The Flying Dumpling

"Frequenting the local takeout spot in college is an essential experience, which The Flying Dumpling, a Chinese restaurant on the University of Houston campus, dutifully provides. The portions are huge, delicious, and will satisfy the nostalgic craving you have for American Chinese classics. Feed yourself or a group on the cheap, or stock up for a few days of leftovers during finals week. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"This family-run American-Chinese takeout spot on the edge of campus has a never-ending line of hungry students waiting for massive portions of cheap, filling food. The Flying Dumping is no exception. The portions here bust out of the styrofoam box. The fat egg rolls are stuffed with cabbage and ratchet-strapped together by a crispy golden wonton wrapper. The lo mein noodles are utilitarian and packed with something freshman students might neglect: vegetables. And the giant baos are a meal in themselves. Go here to satiate yourself and a group of friends on the cheap or to stock up for a few days of leftovers during finals week." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
