This is absolutely the worst Chinese food I have ever had. Boy, where do I even start...1) As a "Dumpling" house, you would think there would have more than 5 dumpling options.2) The dumpling was probably the worst I've had-- really thick skins, filling was rock hard.3) It didn't have the right dumpling sauces-- no vinegar nor dumpling soy sauce.4) The vegetable casserole had a sour smell (we were certain the tofu went bad)5) The seafood pan-fried noodle used the wrong type of noodle: instead of thin egg noodles, they use wide dan-Dan style noodles which makes it soggy.6) The seafood pan-fried noodle was sour. We can't decide whether something went bad in there or the chef put too much vinegar. It wasn't edible.7) All dishes had the same dark brown burnt sauce, including the hot & sour soup.8) Worst of all, the server had bad attitude. He brought the wrong dumplings (we ordered steamed & he gave us fried). He argued with us about what we ordered and then eventually made the exchange. The casserole dish was 20minute later than everything else. When it finally came on, we got the vegetable version instead of seafood. We would have kept it if the tofu wasn't stinky. Asked the waiter if we can cancel the dish since nothing else was edible and the casserole took so long we just wanted to leave. He rolled his eyes & slammed the dish on the table & was ready for a showdown. My friend told him to just bring the seafood one.Such bad experience. Definitely the worst food I have tasted (and I have lived in 8 different states, 3 different continents & traveled all over the world). Would never come back & wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

You shouldn't expect much from the food here. It's not authentic. It's not particularly good. It's definitely not what most Yelpers consider to be a dumpling house. But if it's between 11am-4pm, you are craving some ridic cheap Americanized Chinese food -- and I know we all do once in a while -- this is the place to be. The lunch specials are insanely cheap for the amount of food you get, even if it's not that great. Just six bucks and some change can get you any single lunch special from the huge variety they have to offer which includes an entree, rice, eggroll and soup. It's just good ol' cheap, greasy ass food and I dig it.The service is outstanding for how cheap the food is and the place looks way classier than it should be. There are so many flipping condiments on the table, it's awesome. If doubting your foodie status while eating here, just take note of the huge cheesy-looking neon light dragon on the wall and laugh, it'll remind you time and time again to not take this place seriously and just freaking eat.

I go here about 2 or 3 times a year. Lately with agroupon. The dumplings are out of this world, if a tad small. The many different sauces and condiments make dipping an adventure. The rest of the menu is as you would expect: typical Chinese fare. I did try a chicken and beef casarole today though that made me sit up and smile. The service is prompt and the tea girl will swoop down on you - so if you like your tea left alone until completely empty, cover it. The restauatr is on the second florr and has a pretty view once you look past the Randall's parking lot. On a pretty day you can see for a long way. Overall, not bad. Best for dumplings.

This review is to support the previous diner who mentioned that this restaurant consistently gets to go orders wrong. I used to live a couple of blocks away and I learned to either dine in there (their food is acceptable to good) or get takeout elsewhere. I do think their service is good when you dine in. They must have a separate crew for the takeout as the service is totally indifferent and even uncaring.

Ah it was one of those drive around and randomly picking a restaurant for lunch days... and my friend and I picked this place bc of the sheer hilarity of the name. Sometimes you just crave "crappy" Chinese food aka American Chinese food aka "how not to cook Chinese food" aka MSG food. The decor of this place is like any typical Chinese crappy Chinese restaurant with a neon dragon sign that makes me feel like im in a thug life movie (holding machete's signing the young and dangerous song).The prices were relatively cheap and the portions where decent. The waiter was very courteous and helpful. We ordered the fried pork dumplings as appetizer. They were rather small but surprisingly tasteful. Now it's nowhere close to Bellaire food but pretty decent for its location. I got the lunch special of Hunan Chicken with the eggdrop soup. The soup was doable but didnt standout but then again how good can eggdrop soup be anyways... its egg in soup. The Hunan chicken comes with an veggie (ugh) eggroll which was pretty tasteless. The chicken tasted more sweet than it was spicy and not at all like all the Hunan chicken I've evervhad but that doesn't make it bad just different. You can tell it's filled with msg but what do you expect. I give them props though as the meat was very tender and not overcooked. Just not my style but I can see why some ppl might like this place. If I ever crave this style of food or dumplings I'd prob swing by if I was around the area.

This place is just ok. I don't know how else to cut it. The service is great, but the food is just medicore. When a place has the name of dumpling house you start to expect some delicious dumplings. But sadly, that is not the case here. The orange chicken I had was better than the dumplings, which had too thick of a dumpling skin, were served in metal steamers (always makes me sad when it isn't bamboo), and they didn't even have vinegar as a sauce option! Also got the honey walnut shrimp here, which was doused in the mayo sauce. Ugh. Ambiance is decent, but I wish they didn't seat us right next to the bathrooms in an otherwise almost empty restaraunt. Yuck.

Good for americanized-chinese food. For this place being called a "dumpling house" they have surprisingly little dumpling variety...just chicken, beef, shrimp and pork...either steamed or pan-fried. No doubt that they're handmade and yummy, but nothing to write home about. I'd rather head to Bellaire to get authentic, cheap chinese food, but this place will do when I don't want to make the drive.

Food is ok, not particularly authentic, but if you're a fan of Americanized Chinese food you could do worse.Prices are reasonable and portion size was decent.

I got attention on it since I came frequently to the Teahouse down-stair. So I decided to give them a try one day. Everything was great and met my expectation. I was only there for lunch so I had no idea how was about the rest of the menu. I did tried only with their lunch special menu and some dishes of dumpling.I love their lunch combo. The portion was very acceptable for Asian as me. I like the shrimp fried rice with lobster sauce comes with a hot & sour soup and veggie spring roll. The price is good too. Around $5 for your lunch meal. I always left there with pleasure !

I like this place. They are quick at delivery orders and I just tested out the online ordering (cross your fingers it works!) If you feel like eating at the actual restaurant, it's a nice place that's clean and convenient. If you're lazy like me, you eat in your pjs over the course of several days. This would also come highly recommended by me.The food is good (but note those little peppers next to nearly everything; they aren't kidding but if you tell them no spice, they'll cater to your/my wussiness). The selection is good and yep, it will come quickly and hot. If you're on a diet, they do a great job of giving you choices to eliminate sauces/put them on the side/fill you with nice veggies. If you're not, there's a wide array of food to guarantee you wake up weighing five pounds more the next day. Not that I know about that...And not a super fan of their crab puffs, but no one's impressing me lately on that front. I want a fat pocket of cream cheese goodness or whatever's in there and everyone send the mostly fried ones with a hint of that goodness. Ah well, there's enough calories in the rest of it to do me just fine.

I have been eating at Auntie Chang's for about 3 years now. The food is always great, and the prices are great too! They happily accomodate vegetable substitutions in any dish, which is important to me (I'm a picky eater). ...?

this was a nice place ot eat on a sunny afternoon- cute decor, nice ceiling effect with afbric and lights... too bad the food was not very good. the hot and sour soup was ...tasteless. neither of us ate it. the dumplings were tough and quite ...?

This is a ten---flavorful, fresh food at terrific prices. I've been twice now, once with my husband, and found the atmosphere charming and the waitstaff kind and attentive. The won ton soup included with the lunch specials for $5.95 (or ...?

My hunt for a really good Chinese dumpling next took me to Houston's two other restaurants with "dumpling" in the title: Dumpling King and Auntie Chang's Dumpling House.These two restaurants look very different. Dumpling King is in a ...?

This place is just a cheap chinese food w/ decent fare (at low prices). Do not go for the dumplings, as they are just average. I thought that a "dumpling house" would showcase dumplings. It does not. The service was good and the people ...?

I went for a late lunch, and there were three customers in the restaurant yet my meal took almost an hour. The food was disappointing, greasy and very salty. The dumplings were good with a good filling, but again were so greasy even though I ...?

I have been to Auntie changs about ten time over the past 5 years or so. Its never anything that really wows you but you can always get a table and its never to crowded. The food is decent, this is not a place that tries to have a fancy ...?

There's nothing to remember this place by: average decor, with no sign of Orientalia; no little pots of fresh tea and little cups on the table, average food. Service was excellent, but with so many great restaurants in town, it takes ...?

Don't be deceived and think that this house of dumplings actually offers good ones. I ordered the shrimp and the veggie (spinach) dumplings. The shrimp dumplings were totally bland, the dough way too thick, with a weird frozen shrimp ...?

My husband and I had only tried Auntie Chang's once before in our 7 years of marriage and I swore to never go back because the dumplings were so bad. Unfortunately I didn't stick to that because we decided to give it another try. ...?

we wanted to have some good dumplings and are still searching for such a place. we came here to try the dumplings, and they were not good. we also ordered entrees that were also not good, so we wont be coming back here ever. ...?

I ate 2 dumplings and then my gf noticed a hair in her rice. We told the waiter we would pay for our drinks (we had 2 sodas each). He went to tell the manager and brought us a new ticket with the sodas AND ONE PLATE OF DUMPLINGS! ...?

The sauces that come with the dumplings are fantastic, espeically the ginger garlic one. The dumplings alone were very good and the entrees were all excellent. The servings are generous and the price is SO amazingly cheap. ...?

I think this restaurant is having some trouble. We received a coupon to eat there which I thought was a pretty good marketing technique and we happily went there today to use it. We wouldn't have otherwise thought to go there. ...?

Once when I was six years old, and again when I was twenty-one. Any restaurant in Houston that can stay open that long without dramatically changing, moving, or closing is worth a trip. They serve good food and have great service, plus ...?

Great service from beginning to end. Very attentive staff! Food is always yummy. I can't say anything bad about this restuarant. They have the best Fried Rice, any flavor! ...?

I don't know what has happened to this place. I have been getting great delivery orders for years, but sadly things have changed. Recently I ordered orange chicken. What I got was kong pow chicken. When I called very politely the sales rep argued insistently that what I got was orange chicken. No matter there were no orange slices or orange flavor or orange anything. There were peanuts etc. She was extremely rude and wouldn't stop to let a word in edge wise. There was no resolution. I threw the food out. It was awful.?

Be sure to order a BIG bowl!

I like the steamed dumpling lunch special so much that I've never had anything else! 8 dumplings, soup and rice for $5.50 can't be beat. The service is excellent and you never lack for iced tea. A great place for lunch!

My favorite spot in Houston for lunch!
