This is no frills steam table/cafeteria style Vietnamese on the back of probably the largest Vietnamese grocery store in Houston and it is great. Pricing starts at $6.99 for rice and two entrees but goes up based on the rice/noodle type and the entrees selected. All of ours (3) were 8.99, but packed (the kids tapped out early) and delicious. I had this beef stew that you would otherwise only find at someone's grandma's house that was killer. Got some turnip cake on the side but everything looked good. You've got to be brave if you're apprehensive about your communication skills, but no risk no reward

It was a hot Houston summer and I was in the area desperate for water. I didn't think anything of…read moreAsante initially but walked in after seeing cases of water in their window display. When I walked in, I knew I had stumbled upon a super cool biz. I had initially thought it was a typical convenience store, but noticed how different everything looked inside. I saw clothes, hair pieces, memorabilia, imported products galore, and media. I had a double take over the name and it all made sense: This was no mini mart, it's a dedicated store for African goods of all kinds. "It's hot. Take one from the refrigerator." said the man behind the counter. I was too busy looking at the posters, magazines, and other random import stuff and didn't pay attention. Instead he walked over to a corner, where a fridge with a glass door was and swung it open and grabbed a cold water. He initially didn't even want to charge me because it was a single bottle of water. So I bought several. I'm sure my future visits will be more about perusing their African goods and water will merely be the bonus. Kudos to outstanding customer service.

From the owner: Come by, we focused on imported products to make you feel like you are back home!read more

I came in with my parents today expecting a normal grocery run and left genuinely shocked by how we…read morewere treated. We saw softshell turtles for sale and decided to buy one. The seafood manager told us it would be over $60 and we said that was fine. He picked one for us and handed it to a worker to clean/prep. While we were picking blue crabs nearby, we saw the worker struggling. My mom politely tried to explain how to clean it properly (she wasn't being rude -- she was trying to help because the worker looked lost). The worker responded with a nasty attitude, brushed her off, and kept ignoring her while chatting with a coworker. Then the worker handed us the bag and said, "Next time I'm not even going to clean it for you -- get out of here!" I've never had an employee speak to my family like that in a grocery store. We were so upset we didn't even take the bag and walked away to finish shopping. At checkout, the seafood manager came over with the same worker and asked why we left it. We explained what happened. Instead of apologizing or trying to resolve it, the manager got rude and accused us of leaving it because we can't afford it. That's not only unprofessional -- it's insulting, especially because we agreed to the price from the start and were prepared to pay. And to make things worse, while the worker was chatting with his coworker during the prep, I overheard him saying words like "chinos" and "pinches." I'm not fluent, but I know enough Spanish to recognize when someone is talking about customers in a disrespectful way. It's disturbing to hear that in a store where a lot of customers are Asian. This wasn't a "bad day" situation. It was outright hostility from an employee and a manager who escalated things instead of doing his job. We only took the turtle after demanding an apology, but the experience was already ruined. I won't be returning. If management cares, they need to retrain or replace staff in seafood -- because nobody should be spoken to like that while spending money in your store.
