Description

There's an old map of the Forbidden City on the wall of this Bellaire noodle house, and during lunch the eight picnic-style tables are always occupied by expats from the Chinese capital. Popular orders are the spaghetti-like Peking noodles, which come with a topping of cucumbers and a dark sweet pork sauce, and the hearty beef soup with wide noodles, which comes in spicy and unspicy versions. The oblong Peking-style fried dumplings may remind you of miniature hot dogs.

    Tucked into one of the endless strip centers of Bellaire Chinatown, this tiny cafe offers some delicious traditional Chinese fare. And what Xiong's lacks in size, it makes up for in dumplings. Steamed, boiled and pan-fried varieties are handmade, and show up at the table in generous portions. The spicy Szechuan dumplings and boiled pork-and-Chinese chive dumplings are fantastic and an excellent deal. Xiong's also has a number of tasty soups and noodle dishes and some outstanding green onion pancakes. For dessert, you could opt for the intriguing pumpkin cake or peek through the hole in the wall and order some bubble tea from the place next door.

    Go with the stone crab or the lobster if you're feeling spendy. So delicious, each and every time.

    I have had a lot of great evenings at Trulucks. I highly recommend it.
