit, this place is in the dumpster. With no respect, and I usually write with respect, this place is not good anymore; everything is WAY overpriced, and I am shitting myself right now as I write this. I have been poisoned by their "imperial" egg rolls. I knew it as I took a bite and tasted that sourness to it. Portions are way too small for it to be $20~ for any dish. Friend wanted refill for water, got the silent treatment. From just looking at other tables, it looks like the way to go is order their "fresh" seafood from their tank. Never coming back again, sorry Sinh Sinh, you treated me well before. read more

Sinh Sinh is the OG Vietnamese spot. Growing up, my mom would always grab food to-go from here. It's not the best Vietnamese food, but it does satisfy. Also, they open til 2am. On Friday and Saturdays, til 3am! Love that! Service is good, and the food always comes out fast. The place is a bit dated, but that's what keeps its nostalgic charm. We ordered the imperial egg rolls, garlic string beans, bò lúc lác, drunken noodles, and bánh bột chiên. Everything tasted yummy, especially the bò lúc lác. The imperial egg rolls are so addicting. You always have to order the garlic string beans, it's a staple. Have you ever seen this place during lunch on a Sunday? It's packed! Many Vietnamese families eat here on Sundays. You should see the line for roasted duck, roasted pork, steamed chicken, and BBQ pork during holidays. My mom would be in that line! I would always look forward to her coming home from Sinh Sinh. read more

The food is good. But the service is not that great. The people are not that friendly and not attentive to the customer. But if you are just basically wants food that is good this is one of those places. The marinated duck is very good and very juicy. The squid in black bean sauce is also good and the beef with scallions as well abd yhe fish maw soup with crab meat is awesome. read more

I usually go here with my family for their seafood dinners which are quite pricey but worth it for special occasions! Their lobster, scallops and crab are really fresh and seasoned super well. They had calamari and walnut shrimp with it too which I love. The workers are nice and will switch your plates for new ones if you are eating seafood since your plate will get full fast. read more

Our work ordered a bunch of food from here for a lunch meeting. A lot of food stayed warm so no need to reheat. Everything was amazing except for the eggrolls, but that might just be my personal preference. I'm not a big fan of this style of eggrolls. I really enjoyed the pork ribs and beef flat noodles. read more

Located in the same bustling plaza as H-Mart, Sinh Sinh offers a casual Chinese dining experience with plenty of parking nearby. If you're craving a late-night meal, this spot is a reliable option (compared to Tan Tan) now that FuFu closes earlier. General Tso's Chicken: Decent but unremarkable. While it hits the usual sweet-and-crispy notes, it doesn't stand out. Chinese Broccoli in Oyster Sauce: A great veggie dish. The broccoli ism sautéed, and the oyster sauce pooled at the bottom lets you control the intensity--ideal for those who like a balance of flavor. Seafood Noodle Soup: Simple yet comforting. The clear broth and fresh seafood make this a light, easy-to-digest option for late-night cravings. read more

Four stars because they're open till 2 in the morning. I had the beef stew which was not so much a stew that most of us are familiar with. More like a beef noodle soup. I wish it had a few more chunks of beef and a lot more vegetables. There was a lot of beef tendon which is great for getting that savory flavor as well as providing collagen. I like that they were able to substitute rice noodles instead of wheat noodles. The servers were busy because of the late night crowd but it was still good. read more

Been dining at sinh sinh for so long that it's become the designated spot for birthday dinners, grad dinners, and other events. It's a great place to go for large parties as they have family style dishes and lots of dining space. We like to get the salted fish and shrimp fried rice, egg rolls (SO CRISPY), fried squid, and sizzling beef. This time, we tried the roasted duck, and it was delicious. The buns were soft, pillowy, sweet, and the duck was tender. Combining everything together - the bun, duck, green onions, and sweet sauce created the best lil sandwich. The fried rice always slaps, just make sure to eat it with the hot peppers on the side. It makes it taste even better!! Service is usually just straightforward. They come to the table to get your order, bring the food, refill waters, and hand the check. FYI, 18% gratuity automatically applied for parties over 4 I believe. Ample parking! read more

Highly recommended for anyone who loves Asian food. read more

Amongst the many Vietnamese-Chinese places throughout Bellaire Chinatown, few have amassed a reputation as Sinh Sinh. Their share of the local fanfare has been a big part of their longevity, as they have become a perpetual late night destination and a reliable option for Asian comfort food and fresh seafood. Sinh Sinh is the Viet-Sino term for 星星 or "Star Star" (#1) The food hardly has any star quality to it but it's still one of the better options when nothing else is open. Their popularity has made them synonymous with the Bellaire Chinatown dining scene. Over the years they have expanded their dining area as well as their menu, effectively catering to everyone and everything. One can bring a large group or come solo, they have plenty of room. Parking is also easy, which has not been the case for many places in the neighborhood. A lot of Cantonese items are available here, but none of them are particularly spectacular. Beef chow fun and scrambled egg with shrimp are easy go-to's for me, and I think their seafood is one of the underrated aspects of their menu. They also have a number of Cantonese roast meats but none have really stood out. The ladder also applies to their wonton noodle and many of their fried rice combinations. It's worth noting that the more intoxicated one is, the better all this food will taste. (#2) Service is just okay. Vietnamese, Cantonese and Mandarin are all spoken by the staff. They take credit cards and have a dedicated parking lot. They are the busiest on the weekends, but the late nights are usually the best for people watching and for satiating the late night appetite. ___________ (#1) "Sing Sing" for all the Canto heads. (#2) Just sayin. read more

My family always dines here every time we come to Houston because we love the food. We've been eating here for a while, but I feel like the quality has gone down as the restaurant has gotten busier. We used to love getting the Peking Duck here. Last weekend, we went to Houston and, as usual, ordered the Peking Duck. Since I didn't want to wait at the restaurant, I ordered over the phone and picked it up. However, the order was for my mom and dad. When I gave it to them, my dad tried it and said it tasted pretty weird. My mom tried to put it in the container and store it in the fridge. She lifted the box upside down and found a drumstick that looked like someone's leftover; it just didn't look right. The taste was also off because it was old and almost spoiled, tasting sour. When I ordered it was literally just 10-11AM in the morning. The meat was in small pieces, not even a whole portion read more

Casual Chinese spot, especially since it's open late. Whoever be cooking the lobster needs to be reminded by the owner that you should cook with care and not overcook it because you don't care. It's such a waste to order fresh live lobster and get it cooked like no one cares. Lobster jerky haha... Jesus read more

Visited from out of state and I really liked this restaurant. I recommend coming here with a bigger group of people since it would be of better value. I wouldn't come here with just one or two other people. I came here with my family so six people in total. We got the 4-Person Family Dinner and it was good variety and great value. We also got an order of ribs. This was the perfect amount of food for all of us to be full without leftovers. All the food was good and hit the spot, but it was nothing super out of the ordinary. My favorites were the Peking Duck and the Seasonal Vegetables. read more

Food was fairly good. - Roasted pork was crispy 8.5/10 - Hu Tieu Ap Chao was mid, because it tasted burnt. 5/10 - Sweet Sour Pork tasted like what I had in my childhood 9/10 - Creamy Walnut Shrimp was delicious 9/10 The service was quick. The restaurant was not the cleanest, but that's how you know it's an authentic Chinese restaurant. Some of the seafood in the Aquarium by the entrance looks dead, so choose carefully when ordering Market price items. My take out order cost me about $65. read more

Sinh Sinh is the place to be while in the Chinatown District of Houston. Our party of 7 ordered five dishes to share family style -- 1) one whole Peking Duck (comes with a bowl of duck soup) 2) Chinese Broccoli with Garlic 3) House Spicy Tofu with Minced Pork 4) Singapore Style Vermicelli Noodles - extra spicy 5) Steamed Striped Bass with Ginger, Scallions, and Cilantro Everything was perfect. From taste to presentation, these guys are in the game hard. I'm not from the area but I take it that this is the restaurant to be at in Houston for a Chinese family style dinner. The menu is huge -- pages and pages of so many speciality dishes. I'm so impressed that I'm at a loss for words. I'll definitely be back for another meal! read more

I didn't have any expectation to begin with. I came to Sihn Sihn during Covid reopening. I was planning a dinner party and never got anyone's attention. Service was none existence as ignoring customers is allowed. Last night was my first time eating inside. I waited 15 minutes to place my order. You know what? I'm leaving. By the time I started to write this review, waitress came to take my order. Food came out reasonably for midnight hours on a long weekend Sunday before the Fourth of July holiday. I ordered Curry Duck Noodles. I stared at it for a moment. The meat looked so dead. I mean, this duck suffered from a freeze burn and chopped to pieces. If you like cartoon ducks, don't order this dish. I was starving - worked at a festival all day and haven't eaten yet. I started to slurping my noodles. Delicious was not on my vocabulary for sure. I had no pleasant thoughts with this dish. It tasted like defrosted dish with deep frozen cocked potatoes and the soup was the only thing mingled with the egg noodles. Sad. Just sad. I felt bad to what I was thinking of doing. I left one dollar as my tip. Lucky me, there are many late-night restaurants in Chinatown. I'm not coming back. Upon paying I mistakenly thought a customer for employee. The cashier is actually behind the front counter. I should had kept my dollar I left on the table. What the hell is this operation? Customers are walking behind the counter. The whole place looked like a giant joke. Nothing makes sense. But the restaurant was packed. Bye! read more

You're not a Houston resident if you've never heard or been to this place. An iconic spot for food lovers. The ambiance is just so so but the food is amazing.

The service is fast and the waitstaff are knowledgeable. The menu lists is full of delicious dishes and I highly recommend this place if you've never been here. read more

The bbq pork and roast duck were below average. To top it off, the service is horrible. I requested one lb of bbq pork and half a duck to go, and the man said it was just a smudge over one lb is that okay? I said yes, no problem. When I came to pay for it, the weight was 1.97 lbs, what an egregious way to scam a customer. Will not be returning read more

On my visit, I arrived at approximately 9:20 PM and was seated by a table assistant. While seated I noticed my table had dishes that were not mind to begin with. After being given water and a menu, I waited for about 45 minutes without any server approaching to assist. During this time, multiple other guests arrived and were promptly attended to. When I inquired about speaking with a manager, the employee I spoke with did not facilitate that and instead took time to consult with a coworker. Eventually, after about 13 minutes, an assistant manager arrived and acknowledged the delay. Despite her apologies, I left the restaurant without having received any food or proper service. This experience was disappointing and far below the standard of service I expected. I wanted to bring this to attention and hope it can help improve the dining experiences for future patrons. Especially for a Houston Chronicle selected restaurant. Truly disappointing. Do not consider dining here if you're expecting good service or equal attention considering they attended to all the Asian descendant clients first than someone of my nationality waiting for close to an hour without being helped. Never again. read more

The food was good. Service was mediocre. However, it seems they have a habit of adding fees.to the bill without prior notice. They added a 3% fee for using a credit card and then added a 20% tip on top of that. They used to have a great reputation for food, but now they are working on a new reputation on how to stiff the customer. read more

A good place to get authentic Chinese food served family style. The deep-fried intestines and creamy walnut shrimp were definitely the standouts out of the things we ordered. The deep fried intestines had a very light and thin crispy exterior that was very enjoyable. It was also served on some pickled greens that had an acidic kick that paired well with the fatty intestines. The creamy walnut shrimp had a generous amount of caramelized walnuts which added a nice crunch and sweetness to the shrimp. The dish is on the sweeter side. We also ordered the ribs with pecking duck sauce which was sweet and tender, but not too memorable. The portion sizes were decent and my friend and I were able to eat our fill and to go some for later. I think the only iffy thing about this place is the service. We felt very rushed when we were looking at the menu and ordering. read more

We stopped by here for a late dinner around 8:30 on a Sunday night. There were only a few groups here at first but by the next hour this place started to fill up. We started off with shrimp spring rolls which were pretty good and very large. The peanut sauce that we had with them was not as creamy as I was used to but it was pretty good. My daughter had the Wonton Noodle soup. The broth was tasty and the noodles were nice and soft. My daughter enjoyed the wontons and finished up her soup without a complaint. Next we had the salt toast soft shell crab. This came out pretty quick and the crab was soft. You could taste the pepper and salt seasoning and it was good. There was some spice with it but mostly just in the veggies. Our main course was their special of the day, the Boston lobster. We went with the the Ginger and Scallion seasoning. We were going to go with the Pepper and beer seasoning, but the waitress stated that this was a better deal and will taste better. So we went with what she said to go after. The special had two lobsters in it and tasted pretty awesome. The lobster meat was very moist and the flaving was good. I was pretty happy that we went with it. However, I will say it is a bit different eating lobster this way compared to steaming a lobster and cracking it open. It was a good learning and dining experience. Lastly while we finished up we looked around and saw that 3-4 tables had these rolls on them. We asked and were told it was their egg rolls. Found out it was their Imperial roll. We of course had to have that, and boy I'm glad we did. It was pretty tasty. Also funny since, as the server said we ordered an appetizer for dessert. Overall we had a good and unique experience here and I can see why it is a popular place to visit with wait staff that will work with you. Glad we found out about it. read more

Sinh Sinh - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Met a big group of friends here for dinner. We order one of the family meals and tried a bit of everything. Drinks and appetizer - I had a beer and we had vietnamese egg rolls. The egg rolls were just ok. They weren't as crispy and flavorful as some that I have had at other places. The eggrolls are filled with a type of pork sausage I think and it was pretty mediocre. 5 out of 10 on the egg rolls. Soup - fish maw and crab meat soup This was something that I've never had before. It was delicious. 8 out of 10 on the soup Peking Duck - It wasn't bad. I think I just don't like duck. There is something about the texture of duck meat that I just can't get past. It seemed to be cooked very well, just not my thing so I won't judge the place harshly on the duck Walnut Chicken with Vegetables - this was very average and nothing to write home about - 5 out of 10 on this dish and that's being generous Shrimp Fried Rice - pretty good fried rice, but didn't blow me away - I would say about a 5 out of 10 Black Pepper Ribs - the ribs were my favorite part of the meal - nice tender and crispy riblets - very tasty 8 out of 10 on the ribs Overall this place was just ok to me. Not a place that I would visit again. read more

A well-known Chinese-Vietnamese restaurant here in Houston. Definitely great for big groups. Not only do they have tables and seating to accommodate large groups, but you can order entire meals for big groups too. If you need a place to feed your army, Sinh Sinh is an easy way to get everyone in, fed, and on your way. I've been here four times over the last 3 years. It's consistent. Beware however: Their restrooms also happen to be consistently DISGUSTING. read more

Having 2nd thoughts about this review because i want to keep this a secret, but I wont gate keep any longer. exceptionally flavorful dishes, extremely fresh seafood (fish tanks), enormous portions! VIBE :: Same as any old mom and pop, traditional chinese restaurant. kinda old fashioned, could use a face lift. See? seems authentic already. SERVICE :: Might need to go with a chinese speaker because it seemed like their english could improve. But as i always say, you dont go to these kinds of places expecting American style service. You're under their roof, just go with the flow. We had good service, because we didn't expect them to be hoovering. ::FOOD:: *Spicy Dungness Curry Pot* TABLE FAVORITE!!! must order. MP, so maybe they might not have it in but if they do, do yourself a favor and order this. it has a kick to it. The crab comes shell on so be prepared to work for the meat. My favorite part was when i took the shell and put some rice in the inside of it and mixed it all up with the gravy and juices... *drooling..* *Lobster with Black Pepper and Beer* Fried to perfection, super intense salty flavor. didnt taste much of the beer but so good. *Hunan Chicken* always popular, super soft, pillowy yumminess where you must dip into the garlic sauce that comes with it. *Coconut Jelly* YUMMY!!!!!!!!!! such a refreshing dessert. Not too sweet and has a nice cream on the top, inside is some clear jelly.. mann i wish we got two of these. Soo good. OVERALL;:: i thoroughly enjoyed this meal. Next time i want to come try some shrimp dishes with more people because with only the 4 of us, we couldn't order as much as we really wanted to. read more
