Yellow River Restaurant 何處覓小食

Clean, comfortable, simple place located at the far north end of the very boring Dynasty Mall. I had the $8.00 combo for lunch, which is rice plus your choice of two veggies and two meats. Friendly fast service. The food is okay, but if you're coming to China Town for a culinary experience, this is not the place. Atmosphere is classic shopping mall. There are better options in much more interesting malls just a few hundred feet further down Bellaire Blvd.

This restaurant is one of the oldest established in Houston's Chinatown. Although many customers claim the flavor has changed throughout the years due to ownership changes, $8 for a four-item self-pick bento box is not bad. The Danzai noodles are also $8. The food and environment are fresh, and there are many choices if you come in early enough. The only problem is that the flavor is a little bland, in my opinion. I recommend this restaurant for people who want some Taiwanese style lunch.

Decided to pop in for a quick lunch and was really surprised by this place! The vibe inside is quite relaxed with several tables and booths, nothing too fancy or complex. The people here were very friendly, the food had variety and it was a very attractive price ~$8 for a bento box (2 meat & 2 veg). Personally, I was not much a fan of the tofu’s flavor but everything else in my box was enjoyable. Highly recommend anyone looking for a clean and affordable meal to stop by and enjoy Yellow River.

I'm Vietnamese and I love Taiwanese food. This place has delicious food with reasonable price. I love everything here, the food is tasty without too much salt. The service is great too. Even though the lady doesn't speak English, she's always smiling and helpful. A bento box comes with 2 meats, 2 veggies for $8 with generous portions. You can't beat that. You can also get a milk tea for $3. I highly recommend this place for lunch.

This is one of those unassuming hole in the wall restaurants that's really a hidden gem in the region. This place aims to recreate the look, feel, and taste of a Chinese high school cafeteria. $8 and you get rice + your choice of two meats and two veggie dishes. The food here is actually pretty darn good too. Genuinely one of my favorite restaurants in Chinatown.
