Cheap Chinese Houston

If you love cheap Chinese food that still is high quality in taste, you’ve got to check out China Garden restaurant in Houston. Perfect for locals and travelers alike, this restaurant is a popular place for a dinner out (so popular, in fact, that the line is often out the door). While the food at this restaurant is amazing, their real stand out traits are the prices, which are typically under $14 for an entrée.

Conveniently Located

Located just across from Houston’s Toyota Convention Center—which hosts a number of events and concerts throughout the year—this restaurant is perfect for your pre-event dinner. If you head to China Garden on a night that Houston Rockets are playing, you’ll be pleased to see many other Rockets’ fans at the restaurant, and even pleasantly discover that there’s a special discounted menu offered on nights that the Rockets play. Point of the story: despite the fact that this restaurant is essentially located within a parking lot, the food is amazing, and you won’t miss your concert because you’re searching for a place to dine.

If you’re not in Houston for an event or concert, but downtown for business instead, this is also the perfect quick get-away for lunch or dinner.

The Perfect Amount of Food

In addition to this place offering exceptional food at an exceptional price, you’ll also be please by the portion sizes, which are just the perfect amount. Unlike other Chinese restaurants where you leave feeling way too stuffed and wondering how you’ll ever finish your leftovers, China Garden offers consumable portions that are still satisfying.

“Egg”-ceptional Eggrolls

While they may not be the most famous item at this Chinese restaurant, the eggrolls certainly make the top of the list. These eggrolls are large and thick, unlike their tiny counterparts. Simple but delicious, the eggrolls at China Garden may be some of the best you’ve ever had.

Delectable Dishes

After you sample your fair share of eggrolls, make sure you loosen your belt and prepare yourself for some other amazing food to chow down on. Try the pork and veggies, the hot and sour soup, the Mongolian beef, the lemon chicken, or the Hunan chicken.

Authentic, Not Americanized

Unfortunately, too many Chinese and other ethnic restaurants these days have lost their authentic feeling and have been replaced with food that is Americanized. At China Garden, you won’t find anything on the menu that isn’t the real McCoy. From the sweet and sour chicken to the fried rice, everything here is genuine and delightful.

A Few Tips

If you’re heading here before an activity at the Toyota Convention Center, making a reservation or getting there early is recommended so that you’re not stuck waiting for a table. This place is casual, so don’t worry about what you’re wearing, and it’s kid-friendly, so feel free to bring them. While delivery here isn’t an option, try their take out if you’re in a rush or prefer to eat at home. They also offer catering services.
