The food was exceptional. Great pricing and the staff very friendly. The Jampong was probably one of the best we ever had. The menu is very varietal with a mixture of Chinese and Korean cuisine but it tastes very authentic. The kimchi is superb 👌 Highly recommended!

Service is amazing from start to finish. I had the Beijing fish, my partner had the Beijing pork. Both options were delicious! Paired w/steamed rice. Pleasantly suprised, so good. ❤️

Wonderful! The lunch was superb, with highlights including Fish Buns, Sizzling Rice Soup, Shrimp with walnut sauce, Zhajlang Mian over wheat noodles, and Pong Kai Beef. The service was also impressive.

It was my first time coming here for lunch. I got the pan fried potstickers and the lunch portion of tso chicken that came with rice and potatoes and a kimchi slaw . It was sooooo goood . The potstickers had great flavor and the chicken potatoes and rice was delicious . Everyone here was so nice from host stand to server. Multiple serves reached out to assist me during my visit checking in and making sure I was okay and I really appreciated that. Will be coming back wish I took pictures but I was in the zone eating 😂

The sesame chicken is some of the best I have had anywhere. It is delicious and crispy! I also think the service was excellent--I met the owner when he brought out my food and was as nice as could be. Will certainly be coming back next time I'm in town for work. Great for families too--highly recommend

We stopped in the eat here . And let me tell you as soon as we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff. We sat at the bar and manager was so amazing ! We told him it was our first time and he literally gave us so many different options to try from! Everything was amazing and the portions were worth every penny ! Do yourself a favor and check this place out ! 10 out of ten !

Came here for our New Years tradition of getting Chinese food and it was our first time. Service was top notch. It was quick and our glasses were always full. My husband ordered the Colonel Tsos Chicken and it was a 10/10! Had the best sauce glaze and you can tell it was fresh. Their egg rolls are also highly recommended. Will be coming back here.

We had a change of plans for Christmas dinner and went hunting for the perfect alternative. I stumbled upon this gem buried beneath some better reviewed places. The standout was the owner responding and trying to improve. Always a standout for me. The experience was great. It was my wife and I, seated very quick. It was fairly busy and buzzing which is always a good sign. Our server Susie was super nice, very attentive and helpful. It’s decent sized but can imagine it gets full quick. The food was great. We tried a lot of different things. The lettuce wraps and egg rolls are absolutely worth trying and could be meal. They have several dinner options with many favorites. Their lunch specials seem worth coming back for too. Overall, I am very grateful to have stumbled upon that place. It lived up to the reviews. Shocking how many recent, poor reviews the other restaurants reviewed ahead of this one there are.

Ate here on Christmas day. The staff are very nice and extremely quick, which I like! Food was very good. Plenty of a quality meat and very flavorful sauces. I went here a couple years ago and they stepped up their game significantly! *Arnold accent* "I'll be back."

Food was good! Some specialty dishes here not found elsewhere. Tried the sizzling rice soup, refreshing! And the Beijing beef was tender and savory. Would come back again for sure to try out other dishes.

Delicious and fresh food. Probably would be even better to dine in. Best egg-roll ever.

There is no excuse to eat anywhere but here!!! The service, the people, the food, the atmosphere- are all IMPECCABLE. The servers are always so welcoming and kind. The food is delicious and hot, with an amazing fusion style you simply cannot find anywhere else in the US.

We stopped here for lunch after shopping in Memorial City. As someone who grew up in Oakland eating authentic Chinese food, I appreciate this reataurant's authenticity. Sizzling rice soup is hard to find and they have a really good one. Everything tasted fresh and was piping hot. Cocktails were tasty too. Will definitely be back.

North China is a great spot! The food is delicious, the restaurant has a nice and inviting atmosphere, and the service is solid. It’s in a great location right off of I-10, which makes it super convenient. I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back soon.

I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! If you’re craving authentic Chinese food, this is the place to be. The chicken fried rice is my absolute favorite, and I can’t resist the orange chicken either! Everything I’ve tried has been incredible. The staff is so friendly and welcoming—they remember our order every time we come in! Honestly, this is the best Chinese food I've ever had. Plus, the service is super quick, and the atmosphere is calm and cozy, never too crowded. This restaurant has definitely become one of my go-to spots!

We checked out North China after some friends raved about it, and wow, they weren’t kidding—it was fantastic! From the second we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome. They were super friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right without hovering. You could tell they genuinely cared, which made the whole experience even better. We tried the San Dong Tofu, the Pong Lai Beef, and the crab puffs. Let me tell you, the flavors were on point. The tofu had this perfect texture and was loaded with flavor, and the beef was crispy and tasty. Every bite was a winner—honestly, it was hard to pick a favorite between the two. The atmosphere was great too. It felt cozy and inviting, the kind of place where you can just relax and enjoy a good meal without any fuss. Whether you’re going out with family, catching up with friends, or even just craving a solid dinner, this place has you covered. Bottom line: North China is def worth the visit. Great food, awesome service, and a chill vibe. We’re already planning our next trip back to try more dishes. Highly recommend!

Have been driving by this place for many years. Stopped to eat here 2 weeks ago, now back again. Excellent food, fresh and flavorful! We had Beijing beef, sizzling rice with chicken, steamed fish and House lo mein with chicken and shrimp. Could not be happier. This will be our go to Chinese. Very reasonable prices too!!

This is now my FAVORITE Chinese restaurant in the Houston area! We had Egg Drop Soup with Crispy Noodles. The soup came out piping hot but was edible using the crisps. We had Colonel Tsao's Chicken (House Special), Beef with Chinese Broccoli, and Chicken with Cashews. Each dish was fantastic! The bathroom sink was very unique and the natural log bench out front was fun. This restaurant is off of I-10 (Energy Corridor) and I would definitely recommend!

Extraordinary, exemplary, exceeds expectation!!! 20/10 for sure. This establishment does not disappoint!!!! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a fine specimen of a man who was very polite and informative. The service was incredible. The food was delicious and portions were large. The prices were more than fair. Would recommend this place to anyone. Very Impressed!

We're snowbirds from Minneapolis that wanted to try a Chinese restaurant while staying in the Energy Corridor area. This place was excellent!!! I already kind of knew what I wanted to try but our waitperson also helped us by confirming my choices were sound. He was very attentive and the food was absolutely delicious!!! We ordered "House Fried Rice" and "Gan Sho Shrimp" and I can honestly say it was some of the best Chinese food I've had since I was worked in Taiwan several years ago. We also really liked how everything was served "home style" (separate plates for us to serve ourselves from the main dishes).

We have been regular customers here for a couple years. Their food is always amazing especially egg drop soup, sizzling rice soup and our favorite “Lajiao chicken”. The service is also excellent, very nice people here. The restaurant is very nice and clean. Highly recommended :)

Awesome Chinese food restaurant off I10! Staff and family is always friendly and fast service. Dining in is always a wonderful experience. Our family set has been going here for decades, even across location changes, and has maintained its reputation for great food! Thank you for serving our family at both big or small gatherings for a great meal!

Service was fantastic, super friendly and they make you feel important. The food was also great. We ordered Cashew Chicken, Lo Mein and Fried rice. All were fantastic, chicken was tender, noodles perfect and the fried rice is some the best I've had. Only issue was the egg-roll which accompanied the meal, our dinner would have been better off without them. All-in-all, the dinner was very good and I will go back again.

We ordered way too much food, but we really liked the atmosphere, the service and interactions with the servers were all excellent. we are Korean so def wanted to try to 짜장면 and 짬뽕 which were a bit different but fresh. Didn’t realize we could have had our 짬뽕 spicier. Will do that next time. The noodle dish portions are huge. The other dishes we had were mapo tofu, spicy japchae with the buns, spicy gan sho shrimp, beef omrice, sweet and sour pork, and orange chicken. See pics.

After watching the glowing piece on "Eat Like A Local," let's just say I was underwhelmed. Although the restaurant decor was nice enough and staff members were attentive, I was disappointed in the food quality and flavor. First, I don't recall ever having a white egg drop soup (they have always been yellow) or one so scorching hot yet with such minimal flavor; the crab puffs were chewy and were served with an odd unidentified brown sauce that was neither tangy nor sweet; and my Hunan Chicken not only lacked the expected zing but the napa was literally too tough to chew. As a result, I don't really see myself coming back for a second visit because the food is the most important thing and they don't seem to be paying attention to that. Ditto for the bathrooms.

Stopped here on our way of town because I was craving Chinese and sadly was disappointed. The man who answered the phone was nice and the food amount was good but $25 for a shrimp beef fried rice and 2 eggrolls is excessive. Especially when the rice and eggrolls both lack flavor. I’m not a fan of soy sauce and don’t think that should be required to have good fried rice but hey that’s just me. I wouldn’t come back an it’s disappointing because the portion size almost made up for the lack of taste but when you’re paying almost $30 for 2 items, its hard to look the other way especially when the flavor isn’t there.
