They offer a variety of Americanized and more authentic Chinese food options, specifically Schezuan style. Walking in, this restaurant is pretty spacious. They're able to accommodate a party of 10 with ease. Service wise, it's pretty quick and the food always comes out piping hot. I recommend ordering family style so you can try a little bit of everything. My top recommendations: Eggplant in garlic sauce, 3 flavor pepper chicken, salt and pepper shrimp, sizzling w/ 3 delicacies, shrimp dry hot pot, stir fried string beans, sizzling black pepper beef, biang biang noodles, and the beef tendon. Regardless of what you order here though, our group has always had a great time here, enjoy!

The wonton noodles were so tough you couldn't cut into them. The pork had no flavor. The chunks of chicken were dry and rubbery. To top it off, I found a long sliver of metal in the food. There was only three other people dining at just after 12 noon, so that should have been a warning. In this places prime, they were packed for lunch. I hate giving bad reviews, but this place has become a red flag.

I got the sashimi lunch and it had tuna, white tuna, salmon, and yellow tail. The sashimi wasn't the best it was a 2/5. It was a bit chewy and the white tuna had the texture of being half cooked and half raw. The best sushi was the premium scallop nigiri, it was smooth and melts in your mouth. The hot and sour soup I received with the lunch special was a bit bland. The service was subpar the server wasn't unfriendly. It was just an item was missed that we ordered and I had dirty dishes(plate and spoon). The inside was average sized. They have tables and booths.

Well, Covid killed their business but even before that, they just weren't really on their game for a minute. Fast forward to yesterday when we're in the Pasadena area to buy some work shirts, we're feeling a burger so we're going to the place next door but something just didn't jive when we walked in. Walk outside to drive off and see this place next door - we're always in the mood for some great Thai so wife and I decide to stop in. Man 'o man - did we hit the jackpot with this place!! The feel of this establishment is definitely a feel-good Asian restaurant that will do whatever it takes to make you feel at home. Add the fact that the chicken pad thai literally took my wife back to 15 years ago when we found our place in Jersey Village, but when I tried the chicken red curry that was really hot even at just the "number 4" factor? So sad that they apparently only have one location? We'll be coming back again and again!!

This is one of THE best Thai restaurants I've tried in Houston and honestly it's a…read morehole-in-the-wall. It's right outside the beltway on the east side of the city so it's a little harder to get to, but it's so worth it. The menu was surprisingly huge with so many good options. They don't play with their spices, so make sure you know your spice tolerance. You can't go wrong with the famous Pad Thai that they make extremely tasty here. The green beans xo sauce was phenomenal as well - whatever they coat it in really elevates the flavor and makes the vegetable much more enjoyable. I also wanted something light and hearty so I got the jungle curry. The two tone Thai tea was good, nothing extraordinary but will still satisfy you if you want a milky drink. It's essentially just Thai tea mixed with Thai green tea so if you've ever wanted them mixed together and weren't able to at other places, it doesn't hurt to try here (it's the same price as the regular ones anyway). And for the star to end the meal was the infamous mango sticky rice. By far the best I've had at any restaurant! The mango was perfectly ripe, the sticky rice was a perfect consistency, and the coconut milk was perfectly smooth. Absolute cinema. I would come back here just for this! Our server was very kind and attentive, the atmosphere was clean, and the restaurant was tidy. Highly recommend this place to everyone, it's worth the drive!

***Tip-Shaming Alert***…read more This could easily be a four-star review for my pick-up order were it not for the quasi tip-shaming at the counter and the mediocre egg roll that had obviously sat in a warmer much longer than it needed to. First, the food here is delicious (for the most part); the employees are kind; and this place is as clean as it can be. The hot & sour soup here is among the best in the area. It has a little zing and plenty of velvety egg strands. It's fun and flavorful. The steamed dumplings tasted like they were made with TLC, unlike the afterthought versions at so many other joints these days. The chicken fried rice, which I did not sample, received rave reviews from the family. The General Tso's Shrimp was absolutely divine! Plump shrimp encased in a light batter, with a wonderfully piquant sauce. The egg rolls, however, were a total miss. Check out my photo, and you'll see one egg roll that's as flat as an envelope, while the other is round. Though you cannot see in the photos, there were also indentions on the (flat) egg roll from a warmer rack. In addition to it being flat, it was stale. The other egg roll was fine, albeit mediocre and not worth a future order. Why would someone in the kitchen think that it's OK to keep something in a warmer for hours and serve it to a customer? Finally, the internet wasn't properly working when I picked up my order, so they had to bring a dude from the back to crank everything up again. My order was $40 and change, and he looked at me and asked me what tip I would like to add. My answer? "No tip!" I'm sure they weren't happy, but I couldn't care less. -- I placed an order over the phone, drove to the restaurant, waited at the counter while they worked out their internet issues .... and then arrived home to realize that I paid for an egg roll that would've been fresher at 7-11. And they want a tip? Seriously? As I've mentioned in previous reviews, a gratuity is a gratuity. If you ask for it, you won't get it. If you work the counter and basically hand me a bag, you probably won't get it. And if you put me on the spot at the counter, not only will I say "no tip," but I will also let the world know that they will be guilted into paying for something that the business itself should be taking care of. Rant over. By all means, patronize this place. The food is delicious. Just don't let them serve you an old egg roll or guilt you into paying the salaries that they should be paying.

I would try the other flavors coming again!

We stopped there for our first time. The ambiance was nice and the restaurant was very clean. There…read moreweren't very many people inside and we were seated immediately. The waitress was very attentive and came to the table quickly. We ordered water and looked at the menu to find our selection. My date ordered chicken and noodles and I ordered two types os sushi. The chicken and noodles and one of my sushi orders came pretty quickly. As I was eating my first order of sushi, I noticed something odd on one slice. I picked it off and realized it was a piece of plastic. I put it to the side and, regardless of the plastic, finished my order. My date finished her order as well, and my second order of sushi had yet to make it to the table. Several other orders of sushi went out, but still no glory on my second order. Twenty plus minutes later, I told the waitress to cancel the order, and showed her the piece of plastic on my plate. She and another staff person examined it and spoke to each other in their own language. Not very professional, but, sadly, not unexpected. They went to the back with it and then the waitress came to the table and said the manager would take 10% off the bill. Okay... I guess that's the going rate for foreign particles in your food order and one order that never made it to the table. When the bill came, I paid for what was received and left. Once again, a one and done. It truly saddens me how poor the food service industry has become. I can understand how restaurants fail so quickly with the low standard of service and quality that exists.

Food: 4.3/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.3/5 I got the Daddy Duncan's Beef Miso Ramen, and it was pretty solid. Though the meat in there wasn't as tender as I would've liked it and the eggs were more of a hard boil than a soft boil, the actual flavor of the broth and the texture of the noodles were really good. I came in on a Wednesday night around an hour prior to closing time, so the waitress was fast in taking our orders, though at times I did feel rushed and felt like they just wanted us out of the restaurant (which is reasonable, but I still felt rushed to eat and pay). This restaurant is featured on the BAHFL card (a card meant to encourage users to try out restaurants and get discounts for their meals), but whenever I asked, she questioned what I was saying and I ended up just paying as is without the card discount. Other than what I previously mentioned, though, this place is still good and is definitely worth trying out, though just not during later hours.
