"Sweet-skinned duck, perfect mapo tofu, and more excellent dishes await at Hu's Cooking, Houston's Newest Chinese Hotspot. John Hu was an architect and contractor, which explains the slick but playful aesthetic of his restaurant, Hu's Cooking. His partners in the business are a real estate agent and a banker. Hu was opening manager at the Cooking Girl just down Holcombe Boulevard from his three-month-old restaurant. It was there that he met chef Wang Yu, the secret to the eatery’s runaway success." - Alice Levitt
