Hunan Chicken
Esther C.

This is a review for dining in at the restaurant. The food is still good and the service is nice. I was pleasantly surprised by the decor of the Chinese restaurant. It is a bit nicer than the mom and pop places around the area. It has a nice vibe for a date night or just dinner with the family. The dinner portions are a good size. I preferred the hunan chicken over the general tso chicken. The general tsos flavor was good but more breading than I personally like. I liked their hot and sour soup too! Would order it again.

Sweet and Spur Pork

This place has a great selection. Everything I have had has been good and you get good portions. Service is awesome, fast and friendly.

Shrimp with xo sauce
Monique T.

The food here didn't taste as authentic as I'd hoped. There was some dishes that sounded familiar but the seasonings tasted slightly different from what they normally taste like. The beef soup wasn't what I had in mind at all. I hope to give it a try at a later time- but this didn't hit the spot at all. XO sauce is a seafood sauce that is oftentimes mixed with dried scallops, or shrimp and chili oil- whereas this tasted more like crab boil seasoning

This was easily one of the top 5 Chinese restaurants we've been to. We were craving Chinese food and found this place on Yelp and decided to dine in. We were surprised at how beautiful it was inside. The owner came by and was very attentive and welcoming. The food was fresh and delicious! Will definitely be back not only to dine in, but takeout too!

Hot and Sour Soup and Wonton Soup
Miki K.

We were hungry after our workout today and we decided that we wanted to try out this place, we always shop at the HEB next door to this restaurant so we decided on Chinese food. Their lunch menu was extensive with many options to choose from, they had chicken, beef, shrimp, pork and vegan lunch specials. Nice thing is they actually serve lunch specials even on a Saturday from 11-4pm Monday through Saturday!! Lunch special is served with your choice of soup ( hot sour soup, wonton or egg drop) rice (brown, white or fried) and main dish. Price ranged from $10 - 12.00 Which is very reasonable. The service was excellent and the ambiance and atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. Very Asian influenced and stunning surroundings. If you like good Asian fare in the NW Cypress/Houston area then please stop by Spicy Chen Asian Bistro!

I was disappointed at Spicy Chen Asian Bistro last week. This was after I set aside our differences and challenges during Covid-19 pandemic. I was here in November last year. It was cold and I really wanted some soup. But the restaurant had a sign saying dining room closed. Ok. Fine. I just have to come back when weather is better. So I can sit in my car or somewhere to enjoy the outdoors. I came back in January on a sunny day. It was windy but still nice. I wouldn't mind to eating in my car. So, I ordered Taiwanese Rice Noodles. It is not soup because they don't have noodle soup to my liking. The menu is completely written in English. Only 川味 (sichuan flavor) written in Chinese next to restaurant name. Only space was where cashier was standing. A sign said no photography behind the counter. Cashier was polite. I asked about what kind of fish in the fish soup. She asked an Asian man came from the kitchen. He said, "white fish." I have never heard of white fish before. Is the fish flesh white or fish skin white? I know Asians know how to cook with various fishes. But what the #*# is white fish? I felt embarrassed. So I ordered next thing catches my eyes on the menu. I didn't get to enjoy my food in my car because I wanted to do my grocery shopping at H-E-B before gets dark. When I got home... Wait, where are eating utensils? Remember, the restaurant serves takeout only. It failed in my book because it was poorly packaged and food was not appealing. Tasted ok. But I was already turned off by the presentation. Edit: owner messaged me with an email longer than my original review. To clarify, I'm not coming back to get an updated experience, because they have an exclusive Chinese menu. What if you don't look Chinese but read Chinese and want authentic Chinese food. Another odd thing, there is a sign behind the counter to remind employees don't use cell phone. Sorry, I didn't read it close up. But the sign should not be visible to customers.

Please update your schedule.... close time posted for 11pm. I take my time to drive here. Wasted gas, and more importantly, most valuable MyTIME.... just for them to be closed... I get here BEFORE 11.... no answer... no update on voicemail. Nothing. I'll update when I try the food

One of the perks of moving to Cypress? Duck n Bao! I've passed by the Humble location dozens of…read moretimes while making a mental note to return for Peking duck, so who would have thought my entry to Duck n Bao would be via soup dumplings, a Sichuan dish, and Kung pao brussel sprouts for takeout. Not me, that's for sure, but after a long day this proved to be an incredibly welcome dinner! The soup dumplings were plump and savory. The Kung pao Brussels sprouts slightly sweet and sour, and the spicy, crispy, chicken...well it'll numb your mouth, and it will be worth it. Somehow they've found the sweet spot (not literally) by creating that classic Sichuan tongue numbing spice, without creating a spicy dish per se. Apart from the numbness, the dish reads more savory than anything else. I do wish the dumplings came with either dumpling sauce, chili crunch or both, and that the crispy spicy chicken came with something to coat the rice (it's a bit dry with steamed rice alone), but all and all, I enjoyed everything I ordered and will certainly be returning for the full dine-in experience.

The uniqueness of the menu options is what caught my eye. I placed an order on Uber eats and I…read morewas hopeful that I would enjoy all the options I chose. The food came within the original stated timeframe, which was a plus. As for the food; everything was delicious and I will definitely order again. My only complaint is there no plates, flatware, sauces or napkins provided. Luckily I ordered in a place where I had those times available.

This is my newest go to!!! We got the Cream Cheese Crab Puffs, Chicken Eggrolls, Wanton Soup, Fried rice, Orange Chicken and Chicken Lo Mein. Crab Puffs: Great portion. Sauce was so good. I didn't like the amount of cream cheese. Too much, not enough crab. Texture was great! 6/10 Chicken Eggrolls: very vegetable stuffed but in the best way. So crispy and delicious. 8/10 Wanton Soup: Arrived hot and savory. SO flavorful and delicious. 10/10 Orange Chicken: I ordered it hot & spicy! GREAT flavor, nice sized pieces, lots of sauce. 10/10 Fried Rice: Slightly above average. 8/10 Chicken Lo Mein: 7/10 Overall I got very few pics because from the time I took my first bite I couldn't stop!

I just love the little elegant…read moredecor of spots like this, kitschy Chinese decor, elegant tiny chandeliers and thick wood tables. I've had a number of good meals here over the years. Unfortunately this time it wasn't great. First off, the fried wantons they bring to the table were stale and tasted like they'd been fried in old oil. I like places that bring free stuff but don't bring something if it isn't good. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and get hot and sour soup. It was a good spice/hot but Not sure about the sour. It seemed to just be hot. For my entree I had Shrimp with Garlic sauce and white rice,. The veggies were crunchy and fresh. The shrimp was good but they didn't have that crisp snap in the bite. The sauce was sweet and garlicky. The cheese puff was very creamy, batter was okay not the best. It's just not my style. My wife had the wan ton soup. It had a good tasty broth and the wanton had a good thick wrap with a nice flavor. She didn't like her Orange Chicken. I tasted it and the chicken was okay, but the sauce was too dark and heavy. I just like my orange chicken lighter and with more orange- y- ness? She got fried rice and I thought it wasn't flavorful enough. It tasted like white rice that was coated with soy sauce and not fried enough. My daughter had a bowl of Egg Drop soup. It was very thick and eggy. The corn was a surprising addition. It was okay but would have benefited from some chili oil, which wasn't provided and we didn't ask for. Overall, the entire experience was disappointing. The service was good but the food was mediocre, the restaurant was kind of warm bordering on hot and the table felt sticky. Don't think I'll be back and that's a sad thing. I'll have to find another spot for Chinese food in the area.

Service was friendly, food is good…read more Sweet n sour pork was kept separate from the sauce which I appreciate and it gets too soft if you mix it. Also the pork was pretty crispy so the batter was nice. My gripe is with the fried rice that comes with my order. It was plain fried rice, and I mean just rice and soy sauce. It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for them going overboard with the white pepper in the fried rice, which frankly I believe that you shouldn't use white pepper for anything other than hot n sour soup. It was so bad that I ate only that little bit and threw the rest of the rice away. The cream cheese rangoons were some of the biggest I've ever seen or had. It was good at first but then having the second one it was a bit too much. Overall it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. Maybe there's another dish that they have that will change my view on this establishment.

I ordered chicken with broccoli & what I got served was broccoli with a slice of maybe 1/8" of deli…read moresliced meat that was cooked (I don't know how) then mixed in with the broccoli. They on the net show the previous owners menue with prices. These owners use to be on Mason Rd in Cypress & went out of business. It's the worst Chinese slop i have ate in my lifetime, never again. It was lunctime & only one other couple .
