We tried this one after my son was looking fot somewhere he could eat with his no fried food diet.
We ended in this small - yet cute and delicious restaurant. We got two types.of dumplings. The ones with the fried bottom sooo very good. The duck was very good, crispy, and a big chunky good serving - not greasy at all. I got green beans because i just cant eat a meal with no veggies and they were soo good. My son who NEVER eats green beans ate them!
Service was on point! Would definetely visit again
A satisfying place to get good soup dumplings and other Taiwan and Chinese dishes. It’s pricey, but not as much as certain name brand locations with soup dumplings, and the portion sizes are good. If you get dumplings, definitely do both pork and shrimp, it’s worth the up charge compared to just the pork. Definitely the most broth heavy dumplings I’ve had! The pork belly is definitely a must try, and the service is very very nice and pays close attention to what you need. Good place to try soup dumplings if you’ve never had and don’t want to break the bank!
We loved the food here. There was a bit of trouble with the language barrier but they were understanding and it worked out well. We were the only Caucasian people there, which to me means we're getting authentic food. The food is some of the best I've had. The soup dumplings are amazing and the crispy duck was fantastic!! Would go here often if we lived in the area.
Food...so good. Service...very curt. Soup dumplings have a ton of soup (though I wish it had more filling), noodle soups are flavorful and cooked well, but the star on our table was the pan fried baos. It's incredibly difficult to find a place with juicy baos that are still crispy at the bottom but also not too thick - these were perfect. Deal with the service so you can experience authentic delicious Shanghai food.
A small restaurant which will be easily missed if you walk fast. The staff was friendly and service was fast. Food was served fast. I ordered the xiao long bao, noodles mixed with onions and in-house sauce (F07), noodles with ground pork and soy sauce (F05), sweet and sour chicken, and sweet red bean pie. The xiao long bao was one of the best I had in Houston. Highly recommend it. The skin was thin and the broth inside was flavorful. Yum! Both noodles dishes was so-so. Nothing to shout out about. The sweet and sour chicken had good sauce. I was surprised to not see any bell peppers on the dish. The sweet red bean pie was delicious. Red bean was filled up in the crispy dough. Definitely a must eat!
Okay, I’m going to say it - this is one of my favorite places in Houston to eat. One dragon is a no-frills shop run by some of the nicest wait staff around. They are very courteous and efficient and their recommendations are great. Now on to the food - it’s amazing. The sweet and sour pork spare ribs brought me back to my childhood when my mom would cook me the same meal on special occasions. The xiao long bao is equally delicious, with just the right amount of soup inside the dumpling and unbelievably thin (but robust) dumpling skin. All dishes were perfectly portioned and seasoned well. One dragon is a must-try if you’re in Houston!
Everything at One Dragon Restaurant was amazing. We ate every single bite of the chili ginger tilapia and scallion pancakes. I loved the soup dumplings so much that I had to order seconds. I have always been a fan of steamed dumplings but had never tried soup dumplings before. They are my new favorite and got expert advice on how to eat them so I won't waste any of the delicious broth.
Fantastic place to eat! First off the restaurant was tucked away in a strip center full of people what seemed to be authentic asian restaurants, so we had high hopes. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered the braised pork belly which was amazing. We also got the Xiao long bao (pork soup dumpling) and the pork pan fried buns. Both were very good. Although you could tell everything was handmade and authentic, they were a bit pricey (6 for $9) and we found ourselves wanting more. But overall very good and great experience.
If you come in a group of four or more, it is very likely you have to wait for a while.
Reservation is only limited to off-peak hour.
One of the best Shanghai restaurants in town. I really want to try everything on their menu.
We ordered Shengjianbao and xiaolongbao. Both are Quite authentic interns texture and rich amount of juice. Xiaolongbao skin is very thin. Shengjianbao has a fried crispy bottom which is also good.
My only comment is the lack of pinch of sweet and soya which is quintessential in original Shanghai flavor.
Anyways kudos to the owner who is able to introduce Shanghai food in Houston.
Service-wise is fast and attentive, no complaints
