    Stopped here for lunch with my younger daughter while the older was in a dance class. Lunch menu pretty wide-ranging but with all the ones you would expect. My kid has the sesame chicken and I had the orange chicken. The sauces in the entrees here lean on the sweet side and a little thick. With lunch you get a soup, egg roll and choice of fried or steamed rice. You can also get noodles instead. They do offer a limited vegetarian menu. Clean restaurant and bathroom. Got to meet both cook and server/cashier. Both very nice and helpful explaining the menu to my 13 year old.

    She gave me a to go menu so I can easily order in the future.

    First of all the food was excellent! Service was beyond belief. I LOVE ma-po tofu but picky about how I like it. The waitress listened closely, and told me how to order it so I can always get it to my delight.

    I've been a fan of T Jin since my time living in Bryan. When I moved to the Spring area, I was happy to find a location not too far from home in Cypress. T Jin is my favorite sit-down (not fast casual) Chinese restaurant. I really enjoy their generous portion sizes and the wide variety of menu options. My usual order is the Szechuan Style Sliced Chicken with steamed rice and a small side of steamed vegetables. It always hits the spot. The staff is always pleasant and welcoming, which makes the dining experience even better.

    Plans for a homemade Christmas dinner with family were thwarted on my holiday trip to Houston, so the few of us that were able to eat had to pivot to something else on short notice. T. Jin China Diner was 10 minutes away and open on Christmas day, so I placed a pickup order consisting of two orders of sweet sour chicken with white rice, eight egg rolls, chicken lo mein, a kids chicken fried rice, and BBQ spare ribs. The general consensus was that the food was good for a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. I thought the egg rolls were a little better than grocery store freezer section quality. The lo mein and kids fried rice were both solid and the kids fried rice in particular was a good value for the price. The sweet and sour chicken tasted as expected with one of the two boxes unexpectedly containing cut up pieces of peppers. The BBQ spare ribs didn't have a ton of meat on them, but what was on the ribs was good. The website doesn't seem to give pickup estimates based on their current workload, so be aware there may be longer delays than listed. I was quoted at 20 minutes, which I thought was unrealistic given how busy Chinese places are on Christmas. My order ended up being ready almost 50 minutes after I placed it.

    I absolutely love coming to T Jin's! As soon as you walk into the restaurant it feels so refreshing! The greenery at the door is so beautiful! You are welcomed soon as you walk in! With such a warm welcoming! The service is amazing! The menus have a really sleek design and easy to navigate through. I came in for the lunch special! The food was so fresh and great portions! The wait time is not long either. I started off with Hot & Sour soup! So fresh and the spice level was 10!!! I had tasty sweet and sour chicken & Spicy beef with rice! I definitely recommend coming here! You will not be disappointed!

    Just ordered from here through Uber eats. The food was ok, house fried rice I thought was good, but upon looking in my soup I found a bug and its wings floating, had to throw out everything unfortunately. I hate leaving reviews like this as it could've been a one off thing but unfortunately it's what was received and checking quality of orders could have prevented this

    Decided to Door Dash tonight and have been wanting to try this place. I ordered the crab Rangoon, which was very good, a side of fried rice and that had really good flavor, and the orange chicken. The orange sauce was absolutely incredible, however the chicken was way overcooked, tough and tasted old. It was actually hard to eat. I would actually rate this at a 3.5 because of the sauce, Rangoons and the fried rice were really good but the main portion of the meal was not edible.

While the service at Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant is friendly the food itself is not fairly average. We ordered the Triple delight and eggrolls to share as we tend to order too much food when trying a new spot -- a major disappointment absolutely no taste, meat, rice bland. if you are looking for authentic flavor profiles, distinct savory sauces, or consistent spice levels, this is just standard, run-of-the-mill takeout quality. It is not decent for a quick, budget-friendly lunch special, but it is certainly not the best in town. Don't let the parking lot fool you as it was full but definitely not patrons of this restaurant.

The first time, I simply made do with what I received. This time, I contacted the company because several items were incorrect. The gentleman who initially answered the phone was sweet as pie and tried to assist, but unfortunately, he didn't have a resolution for my issue. Shortly after we hung up, I received a call from someone who stated that he was the owner. He was initially very apologetic, and I sent him pictures showing what I ordered versus what I actually received. He explained that DoorDash posts the pictures of the food, not his company. He offered to refund me for two items, but I explained that I still wasn't satisfied because the one item I did receive was room temperature at best. At that point, the entire order was essentially a loss. When I asked for a full refund, I was told that I needed to return the food. I explained that the food had already been delivered, so I wasn't sure how I was expected to return it. That's when the conversation completely changed. The owner accused me of trying to get money from his company, said I was manipulating them, continued making disrespectful comments, and ultimately hung up in my face. That part bothered me more than the incorrect order. Mistakes happen. Food gets mixed up. Orders can be prepared incorrectly. I can understand all of that. What I don't understand is making a customer feel as though they are dishonest or trying to take advantage of your business simply because they are asking for a resolution to a problem. At the end of the day, my family still didn't have dinner, I paid for an order that was not properly fulfilled, and the biggest concern seemed to be defending the business rather than providing customer service. I genuinely wish the outcome had been different because I try to support small businesses whenever I can. But customer service matters especially when something goes wrong. How you handle the mistake can leave a much bigger impression than the mistake itself.

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.

When we finally got seated we weren't asked What would you like to drink or this is our drink menu. It was-Water,right?right?Ok brb. So we had water just like the rest of the people in there. Also weird how they don't have any drinks on the menu or let you know about options. Could I have asked for something else? Sure but again waitresses were just all over the place it was crazy. When we ordered and others food was coming out we realized what big portions they give you. BTW just 'cus it's big portions doesn't mean This food is about to be the best Ive ever had. The food- We got some shrimp plate and we were told it was spicy because it has peppers and peppercorns which would numb your tongue.It was just basic shrimp dish. Only good or cool part of it was eating lotus root which Ive never had before. We also ordered the "special" house beef noodles and I don't see the hype or why they're so special. The only crazy part was the noodles length. Which honestly made it hard to eat. We ordered the duck which came with the soup. The soup was made from scraps. I think if they had added more duck and not just scraps it would be my fav thing of everything we ordered. Will say it tasted like chicken soup. For the duck. It wasn't as crispy as people made it seem to be. I expect idk a more gamey flavor to it and all I kept saying is-This taste like pork carnitas. Idk why we got treated better than the table behind us. We asked for to go just like they did but they just gave them their to-go plates like Here ya go and they put all of our food in our to-go for us. Would I go back? Its one of those you say- Ok I've had it,had the duck,don't get the hype but ok not worth coming back again for more.

The restaurant is in a large strip mall and parking was plentiful. We arrived around 11:30 am on a Saturday and were surprised to see that the restaurant was empty. The waitress seated us promptly and was friendly. The decor is simple. The beef noodle soup was amazing! The broth was very hearty and flavorful; the meat was perfectly cooked and super tender and the noodles were the perfect accompaniment to the spectacular dish! The xiao long bao were also delicious. The wrapper was sturdy and the meat was well seasoned with a generous amount of soup. I like how each XLB was served in a foil container so that you don't have to worry about the soup dripping all over the place. The oil spill noodle had excellent flavor, but I wish I had ordered the hand pulled noodle. The fried fish was piping hot and crispy with a nice Sichuan kick. My diagnosis: one of the best beef noodle soups in the Houston area with other solid Asian staples!

    Hidden gem alert! My family was on our way to a Yelp Elite event up in Spring, TX, and in true Yelp…read morefashion, we decided to take the opportunity to try and support a local business with plans to write a review. So I did a search for Chinese food on Yelp nearby and voila! Noodle Kitchen we shall try. Now the ratings overall are good, but interestingly the vast majority of the reviews within the past year are all 5 stars. How is that possible? Could this place really be that good yet I've never tried it? The curiosity is killing you, I know. So let's dive in. Parking is always a big deal for me, and in this case, parking was no problem. It's a big parking lot with basically unlimited spots as it's in a large strip center. So far, so good. We arrived on a Saturday around 11:30 am hoping to beat the lunch rush - mission accomplished. We were the only ones there. Whenever I try a new Chinese restaurant that offers xiao long bao (AKA soup dumplings AKA XLB), I gotta try it. So we did. And it was excellent. The key is to suck the soup out of the hole on top. And If there is no hole, make one with a chopstick, and you won't spill the precious soup out of the dumpling. They also brought out the special XLB soy sauce with ginger. It was wonderful. Next we gotta get the beef noodle soup. And oh my, dare I say it: it might be the best I've ever had. Call me crazy, but don't call me crazy until you've tried it yourself. The broth was so rich and deep in flavor. I absolutely loved it. Zoom in on my photo. You'll salivate. The hot oil spill noodle was good but not great. I wish the noodles were hand-pulled like I'm used to (I'm spoiled, I know), but it was still good. And lastly, the crispy spicy fish fillet was quite good but a bit pricey and small in portion. The fish from Dumplings and Noodles by Cooking Girl is better, but the fish here is definitely something I would order again. So there you have it for food. Overall - very impressive and I would definitely come back and drive 45 minutes just for the braised beef noodle soup. The service was also really good. There was one older Asian lady who took care of us from beginning to end and she was great. Lastly the ambiance was surprisingly pleasant. Restaurant was spacious, clean, and they even have claw machines for entertainment. The big wonder is, for a restaurant so good, where are the customers? It was quite empty for a Saturday lunch, and we only saw a few to go orders while we were there. This is Spring's well-kept secret when it comes to Chinese food. Enjoy!

In a place like Houston, where you can get authentic Vietnamese food, this can be a luck draw if the fusion pays off. However, when I tried the food, it was a very flavorful and worth every cent I spent. Everything was very tasty. The wings were flavorful and crisp. It had a combination of crispy skin seasoned with a rich sauce. The meat was also moist. For a party of two, it was also very shareable because they gave six pieces -both drums and wings. I will say that you really gotta to get in there get your hands and face dirty though! (They did provide a hand wipe!) For the main dishes, the won tonic soup was very flavorful with sweet-and-sour elements with egg noodles that soaked up all this good flavor. The wontons inside were very standard. And the onion was added to provide some balance. Everything was very hardy and filling. My friend had gotten the vermicelli. Which came with crunchy egg rolls, shredded veggies, noodles, and shrimp topped with a fish sauce. It felt very light and refreshing with a balance of textures and savory elements'. Highly recommend as the number one and two selling dishes - it would just depend on if you're in a soup or dry noodle sort of mood. Service was overall fast and friendly. You have to pay by going to the counter. We had a newer waiter though, and it took him a long time to get our orders correctly and he had to get some help. Hopefully they're doing well, but overall, it's a very cute Homie little establishment. Seating fits around 30 around booths and tables.
