Let me preface this by saying I am a frequent of this establishment as I often order take out lunch.

The hours posted on the door state until 10PM. Upon arriving, we are seated by the hostess as a table.

After waiting about five minutes to order, this older gentleman comes out from the pack pointing to his watch screaming "We closed, you leave now!" and just repeated this over and over!

We were SEATED and then treated like this! Way to ruin a date night; would not recommend this place to anyone!

Good food, over eager service. We went there for our first time last week. It was about 4 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, and there were maybe two other ppl sitting at tables. The food was hot and fresh. General Tso Chicken was still crisp and not soggy from sitting in the sauce. Wonton soup was outstanding.The service was way attentive. I don't know if this was good or bad, but it made me a little uncomfortable. Our busboy came over at the begining of the meal and intoduced himself and wanted to know where we were from. At one point, I told my daughter I was not going to pick up my head from my plate, because everytime I looked up, the waiter, host or busboy would come rushing over. I know this is a sign of 'upscale' service...but it was a bit much.

I would still go back again!

this food qualifies as horrible. the service was fine and the ambiance but the food was the most boring, tasteless i have ever experienced in chinese food. there was no wait, actually there were only 3 or 4 occupied tables in this large restaurant. don't go there!

An authentic Chinese eatery dishing out consistently good fare.. The Scene
Amiable and engaging, though not a high-profile spot where you'd dazzle a date or impress a business client. Instead, Fu's Garden offers reliable service, comfort and consistently good, if conventional, food at affordable prices.

The Food
Along with the usual array of Hunan standards like the richly sauced moo shu pork and crepes, highlights include a pleasantly eye-tearing kung pao chicken and a nicely spiced curry beef with onions. Fu's offers a half dozen or so low calorie dishes that are worth noting. These are concoctions prepared in a bamboo steamer, cutting down on calories but, more importantly, allowing the natural flavors to shine through. Subtle chicken, shrimp and salmon variations appeal to the delicate palate.

Tried and true. We use the Richmond location for take-out. The ladies who take our order are always nice. They even said they missed me when I had not ordered in 4-5 weeks this summer. Best for take-out or dine-in before 7:00 in the evenings, or the freshness wears off. Great chicken w/ veggie soup, moo shoo chicken. Decor doesn't do much for me, but they do a lot of lunch business. Good, basic Chinese reaturant with weveral locations in Houston.

Great place. I have to admit the food here is very good if you are looking for non-traditional chinese food. I enjoy that the food si not soaked in MSG or greesy at all. The wait staff is usually very nice. Sometimes it is hit or miss with the waiters. The lunch menu is very affordable and the eggrolls that come with the lunch are the best.

Mmmm!. The food here is excellent! The chicken is all white meat, the vegitables are fresh and crisp and the selection is great. And, they offer lunch specials on the weekends! What a bargain. I wish they would open a Fu's Garden in the Heights!

Fu's = Best in H-town? I don't think so. This is the worst chinese food I have ever had in my life. Everything is horribly bland and can only be labeled "chinese food" in the academic sense. Save your money and head to Kam's on Montrose... Even Hunan Dragon on the corner of West Alabama and Shepherd is better than Fu's Garden.

best chinese food. Excellent food, especially their General Tso's Chicken and combo fried rice, and warn service.

Would recommend to any one who likes Full service chinese rest.
