One Dragon

534reviews

Blessed by God, to have this gracious meal. This establishment was recommended to me by my godfather. The soup dumplings had a fine thin skin with plenty of broth. I recommend, Scallion pancakes, stir fried green beans, the soup dumplings, and braised pork.

Overall, they had pretty decent Shanghai-style cuisine. The eight of us ordered a bunch of dishes for dinner, some of them like the Shanghai smoked fish were flavorful but some of them weren't to be recommended like the tender sweet & sour pork ribs (meat was not tender but dry). And the portion wasn't big enough.

Confucius Seafood Restaurant

Fried shrimp balls were very juicy and huge! It tasted a bit like fried chicken breading in a good way, crunchy exterior and the inside was full of flavorful shrimp meat. Fried lobster and stir-fried fish dish with garlic chives were good, too. I believe they had some kind of a deal/discount when you get a lobster dish and order 2 main courses, but might want to ask the server directly. Will come back!

We ordered lobster fried in black pepper. It was okay. Will get a different sauce next time. $28 for small lobsters. People say it’s cheap but not much meat even when they have two lobsters. The duck as bland and cost almost $50. Fried Rice and Calamari were good. The best dish was the morning glory vegetable which was very flavorful. Portions were big.

Hunan Bistro

I enjoy dining at this place, and their food has just the right amount of spices. However, I found most of the dishes to be overly salty, with the eggplant dish with eggs being the only exception. It almost seems like they intend for you to eat a lot of rice with their dishes to balance out the saltiness. Despite this, the food overall tasted good, and it would be even better if they could tone down the salt. The service is fine; it's not top-notch but understandable given the busy times. The staff is generally attentive, though there can be slight delays during peak hours. I also tried their takeout once, and I didn't like it. The food didn't taste fresh and had a strong pork smell. For the best experience, I recommend dining in, as the food and ambiance are much better when enjoyed on-site.

One of my favorite authentic Chinese restaurants in Houston. Dishes are very fresh and flavorful and service is fast. There are many local regulars and the place is popping even on weekdays.

The service and ambiance were what you’d expect from a traditional Chinese restaurant, but the food truly stood out. The duck was incredibly tender and flavorful, perfectly seasoned without being overly salty. The marinated delights combination was exceptional—each item was packed with rich, authentic flavors. If you’re a fan of Teochew cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

This is a solid Canto spot with good food and decent flavors. As far as the food everything was decent, nothing stood out in terms taste/flavor but everything we ordered was good. Probably my favorite items were the fried sweet potato pancakes (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside), and the crab. Like any traditional Chinese restaurant, you have to break the crab shells yourself so be careful about ordering the crab if you don’t like to eat messy (it will get messy!). Service is relatively fast compared to most Chinese places, and we had a slight language barrier but were able to communicate with our Mandarin. I think I’d return here if I was in the area and craving, overall decent experience!

The best Cantonese restaurant in H town that I have ever been to. The food is amazing and delicious. The waiter and waitress are very friendly. The lunch menu is unbeatable price(10Am to 3 PM everyday). It is highly recommended.

Excellent cantonese food! Taste just like we make at homemade. Thinking about it makes me hungry... The soup is to improve, taste mostly like water, but the rest is amazing. The price is also very reasonable. Coming back and Recommended!

Dim Sum King

591reviews

Best dim sum I've had! My husband grew up eating in Little Saigon in CA and this place hit the spot!! We got our food one dish at a time but it gave us time to savor each dish. The Singapore noodles are amazing!! 😍

This is my favorite dim sum place. I've dined-in and picked up foods here several times and never had a problem at all. The food is very tasty! Even when it's super hot or humid I still like to go there and eat dim sum with a pot of hot tea.

X Kitchen 川香阁

Nut allergy friendly: They have options on the ordering app to highlight a nut allergy. Some dishes do have nuts, so I'd highlight this with the staff. Time to Food: 12 minutes (crispy chicken) to 35 minutes (squid and green beans) We arrived with a party of five around 1PM and there was plenty of seating. Order through an app pretty easily. For five people, we ordered and had a decent amount of leftovers: Sichuan Spicy Crispy Chicken (4.5/5): Extremely crispy yet not too battered. They nailed the texture and meat to breading ratio. A hint of ginger threw me off for a bit, but it was delicious. Lamb Dry Pot (5/5): Awesome blend of meat and vegetables. We loved the lotus root and cauliflower here. I'd come back and order this any day. Twice Cooked Pork Belly (5/5): A classic Sichuan dish executed very well with perfectly tender pork and leeks. Sizzling Squid (4.5/5): We were expecting something different and this was a bit too saucy for me, but the texture was fantastic and the squid was cooked well! Dry-Fried Green Beans (4/5): Flavors were there but the green beans were a tad too soggy, like they got steamed a bit. X's Kitchen / Tasty Sichuan is comparable to Mala in many ways, such as having leeks in the twice cooked pork, but they do dishes in a different style. I look forward to returning!

Very authentic sichuan hot & spicy food - tastes almost identical as China! Can tell it is not preserved as some other restaurants but cooked fresh - some cooking process is very time consuming and doesn’t add a whole lot premium to the menu but nonetheless the chef sticks to the traditional way of cooking and it is much rewarded in the taste!!!

Food is great , large portions and food comes out hot, Which is a huge thing being Asian. Have come here for multiple events , with family etc and has never disappointed. Large food selection and everyone is very friendly and accommodating

Ok, this is my favorite place in the city for Chinese food!! Every time we've been here (about a dozen in total), the service has been wonderful. Today's service was exceptionally expedient, and the food was fantastic, as it always is. We ate from 4 dishes, family style, so that everyone had a little bit of each dish. There are many selections on the menu, but I really enjoyed the different flavors of the menu items we selected today, in particular. So, if I may make a suggestion based on our most wonderful experience today, here's what we had. Whether you're new to this restaurant or have been here before, I think this combination of dishes provides an experience, rich in flavor, varied in textures, and tied well together to satisfy one's palette. Our selections: Flat Rice Noodle with Beef and Brown Sauce . Warm, savory, earthy. Soft textures, just melts in your mouth. This is the reason we come here. We order it every time. At this point, I feel it's safe for me to call this "comfort food." I'm sure it's the equivalent to a large warm towel fresh from the dryer after a shower. Seiously, if you were to throw this dish into the air, it would turn into sunshine. #iykyk Eggplant with Basil sauce. This was the surprise hit for me! I'm normally not a fan of eggplant dishes, but this may have been my favorite thing I had today. Rich, aromatics of the Basil in a darker brown sauce, that had just a hint of a kick to it. Thinly sliced onions were the perfect compliment to the sauce, along with the Eggplant. I found myself going back to it for the sauce alone. It was delicious mixed in with the steamed rice. I hate to keep going on about it, but I can't stress enough how much I just don't care for eggplant and never really have, but this dish was truly STELLAR! Tangerine Beef. (pictured) This one is SOOOO GOOD! Citrus, combined with aromatics from the ginger slices in a brown sauce tie in nicely with the Basil from the Eggplant dish, but is a little sweeter, (which in turn translates well to the 4th dish we ordered). The textures on the beef are fantastically contrasted between the soft, tender, generous slices of beef and the firm, crispiness of the breading around it. Not sure if it's doubled fried, or how they achieve it, but it reminds me of a chicken fried steak type vibe, but the sauce!!!! This was our "big hit surprise" from a few visits back. We only recently discovered it, but it never disappoints. Always a table favorite! And finally, the Walnut Shrimp. (pictured) This one has become a staple for us over many visits. This is the one dish with the furthest deviation of flavor profile from the other dishes, but hits on a different level vs. some other places where we've had the same dish. The shrimp are HUGE! Perfect, thin, crispy texture on the tempura coating. The sauce is light, creamy, and a little more on the sweeter side. Large chunks of glazed walnuts provide a soft sort of crunch. The sauce is nicely proportioned to the (did I mention they ARE HUGE?) shrimp, so as not to overpower it. All of it served atop very thinly shredded lettuce and cabbage, which combines nicely with the sauce and shrimp to give a light and sweet taste of slaw, without feeling like you're eating soggy coleslaw. Cabbage and carrots are still firm, sauce is sweet and creamy. It's simply done, no real big surprises, but the difference is, they do all of these things at an elite level. Everything is executed at the highest level with the freshest ingredients. It's just simply well done. I suggest these 4 dishes and even in the above order...just a small plate of each one, from the flat Noodle to the shrimp. Call it "around the table" and enjoy! I made more than a couple "round trips" myself!

I ordered lunch specials here. Ordered 3 dishes. $6.50 each. The lady that answered the phone hung up on me before giving me the total and time frame. I had to call her back to confirm. 30 mins wait for pickup. When I arrived she looked confused and busy calculating the ticket price for another customer. I wait maybe ten more mins there before she pack my orders to pickup. Food overall was good. Portion was good, big box of rice. The outer part of salt pepper tofu was a little hard. Not crispy. So most likely won't order that. the other one bitter melon with eggs and eggplants are good. For the price I'll go back and try their other dishes.

I feel good for my meals here despite dinner or lunch. Every time I come here, I was treated with delicious food and welcoming service. Food always fresh and gorgeous, taste very full. They know how to cook, in the picture, they provide vegetable in the dish that make the taste improved better when serving the beef stew. Price are competitive with other, which means it is better than other places, comparing for the portion and taste. Always come back.

China Gourmet 福州风味小吃

I really want to say I liked this place because of the reviews but this was unfortunately not for my tastebud. The mix noodle tasted mushy and the other noodle dishes were bland and one of the dumplings had a sour taste. The service was pretty bad. We asked for water and the server gave a group of 11 just ONE cup of water. Seems to be many workers but just 1 server. We ended up getting our own water, it was in a cooler (similar to the big Gatorade jugs) This restaurant was a little hard to find since the door was hidden behind the pole. It looked clean but don’t let that fool you. The tables were really sticky, luckily I had wet wipes handy to wipe it down a little. While I was getting my food and spinning the lazy Suzy a spider came crawling out from underneath!

This place serves authentic food of Fuzhou, China. Most food are small tasty dishes. However you can also order few larger dishes off the menu. The cost is very reasonable.

Chongqing Chicken Pot

303reviews

The frog pot is the standout dish—tender, perfectly cooked frog meat with a rich, well-seasoned broth that’s both savory and slightly spicy. What’s even better is the hotpot experience that follows. After finishing the main dish, the remaining broth serves as the perfect base for cooking vegetables, meats, and noodles. It’s a fantastic way to extend the meal and savor every last drop of the delicious soup.

The flavors are incredible! We asked for no spice, and it is impressive how much flavor they added without the aid of spice. The crispy pork was not oily, and we left satisfied and warm, with a lot of leftovers. Servers were sweet. Prices were more than fair.

The food here can make me cry. We ordered four dishes. Every dish is impeccable. Why are northeastern people so good at cooking pork! The sour cabbage has such mild but strong flavor. The kidney and liver were cooked barely well done, very tender. Sweet potatoes can have the sugar pulling one-meter long. I cant wait to come back again.

We recently visited Xiao Shen Yang for our weekly team dinner, and it was a fantastic experience! Here's what we tried: Spicy Shredded Bean A simple yet delicious dish, with beans sliced evenly and cooked perfectly. Very appetizing! Crispy Yellow Croaker The fried fish was crispy and tasty, an excellent choice for seafood lovers. Pork and Sauerkraut Stew A unique dish with a flavorful sauerkraut broth, tender pork, and pork blood. Highly recommended for those who enjoy bold flavors. Cucumber and Noodles with Sesame Sauce A refreshing and delightful cold dish, combining crunchy cucumber with rich sesame sauce. Smoked Pork Pancake Layers of crispy pancake paired with savory smoked pork, a must-try! Sweetened Potato Best enjoyed hot, this dessert features crispy caramelized sweet potatoes with a soft interior. A perfect way to end the meal! The service was quick, and the staff was very friendly. Overall, a great place for a delicious and enjoyable meal!
