    Garlic Shrimp
    Morgan W.

    Discovered this place for lunch off of Yelp one day. The outside is very unsuspecting. They had the lights off so I thought they were closed. They were not, and in glad I powered through the dark (it was overcast that day) but only after a few more customers showed up! Ordered the spicy garlic shrimp. Massive portion. I love that it comes with so many veggies! Also got a side of fried rice but you can get steamed or brown. Also comes with a fortune cookie. All I can say is I went here two days in a row. You go and check it out. And if the lights are off, power through! .

    This food is FIRE I will def keep coming here (The food here is actually really good, I just do stupid things)

    The food is always fresh . I've never had issues. I think it's family owned. Owners are grateful for their customers and always make me feel welcomed. Their 1/2 and 1/2 plate is my favorite.

    I eat here probably once a month on work lunch. First of all I love Chinese food so I have numerous experiences to compare. The food is amazing. My favorite is Orange Chicken with Lo Mein. Chicken is tender and the noodles are thick Lo Mein like I prefer (not cheap spaghetti noodles). It seems more of a take out place than eat in, but sometimes I eat my lunch inside. Overall, you can't go wrong here.

    Pass by after dropping my friend off at Hobby Airport. Goodness, this is good. I've always been a fried rice eater, and this fried rice they made for me, delicious. The size, quality, quantity, that's my rice right here!!!! The environment is pretty chill. Clean, neat, and cute staff. What I like might not be what you like. All I can say come and try out yourself. I would recommend this place.

    This is a 1 entree plate for the price of $5.75.I ordered Fried Fish and fried Rice.I enjoyed it.

    I recently visited this restaurant after finding out that they have new owners and staff running this location.I visited this restaurant two days in a row after taking over a year hiatus because of the previous owners terrible business practices. I must say that I was impressed.The restaurant was clean, the staff was very welcoming, and professional.The food was cooked to order, and very taseful.They are generous with the portion sizes and the prices are reasonable as well. I recommend this restaurant.

    Not the best, not the worst Chinese food.  Total price paid for this is $9.25 including tax.  Portion was kind of skimpy.  Still hungry.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

    My mom wanted steamed fish with ginger, scallions, and that light sweet soy sauce. Hu's Cooking…read moredelivered! When we ordered, they mentioned it'll take about 20 mins but it came out in 10. No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

    IYKYK - this is probably the best Peking Duck I've had in Houston in a long time. I've done Peking…read moreCuisine for years and shifted to Arco for my duck cravings, but if you're willing to drive out to Humble (pretty much anytime you're in the IAH area), you gotta check out Bamboo House for the best Peking duck. And their other menu items are fire as well! We went on a Sunday late evening. We had a 9 pm airport pickup at IAH so it was a perfect opportunity to grab a spectacular dinner and make the 30+ minute drive out to IAH totally worth it. Parking lot wasn't too full so that wasn't an issue. While the neighborhood ain't River Oaks luxury, it ain't too scary either. We kept it simple - ordered a whole duck and Bamboo House Special Noodle with Beef. This place ain't cheap but the food is worth every penny. It was very busy that evening so it's not a well-kept secret but also proves that eventually, Houstonians will figure out where the good food is. The duck was near perfect. They serve the duck with the pancakes (as opposed to the buns like at Arco) which is my preference. The soup that comes with it was also extremely flavorful. And the house special noodles with beef - oh my. I swear it's just one really long noodle so you may be frustrated trying to divvy up the family style bowl, but the labor is worth it. So good... Can't wait for my next airport run so I can sneak in a lunch or dinner at this place. So many other menu items I want to try!

    If you are looking for the best Peking duck, look no further! Who would have expected to find the…read morebest Peking duck in Humble? I had previously visited the now closed Bamboo House on Westheimer and I remember being impressed by the food. I had to make an airport run and decided that it would be perfect timing to stop by this location. I highly recommend ordering the duck ahead of time, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the last ducks when we arrived around 7 pm on a Sunday evening. The waitress was super friendly and upbeat and the restaurant is older but well maintained. You can see where the food is being prepared/cooked and you can see ducks being cooked/warmed behind a glass window. The duck was absolutely spectacular with the perfect seasoned and tender meat accompanied by well rendered crispy skin. I love how the pancakes are paper thin and pair well with the scrumptious duck and other toppings. They also provide sugar and plum sauce as additional toppings which I thought was interesting but not my cup of tea. The duck soup was extremely flavorful and full bodied and went well with the duck. The noodles were also amazing with likely hand pulled noodles served with an abundance of tender beef and vegetables with a little Sichuan kick. I was intrigued by a strawberry chicken dish that I saw on the menu and I plan to try it the time. My diagnosis: hands down the best Peking duck in the greater Houston area!

    This little spot is my literal favorite place for fried rice. Everything is good but the fried rice…read moreis the best I've ever had! Pork Bao's are normally my daughter fave but the soup dumplings here are her favorite. She could finish an order on her own. The service is always great. As soon as you get in they give everyone a water and a carafe of more water. There is a QR code to order and you place your order on the phone. The order goes straight to the kitchen and you can add as you go if wanted. I always thought that was pretty cool. The owner came out to say hello and ask how everything is. She even brought out a small bowl of soup for my baby to enjoy. The waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I don't live close by but will make the trip when the craving hits. Today was one of those days. The last time I was here there was no ac and not enough seating. This time it was nice and cool in and well as having new seating! This little spot needs to be on your need to stop places!

The lady is really friendly and she gave us free tea one time. The spicy chicken cube is a must order and I'd throw the chili oil wontons to. Gives u a good idea of the style of food they serve. It's spicy but not overwhelming so. I recently tried the spicy fish with silken tofu to. That was great and it was a little numbing to with the peppercorns. For more standard fare the Mongolian beef is good, sour soup, scallion pancakes good, green beans too. Fried rice was only thing that was somewhat disappointing. It wasn't bad but just ok compared to how good everything else they serve. Definitely try it out
