This restaurant is really good. If it comes to attitude, this will be 2 stars, but I don’t come to restaurant and judge attitude. As long as my food come out right and quick service, it’s okay for me. You know it’s a good restaurant when an asian boomer is the server, really mean demeanor, and you’re scared to ask her even a fork. Lol i am literally scared of her, but she brings out everything fast. I will comeback lol
This place is amazing. It’s run by a small family and the place may look a lil run down but the food is the best. Honestly no place can top the Cantonese Cuisine here. I go there every time I’m in town at least once. I highly recommend the crispy fish and the honey walnut shrimp!
Yuan ten is amazing! It’s been here for years, has always had some of the best Chinese barbecue and Cantonese food in the city.
I have been coming here since I was born. This place never fails. Almost everyone I bring here local or international always come back and cannot get enough of it. My grandma found this place and I was basically raised here GO-TO famous plates listed below: The chicken with Black Mushroom Fried fish with salt and pepper Spareribs Pepper beef Chinese broccoli Chicken with onion and ginger Peking Duck Bbq Pork Special chow mein (all of them are good) Special Tofu
Haven’t visited in over a decade since I no longer live in the SW Houston area but it was a last minute invite by my uncle that I did not want to let down - the trip was worth it. The food and service was just as good as I remember and the prices remain fair & reasonable considering so many others have gone up the past three years. The dishes we ordered were made with the same care and love as I remember and I don’t really know why some critics say the same thing but give this family owned business as hard time over their “ambiance” since to me, it’s been this way for as long as I remember and to me, the only thing that matters is the cleanliness and the quality of the food and service, and Yuan Ten checks all the important boxes. So if you want okay food at inflated prices but a “photo or post quality” atmosphere, go somewhere else. But….if good quality made food that reflects a mastery of traditional Chinese cuisine with friendly service and fair prices, then come visit Yuan Ten….you’ll be glad you did.
I recently visited a charming little Chinese spot, and it was a delightful experience! The staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel right at home. I ordered the black mushroom chicken, and it was absolutely banging—packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The cozy atmosphere paired with great service made it a memorable meal. If you’re looking for authentic Chinese food in a small setting, this place is a must-try!
Our new favorite Chinese restaurant! Cheap eats, tasty food, fast service. We each ordered wonton noodle soup with dumplings and added Peking duck, ginger chicken, BBQ pork on the side. Noodle soup was flavorful with or without the side meat dish. One thing I would change next time for the noodle dish is not request the dumplings as the 3 wontons were hearty enough without the extra dumplings. The fried salt and pepper squid dish was well seasoned and not rubbery. Snow pea leaves was refreshing and broke up the monotony. Will return next time for bao & Peking duck plus some of the recommended dishes (shrimp fried rice, shrimp stuffed stuffed eggplant).
Good Chinese food at very reasonable price for both dinner and lunch.
