Giau Bar N Bites

Great vibes and music and decor (club lights), drinks were tasty but the food was mediocre. I still love my Vietnamese bar food options though. The best that I had were the raw marinated shrimp, coconut snails and duck egg. The oysters were not good. Would go back for drinks and a good time but not for the oysters.

Came in here randomly and last minute looking for something that was open late and somewhere I had not been before. I also wanted it to be within a 20 min range. It was so packed. The waitress informed me that it was Chinese New Year and they had an event. Most of the tables were reserved, but the bar was open. The bar was packed too. The waitress was nice and said she would put my name on a waitlist. While I was waiting on my "date" to arrive, 2 seats became available at the bar. I started off with one of their margaritas and listened to the music being played. Most of it was hip hop, which I enjoyed. Once my date arrived I tried an old fashion. I preferred the old fashion. I was not sure what to order since I was not very hungry. I decided on wings and asked the bartender what flavor. He recommend tossing the wings in the sauce they use for their chicken feet. It was spicy and delicious. My date had the fried rice and it was good as well. The portion sizes were generous. As we were almost done eating the show began. We loved seeing the dragon dancers, listening to the cultural music, and enjoying in the festivities. Needless to say it was a memorable first date.

I am rating this place solely on the cocktails because that is all I had there. This is a cute unexpected bar in Chinatown, with a sports bar-like vibe. I came in with a friend on a Thursday evening, and it wasn't busy.I enjoyed the two cocktails I had: Bubbly Pineapple and Peach Sangria. If you like sweet and fruity cocktails, this place is for you! I would recommend both of the drinks I ordered for the taste, but tbh I did not taste any alcohol (potentially dangerous lol). My friend ordered the Kiwi Breeze and something that had a name like Brazilian Lemonade. The Kiwi Breeze was refreshing (again couldn't taste the alcohol) and the Brazilian Lemonade drink was verrrrry strong. My fav drink was probably the Bubbly Pineapple for how extra it is (see video). Prices are pretty standard; $12-14 for a cocktail. Our server was great; we got our drinks pretty quickly after ordering and she was attentive to whether we needed to order more stuff. Parking situation: on-site

My friends and I came here after dinner as we have been wanting to try their watermelon soju for a while now. It was average at best. We didn't taste much soju and it tasted like lukewarm watermelon juice. Personally, I enjoy other variations of watermelon soju where it's more slushy-like and sweeter. It was a lot of juice though for 4 people! We had trouble finishing all of it. The calamari that we ordered on the side was nothing to write home about. I would've liked it to be more crispy.

This place is amazing. Anne Marie is so awesome. Im coming back asap! I recommend all the food. Great drink selection as well

Came here on a Friday night for some birthday fun, food was sooo good, drinks were heavy handed so you know you got your money worth and it's live inside. With a dj and a dancer there was not a dual moment. Service was quick and they were pretty pack, but we got our drinks and food in a timely manner, she also came back and check on us multiple times. Get the crispy intestines if you're into it, one of my favorite on the menu, and I really enjoyed their watermelon soju. If you're look for a good time, good vibes and good food, 10/10 would recommend

Cool place to pop in for yummy food and drinks. Try the quail balut and the mini eggrolls!

it's usually a hit or miss when we come here. we ordered flavored soju and it was $25 for ONE bottle. yikes. bummed they had no crawfish either. service was good but we were one of the few tables there. the quail balut is always good but they are pricy the thai hot pot broth is so damn good the avocado volcano was pretty meh, lacked flavorthe nuoc mam wings were super dry but flavor was good the fried chicken feet is always bomb

This is usually my first or second stop when in Houston. Giving this place 4 stars for the food and atmosphere. The quail is always season and fried to perfection. The crawfish here is hands down my favorite (Viet Cajun style). Oysters and tobiko are always fresh. There are so many other dishes that look amazing and that I'd love to try! I love the live DJ and you can get bottle service for a decent price. The only time I've had decent service here was when I came with my cousin who knew a lot of the ladies who worked there. Otherwise, the service is terrible. The girls are a bit rude and you can tell our waitress did not want to be our server. I wanted to asked for more napkins and new cups (as things got a bit messy while eating crawfish) but before i could say napkins our waitress turned and walked away. This occurred multiple times. Her attitude was passive aggressive and uncalled for. I still left a 16% tip because I enjoyed the food but they should work on their service.

Service was great. Restaurant vibe was great for friends hanging out for a chill night with alcohol options and late night snacks.If you like banh canh cua, definitely give theirs a try!
