Good value Chinese BBQ restaurant that offers all the classic choices and the ability to pick multiple in a single plate. It’s definitely not the best I’ve had, the BBQ pork was on the drier side and the sauces are all extra, but for the variety you get it’s good if you want a wide spread for a plate. The portion size was good for the price, although the portions of meat were not even (I definitely got more BBQ Pork than duck). Decent amount of indoor seating.

Prices have been going up lately but this place has best barbecue pork (char siu) and roasted pork that I have tried around Houston. Make sure you go early when the food is freshly made. Otherwise, you may be eating food that has been sitting out and cold

I got put on this restaurant by a Vietnamese guy. He told me its as real as it gets here in Houston. It was 100ĥ delicious and would try to stop by everyone I was in the area. Thay was once upon a time a go. Been reading comments mentioning new ownership. Sadly they are cutting corners.
Ordered at 12:33 and they had no noodles or bokchoy which I was craving.
I will no longer come here. Pork belly was fat and soggy. Nothing was crispy. Fried ribs were decent but not as good as it was before.
Where did the old owners go? I know they had to open another business.
Line used to be long. Not anymore and u know why

Update former review below:
01/23/25
I was served old, cold food today. I usually order their braised pork once a week, but after being closed due to the weather, they finally reopened today. Unfortunately, the braised pork was completely off—the texture was wrong, and it tasted strange. I also ordered the duck, which was equally bad. I returned the pork, and they replaced it with chicken, but that too was off.
While I understand the weather caused delays in reopening, it doesn’t excuse serving old meat to customers. This will be my last visit, as it’s clear they have no regard for their patrons.
Old Review to see how much the food was enjoyed:
The food at Siu Lap City is absolutely delicious. The duck, BBQ pork, and braised pork belly with duck eggs truly are delicious. The portions and pricing are an excellent deal; You get two meats, rice, and vegetables for a great value. The only downside is that they tend to run out of certain items on most days. Oh and your BBQ meats may not be hot, but room temperature.

Edit: The quality has gone downhill alot.
This was a neat quick lunch spot. If you are a fan of crispy pork belly, char siu, and roasted duck, you should definitely come here! Me and my partner shared a plate of large which you get either white or fried rice proteins and 1 vegetable. I got here around 3pm so there weren’t that many veggies left to choose from. Don’t skip the sauce and chili, it’s a must. There was no line so it didn’t take long to get an order in. They also do catering.

Came here towards the end of business hours which might’ve been a mistake… everything on my plate was lukewarm. The flavors of the meat were good but it did taste a bit stale. The pork belly is much better than the duck in my opinion. The ginger scallion sauce is a must try though if you’re coming here. I wish they’d keep the quality of their food consistent throughout the day though!

Had the BBQ and roast pork with steamed rice for lunch. Also had some chillie Fried wings and pork ribs. The pork was very good. The rice and wings were also good but let down by not being hot as they should be. Happy to try them again and hopefully the steamed rice and Fried wings will be hot. Than you.

I’ve been here twice since the new owners took over. The portion sizes shrank and the food is no longer good. I usually get the roast duck and pork belly as my weekly order for the past 3 years. I got this last week, the pork belly is not tender or juicy and the skin is no longer crispy. The duck was dry. The only thing that stayed the same was the vegetables. I noticed that store is not as busy as it used to be. If they kept the same quantity and quality I think ppl would return.

Food quality and taste went down substantially under new owner. Pork belly has mostly fat, skin is chewy. Roasted duck tastes plain, one of the most chewy roasted ducks I ever had. Sad, it’s used to be my favorite spot for quick lunch in midtown area.

Tasty duck, roast pork, fried ribs, bbq pork. Family owned and operated spot. The spicy chicken wings were surprisingly good. Great value for the $$$! Eat inside and experience the sights and sounds of grandma hacking away at the meats with a giant meat cleaver! Reminds me of Asia!
The tenants of this shopping strip really need to get together with the property management and work out a better parking situation, maybe lease the parking lot across the street where Les Givral’s used to be.
