Tiger Noodle House 21977, Katy Fwy, Katy, TX 77450 They had really good reviews on Yelp, so I knew I had to try it. If you're a spicy lover, this place is for YOU! We ordered: Honeydew Drink - BOMBBBB. Tasted so fresh. Highly recommend. Spicy Beef with Cumin - good, but SO MUCH Cumin. You have to eat it with rice. lol Mapo Tofu - unforntely, wasn't a huge fan. I ordered the homemade tofu, but they ran out so they offered this to us. Just boiled tofu in soup. Was a bit plain tasting. Pork XiaoLong Bao - was really good. The skin gets stuck to your teeth tho. Spicy Wonton - Wasn't spicy. (Yay--not a huge fan of spicy food) Taste Amazing. Tiger Fried Noodle - Different from any noodle I had. I can't seem to describe the taste..Taste good tho. General Tso's Chicken - this was on the house! Our waiter was really cool and gave us free food! Seems to be everyone's favorite dish. Basically, sweet, juicy chicken. Yum! Don't think I'...

Every-Bellies 16918 Farm to Market 2920, Tomball, TX 77377 We found this place on Google maps on the local eats. This place is located out in the middle of nowhere in Tomball. As we were driving down this road, we noticed more local restaurants and shacks! Definitely will need to come back to this side of town. This place closed at 8:00PM. I know, I know you guys are wondering why so early? My thoughts exactly...It's because they're a little shack. Sitting area is outside. So far, this is the only place that serves just potatoes in Houston. I lived in a small town, so we had Potato Shack. And I would always tell people that they had the best potatoes every! THAT'S NOT TRUE ANYMORE! I believe I found the best DAMN potato in this area. I ordered the Frito Pie because I'm obsessed with chili and chips. Definitely made the right choice. So delicious! The amount of chili that goes into your mouth is heaven. Then you get that crunch kick when you chew. Perfect ...

Burgerim 9945 Barker Cypress Rd #129, Cypress, TX 77433 First of all, I really like the idea of customizing your own baby sliders. Second of all, they advertised to be Israeli-based burger style. Sounds cool, right? Well...let's get to the ugly stuff: 1. You get the option of bun type -- white or wheat. Then you proceed with picking your patty type. They have all sorts of meat. After that, you choose your toppings for EXTRA 50 cent. The only thing that it comes with are lettuce, onions, and tomato. My hubby was not happy with this. He wanted to replace the onions with GRILLED onions, and that was an additional 50 cent PER SLIDERS. 2. We were going to order the party pack (comes with 16 sliders) for $45. BUT, it did not include drinks or sides. What a bummer. So we all ordered the duo or trio because it came with one side and a drink for $10. 3. When we received our food, it came in little boxes that looked like Mickyd's chicken nuggets 20 piece. hehe Cute,...

Sushi Shiga 7014 Fry Rd, Cypress, TX 77433 All you can eat sushi . HOW GREAT IS THAT? We got there around 7:00PM and the place was empty...So we were questioning if this place was even good. It received a 4 out of 5 on Yelp. Anyways, all you can eat dinner was $25.99 per person. So, not bad.  This is what we ordered: Seaweed Salad - it was good. They served  it with shredded cucumbers on the bottom. I'm guessing giving it the illusion that there is a lot of seaweed.  Chicken Wings - was okay. They drizzle sweet sauce no top. The wings weren't seasoned; needed salt. PLAIN. Shrimp Tempura - super flakey. I am not a huge fan of this, but my husband said he enjoyed it. "This is how a shrimp tempura should be like." whatevv Salmon Hand Roll - delicious. I was expecting cubed salmon, but they were sushi cut salmon. Which is fine with me.  Tuna Hand Roll - I didn't try it, but my hubs did. He enjoyed it. Very filling tho. Salmon Sashimi - YUCK. Do n...

The Shack Burger Resort 16602 Cypress Rosehill Rd, Cypress, TX 77429 Well, well, well. It's a hidden burger place in Cypress. This place is where I want to bring my friends and kids to hang out. The name says it all. "Shack" No A/C. Tables are outside and they have a small playground for the kids. So, if you're afraid of bugs or the heat, then this place is not for you. They have parking at the front and back of the place on gravel. You walk to the front and place your order at the counter. Then you proceed to find a table. We first decided to sit at the high top table outside, but my husband was eaten alive by mosquitoes. He even started to develop some rash. haha. Then ants were crawling on me. SOOOOO We opted to go 'inside.' Still outside, but it was covered and had fans. I ordered the Funshroom Burger. It was just beef, sauteed mushrooms, swiss cheese, and lettuce. The burger was DELICIOUS! And I don't eat burgers that often. Probably o...

Anothai Cuisine 25282 Northwest Fwy #150, Cypress, TX 77429 This was our 2nd attempt to try this place. The first time we try to come here, the owner were just walking into the building...30 minutes pass open time...-.- Luckly, we decided to give them another try. And yes, they were open on time! If you ever visit a Thai restaurant, you have to get the Thai tea, right? RIGHT. So, we ordered two! The thai teas were extra sweet. Not my cup of tea. I like my thai tea to be balance of tea and sweetness. So, I didn't enjoy this one. Husband ordered the Pad Thai - beef. It was delicious. Had so much flavor. I really like how they put the spicy sauce on the side in case you don't want it to be spicy. I would order this for myself next time. I ordered the Yellow Curry - Chicken. It was alright. Lacking flavor. Didn't have the curry kick to it. I was disappointed. Plus, the potatoes were still hard! Blah. Will not order again. Would I come back here? Prob...

Blackwater Draw Brewing Co 303 Boyett St, CollegeStation, TX 77840 We came here on a Sunday for brunch. Their brunch menu was limited, which can be good to get people in and out. I ordered The Butcher. It came with with eggs, fries, bread, and variety of meat. The fries were bomb. They were potato squares. Super crispy and crunchy. Everything else was okay. Nothing too special about the bacon, patty, and sausage. Taste like frozen meat put in the microwave. Would I get it again? No. The Butcher Bacon, pork patty, smoked sausage link, and 2 fried eggs with home fries. Served with choice of bread. Texas Ranger Giant breakfast taco stuffed with chorizo, bacon, scrambled eggs, jalapenos, onions, and bell peppers. Topped with shredded cheese and fresh pico de gallo.  My husband got the Texas Ranger. He said it was OK. Not a huge fan of "giant tacos." Should've just been a burrito. Would he get it again? No. I can'...

Breakfast Brunch Cafe 9955 Barker Cypress Road Suite 110, Cypress, TX 77433 On Easter morning, we went to the earliest mass time, so we were able to beat the brunch crowd. We arrived around 8:30AM and there was already a few people there. We were seated right away. YAY. We opened the menu and realized this breakfast place was quite expensive! Luckily, we were in our Sunday’s best, so we felt like we deserved this expensive breakfast. First, we ordered our drinks. I ordered the Caramel Latte. The husband ordered the Dirty Chai Latte, BUT THEY RAN OUT OF CHAI!!! So, he ordered the Salted Caramel Latte. And guess what….they ran out of little plates for the cups! HOW? Second, we ordered our food. I got the Buttermilk Pancake ($11.00). It comes with two homemade buttermilk pancakes served with two slices of thick cut bacon and two over easy eggs. The bacons were indeed THICK. The first piece I ate was delicious. Had the crunch taste to it! The second piece was BLAH! Drie...

Bubble Tea House 1560 Eldridge Pkwy #162, Houston, TX 77077 Why don’t we have a place like this in Cypress?? Variety of teas, smoothies, slushies, and even fresh juices! They even have food!  I ordered the Sea Salt Black Tea with Lychee Jelly.  My brother and husband ordered the Vietnamese Coffee and Lychee with Lychee, Mango, and Apply Jelly. They also ordered the Mild Popcorn Chicken. The drinks itself were good! Really good! Not too sweet and not too plain! Just how I like my drinks :) The popcorn chicken was a bit spicy. Didn’t think mild would be that spicy!  Overall, I would definitely come back to this place! Very nice atmosphere to hang out with friends or just chill. Plus, they have comfy seats!

Golden Dumpling House 9896 Bellaire Blvd, Houston, TX 77036 Where do I begin? This place is amazing!  1. Cheap 2. Homemade 3. Those little dumplings feel up your tummy 4. Menu is Simple Every time we come here, we only spend about $12 - $15 for TWO PEOPLE! Say what?!!? The amount of dumplings per dish is crazy. Usually it comes in 10 or 18 dumplings. How many dumplings can you eat?! Twenty for me...haha. Don't judge.  When you get your dish, ALL the dumplings are flaming hot. I just want to devour them all when they hit the table. We had wait a couple of minutes for them to cool off.  In the corner of the restaurant, there is a station where you can get your own sauce. They have Soy Sauce, Vinegar, and Soy Sauce with Vinegar. I just stuck with the basic soy sauce. You can also add some chili oil and grab a small soup bowl if you want.  Bun with Pork and Shrimp Mix The lady told us this was the soup dumpling, but I think she's wrong. Because t...

The Melt 10111 Louetta Rd Suite 800, Houston, TX 77070 Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. This place is not some ordinary cafe. They specialized in CHEESE.  We knew we had to go try it! Because I love cheese and farts.   "WIPE THAT CHEESY GRIN ON YOUR FACE" Mac Daddy Grilled Cheese I had to get it. And of course because of the name. I love me some Big Macs from MickyD's. And this one is the Mac Daddy. To be honest, it was meh. I love the texture of the bread, was crunchy. I didn't like the inside. The sides of the mac and cheese were a bit dry and it was cheesy enough. Bacon was alright, and I didn't taste the onions. THE FRIES THO! They were bombdigity. Thin and crispy. Just how I like it. Pickles were an added bonus. I love me some pickles. Big, small, wide, slice, halves. Love it all.  Steak & Cheese Grilled Cheese Delicious. Tasted like a Philly cheese sandwich, but with a crunch.  Cookies & Cream Milkshake ...
