Finding a roasted duck for a family tradition on a Wednesday is not easy to do. I found this place on yelp and was not disappointed. I got there at open, the phone was ringing off the hook with people ordering ducks and chickens and the food was fresh and delicious! The place was spotless, the staff was kind and very helpful. So happy to know they are there! The name seems to have changed but the food is worth th trip read more

The seafood chow fun ($15 plus tax) exceeded expectations. The first bite of the sweet sauce and smokiness of the charred pliable noodles made me nod my head. The small shrimp, small round fish cakes, and calamari were chewy and bouncy. A few pieces of small bok choy (halved), lots of bean sprouts, and chopped cilantro were tossed with the noodles. The white rice (big rice cooker) (small box, $2 plus tax) is good. There's a ready-to-eat cold organ meat section (sold by the pound) with different marinated, braised, and stir-fried pig ears and intestines, chicken feet, etc...Each meat is is covered with a plastic lid. Usually, you can eat it cold or hot. The chicken gizzards were in a chili oil and jalapeño mix. The intestines are in a red broth with cilantro (strained for weighing) and have a sweet tomato flavor. I'm not sure if it's also a little spicy since both meats were added to the same container. A little chili oil (shrimp paste maybe) container is included to add some salt and spice. It's good to add to the noodles too. You can dine-in or take out. The men can speak English, though I kept it straightforward as I couldn't understand some things. I visited at 10:30am on a Saturday, so there were a few people dining in and some picking up the roasted and barbecued meats (duck and pork). read more

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. read more

Great authentic BBQ. Family was happy with our whole roasted pig. Meats were fresh and crispy.

This place isn't your local "Panda Express" more like the place Panda Express wished it could be! My daughter is obsessed with YouTube videos of strange foods from other countries and she was wanting to get adventurous when it came to our taste buds so we were searching for a place with what would be exotic to your average American. Walking in you can definitely see the roasted dusk hanging from the heater and a wide variety of already cooked food ready to be served. The restaurant is spacious and clean with a TV at the end of the restaurant. The service is food, however there is definitely a language barrier when it comes to some of the staff members but when the owner is there, he is very professional and passionate about his restaurant. Some of our favorites are their roasted duck, pork belly, chicken feet, their soups and fried rice. I definitely recommend their duck and pork belly since those are our favorites. read more

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! read more

Great food. Out of egg rolls? Really! Those serving bordered on rudeness. I didn't feel welcome - almost like an intruder. It appeared simple - more focused on take away than eat here but was clean. Service was quick, it I was the only one there. read more

We ordered fried rice and duck and one order of egg rolls. She explained that the shrimp fried rice is a separate charge and the duck only comes with steamed. Little is available for drinks. My wife got a coke and I got a honey lemon tea. I sipped the drink when it arrived and was catapulted to my childhood when my grandmother should serve Lipton instant tea. Yes, we paid $3.50 for a glass of instant tea! The duck tasted good, but it was barely warm. When we received the egg rolls they were over cooked with a dark brown color. I decided not to eat them. So this will be a one and done. I wish it would have been better. We are in because in all honesty the food smelled wonderful. read more

Disgusting place and a rip off. Came and order a meal with two meat. Bbq pork and duck. The amount of meat they give you is a joke. Not enough to feed a little kid. Major rip off. read more

Placed an order for three party trays the day before and provided time for pickup. They now required a down payment over the phone, which they have never requested before. Upon arrival to pick up trays, the food was not even prepared. They started when I got there and tried to blame on the fact that they could not call me back to verify. This must be a new owner because with the pervious owners, I've never had an issue. They even lied saying that upon arrival, they were already working on it. The trays were not completed until 45 minutes later and the food was not good. The chicken salad was bland and the rice beef noodles was awful. Will no longer place an order here unless I am extremely desperate. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Hidden gem! Their location in Bellaire sucks so I figured it would be here as well too but I've been here 3x already and the thịt heo quay is moist and juicy! Other places I go to are so dry but not here! It's also flavorful and crunchy. Best thịt heo quay I've had in Houston so far. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Sooo I seen this place on Yelp and my wife just had to try it. Everything on the menu just seemed so good. I drove over with my youngest daughter. We were greeted by a nice man, unfortunately he didn't speak English. Once another man came over I asked him what meats were with the two meat BBQ plate. He said it was Crispy Pork, BBQ pork or Crispy Duck. I said and I quote "give me both crispy pork and bbq pork". He replied with "ok". I paid, left and went home. Once I opened the Togo boxes, lo and behold, there say BBQ pork and Crispy duck. I cannot stand duck meat. I even tried it just to be a little optimistic about it. Nope. I went to a closer Vietnamese place to get a second type of meat. Please listen to your customers. read more

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. read more

I'm pretty picky in my food choices. That being said, the place is clean and simple, basic Asian BBQ store front. The employees are very nice and informative. There is a language barrier with the guy that cuts the meat (he doesn't speak any English, but is very nice). Yet, the cashier speaks English! Yay! The roasted duck is very good here, better than some of the places in bellaire ***coughs**coughs, Sinh Sinh** The queen chicken (yellow chicken) is good, but not the best. The rice that comes with the yellow chicken is rather dry and not the right color. It's usually a light yellow bc it's cooked in chicken broth. The garlic sauce that comes with it is not as salty as the other places like Com Ga Houston, but that's okay with me. The duck sauce is just wonderful. Also, they serve hu tieu or mi (Vietnamese rice noodle or egg noodle soup), pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) , bo kho (Vietnamese beef stew) , combo rice dishes, fried rice, and other types of intestines (duck's/chicken's hearts, pig's intestines, etc.). My family likes their soups! ***FYI, the roasted duck, yellow chicken, intestines are meant to be eaten at room temperature, not hot. Yet, it can be heated up if you prefer. Personal preference really. Lastly, I gave this place four stars because of the roasted duck and the friendly service! Try this place out! It will save you the drive to bellaire and from the Asian drivers! I know I'm one of them! read more

If i could give zero stars i would. I used to love this mom n pops place. But noW i have a new non asian owner yelling at me to order and a woman who doesnt speak english checking me out. She doesnt know i know a bit of viet and muttered some rather unsavory things about me as she ignored my request for more fish sauce and walked away. When i asked about it, the new owner said she doesnt speak english.... um ok. I asked for extra "nuoc mam" which is Vietnamese for fish sauce.... not english. And when the order was done. The new owner whistled at us to go to the counter and pay. I'M NEVER COMING BACK HERE read more

Decided to stop here on a whim. I had been driving past this restaurant when it was under construction but today I noticed that there was a grand opening sign. I was so psyched and couldn't wait to taste the food! The employees were so sweet and begged us to sit down and eat our food as opposed to taking it out. We obliged, and glad we did! My shrimp fried rice was fresh and hot, and the waiter was very attentive. Next time I will be trying out wonton soup with shrimp and even a bowl of Pho. They also have BBQ pork, and various other options. The decor is pretty simplistic but nice and relaxing. The clear windows are a nice touch as well. I will definitely be back! P. S. This location is a new location, and I believe the one on Bellaire is the original. read more

This spot is nasty. Unsanitised. They dont wear gloves or mask when handling food. It smells like sewerage. I see alot of pig intestines, ears, and chicken feet. Food was disgusting.

I can easily say that Dac Hung has become a favorite for my us. My husband and I often order/dine-in and are never disappointed in portion and quality. Combination party tray (4.5/5) runs for $30. You get plentiful protein of beef and shrimp. Flavor isn't always consistent but it is 95% of the time Hu tieu noodle party tray (5/5) runs for $30. Lots of noodles and veggies. Full of flavors Fried rice plate entree (5/5): explosions of goodness in your mouth I'm every bite. BBQ pork rice plate entree (5/5): good portion with perfect pork Pork belly and duck by the pound: *drool* never dry Cleanliness (5/5): clean dining area and bathrooms Service (4/5): depends on the day you go, but a refill in water in an asian restaurant without having to ask is an excellent one in my book read more

Ordered a roasted pig for the holiday season. It was very quick service, they answered any questions I had in regards to how the pig will be cooked. Very decent price. But, I did get what I paid for.

Worst Vietnamese place I have ever been too. Worried now that I will get food poisoning from this place. Ordered the vermicelli with grilled pork, and the seafood soup. The seafood soup didn't have much seafood in it, three shrimp (over cooked) and three fish balls (cut in half to make it look more). After we ate I could see inside the kitchen from our table. I saw the older Vietnamese guy with his bare hands take out two bowls of meat, take a piece of meat and smell it from the first bowl. I saw him throw that bowl away and than take a piece of meat with his bare hands again from the second bowl and smell it. And than cook that piece of meat. When we went to go to the cashier, the same man I saw in the kitchen rang us up. When asked by him how was everything I said terrible and he repeated to me and asked what was bad. I told him and he charged us full price and said he will take it up with the kitchen. I said I saw you in the kitchen and he just looked at me like oh well... Yep don't go to this place unless you want to get sick... also they are upgrading or repairing the kitchen and workers are back doing work didn't see that until it was too late. They should close this place down!!!! read more

Do not order for delivery. They will tell you 45 minutes. You are lucky if you can get your food in 90. Your hotel will have their menu, but there are restaurants all around within walking distance. We did order after 11 pm, but if you can't handle the late night rush, don't take that much order! Quality of Food is definitely very low by Houston standard. Noodle is all soft and mushy; fried rice on the other hand is hard. With customer service like this, not sure I want to visit this place in person, during the day. read more

I have been Dac Hung customer for awhile now. At least stop by for Togo every week. I was just there 10 min ago with hubby buying Togo for dinner. We order half of the ga quy phi, one pound of roasted pork, one small box of two side dish of intestine and pig ears in fish sauces. Total of three item. When the lady call me up for payment, "excuse me, there is only two box are you sure the roasted pork can fit together with the ga quy phi?" I ask. She say she manage to fit all inside, don't worry. So I trust her on that and went home. Unfortunately when I got home with hubby we ONLY see the ga quy phi and my side dish box. I try to call back to Dac Hung but no one pick up after so many call I give up and sadly I have to give them this one star review. Horrible! I asked her, it's not like she miss place it cause she answer that she manage to fit it all into one box. So which mean she purposely lie about it. I dunno why she would do that cause she just lost one of her fateful customer. read more
