Hidden gem with great options. Eclectic menu. The largest pan-fried dumplings around.

This place is a gem inside a mall. There are essentially two types of food on the menu: Westernized Chinese & Authentic Hong Kong Style Cuisine. I'm so glad we came with our friend who knew what to order. The plates were a little pricey but well worth the clean and nicely presented dishes. We really wish they had more pictures so we can come without our friend. :)

Food and service are good but a little overpriced. I ordered orange chicken. The portion is big for one person.

Horrible! I wasn't impressed. I ordered the Combo noodles with pork, chicken and shrimp. For a $16 plate I expected a larger serving and more meat. It was more noodles than anything. And they only had one waiter taking orders. The tea was watered down, yuk! Really! On a Saturday afternoon in the Galleria! And they were not busy, place was practically empty, but you really couldn't tell the way the place is set up to be seated. We had to keep looking for the waiter for everything since they sat us in the back. Never again.

This is my second time here and since the food is very special I decided to write a review about what dishes I love.
The most memorizing dish was the deep fried poem ribs. I tried a lot of this dish in different place in houston but man their ribs are so good. First when they brought it to your table you can already smell it and It was greaaat. On the smell part I gave them 10 points, full score! And when I taste it I wonder how they can make it so crispy outside and soft inside. Highly recommended dish, and I hardly highly recommend things.
Second is their pancake, my friend loved it and that's a dish she order every time she's here, but it wasn't the way how I like my Chinese pancake.
Third is their vegetable with soft tofu. I finished most of it, veggies is fresh and tofu is super soft.
I also like their pork wrap, just a bit salty but other than that, super good!
It was a super busy day so the server might be just a little slow, but when he was with us he's super attentive.
Highly recommended place, thumbs up!

Overall a fine hole in the wall restaurant! A d that's what it is a hole in the wall near this outcropping of eateries.
The food is cooked wonderfully and fresh in the back, you can hear them behind you cooking it fresh!
The service is amazing compared to the other Galleria eateries who simply want you to pay and move along so they can serve the next customer.
The atmosphere slows you down from the hussel and bustle right outside the door!
We drove 45 mins just for this food, it's worth it every time we come!

Very highly recommended. They do have halal chicken and they provided the certificate on the window. The manager took care of our order by herself. Very professional. The food are delicious

The soup dumplings are perfect. They have juicy fillings and thin wrap. It is very difficult to achieve. Very few restaurants in the US won't mess it up, certainly none in the Chinatown. Usually the wrap of the dumplings is made either too thick like a bum or will break when picked up, leaking out all the precious juice you paid for. I will give five stars just for the dumplings but other dim sums in e-Tao are also seriously good. I would recommend it to anyone who loves dim sum.

I love the Super great place for meal hour. Love it so good fresh seafood. Tasty delicious noodle dishes with chopsticks for easy delivery for my mouth taste. Picture of food fresh with price for convenient conversation with partnerships. lovely moments to eat all the days of the week before next season. Freshness of vegetables stretch lifetime existence for souls of course. Garden bloom glows solely for invigorating instant juncture. Responsibility so strong due to accepting employment jobs. Attractive meat stocks for mouthwatering duration for meals in order for fresh health. Excited to see and watch rent new area of this restaurant citizenship’s nightspots. Won’t be determined until I cannot leave early.
