I've tried so many different ones in Texas but very few are even close to the quality and TLC made at Chez Pierre. I can't get enough of the buttery, flaky, golden goodness with each savory bite of pure deliciousness! I pre-order them by the dozen to share with visiting family and friends. Everyone who has tried the pate chaud absolutely LOVESSSS them!!! Take one bite and you'll be hooked for life! And while since you're already here, be sure to grab some deliciously potent Vietnamese iced coffee (cafe sua da) to energize your day. Their Vietnamese sandwiches are legit as well for a quick meal on the go. Have a sweet tooth? Their display is full of the most beautifully crafted and yummy pastries/sweets/etc - pick your guilty pleasure! I like to order their cakes for special occasions. Crowd faves are the fruit chantilly cake or the pandan cake- the cakes are light, airy, and not overly sweet. The Chez Pierre staff are always welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable about all their menu items. I've only had positive experiences and I know you will love them too! This is your reminder to hurry over for the pate chaud- I promise you will thank me later :)

I was shocked to learn of drinks made with kidney beans was on the menu. The kidney beans are said to be sweet. I promised to try it, as it's quite hard to fathom kidney beans would be sweet. That will be my drink of choice next time. But this time, I tried a more fruity drink and It was quite pleasing to me. There was ice cream at the very top and the cashier suggested that I hurry and eat that before it melted I did what she said, and I had two treats in one drink. The ice cream and then the gummy's at the very bottom. It was like eating gummy bears or gummy worms with a dessert drink. Every mouthful was chewy and flavorful. To be noted, there are non-dairy options as well. Don't get scared. So many items to choose from, dessert drinks & banh-mi sandwiches, mango this, kidney beans that... with so many items on the menu that just means I have to return and try more of the concoctions. Shared parking lot. But it doesn't look like most people come and stay alone while. Although there are tables inside where you can sit and maybe do some computer work or read a book the average Joe picks up their drink and goes their way.

The restaurant sets off cute date or special event night vibes with its trendy, inviting atmosphere. I love how the bar and main dining area are separated- you can either dine at the tables or go next door to hang out for drinks. We stopped by for a late lunch and were greeted warmly by our sweet waitress Mikayla. She was very helpful and patient with any questions we had with items on the menu. Service was stellar A+++ !!! Now onto the incredible FOOD: Bo Ne - filet mignon steak cubes & eggs (10/10): When an entree comes out sizzling & the aroma wakes you up- you know it has to be AMAZINGLY FLAVORFUL & FANTASTIC! Spread the butter & pate on the toasted bread, then use it to soak up all the INCREDIBLE flavor explosion from the sizzling steak & eggs!!! *VOILA chef's kiss* (side note: I grew up in Houston & had Bo Ne fairly regularly & I honestly think Ba Chi elevates this dish to another realm!!!) Curry clams & fries (10/10): I was worried I wouldn't like it because I wanted mussels, which were unavailable. To my surprise, this dish was another great hit !!! The yellow curry flavors were unique - a bit of heat & spice but not overwhelming. Next time, I would ask for the fries to be served on the side so that they stay crispy! We really wanted to slurp down a gallon of the curry- it really was THAT good! Pro tip: get a side of vermicelli noodles (or rice), mix it with the leftover curry & proceed to gobble it all up if you have room left in your tummy! Spicy lemongrass chicken wings (8/10): These were good-sized wings that packed a little punch with the spice! We enjoyed the spicy lemongrass flavor of the crispy wings (be aware that not everyone has a palate for lemongrass- they have other flavors available for those less adventurous eaters). DRINK: Dragon Slay-Her: what a gorgeous & beautiful drink - the dragon fruit margarita was a specialty cocktail I've never had before and I LOVED IT !!! (10/10) Their espresso martini with ube foam is another popular cocktail & I look forward to trying it on my next visit! TL; DR: If you're wanting to FIRE UP and add some PIZAZZ & all that jazz to your fabulous foodie life, then make lunch/dinner/drink plans for Ba Chi! You'll have the best dining experience there with quality food and top notch service! We LOVEDDD & enjoyed our dining experience today!

Food is Good. Service is abysmal. We've been dining at NUDO on Houma Blvd for over 2 years now and always enjoyed the food and service. This all changed during the past two visits, including today, 8-30-2025. Saturday 8-30-25 about 1:00 pm, we went to NUDO for lunch. The place is rather small and was busy, but there were several open tables. We chose a table and sat down. The young man came and took our order quickly, and brought us our drinks. That was the last interaction we had with him. We ordered a Pork Rice bowl and a Pork Vermicelli bowl, our usual order, which generally arrives in under 10 minutes. The young man server walked past us numerous times over the next 25 minutes and avoided eye contact. Numerous other people came in, sat down, ordered ate and left but 20+ minutes later we had not been served. I tried to get the servers attention but he always hurried away. We finally had enough and got up to leave. I told the woman at the cash register about the incident, she was rather surprised, as we dine there a lot and she recognizes us and we always tip very well. I told her we had waited for 25 minutes and not received our food, while several other diners had come and gone after we were seated. This is the second time in a row this has happened to us by the same server. We will NOT be returning to NUDO ever again. There are too many other restaurants in the choose from. Your server ignored us and it cost you our business, permanently, and all my acquaintances will hear of this. read more

This was my first visit to Nudo and it was well worth it! The service was a little slow, but once the food arrived, I completely understood why. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The brisket pho was rich and comforting, and the portions were generous. Despite the wait, the staff was kind, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. I'll definitely be back the food alone made the visit worth every minute. Highly recommend trying it! read more

At Nudo, I tried the Steamed Lemongrass Chicken Bao and the Nudo Fusion Wings. The bao was soft and filled with flavorful, tender chicken that had a hint of lemongrass. The wings were a perfect balance of crispy and juicy, with a unique fusion of spices that made them stand out. The vibe in the restaurant was modern and lively, and the service was quick and friendly. It's a great spot for a casual meal with some exciting flavors. read more

No water was offered when we were seated, which would have been a nice touch. Despite these issues, I still enjoyed the food overall.
