“ Came by here for a quick lunch between work. Kinda feels like a hole in the wall, not many tables to sit at. Order at register and they prepare your plate. Parking can be limited during busy hours so be cautious of that. Now the bbq...is something special. Forget how affordable and how value you get, the duck itself was so juicy and crispy. I'll be back to try the rest for sure! ”
“ Food One of the best Chinese BBQ in Houston. The meat is flavorful and tender. Traditional Chinese Vietnamese Roast Duck and Pork. The phoenix Chicken is a mouthful of flavor. ”
“ TLDR - probably the only Chinese bbq place inside the loop. Still your best bet unless you wanna go to Chinatown. Food still good, but not the same as in the past. Been coming to Siu lap city for a few years now. We're getting older so we try not to overindulge in Chinese bbq especially the char Siu and roast pork, but when we want it this is where we go when we don't want to drive all the way to Chinatown. The place is situated in a strip with predominantly Asian businesses. There's plenty of parking on the parking lot and parking garage. It's a simple set up inside. You see the bbq meats hanging with a few side options. They have the prices listed on the wall and you order on the counter. Service in the past has been fine, although recently I noticed it's different people at the counter. We ordered the roast pork, bok choy and some salt pepper shrimp just to add some variety.. The pork was good, although some dry pieces here and there - definitely didn't have this issue before. The bok choy was ok. The salt pepper shrimp was flavorful but a little too greasy for me - still edible though as we finished it all! We didn't try the char shui, duck or any orher meat but I'm afraid that the rumor of the change of ownership might be true just based on our most recent visit. Overall I am a little sad about the noticeable change in quality, although it probably won't stop me from coming back for convenience.Still nice to have a Chinese bbq place in midtown, just wish the old owners would take it over again. ”
