Stopped by Saturday morning around 8am for breakfast. Ordered a few basic items to try like the Chinese donut with soy milk, custard buns, and chive pockets. Added on some pork and shrimp dumplings. Everything was delicious. Credit card is accepted but there's a 3% fee. It's a small restaurant so only a handful of tables. The donut and soy milk were excellent and served fresh and warm. I've had better donuts but only in Asia. The soymilk was served hot in a bowl for dipping. The custards were hot and the filling creamy and hot. I liked the chive pockets the most because they have some egg and noodles in them. Great texture and easy to eat. Would definitely order them again. The dumplings are steamed so their wrapping appears almost like crystal dumplings and opaque. Filling and juicy. Perfectly flavored.

Also known as Ethan's Snacks (next to Shanghai dim sum by HMart)A friend raved a out their fried dough stick. Went in and ordered their fried dough stick and soy milk. Delicious. The fried dough stick is crispy but soft. My dad enjoyed it too. The soy milk is served hot and unsweetened. It's sooooooo very good. I can't explain it. Addictive. We've always tried a few skewers - mushroom, tofu, chicken and pork belly. It's all sauced up and I thoroughly enjoyed them. We also tried the bean curd (the receipt said tofu jelly) and it was nice and we ate it with some rice when we got home.I've stopped by on way too many days to get a soy milk (or two) and the fried dough stick. It's a little pricey but worth it in taste.

this is the type of place that you want to simultaneously shout about from the rooftops but also keep under wraps so your favorites never sell out when you want them!tucked in the corner by H-Mart, this hole-in-the-wall shop is also known as "Ethan's Snack Bar." Run by a mother-son duo with fantastic home-made comfort breakfast foods like tofu nao (savory bean curd) + you tiao (fried dough stick), doujiang (soy milk), rou jia mo (the "chinese hamburger), jiucai hezi (chive pies), this is the breakfast spot that I crave and was the first stop I brought our Chinese immigrant family on our whirlwind tour through Chinatown. I've only ever tried the crispy intestine skewer and it was phenomenal. If you can't tell from the whiteboard exclusively in Chinese and the fact that most people are ordering their takeout in Mandarin only, this place is the real deal. The owner is kind and patient and very involved. There are a few tables inside, though it would be tough to get a huge crowd in. There is ample parking. Everything comes out piping hot and fresh!This is a place we will return to time and time again!

Thank you for the recommendation of foodie extraordinaire, Karin Jamieson, we had a satisfying Chinese breakfast in Chinatown. According to the young talent owner/chef, everything is made in-house. I'm especially impressed by the thin casing/skin of the Sauerkraut Meat Pie, probably the best I've sampled in Houston.Their Chinese Donut is less greasy than others, definitely top pick in Houston, goes excellent with the sweet Soy Milk. The owner also recommended their WonTon, which is also delicious in a milky broth. We get the Marinated Pork Feet for my father-in-law as he's a big fan.I will come back for lunch next week to try their Noodles and Dumplings. So happy to find another Northern Chinese style eatery where I can try various new dishes.

Good spot for Chinese breakfast. Good service and price is affordable and they accept credit card a big plus. Can be crowded at times since there's only 6 tables.

I went back to try some different stuff! I got the chive pies and the hot, unsweetened soy milk. The chive pies were excellent. I hadn't had anything like them before; they have a pungent, almost garlicky quality to them that I very much enjoyed. The soy milk is different than American soy milk; it feels a bit richer and has a more bean-y taste. But in a good way! I couldn't stop drinking it. I'll definitely be back to try more things. :)

This place is great. Hidden gem. Have lots to choose from. I had the salted tofu and lamb skewers. Both was excellent! Definitely will be back.

Great spot for authentic Chinese breakfast! Warm soy milk, youtiao (donuts), doufunao (tofu brain) all very good. Affordable prices too. Service was very friendly. I like that it's a nice, quiet and simple spot. Will be my go-to spot for Chinese breakfast in Houston! They accept cash and Zelle; credit card is accepted but adds a 3% surcharge.

Was craving taiwanese breakfast and saw this place nearby! Its a small shop in the corner, simple w a good amount of tables. We got the hot soy milk and green onion pancake. Soy milk was nice and hot, super refreshing! The pancake had such good flavor, but i personally like it more flakey, this was more doughy. Overall would come back and visit again! I believe they take cash or zelle LOL

They have the best chinese burgers on Bellaire! Bun is soft and meat is tender. Prices are also so affordable.
