Very friendly Vietnamese family restaurant. Delicious food. Would go back for pho next time I'm in town.

Located off the gulf freeway I pass by all the time. I ate here one when they opened but from the looks of it, there might be a change in management. Anyhow, it was as busy as any pho place in Bellaire on a weekend today. Most of the seats were take. U have 2 tables for 2 people and the rest of the tables are set up like community style. U will be seated near strangers. The BBH here is good but lacked spiciness for me. I like my BbH to get my nose runny. It did not happen here. I need more spice. This is after adding about a tablespoon of chili oil and mam tom to my bowl. It's missing a little punch of flavor for me not bad. It came with all the stuff I see a tradition bowl of BBh having. I do not like the meat so I ask to not have that and add extra blood and gio. Next time I'll ask for the ham hock to be cut. Bc the one they have me was so big when I was eating it, the spicy broth splashed in my eye! Give them a try if u like BBH and ur not trying to drive all the way to Bellaire. This is the closest and best tasting BBH on the Se side. I've taste 3 places and this place won in my book. If u know of a better BBh place on this side of town, please let me know!! read more

This is my go-to place when I crave really delicious bun bo hue. I usually get a large size and it is a pretty big portion that leaves me feeling full afterwards. If you get fuller quicker, I would recommend the small. They also have an extra large size if you have a really large appetite as well. As the name implies, there is a limited menu so you will not get a menu from the servers; however, they do have other menu items on the wall for you to look at. You will just get approached and asked what you want with the bun bo hue being the usual thing other guests will order. The service is good and servers usually get food out pretty quick and were helpful when my parents were asking for directions since we were new to the area. There is a lot of seating available and super spacious as well so large parties can be accommodated easily. Parking was easy to find as well. read more

Not bad pho, but not the best either. Maybe I'm just not a huge fan of pho. Anyhow, service was great...the ambiance is that of a fast food restaurant--so don't expect much. They do have a wide variety of teas though, including boba tea. read more

Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 - Bun bo huy - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of the best locations of them all. Also, love that they cut up the pork feet into smaller pieces. (Not pictured). The flavor of the broth is delicious and they put extra lemongrass which enhances the meat. Usually, I order with fewer noodles and forgot to do that this time so there were some noodles left over. I prefer eating veggies more! It did take a minute after sitting down for someone to come over and take our order. I think they switched management or something because we heard them talking behind the counter. Our waiter, bless his heart, tried but messed up our order a few times. We order a small and a medium to eat at the restaurant and then a medium and large to go to bring home. We also got the barbecue spring rolls but he got them wrong because he brought out regular spring rolls. They fixed the order but it took a little while to bring out as we were also done with the noodles. When we went to go pay and get our to-go orders, they said there weren't any. Apparently, he forgot to put in the to-go orders so we waited for a little after paying for them to bring it out. Maybe because he was younger and not paying attention but we would come back for the food. read more

Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 - a bowl of soup and a plate of salad - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

we had never before eaten Vietnamese food and decided to give it a try. The food was very delicious, even though we weren't familiar with exactly what it was, lol. we could easily spot certain ingredients, but there were a few that we didn't really know what they were. Anyway, for a delightful meal, I would encourage you to go here and try their food. It was very good. The atmosphere was nice and we enjoyed it. The service was good. read more

I mean this bowl of soup is delicious but I'm sure there's a lot of MSG. None the less, love the different take on thinner noodles! Thinly slice beef is on point. Your to go chili oil isn't spicy at all though, had to use my own. I will say I love that you separate the shrimp paste and chili oil instead of together. Ordered ours to go, it's still hella good. But if you're sensitive to msg maybe it isn't for you. read more

Duc Chuong III is known to be one of THE spot for Bún No Huế on the southeast side, and as the name denotes, it is the 3rd installment within the small, but well-known franchise--ironically, the establishment pushes out 3 stars at this time, but does that mean it's bad? No. In fact, on its best days the restaurant could easily score 4. So let's jump into the positives. Though you may be able to find these noods at most vietnamese restaurants (specifically ones that serve phở), there's rarely a place that can top a restaurant that pushes all their chips in. The broth should be more rich than your average soup, so expect ingesting double the calories you normally would with a bowl of noodle soup--it's the price you pay for flavor, and expect to add more with the provided shrimp paste and table chili oil. The restaurant caters to quite glutonous appetites as well by offering M, L, XL bowls. Take note that you will not gain more value going up in size (which is a common sales tactic among pho restaurants), which is actually quite nice because it fails to encourage me to go up a size when I actually don't even want to eat that much. Plus, a small bowl here is essentially a large bowl at any typical pho restaurant as a referencing point and that's plenty for little 'ol me. Service is quick and easy. The menu is so short, you should hardly run into any issues and you shouldn't have trouble finding an english speaking waiter (should you need one). Though they do have other options other than Bún No Huế, I would suggest you stick to the theme; just state you want a [insert size] bowl and they'll rightfully assume you're here for the noods. Smoothies are made with real fruit (well, at least I can guarantee the Durian is!), and yes, you can get your Durian shake fix here, my brothering heathens. They sell boba, freshly squeezed juices, and vietnamese coffee, as well. Not the prettiest restaurant. But the system is practical. On a busy day, expect to share elbow space with someone you don't know. Considering how hard good Bún No Huế is to find, this is a solid option. however, lately they keep cutting the amount of ingredients they give you ontop of raising prices. I don't mind paying $12 for a bowl I can barely finish, but my soup had better not be as bland as it was this particular day... read more

Very straightforward restaurant- really they only serve Bun bo Hue and a handful of others. Servers will come right up and ask you what your order is without giving you a menu (we didn't know this LOL) BBH meats are soooooooo incredibly tender. Very yummy. In my opinion, I like my broth spicier but for the price, this place hit the spot! read more

I love their bùn bo huế here. In my opinion, it's the best one I've had in Houston. (Unless I find a better one) The staff here will acknowledge always. Even though the menu is short, it's because their focus is going to be on the bùn bo huế. read more

If you're into something bold and Vietnamese, bun bo hue is the way to go. There are three locations as far as I can remember, one in bellaire, one up north on 249, and this location. This one is the best out of the three imo. Full of spices, that satisfy the palette. I love to add veggies, lime and don't forget the CHILI OIL. I normally put in about a tea spoon, but if you want it extra spicy feel free to add more. You know a place is good when they basically only sell one item. There's 3 bowl sizes, the large is HUGE. Would not recommend unless you're in for a food coma afterwards lol. Enjoy! read more

Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

We come here frequently to satisfy our BBH cravings! There's really only one item on their menu and the BBH is what they are known for. Their nuoc mac is worth a try as well. The restaurant has plenty of seating even during peak lunch hours and service is usually quick. They also do take out orders too. Highly recommend! read more

First time here. Parking is ample in this plaza. Right when you walk in the fragrant is super potent meaning the soup is very rich in flavor. They have a very small menu but their main in Bun Bo Hue (Vietnamese spicy soup) not spicy at all in the original broth but the sate chili that you cAn add is very good sate and is spicy to give it a kick. They also do a big/small party size pot for togo parties. Although i may have to add that their Nuoc Mat( detox drink) is not what its advertised. The ingredients in it is all but corn syrup(sugar) tapioca and basil seed. read more

Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Probably more of a 3.5 stars. Let me preface this review in saying I'm not a huge fan of bun bo hue but when I do eat it, I get it from here. I don't really like the pigs blood or pig knuckles so I only eat the beef shank and cha. This place was super packed on Sunday so if you don't mind sharing a table, have a seat and enjoy. The soup comes in 3 sizes: small, large, and XL. My only complaint is I wish the broth came out a little hotter. Beware of the splash. Wearing a white shirt is not advised unless you want stains on your shirt. It hits the spot if you're looking for something soupy that's not your typical pho or ramen. read more

Hmm....Havn't I been in a place like this before? Oh yea, there is one right by my residence by the Willowbrook area, you know, the one where you come in and can order anything you want, just as long as it's Bun Bo Hue. Yep, that's all you get. It's kind of awkward when you know there are no other soups, rice dishes, you sit down and they ask you "What would you like to eat?"....uh..is that a trick question? Actually, they do have spring rolls which looks really good, nice big in what seems two "13 count" shrimp and the accompanying sauce looks well thought of. It has your usual peanutty brown sauce with a touch of the spicy chili peppers but something different that it seems they use to touch it off, I believe it is fried shallots or onions, whatever it was, it was brown and curly. They also have fried egg rolls here but do NOT expect quality on that one, order it, I dare you, you'll see what I mean. It's not your run of the mill Vietnamese egg roll but looked like something someone hastilly put together in the back, skinny, thick skinned won type wrap. Smoothy drinks and tapioca are also served here, it's a soup place so don't expect stellar but I was not disappointed in the actual tapioca balls, I have had worse. The only thing that I wish everybody would change is they always put too much d5mn syrup in these things, too sweet for Pete's sake! What part of "please tell them to not make it sweet, just a tad bit amount of sugar", oh well, at least I can get my tapioca fix here rather than going down the road to that place that smells like buttocks when you first walk in the door. You people that live and work around here know where exactly I am talking about. There are two sizes of Bun Bo Hue's. The small which might be a little too large if you are of small stature and then there is "omfg I can't believe I ordered that" half gallon size. Don't say I didn't warn you. Parking is ample for the business. The lot is shared by other businesses but it does not seem to get too crowded in here but this coming from somebody that came here twice at about 1:00 p.m. when the lunch crowd probably has already left, maybe somebody else here can tell you different. Want a review of the bathroom? Ok here it goes, it's a new building, new interior, new bathroom but not kept up to par. It is not "Taco Cabana" nasty yet but it will get there, yes I said it, Taco Cabana all seem to have the nastiest restrooms just to wash your hands, getting off topic aren't I? Also if you read this before going in, do yourself a favor, bring yourself a napkin otherwise you will find yourself opening the door with your hand and dirtying it up again or using toilet paper to open the door but then you will be shaking bits of T T paper off till you get to your table. Who the h3ll reviews and talks about bathrooms? I do, I like to wash my hands before I eat, don't you? Yes, I thought so. Service, typical Asian service but at least they do not frown or smirk when you ask for something. I gave up expecting service at Asian restaurants so that I will not feel disappointed when something is missed or wrong so when something does go right it's a plus. I'm giving my Asian counterparts a handicap on that. I forget to get the breakdown on the prices but for three bowls of "small" pffft Bun Bo Hue', one canned coke, one tapioca (green tea may I add), an Iced Tea, an order of spring rolls and an order of egg rolls came out to $31.XX, not too bad, let's call this "average price". Another thing I would like to add is at least there are about 3 televisions on American stations and not some "wth am I watching circa del sol ala psuedo Asian" but with "Closed Caption". It is nice to be able to look up and grab what is going on around the world while you take breaths in between your bites, unfortunately the mass killing of the movie theatre go'ers kind of spoiled the mood to watch but life is life. Cleanliness, it's not really dirty inside but definitely not kept up for a place that just opened but it's all about the training of your crew and if the owners really care if their place is spotless or the authentic Asian state of "it's ok, we'll take care of the floors and tables at the end of the day". Oh, one thing that I felt good when I turned around when my back was towards the kitchen was I saw people back there with GLOVES! My co workers love this place, everybody keeps on wanting to go back even though it is probably loaded with M S G, but you are going to die from something anyways correct? =============================================== Tip for new YELPERS: Have you noticed that some of your reviews got filtered? It may be because you havn't gotten out of the probatory "dozen" reviews yet, and I don't mean the reviews that are just two or three lines. Nobody really is sure of the parameters but the more you are active the less likely you will be filtered. read more

All I have to say is this is the best BBH ever. I do admit it's better to go than it is when you have it at the Resturant ... idk how or why. Maybe because when we to go it we had it warm and didn't kill our tastebuds. But I still love this place read more

Best BBH in town, better than any spot in Bellaire's for sure. Broth was so rich and savory, they pack the soup with generous amounts of meats and other ingredients. Don't forget to ask for steamed bean sprouts and make sure to add the shrimp paste and chili sauce for the best tasting experience. I also like to order nuoc mat; so refreshing and prefect complimentary drink for the soup! Enjoy! read more

Ahhh love me some BBH! We just landed and first thing I wanted was something soupy and comforting. Perfect place. It wasn't too busy on. Saturday afternoon so we got sat right away. I got the small bowl and the mister got the regular (medium) size. Both looked plentiful! Man o man how I've missed it. The other locations over the years has fell short of flavor and this spot always gets it right. Perfect amount of spice and super savory. Also very aromatic too! Love the fresh veggies with it, we had to ask for a 2nd plate because the mister didn't wanna share! lol no worries. Service was quick and efficient. Very friendly. $17 and some change for 2 bowls was a very affordable and delish lunch! read more

If you've ever wanted bun bo hue in Houston, you've probably heard of this place. Obviously they're so successful that this is their 3rd location all the way out in Pasadena. Crowded for a Sunday morning but we were sat immediately. The waitstaff will ask you what to order as soon as you sit down, because their menu is limited and most guests already know what they want. I think a small is a good size for BBH for lunch for me, because I ordered the medium size and it was massive and i couldn't finish it. The large is a HUGE bowl. Skip the cha gio fried eggrolls. not worth the stomach space and the price. Extremely cheap and definitely hits the spot. read more

Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 - Post #HurricaneHarvey crowd. - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

There are only two sizes: Small and Large. I was actually considering ordering a large but reconsidered knowing I am in Houston. When they brought out my dad's large bowl, I was surprised they didn't call that an XL. So beware, even a small is plentiful. Actually digging around in the bowl, it was 'filled' just right for me. I am normally a noodle and veggie girl. I don't sip all the broth but a spoonful for each bite is sufficient for me. I like that there is room to throw in all the veggies and your bowl still have room. I read on Yelp about their 'nuoc mat' which is translated 'refreshing beverage'. It comes in one-size huge to- go cup filled with basil seed, Vietnamese jello, assortment of tropical SE Asian fruits, and crushed ice. We bought one for my step-mom and she loved it. She even attempted to create her version of their nuoc mat. It was good but not as good as Duc Chuong's. I'm not sensitive to MSG but I was definitely sleepy after a small bowl and a nuoc mat! All my friends know I have droopy eyes after a good meal! read more

So, Bun Bo Hue is Pho's distant cousin. It was a pleasant surprise to come to Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 here in Houston, TX and not have to have Pho all the time. It 'twas the best of times really. Hanging out with a friend for lunch is the best. I arrived here on a nice Tuesday afternoon for lunch with a friend of mine, who graciously took time out from work to hang out. It was almost 2pm, but it certainly was a nice quick lunch before he had to get back to work nearby. The restaurant seemed relatively new, spacious and just clean. Like brand spanking new, but I'm assuming that they have been around for a while. The ambiance of bun bo hue Duc Chuong 3 was reserved, quiet, and really casual. The restaurant was just kind of remarkable, since it was just well taken care of. The experience here overall was good, neat, positive, and quite fast. Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 is conveniently located at 12804 Guld Highway here in Houston, right along the I-45 corridor. They greatly accept credit cards, which is always a good plus. The prices here are rather good, raising the bar for a lot of Vietnamese Chinese restaurants to just up their game and be on it. My visit to Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 was complete when I ordered my first milk tea ever. Yes, I went there. And while milk tea has its supporters and all, I felt like I could have done better with a Starbucks tea lemonade or something. It was not good. Although the boba was alright and squishy to eat, the entire notion of the milk tea seemed to be just another notion of just "leave it alone", if you can help it. I can appreciate good cuisine and, while Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 delivers, it can be just a little average. It's still a delight to be here, but it's just comfort food for the most part. My friend ordered for me, which the bun bo hue was served in 3 bowl sizes. I picked the medium sized one, since I wasn't a real fan, just liked it from time to time. It was spicy as bun bo hue is usually. It's usually a quick meal as pho and bun bo hue normally is. The service was good yet average. If you are here for a quick bite, be sure to enjoy the experience and not really rush it through. Sometimes, the best things in life are spent with friends and good food - at least that's what I have come to realize! I'd recommend Bun Bo Hue Duc Chuong 3 for a good bowl of fun and hearty goodness, but realistically, it's just your average place. Still good though. Support local! B- read more

We came here on a windy day, after 40 minutes driving from Sugar Land only only received frustration! My gf ordered a small bowl, and I ordered the largest size because I was craving for Bun Bo Hue lately. We asked them not to put oil broth on our bowls (in case you dont know, the cook will pour lots of oil broth to your bowl, and this is the norm for Bun Bo Hue). We also asked them to bring us extra plate of veggie when they brought out a small plate of veggie that cannot be smaller. 8 minutes later, our bowls were ready at the cashier section. However, it took the waiter another 5 minutes to bring it to our table. By that time, the bowl is already cold. To my surprise, it was super cold, way too oily (as in picture). The extra veggie they brought out was even smaller than the first one (i swear, my 5-year-old niece could finish both of them without any issue) We will be coming here again, as we believe it was just a bad day for them. But when? I wonder... read more
