The food was overpriced for a pho soup it was 18.99, barely had enough noodles had to ask for extra noodles with an extra charge of $3. Ordered a fried banana dessert the amount of whipped cream that was in the dessert was disappointing, the fried banana was not good. Almost $100 for 2 phos, 2 sodas, and a dessert. This place is overpriced for very basic food.

I came here with some co-workers because they were saying this place had good lunch specials. When we arrived, they were pretty busy for lunch service and gave us a fairly big table for 3 people. I ordered the noodle with grilled chicken and fish sauce. We also ordered some eggrolls to share around the table! Everything was fairly delicious, but the chicken was very dry and there was way too much noodles in the bowl compared to the chicken portion. I definitely would prefer something else like a rice dish instead. The space is very spacious and great for groups of any size to come enjoy a meal together!

Yum, Yum, Yum!!! I came to this restaurant with my work team. It was highly recommended. They have all seem to have been here before, so I was behind on cool restaurants. Glad we came here because this place is great!!! Location: Vietopia is located in a shopping center right off of highway 59. Parking: It's hard to miss so there is plenty of parking at the restaurant in the Shopping Center. Food: * This place has a full bar, so of course, I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini. * For appetizer, I ordered the Egg Rolls and they were delish. You can tell that they were homemade. * For my meal, I also ordered the Pepper Chicken Entrée Dish, which came with brown rice. The portion size was so much so that I had no room for dessert and had some food to take home.Service: The service was great! Our Server was very attentive to our large group. He was also able to recommend great food and drinks.

Hadn't been here in a long time and I am wondering why. We love the food here. We started out with the pork spring rolls and the Vietnamese egg rolls. Just fantastic! I had the Vietnamese hot and sour soup and oh em gee was it so good. Kiddo has the vermicelli pork and egg rolls. Great service! Can't wait to come back.

I was with a large group of friends for the Dragon Dance dinner, and we had so much fun. The performers were amazing! Different groups of dragons along with other characters moved throughout the restaurant and interacted with all of the patrons. What an amazing show.As for the dinner itself, service was frenzied and slow, but it was a crazy busy night. The servers were very friendly and worked hard to keep up with the full house. The food was a mixed bag: the salt and pepper lobster was delicious, as was the curry. The soft-shelled crab was very salty and didn't taste fresh. But most in our group enjoyed their dishes. I'm sure I'll be back :)

Service was very good and food was decent. Pricey food for a strip place restaurant. Sunday lunch was dead - only about 4 tables. Nothing really to bring me back here.

This okay their broth for the pho is great! As for the meat not so much, they put 3-4 pieces of meat in my Pho. The service is 8/10 althought they are busy the service is overall pretty good, can't complain there. I would go here if I don't have any other Pho places near by.

I was craving for Vietnamese food but didn't want to drive to Bellaire or midtown so here I'm am at Vietopia. I picked Flame wok beef vermicelli out of their lunch menu as my server said "it's good, not spicy at all". I love spicy food so he said "I will ask to make it a little spicy for you" He brought me some Vietnamese pickle jalapeños with crunch, vinegar/lime flavor went so well with the buttery garlic sweet flavor of the flame wok beef. It was excellent. What impressed me most was their hospitality. I was greeted with a smile as I entered and the server came promptly to say Hi. He was both knowledgeable of their food and super friendly. He was not annoyed by me asking questions or seeking recommendations off their menu. This made my dinning experience so much better. It is true their food might be slightly pricier compared to other Vietnamese spots in town, and some of the items might be more or less fusion Viet, yet it's delicious and you don't have to order your favorite spring roll as they serve you one at lunch!

It's been years since I last stepped foot in Vietopia (#1). There are still lots of memories for my initial experiences here in Houston. It seems not much has changed: The food is still very sweet, the menu is still super Americanized, the place is still incredibly spacious, and I'm still giving it three stars.There isn't a lot of Viet anything going on in West U, so the many years that they've been able to operate in this space has hopefully been fruitful. The high ceilings, large tables, fun Asian decor pieces are such a vibe. I also like the big bar with the TVs in the back, the big booths, and the general ambiance of this place.It's clear the menu is attributed to the local crowd, as there's almost zero Vietnamese and lots of descriptions of common dishes. It's also written in such a casual way where in the beverage section there's a blurb that says "ice cream additional charge yummy" and random smiley faces =) in the text. There's even a section of the menu thats is called "Just Try It Something Different" which got a good laugh out of my group and I. Overall, the dishes are pricey but the variety is definitely there.My items were across the board: I ordered their stir fried beef thin noodles aka pho xao ($20), Vietnamese crepe aka banh xeo ($18), tomato fried rice (#2), a large soft shell crab ($29), egg rolls ($12), a Vietnamese iced coffee aka caphe sua da and the wok flaming beef aka bo luc lac ($26).The Vietnamese iced coffee was fire. It was velvety with a nearly chocolate like consistency and was full of sugary, condensed milk. Other than that everything was kind of disappointing. The flaming beef was overcooked and caked in an overly sweet sauce, the soft shell crab was decent, and the mussels didn't seem fresh. The egg rolls were solid, but not $3 each solid and the banh xeo was falling apart.Despite the disappointments with the food, the service from Nam was excellent. He was patient with the group and offered suggestions throughout the meal. Polite and professional is the best way to describe his service, which was very much appreciated.They charge an automatic 20% on large groups and there is a take-out fee applied as well. The parking is plentiful. I'm not sure if I'd be quick to return. Perhaps it'll be another decade and a half before I step in here again.__________(#1) 16 years ago: Might not have been an H-Town resident yet but I was still around, young buck.(#2) I genuinely thought this was Mexican rice at first. Turns out they offer jasmine white rice, brown rice, and tomato fried rice.
