Far East Chinese Restaurant

nice and clean inside. food is tasty and well priced. all the neighbors visit the place because they know the food is good.

Not a bad little local place hidden on a side street. Very friendly staff and the food is fresh and good. A bit pricey for the portions but its good quality. They seem to have a long list of regular customers that flow in and out and they know quite a few of them by name. Always a great sign.

Really good and really fresh Chinese food! I was very impressed! Average on price though. I ended spending almost $ 50 for 3 items on what I thought was going to be cheap Chinese food.

Food is good but they took over 80 minutes to deliver on a Thursday when the order was called in at 6:20pm. I recommend eating in or picking it up yourself.

Friendly staff. Excruciatingly average food. I ordered the Garlic Chicken lunch special. The wonton soup was generic and the entrée very salty. If you’re in the neighborhood and want Chinese food I recommend Café Panda Garden on Fountain View.

The food here was pretty good and the service was really good. Everyone was nice and friendly. I came with six other people and everyone seemed to enjoy their food and cleaned their plates. I ordered the cashew chicken, which came with an egg roll and choice of wonton, egg drop, or hot and sour soup. I chose the wonton soup, which was okay but the egg drop and hot and sour looked better. You also had a choice of steamed rice, fried rice, or, for 30 cents extra, you could choose brown rice. I chose the brown rice and it was soft and fluffy. We went on a weekday for lunch and there was no wait and the place was quiet enough that our table was able to talk without having to yell at each other. Overall it was a good experience and I would come back if I’m in the area.

Great Chinese! I had the General Tso’s Chicken; not too sweet, not too spicy; real chicken breast. The Won Ton Soup was great. The egg rolls were not greasy and appear to be handmade. The lunch prices were fantastic. In and out for less than $ 10.

We picked Far East for dinner because my girlfriend had eaten food from there before, and they deliver. After looking through pictures and the menu on Unilocal,she decided on Orange Shrimp and fried rice, and I went with the Far East Shrimp.
We called them up to put in the order for delivery, and they tell us they don’t have delivery tonight — no big deal. We went to pick it up.
The orange shrimp was pretty tasty, but found a few pieces of the shrimp tail still attached.
My Chicken wasn’t nearly as spicy as I was hoping, and the sauce was a little thick, but tasted pretty good. The edges of the chicken were a little over done, but not terrible.
Overall, it was pretty decent, but definitely not my first choice when it comes to Chinese.

Husband and I love around the corner and walked to order carry out one night.
We both Had general Tso’s chicken dinner special:
Chicken wasn’t spicy at all but very delicious! We substituted fried rice which was also very good. Egg roll and cheese wanton that came with it were non-​description, but I dipped mine in the Gen Tso aside and that was delish! My egg drop soup & my husband’s hot and sour were both very tasty!
Overall, Id say this is one of the best chinese food meals we’ve had in Houston.
Note: this is it the authentic style Chinese food you go to Chinatown for; this is the type of Americanized Chinese that you miss from college.

We came here on a whim about endless arguing of what we wanted to eat for dinner and well the outcome was chinese. We ordered general tso’s chicken and garlic beef. I also added the hot & sour soup, eggroll and cheese puff to my dinner. The only think that was okay was the general tso’s chicken. Each plate was about 10.50, 3.50 was added on for the soup & appetizers. It turned out to be an expensive meal that wasn’t quite tasty.

Amazing lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, garlic chicken and fried cheese puffs. Once you order and give them your credit card number they keep it all on file, so it’s super convenient to keep ordering with them. Plus they’re super nice!

Nice mom and pop restaurant, the shrimp spicy and hot was pretty good. The hot and sour soup was just ok…

FOOD review! I love the food at this Far East Chinese. Their food seems to be of higher quality than other quick Chinese restaurants. Also, and I’m sure this is a mind trick, their food seems healthier than your normal Chinese restaurant as well. It does seem a little pricier than what we would like to spend at a place like this, but I’ll pay the few extra bucks for healthy/​good Chinese food!

Outstanding ‘Far East chicken.’ I stay in The Galleria area of Houston every time that I’m in town and make it a point to go here. It’s a little more expensive than your typical Chinese lunch, but you can still be out the door for around 10 bucks after tip.
Outstanding service, lightly breaded chicken (openly admit they don’t use much oil), soup brought out before meal, etc. I always ask for my food EXTREMELY hot and spicy… and while most places are afraid to accommodate, they had no problem doing so.
Will be back again this week!

Great Mongolian Beef, awesome Kung Pao Chicken. The food doesn’t seem to be laden with sugar or MSG so it’s «guilt-​free». I always get good and fast service. Prices are reasonable.
Their best dish: any type of lettuce wrap, best I’ve had!!!

First time trying this restaurant since moving into the area. We had the Mongolian shrimp, chicken, and beef combo; sweet and sour chicken; and egg drop soup. Substituted steamed rice for fried rice :). There isn’t a menu online, not one that we could find. We were using the prices on one of the old pictures. They have since changed. Out total was $ 30/​pick up. Beef was really good– juicy, tender, and seasoned nicely. There was an over kill of green onions though. May want to ask them to go easy on those. Egg drop soup could have been a tad thinner, and I got a few pieces of egg shell in the soup. All in all– decent food if you’re in a hurry! Order only took ten minutes!

Very bad and expensive. This is only two words I have for this restaurant. There are many other Chinese place to eat with better ambitions

Cute little Chinese restaurant that is tucked away on a tiny street heading into a residential area. Would have missed it if I didn’t live so close and drive down this particular street to get home a couple times a week.
The owners were really friendly and they helped us order some really good dinner options. Food was tasty, but nothing fancy or out of the ordinary from what you see on any Chinese restaurant menu.
When we found out that they deliver also, I could easily imagine calling them up on a lazy night at the house. Glad that we tried this place out!

We were really looking forward to going here for a real «hole in the wall gem» kinda place but were disappointed.
The Good
Egg rolls were pretty tasty
Hot & Sour soup was a good brothy soup (not like some places with the thickeners)
Shrimp used in the Scallops & Shrimp (#31 lunch special) is legit, not those tiny frozen ones
Brown rice is only 30 cents more
The Bad
The chicken in all of the dishes was dry
Most of the sauces were pretty lackluster (not much flavor)
Wontons in the wonton soup appear to be homemade
The Ugly
Their art on the wall had a very thick layer of black dust that made me cringe to think about it catching on a draft and whimsically floating over to my plate. That’s the real reason I can’t give more than 2 stars. The food was worth at least a 3, but hole in the wall or not, you have to have a clean environment.

I was so excited to find a Chinese restaurant so close to my new place! The reviews mentioned great things. The food however was not so great. Nothing I tried stood out and the egg drop was very bland. Regretfully, I will not be back to this place.
