Walked in here on a Sunday morning and there was no wait. I placed my order with the staff and I was given a buzzer to let me know when my order was ready. It took about 5 minutes or less to get my order. Before I could even taste it, everything looked delicious. I was super happy they have a combo option because that way I could try their other food items. I don't mind having half a sandwich because the fries were enough with it. The banh mi was amazing! From the bread to the ingredients, I was extremely impressed. The meat and fresh vegetables were a good ratio. The garlic aioli mayo/butter was tasty. The bread, oh my goodness the bread! The bread was the highlight of the banh mi. The inside was soft while the outside was warm and toasted perfectly. I can rarely find a place that serves you fresh bread like they do here. The sidewinder fries were made by order so it came out hot and crispy fried; just the way I like it! My favorite was the Special! I liked the grilled Pork, too. The lychee tea was refillable and that was awesome. There was plenty of space to move around and seats were available outside with a roof.

Great spot to get a banh mi in Houston! I've ordered lunch from here a few times and it's consistently delicious, and we also had a good experience dining in for the first time recently. My go-to order is the grilled pork banh mi, which comes with jalapeños, cucumbers, pickled carrots, cilantro, soy sauce, and garlic aioli. The pork is super flavorful, and the garlic aioli compliments it so well along with the crisp cucumbers.

I selected the chopped ribeye box with an extra side of egg rolls. All was fresh and flavorful... This was my first time at Roosters, and it reminded me of a Vietnamese Chipotle. You can pick your base and meat. Service was fast as I ordered all to go... I highly recommend trying if you are into Vietnamese food...

The facility was clean, but the food was just okay (with the exception of the fries). The bulgogi fries were amazing, I've never had fries cut like that. The bahn mi didn't taste bad but it it wasn't good, it had a weird after taste. The wings were just alright.

It's a cool, fast casual place. I like that I could make my own box and pick my rice and protein. I went with pork. It was good. A little fatty but flavorful. The fried rice was just ok. It was a little under cooked but not bad. The cashier was friendly and answered our questions. It was clean and they were playing good music. Not sure I would pick it over other similar places in the city, but if I were in the area I would return.

The grilled pork banh mi was a hit: nicely toasted baguette, flavorful protein, and plenty of toppings. Not the most authentic, but made for a tasty lunch.The chicken thigh box was not my fave despite generous portions of meat and rice plus a yummy egg roll. I wasn't in love with the texture of the chicken, but my husband didn't seem to mind it.The sides looked great -- I wasn't hungry enough to add any to my order, but would be down for sampling the fries or corn next time.If you're looking for easy takeout or a crowd-pleasing Vietnamese-ish lunch meetup spot with friends, this checks all of the boxes.

Located on Navigation in Eado next to the newly gentrified areas and across from Ninfa's. Parking is available easily in the plaza's lot. Interior is a very clean fast casual feel similar to hot chicken restaurants. The menu is a bit interesting, I expected more authentic Vietnamese but it's pretty fusion/ American style. It had sandwiches and meat/rice combo's. We ordered two different banh mi sandwiches and a side of fries. Each sandwich tasted as expected if not slightly below expectation; the banh mi in Bellaire still vastly surpass in terms of flavor. For $8 a sandwich, I honestly expected a bit more. The missing authentic pate was also a bit of a bummer; the Chinatown banh mi usually have a nice slather of the caloric rich goodness. Service is at a minimum like a McDonald's or other fast food spot, you pretty much order, get your food, then put your tray back. Solid 3.5; we weren't impressed but as the only Vietnamese option in the area, they can probably do well.

The Banh mi here is fantastic. Being a huge fan of Banh Mi I didn't think it could be improve anymore but Roostar did it. Every sandwich our table ordered was delicious. The bread is crunchy on the outside, chewy and decadent on the inside. The Garlic Aioli brings the typical Banh Mi over the top from good to amazing. Their fries are fun! Service was great on our visit. After finding out it was our first time, the gentleman took time to explain their menu and which is the best deal to try it all.

I LOVE Roostar. Being Vietnamese, I have pretty high standards (especially when it comes to new or fusion-y concepts). Their banh mi is consistently great, and I love getting the lunch combo with fries. It is also very convenient that my favorite boba shop is next door.One afternoon, the owner, Ronnie, stopped by our table to ask how we were doing. Noticing I was pregnant, he shared that his wife often brought their baby to work. He was so sincere and kind, and clearly cares about connecting with customers. Good food, good people, good family-owned business!

The three stars is for the outdoor patio, the iced coffee, and the wonton chips-- which should be available EVERYWHERE, I loved them so much. The rest of my meal--chicken box with salad and "fried" rice-- was mid. Wouldn't order again. I expected so much more. Now, the service-- multiple people were rude. They need better people on the register bc I felt uncomfortable asking for something as simple as a to go box. I thought I was imagining it, but when I went back outside to my food, another woman exited behind me also complaining about rudeness. Maybe everybody was just having a bad day, so I won't point out specific people but hopefully management brings it up at a team meeting. Thanks!
