Baoz Dumpling

★★★★☆ 3.9 (96) • $

"Great place to get your fill of dumplings at a good price. On my recent visit, I had a vermicelli bowl with grilled pork. Very good, but I miss the dumplings. I will have to order them next time.One thing about the menu is that Baoz offers many different combo items, but mainly with bahn mi sandwiches and spring rolls. Dumplings are mostly all by themselves. I would love to see a bahn mi/dumpling combo."

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."

Bodard Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.6 (194) • $

"3-3.5 stars, but rounding up since their Nem Nướng Cuon is really good for Texas. However, if you're expecting Brodard from Orange County, you'll be disappointed. Once I stopped comparing, I was able to enjoy their nem nướng. We stopped by to pick up some items and called in ahead of time. They weren't busy around 5pm on a Monday, and our order was ready quickly. We tried:-Nem Nướng Cuon (Grilled Pork Spring Rolls, $6, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=t2qmuppJcOX7God9i_AvPQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Pretty good, and they didn't skimp on the meat in the spring rolls. The rolls were a little unevenly rolled, but at least it was tightly rolled. All the ingredients were really fresh. The dipping sauce was a little sweeter than I would have liked, but nothing some sriracha can't fix.-Nem Nướng Cuon (Grilled Pork Spring Rolls) To Go Kit: I can't remember how much this was, but we loved how neatly packaged everything was! We made more spring rolls the next day, and it actually tasted better for some reason. If you're looking for a nem nướng fix in Texas, I would recommend checking out Bodard. They only have indoor dining available at this time, and all their staff that I saw were wearing masks. There were plenty of parking spots available in their shared lot."

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."

"Finally had a chance to try this place and I'm pretty surprised. Unfortunately their menu was limited but the bun and the com tam were great! The place reminds me of a cafe! Wish the tables and seats were cleaner but aside from that, food was flavorful! The cafe sua da was strong!! Overall, good service, food was kinda pricey for chinatown, food was good, 4 stars firm"

Yummy Pho & Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (110)

"The neighborhood gem you've been searching for...Located in an unassuming Kroger strip center, one might expect average, run of the mill mediocre Chinese food, and one would be sorely mistaken. Don't let the simple decor fool you... this Pho is perfection.Halfway through the bowl, you feel how special it is... you know this rich broth was lovingly crafted from scratch, in house, from real bones that have been simmered a full 24 hours. You know it was made from an old, traditional recipe, and you feel lucky you found this bowl... and you don't ever want to live in a world without it. Yes, it's that good.The Yummy Chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the grilled steak (ribeye) hot plate with noodles was outstanding. The steak, prepared Taiwanese style, was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were pure savory comfort.Service was gracious and personable.We are thrilled that the best Pho in the Houston area is right here, just south of The Woodlands. Well worth the drive for anyone in search of the kind of Pho that will keep you coming back for more."

Pho Viet & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (59)

"1. Service - staff has varied. Each time I've been here, it's somebody different. The owners though are nice and kind. This place is A-la-Carte, which means you order and pay at your table. If anyone is looking for a job, they are hiring! 2. Price - prices are higher than in Chinatown, but considering the new times and the price hike at the grocery stores, this is actually not too bad. We're looking at $12-$17 for a main entree per person. 3. Ambiance - this place is modern and hip. Dress code is casual. Come as you are. 4. Food - I highly recommend their AVOCADO SMOOTHIE! It's as good as it gets. As for food, I have tried their Chargrilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl. This is legit Vietnamese food. There's not a lot of options for Viet food in this area, so if you crave any, feel free to try this place out. For vegetarian options, my wife has tried their Tofu Sandwich, and their Tofu Vermicelli bowl. Also tasty according to her. I haven't tried their pho yet, but will have to try that next. 5. Cleanliness - we have only done take outs since the Pandemic. But for the few times we've been here, the dining area appears clean."

"5 stars for vibes and service - love the livelihood here! Unlike most Vietnamese restaurants this definitely brings a bar/nightlife scenery with lots of big TVs. Parking is available on both sides of the restaurant. There is both indoor and outdoor seating (heat lamps available on patio), and good for both larger groups and kids/families. A very well-rounded restaurant I must say!Remember this is "bar food" so don't expect the entrees to blow you away. Food was decently priced but I thought they were just okay. Some of the meat in the vermicelli bowl was hard to eat and the dumplings and spring rolls were not much more than what I can make myself at home. Something notable were QUART sizes available for Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee - I'll be ordering these for takeout one day. The dessert was the main seller for me so save room if you can - Vietnamese coffee tiramisu cake was everything I wanted and more!"

"Cool modern Vietnamese restaurant in the Heights. We've been hearing rave reviews about this place, so we were excited to finally check it out.We went on a Saturday night with a reservation, and the place was popping. The place has a very modern aesthetic - definitely not your typical Vietnamese joint..Our server was very friendly and prompt. We got the spring rolls and banh xeo tostada for starters. The spring rolls were pretty basic while the tostada was a fun take on traditional ban banh xeo. For mains, we ordered family style. We got the clay pot fish, shaken beef, and salt pepper squid. The favorite was definitely the squid - everything was perfect including the green sauce and the addition of the confit garlic. Not your typical salt pepper squid for sure. The clay pot fish was also good, and the beef was super tender on the Bo luc lac. We also got the Thai tea crème brûlée for dessert which was just delightful.This place definitely has great iterations of traditional dishes. I'll definitely be back for date night or even just a group dinner with friends. Definitely recommend!"

"The service here is good as they are very attentive and friendly. I wouldn't call it pricey because they give a pretty big portion of food. I had enough to eat here and to take home. Everything was really fresh. They offer a wide variety of dishes on their menu, including Pho. The restaurant itself was really clean and so were the bathrooms. The only reason for four stars is because I haven't tried enough dishes to say five but my experience was really good. I will be back to update my review."

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."

"Bread taste fresh! We got a Beef and Fried Tofu Banh Mi. The veggies tasted fresh and the carrots were pickled like they should be! The service was great, fast and restaurant was clean. Would come back here again. only thing to make the banh mi better would be adding extra or more butter to the sandwich!"

"Banh mi for $5. Cash only. They make the sandwiches in front of you. I recommend #1 the cold cuts. I also tried #2 BBQ pork, but it wasn't that good. It was a peppery flavor. This banh mi place is inside the Hong Kong Market, so it's a bit of a walk from the entrance."

Roostar Vietnamese Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (1674) • $$

"I think this is the original Roostar formerly known as Vietnam Poblano. It was surprising to walk in on a Tuesday night and note banh mi shop without any Vietnamese workers. The kitchen is a lot larger than you would expect from a banh mi shop, and I didn't see anything specific on the menu that would require that many people so they must do a lot of volume during the day.Their prices are more expensive than the typical Bellaire or Midtown shop, but their sandwiches are larger and they fill them well. They have two kinds of tofu sandwiches, one that is lemon pepper while the other is garlic butter. You can also get both, and you should get both to get the best tofu banh mi in Houston."

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."

"I'm a fan! I've passed this place plenty of times and today I told mom - we're going! I wasn't feeling well at all and I just knew pho would do the trick! As soon as we walked in Jimmy got the door for us. So polite and kind. After chatting, he told me he's the chef. I told him I need a quick fix for my body pains. The pho did not take long to arrive at all. Some people might think I'm crazy for eating hot pho in this hot weather but I broke a sweat and I think that's what I needed. This pho healed me! Thank you Jimmy! I would come back just for Jimmy anyway. He rocks! The place is nice too. Very nice lighting in the dining area and in the bathrooms too! Now I can continue to run my errands feeling better!"

Cajju Seafood and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (134) • $$

"We found Cajju through Yelp (how shocking lol) no but we were excited to find this restaurant. My mama and I wanted two different things. Cajju is BYOB and there is no fee to bring in alcohol/wine. That's a perk. We were greeted immediately by Steve and he was kind and attentive. He also shared that it was his first day. He went above and beyond to answer our questions. We really appreciated that. We ordered fried pickles, wings, shrimp fried rice, and a shrimp poboy. We learned that on Thursday's the wings are a dollar, cool deal for those that eat wings. Mama prefers all flats and that's not an option here, but she said they were okay. The fried rice was good along with the poboy. The fried shrimp are huge and the French baguette is a lot of bread. Overall, Cajju is a cool spot if you're looking for some seafood and want a place that allows you to bring in your own drinks. The vibe was chill and the place wasn't packed at all."

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."

Pho 9

"You've got to have respect for the pho shops that have one person cooking, cleaning, and answering phones all at the same time! The pho broth here is very flavorful, and the meat cuts are actually pretty good. I'm not usually one to favor brisket over the usual rare steak or meatballs, but my husband and I both agreed the brisket here is particularly delicious. We also got the fried egg rolls, which were a little oily but SO tasty and crispy. The chef is so nice and so friendly! She was all laughs and smiles while cooking and serving tables by herself. There was a little bit of a language barrier but she was just the sweetest! You can tell she makes her food with love; the pho tastes like it was homemade, and I mean that in the best way possible. It is a tad pricier than other pho places, but we expected that since it has such a convenient location right off I-10. For the homemade taste and the great service, I'd say it's worth it. We will definitely be back!"

Further evidence that Houston is the best place for Vietnamese food because it's so good and so authentic that it's the only place I will get this now, and I'm talking about anywhere in the country."

"I've been to the Alvin location quite a few times, so I was super stoked when they opened one closer to home. Their rock and roll beef dish is really good. Super tender, flavorful, and garlicky, just how I like it. I ordered a side of pho broth with meatballs to compliment my rice dish. Perfect combo. Their pho broth always hits home for me. The dumplings appetizer is a must order. Super crispy. The best thing about this restaurant is they use absolutely no MSG. Servers are friendly and food came out quick."

Pho Zen

"I finally made it to the 2nd location of Pho Zen and ordered something other than Pho. I'm no vietnamese food expert, but I took a chance to see if they can excel at something other than soup. So I went with the grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli to be exact. The dish comes in a bowl with grilled green onions, crushed peanuts and thinly sliced carrots on the side, all sitting on a bed of lettuce and diced cucumbers. It also comes with a small bowl of fish sauce with more thinly sliced carrots in it.The egg roll tasted very fresh with plenty of diced pork inside it. The best part for me was the chargrilled pork pieces, very tasty, tender and some fattiness to give it great flavor.Service was excellent at this location as well. They even gave me a to-go cup of tea when I was leaving without even asking me. It's like they read my mind!"

"FYI: This Pho restaurant is under new management and he has brought his cooking skills for us to enjoy. Best Pho in the northwest part of houston!!!!!!!!! And one of Top 5 pho places in Houston in my opinion. I had have been here recently and had Pho dac biet (the pho with all the meat) and the Pho Bo Vien ( the pho with the beef meat ball) . Pho dac biet: 5/5. The meat was all very tender and juicy . The broth has to be one of best broths I have ever tasted. The broth was light and not heavy with the right Amount of seasoning. I walked out feeling good and not super bloated like other pho places . Pho Bo vien: 5/5. The broth was good too like pho dac Biet but came with yummy beef meatballs instead . Both were good ! Service was fast and friendly:5/5 Price: 5/5. Was the cheapest I have seen in that area . Parking : 5/5. There was plenty of parking since The parking lot was big. Restroom: 5/5. It was clean . So yes , it's definitely the Pho place to go now for me and my family!!!!!!!!!!Definitely stop by if you are in the northwest part of Houston."

Pho Mai Tai

"Came here for the first time with my wife. Ordered the beef combination, fried spring rolls, bbq pork banh mi, and bbq chicken vermicelli. We also ordered some Vietnamese coffee. Everything was crazy delicious. They had all the condiments that I needed to make my special dipping sauce and the pho broth was on point. The banh mi bread was so warm and crunchy soft. The vermicelli would probably be better with bbq pork instead. Highly recommend this place.Moving here from Hawaii eating legit dishes, then moving to Texas where food were tasty, but not the same. This place reminds me of home. Food were all fantastic, portions were big and for a reasonable price.All the staff were friendly and fast. Large parking lot and lots of tables and chairs."
