We are visiting Houston and decided to try this restaurant. Both food and service are great. We ordered sweet and sour fish, meat ball, green mustard, and Kao Fu. All of them are authentic. The portion is good too. It's fun to see the basketballs with signatures.

Consistently great. Both the service and food. Excellent lunch specials. We are definitely returning again.

My favorite restaurant needs an update. This is the best Chinese food in houston , best staff, but the decor and appeal of the place is old and outdated. Sorry.

It’s been awhile I have not had the chance to stop by this place but I did last night and their Peking duck, yum, still the same as it is. The skin is crispy and the meat is so juicy and tender, on top of that you get to see the chef cuts the duck right in front of you. The price is reasonable since the quality of the duck is just awesome. Our server was hilarious and attentive. I’ll have to come back more often.

Always a reliable place for a feast; pre-ordering is required as not all dishes are available (restaurant is still in scaled down mode).

I had dinner here with my boyfriend and his parents a few weeks ago. The food was nice, and the staff were very friendly. The waitress spoke Chinese with me made me so happy. It was a great time. We will be back for more fun time with good food. ♥️

Some of my favorite Chinese food on the west side. Peking duck is cheaper here than in Chinatown. Carved at your table, it is so succulent and tender with almost no fat. Their steamed pork dumplings are excellent, and the cumin duck wings are a favorite. Ask to sit with Kim, a wonderful waitress who always has a smile. They deliver, just give them a call, and they are on some of the apps like Door Dash. Lots of Yao Ming momentos in the bar area.

I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious this place was. We ordered a set menu for Lunar New Year dinner and it was spot on. Each dish was delicious, different and well balanced, only possible with fresh ingredients. If I want authentic Chinese food, I can't think of a better place. Will be back for dinner. My favorite Chinese restaurant for family style meals right now.
