iEATS Rice Noodle - Katy

★★★★☆ 4.2 (32)

"KATY, TX 77449 / GUANGXI, SOUTH CHINA CUISINE / 08-24-23 / TAKEOUT DINNER+The rice noodle portions are great; very filling.+It's awesome that a South China regional cuisine has established itself in the Katy Asian Town & Marketplace shopping district. I know there is another location in the Bellaire area, and I hope they continue to grow/expand their businesses.+The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean, with a nice layout.+The takeout packaging was well-prepared.-The bone broth was a little too salty for our liking. Other than the high sodium content, the soups were very flavorful and full of umami.-The chicken wings appetizer left a lot to be desired. The quality of the wings used was terrible, and there was too much fat and breading. Skip this appetizer. Maybe get the Taiwanese popcorn chicken instead?-Some random menu items; i.e., tater tots. Would love to see some more traditional Southern Chinese dishes on the menu, even in the appetizers section.-The website could use some improvement, including some better descriptions of the menu offerings, if they would like to expand their customer demographics.What we ordered:'1 A6. Fried Chicken Wings $6.99'1 D1. Losifen Rice Noodle with Vegetables $12.85'1 E1. Bone Broth Rice Noodle with Char Siu $10.85'1 E4. Bone Broth Rice Noodle with Beef Brisket $12.85Total: $47.14 post tax plus tipOverall, the restaurant's concept is great and the food was pretty good. I could definitely see myself returning, keeping this Chinese regional specialty shop in my rotation of noodle soup destinations."

The Blind Goat

★★★★☆ 4 (188) • $$$

"We enjoyed the Blind Goat. I have been a huge fan of Chef Christine and frequented Xin Chao when she was partnered with them. This restaurant did not disappoint. We had the Jungle chicken salad, fried rice, garlic noodles, eggrolls, and the rubbish apple pie. The Jungle salad and the garlic noodles were by far my favorite things. The salad was so fresh and the crunchy sesame rice cracker bowl was the perfect vehicle for the fresh and bright salad."

Teriyaki Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (208)

"This has become our new favorite go to spot for some Asian food. We really like their Spicy Teriyaki chicken, it's packed with flavored the chicken is cooked to perfection sweet and spicy. The beef udon was a little underwhelming. It was packed it with more udon noodles with a thin top layer for beef, which was disappointing. Beef was flavorful however, I just wish there was MORE of it. The special fried rice is your combination rice of beef and chicken mixed nothing different from your usual fried rice that you get from there. I would say overall Spicy Teriyaki is our fav!"

Casian King Food Truck

"Ordered Lobster roll way over priced.That was the negative but the other food hit the mark Korean bbq po boy and garlic crab fries."

Yami House

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"One of the only Asian fast food spots in the area. Ordered our food and it was ready in 10 minutes. The Chinese dishes reminds me of your typical delicious Chinese fast food spots. However, the roll I had was restaurant caliber. A delightful family-owned business that left my appetite fully satisfied."

Tan's Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (10)

"One of the most authentic Hunan cuisine in grand Houston area. Dishes like xiao chao rou (spicy pork with long hot peppers) and white pepper with smoked beef are signature Hunan dishes, where this restaurant offers the best taste after I tried pretty much all Hunan cuisine in Houston. The place is spacious and clean. Services were attentive. I was surprised to see some very negative reviews. Maybe because it's not Americanized Chinese sweet and sour food hence the uncomfortable experience? If you like spicy food and want real Chinese food, you will enjoy."

K & S Seafood Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (89) • $$

"What a great find! I've had this place bookmarked for quite some time because of all the reviews I've seen for this place on yelp. This is a small mom and pops type of establishment that could easily be missed when driving by due to the location and signage. We kind of had to search for it even though we mapped it out. It's located in the same center as the Valero and the Pizza Hut, directly across from the Stripes gas station.For starters, we had the boudin and the dumplings. Both items were pretty darn good and looked way better than pictured. We also tried the hush puppies, fish tacos, fried platter combo with the fried oysters, fried shrimp, and stuffed crab. All of the items were phenomenal. Their breading was light, crispy and well seasoned. One of my friends said that the tartar sauce was like crack. I thought it was just okay. Portions were huge and way more than we expected. We had quite a bit of leftovers to take home. Can't wait to return!"

"I know this might sound kinda hokey,But friends in L.A. are quite Cokey,Including several ex's,Meanwhile I'm in Texas,Because my drugs are Boba and Poke.This clean, fresh, bright and friendly Poke shop is part of Katy Asian Town, and we always enjoy coming here for a tasty, healthy snack. Edited review for content. Now for a rap.Hey my name's Fox and you're kinda CUTE I have a reputation for being a BRUTE I often go for dinner in my birthday SUIT When I walk in, the TV puts itself on MUTE Do I like boys or girls? The question's MOOT And I like to do American Pie with my FLUTE If you have a camera, you might wanna SHOOT Cause I drop more bombs than they do in BEIRUT I'm always on the lookout for a new RECRUITMy reviews are offensive and I don't DILUTE I tried to tone it down but it won't COMPUTE Another business owner just filed a LAWSUIT But if you read the words, I'm quite ASTUTE Global expertise but without the SNOOT So if your Poke knowledge is somewhat MINUTE Come and get some here at SQUARE ROOT!WHATPortions aren't huge but then neither is your boyfriend's shirt. I had quite a lot of bad Poke and some mediocre stuff, but this one was pretty good. It wasn't one of the best 3 or 4 that I've had in the Houston area, but it was definitely satisfying, and even though it's a little bit expensive for Katy, it's pretty affordable compared to the ones down in Midtown.The decor is really nice here, and it's located right in the middle of the fancy shiny new Katy Asian Town which has so many Asian businesses for you to come and try. And this should definitely be one of them, to go with all the great Boba over here such as Yan Tea, Fuji Tea, and Tea Top, as well as Happy Lemon.Wasn't sure between 4 or 5 stars, but it's locally owned, not a chain, and that seals the five-star deal.In conclusion. This is a very nice poke place with very delicious stuff. We had a nice poke Bowl here for about mid price. It's definitely one that we would come back to and enjoy again in future.You've done all your labour, now give me your FRUIT You'll be impressed when you see me SALUTE I wanna jump on you without a PARACHUTE Draw from days at the house of ILL REPUTE And use my expertise as a PROSTITUTE (And now that you know that, don't PERSECUTE) (And if you're law enforcement, don't PROSECUTE) (And if I get a death sentence, don't ELECTROCUTE) (Only backwards barbaric nations EXECUTE) (Anyway, where was I, let's not CONVOLUTE) So we'll do it like an Alaskan MALAMUTE And afterwards you'll know, there's no SUBSTITUTE But first, before I bring you into DISREPUTE My dinner suggestion is ABSOLUTE Cause no other Poke house has this ATTRIBUTE The only route we need to take is SQUARE ROOTWHAT"

The Monk's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (125)

"Did a door dash order here early September cause I wasn't in the mood to cook and indian food was on my mind. Found this spot and placed an order for a few items which were:Veggie Samosa - 7/10Chicken Tikka Masala - 7/10Gongura Shrimp Biryani - 9/10Garlic Naan - 6/10Both the veggie samosas and chicken tikka masalas were solid; not over-the-top but good. The samosas had some crunch and good filling. The chicken tikka was tender with good spice and seasoning. Garlic Naan was alright, texture-wise it's soft with good amount of seasonings. By itself, not bad. Dip in that masala, now it's to another level! Favorite was the Shrimp Biryani, by far. Shrimp is large, the rice and seasonings go well together and it's quite filling. And the portion is huge! Had leftovers for the next day and it still tasted awesome when microwaved.Price-wise, it's a bit expensive but that's with the doordash extra charges (why do I keep getting suckered by them). I look forward to checking out the restaurant and eating at the establishment where it's much better cooked-to-order than delivered to you."

Taizzi Sushi - Katy

★★★★☆ 4.4 (429) • $$$

"Despite the cramped seating, limited parking, and prices at the time (#1), I managed to come away loving the experience because the food was good and the service was beyond excellent. The latter is all the reason I plan on putting Taizzi Katy on my list of AYCE sushi go-tos.It's not much to look at. The interior is a bit on the smaller side and can probably comfortably fit 20 people. Whether it's the small'ish group tables in the front or the smaller 2 tops in the back, it can feel somewhat cramped. There are also seats by the bar, but given all the items I tend to order, the table is best.The menu is so rich with options that it's a fun adventure just choosing things from the menu. I appreciate that they've labeled each of their items based on whether it's raw, spicy, and even if it will take extra time. Coupled by the fact it's a picture menu, along with the "preferred cut" for sushi and sashimi of thin / medium / thick is unheard of to me. Even the rolls have a breakdown of the interior, exterior, and whether or not there is sauce on each one. I'm so impressed.There's been so many rolls (#2) that only a handful (#3) truly stand out. I loved the::: Elvin (shrimp, tempura, crab, cucumber, topped with salmon, tuna):: Final Destination (soft shell crab, spicy crab, asparagus, topped with tuna and salmon) :: SpamHolic (spam, eel sauce):: Mistake (mixed fish with spicy mayo, eel sauce):: SalmonAss (salmon, crabmeat, cream cheese, avocado, topped with salmon with spicy mayo, eel sauce)I was also a fan of my nigiri and thought my favorite pieces were the fatty salmon, yellowtail, salmon egg, and scallop. For all sashimi, I prefer the thick cut and love ordering a bunch at once. The fish isn't going to be mind blowing quality wise, but for an AYCE spot, it is definitely a big thumbs up.There's a lot to appreciate with their hot foods as well. I think their sushi towers are fun on the food porn front and the grilled collars (yellowtail, salmon) are fabulous. No one talks about their "monkey brains" or baked mussels enough, so I recommend it all for any one who wants something cooked. It's also important to note that soda is included with the AYCE deal.Service wise, they hit it out of the park. Our waitress was attentive, polite, and went out of her way to ensure they subbed right items for allergies at our table. She was also accommodating my party every step of the way. At the end she didn't hassle us to leave, but was so kind from start to finish. I know Taizzi takes their customer service seriously and for that I'm extremely grateful. I can't wait for my next visit.___________(#1) During my first time here, it was three different levels of pricing, which became sort of confusing. It's now just a straight $36 for everything.(#2) I'll never remember all of their names(#3) Unintentional pun"

Teriyaki Madness

★★★★☆ 3.6 (33)

"We order from teriyaki madness for the office atleast once a month. At some point we were having it so often I was like we gotta stop y'all lol But it's so good I can't even resist I'd say their top items are their spicy chicken and the teriyaki chicken. Comes with fried rice and noodles and we love the mixed veggies. We've ordered orange chicken before and it's whatever but the other two are the stars!The catering packaging on ez cater are perfect for our office lunches and everyone is always pretty excited to hear we're having this for lunch. Never been to this location but this review is based solely on their catering and if their food is anything like their catering then it should be delish.Not sure if it's a chain or not but the owner is soooo nice and has personally delivered the food for us as well"

Blood Bros. BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.1 (460)

"Every time I see Blood Bros BBQ on social media, I get excited. Because it brings me a good feeling from many memories of Bao Battle, Banh Mi Cookoff and other fundraising events benefiting the AAPI communities. Recently, I finally set foot at the restaurant. My first dish was the Smoked Brisket Burnt End on Steam Buns on the daily special menu back in February.My recent visit was on the last day of May. I went to check out the restaurant for a party. I want to be able to accommodate my guests with best possible experience. I spoke to the cashier, I believe they can deliver the experience that I am hoping for. While I was there, I ordered a Green Thai Curry Boudin Eggroll. It was a takeout. So, I didn't expect to be anything fancy. But when I opened the box... Wow, I was amazed by the presentation. The flavor, OMG, my taste buds were dancing in my mouth. So many exciting flavors and perfect combination of sweet, savory and spiciness. Not sure when I will get to see this item on the menu again.On my next visit, I am going to try the standard BBQ items on the menu. With the dining reward provided by the restaurant, I will be back more often."

Miss Saigon Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (142) • $$

"The Museum District is one of the few areas of Houston that doesn't have a significant Vietnamese presence, which is what makes Miss Saigon Cafe stand out as one of the only pho options. The vibe is homey and small with lovely service to boot, but unfortunately that's where the appeal ends. The food was a big bust for my group and I.I can't stress it enough: I love the family that runs this place. The grandma is incredibly friendly and extremely kind to us. We loved the complimentary sour yogurt and gesture with the grapes. The rest of the wait staff was fairly attentive, despite being extremely slow with everything from food to getting the check to even filling the our waters. Still, good service is one of the most critical elements of a business and thus, 3 stars.The vibe can be described as quaint but comfy. The seating arrangements are small enough for a casual date night in the neighborhood, but good enough for mini groups to feast as well. The mural on the wall is an interesting decor choice and I haven't seen a large crowd here apart from lunchgoers in the area. That's where the buck stops sadly. My pho dac biet was a disappointment with broth as dark as coffee and meat that was tough from being overcooked. I appreciated the fresh herb condiments but they didn't save the bowl. Pho ga was also a disaster with the same dark broth and chunks of chicken breast. Bun thit nuong was not much better. The pork was very underwhelming and the noodles were sparse. I think the cha gio were marginally better but I'm not even sure they're made in house. Banh xeo was easily the most disappointing since it was semi-soggy and the stuffing was also minimal. We didn't even apply the fish sauce and it was already falling apart.I realize that there's an audience for everyone, but I'm clearly not the target demo in this scenario. I may come back but not for a very long time."

Cafe Alma Ata Taco

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"A random but solid spot and decided to try! I was intrigued by the style of food. The Samsa was filled with beef and orange peppers, it was a good starter (flakey pastry). The noodle is a good description of tomato soup with beef cubes and green beans. The texture of the noodles are Asian styled! Dumplings really is a must, it sounds weird with sour cream but great blend. The dough and beef inside was delicious. This style of food was different, but good!"

Flip 'n Patties - Downtown

★★★★★ 4.5 (138) • $$

"Located in the food court at Understory in downtown Houston, my friend and I decided to eat here since we had passed it on the way to and away from the restroom (lol) and my god, the smell was hard to pass on. I never usually eat Filipino food but always knew they made food with great flavors. My friend and I settled on the mini kamayan, and like everyone else said, it definitely feeds 3-4 people instead of the 2 people stated on their menu. What a great value! The rice had a buttery/garlicky taste that was oh so good. The different meats within the kamayan all had their own flavors and textures. I was extremely impressed that I liked all of them. My favorite would probably be the grounded patties. The kamayan also comes with a sweet and sour sauce and gravy that compliments the meats. Shoutout to the workers there that night who really took care of me and my friend! They were the sweetest and had great energy."

Wokker HTX

★★★★☆ 4.4 (159) • $

"Fun fusion joint that combines Texan and Asian influences. The pork belly fried rice was tasty with tender and fatty pork belly. The brisket egg rolls were good as well although I wished the brisket was juicier. Great flavors overall.Love the vibe here. The space is pretty big with just enough decoration to entertain the eye. They were also playing killer Southern jams (e.g. Tammy Wynette). Friendly service.Clean bathrooms. Ample parking."

"I ended up trying this place because they were at an event at the museum and I will definitely be ordering takeout from here again. They were giving out free samples of their pork and fried brussel sprouts. The pork was so tender and melted in my mouth and the brussel sprouts were cooked to perfection. My friend and I ended up ordering the loaded fries with the pork and the kimchi quesadilla with pork. They were both so good we forgot to take photos, but will try to remember next time. Definitely getting the brussel sprouts next time!"

Fuya Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (14)

"This is a new restaurant and so worth coming here. We tried the fried dumplings as an appetizer and they were delicious. Hubby had chili beef and I had tangerine beef. Hubby's was a tad spicy. Mine was also spicy but the tangerine sauce was sweet and countered the spice. So so so good. Both dishes had enough that we took some home. There were not a lot of customers inside (too bad cuz I like to look at the other dishes) but lots of take outs. Our server, Chen, was professional and friendly and attentive (but not overly). The music was not blasting so we ate in relative peace. I love this place. We will definitely be back."

"Authentic Vietnamese restaurant with a clean and cool interior decor. The waitress offered super fast service and the food was delicious. My lemon grass beef bun was grilled and flavorful. My dining partner had the spring rolls and traditional beef pho, both were so good! We had other friends who also joined us later and order the mignon beef, grilled chicken with shrimp rice plate, won ton noodle soup, and the stir fry noodles. None of the dishes disappoint. A huge selection of drinks including milk tea and juice. Since they are not a Chinese restaurant, I opt for the Vietnamese fresh lemon lime juice which was perfect for catching my vitamin Cs on a cold rainy day in Houston!"

"First time here and left pleased and satisfied.This is a fusion of Mexican and Asian cuisine. The portions are HUGE! You really should consider one order for 2 or more people. I ordered the spicy Korean chicken fried rice. The chicken was full of flavor and well seasoned. The fried rice was full of onions and scallions!I also ordered the spreegrolls: an eggroll wrapped in a spring roll (don't knock it till you've tried it). If you're in Houston you have to check this place out."

Offered us complementary bottles water since they were out of other drinks and offered another customer who had to wait a little while 15% off the next time she comes back. Overall just seemed like great people with a nice little patio space. They also offer DoorDash for those who just want to order in. We'll definitely be back to try their other menu items!"
