    Sweet and Sour Chicken
    Adonis Z.

    Disgusting, vile horse shyt. Rice was clearly not boiled correctly, it had way too much water and yellow when it was supposed to be brown rice. The chicken was not chicken. It was chewy and weird tasting my stomach hurts after one bite. The service was pretty nice. Now I'm going to Tiger Noodle House to spend double for good quality

    The food was delicious, I got the wing combo with 6 full wings and some delicious fried shrimp with rice. I would 100% return again

    Do not eat here. They don't clean their vegetable. I ordered a fried rice and I found a worm on broccoli after I finished half of the rice . Very disgusting! Food tastes greasy, I wonder if they ever change their cooking oil.

    Timmy Chans is a hood classic. I used to live in this area back when I was a little girl and it always hits the spot. This isn't a trendy or upscale place. This isn't a place you'd take a first date. This is the kind of place you come with your friends to get your weekend to a start. You stop by Timmy's and get your grub on and head to your next stop either a liquor store or the gas station for drinks. Timmy Chans has become a part of a friend outing ritual of ours for years. The amount of people I've put on this place they should have a photo of me framed here. This place isn't in the nicest area so stick to the drive thru so you can just grab and go. I don't typically eat in. The main things you need here are wings (Buffalo specifically with extra sauce), fried biscuits, Eggrolls, and general joes of you are into mall style Chinese food and are craving it. Their wings are huge and they have generous portions here. The employees here have been working since I was a little girl. They are some of the most patient people I've ever met. Seriously some people can be so disrespectful and racist towards these workers and it's heart breaking. Support your local hood favorite. I only wish they'd bring back the Boudin Balls :(

    I've been to many Timmy Chan's all over Houston and I have to say that although this location is looking kind of sketchy from the outside, the inside was surprisingly better looking than I expected. At least, it's a lot better looking than the Timmy Chan's that I frequent in the SW side of town on Bissonnet. The order counter has a partition glass (that I assume is bullet proof) which is a new for any Timmy Chan's that I've been to, but not surprising considering the area. If you've been to a Timmy Chan's before, then you know that their chicken wings are pretty awesome and this location is no exception. four piece wings + roll + rice will run you a little over $5 after tax which is super reasonable. Will definitely include TC's in my lunch rotation!

    This is my cracked tooth

    This is not a good place. I was eating some chicken and my tooth cracked. Tried to contact the owners but was given the run-around. The lady at the drive through told me that my tooth was already cracked and that I needed a receipt ( use the cameras that y'all have). I'm still waiting on someone to contact me

    The other day my co-worker and I were talking about fried chicken while eating at popeye's during their two piece tuesdays special. And we talked about why, can't you get a good cheap chicken meal other days of the week and we both were like we need to visit timmy chans! So when we were hungry today, we drove to the nearest location. I must say this is one of the cleanest locations I have ever visited. It is spotless in the dining area. The inside was actually quite cool. I had the wing and shrimp fried rice special. I added in one of their sweet kool-aids too. Their combo is so much food. I eat a lot and I could not finish it all. It comes with 6 full wings, so 12 buffalo wings. And a full container of shrimp fried rice. This will give me my Asian Soul Food fix!

On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.

Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

My friend Aurora wanted to meet Donna early dinner and gossip session and she really liked this place. (We tried having a team lunch at the Rice Village location during the cold front last Oct but they had no heat so we opted for a warmer place but she grabbed a to go on the way home) Here we are for a late lunch 3:45 pm on a Friday. Parking was none had to drive around the block and saw some movement and bam, someone was leaving. We ordered at the bar, staff was super nice and opted to sit outside. Did not realize they deliver to the table. Order: Mongolian beef combo with fried rice and egg roll $14.99 The food comes in takeaway style containers. Win. Mongolian beef (2.5/5) - slightly over sauced for me; beef was pretty tender and there were carrots and edamame which is not the standard so maybe that's what makes it fusion? Fried rice (3/5) - standard style fried with small pieces of bean sprouts which I love so that was a nice surprise Egg roll (3/5) - I assume it was chicken because I didn't realize there was a choice) - it was crunchy and soft on the inside which I like, and pairs well with sriracha (did not eat till I got home) They seem to do a whole lot of take away. The staff were nice and hard working. I was excited when they first opened bc they had chow fun on the menu and being HK Cantonese, I love that dish but when I ordered it the 1st and 2nd time eight years ago instead of bean sprouts they had cabbage and that alters rhe flavor tremendously. I see why it's popular among the people but just don't think it is for my taste.

I followed the instructions exactly as stated, but when I mentioned it, the server initially refused to honor the promotion. After I pointed out the sign, she appeared upset and walked away. I saw she went to speak to another employee and cracked a smiled and looked over. She later returned and offered a small discount instead. The issue wasn't about the money or the discount, it was the principle. The promotion was clearly advertised, and I simply followed the restaurant's own policy. It was disappointing to feel like the restaurant was reluctant to honor something they were actively promoting. I hope management addresses this because customer service and consistency with advertised promotions make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
