So to be honest I came here once before and it was great but theres another Chinese place across the street and it happens to be next to a Cuban joint that I love and has huge pictures of the meals on the wall, so I havent been back here until today. It turns out the minimum delivery total of 10$ is all it took, since the other place, china express, is minimum 15$. Just wanted something simple so I figured what the hey, good enough. Egg drop soup for my wife who says its good, and I tried their beef fried rice and am going to town on it, wow it has so much flavor and I cant believe I havent given them another chance b4. Delivery was said to be 45 mins but it was 10, so I was pleasantly surprised when the door bell rang. Friendly delivery dude and I will 4sure be back!! Okay back the next day: Yesterday was so good Ive been thinking about it and back for more! I came in instead of delivery this time, I actually realized its free delivery anyway!! Thats pretty cool. Obviously tip well but its just nice to see they trust the customer to tip vs mandatory delivery fee. While Ive been here its hopping! Lots of people in the restaurant for a late lunch and people have been calling nonstop while I wait for them to make my food. The interior decor is certainly nicer than the china express across the street, and the staff here today have been very nice to me and I hear the way they talk to the other people in here and on the phone and they are just as nice to them. I think I may be converted here!! Ill try to include some pics!!

We tried this place tonight based on the reviews here... it was ok, but I really cant say better than that - basically the same quality I would expect from a chineese buffet, not a sit down restaurant. When we arrived my wife and I noticed a weird smell... not gross exactly but a little strange. Service was ok. Portions for some of the dishes we ordered were enormous, others not so much. They charge $1 extra for fried rice which basically was steamed rice with soy sauce and a tiny bit of egg. The sweet and sour sauce was extremely bland... I really hoped for something more against the bland pieces or battered chicken. Orange chicken had a nice sauce but was covered in such thick breadding it was tough to find any chicken in there, the same with the fried shrimp... again deja vu of a cheap buffet. The chicken curry seemed to have some kind of gravy that tasted vaguely of curry but more of thanksgiving gravy. The ice tea was so nasty it was undrinkable. Honestly for the same amount of money we could have gone to Pei Wei or Thai Spice and had better food.

Im amazed by the ratings here. After a high Google rating and a recommendation from friends we tried this place for lunch on a Sunday and were rather frustrated with the meal. Fried pork pot stickers? Better than average. My egg drop soup was incredibly thick and you could almost taste the corn starch. Drowned in soy sauce, it became passable. My wife said her eggroll was one of the best she ever had. I ordered the lemon chicken, which was cooked properly and crispy, but seemed to have a faint flavor of fish. My wifes sesame chicken was possibly the worst Chinese dish weve ever had. The sauce was thick and cloying and she said the batter on the chicken reminded her of a funnel cake. The appetizers showed promise, but we were ultimately let down on our entrees. Service was good, decor was minimal but nice. But it ultimately comes down to the meal. It reminded me of a buffet or possibly Panda Express food quality and we will not be returning in the future.

We found this little place online searching for Chinese restaurants in the Katy area near our home. As soon as you come in a waiter is eager to seat you and give you the service you deserve. I judge chinese places by how the Hot and Sour soup is, and found theirs to be great. I decided to order out of the norm and the dish I choose was wonderful, Four seasons I believe is the name of it. Even though this is no upscale restaurant, they try hard to please you with good food and serice, down to the garnish they place on each plate. It shows to me they care and it shows. I will be coming back for sure.

The BEST chinese delivery in Katy, TX. My wife, and I, have tried almost every other chinese delivery in Katy. This is the BEST. The Hot&Sour is choice. The Thai Chicken and Shrimp, Sar Char Lamb,, and Tsos are all super awesome. Do it. Order. Now......... By the way, China Express, across the street, is pretty god awful. Had what seemed to be a piece of black garbage bag in one of my meals. The people voting "1" star obviously prefer McDonalds to anything substantial.

Wow I give it one star why is because. I ordered some chicken fried rice and it was cold and bland,my spring rolls were cold as well, I ordered chicken wings and it was actually hot but they didnt even bother to seasoning on it,it was like as the just dropped it in oil? I order a fountain drink and taste bad taste like they didnt clean it. I will never come back again. The lady behind the counter was rude. I will not return.

I eat regularly at T-Jins. They have very good food. Plus waiting time is not too bad. They usually have the food out in 15 minutes or less. Also, Im not sure where, but theres some sort of certificate that they display behind their main counter that shows that theyve won some award for good food, which I wouldnt doubt for a second, because they do serve quality. i LOVE IT!

Ive never dined here, but when your workers are leaving menus, it would be nice for them to be considerate enough to NOT park illegally, in a handicapped parking spot, when he is CLEARLY NOT HANDICAPPED!!!! Silver car with plate that starts with.......FMG!!!! No matter how long you are ANYWHERE.......its against the law to park in a handicap spot, JUST bc its closer!!!

this place is amazing. the food is great and the prices are amazing, not to mention the portions sizes. this has been regular place for me and my friends for a long time. the service varies from time to time, but has generally been pretty good. if you feel in the mood for some asian food, skip the panda express and come here.

I have tried many Chinese Restaurants in the area and this one is my favorite. I usually get the General Tsos Chicken and the individual pieces are large, crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside with a great flavor. Also, they are very consistent. I get the same dish almost every time and it is always this good.

Sesame Chicken is perfect, has a orange flavor to it. Husband is particular about his General Tsaos and really liked it. Sweet and Sour Chicken is plenty for two, or more. Although you have to pay extra for steamed ($0.50) or fried rice ($1) the amount you get makes up for it. Will definitely order delivery again.
