This is a casual Taiwanese restaurant in Houston Chinatown. The food was cheap and delicious, but the environment was slightly dirty and old. We got the oyster pancake, fried chicken with squid tempura, beef noodle soup and lurou noodle - all were very good and filling. There was complementary soup as well - though it was mostly sesame oil in hot water with some bits of egg and tomatoes. read more

It seems a bit strange how hard it can be to find Taiwanese food in a city like Houston but glad we stumbled upon this one! Its a very casual, cafeteria-esque restaurant with a pretty extensive menu. The owner was really nice but I think assumed I could speak Mandarin/Taiwanese but sadly I'm just a Canto boy. Anyways, we ordered with him and he gave us a number and explained the process in Taiwanese but we figured it out. Grab the items you need, get water if you want, sit at an open table and wait. I ended up trying the oyster pancake and the leek, pork intestine, and blood claypot. Both were great and really hit the spot for me (pro tip, their chili oil is great and adds another great layer of flavor). The oyster pancake had quite a bit of oysters and they were nice and plump. For those willing to try offal meats, the pork intestine and pork blood was amazing, flavors exactly what I wanted and cooked very well, nothing was chewy or over/undercooked. Prices and portions were also great and I was able to have my meal for 3 different days, and the third day I just overate. Overall, I'm glad to have found this spot and recommend it for anyone wanting Taiwanese food or to try something different. They have a lot of options and a really great deal for the more buffet/cafeteria style plates. Def can't wait to come back and get some more food! read more

I ordered the rail road bentos online and the process was quick and easy. The restaurant itself was reminiscent of those old school dining halls where you grab a tray and pick what you want going down the line. I was a bit side that I didn't see any pan fried bun available for sale at the counter cause I was hoping to grab some more snacks to go. The bentos itself were delicious and generously portioned. I'll definitely pick up again next time I'm in Houston. read more

Tainan Bistro - Fried chicken and pork belly rail road bentos - Taiwanese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I wish there is a Tainan Bistro where I live. During our recent trip to Dallas area, we swung by Houston and decided to give Tainan Bistro a try before driving back home. The restaurant is actually a lot bigger than I expected. There is a section of bento type food selection and then you can also order dishes off the menu, which is what we did. For dine in, we tried braised beef noodle soup, minced pork and rice, and a dried tofu stir fried dish. After a few bites of the food, I knew I had to place a to go order because I wanted to try so many more. We walked away with like...four bags of food. I had some of them portioned out so they are sitting in my freezer so I can have it when I have Taiwanese food cravings. I will point out also that I am not a fan of mi fen (rice vermicelli), but the nice gentleman suggested I try it, so I ordered one and omg, one of the best I've ever had. Love this place! read more

Despite a relatively large Taiwanese community, it's actually quite surprising (#1) that Houston doesn't have an abundance of Taiwanese eateries. Enter Tainan Bistro, owned by Mr. Hsu, a man from the same southern part of the island. (#2) There is no doubt, this is one of the last Taiwanese restaurants in the city. Cuisine wise, it's far from the best I've had, but it is a rare gem, a true dive, and should be protected at all costs. There's a lot of mixed signals here, from a well advertised "bento box" deal (4 items for a set price of $7.75), to everything being practically self-serve with plasticware, to almost zero air conditioning, and even a large sign in the back that advertises Vietnamese banh mi (#3). The restaurant is spacious with large and small tables far and wide, and an equally large parking lot to boot. They are trying to be everything to everyone, but somehow it's still constantly empty. The menu is authentic and very extensive. The variety of Taiwanese specialties is impressive, which includes items such as braised pork over rice (滷肉飯), beef noodle soup (牛肉麵), oyster pancake (蚵仔煎), and even the occasional stinky tofu (臭豆腐). They even have the steak platter (台灣夜市牛排) which is currently available for a $5 off for 8 anniversary discount discount. I was very impressed with their oyster pancake, despite the fact there was too much salad and sauce, but was loaded with lots of oysters. Another winner was their fried chicken rice plate (炸雞排飯) and the steak platter was nicely cooked medium rare with a nice bundle of egg noodles and an unappealing handful of previously frozen veggies. Their fried dumplings were surprisingly crispy and juicy and the Taiwanese fish tempura (甜不辣) and always popular popcorn chicken (鹽酥雞) were excellent. I wasn't the biggest fan of their braised pork belly with preserved veggies (梅干控肉) where the flavor was a tad overpowering and the the same boded for the beef noodle soup and its extra dark, murky broth. While most entrees have now eclipsed the $10 mark, I'd say the portions are substantial enough to merit them. I appreciate that the website is updated and pickup can be scheduled online. The staff is mainly Mandarin / Taiwanese speaking and parking is easier here than in most other plazas in Chinatown. I think there's still a lot here to love and I'm looking forward to finding out during my next subsequent visits. __________ (#1) And disappointing. (#2) Tainan. (#3) Don't do it. read more

No they don't got Banh Mi! Even though their sign may suggest it. This is a Taiwanese cafeteria place where lunch is super affordable and tasty. Just pay before you point at the items for the lady to scoop onto your plate. They sell prepaid discounted lunch card here. Never seen this type of thing but lots of people come in with their cards during lunch hours read more

Folks who grew up in Houston 20 years ago will remember this location used to be a food hall where a bunch of different shops had their own stalls selling food. The space largely looks the same, but has a seating hallway area now. Went here twice while I was in town. The owner is also Taiwanese which is a plus. Got the popcorn chicken, sizzling steak platter with black pepper sauce, and 蚵仔麵 (cut noodles?) For the money definitely really good bang for buck. I enjoyed all of the food immensely and they all tasted authentic. My only gripe would be that there's no air conditioning so make sure you use the self service station and grab some napkins and lots of water. Besides their main menu they also have a bento station where you pick and choose what you like. read more

No frills Taiwanese spot that hosts the best Chicken Steak Rice in the old Big Ten Cafeteria spot. As someone that used to love some San Dong and Star Snow, this place is THE place to go for it. What we got: - Taiwanese Pork Chop rice: Pork chops were decent sized with good flavored. Not fried/breaded but still good - Chicken steak rice: Delicious, tender chicken steak and definitely a clear winner - Pork belly with preserved veggies: Pork belly was saucy and flavor was fine, but this one didn't hit the spot - Chicken roll: Reminds you of Taiwan and a must-get if you haven't tried this before and/or if you like it - Three cup chicken: Super flavorful, lots of bones, but delicious overall They also have bento boxes where you can select rice + a few items that they load up at an affordable price. Great spot to check out if you're craving some Taiwanese comfort food read more

Ordered takeout here as our last meal from our weekend Houston trip. An authentic, modestly priced eatery, you really can see that it's all about the food here. Railway pork chop bento: Came with a pork chop, pickled greens, a braised egg, and rice. Simple, hearty, and delicious - nothing fancy but this dish doesn't need to be. The pork chop was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The pickled greens (mustard greens and edamame) offered a nice counterbalance to the richness of the pork chop, and combined with the rice makes you want to eat more with each bite you take. 5/5 Taiwanese style fried rice noodle: I'm usually not a huge fan of mi fen (rice vermicelli), but this place does it better than anywhere else I've tried. This vermicelli dish was stir fried with pork, mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, Chinese celery, and green onions. You can really taste the wok hei in this dish, which offers yet another layer to the flavor already provided with the seasoning and ingredients. Approved by a Taiwan native (gf)! 5/5 read more

Watch the amount of your order of fried rice noodles to go. According to the owner, the cook in the kitchen ""sometimes"" uses their hands other than a container to make it resulting in the amount could be little to very little. it's $14.07 after tax. to me, it's very expensive. Today, i went to the restaurant and ordered one fried rice noodles to go for the 2nd time in my life with the resturant. Surprisingly, it's full of the box with lots of fried noodles and ingredients, mushroom, cabbages, pork. the owner at that time was the cashier. However, one day during last week, i went to the resturant and ordered a fried rice noodles to go for the first time with the resturant, the amount of rice noodles just about half of my second order today with very few ingredients. at that time, i thought it was just that. at that time, an old woman was the cashier. the owner was not there. I called today and told the owner my two-time purchase experience. The owner didnt believe me and hung up the phone on me after i had told him "" very few rice noodles and ingredients"". i told him only one piece of some size pork meat. Then i called again because he hung up on me The owner said, ""the amount for an order will be different every time.""....but guys, think! When the difference is so big that you immediately want to make a call to alert the resturant and to let the resturant know what's up. What do you think? Wasn't that something wrong? I called today because the amount of the first order was ""way less"" than that of the second order. something was wrong there. Watch your order. the resturant was not honest? The owner is a male. The owner didnt want to hear it. Unless you have proof. I am an honest man. i didnt take a picture of my first time order of a fried rice noodles because i thought it was just that. But i was bothered by such little amount both noodles and ingredients when i was eating and afterwards. Something was wrong. read more

Agree with the rest of the reviews about prices and portions. You get a lot for your money here. There's a lot of variety on the menu to explore as well, and most of the items we've ordered tasted very decent for the price. For the price and portions, you're giving up on ambiance. This place looks like it was stuck in the 80's or 90's. And that's perfectly fine if you're just here for the food and value! read more

This place has the best beef noodle soup I've ever gotten in the states. The noodles were QQ (just right), the soup is flavorful and tastes just like how I remember them from Taiwan, and the meat. Man...the meat is how they won me over all the other places. Don't be intimidated by the huge chunks of meat. These are super juicy! I hate meat that's over cooked or too dry. Their beef noodle soup's meat was cooked perfectly tender. I got a balance of flakey juicy meat plus a bit of tendon in each bite. Will definitely be back for more! read more

We have been ordering delivery from Tainan Bistro for months, and I have to say that the food is always in point. The Fried Chicken Steak is nicely seasoned to be savory and spicy and fried to perfection. The Lion's Head meatballs are huge and delightful. The Braised Egg has a hint of 5 Spice along with soy sauce and smoky tea flavors. The Chinese Rice Box is the ultimate bargain, with 4 different meat and vegetable dishes with steamed rice. It is a surprise as to what the chef chooses to serve in each box, and each box easily feeds 2-3 people. We are very pleased every time we receive our delivery from Tainan Bistro. read more

I've returned a few times since my initial review, and I've enjoyed each experience since. I will say I haven't ventured far from cafeteria style combo plate. At $6.50 a piece, it's really enough for two meals is and my go to item when I need something fast that's not fried. I especially enjoy the chicken curry and stewed pork with bits of gelatinous fat. The dining room is as hole in the wall as it gets, so don't expect any sort or ambiance. It's functional... and that's about it. read more

So glad I discovered this hole in the wall Taiwanese restaurant. The beef noodle soup was a large portion that was generous with the noodles and beef. The soup is light, savory and not spicy. I loved the texture of the noodles. The dumplings were large and pillowy. I only paid $20 for both the noodle soup and dumplings. I want to come back and try their mapo tofu next! read more

A well known "secret" spot among Taiwanese locals in Houston, this place is unbeatable in terms of price and portions. Entrees vary from $7-9 in general for huge portions of rice/noodles and protein. The flavors of all their dishes have truly never disappointed me. And they're always friendly with a huge space/lots of tables. I do think it could be a little hot in the place for some people. Their central A/C is rather on the warm side with overhead fans going instead. Not bad! But a litttttle warm, even for me who prefers to keep the temperature warmer. Also, just as a note, $10 credit card minimum! I most recently got their beef noodle soup (not their house special one, just the classic one) and it was good! Very solid choice. Good portions, good flavor, good amount of meat and chewy noodles. My SO always gets their pork belly rice plate, which comes with a GOOD portion of chopped pork belly with a GOOD portion of vegetables over rice. The vegetables perfectly balance the pork belly so that the flavor isn't too heavy. And it's delicious and a big enough portion for him to feel full. Would highly recommend. Overall, this place is a hidden gem that locals love. Would highly recommend if you want to try some classic Taiwanese cuisine! read more

Not Sure why this place has a 4.2 star rating but it certainly wasn't close to that from what I experience. The food is not that good. Ordered the House beef noodle soup and it didn't have good portions of beef. Flavor was nothing special. Tasted more like just soy sauce in water. The oyster pancake was drenched in the sauce unlike what a picture showed with the sauce on top of a majority of the surface. The slimy ingredient was not pleasant. Perhaps I don't know what is supposed to be in it. Was expecting egg but that seemed to be sparse. The sesame noodle was heavy and thick with the peanut sauce and was difficult to swallow. Not that tasty either. I saw a patron eat only about 1/2 of his meal so that gave me the impression the food wasn't great for him either. The place does have patrons but I would not recommend to visitors nor come back. The bowls from the self service area was sticky and had some residual food stuck on it. read more

Graphic skin rash picture warning I understand that these are tough times and I believe we should support mom and pop stores. However, restaurants still shouldn't be selling food that has gone bad. I bought two boxes of food here Sun evening. The owner gentleman is nice even though the server isn't. I got two to-go boxes, $6 each. This was past 6pm on Sunday, and I got that there aren't as many fresh options available but I was really craving vegetables and I figured, This place is cafeteria-like so the turnover must be high enough (and food assumably fresh enough). I got the baby bokchoy (qingcai), bitter melon (kugua), braised pork, and eggplant in one box and another leafy vegetable instead of kugua in another box. This was the only storebought food I had over the weekend. By Mon night, I broke out into hives all over my limbs and trunk, and now that it's Tues evening, it's only getting worse even with Claritin and Benadryl. Times are rough but food safety standards shouldn't be compromised. read more

Absolute gem of a location if you're looking for Taiwan cuisine. My favorite dishes are the beef noodle soup and beef noodle dumplings.

Very delicious and affordable hole in the wall Taiwanese restaurant that sell different rice plates. The portions are huge and includes a bit of everything such as the meat, rice, veggies, pickled veggies, and an egg. I've had the popcorn chicken rice plate and the pork chop rice plate. I feel like the popcorn chicken used to have more flavor a while ago, but it seems to be less seasoned on my last couple visits. It's still very good however I would prefer how they seasoned it more back then. I would definitely come here for lunch especially if you want a quick budget meal that will fill you up! They also have a lunch bento option where you pick two meats and two vegetables if you're looking for more of a variety for lunch for about $6 to $8. read more

Went around 5:30 for an early dinner on a weekday and the place was quite deserted. There's only one English menu and it was taped to the counter, so here's your heads up if you're a non-Chinese speaker. Friend and I shared a bowl of bean sauce noodles, a rice plate with the purple rice ($5.5 for 2 vege sides and 2 meat sides), a scallion bun and a leek dumpling that were next to the cash register. Neither of us had cash and we were trying to make the $15 minimum.. Needless to say, we were stuffed and couldn't even finish everything. All the sides reminded me of home. They used 3 different types of noodles for the bean sauce noodle, which wasn't as flavorful as I'm used to. We were super indecisive and the uncle behind the counter was super patient and friendly and did not mind us taking our time and me translating for my friend. Will def be back with cash for the rice plates and the buns! read more

As a Taiwanese American, I was disappointed to see the food quality and selection. There was a lack of traditional Tainan dishes such as stinky tofu and eel noodles. The interior reminded me of a hole-in-the-wall place. The menu was obscenely long. Some of the bread rolls were frozen and not fresh. The dishes came in very large portions. One dish could be shared with four people. The mei fun noodles were decent. The minced chicken roll was lukewarm and lacked flavor. The black vinegar was the worst I've had and tasted as if it were expired. I think they have potential. It would be better if they shortened their menu and focused on a improving some dishes. It should be more about the quality of food rather than quantity of food. read more

Welcome Tainan Bistro 味佳香 to Chinatown. Although I'm not an expert with food from Tainan, but y'all hear me talk loudly with really good Taiwanese food. After departure of Taiwanese Yummy Kitchen 頂好小館, I received so many questions asking "where to find authentic Taiwanese food?" Especially for Metropole Center, there are cuisines from Hubei, Hunan, Hong Kong, Sichuan, Shanghai, Beijing and Xinjiang. Early this year, I discovered this Tainan Bistro. So, I updated my blog. https://iyelpalot.blogspot.com/2016/06/biz-at-metropole-center.html?m=1 I first heard about a Taiwanese restaurant opening from a co-owner of B10, the former restaurant at this location. I call this a benefit of my networking skill. So, my eyes were on this location. I told Mr. Hsu, the owner of Tainan Bistro about this story. He was happy. I'm here mostly for the lunch box $5.50 for 2 meats, 2 vegetables and choice of rices. It's either 5 grain rice or steamed rice. Although there ain't much meat in Taiwanese food, but I like every dish they offer. The buns are more moist than Shandong Noodle House, maybe it's because they're all freshly made. The prices are very reasonable. I can't eat too much starch, but the ones I tried were so delicious. I often share them at work, because they're sold in a group of 6 or 8. Besides what you see in the front, raise your head to read the menu board for cook-to-order items. If you want them in English, look for bilingual menu on the counter. It's much easier than using a Google Translator app. For this, I give them a high five. Every summer, I struggled to find a really good Taiwanese restaurant in Chinatown for my annual #TimeForTaiwan #ChinatownCrawl UYE. Yup, you guessed it. Stay tuned for my announcement. The following Chinese review is not a translation my English version: 我期待的台灣小吃終於來到休斯頓了。自從頂好小館離開之後, 這個購物中心卻少一個專門台菜飯店。我最喜歡快餐便當。 兩素兩葷才$5.50, 加了稅不到六塊錢。又好吃又省錢。味佳香, 贊! **18th review of 2017** read more

Similar to Star Snow with self serve drinks and utensils, you can either order at the cafeteria line or at the counter where the menu is. I got the beef noodle soup which is my favorite one in Houston. It's a big bowl with lots of noodles and veggies but could use more beef chunks. I usually get like 5-6 pieces in it. The soup is super flavorful and I can drink the whole thing (even if I shouldn't). I don't speak mandarin and the checkout people don't really speak English well so sometimes it's hard conversing with them but I just talk slow or point at the menu. The one on the wall is all in Chinese but the one taped to the counter has English. read more
