Sinh Sinh
Sinh Sinh is one of the staples for locals and travellers alike in the southwest Houston area, the go-to place for family dinners and late night diners. With such a large menu with a vast variety of dishes, from Chinese to Vietnamese, there'll be plenty of hits and misses. Most of the times the flavors are there, but sometimes it can be quite bland or even unsavory. Trust the locals, they'll know what's good. Service is great overall even though it's noticeably understaffed. Parking lot is safe with a security officer on site every night.
Great food! I ordered the general Tso’s chicken and the curry beef. Very great dishes by them self but I’ll admit these dish are not good together as the Tso is overpowering compared to the curry. The curry beef today was spicy but spice did not linger and bother much. At 3PM there wasn’t many of us there to dine I imagine during peak hours the noise in the room might make regular conversation difficult so this is more of a casual place to dine. In general the design of the room was nice. Would appreciate more artwork around but no biggie. This was one of the only restaurants that served enough rice for two people(see photo). I really like this detail. Also, when the water was refilled it was with cold water👍. Great job!
Central China
I’ve gone here multiple times and the food is delicious. I’ve had cumin lamb, cabbage and vermicelli (it’s really glass noodles), winter melon and egg soup (it’s actually fried egg and not egg drop), seafood tofu, salt and pepper ribs, and steamed fish (it was drowning in its sauce). The staff was friendly and great. I will definitely come back here.
Went with a friend. Food was fast and flavorful/spicy. Portions were pretty good but a bit oily. There were a lot of good dishes. Be prepared for lots of peppers. The meats were fresh. Some dishes were a little salty but would be perfect beer food. We wanted fried chicken wings with no sauce for the kids and they delivered; there was a good batter and they put in scallions and ginger (surprisingly good). They may want to put this on the menu.
Golden Dumpling House
I went there to order frozen dumplings (pork and shrimp, pork and leek) for takeout. Also, I dined in and ate wonton soup with noodles (was okay) and scallion pancakes (very oily). You order from the front and help yourself to the water, utensils, napkins, and sauces. Make sure to get some of their homemade chili oil. The takeout boxes are also there for you to take if you need it.
This spot offers authentic northern Chinese dumplings. The scallion pancake (葱油饼)and steamed beef dumplings (牛肉蒸饺)were a bit oily, but quite flavorful, the wonton soup was just average. $20 is unbeatable for 3 items with big portions.
Hunan Plus
Once again, the food disappeared before getting photos. Trust me, the food looked great and tasted better. The waitress, who was the owners sister, was friendly and fun. We were accidental travelers and lucked upon this place. What we found was that the place was better than any of the reviews currently out there. Making this a fun little side quest on the way to Galveston. If you are in the area, make this your own side quest. You will not be disappointed.
I love the food on this place but since they raise up their prices which most other restaurants did. Ordering a take out, they need to at least make sure that the food doesn’t burn the styrofoam box. They should at least put an aluminum foil underneath especially when you order pork ribs.
Yuan Ten
There's nothing to complain about the food here. The price is exceptionally good, especially they have lunch special throughout the whole week. We ordered a 3 people combination. BBQ combination, Special tofu, vegetable, and a steam fish. The fish is really fresh, their Chinese BBQ is pretty good compare to others. The tofu is also tasty. The vegetable dish is just simply stir-fried therefore didn't take a picture. With tax and tips it's just $50. However, I would order from their lunch special menu next time. Their lunch menu is $7.5 per dish I could of order 7 dishes for about the same price. Probably the lack of hands in this restaurant waitress seems to be less patient, and their cups and plates don't look so clean. Environment and atmosphere is definitely not the reason why you are here so no comments. Definitely will come back in the future for their food.
Yuan ten is amazing! It’s been here for years, has always had some of the best Chinese barbecue and Cantonese food in the city.
Stone Age Street food Chinese BBQ 石器时代大排檔
You know it’s good Chinese food when most customers are Chinese!!! We went on a weekday for dinner and there were plenty of seats but it soon started filling up. What we ordered: - grilled egg plant - I could eat two plates of these! - grilled bun - lamb skewers - grilled whole corn They were all cooked very well with plenty of seasoning, and as someone who grew up in Beijing and ate a lot of skewers, these are legit! The only complaint would be that there were some fascia in the lamb skewers, but it was still pretty good. Very attentive staffs as well. Their other dishes looked great as well. Will come back! Note, you might want to ask for it to be extra spicy if you’re used to having them
Stone Age is a fantastic restaurant. Every dish we had was delicious. The lamb was especially good and is a must try. Every dish was nicely seasoned and gave the classic numbing affect. We enjoyed the entire experience from food to service.
House of Bowls
Most food are pretty authentic Hong Kong style dishes. With exception of deep fried tofu which is lack of golden color due to short cooking time. Also the乾炒牛河, they did not put enough heat before dumping the noodle into the Hot wok so there is lack of 鍋氣味道. I personally like that deep fry chicken wing with green onion.
Salt pepper fried Chicken is GREAT! The portion of the dishes are really large and home flavor, no over salty. We love the food and the atmosphere is very old China stylish which feels homie
Flavor House
The vegan and nonvegan options are all really good and not greasy! Honestly really good for drinking or just late night sinner. Went there half an hour before closing, the service is nice, music is really on point. Def will go back soon!
Overall, the food was not great. The “signature” dish is uninspired, and has the feel and presentation of something that could be made in a dorm. In addition, the bathrooms were filthy, and the staff attitude left much til be desired. Handing the check while we were still dining, and taking bowls as soon as the spoon gets put down are such big No-no’s.
East Wall Restaurant
I love exploring various restaurants to savor their unique flavors, and this one ranks among my absolute favorites. I truly wish I could award it more than five stars! The authentic Chinese cuisine here is exceptional, coming remarkably close—about 99.99%—to the genuine experience you would find in China. The service is outstanding, with attentive staff who enhance the overall dining experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal. Plus, the cleanliness of the establishment is a significant bonus, adding to the overall appeal of this fantastic dining spot.
This is one of my favorite places for authentic, delicious Cantonese style cuisine!! The HK style sweet and sour pork is one of my go-to dishes. The servers are kind and efficient!
Mein
My trip down Bellaire this evening brought me to Mein and boy it was a great experience. I got there at about 6:00pm and it was already busy but we were seated immediately. The decor and theme I gotta say was picked out nicely. Lots of metal hardware and hardy wood placed throughout the room. Very cool lighting and paintings placed on the walls The restaurant is an open floor plan so it is very noisy. I would say the biggest drawback to the ambience is the chatter and busyness to it all. Not a great a sit down with candlelight and have a conversations kind of outing but nonetheless there were lots of couples there. The service was among some of the best as they were on their game tonight it seemed. Food was prepared and delivered quickly and with great presentation. I was a little disappointed with the rice portioning. Not sure if it was because the scoop was small but I eat a lot of rice and ordered 4 rice servers just for myself. See photo below for details. If you like rice served with your dishes, order lots of side rices. The plates we ordered were XO Fish Filet, Shaking Chicken, Charsui, and Lava Toast. the XO was better prepared than most other restaurants as the breaded fish was not overly cooked and breaded. The Charsui was my favorite of the night and was delicious. Recommend this dish. It is more of an appetizer portion size but the Shaking chicken was a great contrast between the two. Overall, wonderful flavor and great service! Would recommend!
Awesome food. We love the shaking tofu, and salt pepper squid. Great food is matched with great service. Drinks were refilled when needed and our server made sure our orders came out good.
Yantze
Surprisingly good. Now the restaurant isn’t much to look at inside, but the service is good. The menu is not the biggest but on the plus side the food arrives super quick and the quantity and quality was sensible along with the cost. In summary, if you need a quick reliable meal that’s well priced and better sized, this place will not let you down.
Very nice experience here. The employees are super friendly and easy to communicate with. I will say it is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but no real complaints. I had the General Tao's Chicken. The young lady warned me that it was spicy. I will say that it was not spicy at all. I think many places have just gotten used to spicy for Americans versus spicy for Chinese. The flavors were good despite this and the service was super fast. My wife is Chinese and she was very happy with everything. Would recommend Yantze to anyone but it is not for those seeking a more formal experience. The prices were very reasonable.
Mala Sichuan Bistro
5 stars for the best Sichuan food that I have had in the US. Crispy and spicy chicken, Mala pot roast fish, jiggling pork, water boiled fish are some of the best. I have been to some top rated Sichuan places in NYC and SF, and they could not hold a candle. Service is always good. They can use the money that they make to update the interior again. It looks like that is due. Otherwise, this is one of my favorite eatery in Houston.
This restaurant has high CP value. All their dishes are spicy and each dish has their individual flavor. I love their deep fry pig intestine. Some of the dishes are very spicy, so ask them when ordering. Their pricing for each of their dishes are very reasonable.
