The restaurant is located off 59 feeder and parking can be challenging at times. The restaurant is clean and usually quite busy. The staff is nice and straightforward. The dishes that you must get are the Sichuan style Biang noodle or the regular Biang noodle. The noodles are freshly made and super long and thick. The sauce is so delicious and pairs so well with the perfectly chewy noodles. The amazing fish is also a must order dish. They use flounder that nicely seasoned and coated with a perfect coating that is crispy and so addictingly delectable. Somehow it is so light and crispy and doesn't feel greasy. My diagnosis: come here for scrumptious amazing fish and Biang Biang noodles!

I love the concept of this restaurant but it seems they missed the mark…read more It's a casual dining experience Asian infusion bbq, with great outdoor seating. Staff was very friendly as well. Food was just not impressive. Crispy ribs were ok, just seems lacking in flavor and all I could really taste was the smoke. I was thinking they would be dripping in sauce, but they weren't. Not really falling off the bone or anything as far as tender. 6.2.10 Brussel sprouts were not great. Very bland and a little mushy. 3/10 Salmon was pretty good, feel like this dish really hit the Asian fusion theme. Nice apricot sauce or something similar with seaweed and pickles. 7.1/10. Chicken Karaage was phenomenal, but an appetizer can't save the whole meal. Dipping sauce was awesome, perfectly fried and balanced flavor. 8.7/10 Con fritters were also a must try. No notes. Try it if you like corn. 9.1/10 Potatoes were also very nice. At the end of the day they are just taters though. 6.6/10. Wanted to really like this place heard great things. Would check it out again to try more things in the menu and the brisket which is only served after 4pm.

This is inside Finn Hall. They make a unique type of concoction where noodles meet curry. The menu…read moreis different with the way they combine noodles into things you wouldn't normally expect. I tried the curry noodle and the Thai flavors were there. You definitely get your money's worth with the portion size. The noodles were almost like linguini mixed into the curry, which was interesting. There were charred pieces of chicken in it, and I think that's where it missed for me. The chicken didn't really blend well with the curry. I feel like if it was more of a tender, stewed-type chicken, it would've worked better. I also think the dish would've hit more if the curry was thicker and less brothy. It felt more like a big bowl of curry with noodles added in, instead of the sauce really coating everything together. Service was quick.

Service was excellent and I honestly like the location they have despite it being in downtown…read more There's a parking garage next door and it was easy to navigate to.

I was literally the second person in line, and also ordered the soft shell crab and peppered tuna baos. It was just as I remembered. Quality small bites. The burrito was 15.00, and was a little too much to eat at one time. I ate about a quarter at a time, spread out through the next few meals. The restaurant is a few communal tables, mixed with some small tables for 2-4 people. I'll be back.

The crab rangoon burrito didn't really taste like crab rangoon. It was extremely creamy and heavily filled with cream cheese almost to the point of being overwhelming. After a few bites, it started to feel a bit sickening, and I don't think I could finish more than one slice. It was missing that traditional savory, umami flavor, and instead tasted only like cream cheese. The outer layer also didn't hold up well. It wasn't strong or crispy enough to support the filling, so everything felt soft and fell apart. It honestly made it difficult to eat without a spoon (which they did include). It was also overpriced at $16. The service was good and the ambiance was pretty standard.

The interior of this restaurant is really nice, and the service is great. Perfect for a lunch date.

I was skeptical about this one but turned out to be one of my favorites Pepper pepper steak cube - i opt out for the peppercorn 10/10 Whiskey shrimp on fire - they set it on fire at your table! the dish itself is really delicious 10/10 Dessert: Nutella xiao long bao - these are delicious but only if you like chocolate bananas! Not sure if they offer a non banana version. 9/10 Overall: 10/10 will be back!!! (Especially to update this photos!)

I really wanted to like Wanna Bao because the presentation of the food was beautiful, but overall,…read morethe taste just did not live up to the visuals for me. We came with a group of 18 people, and the bill ended up being around $972. Unfortunately, most of the dishes were more impressive visually than flavor-wise. The colorful green fried rice looked unique, but honestly just tasted like regular fried rice. The green beans were overcooked, so they lost the crunch and sweetness that usually make that dish enjoyable. The green curry was extremely spicy, but outside of the heat, it wasn't very memorable. The shaking beef dish looked amazing presentation-wise, but the sauce was too sweet for a savory dish, and the crispy rice pairing just didn't work well for me. I initially thought the duck dish was Peking duck, but it was actually the Jasmine Tea Smoked Duck. Even so, everyone at my table agreed we still preferred the traditional Peking duck style. The duck itself lacked flavor for us, and the skin was soft instead of having the crisp texture we were hoping for. The only dishes I genuinely enjoyed were the soup dumplings, cucumber salad, and fried dumplings. Most of the other dishes at the table were barely touched. If you're looking for colorful, aesthetically pleasing food and great presentation, you may enjoy this place. But if flavor is your main priority, this spot just wasn't for me personally.

Monk's has officially become our Houston tradition. We drive in from San Antonio, and this is a…read morenon-negotiable stop for us every single time. Honestly, every dish we've ever tried here has been fantastic--it hits exactly the right spots. The Flavor Profile: A quick heads-up for those seeking "authentic" traditional Chinese--this isn't it. This is the Indianized version of Chinese food (Indo-Chinese), so prepare for bold spices and a serious kick. If you grew up loving those specific flavors, Monk's is the gold standard. The Verdict: The heat is on point, the portions are great, and the flavors are nostalgic and bold. It's the kind of meal we look forward to all the way down I-10. Truly a gem for anyone who appreciates the spicy, savory fusion of Desi Chinese!

I walked in and the spices were spicing so much so that I started sneezing. I asked if maybe the dining area was through some door, but no there is no dine in. It's a small space with a register and seats to wait for your order or you can wait in your car. Food: 4/5 Chicken Tikka Masala it was creamy and velvety, I'm not a big fan of tomato but know is a core part of it, which I did distinguish the taste in this order that I haven't usually tasted in others. The garlic naan had good flavor however it was a bit tough and crunchy when biting into it. Which wasn't my favorite, but got the job done to dip into the sauce.

When I requested a printed copy for my records, I was extremely disappointed to discover they charged the tip based on the total bill amount (including tax!) rather than the subtotal.
