Lu Xiang Village — Restaurant in Houston

Whenever I visit Houston Bellaire Blvd, I normally go to San Dong for pan-fried steam buns, but unfortunately, they ran out of them today, so I decided to try Lu Xiang Village instead. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of buns they had and how affordable they were. They offered three varieties of fried buns, and I got two of each at just $2.60 per bun.

The buns were outstanding. Each bite had the perfect balance of crispy and chewy textures, with a generous amount of savory filling that really hit the spot. My favorite was the pork and cabbage, followed closely by the pork and onion. Both were packed with flavor, and the fillings were juicy and well-seasoned. The buns themselves were very filling—two were more than enough to satisfy my craving, making them a great value for the price.

I also picked up 10 of their steamed pork buns for $6.50, which were equally satisfying. The steamed buns had a soft, pillowy texture and were stuffed with a hearty pork filling. While I loved everything I ordered, I do wish they had chili oil available for dipping, which would have elevated the flavors even more.

Overall, Lu Xiang Village exceeded my expectations and is now on my list of go-to spots on Bellaire Blvd. If you’re craving delicious, well-made buns at a great price, I highly recommend...

Their veggie buns are good ! I would recommend them for sure. Went for the first time, I asked the employee if something had meat in the sauce or anything and I guess they didn't put two and two together and sold me another item that has a vegetable in the title but mentions nothing about pork being in it? The employee was rushed (perhaps a big order came in?) and they were still rushing when I picked up the food 15-18 mins later. Who knows what happened but, they need to be more careful about that. Food was luke warm. Seems like it gets bagged hot and placed on a cold table. Or I got lucky and got their morning batch of buns? Didn't taste bad all on all though. But being that Chinatown tends to have more people that eat strictly vegetarian because of their beliefs (i.e all the Buddhist temples everywhere?), they need to really improve their...

Went at 8am on Sunday. Everything except the red bean pie was in stock, but most everything we ordered was lukewarm or completely cold. They do have a microwave but anyone who's had you tiao knows that they can't really be reheated without losing their crispiness.

That being said these are the items we got:

You tiao (2/5): cold Tofu flower (3/5): decent flavor kind of oily Beef and leek pie (4/5): lukewarm but good flavor Red bean bun (2/5): kind of salty and falling apart. Go to I Ping right around the...
