This has become my go to lunch restaurant. The food is fresh and hot. I've tried multiple items on their lunch menu and nothing has disappointed me. In fact, everything has been great. I especially like the Mongolian Beef, pictured.

I have been eating here since 1977. The food is excellent and consistent. Appetizers are excellent as well. Same family ownership and desire to create the best experience. Enjoy!!!

This is a long time culinary treasure in Houston . We’ve been eating here for nearly 40 years . Through all the ups and downs this place has always been our comfort space .
Warm unassuming and comfortable .
The food is always great and the service excellent .
In this age of cookie cutter corporate restaurants these kind of restaurants are slowly disappearing .
The owners are always present and personally engaged in the business . The hospitality is genuine and warm to a fault .
Thank you for 40 wonderful years of great food and caring . .

It's really hard to find good vegetarian food in Houston, and this Chinese restaurant keeps it really interesting. They have their Chinese food staples in vegetarian form: dumplings, egg rolls, and noodles. And then they have their stars, like the Vegetable Manchurian (deep fried vegetable balls) and the Spicy Eggplant. Plus, their wine list is really a bonus. And if the food and wine isn't enough of a selling point, this has been a family business for 50 years. The owners really develop a deep bond with regulars and will remember all of your favorite dishes for the next return. A total gem in Houston!

I recently discovered the Chinese Ambassador restaurant, and I’m so happy I did! I love the food, and Fernando always is so attentive and professional! If you want a great meal you should check out their great menu!

Friendly, clean, very pleasant atmosphere, fantastic crab puffs, orange chicken was delicious, black pepper shrimp was extraordinary. Staff was very accommodating and attentive without crowding me or making me feel pressured. If I lived closer, I'd visit often. It's worth an hour drive though.

We have been customers of this restaurant for years. It's a neighborhood institution, family owned and operated, and the dishes they serve are home made.
We love Mandarin Beef and Spicy Fried Eggplant. Also love their big homemade cabbage egg rolls and their pork dumplings.
The staff treats us like long lost family.

Amazing food!! The staff is great! We met one of the owners and she spent time talking to us. Amazing! Not many owners do that. We will definitely be making the trip back to Houston just because of this restaurant.
