But drinks, spring rolls, banh mi, vermicelli/rice plates are also their jam. Definitely on the pricier side for Vietnamese food and not truly authentic (but guess it's pretty far from Alief / Bellaire here), but I enjoyed the flavors anyways! ** 5 spice tofu vermicelli: this beautiful plate came with big fluffy pieces of tofu that were nicely fried, but the tofu itself had only a hint of the 5 spice flavor. It came with a very sweet, light fish sauce (?) that amped up the flavor, and there are sriracha and hoisin sauces on each table if needed. The medley of carrots, cabbage, and cilantro added some crunch and color. It wasn't oily or overly filling, and I'm happy I tried it :) ** BBQ pork banh mi: solid banh mi with some pickled veggies inside. Take out the jalepeno if you don't like spicy! The pork is a little on the fattier side. We added a fried egg as suggested by the staff (man, eggs are expensive right now!), and it was a little overcooked since we usually like the slightly runny yolk for banh mi. The bread wasn't overly crispy that it poked the roof of your mouth. ** Shrimp tempura: more of a fried shrimp than the Japanese tempura style, but still tasty! These came piping hot with pickled carrots too. Doesn't taste very "shrimpy," which may be good depending on who you ask. It's a clean and sort of fun, airy atmosphere. You order at the cashier first and the water, utensils, boxes, etc are self-serve. The staff were friendly. Definitely bring a jacket-- they had fans circulating cold air and it was chilly! Would return for their lunch offerings if in the area and to try the drinks and bubble waffles :D

They also offered catfish, fried chicken, good sweet cornbread, Koolaid and soda. Desserts were down home also, offering banana pudding, peach cobbler, and cakes. I definitely enjoyed my short ribs, cabbage, collard greens and cornbread. Definitely good eats! Service was fast and the ambiance was nice and relaxing. They have a great music playlist. I really enjoyed. Great space for a group or event. They also cater. Senior specials are also available with the exception of a few menu items.

    This is a huge restaurant in front of Walmart that looks like it doubles as a night club. They do…read morehave a stage in the middle rear of the dining room, afterall. I visited for lunch on a weekday where they have daily specials which save a few dollars off of the regular price. Upon reaching the steam table their digital display still had the previous days entrees, so I had to wait to get up to the counter to see the selection for the day which consists of 6-7 entrees. With the regular meals, you receive an entree, 2 sides, rice and cornbread. They offer tea, Pepsi products and for alcohol, it's beer, wine and daiquiris. They have loud r&b music playing in the background. I chose the "red" meatloaf (they have brown or red sauce), collards and Mac n cheese. Keep in mind they serve your food and drinks in to go packaging, regardless of whether you dine in, or get it to go. Food portions are large too. The meatloaf portion I received was large, delicious and juicy. The slice was around 2 inches thick. The mac n cheese was good, and actually ended up being my favorite item. The collards are pretty typical with a lot of vinegar and cooked for a long time. Below the meatloaf was a base of white rice and brown gravy which is basically a filler. You receive 2 cornbread muffins, which I don't really eat but I ate a couple bites and they are pretty sweet. The owner/manager was friendly and greeted me while in line, stopped by my table to check on me, and even said goodbye as I was leaving.

    How good a sandwich can be! My buddy & I have been working down the street & have eaten here…read moreeveryday! No clue why they are so good! Dec 30 2025 I'm NOT very hungry but we each order a ham sandwich with everything on it, but onions, mine toasted his not... Victor brings them out and we enter the glorious realm where the excellent things are! Men don't have to describe deliciousness in words we just make sounds which I don't know how to spell! Still NOT hungry we order another! Victor brings them out and the next is just as amazing as the first! Now my daughter is a culinary school graduate and she makes amazing foods and has worked in 5 star restaurants serving incredible foods with high prices. Focaccia Bakery right off I69/59 has 5 star restaurant quality for a regular price. I apologize for my simple vocabulary that I can NOT describe how amazing these sandwiches are. So I will stop & challenge you to do a better job of describing just how good they really are, I double dog dare you!

I stopped by finally…read moreafter seeing the name come up on yelp and google and immediately I was taken by surprise that it is connected to a gas station, but do not let that deter you! It is tastefully decorated and the people are SO kind. Their menu is perfect for whatever taste you have and he even gave me a sample of their focaccia bread, SO GOOD! I got the garden sandwich and it is the perrrfect blend of flavor, warmth, and crisp. Can't wait to go
