Chef Chan's - Chef Chan's restaurant is authentic Chinese at its finest. For more than 25 years Chef Chan's restaurant has served the north Houston area.

The restaurant was founded by a 4-star New York chef, the cuisine is authentic and unique. The menu includes some typical Chinese selections as Shrimp Toast, Crab Cheese Puffs but items such as their Chicken Soong is a specialty. Step away from the traditional buffet and enter a real Chinese atmosphere. The steamed dumplings are one of a kind and the best in Houston.

Cafe Chino - When I am working inside the loop and hungry for great chinese food, this is my choice. Tucked away on a side parking lot in the Rice Village, Cafe Chino's is one of my favorite chinese restaurants.

Their General Tso's is fantastic. I also like their Walnut Chicken. Spring rolls, soups, all have been delicious.

It is moderately priced.

Bing's Asian Bistro - OMG! This place has great food! Located on FM 1097 on the north side of the main part of Lake Conroe, this is worth the drive if you are in the area. Coming back from Dallas on I-45??? Turn right (West) on 1097 in Willis and drive 4.4 miles. (On the left in the strip mall right after the first small bridge over the lake.)

Try their Crispy Honey covered Shrimp or their Asparagus Beef dinner. The Hot and Sour soup for two feeds four! Everything I have had there is delicious.

I live on Lake Conroe and this is the best restaurant to open in this area in a long while.

Shanghai River Chinese Restaurant - 2407 Westheimer - River Oaks

Szechwan Garden - When I am in the Clear Lake/League City area, I try to get by Szechwan Garden on 518 (Main Street) in League City. Between I 45 and Hwy 3, this neighborhood Chinese restaurant is a winner.

Great soups. I recommend them all. Their Beef and Broccoli in garlic sauce is one of my favorites along with their General Tso. Family owned and operated, the locals love this place.

P.F. Changs - Great food and atmosphere
