I'm leery of mixed-culture foods. Fusion restaurants are fine, but any place that serves multiple styles of oriental cuisine is questionable. Chin Tao offers Chinese and Japanese food. The owner is Chinese. The last time I went in they had a ...?

As of May 2009, I definitely recommend Chin Tao (corner of Jones and Grant behind the McDonalds and the gas station). We have been going there for a dozen years. From the beginning they have remembered us and have always been especially sweet to our children. Things changed after they re-modeled. They reduced their wait-staff since most of their business is delivery/take-out and every time we went it was a different - untrained - person. The food quality was inconsistent and the owner was often not there. But, they turned things around. The owner is always there and it shows. They hired more staff, who provide terrific service, and the food is back to being the best in town. Where else can you get both top-notch Chinese and Japanese food in a quiet family environment ? The owner knows his sushi and will be happy to explain the menu choices. Give them a try.?

They speak English and get the food to me on time. That's good enough for me.?

I have been eating here for years. I like everything I have tried. I love that they deliver and you get tons of food for what you pay.?

Chin Tao is the best Chinese restaurant I have tried in Houston. We have been dining there for several years. All of my family have tried Chin Tao and eat there regularly. Every guest we have taken was delighted with the food and service. The sushi is superior. The reqular chinese fair is the best. They serve a wonton soup that is superior to any other wonton soup I have eaten in the U.S.

In the beginning I was a bit reluctant to eat here, but one day I was in the mood for something different. The owner, Richard, was friendly and helpful. When we tried the sushi, all of us swore off everywhere and eat here almost exclusively. I give this place a 9/10
