Located in the Energy Corridor of West Houston near Katy TX, North China Chinese Restaurant has been voted by KHOU Channel 11 Houston as the "Best Chinese Restaurant in Houston". North China has been serving Mandarin style Chinese food in West Houston for 30 years and we're looking forward to serving the westside area for many years to come. We know there are tons of Chinese restaurants in Houston to choose from but you need to come see why North China is still voted the best Chinese food in Houston after 30 years.

We Chinese have an expression: "Chi fan le mei you", which literally means: "Have you eaten yet?" It is used universally as a greeting, just as one would ask in English, "How are you?" It is also a wish for one's health and happiness.
It is entirely appropriate phrase, since food to the Chinese culture has always meant much more than mere sustenance, and the process of the cultivating, selecting, cooking and consuming it are embedded into the world's oldest culture.

I did not like such a large Buddha statue right at the entrance. The wide variety of plants all the property was just so wonderful. Gold and red decorative and cultural motifs added elegance. Employees were nice and prompt; the chair and table comfortable. The ample, properly made and served cashew chicken was more than satisfactory.
I have had problems with Buddha statues since I read an article about how in one part of China, at one time, people committed slow suicide by eating very little for a long time then eventually entombed themselves within some unit such as a Buddha statue.

My favorite Chinese restaurant, not only because it’s good but also because they don’t put MSG.
Decent but I wouldn’t get again:
- Shredded pork
Nothing special but still good:
- Yuxiang eggplant
- Walnut shrimp: not the fried and sweet mayo-based one I wanted - but still yum (and love that they use Argentinian shrimp)
- String beans: wish it were roasted more, but crunchy, and love the zacai (pickled turnip) that comes with it
The best stuff on repeat:
- Best Hot & Sour soup I’ve had
- Good sizzling rice soup
- Sweet & Sour Pork
- Get the shredded beef and pepper (only on the

Tried North China Restaurant based on the high reviews. They were't lying. We've ordered half a dozen times now trying different dishes and haven't been disappointed. The Hot and Sour soup is some of the best I've had. (We get an extra for next-few-days leftovers.) If you like spicy (and I mean that) try the La Jiao Chicken or Beef. It has that perfect heat. A true gem of a restaurant.

Wow...Just wow! And I only ordered takeout! I can only imagine what it would be like to eat at this place.
Fred, your recommendations for the shrimp and chicken dishes were spot on. The flavors were incredible.
If you're reading this review, North China Restaurant is a place you will not regret going to. Ask for recommendations even though you have a go-to dish. They just might surprise you!
I will most definitely be returning to dine-in next time.

Not your average Chinese restaurant! I can't say enough about the quality of ingredients and depth of flavor from each of the dishes I've had here. This place is really next level. Simple authentic Chinese food yet beautifully presented with layers of depth in every bite.
I try to order something different everytime i visit, and after 2 years, i have yet to be disappointed. If you haven't been here yet, do not delay, it's some of the best Chinese food I've had outside of China and Taiwan!

Came here for lunch, we were attracted to the delicious smells from the food of people eating outside so we decided to try it. Service was good but kinda slow. They did appear to be training which made for some awkward exchanges but the food was very good. Shining star item was the chicken lettuce wraps. Not sure what they put in that chicken but it is addictive!!!
