Grand Cafe Chinese Restaurant

Houston, TX 77036
Tele: 713-779-8889
(Located in Diho Square)

ChinatownConnection Editorial Profile
The Scene
On the outside, Grand Cafe might not seem much. But once you walk into this restaurant, this cozy small restaurant will grab your attention. The colored lights hanging down the ceiling is a very nice touch along with the wall accent lights. The chairs are elegant, however, the tables don't match quite as well.

The Food
You get the traditional Chinese dishes here along with a few Chef specials.

Heads Up
Located on the outer edge of Diho Square, parking on the weekends can be hard to find.

The Scene
A taste of Japanese interior deco complements the incredible Japanese food served here. There aren't many Japanese restaurants located in Chinatown. Hokkaido's presence brings a new face to the Asian scene.

Houston Chinese and Asian Restaurant Review


Jungle Cafe & Pâtisserie
9110 Bellaire Blvd, Suite A
Houston, TX 77036
Tele: 713-272-6633


ChinatownConnection Editorial Profile
The Scene
A very trendy place where people hang out, Jungle Cafe caters to everyone who loves bubble tea and pastries. The interior deco is perfectly blended in with a modern/fusion theme. The cakes and pastries next to the cashier will catch everyone's attention.

The Food
This is not a place to have a meal. It is a place to drink tapioca tea, smoothie, or coffee. It is a place to eat deliciously baked pastries. It is a place to buy artfully crafted cakes for all occasions such as weddings and birthdays.

Heads Up
Jungle Cafe is located in Diho Square next to AllCare Medical Center. This is a great place to hang out with friends or bring a date.

King Bo II Chinese Restaurant

Spacious interior, modern design, and southwestern exterior deco all describe King Bo Restaurant. When you walk in, you will notice glass pane wall and a "kitchen island". There are also plenty of seating for large groups of people.

Tay Do Chinese and Vietnamese Restaurant
2529 Hwy. 6 South
Houston, TX 77082
Tele: 281-584-0097

The Scene:
Tay Do Restaurant is very elegantly designed. The lighting coming down from the extravagant chandeliers will catch your eyes immediately. The use of columns, indigenous faux plants, and must I say again, the lighting is just perfect. These items blend in with the entire restaurant's soothing atmosphere. On one side of the restaurant walls, you will notice a Chinese word and two dragons. This restaurant is also used after a wedding for a big dinner.

The Food:
Tay Do offers exquisite Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. Immigrating from China to Viet Nam, and finally to the U.S. in 1979, the Tran family have carefully refined their recipes to meet the expectations and tastes of its many guests. Traditional recipes brought from their home land are prepared with the freshest and finest quality ingredients. There are plenty of dishes to choose from including their famous Maine Lobster (stir fried in black pepper with bell pepper & onions) and Vietnamese egg rolls. Their clay pot (special rice risoto topped w/ chicken, chinese sausage, onion, and lilyflower) is also a customer favorite.

Heads up:
Tay Do also has lunch special from 10:30am to 3pm. It comes with the main dish, egg roll, fried rice, and a choice of egg drop, wonton, or hot and sour soup. Tay Do also hosts wedding party. Below is a picture of the beautiful decoration before the party.
