Came here for the 1st time since the new owner took place. The service was awesome. Staff was so friendly and suggested that I tried the Special PHO. Which comes with free fruit drink per order. The fruit drink was so refreshing and so GOOD. I have to say the PHO was so good and I am glad I tried. I am very seldom give restaurant a 5 stars but this is the one that I believe truly deserves a 5!! Price was right, services awesome and food was very good. Definately come back again. read more

Love Vietnamese restaurants that specialize in hard to find dishes such as bun mang. The noodle soup itself is very clean, simple, and comforting. It doesn't have too much of a pungent aroma as I'd usually expect from bamboo. The duck salad is light, refreshing, and plated nicely. The duck was cut in an easy to eat manner which I always appreciate. The ginger fish sauce on the side was delicious. I would've liked more banana flower in the salad personally. The egg rolls here have a unique crispy texture to them which I quite liked thanks to the rice paper wrapping. Came with much more greens than needed! Very affordable place to eat by the way! read more

Honestly I am not well versed in bun mang vit. I really enjoyed this dish. My bf and I split a large. Good portion of noodles and duck. I wish there was more bamboo shoot, but again, I am not sure what is traditional. The side sauce is delicious and pairs well. Intrigued to come back and try more of the menu. read more

My family suggested trying this spot out for UberEats since there's a discount if food was ordered between 2-5 pm. We ordered the following items: - Broken Rice with Pork Chop, Baked Egg, Pork Skin, Egg - Vermicelli Char-grilled Pork with Egg Rolls - 1lb of Char-grilled Pork (Meat Only) - Spring Roll with Char-grilled Pork Anything with chargrilled pork was delicious. I did enjoy my vermicelli dish and appreciated the portion size. I was full and satisfied. The spring roll was good too, but the peanut sauce was surprisingly salty. The best deal was the 1 lb of chargrilled pork. Delicious and generous portions. If you have a decent amount of people to feed, this is a great option, as you only need to cook rice or have banh mi bread ready. You can either make a rice dish (with kimchi as a side dish) or banh mi (with pickled veggies/jalapenos). The only dish that was just ok was the broken rice dish. The only components of the dish that were tasty were the pork chop and the fried egg. The others were just ok. Overall, this spot is pretty good and I would definitely recommend their vermicelli dish and their 1 lb chargrilled pork (for easy family dinner night). read more

Usually I don't review local restaurants since they're already well loved in the community but this restaurant is such an OG. My FAV Vietnamese noodle soup. I remember when they had their old restaurant that was a lot smaller. Service is always friendly even for those who can't speak Vietnamese well or at all. I love their decor around the restaurant, it gives you that nostalgia of Vietnam. You must order their flan!! It's a simple, flan with a shot of espresso and shaved ice. read more

As a noodle and soup connoisseur I go to this restaurant every single time I'm in Houston. This is a rare Vietnamese dish that not every restaurant will offer so I enjoy that this place specializes it! My sister gets their dry dishes such as rice and stir fry and she loves it very much. The ambiance is a regular causal Asian place and the service here is prompt and quick right when you walk in. read more

I had their rice plate and I'm fascinated by the marinade. It got me hooked and I still think about it till this day. I would come back here again if I'm in town. Service was quick and easy. It's your typical Vietnamese mom and pop shop so you'll feel at home. read more

Delicious duck dishes for a very reasonable price! Interior of the restaurant is very clean and it is a relaxed atmosphere. There is a lot of bamboo decor which I liked. I had the shrimp spring rolls and the Bun Mang Vit which is a vermicelli duck noodle soup with salad. The large size is $14.50 and was enough for my husband to share with me. Salad and duck comes on a big plate on the side of the soup. Salad is sooooo delicious! I need more of that in my life. Soup is very subtle and clean tasting. If you love duck, come try a different preparation outside of the usual, well known peking duck. This is a side of Vietnamese cuisine that unfortunately, not a lot of people are familiar with. read more

{To go order review} Despite the restaurant being named for duck noodle soup, the bo luc lac is pretty legit. The meat is tender with tons of flavor. The fried egg was cooked a little between over easy and over medium with a slightly runny yolk. The fried rice is basic with egg only but was equally as good of a component to the dish as was the beef. Good portion...good food. read more

We heard great things about their duc and Bun Mang Vit Thanh Da definitely delivered! The duc soup combo with duck salad is quite generous and the duc was tender and flavorful as expected. The salad was refreshing and savory with great texture from the fried garlic and peanuts and a great sauce on top. The soup made from the duck broth with bamboo shoots was cozy and comforting. Not a glamorous meal, but a delicious one that's perfect for a rainy or cold day. read more

I have eaten here many times in the past. Today I was introducing my friend to this restaurant where we had dinner together. I always like their steamed duck meat salad and their noodle soup. It is a nice restaurant that has an interior farmhouse inside. The owner is always so nice and friendly. The waiter is very helpful. If you would like to try some duck meat noodle soup, then I would highly recommend this restaurant to you. read more

Came here with a big party on a Saturday afternoon and I can't say that I'd come back. Food... I liked the duck salad. They give generous portions at a very decent price. However, the minute I walked in the whole restaurant smelled like a restroom. It was also clear that it was understaffed so service was slow and inattentive. read more

Bun Mang Vit Thanh Da - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm no expert on Vietnamese food, but this restaurant serves pretty good food. First, the restaurant smelled really bad like fish sauce and cigarette smoke. Eventually it grew on me. Second, the servers were so fast. As soon as they took my order, I started getting condiments like fish sauce and spicy sauces. Everything, including the food, came out all at once and so fast that I didn't know where to start first. The egg rolls and grilled pork spring rolls were pretty good. When we asked for more mint leaves, they obliged. The special bun mang vit hay was pretty good. The soup was delicious. It had some liver and bamboo shoots too. The other plate came with some shredded cabbage and all sorts of duck parts. I don't know what I ate, but tbh I only really enjoyed the dark meats. They had restrooms in the back. After I finished eating, I had to get up to pay at the register. They're located in the corner of the strip mall, but they have plenty of parking here. read more

Although there are more than duck soup and duck noodle soup, the name gave you the hint what this place is famous for. Thanh Đa is the town outside of Saigon known for its condo complexes and duck specialty eateries. The home made ginger flavor chilly dippingcm sauce is the secret. A bowl of duck noodle soup comes with a plate of duck salad finely chopped and served. I must warn you that the portion is huge. I couldn't finish the large order. I loved the sugarcane juice (nước mía) and the penny leave and mung bean juice (rau má đậu xanh) as well. Prompt and friendly services. read more

My cousin took us here for Sunday lunch after mass and recommended the Bun Mang Vit, it was delicious. I didn't get a chance to capture a photo of the bowl but did get the side of goi vit that came with it. You really get a lot of food for the price you're paying. Staff was friendly took our order and had it out in no time. Plenty of other stuff on the menu will have to come back another time to try it all!

Great authentic food, friendly environment and reasonable prices! Would definitely recommend!

This place was good. It was first time for us. And we were pleased. It's authentic. And it was clean and nice looking too. The only issue is the customer service isn't great. Not once they stop by to asked if everything was ok? Or to refill our water cups. That's all. Hence why I only give them 4 stars. read more

This restaurant service not good. They told you they hear you request, but they do different your request

If I take my clothes off here, I'll get a Ban Mang Vit from Bun Mang Vit. But that's another story. So this is yet another excellent and affordable Vietnamese Restaurant in Houston. Houston has some of the best Vietnamese food anywhere in the country, and the US has the best Vietnamese food in the world outside of Vietnam most likely. And this is one of many that you should check out when you're in this part of the world, and comes highly recommended from me, along with about a hundred others in Houston. read more

Every single time when I go to Houston, I always visit this place to eat their Bun Mang Vit. From the crisp cabbage with the beautiful dressing with acidic notes that balance well with the duck. It pairs perfectly with the noodle soup that has nice savory broth with bamboo. Love the service from the friendly owner and I will be coming back here again! read more

For non Asian, walking in and the smell of bamboo will be overwhelming. Like the name of the restaurant, they specialize in bamboo duck noodle soup. For the amount of food we got, the price is very low. We even have leftovers! We get this huge plate of cut up ducks on top of raw cabbage with some light fish sauce. In your bowl soup there are noodles and bamboo. You can either add all the duck cabbage into your soup bowl or just eat it separately. There's really not a right or wrong way to eat it. They gave us a small dipping sauce for the duck meat. read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch to try their staple dish the Bun Mang Vit, also known as vermicelli noodle soup w/ bamboo that comes with a duck salad. The portions are large and I almost couldn't finish the regular size on my own. The broth is simple but so comforting and flavorful, reminding me of the noodle soups I had in Asia. The salad had lots of veggies and flavor and the duck was fresh and not gamey. Overall I think this is a great alternative to the typical vietnamese pho or bun bo hue and they do it very well here! I'll definitely have to add this to my usual rotation and come back soon! read more

I got the duck noodle soup, which is what they're known for here. They speak both Vietnamese and English but the person who served me didn't speak English too well so I pointed at what I wanted and he got the gist. I wasn't offered any water refill nor napkins and he didn't come by and check on me at all so the service wasn't the best. If I'm talking on food alone, some parts of my duck was gristle/bone and not much meat, and some were all meat. The salad I ate some of, but the star of the show was the soup. I loved the duck broth. This meal was good for the cold front that just rolled into Houston. More misses than hits for my first experience here. read more

I enjoy this place the first time I came here with my boyfriend to have him try out Bun Mang Vit. I had a craving for it one day and I'm generally not a fan of bamboo shoots because it can be done wrong in so many ways. We came here on a rainy day (2 years ago, I know really late) to try out the food. I ordered us 2 bowls of bun mang vit and tea. The bowls of noodle soup came out and I didn't see the duck but the waiter brought out slices of duck that were on a bed of cabbage separately with some ginger fish sauce. The soup was pretty bland for a clear broth but the duck was super moist and delicious. I enjoyed the food in general and really need to go back to try it again. The place is good for small groups of people, 3-5 people but I can't remember if they can accommodate a larger group than 6. I'll definitely have to go back soon! read more

Party of 3. Came for dinner. Total bill $86 can't beat the price for all of our dishes. Would definitely come back if I was craving vit goi. The duck was cleanly prepared, no smell and it was super tender. My chao vit was amazing, came with vit goi. My mother had the bun mang, so not sure how that went. I just tasted the bamboo and it was too tender and had a smell to it still. Eggrolls we're good. Below are the dishes we had and ratings. Snails didn't have much flavor but they were tender. Place was clean, food came out quickly. Bun mang vit w/vit goi, chao vit, cha gio (best) Oc hap sa, oc huong luc lac (ok flavoring, snails tender) read more

This is a little vietnamese noodle and rice joint tucked in the corner off of Bellaire. Came in with a party of 6 on a friday night and we were seated right away. I ordered their specialty which is a dish with soup and noodle and duck salad. The soup was a super tasty chicken based broth. It was nice and clear and felt so light. The dish gives you an option of two types of noodle: vermicelli (the traditional option) and the clear noodles (a bit chewier). I went with vermicelli and the noodles didn't disappoint. The bowl of broth and noodles also come with bamboo shoots. I can't say that bamboo shoots are my favorite but I enjoyed them nonetheless. This dish comes with a duck salad on a side plate. Slices of duck are layered on top of a cabbage salad that has been tossed with fish sauce. There are also shavings of plantains for a little extra flavor. The duck was tender and pairs quite well with the cabbage. Our table ordered the beef jerky and papaya salad as an appetizer. The papaya was really bitter and the beef jerky too spicy for my tastes. I wasn't a fan and won't order this one again. Overall, this is a nice place to stop by for a quick meal. The prices are comparable to nearby locations in chinatown. The space is roomy and the staff was friendly. Give this place a try if you want more options than just pho next time. read more

The restaurant is in a strip past the big Crawfish and Noodles restaurant strip on Bellaire. It's quaint and has a friendly staff, and it's always full of people. The bun mang vit is a hot soup that is interestingly good to eat, and it comes with a side of Vietnamese salad. The flan is iced on top, soft, and not too sweet, again, interesting. I prefer better lighting and more space, but it's not a modern contemporary place, so it's like Thien Thanh: great food inside an old restaurant. An entree will be over $10.00 over here. read more

I would love to give this place a 5 stars but customer service here isn't that great honestly. It's so hard to wave down a waiter for service. But their food is outstandingly delicious! Super fragrant, fresh garnishes, and noodles. Broth is seasoned to perfection. Their other items on the menu is good as well not just known for their duck bamboo noodle bowl (bun vit). I usually substitute my white vermicelli for the clear ones or change duck to chicken as preferred. read more

Best restaurant for com chien bo luc lac (shaking beef with egg fried rice)!!! They are known for they duck noodle soup, but all their other dishes are just so tasty and delicious!!! Other favorite dishes of mine are bun thit nuong cha gio (bbq pork vermicelli) and the grilled porkchops. I love their egg rolls because I think they use spring rolls to for the outside which makes it really crispy. Anyway 10 out of 10 for the food!!! read more

We all ordered the same thing, which all the older people loved called: Bun-Chao-Mien-Vit Hay Ga, which translates to clear vermicelli duck with special dish). It was a combo plate so this first plate was consisted of cold, cooked duck on a cabbage lettuce plate. You pour fish sauce over it, mix it up and eat it. It was so good! Even though served cold, the duck was so tender and soft and juicy. You also have the option to intermittently eat it with the vermicelli soup that also had a couple pieces of duck liver inside (my favorite). Or you can also put the duck in the soup itself! There are many ways to eat this dish! The soup broth tasted like chicken base but maybe it's duck! Pros: -fast prompt service -food came out fast -huge heaping service with good quality food -food cane out at same time -no wait -clean -clean restrooms -food service -each utensil was packed in its paper wrapping bag Cons: -private parking lot in a shared plaza read more
