Dragon Express
Hella cool asian bros in the kitchen. Place smells like the 90s. POS system to match. Got the ancient fish paintings on the walls. AND complimentary egg roles. The cherry on top is fortune cookies that give you an ACTUAL FORTUNE, none of those ambiguous non-prophecy statements. This place is incredibly authentic if what you're looking for is classic Americanized Chinese takeout. The best way to describe this food by closing your eyes and pretending it's 2010. The prices have barely changed, the food is delicious and everything is right in the world. I will be back.
Generous portions for the price. The food was really good, too! My husband and I were impressed and will definitely order again. Love that they deliver in our area.
Wok N' Roll
This was hands down, the worst curry chicken I have ever had. The bowl to the left in the photo I included is the onion and vegetables that came with the chicken. The actual chicken is on the right. I would complain that it's way too much vegetables and hardly any chicken but, the chicken tastes like it was boiled and unseasoned. The onions tasted awful. It tasted like they boiled chicken pieces and onions and bamboo shoots and then added curry powder to the mix. Extremely bland. The fried rice was as bland as white rice and there is no egg or vegetables in the fried rice. I tried to eat it but I couldn't. Extremely disappointed. My daughter got sweet and sour chicken and the chicken was soggy and the sweet and sour sauce tasted like vinegar.
I had called and was told 15-20 minutes for two sushi rolls. I waited patiently and the lady kept telling me 5 minutes almost every 2 minutes and finally actually started making the food 15 minutes after while just standing there. When I got the sushi rolls it was the tiniest rolls ever and had no flavor. Luckily the spice and soy sauce helped but it barely made up for the taste. No flavor whatsoever so ever and not worth it. I payed $18 for it. Not worth it at all. I don’t recommend.
Great Wall Chinese Cuisine
Slow service, and dirty restaurant. Food was ok. Crab Rangoons were the best and super good though! Chicken was not cooked well and very small portions compared to most restaurants I've been too. Rice tasted like the frozen rice I get at Walmart. All in all, it was ok. But I doubt I'd go back unless it was the only place open.
I live 40 miles west, and this is pretty much the closest Chinese food for me. I like Great Wall. You get to see the food being prepared right behind the counter (so you know it's freshly fried), and the ladies are always friendly. I think the stand-out is the portion size for the price. It is generous (by today's standards). Many places have DEFINITELY reduced what they give you to pad the bottom line, but not so at Great Wall. $50 gets you a HEAVY bag of food. And the food is good. I have never had any problems. Well, one thing I wish they would do is to dismantle the TRULY AWFUL relic of 2020 -- a tall plastic partition with a TINY access hole at the payment counter. It's both an eyesore, and makes the entire transaction unpleasant. Let's hope they get rid of it . . . SOON! In the meantime, just "walk around the side" and talk to the lady face-to-face so you can hear each other! But that's my only gripe. They are very good at getting orders correct, and the food is always hot and appetizing (well, not quite so hot after driving home 40 miles, but that is my own making of a problem) :-) All around a 4.5 out of 5.
Hunan Garden
My entire family has been going here for 20+ years. Nights, weekends, holidays you name it. Food is always delicious. We have had my daughter's birthday dinner here every year (her choice) for as long as I can remember. Just had it two weeks ago. There is a nice area in the back we can fit our very large family. Thank you guys for always accommodating our family and the great service.
I was out here in Rosenberg for work looking for a place to eat. I called about 8:37 pm to do a to go order. Instead of saying you’re past the 8:30 cut off time, they said we close at 9 pm. I said not a problem I could be right there. I arrived about 8:45pm my to go order was ready to go. I received excellent customer service from the beginning when placing the order and when picking up my 1st order. I ordered chicken friend rice and an egg roll. The food was great, packaged properly, portions are great and very tasty! I decided tonight I wanted to try them a 2nd time. Just like before, great service, great food, packaged properly, and very tasty. I also got the egg drop soup this time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you to the staff at Hunan Garden! =)
China Gourmet
I was really hoping for a great meal from China Gourmet, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The food was average at best, and some dishes were disappointing. The lemon chicken was greasy and overcooked, making it nearly inedible. For a meal that cost over $40, it’s frustrating to end up throwing most of it away. I always try to give places the benefit of the doubt, but the quality just wasn’t there this time. Hoping this was just an off night, but I don’t think I’ll be ordering again anytime soon.
It was good. I ordered this seafood deluxe one thing I can tell you it NEEDS to be cooked at least 15 minutes longer my seafood deluxe, everything in it what's half raw, I had to come home and Re cook it other than that everything is good

This place is disgusting! I typically go to the Decatur Street location which is excellent, but as they were closed last Tuesday I went to this location. I requested “very light oil” in my food. It came literally floating in a sea of oil! It had a strong bitter taste! See the photos for the oil that leaked out of the food and into the paper bag. I had two bites and had to run to the bathroom with explosive diarrhea!!!! BEWARE!! GO TO THE DECATUR STREET LOCATION!!! THEY CAN COOK!
The best xiao long bao I’ve ever had in my life. This meal made the flight to New Orleans worth it. Zach was amazing! I’m only sad we will only be in town 4 days and even if we go every day it would not be enough.
Ming Garden
We order here pretty often, so it’s obviously not bad at all. My spouse is always happy with the broccoli chicken. I love the Thai curry shrimp, always delicious. Half the time the Szechuan tofu is great, perfectly crispy tofu in a lightly spicy thick sauce with good veggies. The other half of the time the tofu comes pretty soft/soggy. I also wish it were spicier, I’ve tried ordering it extra spicy but ultimately just add chili oil at home. My kids don’t recommend the boneless ribs, my spouse said they were ok but don’t reheat well. The spring rolls are exactly what you’d expect, I’d love a couple more veg appetizers but I know that’s asking a lot. Ultimately it’s a very respectable takeout choice.
The vegetables are colorful and fresh, as is everything else. Spring rolls appear to be homemade, the hot 'n' sour soup is rich in flavor and silky smooth. Our favorites are Kung Pao Chicken and Szechuan Chicken. The last time we ordered a pork dish (June 2024), they skimped on the protein, which was little slivers of dry pork. Regardless, Ming Garden remains our go-to American Chinese takeout restaurant near the Bywater.

Was in the area and craving some Cantonese food. Siu Long Bao was great. Authentic and soupy. Would improve further with some ginger and vinegar. The pot of tea was the Asian style strong tea. I really liked it. Attentive service. Highly recommended.
This place was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The soup dumplings phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and go!
Manchu Kitchen
I always go to Manchu because the chicken is always hot, fresh, and delicious. You get a lot of food for a great price, and they’re super fast! The portions are huge, and the staff is always friendly. Definitely my go-to spot for tasty, affordable chicken.
Being from Houston, TX when you order shrimp fried rice, that's what you get. I did not open the rice until I arrived back at my sister's house. MY MISTAKE! To my surprise, I did not know what the small orange stuff was on top of the rice! I thought it was carrots at first. As I looked further, it appears they put dehydrated shrimp on top of the rice. Who does this at their price? The fried chicken was good. It was hot, crispy, seasoned well and not salty. I spent a total of $158.00 for 150 chicken wings and a large shrimp fried rice! I started to bring the rice back!! Come on Manchu, yall can do better with the shrimp fried rice!!
Hunan Wok
The lady working the counter was very nice when I came in. The cooks said hi and smiled too. They were hustling in the kitchen. Busy. Definitely takeout. recommend the Singapore mei fun, crab Rangoon, lo mein, generals chicken Skip the eggplant in garlic sauce Ask for hot mustard
Best to-go Chinese food! Staff is friendly, prices are reasonable, and portions are generous. We pickup from there at least once or twice a month. Closed Monday (when I oddly have cravings for their food), so we usually go on Tuesdays 😋 Everything we’ve tried has been good!
Bao & Noodle
The food was very good, full of flavor but very salty. Ambiance was nice. I can't say much about the service as it is mostly self-service (grab your own napkin/water, glass, and order food at the counter). A smile or two might have helped, but amen.
Edited 11/30/19 to add that the new space is fantastic!!!! Congrats!!!! The closest thing to NYC Chinese in Nola. Nothing fancy in terms of decor, but the server was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The meal was delicious. We tried two appetizers that were the daily special.. Sweet and sour spareribs with the most amazing pickly cucumber cilantro concoction on top followed by shrimp and pork pan fried dumplings. Both were stellar. For dinner we split Dan Dan noodles and the lamb noodle dish. Both were fresh noodles cut and made to order. The Dan Dan noodles were dense and chewy, the noodles on the Dan Dan dish were more soft and doughy. Really delicious and plenty of good for $40. Updated to add: Still top notch. You will never be disappointed with ordering their daily bun, dumpling or bao either.
Reds Chinese
Absolutely delicious, a hole in the wall local spot. An American spin on Chinese food for sure. The beef and broccoli was made with the most tender brisket I've ever had! And the shrimp fried rice with Hawaiian bacon is simply divine. I haven't had one thing that wasn't spectacular and the cocktails are amazing. Please try the Thai milk daiquiri, the Chinese doughnuts and the Craw Rangoon!!
I think I found my new favorite restaurant! This unassuming restaurant serves up the most delicious food. The atmosphere and staff are full of character. Nathan was our server today, and was absolutely hilarious. He really made our experience shine. Order anything off the menu and I am sure you will be pleased. The food is plated beautifully, accented with color, and full of flavor. The hot and sour soup was probably the best soup I've ever had. DO NOT PASS THIS PLACE UP. Delicious, large portions for very reasonable prices, delightful staff, and inviting art. I will be back!
