This large and very busy restaurant serves some of the very best Chinese food in Houston, at some of the most reasonable prices.  BYOB, and there is a liquor store right next door to make that easy! Over 170 dishes on the menu, and many that I have not seen on other menus: a good excuse to return often.  On a recent Saturday night, the restaurant was packed and many families enjoyed large round lazy-Suzan tables laden with a variety of dishes.
