Dac Hung (aka 得興) is a Cantonese style BBQ (燒臘) establishment run by Chinese-Vietnamese immigrants (#1). Despite having Vietnamese as a listing category, the only thing Viet here is the language spoken (#2) and not much else on the food front. Despite their low profile in Chinatown, they've been a go-to spot amongst locals for their roasted meats over the last decade. The vibe is so low key that it almost feels sleepy. There are plenty of tables for groups of all sizes and with dedicated parking to boot. The small window of meats is enough to entice a steady flow of take out customers and I love that it still has the feel of a family-run place. For most folks, it's either takeout, catering, or lunch. The latter usually shoots for roast pig (heo quay / siu yuk), bbq pork (xa xiu / char siu), roast duck (vit quay, siu ap) along with a hot food spread of pig ears, organ parts, and stewed meats. In terms of the flavor and quality, it's on par with the rest fo the competition, without much standing out. The bbq pork is tender but lacks a bit of sweetness and the roast pork has a nice crisp, but could use a little more seasoning. I've had their catering as well, in the form of a fully roasted pig. It's a nice price, tender meat and a sizeable roast. It's ideal for special occasions and they do a good job packaging it. It's not the best roast pig I've had, but given the price and location, it's clutch for the neighborhood. The friendly staff staff working here is multilingual with Viet, Canto, Mando, and some English. Credit cards are accepted, but cash is always king. I'm looking forward to trying other items on their menu in the near future. __________ (#1) Which make up a majority of the demographics in Houston's Chinatown. Nguoi hoa / Nguoi cho lon folks, stand up. (#2) With that good ol tieng hoa-twang to it.

Bad appearance of the food
Linh D.

Tonight, I ordered a roasted pork belly rice and received this type of meat: stale, burn and shattered meat. When I came back to talk to them and ask them to exchange the meat for me, they said they would do that next time. Why next time but not this time? I said if they didn't want to exchange, just refunded me the money, they said NO, so disappointed. They showed their bad customer service. Please consider when you order here!

Pork belly & pig ear
Mia G.

So I came here a few years ago and haven't stopped thinking about this place . & I can honestly say it is not what I remember at all . I went in about an hour before close so maybe I should have gone in earlier I'm not sure . Anyways I ordered the intestine and pig ear along with the pork belly & wonton soup. I asked for spring rolls and was informed they were out no problem . I think that me & the cashier/cook sort of got off on the wrong foot initially I asked for a pork belly he asked if I wanted half pound or a pound I just said half pound..I then asked if it came with rice or not and he asked why I asked for a half pound I just didn't realize that I was supposed to ask for the plate I apologized & then moved forward. My total including my drink was $31 the soup was $10 and I tipped $5 . The wonton soup broth taste like they just boil all the meat in it and use the broth as a soup & it is not appetizing . I had to add lots of spice and seasonings in there . I needed some broth so I ate it up but I probably won't order that again . The pork belly was delicious. The guy was nice enough to help me box up my food and put my soup in the container so I wouldn't spill it so I do think we flipped to a better coin by the end of my time here. I'm not sure if I'll come back or not if I do it will definitely be earlier in the day . Braised pig ears were okay

Grease build up on rim of the bowl
Phillip T.

I ordered mì hoành thánh. The bowl came out. The food looks ok. BUT, the rim of the bowl had a smudge of grease. I touched it and rub my fingers it was definitely grease. The same grease that is built up under a pot when not cleaned overtime. I kindly asked the waitress. "what was the sticky stuff on the rim on my bowl". She didn't say anything and walk straight to the back. At that point she knew she messed up. As she brought the bowl to the back hopefully getting a new one. I saw her grab the new bowl put it down and pour the old bowl over the new bowl touching the grease. At least I would've thought that she would made a new bow.I am writing this review to inform everyone know please inspect your FOOD and BOWL to see if anything is strange. After she brought it out I stand up took my ticket and paid for it and kindly walk out.

Ok, there seems to be some discretion on the first two reviews that the duck was "ice" cold. Based on what another reviewer explained and me asking my mother she too confided that duck is supposedly eaten at room temperature but CAN be heated according to personal preference. That is the reason for the 5 instead of the 4 star that I really rate this place as, offsetting the unfairness on that. Now that we got that out of the way may I warn you if you are squeamish at seeing hanging duck carcases in the window....then you might not want to drive by here, happy Holloween by the way and if you are a regular of any Asian Town (I detest being called China town, we're not all Chinese!) then you probably are immune to the scenery. Parking is a little tight at busy hours, but the restaurant is not really that big but to the side there are enough spaces to fill a stadium full of people. Lock your valuables etc, you're in the wrong part of town. The interior is CLEAN, new and even the restroom was pretty kept up clean. I wonder if this was a fluke, but I think not. The place is semi-divided between a restaurant and an ordering cafeteria type counter where you order your roast piglet or duck but it's all the same business. The menu is simple, the prices are low and the service is punctual. Who said these people were mean? We experienced nothing but harmonious service that would never let our water levels falter and the only rejection I got was you have to pay at the register, there are no tickets to bring to the table, minor! Mother had the "Vietnamese beef stew" and it had a good taste, not salty. It surprised me because I thought these dishes were automatically made with curry since toasted bread is accompanied with it, but I have been misinformed by myself all of these years, thank you mother. I also ordered the stew and an order of the grilled pork with rice which did have a good flavor. Each of these dishes were $5.50, you can eat here all day and not break the bank. The grilled pork was charred nicely with a proportion of rice that accompanied it by the side via "packed rice bowl turned upside down and tapped to let rice unstick", you've seen the ploy before. A few fork lifts of marinated lettuce on the side cars this dish, see posted picture. I snapped a few pictures of the menu except for the other side which they offer frozen juices, coffee, orange juice and such. Thank you for reading and I hope your visit here was as good as ours. Yelp it up!

My parents begged me to pick up vit quay and heo quay from this place they say it's comparable to Bellaire location. Inside looks very clean, however also empty. Me and my brother were the only ones besides the staff. Workers knew English but you can tell they speak better Vietnamese. We sat and waited for our order. Usually I would expect them to offer a glass of water while we wait, they didn't and that's okay too. Reading previous reviews I didn't expect much. I'm just here for the food! 1 whole duck, 2 lbs of pork belly. They over cut the pork belly to 2.5 lbs. it's cool it just got it anyway. Total cost was $38. Was this pricy I don't know my mom always orders this. I can tell you that the duck was pretty greasy, and it taste better in between a fresh loaf of bread. The crispy skin of the pork was super crunchy and hard.

Crispy pork

Great BBQ and Vietnamese street food. Family business so they're so sweet and welcoming.

Food was good and fresh, no complaints, friendly staff. Very clean inside Lemon Honey Tea is really good.

Wonton Noodle Soup. The BBQ pork is super chewy :(
Ann H.

It's great that this place offers fresh pit roasted pork and duck on regular days of the week instead of having to only be able to get it on Sunday's from Thanh Hung or Bellaire. It's true it's very good! But I'll only be coming in to order portions of the meat to go because the sit down food here is lacking. The wonton noodle soup came in a super large bowl with tons of soup but the broth was bland and lacked the rich fatty goodness you expect. The sliced pieces of BBQ pork were super chewy and unappetizing. The combo plate of BBQ meat with rice was also disappointing because though the meat was good, everything else was bland. I don't think broccoli is a side vegetable one wants to eat with this dish but there it was as a side. I understand that English is not most of the servers first language so I spoke Vietnamese to them but even then they acted like they didn't completely understand what I was saying and did not check up on our table at all nor bring us the check. Save your time and just order the meat to go.

Roasted duck!

I was told to get the brisket, so I had had that in my mind and was so unsure about how much to…read moreget. It wasn't going to be a full pound, that's for sure. But then I learned about the mac and cheese... And saw that there is an option to add brisket to it. Done deal. And getting a pint was the perfect amount because I was nice and full after. The way the place is laid out, you go in, hop in line, and then claim a table after paying. A science specifically says not to hold the table before paying because it's unfair... First time I have seen a sign like that, but I get it. Honestly I was expecting just a sprinkle of brisket on top of the mac, but it was a hefty amount, and WOW WOW was it good! I added both of the homemade sauces to my food so I could taste the differences. The kick was nice, but I really did love the sweeter one. The sausage was good too, but I wish I got the jalapeno cheese one. I had opted not to since I already had so much mac and cheese. As if the barbecue wasn't good enough, they had a bar with a really friendly bartender who is eager to give city recommendations. It was thursday, and they had tequila deals, including some very strong $6 margaritas. We only did one round, and that was all we needed. We were also able to watch the World Cup game there. It was a total vibe and I know I would go back whenever I visit again. Geez, what is the other BBQ like in the city?!

Best BBQ hands down in Houston! Be prepared to wait, but when it's your turn, you'll be glad you…read moredid. Fair warning, if you wait to long, they might be sold out. When we got there, they were already sold out of sausage. After we ordered, they ran out of ribs and brisket and half the line that was waiting left. It was really tasty. I chose the pulled pork sandwich and it was juicy and tender. A definite recommend for this place. If you are from our of town, take an Uber, there is little to no parking.

A 2-year Michellin star BBQ joint was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My friends and I got there around 10am and were lucky enough to grab a number. The number secures your spot in line but don't worry if you show up and they run out, there's a spot on the porch where the non-number line starts. We ordered moist brisket, garlic sausage, and the beef rib. For sides, we went with mac and cheese and beans. Everything was superb! The brisket melted in your mouth, no knife needed. The sausage had a nice snap to it and get great flavor. The bark on the beef rib was *chef's kiss*. The mac and cheese was creamy while the beans had a nice sweet and tangy flavor. The service is also great! While we were eating, staff would regularly check all of the tables to check if anyone needed anything. The staff taking our order also chatted with us about other BBQ spots we've been to. Everything was such a great experience and the quality of the food is 100/10!

I got here often with my roommate and always have a great time mix and matching any 6 beers into a 6-pack deal. The fatty brisket and sausage is amazing. I love that they offer a variety of menu items now as well. Steak nights, wine nights, and brunch options show how much effort they put in.

I'm adjusting my review to reflect Veronica's willingness to turn this experience into an opportunity. We were looking forward to trying this restaurant while staying at a hotel in Houston for medical treatments. We had it delivered to our hotel and sadly it wasn't the best experience. When we got our order to the room we were missing one side that we ordered. We got Mac n cheese, green beans and potato salad with a brisket/smoked chicken combo and a brisket/ribs. I was shocked to see two pieces of brisket and a chicken breast for $28. Maybe it was an off night but the quality just wasn't there. All the food was cold (our fault bc we ordered it for delivery) and was lacking flavor. Overall, we'd rate it like this: Brisket 3/5 Chicken 2/5 Mac n cheese 1.5/5 Green beans 3/5 Ribs 3/5 Potato salad 2/5 Maybe they were having a bad night but I wish our experience was better.

Killen's never disappoints…read more Their beef ribs were just short of amazing. Juicy, succulent, tender. For a giant piece of meat on the bone, they worked wonders. You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

The food was ok, the Brisket Sandwich a bit dry for my taste…read more My Companion had the Pulled Pork Sandwich, she said it was good but didn't care for the Potato Salad. Service was good and quick serviced from steam tables. Employees friendly but quiet. Casual dining but a bit loud. The restaurant was clean. Lots of parking. But 54$ for two Sandwiches, one with 2 sides it a bit much.
