Why do you put peas and carrots in Chinese food? Cabbage and green onions are cheaper! What is with this city and peas and carrots in fried rice? Are you kidding me?! Why is it peas and carrots also in the egg foo young? Why is the gravy sweet? Are you sure this is Asian food? Was this your mission, to not have tasty food? Go to another country, including the united states, and see what sells for multiple decades. Then you will survive! Or at least teach your offspring to learn not to perish!

This place is god awful. Wonton soup is literally yellow water with no flavor at all. Orange beef tastes really bad. The 5 star reviews on here must be from friends and family trying to promote the business because this was all gross.

What the hell is a "convenience fee"? I just got done inputting my carry-out order and saw that a $2 "convenience fee" had been added. Look, if you're not charging enough for your food, raise your prices. Don't sneak in bogus charges. I can afford the 2 bucks, but I just don't appreciate the tactic.

We did not like our food. Looking at the chicken I was surprised to see “No MSG” mentioned on the menu - didn’t really matter to us anyway… but this meal looks like it was straight out of a frozen meal bag, and tasted as such.

Best Chinese food in Katy! Highly recommend, great service and excellent food!

Not a good experience. Food has flavor and is ok, not great. HOWEVER having a child answer the phone for a business transaction is annoying and ineffective. I placed my order for lunch and requested a spring roll because I don't eat pork but received a pork egg roll. Couldn't eat. Then I ordered shrimp in garlic sauce with NO mushrooms and pretty much received shrimp, mushrooms, and a ovelry sweet brown sauce. Fried rice was stale and old. Shrimp rolls were the only thing that was fresh and edible. The total for lunch and appetizer was $18.55 NOT WORTH it AT ALL. In addition it's all to go, so you have to eat your food in the car if you want it hot or tepid and sweaty by the time you make it home or back to work. The menu they have on THEIR website with prices is INACCURATE , add anywhere from $2 to $4 to every dish. Portion size has decreased and price increased. Will not return

I usually don't go to any Chinese restaurant here in Houston because they're no way to compare with what I have had in Shanghai. This is the only Chinese restaurant I go (well, sometimes I get Panda Express for easy and big portion). I place to go order once every week, always ask for boiled fish fillets and house fried rice. They're sooo good and more than enough to feed a family with two little kids.

I've tried most, if not all, the chinese restaurant take-out for the lunch menu since Covid started. And I have to say, this is probably the best tasting, sized, and actually aromatic lunch menu I've had so far. The prices are great for what's being offered as well. It doesn'thave the plastic-like after taste a lot of other ones have. I ordered via phone and was greeted by a cheery and friendly tone over the phone and repeated my order to make sure I had ordered correctly. Overall, would definitely be visiting again in the near future for my lunch-chinese-cravings!

Excellent food. We appreciate that they make the extra spicy leave a burn.

My fav go-to dishes are the chicken egg-foo-young with bean sprouts and the sautéed green beans. Seriously, I try to make it there once every couple weeks.

The price of the food and customer service are great. However my food has an odd taste, it tastes like the aroma of the restaurant if that makes sense. Almost like the food was cooked and was out for awhile. The person that answered the phone was nice and honored the lunch special despite me calling 4mins after the cut off time. They offer contactless delivery which is great since covid is still a concern. I would give them another chance and come in when they open vs waiting until 3pm to see if the food still has that weird taste.

The great food, and kind to customers. The food is so natural flavors and seasonings. I live this restaurant near my home.

This is the worst place, I ordered pad thai was not at all good. Also ordered red curry, does not taste like red curry at all. Plus they never gave rice with it. The least they can ask is which rice you want rather then saying you should have ordered. All other thai or Chinese restaurants ask for rice or give rice with any curry you order. I would never go here again. If they don't know how to cook Thai food don't put on the menu.

Jar Yin served Katy during the February 2021 blackouts. Friendly staff and delicious food!

If I could give this restaurant 100 stars I would! I live in the cinco ranch area and it is so hard finding well seasoned and authenticity made Chinese food and let me tell you that this is the spot! The owner is the nicest and most sweetest woman ever. Highly recommend!
