    Jalapeño chicken
    Will L.

    T Jin is one of my sister's favorite restaurants in Katy, so I decided to come along with her to try it out for lunch. Incredibly prompt and helpful service. All of the waitstaff were very friendly. They have lunch specials which are served until 3:00, and come with quite a bit of food (my sister even took some home). Truly a bargain for the $8-9 price range. I ordered the Jalapeno Chicken dish, which looked to be the spiciest dish on the menu. I wouldn't have minded it spicier, but I was happy with what I got. Chop sticks are not de rigueur in this restaurant, but you can ask for them, and they'll happily provide them. (I would've preferred rice in a separate bowl, which is more traditional. I'll ask them if they'll do that the next time I come by.) My sister ordered the orange chicken, one of her favorites. I tried a little bit. It's breaded chicken (I think it would have been better with fresh chicken), and not super spicy (more in line with her tastes, and not with mine). I've had better Chinese, but we were both happy and full when we left. I'll happily join my sister for a visit again in the future, since it's pretty close to her house.

    hunan chicken
    Sydney J.

    I always get the Hunan because I love the sauce and vegetables they pair it with. Some green tea, Wonton Soup, and Crab Ragoons, and Hunan Triple Delight. Its just a lil place in an HEB shopping center, so parking is a pain. But the staff is nice, the place is always super clean. Ordering online is so EASY! Me and my son go here on day dates. He gets the Orange Chicken which is really food too!

    Flavorless Chinese food of questionable origin. My son and I tried to eat before grocery shopping so we wouldn't go crazy at the H-E-B. The service was ok but the waiter couldn't help with any menu items. This left us to our means so I'm not sure if we ordered any house specialties. Food came out almost flavorless. The hot and sour soup tasted as if it was water with texture. The main dishes were meats with an slimy texture (maybe intended) and again no spices.

    Two words: Absolutely spectacular! I hadn't eaten in a few days (long story) and I found myself in…read moreKaty on a Friday so I did a quick Yelp search and came upon this place. As I dug deeper, I read Jando's glowing review word-for-word and found myself salivating. Well, I ventured out to S. Mason for lunch, found the place easily, appreciated the ample and free parking, and walked in. I had read before that they used to be closed on Tuesdays and Saturdays, but now they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but open for dinner on Saturdays. (See my photos.) Anyhow, we walked in and found the place homey. Nothing fancy - just a nice, clean, homey Malaysian restaurant. Not too big, and not too small. We placed our order of roti canai, stir fried flat rice noodles, seafood sizzling tofu, and topped it off with a Malaysian milk tea. Oh my - we were satisfied and stuffed as a party of 2. We ended up boxing up almost 40% of the meal. The roti was near perfection - crispy, hot, flaky. The dipping sauce was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of heat. It included chunks of chicken and potato. You must absolutely order this one. I love me some stir fried flat rice noodles so we got that one with chicken. Overall, it was excellent. Portions were a tad smaller than I would like for the price. Also it could use a little bit of hot sauce so we asked for a side of sriracha which they gladly and quickly brought. The sizzling tofu - OMG so good. I can't even explain it. I just love it so much and the portions are huge. I'm not sure what the vegetable flavor would taste like but we tried the seafood one and have no regrets. Lastly the milk tea was just because we felt like splurging and it was also a great decision. The tea flavor itself is deep and the overall drink is very nice. We got it iced. And an honorable mention - we ran into Uncle Chin (at least we assume it was Uncle Chin) and told him his food was amazing. I think he really appreciated it. He seems like a super nice guy and I want his business to do really well. If that wasn't Uncle Chin then we talked to a random person and raved about the food... Many thanks for Jando for the raving review that convinced me to try this place. Loved it and would absolutely come back as soon as possible!

The food and drinks were all delicious, good portions, and prices were reasonable. Everything came out in a timely manner. The drinks took a little longer, but it wasn't a big deal. We also ordered a noodle dish that I forgot to take a picture of. One thing to note: I wouldn't recommend using the restroom if you can avoid it. My little one really had to go and it wasn't clean at all or well kept which was a bit of a downside especially with a kid. Overall, we had a great experience and I'm glad we finally tried it.

Service was spot on, quick, and we got our food in what felt like maybe a few minutes. We started off with pork dumplings for the kiddo, which he INHALED in moments. For entrees, we split the orange chicken and the Spicy/Numbing Pot. The orange chicken was spot on. The sauce was sweet but not painfully sweet or thick/clumpy. Really nice orange flavor and tender chicken. So much fun eating it since it is gluten free! Our kiddo also devoured this dish! Mild - not spicy at all! The Spicy Numbing Pot, while a little oily/greasy on the bottom, was still delicious! I appreciated that it wasn't knock your socks off spicy - it had a solid kick, and so flavorful. I love eating dishes with Sichuan Pepper; it has a lot of flavor, and the tingling is so much fun. This dish was perfect with some rice, and it wasn't too heavy for the middle of the day. The prices were really reasonable, and there was enough food for leftovers which we ate later that night. Our only regret is not getting the duck appetizer, but we will be sure to get it next time. We can't wait to go back, and Tiger Noodle will happily be in regular rotation for our family! You can't go wrong!

Heads up though, the XO wok fried cod is more like stir fry, but we still wanted to try it. Waiter said salt & pepper seafood dish would be more crispy. Portuguese egg tarts (3pc) were pretty good; could be more crispy. Looking forward to trying their other dishes in the future.
