“FOOD IS SO GOOD! There seriously needs to be more people here. We ordered the Dry Pot Fish Fillet, Dry Pot Beef, and the Red Oil Dumplings, and they were all absolutely delicious. I have no doubts that the rest of the food is great as well. It was all so flavorful.Come here to eat!“

“This restaurant impressed me greatly. The interior is filled with traditional Chinese vibes. I really enjoyed their seafood soup and spicy diced chicken, which were delicious and juicy. The owner, William, cares deeply about customer experience, humbly asking for feedback. From the moment you enter until you leave full, you can feel the warmth and high-quality service. I will definitely visit again.“

“The spicy peppercorn chicken is very good! Next time I want to try the wings. Both times I’ve been here I was served by Bing, she is consistently kind and attentive :) I appreciated how she answered my questions and made sure my water was always full, and even let me try a bit of sake. Great service!!“

“We love the original location, so it only made sense that we had to try this new Heights location with an updated menu. We came with some friends which gave us the opportunity to try new dishes and our tried and true favorites. Chili Oil Dumplings (aka Hot & Spicy Dumplings): 5/5 - delicious as always!! For those that are spice adverse, you'll enjoy these tasty dumplings as they are not too spicy. Biang Biang Noodles: 5/5 - slightly bigger portion size (which is adequately reflected in the price) Sichuan Style Biang Noodle: 4/5 - Family style platter, delicious, beware accidentally eating a pepper! Sichuan Lamb Flat Noodle: 3/5 - Family style platter. Good dish, but the group tended to prefer the other Sichuan noodle dish. Garlic Pork: 4.5/4 - Family style dish. Full of flavor, absolutely delicious....I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture to show you this beautiful dish. Honey Ginger Tea: 5/5 - This was sooo much better than what we've had the last few times at the original restaurant, which was watered down and not flavorful. This location returned this delicious tea to it's former glory and I can't wait to go back and drink it again! There was not a single dish we did not like. Nothing was overly spicy, in fact, I'd argue it was a very nice level of spice in each dish. As this location is still new, it was not crowded at all and the inside is quite nice. It feels a little more upscale and modern compared to it's original location, but not pretentious and still comfortable to be in. The servers work at both locations - if you don't know what to get, they have not steered us wrong yet! Friendly and attentive, great service. If you haven't tried out Hi Trendy Dumpling before, this is your sign to go eat here. You won't regret it!!“

“Delicious Sichuan spicy foods. Only bad thing was we went in on Saturday for lunch and they only had sze chuan dumplings. I wanted pan fried and soup dumplings and they didn't have any. The only appetizer they had were the sze chuan dumplings. Singapore noodles were tasty. Mapo tofu was great. Garlic eggplant was delicious. Spicy crispy chicken was good but I still like Mala Sichuan better. I highly recommend this place.“

“This was my first order from Mala Sichuan and I was quite pleased with it.One thing I noticed was that there were NO Sichuan peppercorns in the Gong Bao Chicken.I’ve made Fuchsia Dunlop’s outstanding version many times and I missed that feeling of “ma”.Vegetarian options: Sichuan has a long tradition of vegetarian cooking.“

“I enjoy coming to eat at MIAN. It's a comfy little spot and there's a variety of noodle dishes that I like to try. You can order by QR code by bringing up the menu. I recommend the beef noodles! I've been coming here for years and I plan to keep doing so.“

“Came in for takeout and was taken care of by Janice. She was super sweet. She said they were short staffed and it may take a bit long, but I’ve ordered from here several times and I have never been disappointed. Janice offered me, my husband, and two other customers a free soda on the house while we waited for our orders. The food there is definitely worth the wait! The Szechuan chicken is always on point, and I have yet to try something on their menu I have not liked! The food is always fresh, hot, and spicy just like we like it! I’m so glad they are so close to our house. We will be coming back again for sure. Janice was very kind and helpful, she went above and beyond to take care of us. This place is definitely a gem.“

“Had a hankering for fried rice. The rice was decent, kinda bland but still edible/good. Never had scallion pancakes before and that was pretty good as well. The only thing I noticed is my total. I paid $20.37 for a pickup order. But on the receipt upon receiving my order was $18.47. So that sends off red flags in my head. Probably won’t return because of that.“

“The spicy cube chicken is tasty! If you can’t handle spice this is definitely not the dish for you!! Good portion served with white rice. Would have loved to been able to pay a bit extra to swap the steamed white rice for fried rice. Took mine to go.“

“I’ve been to Taste of Mulan a few times and each time the food and the service exceeds my expectations. The people here are very friendly and their dim sum is better than the dim sum I’ve tried in China town. They have many options of dumplings which are available all day. I highly recommend this place!“
“We love this place! It's family owned and the prices are very fair with the food being very good portion sized! The indoor seating is ample, but not ideal for large parties. We had a party of 8 last time and there's no round tables like most bigger Chinese restaurants so with the food places linearly on the table, it's hard to get the food from one end when you're sitting on the opposite end. The staff isn't overly friendly but that's ok. I'm used to that at Asian establishments in Bellaire but it isn't the worst I've experienced. They have a 10% off for take out orders on Yelp but the last time I tried it, the staff never heard of it and wouldn't apply it even when I showed them the discount on the Yelp app.“

“(don’t mind me digging in before i took a picture) the actual plates are so cute; they spent money on cartoony cat bowls and the actual food was amazing. i don’t eat much normally but i finished all of my food in one sitting that’s how good it was!! i got the curry chicken ramen it was so filling and had lots of flavor and extras in bowl; it wasn’t plain at all. this place is completely underrated; i went in on a saturday afternoon and i was the only person there!! more people should be eating here. the service was obviously amazing there was only one person working but he made sure i was attended to“

“I feel lucky to live so close to Mama's Kitchen, definitely a comfort food spot for me. I love the spicy chicken cube dish, and all the stir fry vegetable dishes. Food comes out super quick too! Large portions which is normal for Sichuan cuisine, so it's nice to dine with a large group. But I don't mind the leftovers either when it's just 2 or 3 of us. I've also had the boiled fish, cumin lamb, dan dan noodles - they were all very good. Need to try new items next time, but it's hard when I already have favorites If you like spicy food, definitely recommend. If spicy is not your thing, try their fried rice with shrimp. Another delicious dish!“

“Really amazing food. We went there for some dumpling soup but ended up ordering a lot more and were able to finish all of it with ease. The food was fresh, well made and authentic with lots of vegetarian options.Kid friendly, high chairs available.“

“Good food, great atmosphere and service. We ordered seafood dishes, twin pepper chicken and homing tofu. All dishes tasted great and really liked the pepper spice in the Dan Dan noodles. The only comment is the dishes are quite greasy. And there are barely any health friendly dishes. Overall a good place for a fun lunch or dinner with friends for tasty (but oily) sichuan food.“

“the culinary journey is nothing short of extraordinary. The rich, bold flavors of their spicy hot pot creations leave a lasting impression, and the attention to detail in both presentation and service sets this establishment apart. Each visit is a delightful exploration of Sichuan cuisine, making it a top-notch destination deserving of its five-star status.“

“First time here today, very authentic flavor. Had 20 Lamb Skews, and 10 Beef Skews. They were so good that we only remembered to take a picture after the meat are all gone!!! Very cool vibe. The service was fast, and the skews are tender and full of flavor. Will definitely come back again.Had to park a litter further and walk over, but it was all worth it.“

“As one of the most famous hot pot chains out of China, I feel strongly that MaLuBianBian's presence alone legitimizes Chinatown as a true enclave of the city. Meaning "side of the road" (马路边边), this Sichuanese (#1) inspired spot brings a slightly unconventional approach to the thriving all you can eat hot pot scene. The eclectic decor is meant to mimic the Chengdu food scene with the glow-up Chinese character signage, colorful furniture, and artistic murals. Even the music has been on point (#2), as well as the ventilation for the mugginess. Visually, the place is quite unique relative to its competition and definitely has the look and feel down, 100%. To get food, it's mainly self-serve. Instead of a buffet spread , it's freezers and a sauce bar. The veggies and meats are all laid out for everyone, so there's not real choosing wisely. Truth be told, the broth selection matters more than the foods that they have laying out. The price now is $29 for the whole experience and I'd recommend ordering the crispy fried pork and brown sugar rice cake from their snacks / appetizers. The service could be better and by better, I mean faster and more polite. They're all Mandarin speaking and a little slow on getting everything including waters and napkins. It's not much to ask for when everyone is serving / cooking everything for themselves. There's plenty of parking in their shared lot. They accept credit card but definitely prefer cash. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique hot pot experience in the heart of Chinatown. __________ (#1) If I'm not writing Peking for Beijing, I'm definitely not writing Szechuan. (#2) And sometimes dominated by Jay Chou.“

“This was my first time , but not my last time. The food was so delicious, that I ate it without taking a picture first. The person that our order was polite, and the food was packed well to go. It's a small cute plate to eat. Definitely gotta give it a try.“

“My friends and I ordered takeout from here on Chinese New Year. They are very bad about answering their phone, so we had to order in person. They managed to mess up our order (doubling a dish and forgetting a dish) but when I came the next day (couldn't call to inform them), they were quick to offer the replacement dish!As for the dishes, we got:-pineapple/steak fried rice (4/5)- popular dish among the party, unique but also could easily be homemade-sweet and sour eggplant (5/5)- so flavorful and well done, I'd definitely reorder-ginger fish (4/5)- could use a bit more flavor but I loved the texture and portion was great-sautéed lamb with cumin (4/5)- popular dish among the party, personally too spicy for me and my friend found it too salty-honey tofu sautéed ivy pork ribs (3/5)- I was excited for this dish but it was lacking in flavor and was incredibly one dimensional-dry fried green beans (5/5)- perfect complement to heavy protein dishes, nice crisp texture“

“It can be hard to get four people (including a picky eater) to agree on what to eat, but Tiger Noodle House always gets a “yes!” from my whole family. The food is authentic and flavorful with generous portions...the customer service for dine-in and pickup is always on point...and the staff, including the owner (Mr. Tiger) is very welcoming and friendly. We love this place, and visit as often as we can. #supportsmallbusiness“

“I ordered their food twice. One time is on doordash and it was really bad, I can do the exactly same dish at home and will taste 100 times better than theirs. But I also doubted myself coz when I checked their rating is actually not too bad. So I went to their store the other time and it was ok. Their rice noodles are ok, I think the problem is the soup, aftertaste is a little bit bitter. But their soup dumplings are not too bad. The skin is bit too thick. They offer soymilk for free which is really impressive. And their soymilk is very serious. You know many restaurants' free drinks are jokes but their soy milk is Real soy milk, doesnt taste like water and you can smell the soy flavor“

“We stumbled upon this place while in the area. The reviews weren’t kidding - Everything, and I mean every thing, is served in styrofoam with disposable utensils. It does seem rather wasteful. Aside from that the food was good and worth the visit. Highly recommend the kung pao chicken and crab puffs. Would probably just do a to-go order next time though.“

“Xiaolong Dumpling is truly a delight! The mapo tofu tastes like childhood. So fresh, so delicious, yet so quick! It tastes like home. They're also the only Chinese food place I've found since going gluten free that's GF friendly - they use tamari soy sauce! GF Chinese food! ...Heaven!!“
