A note taped to the window of Chinese Cafe announces that the restaurant at 5888 Richmond has shuttered. The counter-service spot took over its location between Chimney Rock and Fountain View from a McDonald’s after moving out of the shopping center 2 blocks east on the corner of Richmond and Sage Rd. in 2014. HS Green has since cropped up in the restaurant’s old shopping center storefront.
The photo at top looks east to show Chinese Cafe’s signage still shining beneath a starless sky last Friday, although the inside of the restaurant appears to have gone dark. The 3,756-sq.-ft. building sits between Taco Bell and the Houston Camera Exchange.

I’m sad. I’ve been going to multiple locations of Chinese Cafe since the early 1990s. I will miss their double pepper chicken and hot iced tea.
OMG nooooo whyyyyy. Please another location
When a Jack in the Box and Taco Cabana cannot survive at the corner of Richmond/Chimney Rock, Richmond Ave truly is dead…….
It was a Burger King, and agreed their food was the best and was a 25+ year customer of theirs
no it was Mc D’s before they moved to Richmond & Fountainview
