Stopped in for lunch and ordered the Mongolian beef special but asked if it could be fixed without it being spicy. This is routinely done elsewhere and so I was content when my waitress assured me "no spice" was an option. Unfortunately, her assurances didn't match the food. The beef sauce had a good bit of heat and it was redolent with peppers. The waitress apologized profusely when she saw my red face glittering with perspiration and quickly offered to make it right. The next dish was just that. Unfortunately, though resolved I withheld stars due to the shouting that occurred not once, not twice but three times between her and the cook. Loud enough to be heard through the doors. He was quite irritated and I felt for her. While most of it was not in my native tongue, there was enough English used to ascertain the issue was my request. I was more than a little hesitant to finish my meal.

Every time we visit Huai and try something different I find my new favorite. So far every meal has been perfect.

They deliver that was awesome. Food better at dine in. General Tso chicken was dry and seemed old. Ordered kids sweet and sour chicken, didn't get fried rice.Besides that everything else was good.

I just had to write a review after ordering here from doordash. These are not the prettiest pictures, but the main thing here is the portion sizes!!! I was very impressed with the amount of food I got especially for paying double on DD!!! I Will definitely order here again if I'm ever feeling like chinese. The food is satisfying and fulfilling enough for me. I never expect 5 star status with chinese take out, but it sure did hit the spot.

The food was exceptional and service incredible ? ? They have a cute little robot that helps out the wait staff too. I highly recommend this place. We will be back!! Thank you ?

This is my very first time ordering from this place and I have to say that I am very disappointed in the amount they give you for the price that you pay. It seems like you have to order 2 meals to be feel full. I highly recommend to others to give “T Jin China Diner” a try. Their food is excellent and the amount of food they give you is excellent!

Awesome food, definitely worth a visit. Lettuce wraps are the best I have ever had, makes PFChangs look like Panda Express!!! House fried rice is amazing, I can’t believe I am raving over fried rice, but it was to die for. This is now my favorite place for Chinese food in Houston.

Very authentic and delicious Chinese food. You can tell even the rice is freshly cooked. Make sure to try the eggplant off the traditional Chinese menu. The service is gorgeous and restaurant is very clean and well managed.

Food was very tasty and service was great. Very hospitable. Loved the garlic chicken and mango chicken meal, and the hot and soup soup was amazing!!
Pretty awful experience in addition to ignoring my order request, being dishonest about what's even on their menu, and really just having awful food. "Huai" is accurate; it means "bad" in Chinese. The food had no spice in it at all despite them all being spicy dishes (mapo tofu, shiju niu, fu qi fei pian), and me asking for it to be made extra spicy, none of it was even edible. Also the mapo tofu tasted like sweet and sour soup, god knows why. Sounds like they discontinued their "spicy sauce" and sichuan menu entirely, and didn't want to be honest to their few customers who actually want it. So the first time I tried to order takeout, they told me they ran out of the "spicy sauce" they need to make spicy dishes, and said they would call me so they could do the order on another day, and deliver it. They never called, which honestly isn't a big deal, still fine, and I appreciate them not just selling me some crap that's missing ingredients... Which they later did, hence this review. More recently I actually ordered from them, and when I arrived at the pickup time, they said they hadn't even started cooking it. No call or anything, I only found out when I got there. They asked me to wait 30 minutes for them to cook it; obviously I couldn't do that, so I asked them to have it ready another hour and a half later. When I went to pick it up at that time, they were still 15 minutes late.

Do not patronize this restaurant until their delivery driver stops blocking both handicap spots.

Awful. The first time I ordered, they told me they were out of spicy sauce and couldn't make the order, which is ok, at least they told me. Well, when ai tried a second time a week later, I ordered sichuan to be extra spicy, came without any spice at all. Guess they just never have any spicy sauce.Not to mention they didn't have it ready at the time they were supposed to, and were still 30 minutes late when I asked them to have it ready 2 hours later.

I got the house fried rice and it was bad. In addition to tasting bad and bland, the food was over salted, had no vegetables or garnishing, and the quality did not match the high price. It also had a weird taste that left me nauseous. Would not ever come here again nor recommend it to anyone.
