"This restaurant is so bad that if i could do -5 starts i would do it"
"this place was quite good ! we ordered the pork egg rolls, fried crab puffs and the dumplings for our appetizers"
"08/28/2019 I tried to order today with them and they canceled my order said I have bad credit"
"I ordered take out from here and while it did take a long time to come, I was quite satisfied with the food"
"Well if your around this area, don’t miss out the Gem! Price was reasonable, and best part the food was fabulous! I had lunch: 1 Hot & Sour soup- just right hot and sour and not like other Chinese restaurant that’s cater to American sweet"
This restaurant is so bad that if i could do -5 starts i would do it. Let start saying we went today to have dinner with my family. The food was so horrible! No taste whatsoever and an so old and dry. We couldn't take it. We feel bad returning everything, so we agreed on returning only the sesame chicken and pay for the appetizers, the soups and the other entres, so we told the lady to take the chicken out of the ticket. She said the manager said the food was fine so we would have to pay for it regardless if we actually eat or not.. i refused and told her to take the chicken off the ticket. They keep saying i had to pay everything. At rhis point i told her either they take it out or i would not pay because i only had credit card. When i was exiting the restaurant with my mom and mother in law, 2 eldery persons, the guy came from the kitchen and the delivery guy came out of somewhere and start harassing us violently. They tried to take us inside the restaurant violently and i called 911. At that point the guy was trying to take the phone out of my hands violently. To make story short, police had to come and resolve the issue. I paid everything but the chicken as i requested. Avoid this place at all costs. If u go, do it at ur own risk. Don't say u was not adviced
this place was quite good ! we ordered the pork egg rolls, fried crab puffs and the dumplings for our appetizers. they were all cooked beautifully and we even received an extra order of egg rolls, which was generous. for entree’s, we ordered the orange chicken, general tso’s chicken, kung pao chicken (can you see a pattern lol) and the veggie fried rice. all of the chicken dishes were very flavorful and crispy, which i adored. many places don’t make their chicken crispy enough but this restaurant did the job and did it beautifully. the only gripe i heard from the family was that the vegetable fried rice was a bit bland, but that can easily be amended with the various provided sauces. lastly, we ordered a side of dan dan noodles. these noodles were perfectly cooked and just spicy enough to have a pleasant kick, but not so spicy that it overwhelms the flavor just for the sake of being spicy. much respect for that touch. overall, this was a lovely experience and we look forward to ordering from here again!

08/28/2019 I tried to order today with them and they canceled my order said I have bad credit. Didn't use a credit card so why would you say. They mad because i did a bad review on them for they customer service and the food I cancel because it sat there for a hr. When I get a chance I'm reporting them. They don't deserve a 1 star.The price on the website when ordering isn't correct they tell you that you still have to pay the difference even though you order on the website with a different price. Then today I order around 12:30 put message for them to call when order was ready they called a 1:45 to say it been ready and the lady was rude. I told her they was suppose to call she said it wasn't on my order. Why do you guys have a website to order and it's never working properly? I'm never going back and I use to love this place!!!!
I ordered take out from here and while it did take a long time to come, I was quite satisfied with the food. It was nothing spectacular, but it was good - which in itself is great because there are soooo many mediocre and not so great places out there. The vegetable rolls are delicious and I definitely recommend giving them a try. I will definitely be ordering from them again. I ordered the beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, and kung pao chicken. Beef and broccoli - good. Sweet and sour chicken - no pineapple or peppers, but I don't eat those anyways so it was perfectly fine and delicious for me. Kung Pao chicken - not my favorite, but not bad.
Well if your around this area, don’t miss out the Gem! Price was reasonable, and best part the food was fabulous! I had lunch: 1 Hot & Sour soup- just right hot and sour and not like other Chinese restaurant that’s cater to American sweet. Best soup! 2 pork egg foo young- cook to perfection and sauce was on the side and it was cook just perfect! Around this area you will not find a better egg foo young! 3 fried rice- cook just perfect! No soggy or due. It’s is a true fried rice! Service was family atmosphere and it’s all great! Over if I could give over 10 I would! Try it!

This place rocks for the lunch specials! The food is hot and the portions are just right. I’m a basic kinda guy when it comes to Chinese food so General Tso’s chicken is my go to. The place is small only around 10 tables or so. Might have to wait some time to get a table during rush hour but worth the wait. Did I mention the price? Great price for all the food you get. Strongly recommended.

I ordered through ubereats I got sesame chicken with a eggroll. I opted for fried rice this rice is not fried rice there is no omami too it this rice was cooked in a large batch no sesame oil no flavor I added some things to add taste too it. The chicken was okay this is another Chinese takeout that lacks flavor no spice it's made for a bland palette. I'm really believing you have too go to the hood to get actual good and flavored Chinese food.

My Gosh. I do not normally write reviews but I felt compelled to set the record straight. Who gave it 4.2? Who? I felt like I got punked pranked and punched. This place is so terrible the food was not even edible. I was so hungry when I left I had no energy to complain or shut the price. I thought the worst interior always has the best food. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. This was a waste of 60 dollars.

BUYER BEWARE! We ordered 2 sesame chicken meal, beef and broccoli meal, and low mein. When we received order, the low mein and 2 fried rice sides were not included. We called and spoke to Cindy- she argued talking in circles for over 10 mins that she had put food in the bag, to finally realize THEY FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE BAG. Their proposed solution: come pick up your missing food bc we don't have drivers. The money for the purchase was taken immediately, yet the refund will be in the account in 5 business day. TERRIBLE.
The food is great if the kid behind the window can get the order right. This is the third time I’ve tried to do a pickup from this place and you’d think after the first time I’d have learned my lesson but the food is so good. Again the minor behind the window gave my food to someone else and then instead of saying something to me he tries calling the people back to bring back the order. FIRST THATS A MAJOR HEALTH CODE VIOLATION. Maybe get a responsible adult, someone who pays attention to what they are doing.
Stayed at a hotel nearby and ordered online for deliver through DoorDash. Food arrived quickly and hot within about 30 - 45 minutes of placing the order. Driver was friendly and called me to work out where to meetup and drop off food at the hotel. You get a lot of food for the great price. I was surprised by the large soup bowl/cups that they deliver in. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for some great tasting Chinese food.
Make sure to check your takeout orders before leaving!! I ordered shrimp fried rice with chicken wings half and half, only to discover the chicken wings were completely left out of my order. When I called back, the guy said he “didn’t charge me for it”. If I didn’t want to be charged I wouldn’t have ordered it. There was no apology whatsoever. Very disappointed. Always check, seeing as they can’t be trusted apparently.
Delicious food, good prices, great portions. Actually really like this place. Their lunch specials are really great and you get a lot of food. Their General Tso’s is really unique and has a really good dark sauce with amazing flavor you don’t find everywhere. It reminds me of New York style flavor. I found myself craving it lol, super good.

The foods been getting worse the last few times, the service was always Lacking and now that they changed apps and only have a delivery option with fees and tip automatically Included it’s time to change we eat there once a week for a quick bite, locations always been unwelcoming, but the food wasn’t bad for the price , sometimes it was a miss but good for the most part…the new changes lost loyal customers .
First of all I want to say it is not the best I ever had, but it was very tasty. I am here for work and have ordered here twice. Both times the food came very fast and was very tasty, the food was delivered so fast I had to let it cool down. Most of the time you order delivery it's cold but not here, I recommend this place for a great dinner with fast delivery, good flavor and kind staff.
I've been trying different chinnese restaurants this one is definitely one of the top 10 I like the orange chicken is to die for

No customer service. Tables dirty, not a cleanly place. A huge aquarium soon as you walk in, you can't see the dinning well. But the little area you can see, tables not clean. I ordered vegetable fried rice 3/14/22 and it was horrible. Way to much salt. I also ordered 2 egg rolls that was okay. You want quality Chinese/Asian food. Find some other place this is not it.
1 Star because negative stars wasn't an option. Undercooked/Pink chicken was delivered with fries that taste as if they were cooked in grease two days ago and then re-cooked in more grease. I called back to the restaurant and the lady on the phone debated that the chicken was done. All I want is a refund. They were no help and will never order from there again.
Good place for Chinese food! You can order over the phone and pickup your meal. Make sure you are specific with what you want, otherwise they go with the default, like white rice instead of the fried rice. Good prices. Parking if limited.

Tiny, but cheap and generous portions. Standard American Chinese food, with rice and soup. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the food is consistently satisfying even if it isn't exactly authentic. Parking can be an issue at peak lunch time (it's a very small lot) but other than that it's an easy spot for a quick lunch.
Solid ..very solid restaurant.. very generous portions in everything and extremely tasty. We have had just about everything in the menu so I can tell you as a professional food eater that your tummy will be extremely satisfied. My favorite dishes are.... everything...so eat away and explode!!.. jk don't explode …

The wait time is a bit much especially if you're pressed for time but the food is freaking gooooood. I had roast duck and crispy spicy fish fillets. I've looking for a good Sichuan place and this one really delivered. Highly recommended for those with lots of time to spare. Yeah the wait time really gets you hahaha
Last night I decided to try this place out since they left a menu at my apartment door. NEVER AGAIN!!! There was a small roach in my sweet and sour kitchen....and not like it crawled into the box but it was actually in the batter fried with the chicken. I dont know how this place has such a high star rating.
This is a nice and cute family owned business! The food is pretty traditional, and the staff are very attentive. The location is a bit isolated from other areas but overall cute experience. Although it was a bit hot inside there but then again, that’s what one can expect from a traditional Chinese place!
The food was good. Service was ok. The restaurant felt old. The dinner menu comes with a soup. The eggdrop soup is recommended. Good authentic Chinese restaurant

First time ordering and the last. Not very flavorful IMO. Mongolian beef was pretty fatty. Wife liked all the veggies. Tried the cashew chicken, chicken fried rice and the string beans also. All tasted the same.

Delicious food, well made and generous portions! My family and I dined out here on Christmas Day close to closing time, the staff was polite! I've tasted terrible hot and sour soups before but not this one, there's a good amount of tofu and flavor in the hot and sour soup ❤️
I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! I drive all the way from South Kirkwood to get this food ❤️ I’m so glad they’re back open!!! Definitely recommend, also their lunch special is cheap af and is from 11 am to 4 pm, and the dinner special is only maybe $2-$3 more i think. ☺️ …
Perfect place for a quick lunch when you want Americanized “cheap” Chinese food. Their food is great quality. Always get extra egg rolls. I love that lunch comes with a cold can of Diet Coke.

Always a pleasant experience with the food here! Anything you order will be good. We frequently order from this restaurant over the others in the area because of higher quality and better taste. With the great prices and fast delivery, you can't beat this place!
No good knew when I walked in the door I should have left. Took two bites and threw it out. No flavor at all! You are better off with a frozen meal from the grocery store!!

Went there for lunch yesterday and I loved the food. Very authentic and cooked right when your order it! Nice and clean inside, happy and friendly waitress. The chef even came out to make sure everything was good! Definitely recommend, will return.
I used to love this place but they've gone downhill! 1. hot chinese food in Styrofoam container is just not tasty - shows the restaurant doesn't care for their customer or their product - 2. shrimp & broccoli is dry - why hold back on the
Nihao Chinese is one of the best Restaurants who sell Chinese Food, I have been in Houston 6 years I ate a lot Chinese food in different restaurants and this is the best I found, Honestly. Even though the fried rice is delicious …
Walked in to order to go. Front desk worker did not acknowledge me and as I am standing there she took a phone call order. The whole time no acknowledgment not even a “I will be right with you”. I left and will not go here again.
Fast delivery which was great but the beef was tough, rice bland and to top it off my fried wontons was way over cooked to the point I couldn't even eat them due to them being so hard. What a waste of money. Very disappointed.
Service is mildly rude but let's hope at least the food is better than the service. Take-out only at the moment as well. Placed an order and had to ask for condiments drink etc. Server lied said he offered but i said no.
Typical Chinese fast food restaurant. Tried the sliced fish on sizzling plate which was too oily for me and Dan-Dan noodle which removed spiciness from the authentic version but was still so tasty that I finished it.
REALLY good. I always judge Chinese food by two main factors: 1) quality of the meat and 2) quality of the sauce (doesn't break, favorful, etc). This place hits on place and it's inexpensive. Would highly recommend.
My family & I took a chance having never been here & we were presently surprised. This place is quaint, quiet, & the food was great!.

I came today for lunch for the Kung Pao chicken and for the past 7 years it had been greeeaaat!!! Today i found a roach in my food!!! You just lost me as a customer. And yes i called the health department!!
Would have been 5 stars, but they forgot chopsticks and a spoon. This was especially complicated because I have no dining utensils unpacked. Eating shrimp & rice with my bare hands, won ton soup is next...
Extremely unhappy and disappointed with my meal and the service I received today. Was bad enough that they got my order wrong then I find a dead insect in my meal! Please take your business elsewhere!
I love the food here they give you large portions the employees are very friendly and the place is clean. Definitely would recommend eating here the food is amazing. Please try it you won't regret it
Excellent Chef not like other Asian food this a non-fast food with a culinary-chef that blends authentic flavors with a unique quality (I feel it is under priced and do not let menu fool you...)
Even though they were so busy (take out orders) they were friendly but thickly accented. I liked the hot and sour soup. Seating is unkempt and very limited. Prices are lower than other places.
Had good lunch menu with soup, egg roll and good sized portions. The staff was friendly and the food tasteed great!

Generous quantity for about $6-$7 main entree, soup and the egg-roll! Quality is not bad either! I just get nervous about the food when the sale price is less than the cost of ingredients :-)
The best Chinese food I've had in years. Service was family friendly, extremely fast, and the food was awesome! Portion size is excellent as well, a great value. Thank you for a great meal!

Small little shop with great food. Orange chicken was super organgey lol, most likely from the large chunks of fresh orange mixed in. Kung Pao was a bit spicy but still great.
Our company usually orders here a lot and the food is great. The person that took our order kept changing the prices on us and was not fluent in English. Messed up our order.
Been eating at this place for nearly 10 years now. Still one of my favorites here in H-town.

I eat here a lot its small so service is very good. The food is great. Not greasy Like a lot of Chinese restaurants. Price is fair.
Good food, good price. I had carry out and the food portion was quite large for what I paid. I'll be going back here in the future.
Close to my apartment, deliver carryout or eat in. Good and fast unless delivered. Good choices. Good service. Small dining room.
Awful food. Very bland. Everything we ordered tasted like it was 2 days old and they just reheated it. Pick another restaurant!
Order was wrong and food old. Called the restaurant and the owner never offered to replace or give credit. Never eat there
I really like this place but it’s always hard to call in an order. Didn’t get through today and I was craving them …
