The Flying Dumpling

Sandra Santhosh

I loved this food so much!! I came here after my freshman orientation at UH and got the dark mixed fried rice and pan fried chicken dumplings. They were so delicious omg the fried rice was perfectly cooked and the dumplings were so hot and juciy and the sauce that came with it was perfect. I think however I would try the pork dumplings instead since to me the chicken ones were a bit plain for my liking. Overall a great place to eat and I will be coming here more often!!

Edit: added pork Bao and house special Small place; one person in the front taking orders and the kitchen on the back. Got dark special fried rice. I’d give the portion 4/5 but the flavor 3/5. It’s okay at best. Tried the pork Bao. Texture and flavor 4/5. Only thing I don’t like is that the air pocket in the bao is too much. Dough is springy with good pullback after pressing. Pork has decent flavor. House special fried rice texture is 4/5 and flavor 5/5. Sauce is sweet, tangy, and a hint of umami. Lightly spicy and juicy chicken. Exterior is lightly crispy. Egg rolls are also delicious. My friend had the Hunan Chicken and he said it’s a bit more spicier Overall 4/5. Would I go back with family/friends? Yes if they recommend it. A bit pricey though.

Came here with my husband to get some dinner before a Rockets game. The food was alright but in my opinion a little overpriced and we waited a long time for our food to come out. There isn't seating in the restaurant so you have to take your food to-go. I got the egg drop and the chicken lo mein. The egg drop soup was pretty good but the lo mein had a lot of oil. My husband got the orange chicken and said it was okay but the sauce was artificial tasting.
