We went early on a Saturday night so around 9/10ish and caught the game on the multiple screens around the bar. This is such a Chinatown staple, we ordered the watermelon soju (refreshing!), beer and a passionfruit cocktail and mocktail. Always recommend getting the watermelon soju to start the night. We did order fries halfway through drinking and those took 40-50 minutes, which was a long time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is great, there's a DJ on weekends and the low lights are vibey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like this place for vibes, late night hangout with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The oysters are pretty good and not too expensive like other places. However, I do find the other items to be pretty expensive and I haven't found a cocktail drink that i like from there. Other than that, the service is pretty good and fast. read more

Ok but this place was amazing. Nothing beats a fun night out.. (on a weekday) like this place. First off, the staff is super cool!!! They were so friendly and efficient. Shoutout to the gals and bartender for making this experience memorable. I am from out of town and there is nothing like this place down in FL. So, if you're ever in Houston this place is great for late night bites and good drinks!! I really enjoyed the HANOI beer, they always have great specials. You cannot beat a dozen osyters for $16... that is a steal and they were big and delish. I am still dreaming about them till this day. We also had oyster shooters (yum$8 each but acquired taste). We also ordered fried calamari, & other menu items. But everything on the menu was affordable and worth every penny! I really enjoyed the tater tots, they have such great "giau" food aka after a night of drinking, the late night snacks & drinks were poppin. My cousins and I had such a good time. I can't wait to go back again. read more

Giau Bar N Bites - Asian Fusion Near Me - Houston, Texas

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cool cozy bar in Chinatown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get a bit loud because it's also like a sports bar, I believe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even so we actually came for dinner! The food is really good and came out pretty fast, I think good food for drinking. The oysters were really good and clean. The balut was also really good here, if you are into it. The squid and mango is my dads favorite and has nice cuts of mango. The lâu had a really nice sweet sour flavor and the seafood in it was really good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was really nice since it was getting a little chilly at night![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servers were also all so nice and attentive if we needed anything. Frequently coming to check with us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would totally suggest coming here with your friends, maybe not like a family and kids but also I'm not sure because I used to come when I was younger lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Have been multiple times and generally have had great experiences. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On Friday and the weekend it does get very busy and loud, but that's to be expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking can be rough on those days. The service has always been good and the food is solid! The drinks are actually top notch and we come here specifically for some of the unique cocktails they offer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Other customers are generally friendly as well and we almost always have conversations with other patrons, which we enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (Obvi that could also be specific to us and not representative of most visits) I would recommend this place for a great cocktail and some bbq pork! read more

Let's start of by saying the food was decent, but the service was extremely slow. We waited much longer than expected to get our meals and drinks. It really took away from the overall experience. I hope they can work on their timing because the food itself wasn't bad. The staff just sitting around chit chatting and it wasn't busy at all the business has really gone down a lot I gave this place so many chance but it's still the service just slow and inattentive. read more

Great vibes and music and decor (club lights), drinks were tasty but the food was mediocre. I still love my Vietnamese bar food options though. The best that I had were the raw marinated shrimp, coconut snails and duck egg. The oysters were not good. Would go back for drinks and a good time but not for the oysters. read more

The best bar in Chinatown!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the fries, staff and the ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely recommend this place

This spot is okay to have a couple of drinks with your friends. They have a good amount of unique alcoholic beverages and if you're hungry there are some bites that you can enjoy while you're drinking. The food they have has an Asian twist to it. It's still your average bar food so don't expect to be impressed on the quality of your dishes. They have appetizers such as oysters, clams, chicken feet (which I don't recommend). They also have soup, hot pot & sushi. To be on the safe side I usually order their hot wings & curly fries. Their wings with fish sauce & black pepper had an interesting taste to it. Sweet, savory and they were sticky. For my drink I forgot the name, but it tasted like cappuccino with liquor in it. It's a pretty dangerous drink because it's sweet and you don't really taste any alcohol but a couple of those will have you pretty lit. The service from most of the servers was just okay but they have one bartender who was really kind and helpful. My friend ordered the bubbly pineapple & I was intrigued with how they made the drink. Overall, it was okay. It wasn't the best but not the worst either. I usually get here a little early because once it hits 10pm, the place is packed and extremely loud and it feels like you're at a club. Will I come back? I wouldn't go out of my way but I wouldn't mind stopping by from time to time. read more

My friend and I had tea at a shop around the corner but we weren't quite ready to go home when they closed so we found this bar in the same shopping strip that stayed open until 2AM. Upon entry, it was very spacious, pretty clean and had a DJ playing. The DJ played a mix of like hop hop (a lot of 2000's era) and we heard reggae ton. It wasn't super crowded so you could sit anywhere but we chose to sit at the bar. The bartenders were all so friendly and very attentive and kept checking on us frequently. I noticed that they had bottle specials for like $100 which is probably better than many other bars in Houston if you wanted to do bottle service. We ordered the $5 shots of crown and I got a Martel confetti while my friend got the peach drink (I forgot the name). My friend ordered these loaded fries that came with this sauce, crab meat and fish eggs I believe it was called. It basically looked like a lot of the stuff that you would put on sushi but on fries. It was just okay. Like it was missing some extra flavor for me. Overall this bar had a nice chill vibe to it so I would recommend it if you wanted to get out the house but didn't want anywhere that would be too packed/chaotic. read more

My friends and I came here after dinner as we have been wanting to try their watermelon soju for a while now. It was average at best. We didn't taste much soju and it tasted like lukewarm watermelon juice. Personally, I enjoy other variations of watermelon soju where it's more slushy-like and sweeter. It was a lot of juice though for 4 people! We had trouble finishing all of it. The calamari that we ordered on the side was nothing to write home about. I would've liked it to be more crispy. read more

It's not about the days here, it's the wild NIGHTS It's the sexy dresses, and drunken FIGHTS And the local business owners getting high as KITES Cause all the sexy girls come to Giau Bar N BITES WHAT You want a sexier bar to hang out in, in Chinatown? You must be Giauking. Friday night is sexy dancer night, and one of the dancers is a friend of mine, which is how we ended up coming here the first time. There's actually 6 or 7 amazing dancers, and you can see them from the window when you walk or drive by. Not that I'm encouraging a drive by, those are violent and senseless. So if you want somewhere in Chinatown with sexy dancers and DJs and all the alcohol you can shake a proverbial stick at (although shake it in the bathroom, not in public, you get arrested for that these days), all the Asian hotties, all the nice bodies that you can imagine, then pick your jaw off the floor because this is the place for you. It's the heartbeat of the Chinatown nightlife, it's Midtown/Washington Corridor but with an Asian flavour, especially when you consider that next door is Tea Top the Boba shop, although this is more like Teat Top in here. There's Sharetea and the new TKK and Yumcha, all are very close by, and a Fufu restaurant as well, so here at DH (Dun Huang Plaza) you can't really go wrong. Oh and the waitresses are spectacular and hard working and friendly too, as well as being ridic attractive. We've been in here on a number of occasions and they're friendly and they're great and it's a wild time. Even the owners of KFT up at 99 Ranch and KFT Pearland come here and they're great people too. You can never not give this place a 5-star in my opinion, not if you really love Chinatown. read more

Came in here randomly and last minute looking for something that was open late and somewhere I had not been before. I also wanted it to be within a 20 min range. It was so packed. The waitress informed me that it was Chinese New Year and they had an event. Most of the tables were reserved, but the bar was open. The bar was packed too. The waitress was nice and said she would put my name on a waitlist. While I was waiting on my "date" to arrive, 2 seats became available at the bar. I started off with one of their margaritas and listened to the music being played. Most of it was hip hop, which I enjoyed. Once my date arrived I tried an old fashion. I preferred the old fashion. I was not sure what to order since I was not very hungry. I decided on wings and asked the bartender what flavor. He recommend tossing the wings in the sauce they use for their chicken feet. It was spicy and delicious. My date had the fried rice and it was good as well. The portion sizes were generous. As we were almost done eating the show began. We loved seeing the dragon dancers, listening to the cultural music, and enjoying in the festivities. Needless to say it was a memorable first date. read more

Came here on a Friday night for some birthday fun, food was sooo good, drinks were heavy handed so you know you got your money worth and it's live inside. With a dj and a dancer there was not a dual moment. Service was quick and they were pretty pack, but we got our drinks and food in a timely manner, she also came back and check on us multiple times. Get the crispy intestines if you're into it, one of my favorite on the menu, and I really enjoyed their watermelon soju. If you're look for a good time, good vibes and good food, 10/10 would recommend read more

I love Giau food. Everything we ordered was really good! And to be honest for the amount we paid was so much better than going elsewhere to eat. Dishes are relatively cheap and good portions. I enjoyed the dips that were offered with it. Definitely good for a night out with friends. It's very lit at night and they have good drinks! We had the taro nachos, the meat was a bit salty but good overall. grilled squid was perfectly chewy, crunchy, and oh so delicious in that green seafood sauce, YUM! Basil clams had good juice and the clams were fresh! The juice sprinkled over some white rice, oh man it can't be beat definitely a smaller portion. Baby quails, good flavor. The oysters were definitely different. I think I still prefer mine with Tabasco lime and horseradish, I would recommend it to change it up sometimes. read more

I am rating this place solely on the cocktails because that is all I had there. This is a cute unexpected bar in Chinatown, with a sports bar-like vibe. I came in with a friend on a Thursday evening, and it wasn't busy. I enjoyed the two cocktails I had: Bubbly Pineapple and Peach Sangria. If you like sweet and fruity cocktails, this place is for you! I would recommend both of the drinks I ordered for the taste, but tbh I did not taste any alcohol (potentially dangerous lol). My friend ordered the Kiwi Breeze and something that had a name like Brazilian Lemonade. The Kiwi Breeze was refreshing (again couldn't taste the alcohol) and the Brazilian Lemonade drink was verrrrry strong. My fav drink was probably the Bubbly Pineapple for how extra it is (see video). Prices are pretty standard; $12-14 for a cocktail. Our server was great; we got our drinks pretty quickly after ordering and she was attentive to whether we needed to order more stuff. Parking situation: on-site read more

Came here to watch Monday Night Football and it had a few customers (not busy). My friends and I sat at the bar and had great service until we finished eating (there were guys drinking more than us and the opposite end of the bar so they got all the attention the rest of the night). Beers were only $5 which was awesome. We all got the bbq pork plate ($14) and it was a lot of food. I've walked past here so many times and never went in but I'm glad I tried it out. Will definitely be back to try some cocktails - if you're looking for a low key spot that's still nice, I'd recommend coming here for food/drinks on the weekday when they're not loud/packed with people. read more

Giau Bar N Bites - Asian Fusion Near Me - Houston, Texas

I came here thinking it'd be similar to something like DSS in Carrollton, TX, but wow am I blown away. I love eating Vietnamese street-style food, especially ones that taste like home but have a unique fusion twist to it. I was hesitant to order the balut but I am so glad I did. It might've been one of the yummiest dishes I had tonight! We ordered the balut, fried chicken, salt toasted squid, GiAu Pizza, The Tuna Rose, & spring rolls. I highly recommend the salt toasted squid! It is so crispy, and has an addictive crunch and flavor to it since the dipping sauce is made out of a cilantro, lime, & jalapeño blend (not sure if that's all of it in there but it tastes like it). 11/10 recommend coming here to nhậu and have fun with friends :) in terms of service, they were pretty busy so I understood why it was slow. The food was amazing though ;) read more

Giau Bar N Bites - The Tuna Rose: seared Ahi Tuna marinated in a umami vinaigrette - Asian Fusion Near Me - Houston, Texas

Love this place but the service was very unpleasant for group reservation. So, i have a birthday party reservation for the lounge area (3+ weeks in advance).I've been calling a few times leading to the date to make sure they don't give my spot to someone else (mainly because they don't have a organized system of confirming reservation). Anw, on the day of-- they literally move my group to the regular table area without any notice. It was complicated-- but after reasoning with the manager for a while, they gave me my original spot. Although as the night progresses, i notice a slow and low quality of service, they rarely check us and often forget to bring out everything we ordered. I have a strong feeling that the manager is mad at me... but it's not my fault they was trying to give my "reserved spot" to someone else without telling me ‍ read more

Me and my girlfriend went out here for my 21st birthday not only did the rude bartender tell me i had to wait to the next day for my ID to be Valid ( it was my 21st birthday) he told i couldn't get drinks there after my girlfriend were so excited for me. My food order for edamame was also forgotten. This place doesn't know how to treat honest and patient customers. read more

Very good service and atmosphere. I only had the drinks but the food looked very good from what i good see

The raw oysters and fries are good here. Great place for bigger parties like having your own table. Cost is higher than other places I've been to in the area. The washroom sometimes are super nasty on a Friday or Saturday night. Covid 19 protocol isn't followed here, it gets packed and people can get very close to you. It's a good bar to "bar hop" to. They play R&B hip hop. Overall 3.5 stars from the cost, cleanliness, customer service, food, drinks, and so forth. read more

Cool place to pop in for yummy food and drinks. Try the quail balut and the mini eggrolls!

Very chill, great food. We always have a great time there with friends. Service is always great!

Food is good, service is great. Can't go wrong with anything they serve, but highly recommend the shaken beef.

This place is amazing. Anne Marie is so awesome. Im coming back asap! I recommend all the food. Great drink selection as well

I've visited this establishment a few times already in the past couple years. Coming from California, I always find Giau accommodating to large parties. The food and service is always excellent! In houston, cognac is very popular. We ordered 1738. The waitress also suggested chasing it with iced green tea. Looking at the rest of the tables, everyone else was doing the same! I have to say, it went well together. I don't think I can drink 1738 the same way again. Guess we liked it so much -- because we ordered 7 bottles!!!! FML We had the lau thai, which I thought was really good. Just a tad too sweet for my taste. It was a fun experience and I highly recommend Giau if you're looking for a fun time, decent priced bottles, great service and good food. read more
