713 Restaurant Review

713 Restaurant is one of the city's sleekest, trendiest venues. Contemporary decor and large bar invite guests to settle in for both dining and extended social banter. Menu items range from economical five-course bento boxes to sushi to innovative entrees such as duck roulade with butternut mashed potatoes and pan fried veal chop schnitzel. Specialty thingytails also emphasize an Asian flair, including the 713 Martini with pickled ginger and green bean garnish, as well as the Saketine, with hot sake as the primary ingredient.

Yao Restaurant Houston Review

The first review was pretty accurate when I first visited Yao Restaurant soon after it opened. I saw their review on Houston Chinese Restaurant Guide. I've since been back 4 or 5 times and I must say that they have worked all kinks out of the system, from the kitchen to the service. The food is quite good (Peking duck highly recommended), and the ambiance excellent. If you’re looking to make you taste buds smile and enjoy a great atmosphere, this is your place, but if you're looking for a bargain mean, try a Hungry Man in the frozen food department of your local grocery.

Houston Restaurant Review: Tapioca House

Tapioca House
Nice laid-back atmosphere, great for chillin' with friends. Great tea. My favorite snack is their spicy dry bean curd. You can get it in mild, medium, or very spicy. The chewy texture is just right. The fried chicken snack is a friend's favorite - the basil gives it a great flavor.

Three Dragons Chinese Restaurant Review

Three Dragons in Houston, Texas Review

I've recently moved to Houston and was looking for a good chinese place to eat at. So far i had met with moderate to poor results. I tried this place because i'm from New Orleans and find the best food in the small "hole in the wall" resturants. This place was much more than i expected. Not the greatest location or exterior for such a great resturant. The inside is kept very well and is nice decorated. The food on the otherhand was above and beyond the best chinese food I've had in Houston yet. I was so impressed with this resturant that it was the reason i created an account here so I could share my experience with you guys!

Chinese Restaurant in Houston Review

Q. What are some Chinese Restaurants in Houston you can suggest to a tourist?

A. Beijing Noodle Cafe
9888 Bellaire Blvd.
Houston, TX 77036
This newly opened restaurant in the heart of Chinatown has brought along with it mouth-watering Chinese dishes. I tried their veal dumplings and it has to be the best I have tasted. The freshly rolled flour surround the meat was perfect, not too thin and not to thick. The succulent taste of the veal meat was incredible. Together with the soy sauce, the (15) dumplings made it down in less than 10 minutes. Their beef noodle soup is perfect as well. Most places will put in tons of soy sauce in the soup creating too much saltiness and ruins taste. However, Beijing Noodle Cafe adds in the right amount and creates one of the best beef noodle soup in town. The restaurant carries over 50 dishes including family meals for 4, 6, or 8 people. Price is inexpensive as most dishes are under $5 for lunch and under $10 for dinner. Exceptional value and incredible food, Beijing Noodle Cafe is our newest addition to our Best of Chintatown Editor's Pick.

Lemongrass Cafe
5109 Bellaire Blvd
Bellaire, TX 77401
Lemongrass Cafe is a Thai fusion restaurant located in Bellaire. This is a restaurant I love to bring my good friends to when we need to catch up, because the environment is so conducive to chatting the night away. Some of my favorite dishes: Panko-crusted tofu (appetizer) - delectably crispy on the outside and oh-so-smooth on the inside. The special sauce complements everything perfectly. The presentation is beautiful. Pad Thai - their version of this Thai classic puts a little twist on it. You'll have to order it to see for yourself. The free bread with dipping sauce is great as well. And all of the desserts I've tried are wonderful. Vegetarian friendly - there are plenty of veggie choices here as well.
Nippon Japanese Restaurant
4464 Montrose Blvd Ste W
Houston, TX 77006
Tele: 713-523-3939
Nippon is located on Montrose just a little bit passed under the 59 bridge if coming from Hermann Park. Nippon offers quality Japanese food at a fair price and the regular lunch menu is about 7 dollars. Most of the lunch dishes comes with miso soup and Japanese style salad. Their katsu-don (fried pork rice) is one of the best lunch deals. Katsu-don comes in a traditional Japanese lunch box, which contains one large piece of fried pork chop and rice. On top of the pork chop, the delicious sweeten soy bean sauce is poured on top of the rice and the port chop. This meal also comes with a bowl of miso soup and Japanese salad. The salad is a great appetizer, with the Japanese style dressing (which taste a bit like the regular ranch dressing but a bit more sweet). Japanese food at its best earning Nippon Japanese Restaurant a spot on our list.

Golden Room Restaurant
1209 Montrose Boulevard
Houston, TX 77023
Tele: 713-524-9614
The service is friendly and the atmosphere is very charming. The owner is a delightful lady who is attentive to her customer's needs. My favor fishes are Garlic Chicken and Spicy Mint Chicken. The basil and chicken in the dishes make the taste simply irresistible and just want to keep coming back for more. I have not had a bad meal at Golden Room for the three years, and I strongly recommend this place for all you Thai food lovers.

Kubo's Sushi Bar & Grill
2414 University Blvd.
Houston, TX 77005
Tele: 713-528-7878
From after work happy hour to a romantic date, Kubo's great service and use of quality ingredients earned our editors pick. This Japanese restaurant is featured in numerous local publications. Excellent sushi's and Japanese dishes draws big weekend crowds to this full-service restaurant. Located in Rice village, Kubo is a perfect place to go before or after a day of shopping in Rice Village.

Thai Cottage
5124 Cedar Street Houston
Bellaire, TX
Tel: 713-838-0707
Thai Cottage is a very attractive restaurant. The atmosphere there is very cozy and relaxing. When you eat here, it almost feels like having a family dinner at home. Thai cottage has a lot of healthy, tasty vegetarian dishes and their ginger chicken, veggie crispy rolls and shrimp Spring Rolls are delicious. Also, do not forget to order the coconut milk drink and the famous Thai tea when you eat here. Thai cottage’s drink sizes are big compared to others and taste great. These drinks are especially good on a hot summer day. I strongly recommend this place, and I hope you will find Thai cottage’s dishes as attractive as I do.

CoCo's Cafe

Sugar Land, TX 77478
(Next to Welfarm)

The Scene:
Located next to Welfarm Supermarket in Sugar Land, CoCo's Cafe has a nice cozy cafe ambience and is a great place to just hang out. Pictures of different types of dishes posted on the walls is a nice touch for those who are not sure what to order.

The Food:
CoCo's Cafe most popular dishes are the beef/tomato noodle soup and crispy chicken bits with rice. But by looking at the pictures of some of the other dishes offered you would want to try them all. They have a variety of beverages (bubble tea, etc.) and also shaved ice bowls (refer to the menus in the information section on the left).

Heads Up:
They have a drink rewards program where you get a stamp each time you purchase a drink. Buy 6 drinks and the 7th is free. If you have the urge to have the icy bubble tea or fruit flavored smoothies to cool you down in this hot summer, and you also happen to be in the Sugar Land neighborhood, well then CoCo’s café will be the best choice for you.

China Gourmet

9600 Bellaire Blvd. # 105
Houston, TX 77036
(next to Dynasty Supermarket)

I have been going to China Gourmet (SI-FU-Lai) for almost 5 years. From the famous local snacks to the authentic full course meals, Si-Fu-Lai offers different variety of Taiwanese food. My favorite dish is the sizzling black pepper steak; this unique style cooking of steak was originally invented in Taiwan’s famous night market. For $5.75, you can have a plate of medium rare steak (about 8 to 10 oz), with the black pepper sauce poured on top. This plate also come with noodle or rice, one sunny side up egg, and baby corn or other vegetable. Si-Fu-Lai also provides sizzling fried chicken steak and pork chop, and they taste just as good. I also recommend the seafood toaster. This is very famous southern Taiwanese style chowder. The original name is called “mini-coffin” in Chinese, but now they have to rename it so customers would not be scared by the name. This creamy seafood chowder contains a lot of seafood and vegetable and soup is contained inside a fried toast box when ordered. Also one fried toast lid will be placed on top to close the fried toast box. Seafood toaster smells good and taste great with any dish you order. I recommend both dishes because the prices are fair and you can have either in less than 5 min after the order is placed.

Tay Do Chinese Vietnamese Restaurant
2529 Hwy. 6 South
Houston, TX 77082
(Located in Burlington Coat Factory shopping center)

The Scene:
Tay Do Chinese Vietnamese Restaurant is very elegantly designed. The lighting coming down from the extravagant chandeliers will catch your eyes immediately. The use of columns, indigenous faux plants, and must I say again, the lighting is just perfect. These items blend in with the entire restaurant's soothing atmosphere.

Chinese Restaurant in Houston Guide and Review

Hunan Plus Chinese Restaurant
9124 Bellaire Blvd.
Houston, TX 77036
Tele: 713-995-8825

Hunan Plus Chinese Restaurant made it to our list for two reasons: First, it is the cheapest place anywhere in Houston to have lunch or dinner. And we mean an entire meal. A meal includes a bowl of soup (hot and sour or egg drop), an egg roll, fried rice and of course the main dish (i.e. beef pepper steak). The portions are huge and you would probably need a to go box. Secondly, most of us associate cheap food with low quality. This is a misnomer here at Hunan Plus. Their food tastes great. If you are ever go to Chinatown, this is one place to stop by and try. You will definitely be saving money for other more important things.
