Love the food & services here. The basic typical stir fried beef with flat noodles here is delicious. (够锅氣 = Have the wok heat flavor) staff server Thuy is excellent in recommending great dishes. She is friendly & courteous. Will return next time when we are in Houston area again.

This place is always fantastic. I have never been disappointed with anything I have ever ordered here. I don't care where you live in Houston you need to get over here as it's not going to blow you away with how pretty it is inside it is definitely not an instagrammable place but that shouldn't be why you were going out testing food in houston. You need to visit Shanghai and get yourself some great food ASAP

Delicious and no nonsense service. Family friendly establishment. Chef Special Tofu - light crunch on the outside and fluffy pillows of tofu on the inside, a must order item. Sautéed Egg Plant - they did not have a beef ribs for the eggplant and beef rib clay pot so we pivoted to sautéed Egg Plant. The eggplant was tender and the flavor was so good. Baby Bok Choy and Chicken - Bok choy had good texture and the chicken was tender and moist... Good Dish Salt toasted Spare Ribs - I know it has salt in the name but it was a little too salty.

Adding this to my pocket list of Chinatown restaurants. The English name of this restaurant is super misleading because you think it's Shanghainese food but it's actually Cantonese. This review is based on my takeout order. The salted pork spare ribs were definitely a standout dish. My husband said we should've ordered 2 of them lol. Even after the 30 min drive back they were still crispy, tender and juicy. The black bean rice noodle had good wok hei and wasn't overly salty. It was spicier than I expected since they added chili peppers and jalapeños but I enjoyed it. The Cantonese style sweet and sour chicken was good but nothing stood out compared to other restaurants serving the dish. The last thing we ordered was the beef pot, which came a lot more saucy than I expected, but the beef taste was still very strong, and they gave good portions of meat. Overall enjoyed all the dishes a lot as the taste of this place kinda straddles between the homemade and restaurant tasting line. Dishes aren't overly salted or enhanced with MSG which I appreciate. They also have a lunch special that seems to include weekends so will have to come back to try that.

A favorite place for us!! Ventured back since pandemic (been awhile) and found the same friendly faces and fantastic foods. Ms Queenie, not there today, once told us her food was Cantonese style. Her sister runs it now and she's an absolute joy and remembered us! Newly remodeled and fresh in red decor the place seems nicer new and fresh. Our dishes were absolutely fantastic. We were told no beer or wine license and no mention of BTOB. The entire Plaza has been remodeled and adds alot to be seen. Casual dining atmosphere and unrushed. Check for hours of operation. See ya there!

I couldn't resist trying the salt-toasted spare ribs, and they were absolutely fantastic! A definite must-try when you visit. The staff is incredibly friendly, providing top-notch service, and the food arrived surprisingly fast. Highly recommended!

If you try anything, you need the general tso's chicken, sweet and sour pork, and the fried spare ribs. Hands down the best! Seated immediately and they were able to accommodate a large party. Service was fast and staff were friendly. They came around often to refill drinks. Everyone enjoyed their food. Great portion sizes and great prices. You can tell this place has regulars and fills up quickly.

This Shanghai Restaurant 富仔記 has served me some great meals. That's why I have an upgraded opinion with this updated review. I came here one night looking for some home style dinner. It was cold winter in the middle of the week. I didn't know the closing time but I saw a couple still eating there. I ordered pepper ribs and a bowl of rice. I didn't think of anything but realized the employees are eating... Appeared to be eating dinner as end of their shift. Oh shoot I said. One employee came to me and said, "no hurry. You can stay until you're finished." Wow. So nice. Yeah. I hate to be rushed. It was actually my first-time dining in. I loved the decorations and those home feeling. No wonder it's been featured by Chow Down in Chinatown group many times. For the same reason I recommended my neighbor brought her family to dine here tonight. Because they took good care of me that night.
