Oui Banh Mi

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (387) • $

"My initial draw to Oui Banh Mi was their drive thru, which similarly to Lee's on Bellaire (#1), is a rarity for any Vietnamese based restaurant in Houston. After a number of visits with average experiences, I'm convinced their food is solid in a pinch, but not exactly a go-to option. Given that a good volume of their business is takeout, they've been an ideal pandemic type restaurant. Seating is minimal on the inside, but there's a few booth type areas for those who want to dine in. They seem quite modern overall with a sleek menu and fun mural to boot.The food is a mixed bag. One could argue that it's watered down and/or a tad gringo'y, but it lives to serve the neighborhood. Their namesake banh mi has been the least appealing thing on their menu since the bread was stale and the portions were paltry at best. I've tried their signature chargrilled pork and pate, which had very little of both. The first time I thought it was a mistake but the subsequent visits of skimpy sandwiches made me think otherwise.I think a better route has been their vermicelli noodles, particularly with chicken and egg rolls. The fish sauce isn't that potent, but it is definitely sweet. I do think their Vietnamese iced coffee is a clear winner and the pho should probably be avoided at all costs. Spring rolls are also a gamble at times, since the wrapping isn't always tight, resulting in a limp roll or one that's constantly falling apart.Service has also been a mixed bag. Minus the occasional order snafu, I find the service really depends who's at the counter. The awkward times of ordering in Viet has been met with a bit of pushback, to the point where my party and I stopped saying banh mi all together.Their prices are good for the area and I think the fact they use the Coco mini-robot delivery machines are cool. I don't think I'd completely say no to Oui, but I'm definitely saying peut être (#2)____________(#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/lees-sandwiches-houston(#2) Maybe, perhaps."

Pho Dung 3

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (20)

"I usually like the Udon here! It is kinda spicy,had shrimp balls and also little things like pork rinds on top! It is my tried and true! I think it is number 17 or 18 on the menu? But i come here often enough on my lunch break and I don't even need a menu anymore. I love that dish! This time,on my visit,i wanted to try something new. I got chicken noodle soup with bamboo shoots. It was good and hit the spot on a cold day! I feel like this pho spot can do no wrong with their food!"

Pho Bo

★★★★☆ 3.9 (71)

"Love this place although I've had cheaper bowls of pho for the size I get here. The pho has enough flavor to where you don't have to add a tremendous amount of anything. It anyways taste fresh and I haven't had a bad experience. The staff are very polite."

"This cute, quiet spot is really bomb af! The food here is delicious and reasonably priced. I actually stopped here twice in the same week. The first time I visited was for lunch. You get an egg roll, choice of soup and an entree. In total, I spent $14 and that includes a drink. The second visit was a few days later. I'm a creature of habit & I already knew it would be good so I ordered the Panang curry again. I also ordered 2 ordered of egg roll (you cannot go wrong) and my friend ordered a beef & noodle dish (I was focused on my own food so I didn't get the name, but I was told it was delicious too). The service is impeccable as well. The staff (really just the older guy) is amazing and sweet. From what I've experienced, most people order their food to go, but the inside is super clean and the service is top notch."

Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodles

★★★★★ 4.8 (305) • $$

"My friends took me here for lunch when I was exploring Katy Asian Town and this was my first time coming. It was raining and kind of gloomy, so I was wanting something cozy and warm and this place was suggested. The restaurant itself is relatively small, but still comfortable.We all ordered our own "make it your own" ramen/hotpot type deal & so I ordered the tomato broth. They serve it hot right at your table and you can add in whatever you like and always order more at an extra cost. It comes with A LOT of noodles, meats, and veggies. The broth tasted like a thick tomato soup, which isn't entirely what I expected basing it off of the tomato bases from other hot pot places, but it was still really good. After putting in all the fixing's, I just waited a few seconds to ensure it was all getting cooked properly, and it was ready to eat. The meat was tender and the noodles were really nice, thick, and had a good chew. The noodles were probably the best part of the meal since it really had good texture and bite. It was very filling though. I felt that I barely made a dent in my noodles and only placed 1/3 of it into my broth - it was really filling.We also ordered some appetizers, but I forgot to take some pictures. We ordered the takoyaki, popcorn chicken, and the Schezwan spiced beef tripe. I am a sucker for takoyaki and popcorn chicken anywhere, so I was very happy with the appetizer selection. The beef tripe was interesting... not really my cup of tea, but it was good. However, I was eating the takoyaki like crazy and enjoying the popcorn chicken like no one's business.Overall, I had a really good experience here and the food was just as good. Completely came here blind, not knowing what to expect, and left feeling happy and glad I tried something new that I definitely will come back for."

Viet Alley

★★★★☆ 3.5 (76)

"I am so addicted to the Bún Riêu ốc, ever since I watched and participated in a foodie video taping with my coworkers last year. I drool over the scrumptious Vietnamese crab tomato noodles soup at Kim Son buffet. But because of the price, I hesitate to eat there. Once I found Viet Alley, I'm in the Noodles Heaven.I bookmarked this restaurant since the CoVid era. I just noticed I could get airline milage rewards, I decided to swing by on a freezing cold night. There were few customers already dining in on a weekday. Plus, few customers picking up their orders. Considering a newer restaurant in the strip mall called Fountain Square, right across from Hong Kong City Mall.The storefront was quite bright. It was hard to miss it. After I enjoyed the crab noodles soup, I decided to some pictures of the menu. Then, I found Noug Mat - herbal drink made with artichokes. Yummy. I used to make them in the summer at home. I got lazy lately. I'd rather drink from the restaurants.There were so many dishes I wanted to try at Viet Alley. They got daily specials; I just need to bring a Vietnamese friend to help me order."

RAKKAN Ramen - Tomball Parkway

★★★★☆ 4 (24)

"The ramen place has just opened near my boyfriend and I's place and we were excited to trying it! When we got there, we were greeted by a hostess (tall curly hair, think her name is Jacqueline). and seated promptly after notifying her we wanted dine in. She introduced herself and stated she'd be our waiter as well and asked if we could start off with drinks. We both asked for waters for now to start while we looked over the menu. We both were very interested in the spicy miso ramen so we decided to go with that. But Jacqueline mentioned that we could do the combo option which was the appetizer with the ramen for a better price. So we both decided to get an appetizer as well. I got the spicy beef gyoza since I'd never seen it at any ramen restaurant before. My boyfriend got the crispy chicken which was their version of the chicken karaage. It was very good. My only pointer is that the spicy beef gyoza were not really spicy, and they only gave us a tiny dollop of chili paste on the plate. I would recommend giving a small plate of it as optional instead of a dollop. They also only gave a small dollop of mayo on the crispy chicken plate which I think was meant for dipping but I would recommend giving a small bowl of ponzu sauce with the mayo, or a spicy mayo, and a larger amount instead of such a small dollop for 5 pieces that were fairly large. Not enough mayo at all for the crispy chicken so my boyfriend started dipping it in the gyoza sauce.We also decided to order a small bottle of hot sake and a bottle of Asahi beer along with a Kanikama sushi bites. The bites definitely were like their version of a sushi bake. We asked for wasabi which made the dish much better as there's no dipping sauce for it.Our spicy garnets came out after we finished the last sushi bite, just in time! It's surprisingly very delicious and still a rich flavor even though it's vegetable soup based! I'm super glad it's vegetarian friendly! Overall, The ramen was good, I added garlic and corn which was good and they actually gave alot of garlic for each of us where other ramen restaurants would be more stingy about how much garlic we get. Overall, we both agreed we'd definitely come back for the food. Service was also good with Jacqueline as she's very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and being a waitress!Towards the end of the dinner, Jacqueline had cleared our table as we finished up plates which I really love! However, the other waitress who was working, had come by our table and asked if she could take up our water glasses but we hadn't paid yet. Instead I actually asked for more water because they did not refill my water glass the entire meal. After we paid, the waitress (not jacqueline) came back and tried to take up our glasses again but I told her that my boyfriend still had his beer and I still had my sake so she needed to wait and she walked away. It was disappointing that she didn't know that she should wait to clear the remaining glasses from the table AFTER the customer has left. Otherwise it gave the impression that she was trying to rush us out even though there was no one else in the restaurant. I hope she knows now.Overall, great place for large groups, good pricing and service is good! I hope they stay in business for a very long time!"

Local Pho

★★★★☆ 3.7 (29)

"Service here is a little dry and didn't feel too welcoming. It's a beautiful interior and ample seating. Was a little disappointed that you either had to buy their in house teas or just can sodas. A bahn mi, large pho and 3 canned drinks is a little pricey for almost $30. We were in the area and wanted something nearby. May or may not return. Didn't leave too much desire to come back."

"Awesome place for Schwann food. We use to have to drive to downtown now we have a great place in the area. Great service and very friendly the owner is on sight often and made us feel welcome.

Country Pho

★★★★☆ 4.4 (200) • $

"The service was attentive and quick. I had beef vermicelli and the hubs had shrimp pho. We shared spring rolls. With my vermicelli I also received an egg roll and a shrimp sugarcane roll (maybe not called a roll but anyhow...). The beef was super flavorful and tender. Really good flavor. I did need to use some of my husbands broth because the noodles have zero sauce on them at all. I guess I was expecting something on them so they weren't just a clump of noodles. That being said, with a little broth they were really nice. I definitely prefer the spring rolls to the egg roll. The spring rolls are crunchy and flavorful but the egg roll lacked a crunchiness and felt a little mushy inside. The shrimp sugarcane thing was ok. Probably an acquired taste. The vegetables in my vermicelli bowl were super fresh and crunchy. Overall I really liked the beef vermicelli bowl...with a bit of broth. It was light and satisfying. The shrimp pho was good. The shrimp were nice and big and nicely cooked. I had hot tea, as well. It was fresh and hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed the meal. If you're in Rosenberg, give them a try. You won't regret it."

"I like coming here for lunch because it's not too busy and the food comes out fast. They have a cool lunch special $12.50 which includes an entree & appetizer. I recommend the Avocado tofu rice bowl. They also have vegan ramen and/or you can substitute most of their other ramen bowls to make it vegan. Servers are really nice and well trained. Soft music vibes in the background. Lowtop bar and hightop community table in addition to some booths and outside tables."

Ishin Udon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (394) • $$

"With the recent cold front, my girlfriend and I were really craving a warm bowl of soup. She mentioned wanting to go to Ishin and I had never had authentic Udon so we decided to head over for dinner.There are a lot of good-looking, busy restaurants in this strip so it was a little challenging to find parking, but we eventually found a spot far down from the door. The lighting, decor, and overall ambiance of the restaurant were overall very warm and cozy. It seemed relatively busy and while the place was relatively full we were seated immediately and the wait staff were very friendly throughout our time there.Since this was my first time having udon, it took me a second to look through the menu because everything looked and sounded amazing. Eventually, we decided to start off with the takoyaki which came out hot and was delicious. The filling had the perfect ratio of octopus to sauce. Next, we ordered our main courses, she had the sukiyaki udon and I had the kitsune udon but I wanted some sort of meat so I got a side order of chashu. The broth in both of the soups was incredibly flavorful and rich and just what we were looking for. We finished the meal off with the banana tempura which was the perfect way to end the the meal.Even though this was my first time trying Udon Ishin made a very good first impression on me and although it seems very authentic I think the menu, staff, and atmosphere make this a very approachable spot for anyone to try. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Ishin and I am excited to return and try a few more of their dishes in the near future!"

Lucky Bento VIP Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (30)

"This is a no holds bar, authentic Chinese spot. No frills, and it doesn't look like much from the outside. The interior is decently clean. We ordered a bunch of dishes and they're Northeast Chinese cuisine. All pretty good and it's decent portion size as well. Service is very minimal as per old school Chinese spots but it's reminiscent of the old fashioned style of dining out before Chinese cuisine got hipster. The sweet and sour pork is a solid dish and the the small intestine is cooked deliciously as well. The cumin lamb is another decent dish. Note: this is ridiculous but they charge you $1 per bowl of steamed rice. This is very atypical of any Chinese restaurant and also the rice is a bit soft/too much water added.Also note: we did spot a cockroach scurrying around the dining room.Nothing Michelin starred or fancy but it'll be home cooked Chinese food that will fill you up."

Kim’s Pho & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (63) • $$

"Authentic Vietnamese restaurant with a clean and cool interior decor. The waitress offered super fast service and the food was delicious. My lemon grass beef bun was grilled and flavorful. My dining partner had the spring rolls and traditional beef pho, both were so good! We had other friends who also joined us later and order the mignon beef, grilled chicken with shrimp rice plate, won ton noodle soup, and the stir fry noodles. None of the dishes disappoint. A huge selection of drinks including milk tea and juice. Since they are not a Chinese restaurant, I opt for the Vietnamese fresh lemon lime juice which was perfect for catching my vitamin Cs on a cold rainy day in Houston!"

Li’s Potstickers

★★★★☆ 4.1 (16)

"Li's Potstickers is a new dumpling restaurant that replaces Fen. They are currently in their soft opening phase. I had difficulty looking for the restaurant as their restaurant sign has not been put up yet. The restaurant is located beside Coco's by the way. The restaurant is small and clean. I love the clean decor and the colors in the restaurant. I came for the pork xiao long bao so of course I had to try that. The wrapper to filling ratio for the xiao long bao was good. The wrapper was thin too, and there was a good amount of soup in each xiao long bao. However the xiao long bao lacked in flavor and depth in the soup. Ginger wasn't served with the xiao long bao which was unusual. I also had the pork and shrimp snow flake pot stickers. Same as the xiao long bao, the filling in the pot stickers lacked flavor. The pot stickers were also swimming in oil when served to me. That didn't look appetizing. I had the hot noodles with sesame paste which had no meat in it. It was ok. The color of the noodles looked very different from the poster's. I ended my meal with sweet sesame balls. They had red bean filling in them, my favorite. They tasted frozen store bought instead of homemade. Overall I am disappointed with the food flavor."

Manna Noodle House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (146) • $$

"Spicy seafood soup - (5/5) Amazing broth. The owner says it take her 3 days to cook it. It was extremely flavorful. Tteokbokki - (5/5) the owner told me she uses the spicy seafood soup broth to make the tteokbokki sauce. Makes sense considering this is the best tteobbokki I've had in Houston.The spice level was plenty for the average person. Jjajangmyeon - I haven't had this dish much so I wasn't sure what to rank it. It's good, but I really enjoyed the other two dishes a lot so this didn't shine as bright. Service was fast and the owner is nice. Portion sizes are good. I enjoyed talking to her before the lunch rush. Will def make the trip back for these dishes and others."

Taipei Express

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (61) • $

"This little place is super underrated! Hot, fresh, and flavorful food. We are vegetarians and are always looking for a new diet-friendly place that doesn't break the bank and has actual hot food for our dietary restrictions. We ordered the Eggplant Garlic sauce (a little too sweet but tasty with a slight kick at the end). We also ordered the Tofu curry vegetables which was unique (think curry masala added to fried tofu and veggies) and the steamed dumplings were a hit. 1-star less for smaller portions for the price of $9-10/entree. We will definitely try this place again to see if their vegetarian noodles are good and to continue to support this restaurant during these unforeseen circumstances."

"Solid pho for solid price.Came here with my dad for breakfast. Ordered the number 12 large. Service was super quick and the lady who served us was really nice. I also ordered a cafe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee) to go. What I like about this place is that they give you the coffee to brew and mix yourself. You can make it however strong you want.The pho here is super solid. They gave a lot more than I expected for a "large" which was a medium since they have an XL bowl. I was a lot more full than I thought I'd be.Overall, a great place for pho!!"

"KATY, TX 77449 / GUANGXI, SOUTH CHINA CUISINE / 08-24-23 / TAKEOUT DINNER+The rice noodle portions are great; very filling.+It's awesome that a South China regional cuisine has established itself in the Katy Asian Town & Marketplace shopping district. I know there is another location in the Bellaire area, and I hope they continue to grow/expand their businesses.+The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean, with a nice layout.+The takeout packaging was well-prepared.-The bone broth was a little too salty for our liking. Other than the high sodium content, the soups were very flavorful and full of umami.-The chicken wings appetizer left a lot to be desired. The quality of the wings used was terrible, and there was too much fat and breading. Skip this appetizer. Maybe get the Taiwanese popcorn chicken instead?-Some random menu items; i.e., tater tots. Would love to see some more traditional Southern Chinese dishes on the menu, even in the appetizers section.-The website could use some improvement, including some better descriptions of the menu offerings, if they would like to expand their customer demographics.What we ordered:'1 A6. Fried Chicken Wings $6.99'1 D1. Losifen Rice Noodle with Vegetables $12.85'1 E1. Bone Broth Rice Noodle with Char Siu $10.85'1 E4.

"We stopped by here because our car was parked in the garage across the street and we were hungry and craving Thai. Absolute GEM! Our server was super sweet and sat us right away, drinks came out right after. Service was overall quick! The ambiance was peaceful and very private as we were the only ones for the first half of our meal. We got the egg rolls, FIRE! 9.5/10! They came piping hot with a yummy sweet chili dipping sauce. I got a Thai tea and my husband got a Perrier. I really liked the Thai tea, definitely a 9.5/10! I got the Tom Yum shrimp, I loved it! 9.5/10, one of my favorite ones out of the 20+ restaurants I've tried over the years! My husband got the pineapple fried rice, he gave it a 8/10, he said it was good! I also got the mango sticky rice to go and it was divine! 10/10, I'll be back just for that!"

Sambal Chef

★★★★★ 4.7 (104) • $$

"Sambal Chef gives me hope for the Malaysian food scene in Houston metropolitan area and has steadily grown their following by showcasing some legit SE Asian fare. Considering most of the Malaysian / Singaporean establishments have made their mark in the burbs, it's no surprise they've become one of the true gems of Pearland. Their interior is small and the seating is probably meant for 20 at best. The vibe is mom-and-pop with a casual feel, which is really ideal for the neighborhood. Takeout is big here, but I have always maintained their best output is during their dine-in service.I'm pleased to report the food has not been watered down to accommodate western palates. The sambal (chili shrimp paste) has a good amount of funk and the potency is serious enough to give so many of their dishes a very distinct flavor profile. I love starting things off with their roti canai, which is airy and fluffy, with just enough crispy edges that soaks into the curry sauce so wonderfully. Beef rendang is one of the motherland's most recognizable dishes and they do it well here: tender, flavorful, and a tad greasy for my liking. Their char kway teow is comfort food in the form of noodles and the mee goreng / nasi lemak are in similar company.I am a big fan of their sambal fish fillet, which is probably their top seafood item. All of the satays are winners, but especially the beef. Their kampung crispy chicken was recommended to me by the staff, which was good but I do wish there was more meat. Their hainan chicken is classic and the salted egg calamari is definitely worth trying. Folks who are on the hunt for Singapore chili crab can find it here. There is no denying this place is the real deal.Service has always been kind with me. While I think the prices are a tad high, I think that's the way it is with practically every place of quality at this point. Parking can be a challenge when the plaza is busy but I've found the easiest time to be here to be on weeknights. For fans of Malaysian fare, I suggest coming here and ordering a feast with a group of hungry diners (#1). It'll be the highlight of the week.__________(#1) And invite me. Please."

Hong Kong's Cafe 香港茶餐廳

"I know nothing about Hong Kong Style food. Don't quote me on my experience. I have been waiting to dine in at Hong Kong's Cafe for over 3 years. This restaurant was takeout only after restaurant restrictions during later half of Covid pandemic. Prior to that, it was open with limited time and menu. Very hard to match with my schedule. Dining room was opened very recently, as I lost track because it's tucked away at DiHo Square. I came here early this week as I was dodging from the thunderstorm. I wanted some noodles. I have been wanting to try Hong Kong style spaghetti. I tried it in San Francisco Bay Area last year and loved it. So, I ordered Curry Chicken Spaghetti. Oh. My. Gawd. I stared at the dish wondering. I took a photo and a video to share on YouTube. I got so many comments and over 1k views. This is what prompted me to write this review. This is the nastiest food I have ever had. It's consisted of chicken nuggets and french fries dredged in watered-down curry sauce. Spaghetti was over cooked. When I first walked in, waitress asked if I been there before. She would recommend the Peking Duck dish. Because the sign said CASH ONLY, I told her not this time because I had limited funds. After I finished as I walked out, there was a sign say Zelle. Ah, she should had told me earlier. I would had tried the Peking duck. Maybe the experience would be better than what I ordered."

"I must say, your establishment is exceptionally clean, inviting, and exudes a friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home.Upon arrival, my party and I were promptly seated and attended to with our choice of beverages. The service was attentive and courteous, creating a positive first impression.Now, let me tell you about the food. We decided to start with some appetizers and ordered the Crab Rangoon and Fried Dumplings. The Crab Rangoon was absolutely divine! The texture was incredibly soft and flaky, almost melting in our mouths. The filling was perfectly balanced, not overpowering but just enough to savor its flavors. In fact, I was so impressed that I would gladly return to your restaurant solely to indulge in five orders of Crab Rangoon alone.While the Fried Dumplings were good, they didn't quite match up to the exceptional quality of the Crab Rangoon. However, they were still enjoyable and contributed to our overall dining experience.Moving on to the main course, one of us ordered the Pad Thai, specifically requesting it to be spicy. The dish was prepared to perfection, with the right amount of heat and a harmonious blend of flavors. It was evident that great care was taken in its preparation. I really enjoyed the Pad see ewOverall, the dining experience at your restaurant was outstanding. The combination of a clean environment, inviting ambiance, and friendly staff created a welcoming atmosphere that made our visit memorable. The Crab Rangoon, in particular, left a lasting impression on our taste buds."

Looking forward to return and try out other dishes. Place was busy when we got there at 7PM but we got seated pretty quick after a ten minute wait. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was good- solid Cantonese style claypot rice and claypot cheung fun. Wish they have more vegetarian options.Will make this place as part of our rotations whenever we find ourselves in Chinatown."

Pho 99 & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (34)

"We have been coming here for quite some time now, this is my third review here because I like coming back to update reviews for places I frequent. There was one time that we weren't the biggest fan of the food or service. We had came in and the staff were all different and the food tasted different, if I can remember right the music was even different. We didn't come back for quite some time after that because it saddened us that things were so different. But, the next time we went we brought my father and his wife (who is generally very picky and critical of things) and they loved the food and the service and food was back to what we were used to. My brothers order are the eggs rolls as an appetizer which he ADORES and the rockin chicken. He recently asked me if he could get the egg scrambled instead, which we did and he loves the way it tastes scrambled. I get the P4 with extra meat, I squeeze in a lime, throw on some of the hoisin sauce, and throw some of the vegetables from the side plate. My youngest brother gets the same order as me, kids size, and he puts some sriracha sauce in it.Overall, aside from that one time, the service is always incredible, the food is incredible, and our time there is amazing. When I go tell my brother we're going to pho 99, his eyes light up and he gets ready instantly to go out. I cannot recommend this place enough. We absolutely love it."

The Nines Thai Cuisine

"Thai food that's not too expensive and tastes amazing? Yep, this place has that.Ever since coming here for the first time a few months ago, my husband and I now frequent this place. It's hands down the best Thai food in sugar land. We usually get their pad Thai, massaman curry and their Tom yum soup.At a lot of thai restaurants, I feel like the pad thai is too sweet. The Nines does a great job at making sure their pad thai has the perfect sweetness/tamarind mix. It's flavorful and well portioned for the price, the massaman curry is creamy and delicious, and you'll usually have enough to take home unless you're really hungry! The Tom yum soup is simple and comforting, and makes you salivate with each spoonful.Definitely come check this casual thai restaurant out! Not only is their food great, the service is incredible every time."

North Harbor Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (175)

"I guess this restaurant just wasn't for me, they did have a few people there when we arrived and they had multiple people picking up to go food. So this is just simply my opinion because obviously others did like it. I ordered the Hot & Sour Soup I did not like it at all I tried eating it but the smell was overwhelming. It's an acquired taste for sure and I would never order it again. We also had an appetizer which was an egg roll, wonton and fried shrimp this was the best of everything I had I actually ate all of it. My entree was the sweet and sour pork with fried rice, I've had better at other places I didn't like the rice the pork was ok I think I was just over it because the soup was just horrible for my tastebuds. The service was really good they came to clear the table often and refilled our drinks. The ambiance is nothing to brag on I myself wouldn't try it again but I would suggest others do because they did have a lot of people picking up orders."

"I've gotten into Korean food lately and one main dish that I wanted to try authentically was Jjajangmyeon, which is a black bean noodle dish. The black bean sauce consists of pork, vegetables, tons of onions and the black bean sauce itself. The noodles were chewy and delicious. Paik's Noodle was the perfect place to try that. They have a couple of other dishes that I wanted try called Jjamppong, which is a spicy soup. Jajang Bap is also another great dish."

"This is simply a go-to spot in town! It's got a great atmosphere, chic decor for a Pho spot and MUCH cheaper than most of your new "hip" pho spots in central Houston.I am a big advocate of their spring rolls because they use their banh mi meat and it is just out of this world! I haven't found many spots that serve a more unique menu of spring rolls.Their pho is delicious, it's got plenty of flavor and a great feel good dish after a busy week.I highly recommend this place, the people here are so welcoming!"
