Tiger Noodle House - Szechuan Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had heard about Tiger Noodle House through social media food influencers, with one saying this was their very favorite Chinese spot in Houston. While knowing that sometimes these social media reviews are done to somewhat exaggerate and advertise more than it's about giving truly genuinely honest reviews full stop, it did pique my interest because a lot of times, what's being posted by these social media foodies is still a really good suggestion to try! And if they're saying it's their favorite Chinese spot in town, by golly, it's got my attention because Houston is rich in good Chinese cuisine. And hey, Tiger Noodle House is closer to where I live compared to Bellaire Chinatown, which I frequent often, so perhaps this could be a new go-to! I was hosting a bunch of people at my place too, so it would make for convenient pick-up to bring back to my place. While I didn't order noodles in this go-round (in hindsight, perhaps I should have given the name of the establishment), the menu presents itself as a place where they have lots of good food options beyond noodles. Think of it like Trendy Dumpling, a place that makes a lot of really good food beyond dumplings. So I ordered pork belly, spicy fish, kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, intestines, eggplant, different beef dishes, green beans, mushrooms with veggies, so I did have a lot of variety. Overall, I think the mapo tofu was likely my favorite of the bunch, and the food was good. Spicy like Szechuan food should be. People enjoyed it. I just think there's something missing, not sure what. Because the flavor profile of the food is very Mala Sichuan-esque, but the dishes aren't quite poppin' all the way like Mala Sichuan. There is something that falls short in terms of satisfaction. Also, the pork belly came and while it was somewhat sliced, it certainly wasn't close to being sliced all the way and I had to take some serious time to make sure the slicing actually separated so that my guests could partake. Still, the food is solid. It's great for Rice Village to have this spot. Parking is somewhat limited, but I'm sure there are ways to park nearby and walk if parking immediately in the plaza isn't readily available. And the food was ready super quickly and the service was with a smile and with kindness. Lots of rice/utensils were packed in, so I do appreciate all of that. And yes, the food is tasty enough. But if you were to ask me to say if I would rank this as one of my favorite Chinese places in the Houston area, I would say it might not make the top 15. read more

Tiger Noodle House in Rice Village, Houston. Authentic Sichuan cuisine, and I mean real Sichuan. I was in a rush so I kept it simple with the Authentic Szechuan Noodle with sliced lamb ($14.95). Wheat noodles in a savory broth, thin slices of lamb that were genuinely good, pickled mustard greens, and cilantro. The star here is the numbing heat. This is not the Hispanic or American kind of spicy. This is Western Chinese, Sichuan-level numbing spice, and it delivers. If you love spicy food, this is your place. If you do not, fair warning, there are not a lot of non-spicy options on the menu. I would love to come back for dinner sometime when I am not rushing, just to try more of the menu. Service was friendly enough. The staff are nice, though I would not call it remarkable. Small things: the water tastes like tap water, and my Coke came out not cold, so I ended up pouring it over their ice, which was also made from the same tap water. Not the end of the world, just a little whatever. The food itself was impressive. Overall a good experience. I might come back next time I am in Houston, though I would probably explore other options too. Not the kind of place I feel I must return to, but a solid bowl of noodles if you are craving real Sichuan heat. read more

The noodles are great but the prices seem steep. Although I kind of think it's due more to location because the food is good but nothing out of the ordinary. I stopped in for a weekday late lunch so it wasn't very busy. The staff quickly sat us and served us. The noise level was mild so we were able to enjoy our meal and carry on a conversation with no issue. With the quick service I will grab some lunch but don't think I will go in with the whole family because I can only imagine what that bill would be like haha read more

I LOVE TIGER NOODLE HOUSE. I've been coming here since I was in college and their food and service never disappoints. Most recently I went with my boyfriends and got the kung pau chicken and an order of spicy beef cumin. Their portion sizes are HUGE and come with white rice on the side and we both left thoroughly satisfied. I've also gotten their garlic green beans and fried eggplant and spicy tofu dishes before and those are also all equally divine! They have tons of options for anyone who loves chinese food to order. The place is small but it's a great spot to invite some friends for a casual lunch or to order take out! read more

Food was done within minutes and everything was so hot. I ordered the tiger fried noodles and my friends got the veggie fried rice, orange chicken, and pork soup. Everyone said their food was amazing. The service was quick and everyone was really polite. I loved that they had their own custom and reusable chop sticks! I love using chop sticks but hate the waste of single use ones. Theirs were also more substantial, which was wonderful. The portion sizes were verryyyy generous so it made for excellent leftovers today. Great food, great price, great service. Would totally go back and would recommend to anyone!! read more

It's been years since I've gotten food from Tiger Noodle House (dined in & to-go). Service was good & food was prepped quick for takeout order. I used to love their dry fried Szechuan spicy sliced fish, but it doesn't hit the same anymore. Tasted dry and fish pieces were smaller than I remembered. Dry fried green beans w/ minced pork were good. Read decent reviews about the homemade tofu, however it was mid. Wished it was more savory. Should've ordered the mapo tofu instead. Not sure if i would come back to this place since there's other restaurants with better szechuan food. read more

Visited Tiger Noodle House while in Rice Village, Houston. The atmosphere was casual and lively, and the service was friendly and efficient. We ordered five dishes, and honestly, all of them were good. Standouts for me were the Mapo Tofu and the garlic eggplant -- two of my personal favorites, both full of flavor and done right. The Dan Dan noodles were perfectly cooked, and the beef and chicken dishes were impressively tender. Overall, a great spot for locals and absolutely worth a return visit. Saluti read more

I ordered the Taiwanese Sausage Fried Rice with light oil last night. I love all 4 fried rice options here btw. Tiger Noodle House is the best place for Chinese fried rice in TX, then Cooking Girl and Hu's Cooking right after imo. My entree was not only filling in amount, but noticeably authentic, very delicious, very moist, not too greasy, seasoned very well and very generous with ingredients. The sausage pieces had a subtly sweet n smoky aroma to them making the rice exotic in a way. Great, friendly service again. read more

Wanted to try this spot in Rice Village and finally found the means to. I ordered their version of Szechuan Chicken and Dan Dan Noodles. Their portions were good, I do think they need more spice. The Szechuan flavor wasn't apparent and we had no lingering effect. Flavor was there but if the spice isn't then it's a little offsetting. Overall, 6/10. read more

Our party of 4 arrived around 9:30 PM on a Sunday and we were the only ones there. We were seated promptly and when my friends got here, we ordered right away because we were so hungry and did not want to wait any longer. It felt like only 5 minutes later, they started bringing out a few of our dishes and then another 5 minutes later, all 8 of our dishes were out. We were making jokes that they took our telepathically on the way to the restaurant. When they brought the food out, we all said "wow!" In unison because of how fast they were. Food was on point. Noodles were super saucy. My favorite was the sweet and sour fried fish. Fish was super crispy and I didn't expect the fish to be so huge. We definitely ordered with our stomachs that night. Walnut shrimp is always good and they had a side of walnuts with it. Tons of veggies with the mongolian beef and chicken. Everything was delicious and portions were huge. I can't find anything to complain about. read more

I had a craving for some sichuan food nearby without driving to Bellaire and wanted to try Tiger noodle house. There was only 2 of us but we wanted to try everything. First up was the lover's beef app. This dish is served cold and is exactly the cold app we wanted. It is soooo nostalgic and with deep, rich flavors. It's not spicy at all but with delicious yummy chili oil and flavors. For main dishes we got, garlic eggplant, dry fried squid, sliced pork with chili, and mapo tofu. The mapo tofu and eggplant dishes stuck out. The flavors were exactly what we were looking for from these dishes. Eggplant with a thick, garlic, sweet sauce and super delicious. Mapo tofu with a great sichuan peppercorn taste and sooo good. The dry fried squid was not bad but a little underseasoned and the squid was a little chewy, probably would go for a fish instead. The flavor of the sliced pork was absolutely there but the pork itself was a little overcooked and tough to eat. Overall, the flavors were exactly what we were looking for and it definitely delivered. I would try some other dishes next time as well! read more

Tiger Noodle House has become one of those places I keep returning to for one simple reason: the food is just that good. The spicy wontons are always a hit -- soft, flavorful, and swimming in that perfect chili oil that wakes up your whole palate. Their spicy slices of poached beef are tender, rich, and full of that deep, authentic Sichuan flavor that's hard to find anywhere else in the Galleria. A lot of other customers say the same thing: the portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the menu feels genuinely authentic rather than Americanized. People even mention that it's surprisingly gluten-free friendly, and the variety of soups, noodles, dumplings, and dry pots makes it easy to find something new every visit. For what you get, it's worth the money. The only thing holding this place back is the service. The staff is polite but not attentive. They'll bring your food quickly, but they rarely check in afterward, ask how things are, or offer refills. It's very much a "drop it and go" style, and if you're someone who likes a more interactive dining experience, you might feel a little overlooked. Still, for me -- and clearly for a lot of other people -- the food outweighs the lack of engagement. In the end, Tiger Noodle House is a spot I come back to for the flavors, not the service. It's consistently good, always satisfying, and worth the stop if you're craving bold, spicy dishes in the Galleria area. read more

Needed a spot to grab dinner fairly late and this did the trick. We were torn for apps between soup dumplings and wantons, so we got both. Neither was super special. The soup dumplings had a fair amount of soup, were nicely constructed, and didn't fall apart, which I appreciate. The spicy wantons I would have liked to have had a bit more flavor, so they were a bit of a miss. We got Kung-Pow chicken and cumin lamb. First of all, the portions are huge. The chicken was exactly what you'd expect but a skosh better. I usually regret ordering cumin lamb as the texture and flavoring is just meh, but I actually really enjoyed this version of it. The onions and other additions were a really nice balance for the meat. The prices for the dishes we got were super reasonable but some of the other dishes can certainly get up there. Knowing how much food we got with the dishes we did, I would absolutely recommend sticking to something on the cheaper side and making an extra meal of it. read more

Tiger Noodle House is a staple in Rice Village because it offers that Sichuan menu in a casual student-friendly spot! Is it the best Sichuan option... no, but it makes up for this in price, convenience, and menu range. The menu is honestly pretty big, including options from super traditional items like entire fish to your standard orange chicken. Everything comes at about 6-8 out of 10 rating - satisfies your craving in a pinch. The service is pretty good, ordering to-go is quick and easy and a sit-down experience is usually pretty lively. Many of the employees are students who are just doing their best! I've been to Tiger noodle house many a time and will continue to come back! read more

The food at Tiger Noodle House was honestly a bit of a disappointment. The service was fast and everyone was very friendly. The restaurant itself is very cozy and a nice place to eat on a cold day. That being said, the food did not live up to the test. Maybe I just received a few unlucky pieces of beef in my noodle soup or they were having an off day. My beef noodle soup came out looking kind of thrown together and the beef was very tough. I am usually a pretty tolerant eater and will power through dry or tough pieces of meat, but I could not chew through the beef at all. Literally my teeth could not make a mark in the chunk of beef shank in the soup. The soup itself was a bit watery and lacked the typical garnish of pickled mustard greens. The wontons were fine--nothing to write home about but certainly no complaints. I would like to give this restaurant the benefit of the doubt and say that they had an off night. Or maybe they had to whip up a bowl of beef noodle soup very quickly to meet demand when beef noodle soup is a braised dish that takes hours to cook properly to ensure tenderness of the beef. Not sure if I will return, but it is a cozy place with friendly service. If I do give this place another chance, I will be avoiding the beef noodle soup. read more

There was a period of time where authentic Chinese restaurants weren't a thing in this part of Houston, but in the last 5 years an explosion of Sichuan based cuisine has found itself in all corners of the city and well beyond the loop. Tiger Noodle House has brought the heat (#1) to Rice Village and establishing a semi-legit option to the growing demand of Chinese cuisine in the loop. It feels like a huge gamble to set up shop in a place as granola and as commercialized as Rice Village, but it seems like it's paid off. They're open late and have a solid mix of authentic and Americanized dishes to appeal to most palates in the area. Considering the competition and growing Chinese contingent in the surrounding neighborhoods, it'd be safe to assume Tiger Noodle House is primed to handle it all. Overall the food has been consistent and abundant. The majority of the menu is Sichuan based but with some additional regional dishes outside of the cuisine. Their dan dan noodles have a nice kick to the oil and I was very pleased with their yuxiang eggplant as well as the cumin lamb. The winning ones were the shui zhu yu. (poached fish in hot oil) and chongqing style fried chicken. There have been some minor price increases since the pandemic, but foodflation is still minimal here. Service is good for the most part and the staff is young and hard working. Beware of the parking and be mindful of the traffic. ___________ (#1) Literally and figuratively. read more

The chili wontons were also amazing! Sauce was a little overbearing, but still good! We also ordered the mango milk tea with boba, and the milk tea tasted a little watered down with a kinda strong aftertaste. I wasn't a big fan of it, but I didn't have much expectations for it since this isn't a boba store. Service was also great! Servers checked up on us occasionally to make sure we were okay and even gave us guava candy at the end which was so nice of them! read more

My family had dinner here last night. The decor is very casual. The service was good. The food overall was just okay. I'm guessing the ratings are pretty high because the serving sizes are generous and prices are relatively inexpensive. We had: Hot and Sour Soup (4/5) - Probably the best dish of the night. Traditional and good flavors. Xiao Ling Bao (3.5/5) - Pretty good flavors. Skin is a bit thick (and doughy). Doesn't taste "freshly" made. Dan Dan Noodles (3.5/5) - Okay flavor, just kind of muddled without the "sharpness" of flavors of better variations. Orange Chicken (2.5/5) - Had us wishing for a certain "fast food" restaurant version of this dish! Overall, a 3.5/5 but doubt we would ever go back. read more

Tiger Noodle in Rice Village seemed like the perfect late-night spot. It is open until midnight, which was very tempting after my 9 p.m. dinner plans. But from the moment I walked in, something felt off. When I asked if they had Coke Zero, the server looked at me with a cold, blank stare and snapped, "No." It was not just the words, it was the complete lack of care behind them. After my Diet Coke arrived, I accidentally spilled it, and no one offered to help. Servers walked by as I sat there with a wet table, trying to clean up the mess myself. When someone finally came to wipe it down, they did so silently and ignored my apology. The meal itself was a disappointment. I ordered Mongolian chicken and, after one bite, noticed shrimp in the dish. This was terrifying, as I have a severe shrimp allergy. At that point, I did not trust the staff enough to send it back. The rice had an odd streak of black in it, and my friend's sesame chicken was equally flavorless and unappetizing. I had to get up from my table just to ask for a refill. No server ever checked on us. It seemed like no one was assigned to any table. The staff just drifted around without much attention to the diners. There are so many great places to eat in Rice Village. Sadly, Tiger Noodle is not one of them. The staff was indifferent, the food was subpar, and the entire experience left me wishing I had gone somewhere else for a comforting late-night meal. read more

I like the flavor of the food from this restaurant. This time I tried the beef wrap and Lamb noodle. I was not expecting the lamb dish to be a soup when I ordered it because I ordered from the noodle section on Uber Eats. However, it was a pleasant mistake. I enjoyed the flavor and spiciness of the soup. It came deconstructed (noodles and broth separated). It was a good portion size as well. I ate from it twice. The beef wrap was delicious too and came out nice reheated in the air fryer. I would say it was not wrapped tight, so the filling was falling out a bit. Tiger Fried noodle dish is a staple! Never can go wrong with that dish. Good flavor with big portions and good protein to noodle ratio. read more
