Customer Reviews
Great restaurant with authentic flavors and great family style portions. In my opinion the flavor was better in the Montrose location but this delivers quality as well. The chicken cubes were very strong on the MSG flavor. The Dan Dan was the best dish here, very flavorful. I liked the ambiance better at the Montrose location too, but this one had lots of indoor seating space.
Ordered the mapo tofu and green/white soup, both were great and big portions. Very reasonable prices. Forgot to take pics at the restaurant, so attached are pics of my leftovers. I plan on coming back :)
New look of Cooking girl , they are remodeling the whole restaurant, really elegant looking! Flavors are fantastic as always
The mapo tofu was really good but besides that everything else wasn’t something out from this world. I would go there again but it wouldn’t be a frequent place to come and eat.
In cooking girl’s stir-fried beef with broccoli, there was a yellow-green caterpillar in the broccoli, and then another yellow-green caterpillar was found in another broccoli. I drove from Austin to the MD Anderson in the morning for a cancer review. I didn’t eat lunch because I was going to have a CT scan, and I had to draw blood and do a lot of tests. In the afternoon, I became dizzy due to low blood sugar. So I came to eat at cooking girl just because their location is closest to the hospital. Because I was dizzy, I couldn't drive to another store, and I didn't have time to wait for her to replace a new one. The waitress said she would give me a discount instead of make a now dish for me. so I picked out the two wormy broccoli and didn't eat it, and ate the rest because I was rush to leave and I still have to drive a long way before the traffic jam. In the end, the waiter gave me the bill. The so-called discount they gave me was 10% off, which was a dollar off for my bill. Maybe they thought I was a low class woman, so I accepted ate food with worms in it. Simply because I was a very frail cancer patient who just had many exam from MD Anderson Canter center. They don’t respect people at all. If you don't want to eat disgusting bugs (more than one), don't eat at her house. Apparently, they didn't wash the vegetables at all.
