We have been to this restaurant twice. Both times we came because our non-Chinese friends indicate that this is their preferred Chinese food restaurant. The food, atmosphere and service are just ok or barely acceptable. But the food is overpriced with small size. The tables and chairs could use some updating.
Absolutely one of the best Asian restaurants I've eaten food from. There are two menus one with photos and one without. I'm not fluent in any Asian language so I'd recommend asking for the photo menu. That being said I asked a staff member tins of questions and took his recommendations. The food here is amazing. Everything we ate was cooked so perfectly and seasoned just right. We tried quite a few dishes because everything sounded so good. I highly suggest peppered beef and basil chicken. Not only is the food terrific but so is the service. The staff members were all so kind, helpful, and quick to assist us either by refilling our glasses or removing empty plates, we never really had to ask for anything because they asked us first.
Arco seafood is a bit on the pricey side, especially given its location next to other delicious restaurants. However, the food is very good and prepared perfectly. The Peking duck was a real delight, and the highlight of our meal. None of the dishes were over-salted, a tendency most Chinese restaurants have.
The service could have been better - it felt like our meal was a bit rushed.
Overall, we had a good experience, and Arco Restaurant is a place I would recommend everyone try.

Place is really good and I recommend trying! The servers were so sweet and worked together for everyone to be treated and have a great time! Highly recommend.
Some of the best authentic Chinese food in my life at this restaurant. I had takeout for dinner, then returned for dimsum the next day. The beef with onion and pork dumplings were amazing. The environment was friendly, clean, and welcoming while also delivering professional service and exceptionally tasty food. I will absolutely return when I visit Houston in the future. Would recommend you give this place a shot if you're looking for the best 👌
Introduced one of my favorite places to some friends and they enjoyed as much as I always do. This is the go to restaurant for any of my mom's celebration. Their soft shell crab is not only amazing but also reasonably priced. Love this place!
Authentic Cantonese food with very affordable price. Good vibes and good service. They have dim sum too.
Not sure why the average reviews here because the dim sum is fantastic. That salt and pepper squid was delicious. Every other dim sum item you could want is available here and prepared perfectly and quickly.
Craving for crispy lobster noodles we went to Arco for a dinner. Besides the noodles we also ordered the long beans and bitter gourd with beef. The food did not disappoint but the service is not as good.
Excellent food and service here. They have 3 private rooms with huge round tables which you can use if you spend a minimum of $300. Dim sum is good and the prices are reasonable too.
