We wanted to check out a restaurant in Houston that specializes in Oc and boy did they deliver! The portions were fairly priced giving the time and season. We left full and happy. The service was really nice we were always checked on by the sweetest waitress. The restaurant is really clean and we were seated immediately. I'll be back for sure! read more

I was on the hunt for a cold beer and quail egg balut and found this spot that stays open until 12 a.m. In addition to the quail egg balut, we also ordered the shrimp with tamarind, grilled scallops with garlic and green onion, and dry noodles with beef. For a late-night option, this spot was fine. Our waitress was able to accommodate the balut dish and serve it traditionally with herbs and salt and pepper for dipping. The scallops were flavorful and affordable, and the dry noodles were a solid post-drinking plate if you're trying to sober up. The shrimp, however, missed the mark. It was served raw, but it did not taste as fresh as I would have hoped. Overall, it worked for what we needed at the time, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to return sober. read more

This place is run down after ownership change. We gave it a couple of tries but they fail every time. They're constantly running promotions but don't even have food for customers. We came at 6pm and half of the menu was out. Their main promo is oysters but they were out of it... before dinner shift even starts lol. Service is lackluster for what appears to be an empty restaurant and then the cashier machine is not even working. We tried paying with cash but they didn't even have change... on a Friday Night. This isn't even the first time this happened so I can honestly said that this is a normal occurrence. The other customers that were there were equally frustrated. The most unfortunate thing is that the food isn't even bad. So I can only assume management is the problem. read more

Service was good. Friendly very fast but food was just ok. The lychee margarita was good. The quail balut was a bit mushy. The oysters were bland. Overall ok. Sake was $9/dish so deal was good to try a bunch of stuff read more

I came to One Hot Pot and Grill one night after I couldn't find Pho Binh at Night nearby. I decided to try some hot pot here. I remember when it first opened few years ago, they had many hot pot choices. But now, there are only 2, Thai Hot Pot and Vietnamese Crab Hot Pot. $29.99 each. It looks complicated to order. I came in with only 2 tables of customers left. I waited awhile to get to see the menu. Then, the employees gathered at the bar chatting. I can't remember how long it took for my dish to come. I even asked about it. I don't remember anyone apologized for the wait. I was about to walk out. But I didn't. I stayed and ate my Grilled Beef Rice Noodles (Bún Bò Nướng). Food was ok because the beef was cold. I would normally expect warm meat on cold salad. But oh well. Can't get my hot pot. So, not coming back. read more

We arrived around 9pm on a Friday and it was empty as can be. We ordered the thai hot pot- broth was on the sweeter side. Sliced beef was really thick but definitely precut and frozen. The noodles were not fresh and broken up. The combo seafood plate was good but missing the coriander herb that normally comes with this dish. Food was decent, service was good since we were the only ones there . My only complaint was the male server that's sitting in the corner on his phone hacking/coughing up or trying to clear his throat of something every 2 mins. It was disturbing while we were trying to eat. read more

Decent spot for some viet street style foods... the overwhelming star of the night was the banh bot chien... they probably serve the best version of this egg rice cake dish in town as it has a nice balance of crispiness and just the right amount of egg. Dare I say we liked this better than the famous one at Tan Tan. Everything else, though, was pretty standard vietnamese street food fare like grilled skewers and assorted rice and noodle dishes. Ironically, the beef hot pot itself was the least memorable part of the meal. Deep in Alief, I'd compare this closely with HEM just down the street. read more

Love the food here! Seasoning is definitely on par with actual Vietnamese street food. We absolutely loved the fried rice with fish eggs!! It also had Vietnamese sausage, egg, and small shrimps. There's a subtle wok flavor which complemented the rice beautifully. Grilled chicken feet was delicious! Wonderfully flavored and they should add a spicy option! Now here's the good part: snails! We ordered the combo snails and the variety was good. There were 5 different species of snails/clams that were grilled with peanuts and green onions! This dish also came with 3 dipping sauces. We thoroughly enjoyed it, the only complaint we had is that they should clean the clam/mussel more carefully because one or two of them were still sandy! Coconut snails were very rich and flavorful! There's a little heat which countered the coconut flavor beautifully! read more

Food and service was great and I would definitely come back! The place is kinda small and in my opinion, is only good for small groups of 4 people. Unless you're sitting at the bar or the booths, but when arrived, the booths were reserved for a party. Not sure if they serve alcoholic beverages either, but I know their known for their hot pots (hence their name), along with their grilled seafood. Came her with some girlfriends and although we didn't get to try their hotpot, we got to try several other dishes. Coconut snails were by far my absolute favorite! It is challenging to eat, but my technique is simple but might sound perverted. Suck the smaller end first, then suck the bigger end and the meat will easily come out. Suck hard because it gets stuck. Thank me later! Aside from all that, the combination plate offers literally a little bit of everything on the seafood section. We also got to try the octopus in the green sauce, mini egg rolls, Banh bot chien (egg and rice cake), and clams in lemongrass broth. Fried chicken feet was great! I never had chicken feet the way they make it, and it's definitely recommended! Had a good kick to it as well! Wonton soup and noodles were also pretty good. Corn dish was just okay... could go without ordering this. Regardless, service was friendly and food came out super fast! Our table was so full we couldn't fit anymore new dishes coming out! Definitely recommend coming here if you're a hot pot and seafood lover! Enjoy!!! read more

Things to know before coming: Can get super packed! So I recommend getting a reservation if possible! It's a very Vietnamese style oriented place! Quite small, so if you have a big gathering - it can be cramp. There are three things you HAVE to get on the menu: The combination platter! Combo Oc - it even comes with long pick sticks to easily take out the snails; also the green sauce it quite spicy, so I preferred dipping it only in fish sauce (definitely personal preference). Oc Mong Tay Nuong Mo Hanh - snails dripping garlic butter and onion oil! This is a fan favorite! :) Bo nuong Xa - grilled beef skewers in lemongrass. The beef literally fell off the stick - SO GEWD. Another favorite of mines have to also be the bot chien - which is fried rice cakes cooked in eggs! Pretty filling and I prefer it over the bot chien with chicken. IG - @piggieats_ read more

I've seen this place on social media so I decided to stop by for dinner. After I got seated with a menu I was ignored for a while. No drink order or anything. When a waitress finally came, I got a water, mini egg rolls, and beef skewers with satay sauce. The egg rolls were so good. I could eat a hundred of them. The weird thing was the sauce wasn't the traditional fish sauce you'd get with Vietnamese food, but a sweet/sour-ish one you'd get with a Chinese American egg roll. The beef skewers were pure salt. The dipping sauce as well. I was disappointed with that dish. I went to the counter to pay and was also waiting a while. No one was there and I just stood there until someone came out from the kitchen. read more

Great place for snacking/chilling with friends. The place is pretty dark. I'm assuming this place is for people who want to hang and drink since they have a bar island. We ordered the following: Chicken feet chili Thai clams in soup Blood clams in tamarind Bot chien Mi go reng beef The platter:includes a whole bunch of seafood Corn with baby shrimp Coconut snails I don't know if they did this on purpose or if it's always like that but the chicken feet were small. So small i thought I was eating pretzel sticks. Barely any skin, that good stuff. Flavor was there but it was impossible to eat without getting slobber all on you The Thai clams were my least favorite. The flavor was okay, but the clams were over cooked and a bit rubbery Blood clams were good! A nice balance of tamarind and sweetness. Small, but yummy! The bot chien is delicious. I usually don't know where to go when getting this, so I'd go to tan tan but here they make it extra crispyyyyyy. Mmmm. My favorite place now for this. Mi go reng beef was okay. Lacked flavor. It was basically rau muong with beef and ramen noodles. It tasted just like that. It needed soy sauce from the bot chien. Hehe The platter was great! I really love the presentation. Specifically because I love variety of these babies. The snails were not over cooked like most places, the green sauce was okay, fish sauce was good for these. They provide you sticks for easy consumption. Pretty great scallops, delicious garlic! The mussels were flavorful! Corn with baby shrimp was a bit dry but nice flavor to enjoy with the spread. The coconut snails was thicccc. What I mean is, the sauce was as thick as pudding! They tried to keep it hot by lighting a fire but it went out within a few min. The snails were nicely cooked, hard to suck out but worth the work. Overall, happy with the food, prices were reasonable, quick service, my new fav place! read more

I was really looking forward to this when visiting Houston. It's often hard to find shell fishes like in Vietnam so it was really nice coming here to get my seafood fix. We ordered the oc mong tai- long fingernail shellfish (not literally fingernails just the name) smothered in tamarind sauce. It tasted so good. We then got the shellfish combo platter which was grilled and topped with fried garlic and green onions. They came out with several sauces, and they were all soooo good as well. Finally, we got the beef hot pot with ramen noodles, and the broth was cooked with perfection with some herbs in there. The beef was tender and soft, the only complaint was that their veggies that came with the hot pot wasn't as fresh, some were bad. But overall, I loved the place, the restaurant is a bit small and we got there right before the rush dinner hour. It will be a place I hope to return. read more

Saddest plate of shaking beef (Bo Luc Lac) I've ever seen. I know we're always supposed to get more rice than meat of course, but I've never seen such a bad ratio. I figured maybe it's more than meets the eye and that the taste might make up for it but boy was I wrong. The rice was so dry that I wasn't sure if I was eating overcooked, old rice or rice that hadn't even been cooked yet. And for $13-14, saying the plate is "not worth the price" is an understatement. Maybe the rest of their menu is good, I don't know. Based off this order though, I would be hesitant to come back. For two-thirds the price, you can get a way better portioned (and better tasting) rice plate elsewhere all along Bellaire Blvd and in Chinatown. I would rate 1.5 stars, but the beef was fairly decent so 2 stars for that. read more

Different and new places so wanted to check it out. Their street style food is good. Some are better than others. Might have to come back and give their hot pot a try. (4/5): CHEM CHEP NUONG MO HANH: 12 cooked MUSSELS with onion oil. These had great flavor and nicely cooked. (3/4): BOT CHIEN: EGG CREPE with dough slices. Compared to other places this one for me lacked eggs so it wasn't as thick and fluffy. It also lacked the crispy crunch. You can just get better at different locations (4/5): MUC NUONG DAI HAN: Whole grilled SQUID with Korean influenced flavor. The cook was good because it wasn't too chewy or slimy. (3/5): MI HOANH THANH: The charsiu (pork slices) was dry. The WONTONS just lacked flavor in general. My friend was craving something soupy. They gave us 2 smaller bowls so we could share and it was easy to split (3/5): COMBO OC: Visual very appealing. It comes with 6 different types of shellfish such as MUSSELS, SCALLOPS, CLAMS, and SNAILS. This is the perfect sharing size for a party of 3 since it came with 3 of each. Good variety. The snails in the big black shells were so fishy. It wasn't seasoned well enough to mask that briny flavor. You would have to dip it in a lot of sauce. read more

This review is for the only item we purchased to go. Our experience was probably closer to 3.5 stars overall, but not 4, so rounding down to 3. However, feel free to ignore my review completely since I don't normally order sea snails, but came here with the bestie. We called our order in ahead of time and our Oc Len Xao Dua/Spicy Coconut Sea Snails ($12.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Akp3KCm0ZIrGNss-nJA1Ng&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg) were ready when we arrived. The sea snails were fresh, and I thought they gave us a good amount; however, my friend thought it was on the pricier side compared to other places she's been in LA. Also, the spicy coconut sauce needed more spice, and more umami. We liked the consistency, but it was too sweet. However, there aren't many places that sell this dish in the Houston area, so worth purchasing from here if you have a craving. Indoor seating was available, but I didn't see any outdoor dining. This plaza was busy, but there were spots available. read more

Typical Asian parents problems: anywhere you take them, they will never be satisfied and always something to complain about. Thanks to Judy N's recommendation, my parents gave a thumbs up to One Hot Pot & Grill! Tons of unique dishes from clams & squid to goat & chicken feet. They even have traditional rice plates so your whole gang will have something to enjoy. Their banh bot chien (fried rice cakes with egg) is better and crispier than Tan Tan. Taking shots at the undefeated champ but I'm not the only one that said it... Our only issue with the food was the clams weren't cleaned thoroughly. 1/5 clams were almost inedible due to dirt and sand. Service is not like your typical run down bellaire restaurant either, yay! read more

I really enjoy the hot pots here. This is my go to place to satisfy my craving for curry coconut snails and grilled skewers. I was here last Saturday and ordered the curry coconut snails (suck it out on one end to thoroughly enjoy), Thai seafood hot pot (served with Vietnamese canh chua veggies, seafood, vermicelli noodles, and beef), along with some grilled pork skewers. It was my first time ordering the pork skewers and I will definitely order it again. It's thinly sliced, perfectly grilled with slightly charred bits, topped with sautéed green onions and crunchy peanuts. See my photos of the dishes mentioned here. Service is hit or miss. On this night, we came an hour before closing and service was great. This is my go to place for very affordable hot pot. How can you say no to $19 delicious Thai Seafood hot pot?! read more

I wish I found this place sooner! I didn't know Houston had Asian grilled seafood place and I've been looking for this kind of restaurant for years. The sea snail dish was AMAZING. The coconut milk sauce is so creamy and sweet and savory at the same time. It is a bit hard to suck it out of the shell but it's kind of fun at the same time. The grilled seafood combo was good but the scallop had sands so I had to spit it out. The crab hotpot was interesting too... I would want to try other hotpot next time but worth trying it.

I love coming here for Vietnamese street/bar food. They have a wide selection of seafood, snails, hot pots, etc tapas style. Everything is pretty good overall for not having access to fresh snails. My favorite is the deep fried pig knuckles (gio heo chien gion)! They also have pretty good stir fried corn with salted duck egg, grilled squid, skewered grilled items. I hate the seating though. When it's busy, the wait is long and no place to sit. If all the tables are full, they have bar top to eat. But, the bar stool seats are way too tall for the bar top. So it's uncomfortable to eat for longer than 5 minutes. read more

I have a mixed feeling for this place, maybe 3.5 stars fits it more. The food overall tasted fairly good. Lau cua dong was a bit disappointed, hmm..not much like the cua dong taste in VN. Grilled beef skews were flavorful (actually slightly over-seasoning) and very tender. My favorite dish here is oc huong nuong muoi ot', it is a must if you decide to try out this place after finish reading my comment. Good food but why 3.5 stars? They put SMG (bot ngot) in every single thing. Not just a little, but tons and tons of them in all food. They even put SMG in just salt and pepper (muoi tieu chanh) to dip the snails in. Then what item would they spare from SMG. The food tasted good, mainly bc of SMG. I'm not sure if i want to come back again, felt unhealthy already. read more
