Cooking Girl, the Houston-born Sichuan restaurant group, is turning up the heat in The Woodlands with its 11th location, set for Grogan's Mill Village Center in late July. The new spot is slated to serve a lineup of bold Szechuan staples, including Dongpo's stew hock, Pyramid Rib and Sweet Duck of Chengdu.
According to Community Impact, the restaurant will take over the suite at 7 Switchbud Place, Ste. 194, with an opening expected in late July. That report also pegs the Grogan's Mill outpost as the chain's 11th location.
What To Expect From The Menu
Cooking Girl's online listings currently show “Woodlands (Coming Soon)” alongside several Houston-area addresses. Its menus lean hard into numbing peppercorns, shareable plates and spicy noodle dishes, suggesting the Woodlands kitchen will stick with the same wok-driven, high-heat Szechuan playbook regulars already know.
Grogan's Mill Revamp Draws New Tenants
The Grogan's Mill Village Center is in the middle of a multi-year revitalization overseen by The Howard Hughes Corp., a project local outlets say has helped lure new restaurant leases. The Houston Chronicle has detailed the redevelopment plans, which include a library, community center and refreshed retail footprint.
When To Watch For The Opening
Cooking Girl has not announced a firm grand-opening date, but its site still lists the Woodlands location as "Coming Soon," and local reporting points to a late July debut. For the latest on soft openings, reservations and delivery options, keep an eye on the restaurant's website and the ongoing coverage from Community Impact.
