Old Place Cafe

"Growing up, our family has always dined here since its opening, drawn by the owner's warm hospitality. We particularly love their beef noodle soup and the whole lamb leg noodle soup. Recently, we've also become fans of their traditional North Side Chinese breakfast, adding a new layer of enjoyment to our family's dining tradition."

"Had the Pork and Chive dumplings in spicy beef soup. Excellent! Great flavor, really enjoyed it. Many other great looking things on the menu, so I can't wait to go back and try something else."

"This is a cozy Chinese restaurant located in Sugarland. Prices are reasonable and portion is abundant. The noodles are freshly made and delicious. They offer small authentic appetizers. Decorations resembling ancient Chinese noodle shop. Worth a visit."

"Good old place to grab food here just like the name implied. Food always good and cheap and large portion. I usually come here for their dumplings and wontons. They also have a lot of other difference dishes from all over China/Taiwan. Would highly recommended if you are looking for something different and traditional Chinese food."

"--- NK Score = 6.0/10 --- 7/10 = Furniture/Ambience 5/10 = Food Quality 7/10 = Service 8/10 = Price (Other Ratings N/A) _____________________________________________ =( BASIC INFO )= - Small, Casual Restaurant - Below Average Food - Variety: Chinese (Snack, Rice, Noodle) - Prices: Cheap ( $4.00 - $6.00 ) - CASH ONLY: No Credit Cards! _____________________________________________ = Atmosphere = Casual interior with a few decorations and a rather simple old-fashioned look. The ambience here is pretty calm, there's not many customers even during the dinner hours. Overall an average environment. _____________________________________________ = Food Quality = --- Dan Dan Noodle ($4.50): 3/5 --- Somewhat savory and tasty noodles, the minced pork and it's sauce is lightly flavored, slightly salty, and not very spicy. Pretty average for a $5 bowl of noodles, the flavors weren't really extraordinary in anyway, but the price + portion makes this pretty fair. --- Spicy Szechuan Noodle ($5.50): 2/5 --- When you think of Szechuan, you may think spicy, but what you're really thinking of is a flavorful spicy... which in this case is not true. This dish is the opposite of flavorful, it's flavorless! Lol, it's spicy alright, but that's basically all there is to it, maybe a tad bit of intestine flavor, but that isn't what I'd look for in a Szechuan style dish. Either way, this dish was quite underwhelming in terms of flavor, but the price is good. --- Spicy Wonton ($4.50): 1/5 --- Ok, so the sauce in this is actually quite good, a nice flavorful spicy, but there's a huge problem as well. The "wonton" skin they use in this dish is extremely thick and unsatisfying, not only is it starchy and flour-like, it is also 85% of the entire dish! Yes, there is only a puny piece of pork inside, and not only is it tiny, it was RAW! Straight up undercooked and had a stench to it, extremely unpleasant meal to finish when stuff like this happens. Other than that, I'd rate this dish as bad even if it was cooked correctly, cause the consistency is just awful all around, besides the sauce I suppose. _____________________________________________ = Price / Service = Prices here are rather inexpensive. Service is okay, nothing out of the ordinary. _____________________________________________ Miscellaneous (Other): - Self Serve Condiments - Very Situational Food - CASH ONLY!
