"Set to open a third outpost at 2424 Rice Boulevard in Rice Village near Rice University, this Katy-rooted Chinese restaurant—already operating two well-reviewed locations—will offer a menu of classic dishes including xiao long bao (soup dumplings), “spicy and numbing” hot pots, crispy spring rolls, and various noodle plates. Other highlights mentioned are cumin lamb, deep-fried fish in sweet-and-sour sauce, and takeout staples like kung pao chicken, plus a novelty “hot noodle challenge” that rewards diners who finish a ghost-pepper-spiked bowl within 30 minutes with a free meal and a t-shirt. Expansion was flagged in permit filings with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, confirmed via an update to the restaurant’s website, and previously reported in lease coverage; no official opening date has been announced yet." - Amy McCarthy
