Bring Me to Confucius - Houston, TX

Confucius Seafood Restaurant

            8880 Bellaire Blvd # J, Houston, TX 77036

 

I can't stop coming back to this place!! Service is super fast and the food is so good! The place is located next to a Fiesta Supermarket, so parking can be ugly sometime. Also, the restaurant is pretty small. The waiting area is basically by the door, so it makes it awkward when you're waiting for a table. Nevertheless, when you're finally seated, they serve you drink and quickly ask you what do you want to it. To some people, that might be a rude gesture, but you have to understand...there are 32 other people waiting for a table. So you better hurry up and order and eat fast! The first time we went here, we felt rushed. They have lots of food option, so we quickly scanned the menu and just ordered. We also looked at other tables to see what everyone else ordered. Almost at all the table was Lobster and Snow Pea Leas. You get such a good deal with Lobster! Yes, it is seasonal pricing, but not that expensive compared to other places. 

This is what I order:
            - Lobster with Black Pepper and Salt
            - Spare Ribs with Special Sauce
            - Snow Pea Leaves
            - Half Peking Duck
     I have tried:
            - Shrimp with Walnuts -- so delicious! I just love walnuts and nuts in general.
            - Lobster with XO sauce -- I also enjoy this, juicy and slimy (Hub does not like it)

Pros:

  - Fast Service

  - 5% discount if you pay Cash

  - Food is delicious

  - Food comes out fast

Cons:

  - Small tables

  - Long wait if you go during dinner hours

  - That one awkward table by the front door..

10/10 would recommend this place to a friend. Also, 10/10 would take a friend here.
