Cao Thang

Food has always been amazing here! My family and I really enjoy their banh mi here, always fresh and delicious . Expect everything on the menu to be good! Owner has always been super sweet to us, she definitely remembers all of her guest. Parking is a bit tight since part of it has been bought out but don't let that deter you from showing your support.

My mom and I decided to give this place a try since we were both in the mood for vermicelli and pho. At first, I missed the entrance because it looked like some apartments at first glance. The outside is interesting because yes, it's surrounded my apartments, but it's also connected with another business or two, so not too misleading. The inside is nice, clean and cold. We were the only ones inside, so seating was plenty. We got served by an older lady and gentleman. They were both very hospitable and welcoming. We ordered and the food came out super quick. I got the vermicelli bowl with charred pork and egg roll. My mom got the pho soup with a side of egg rolls. They brought out all the greens, bean sprouts and limes for the soup and some lettuce for the egg rolls. Everything tasted great. The meat in my bowl had an amazing flavor and the veggies were cold and fresh. My egg roll was chewy and soggy, not crispy or fresh tasting, so that was pretty disappointing.Overall, still very good and will definitely be back to try something different.

I've always wanted to visit Cao Thang, and was unable to until today. The staff is sweet, the restaurant isn't huge and intimate, and the food is amazing. It reminded me of so many home cooked meals I had with my Vietnamese friends growing up. It's cash only which may be inconvenient for some, but the prices and everything else make up for it. Can't wait to go back!

I didn't really know what to expect when we pulled up to Cao Thang, but my friend swore by it. We walked inside the super small restaurant and took a seat at one of the few tables to our right. The workers greeted us with menus and served us some waters. The lemonade is sooo good. Great choice for something sweet and refreshing. We ordered the chicken banh mi. It tasted kind of like dried/dehydrated chicken. Not sure how to explain it.But the sandwich was 10/10. Perfect and affordable ($4.50). Iced tea is only 50 cents (WHAT). Its a very light tea. We also got the hot spring rolls and they were delicious. Sweet and savory. Overall I'd definitely come back.

I've found a true hidden gem based on other reviews! Everytime I go to Hobby airport, I'm always in search of something to eat before flying out. Finally, this is the answer to my prayers. After pulling up to a building that looks like an outdated apartment with bars on the windows, I knew this would have authentic vietnamese food! Inside was very small and casual, and we knew it was a small family-run business.We were seated immediately and orders were taken. I got the mi quang and my husband got the pho tai. The lady who took our orders and brought our food was a sweet lady who reminded me of my grandma.So the mi quang was AMAZING! Slightly on the sweeter side, however there was a ton of things in it and the flavor was on point. I want it again as I'm writing this review.The pho tai was also really tasty and the broth was cooked to perfection.They also had other vietnamese snacks, desserts and banh for sale up front. I will definitely be back here!!

They do not take credit card. Food is decent. Just wanted to write a review about the credit card

4.50 banh mi that just hits the spot. They cash only but man it saved me from a hangover

Ordered a banh mi($4.50) with extra meat(+2). Got no extra meat but got charged extra. Service sucks, didn't come back to check on us about the food. The texture of the bread seemed like few days old. During check out told the lady there wasn't extra meat but she want to argue that she did put extra.The chicken rice plate was alright, slightly to drier side. Would I be back? No way....had so much better elsewhere

Small hole in the wall. Great food! Great hospitality. Close to Hobby. Picked up some Viet sandwiches before hopping on a flight

Very good spot - don't let the outside fool you. They have dish that's very hard to find in this commercial food world.
