    Wow. A vegetarian mom and pop store that serves delicious, fresh food. We've tried a variety of their noodles in addition to their banh mi and everything is made fresh and is a hit. Their shredded chicken and also their combo banh mi are full of flavor and the bread has just the right amount of crunch/freshness. The store itself has a large variety of offerings as well - from spices to vegetarian meats to fresh rice rolls. Everyone that works there is super friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for a great vegetarian place in the area. Note that it is on the wilcrest side and just around the corner from Quan Yin.

    Lemongrass Tofu Sandwich
    Gin Y.

    I wanted to check this spot out, since I've had it bookmarked for some time. It's all vegetarian. I'm not vegetarian, but it's nice to eat just veggie's sometimes. We came in and ordered their lemongrass tofu banh mi, banh cuon, spring rolls, and tofu bun vermicelli. I think our favorite was definitely the lemongrass tofu banh mi. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the lemongrass flavor came through on the tofu, the tofu texture was great, and the veggies were fresh. Their banh cuon was pretty good. But, it wasn't as flavorful as the banh cuon from thien thanh. It helps to add the fish sauce on top. Unfortunately, the spring rolls and the tofu vermicelli weren't our cup of tea. The spring rolls had raw bean sprouts and a vegetable that we didn't enjoy. The tofu vermicelli also had a really strong mustard green in it that overpowered everything else in the dish. When I plucked out the mustard greens, the tofu vermicelli was not too bad. Overall, we'll definitely be coming back to try out their other banh mi sandwiches and their ca phe sua da. PS - they also take Apple Pay

    I'm a huge fan of Vietnamese vegetarian food and this place is one of the best! The banh mi dac biet was the perfect sandwich. The baguette was fresh, the vegetables were plentiful, and the vegetarian meat was very realistic and delicious! Nuoc Sam was the right choice for a refreshing not too sweet drink. You can also buy lots of premade dishes here!

    This place has got a pretty extensive menu to choose from. Lots of options: banh mi, soups, noodles, rice, curries, etc! I got the spring roll wraps. One with shrimp and another with pork floss. Both wraps were kind of flavorless to me. Don't think I would get them again. The house combination Banh Mi was delicious though. The bread was crispy and the meat tasted real. They could have added more greens but the meat was really the star of the show! Great and friendly staff. I would recommend and would come again.

    Came here for the first time with my parents. I never go anywhere to eat vegan food lol. My parents are both vegans so I ate with them. Even though I love my bloody steaks, these vegan dishes are delicious. We ordered the vegan pho, spring rolls, and banh mi pork. All dishes were meatless, but looked and tasted like it was meat products. Prices are decent considering the portions. They also have a freezer so you can buy food items to take home and cook yourself. Staff are very friendly and they have a few tables and chairs to dine at. Very clean restaurant. The parking is huge.

    Lemongrass Tofu Sandwich

    My friend was craving this spot so we came in for lunch over the weekend. I was intrigued to hear about a vegetarian Vietnamese spot and was super excited to try. The shop is pretty small, but there's a good amount of tables for dine in as well as other tables set up with things you can buy. Service here is super quick and the servers mainly speak Viet. We got the bun bo hue, hu tieu, and lemongrass tofu banh mi. The bun bo hue does not taste like bun bo hue made with meat, but it was still really good and super flavorful. The hu tieu tasted more true to hu tieu soup flavor and was also super delicious. My favorite by far was the lemongrass tofu banh mi. The bread was crispy and the tofu was super flavorful. I would bring my vegetarian grandma here!

    Randomly decided to stop by here. Interesting that the BBQ and Vegetarian combo sandwiches were priced the same at $5.50. Wish it had a bit more meat in the BBQ. The place was small and intimate and you were able to get some groceries or food items here which I thought was pretty cool. Service was quick.

    If you and/or an chay (Buddhism Vegeterian) then this is a great place for to-go or dine in cafeteria style. Interior is pretty simple and overall clean. Service is always friendly. My family have been coming here, especially for their banh mi. It can be a day later and their banh mi is still nice and soft. Just throw it in the air fryer if you're eating it later! It doesn't even matter which one you get, all their banh mi are delicious but can never be wrong with banh mi dac biet. If you're fighting on who pay, especially with an uncle who has cash... they will always pick the cash payer, just an FYI. The vermicelli noodles (usually at the front) is not my favorite compare to other do chay restaurants but not bad for an-chay-to-go. Tea is always extra and they only have jasmine tea. Still, a nice chay (Vegetarian) restaurant with plenty of grab-n-go options. Tip: they have their full selection at 9 AM on the daily.

    As a die hard carnivore, I surprisingly enjoyed eating here. It's a pretty small restaurant. They sell some groceries and have coolers of vegetarian items for sale. The bun bo hue was very flavorful. I would come back to try some other items on the menu. There's plenty of parking. The staff are very friendly.

    If you are vegetarian and looking for Vietnamese food, this place is for you. We ordered a variety of vegetarian banh mi and they were all really tasty. There's a nice blend of vegetables with the fake meat. The bread was flaky and a great car ride meal on the drive back to Dallas. I ate mines two hours after we bought it and it was still delicious. The bread was soft but not soggy but also didn't get rock hard. There are other vegetarian dishes to order from as well. We also got some chay meat floss which pairs great with rice and some pickled radishes and eggs.

    Capha Sua Da so good I nearly drank it all.

The filling is placed in a pan and then a thin layer of batter made with tumeric and coconut milk yellow batter is poured on top. You wrap the lettuce around the bánh xèo/bánh khọt and dip it in the fish sauce. I got the bánh khọt and the bò né. Bánh khọt is like a mini, thicker version of bánh xèo and came with nine pieces. Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them. It's nice having an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our area, close to us, so we don't have to make the trek to Bellaire every time we crave some Viet food!

    Typically, when an Asian business has a cheeky name like Xeo Yum, it's widely assumed that it's…read moreheavily Americanized and therefore shouldn't be taken seriously. I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

When I arrived there was nobody dining in the restaurant, that was a bit worrying, but I figured it was a bit early for the dinner crowd and late for the lunch crowd. Food & Drink - 4.5* First up was the noodles, I enjoyed them, but I wouldn't say the hype I'd heard about from some others was there. They had nice flavor, but there just wasn't anything "special." 3.5* Then it was on to the crawfish, and my oh my. Superb, the flavor is delicious and unique. This more than made up for the noodles dish. The potato and corn was good too. Service - 5* Solid. When I first arrived the owner was quietly reading a newspaper and eating his own lunch. He paused to greet me and advised that I could sit anywhere. He provided water and adequate time to determine what I wanted to order. The food came out quickly and he checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok. As time went by, the crowd of folks showing up increased quite a bit and he still managed to check in on tables consistently. Pricing - 4* This is where it was odd. Always subjective but I found the noodles to be overpriced for not only the size but what I felt was a pretty simple dish. The crawfish on the other hand was priced very competitively and made up for the overpriced noodles. I provided pics of the menu for someone to make their own assessment but in general I thought many of the dishes were pricier than they probably should be. I know inflation is certainly killing many businesses and consumers but even these felt a bit off. Overall - 4.5* This is definitely going to be one of my go tos for crawfish when in the area. The flavor is fantastic, the pricing is good, the size of them were solid. There are a couple of other dishes I may try on the next visit. The restaurant is clean, the owner is very nice, and it's a nice low key space to just enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

I thought I had over ordered and probably did, but everything was so damn good, I finished it all. 5/5 Coconut coffee - this was my first time trying this.

Lord and waistline willing, I would consume one of these everyday. The contrasts of hot and cold, the bitterness of coffee with the creaminess of coconut. It all balanced and went so well together.

The other was regular fresh spring rolls with shrimp. The rolls came out last after when we got our Pho. Would have enjoyed it more if it came after the salads. I ordered the combination Pho with all the ingredients (brisket, eye round, tendon, meatball and tripe)a. There is only one size. There was a lot of noodles for the size of the bowl. They were generous with the meat. Wish they would have more soup. The soup itself was ok. Thought it was a little bland compared to others. Service was quick. It didn't take long to receive our order. They offer reusable wooden chopsticks. Will plan to try the other dishes other than Pho like rice plates next time.

It comes in a set of 2 but we got a 3 pack! I ordered the grilled branzino and let me tell you! That chimichurri sauce !! Clutch! It is demonetisation and truly grilled to perfection. My friends ordered the filet mignon and the chicken and they were equally as impressed! I ordered the espresso mousse for dessert which comes out in the shape of a coffee bean. Cuteeee and perfect! This place didn't disappoint and it is a must visit.

    Superb service. They were extremely attentive and polite. Food came out in a timely manner, the…read morechecked up regularly and water was constantly refilled. This is a higher end fine dining restaurant so you should expect the portion sizes and price to be pretty comparable to a lot of other finer dining restaurants. Overall the food's flavor was fantastic. I ordered the king salmon clay pot. I thought the salmon was so tasty! They added pepper and sauce to the salmon - It was tender and flavorful and paired nicely with white rice. The quail (not pictured below) also was super flavorful and was cooked so well it tasted like beef. The soup was also light and refreshing, similar to a west lake soup. It was thicker consistency and had cilantro and chucks of lobster. The drinks served were also super balanced. We ordered the mojito and the dragon fruit cocktail. The mojito was the right balance between minty and sweet with just a hint of alcohol flavor. For the dragon fruit cocktail, it was very fruity, on the sweeter side but not overpowering and was topped with egg whites to give it a little bit of frothiness. I will say, we are slightly underdressed to enter this establishment. Everything seemed so luxurious and many people were in formal business wear! Keep this in mind if you go! There is a parking deck right next to the location as well, both self parking and valet!
