Chinese Restaurant in Houston

China Gourmet Chinese Restaurant Review:


I have been going to China Gourmet (SI-FU-Lai) for almost 5 years. From the famous local snacks to the authentic full course meals, Si-Fu-Lai offers different variety of Taiwanese food. My favorite dish is the sizzling black pepper steak; this unique style cooking of steak was originally invented in Taiwan’s famous night market. For $5.75, you can have a plate of medium rare steak (about 8 to 10 oz), with the black pepper sauce poured on top. This plate also come with noodle or rice, one sunny side up egg, and baby corn or other vegetable. Si-Fu-Lai also provides sizzling fried chicken steak and pork chop, and they taste just as good. I also recommend the seafood toaster. This is very famous southern Taiwanese style chowder. The original name is called “mini-coffin” in Chinese, but now they have to rename it so customers would not be scared by the name. This creamy seafood chowder contains a lot of seafood and vegetable and soup is contained inside a fried toast box when ordered. Also one fried toast lid will be placed on top to close the fried toast box. Seafood toaster smells good and taste great with any dish you order. I recommend both dishes because the prices are fair and you can have either in less than 5 min after the order is placed.

Best of Chinatown Rating: 5.0 (scale of 1-5, 5 being excellent)
