One of my regular lunch places. They offer lunch menu. Clean, good flavored, and very reasonable price. parking may be a problem if you come around noon weekday. And you may have to wait. There usually is a long que around that time. Yes, it's very popular. So we usually go there before 11:30. I like spicy food, but if... More

The Qin Dynasty has become one of our regular Chinese restaurants in Houston. The decore, service and food are all excellent, with prices including wine prices very reasonable. Although the dishes are "Westernized" and not authentic Chinese recipes, all dishes I have tried have been delicious as well as large serves. Most nights a pianist plays quietly, so it is... More

We've lived close to Qin for 5 or 6 years now and with eating lots of Asian food at lots of Asian restraurants... This is probably the best Chinese food in Houston. Kams on Montrose is a close second. The quality of the food is always consistently delicious... This place is great for to go orders.... It's also the most... More

Best Hot and Sour soup ever... though I'm always tempted to get the House Special Wonton. Actually, I don't think I've ever had a bad dish here. The food is refined and the flavors are simple and sophisticated. All dishes have a choice of brown, white or fried rice to accompany. Try the Lettuce Wraps, the Jalapeno Beef or any... More

The decor here is interesting. Parking and location are safe and convenient. The food is good but I have never had anything that made me crave a return. Clearly I am in the minority, however, because the place is always packed. I had a dish shown as a seafood Thai curry. It was mediocre. The more traditional "chinese" dishes looked... More

Lunch is served until 4:00 p.m. and for a fraction of the dinner price and the quantity is generous. The Chinese food served here is classic and you'll be back again and again.

Bad service from the rude hosts through the management. They are arrogant and dismissive. Food is also very pricy. They frequently get to-go orders wrong, and refuse to appologize. However it does taste very good. I don't want to like it, but I do.

Ordered a selection including a combo plate delivered to my hotel room. The food arrived fast and was exceptionally good. I tried the sweet and sour chicken combo which was very tasty. Great value for the price I paid - the food was easily enough to feed two!

We have been to Qin Dynasty due to being a consistently great dining experience. Does not matter whether it is lunch or dinner, very special Chinese cruisine. It is our family's local favorite. The decor is unique, yet subtle. The service is impeccable. Cannot go wrong by dining at Qin Dynasty.

They have a great lunch menu and is great after Church. Service is great and they are kid friendly! Dinner menu is a little pricey but lunch is $8-10/person with soup, entree, egg roll or crab puffs. They also have good take out!
