Lu Xiang Village 魯香村

I've parked my car in front of this store so many times in the last few years, but didn't actually venture in until recently when I was craving buns and remembered that a friend had highly recommended this place for just that.We got a few different ones to try. Our favorite was the string bean and pork bun (四季豆猪肉包), super flavorful and the two main ingredients mixed together very nicely. We also got a grilled Chinese leek and pork pie (韭菜猪肉馅饼), a set of steamed pork buns (小笼包 - note, these are not your typical Shanghai-style xlb; the filling is similar, but it's not a soup dumpling, it's a bun so thicker skin), and a bunch of red bean buns, all of which were very tasty as well. We ended up with enough food for 2-3 meals, and it cost only $16!! Can't wait to come back again. The buns re-heat very well, so buying extra and saving for later is definitely an option.

I had the Bamboo Shoots and Pork Belly dish and the Fish Ball Soup. The first came in a red sauce and was quite delicious. The Fish Ball Soup had a great broth. The actual fish balls had good tasting fish, but the dough was a little pasty. Seems like a restaurant with more authentic Chineese dishes. Some I would probably not venture to try. Enjoy.

WOW!! I can't believe this place isn't more popular than it is. First off, the prices are a complete steal. The Chinese fried culler 油条 is $1.50 for a very thick, 1 1/2 foot long strip. It's a little greasy, but still quite tasty! You'll need to show up early if you want the fried culler because they usually sell out by 10am. They have fresh soy milk $1 per serving (if you've only had silk soy milk, you need to upgrade your taste). The tofu with brown gravy 豆腐脑 is really savory and delicious and only $2 per serving! This place deserves much more attention, so please check it out!

Looking for authentic handmade buns? Look no further. Went on a Sunday and the store was well stocked in all types of buns (meats, veggies). The bun was made from leaven dough and very airy. Just like how my parents and grandparents make it. The vegetarian one was very good. We also got plain soy milk which was freshly made with aroma of soy beans. Portions were very large. Price very reasonable.

I'm not super familiar with Authentic Chinese Breakfast, But when I'm in Houston and I want to get a taste of the Far East at 9am this is where I got!Great prices and Quality

A lot of people in this small store. Staff are very friendly and informative about the bao ingredients. The orders were fast. Cash only! I truly enjoyed my salty tofu soup and mini bao.

Meh. Food was ok, expensive compared to other area restaurants. The person behind the counter didn't seem interested in serving me and ignored my questions about ingredients that weren't listed in English. They finally responded with an eye roll when I did order a bun. I guess you've gotta be a local to get good service ‍

Not to be confused with Loo Shag, which is what Barbie and I have done a few times when we just couldn't wait for the hotel. Ew.This is specialty Northern Chinese food which includes things like buns and dumplings and lots of, well how do I describe it? Chinese jerky, if you like.It's all really delicious and it's all really unique and perfect. Honestly, one of my favorite little places in Chinatown, and one which I bet I will be coming back to on a regular basis.

I am absolutely all timer fan to this hometown flavor staple with full of north eastern coastal pastries. Flavors are light and classic. Just can't forget to worship my Chinese temple of stomach over here Chinese donuts are huge sized and satisfying all my taste buds, veggie bun, small pork bun, green bean pork bun, stuffed pancake are all authentic. Hmmm, all the homesick are well worth with a sip of simple grind soy milk

The best is their vegetarian rice noodle bao zi.Their straight up pork bun (I think they called it xiao long bao) was not good.. meat looked and tasted dry. (But I am very spoiled w family that makes pork/shrimp buns w great quality ingredients.) The pork and sour veg bun tasted a bit better only bc a bit more flavor from the veg.The pig feet and pig ear was better than Alan's (or whatever was next to the market across Bellaire St... that place is super salty), good soy sauce coloring but it seems to lack a star anise or clove.. a little more kick in the spices (I'm also not from Northern China, which I read is this place??.. so we marinate differently.)Soy milk was nice and hot and real w sludge left over.The veggie and pork/veggie bai zi are huge. I'm not dying to return, but would just get their veggie bao zi.
