Xiong's Cafe

The historic Chinese noodle shop, focused on traditional Chinese cuisine fast food, and there are all kinds of delicious Taiwanese beverages. The most recommended is the Beijing noodles, very taste, there are a lot of delicious pasta Roumo, so you can eat. Honest and trustworthy is a good restaurant.

4 of us ordered 4 different dishes so we could try everything. But we didn’t expect it would come in huge bowls like that. The beef noodle soup is delicious, especially when you use with their chili sauce. The dumpling soup is good as well. I guess they use the same beef broth for the dumpling soup. The pork rice plate is awesome, they marinate the pork very well. We went there in the afternoon around 2 or 3pm. So there were only us and the food came out really fast. They also have free millet soup and hot tea.

The fried pork dumplings are awesome. Some of the best I've had. Big and tasty and didn't need any sauce. The streamed lamb were unique, never had them anywhere else. The hot and sour soup and Dan Dan noodles were both only okay. The soup was quite different from other places. I liked that it was different, but I prefer other flavor profiles. The Dan Dan noodles had a nice amount of pork, but I would go for the sechuwan noodles next time as the sauce was a bit too peanut/sweet for me. I'd come back for the dumplings but try a different soup and noodle dish.

My taste buds were so fulfilled! Not intentionally, I haven't been around Bellaire area(delayed construction, heavy traffic, ownership changed...etc) for quick bite for a while. Today, I stopped by here; Xiong's cafe for beef noodle soup(modified with adding tomatoes and spicy). It was Awesome and made me regret to avoid Chinatown for lunch spot. I was so bothered by traffic jam but I forgot how good these Real Chinese food @ Bellaire area! I am definitely coming back here soon, maybe tomorrow...

I discovered this place when I had a hankering for dumplings and this place came highly recommended and it is now my go-to when I am craving not only dumplings but beef noodle soup as well, and their chicken heart appetizer is so good! Now, I am not Taiwanese so I can't vouch for the authenticity of this place, but I've brought my Chinese boyfriend here a few times and he says it's just like the noodle houses in Hong Kong. Our favorites are the spicy beef tendon soup and the spicy szechuan dumplings. 👍

Lamb shank noodle soup was excellent! The broth was flavored and hearty, the noodles were plentiful but the best part was the lamb. Tender enough to pull apart with chop sticks and cooked to perfection. The nuggets and veggie plate was excellent as well. Veggies are sweet and lightly done. Nuggets a tad over done but still great flavor. The assortment of items on the plates was impressive. Mix vegetable with egg drop noodle soup was also excellent. Paired with the fried bean tofu, which was phenomenal by itself, made the meal!
