China Gourmet offers some of the best authentic Chinese cooking you can find here in Houston. I found that http://www.chinatownconnection.com/chinagourmet1.htm offers a great page on their restaurant. They are especially packed during the weekend, which tells me they are very popular among the community. When you walk in, you will see that this is a self-service restaurant. Just go up to the counter, order, and then find your own seat. The food is remarkable. I had the black-pepper sizzling steak served on a wood/iron plate. It tasted extremely good. Just thinking about it makes my mouth watery again. If you are in Houston's Chinatown, this place is a must-go.
