    Pan Fried Mini Buns
    April K.

    Yelp had sent me a notification that this was a new, hot spot a few weeks back so when a friend wanted Asian for lunch, I immediately remembered this recommendation. The staff was very friendly and had our vegetable spring rolls and fried crab rangoon out quickly. The Spring Rolls were so fresh and crispy. I've never been a big fan of these type of rolls but I would definitely order them again. For our meal we ordered an assortment of items: -colorful pan fried dumpling which is 2 each of shrimp & pork & chive, curry chicken & potato. shrimp paste, bok choy & mushroom. We loved all but the curry ones. I highly recommend this as it's a delicious sample of their dumplings -Pork and shrimp soup dumplings. I had never had anything like this. They were literally like little soups in each dumpling and came out hot as hot and flavorful treats. -Pan Fried Mini Buns - these were ok. The didn't stand out like the other items. I had a hard time not giving them 5 stars but I had an empty water glass at the edge of the table 10-15 minutes and it wasn't filled until someone stopped by to check on us. I would definitely come back though and recommend them to others!

    This place has some work to do. I believe they were overwhelmed with the amount of people in the place. It took us forever to get our food and they forgot a few dishes we ordered. The food portions are tiny and was not tasty at all not to mention overpriced. I have never had peanut sauce that tasted like melted peanut butter. We will not be going back.

    Considering the restaurant hasn't been open that long, it was surprising that their menu was outdated. Their menu advertises noodle/soups coming with a side, but we were informed by another server (after ordering) that this was no longer accurate. Our serving was very kind and struggling, and in need of more training that was not occurring. Service definitely needs continued improvement as the restaurant continues to solidify their presence. The steamed dumplings were very nicely steamed and came out hot. The spicy beef soup had a solid flavor profile to it. Atmosphere was relaxed, even as more people started showing up later into lunch time. Their sodas as served in a can, and water served from a filtered pitcher, as they do not have a machine. We would return for the dumplings.

    Not bad, not the greatest! Being from California, it's tough to review this place. The service is decent, the manager was kind to follow up on us but the food was honestly just mid for me.

    Freshly opened, these folks aim to please. Dumplings of a vast variety all made to order. From steamed to boiled to soup dumplings to a few pan fried options. Something for everyone. The soup dumplings are filled with a substantial broth and are very tasty. Everything we ate was amazing. I went with a colorful variety plate and the only one that won't entice me a second time was the mushroom bok choy option but only because I'm not a fan of bok choy. The chicken curry was unique and packed with flavor. One of our orders was delayed and the owner insisted we have a complimentary order of crab Rangoon to compensate. Wildly good and not necessary for a minor hiccup but thanks!

    This is the second time coming and the food is why. We were disappointed this time around due to the male server. My food came out within 10 minutes which was nice I ordered the soup dumplings, (delicious) However my husband order the hibachi plate, we understand it would take longer to cook and when we arrived the restaurant was not at full capacity. To say the food took longer was an understatement. I would've been move understanding if the server would come around to tell us we weren't forgotten about. Instead another server dropped off my husband's food after 30 minutes and afterwards took our payment. It wasn't until we were leaving that he came by one last time to get the plates off our table.

    Eh, my dumplings were flavourless and I ordered the spicy ones. Good boba, but were out of milk tea. Friendly staff.

The service was excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised by how many vegetarian options they offered. We ordered the kimchi, kimchi fried rice, vegetarian dumplings, and mapo tofu. Every dish was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The portions were also very generous--we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. It's not always easy to find restaurants with so many great vegetarian choices, so this was a wonderful find. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

The waitress was super nice, however it seemed like she just started and only had minimal knowledge about the menu items. The wonton soup appetizer was a very generous size and the wontons were tasty and the soup was very flavorful and light. The braised beef noodle soup was good but nothing special. The noodles were not uniform which makes me think they might have been hand pulled noodles. The pork xiao long bao was okay only because the broth had little flavor with minimal dimensions. The pan fried pork and scallion dumplings were crispy and quite flavorful. My diagnosis: good authentic Chinese option in the woodlands.

I rolled up on Chef Chan's yesterday after a day of Christmas shopping (more accurately Christmas pickups, who can risk "shopping" these days). Wish I had gotten here sooner. We ordered Mongolian Beef, Chef Chan's Beef, egg rolls and fried dumplings and all were among the best I ever had. The egg rolls were crisp and hot and not one bit oily. The dumplings were fried on all sides and filled with a pork filling that was superb. The Mongolian Beef was not too sweet and paired beautifully with the rice. And the very best? Chef Chan's beef. I had scoured the menu for orange beef which serves as a litmus test for me when I'm trying a néw Chinese place. Sadly, there wasn't any on the menu. I asked the waitress about Chef Chan's beef and she said it was his version of orange beef and I was all in. This beef is barely breaded but fried to a delightful crispness. There is no visible sauce but the essence of orange resonates in each bite without overwhelming. The portions were huge so I got two meals out of it but I was ready to hurry back for more. The very best! COVID-19 precautions are in place with masks and hand sanitizer required. Meals are served in solid takeout containers which is both safe and convenient.

Excellent service and consistent flavorful fresh food. We can see them making wonderful dishes through a visible glass enclosure.

You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Some of our favorites include the cucumber salad, BBQ pork buns, pan-fried beef dumplings, spicy noodles with sesame sauce, sautéed string beans with garlic, pan-fried rice cakes with shrimp, shrimp and pork wontons with spicy sauce, steamed chicken dumplings, and Mongolian beef. The crispy beef roll is my personal favorite! The popcorn chicken with basil is crispy and delicious, the pineapple beef is great, and the tornado fries are so much fun and incredibly crispy. Everything we've tried has been delicious! My main complaints are the business hours and the temperature inside the restaurant. Closing at 9:00 p.m. on weekends seems way too early, especially for a restaurant. The last-call issue is also consistently a problem. We were not told that it was last call, and around 8:50 p.m., my kids wanted to order a few small items, including dessert, but we were told, "Sorry, the kitchen is closed." Then, as soon as it gets close to closing time, it really feels like they are trying to rush customers out. Since we dine here almost weekly, this has been an ongoing and consistent issue. The restaurant can also be extremely hot inside depending on where you sit. The AC does not seem to work very well, which can make the dining experience uncomfortable, especially during the warmer months. I really wish they would either stay open later on weekends or clearly let customers know when last call is before the kitchen closes. I also hope they can improve the AC. Aside from those issues, the food is fantastic, and Mimi's Garden remains one of my favorite places to eat!
