    Beef crispy flat noodles, shrimp fried rice, and egg noodle soup
    jasmine n.

    Food is amazing! Well deserved the pricings (my bad for the late pictures me and my family were busy eating), filling too! Service was casual and nice, and ambiance is also causal too, very chill! Would go again when I have the time

    Bot chien
    Alex G.

    Was craving bop chien and heard this place is good for it! It came out quickly and was suuuper hot. I think they deep fry the rice cakes first then cook it with the eggs. It was super crispy and tasty. The sauce was also really good!! It was pretty quiet for a Thursday afternoon, but its a big space and probs fills up later. Would come again for this and for ther foods!

    NS1. Wonton Noodle Soup
    Angelica C.

    This place got pretty busy around 12:30pm (Monday) so I would suggest getting here earlier to avoid the rush. It was our first time and we all got the Wonton Noodle soup that comes with bbq pork, shrimp and pork wontons and egg noodles. It was good but I've definitely had better. The broth needed a tad more flavor. We also shared the rice flour cake with egg, which was ok as well but I'll probably just get it this one time. Hao Hao is a solid spot for authentic Vietnamese food. It seems as if it's been around for a while and no one smiles and gives you exceptional customer service so you know it's legit. It's very clean inside and their fish are nice to look at.

    Our favorite place for some comfort foods. Love their wonton noodles soup & mi vit tiem! Spacious place with fast service.

    Excellent take out. One of the only places in town that does ap chao! Food was delicious.

    Been here a few times and the food is mediocre but will satisfy my belly. The service is not that great. My bf loves the banh bot chien because they come out extra crispy. It simple and I like the fact they open a little late. Wish they had more vegetarian options though.

    Another favorite stop for Chinese-Vietnamese food! They used to be located across the street on Cook Rd until they relocated to their new current location two years ago. The space throughout the restaurant is a bit bigger and the restrooms were not too bad compared their old Cook locations. From eating here earlier this morning, I think they changed owners and have new cooks and some new servers. Our go-to here is always bánh bột chiên, which is my 2nd favorite after Tan Tan on Bellaire and this time it was good and crispy and worth to die for! After trying the general tso's chicken, crispy shrimp w/ a side of sweet and sour garlic sauce, and fried rice w/ shrimp and salted fish, I wanted to try their bún thịt nớng chả giò after being in a mood to have some of it. The vermicelli bowl is good and the grilled pork was good w/ enough fat in it. I will still try to come back here next time my family and I drive down to Bellaire! :)

    Haven't been here for awhile but I've been visiting lately and the food isn't bad. I think they have one of the best bánh bột chiên and fried rice in Houston. The food isn't as oily and is quite flavorful.

    Large mi wonton in the back, small mi wonton in the front. Banh bot chien and pickled green papaya as apps. Get the banh bot chien
    Christine N.

    Great little spot. Everyone wore masks and people were socially distanced. Clean inside the restaurant. Food was fresh and wasn't a long wait. We ordered the mi hoanh thanh (mi wonton) and a banh bot chien. -Mi hoanh thanh had a clean broth, but we like the broth at phanh ky and pho hai van more. Wontons were tasty. I think it was shrimp and pork filling. They were generous with wontons which I appreciated. Still good bowl of mi hoanh thanh nonetheless. -Banh bot chien is their specialty and a must get. Very crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Not soggy or oily. The outside layer stayed crunchy even towards the end of our meal. Lots of fried shallot and fresh scallions on top. Comes with a side of shredded pickled green papaya. I loved the combination together! Dipping sauce was the sweet vinegar soy sauce that typically comes with banh bot chien. We will be back to try other stuff.

    Review is about safety the food was delicious. Well we came last week when we arrived everything seemed normal we ordered with the waiter who was wearing a mask go right. Then the owner brings are food with a big smile on his unmasked face I gambled and stayed. Then saw others working had removed there mask I guess because we didn't complain well we shouldn't have to should we. Come on it's a matter of public safety and protection of others from thous who may be infected wearing mask does little to protect yourself. Unfortunately we have had this experience three times this week will be reviewing on the other places as well.

    I came here quite some time ago for dinner with a friend and we were promptly seated. The menu has a wide array of dishes (soups, pho, noodles, rice, etc) and I had no trouble finding something I liked. I ordered the Garlic Spicy Chicken while my friend got a vermicelli dish. I asked if they had Thai tea and they said they had it bottled. When it came out they had put it in a glass of ice for me. The Thai tea didn't taste fresh (of course) and it wasn't my favorite. My food came out within 10 minutes. We waited for my friend's food as I hate eating before everyone has gotten their food. It took a while to come out, about 10-15 more minutes. It would have been nice if our food could have come out together. The food was good however. I enjoyed my chicken dish and there was SO MUCH food. I had leftovers for another meal or two. My friend also enjoyed her vermicelli. Our servers were kind and we had a good experience.

    I feel like every Vietnamese food newcomer should try the Bot Chien

    Wow. Glad we checked this out while in the r Galleria area. We saw this restaurant on TV as a top…read morerated NY deli. Lots of seating, great wait staff, and the sandwiches are gigantic--as they should be for the price. $30 for a sandwich on average. We split an open face pastrami (which they brought an extra plate) and we are glad we did. The potato salad is tiny. Too much sandwich for one but not enough potato salad for two! The pickles they provide before your sandwich arrives are yummy- not like a traditional out of the bar pickle. These are what I remember from NYC. Garlic and not sweet. We also had the apple pie alamode. Also pricey and gigantic. It was warm and delicious. Glad we tried this icon. We went at lunch and they get quite the crowd. You are not rushed at all. You can even take some bakery items to go--if you are too full to eat there. Amazing selection of cookies, rugala, black and white cookies and more.

    A big part of the decades long success at Local Foods has been their commitment to consistency…read more Their casual setting with excellent service is one thing, but quality executed food that is simple and seasonal will always go a long way. Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.

One friend had the Thai steak salad and I had the veggie burger made with quinoa, beets and other vegetables. Wow...is what I will say!!! It was so flavorful and the focaccia bun (not gluten free) was incredible! Plus the double cooked fries were delicious! Oh, the side potato salad and kale salad were also delicious! I look forward to being back there next time I'm in Houston!!
