    Located on White Oak and Studemont in a fairly high traffic area. Parking is not great, there is a tiny lot with 4-5 spaces up front and besides that, it'll be street parking. Service is very minimal; ordering is done up front and the food is brought to you. The menu is big has most of the regularly Vietnamese options. It felt off the bat like the menu wasn't leaning towards the authentic side but catering to the Americanized versions of the dishes. Prices are also on the higher end of expectations. Their spring rolls are fine; fairly average. Their bowl of pho at $14.5 is also very average in terms of flavor and portion size. Nothing extraordinary; at least the bowl did come with some fresh veggies. The spicy bone marrow appetizer was a bit underwhelming; their rich flavor was a bit lacking; there were leftovers. Their smoothies were perfectly fine and fairly mild in flavor; their boba has pretty decent texture. Overall, it's a Vietnamese spot in a very good part of town for lunch and dinner traffic but you can definitely find more authentic spots in Chinatown, and still find more value friendly options nearby.

    Solid four stars. The soup actually took much longer than normal places, which is fine. It's a cute restaurant. The broth was maybe just less sweet less flavorful than expected. I had the beef ribs and it was pretty good. My Daughter had the rare steak and the steak wasn't as high-quality as other places, but the noodles were good.

    This is some of the best pho I've ever had. Rivals the pho I had in San Jose, CA in Little Saigon. The meat balls in the pho are literally perfect. I want to drown in their broth when I die. Service is super friendly and nice. The atmosphere is so cozy and fun. And there are so many bars near here if you'd wanna bar hop after. I cannot count how many times we've been back and they're my go-tp on DoorDash when I'm feeling sick :') My favorite soup/noodle dish is their pho with just meatballs. Their meatballs are perfect. My husband loves their lemongrass beef banh mi!

    Spicy bone marrow special 5/5 Vermicelli Lemongrass Beef 4/5 Came here on accident because my friend misheard the restaurant name but this place is overall a plesant surprise. The Vermicelli bowl was good though not the memorable but the spicy bone marrow special was absolutely amazing. It came out sizzling and is actually pretty spicy. The restaurant itself looks very modern and clean. However, the only down side is that the parking is an absolute pain in the area. There is only a couple parking spots in front of the store, which is nowhere near enough for the number of restaurants in the area. I ended up having to park on the street 3-4 blocks away.

    Came in on a Wednesday night. Food 4.5/5: ordered a large pho and their pork spring roll. Really enjoyed the spring roll, pho was good but fairly average in houston Ambiance 2.5/5: very rustic feel which has it's own charm but perhaps too rustic, feels a little rundown. Also docked points for parking situation. Service 4/5: friendly, polite. Utensils, water and condiments are self serve. Value 4/5: 16$ for a large bowl of pho and 8$ for the spring rolls. Fairly average for pho but pho tends to be pretty good value as far as food goes. Overall 3.8: good food at a decent price. Very casual, self service Parking: small parking lot that was packed, paid parking next door for 7$ or street parking that is really hard to find.

    Beef Rib Pho

    Food - I love the pho here, the broth is light and delicious! I've tried almost all the pho in the loop and I have to say this might be my favorite broth so far. The beef rib was also so tender! The flavor and texture / quality noodles were ok I think they could be better. The combo rolls we're OK I think the spring roll was better than the fried roll but they could change up the ratio of the Content a little bit. Service - casual order up front Ambiance - casual Parking - the parking here is really terrible. There's almost always, no parking. I wish they could plan for a better parking spot for the customers.

    For the price it was good! I've definitely had more flavorful pho at a different place but the bowl itself was around 13 dollars for a decent amount. The place had a decent amount of seating at around 40 people. Food was in and out fast.

    P12. Chicken with Soup on The Side
    Arseno W.

    This may have been my 1st time trying Pho Binh but it will not be my last. Met a friend at this restaurant and after looking at the menu i had no idea what I wanted due to all the options looked amazing so I allowed the waitress to pick for me. She mentioned her favorite dish is the P12. Chicken with Soup on The Side & i can totally understand why she loves it. I ate the entire bowl. The broth comes on the side so you have to mix it together but this was a MUST TRY dish. Then we had the egg rolls and they were fried perfectly with then light sauce. Amazing. Lastly the dumplings were good. I didn't know if i wanted steamed or fried so they mentioned i could get 1/2 fried and 1/2 steamed. Steamed is good but the fried dumplings are amazing.

    Outstanding atmosphere, delicious food, and AWESOME service . Ruby and the rest of the staff make you feel right at home. The food is absolutely scrumptious and satisfying.

    Pho ever! So was trying to do a delivery but forgot to click the button so had a pick up. Very close, less than 5 minutes so wasn't too worried about the drive time. It was roughly 5ish on a weekday so it wasn't busy. There seemed to be a few online orders and it took an additional 20 min wait time even tho I got notice that my order was ready way before I arrived. I think maybe they were waiting on the dumplings and focusing on the pho orders. The inside is cute and fits in with the Heights. Very aesthetic. The parking is trash but it is on White Oak. Street parking. Ordered pho with lean steak and meatballs, fried dumplings ( x 2 - b1g1free) and 2 Thai ice teas (b1g1free). Got home within 6-7 min of leaving and the soup was not even hot. Heated it up to get the lean steak cooked a bit and the flavor was nice. The beef broth wasn't as deep and meaty as other spots but it fixed my craving well enough. The fried dumplings were ok and Thai tea was standard. The amount of food with the special offers was a win. I'm not against returning and possibly eating there to get the full effect.

    The pho here is fantastic! Ambiance: it's a nice and unique spot, very chill. There's different kinds of tables and chairs. Food: the P3 bowl is my absolute favorite, the brisket and steak are amazing, the broth is flavorful, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. This is very lean meat which I love, if you like lean beef in your pho this is an amazing choice. The dumplings here aren't my favorite, I will say that the fried dumplings are better than the steamed ones. Service: They are always kind and fast which is appreciated. Parking: parking here is honestly a gamble. There's very few spots and street parking is complicated (lots of rules and parts you can't park on). Beware of this during busy times.

    Excellent spot in Houston. Very nice ambiance but know that you order at counter and they bring food to the table. It's still has the vibe of a sit down fancy spot. The spring rolls were amazing D was the pho. Would be regular here if I lived in Houston

    Egg rolls are yummy
    Jasmine D.

    We've been here a few times as it is a short walk from us & enjoy their food! The only thing that gets us is that they are very stingy with the chili oil for some reason?? Every time we've gone & asked for more, they will hesitate to give us a few small containers. We found it odd as in other Pho spots we go to, they have the chili oil on the table for you lol. So for us, as we are big spicy lovers, it's disappointing but other than that it is a solid place. A bit pricey but I think that is normal for the area Wish they'd have a seafood option as well!

The filling is placed in a pan and then a thin layer of batter made with tumeric and coconut milk yellow batter is poured on top. You wrap the lettuce around the bánh xèo/bánh khọt and dip it in the fish sauce. I got the bánh khọt and the bò né. Bánh khọt is like a mini, thicker version of bánh xèo and came with nine pieces. Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them. It's nice having an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our area, close to us, so we don't have to make the trek to Bellaire every time we crave some Viet food!

I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

When I arrived there was nobody dining in the restaurant, that was a bit worrying, but I figured it was a bit early for the dinner crowd and late for the lunch crowd. Food & Drink - 4.5* First up was the noodles, I enjoyed them, but I wouldn't say the hype I'd heard about from some others was there. They had nice flavor, but there just wasn't anything "special." 3.5* Then it was on to the crawfish, and my oh my. Superb, the flavor is delicious and unique. This more than made up for the noodles dish. The potato and corn was good too. Service - 5* Solid. When I first arrived the owner was quietly reading a newspaper and eating his own lunch. He paused to greet me and advised that I could sit anywhere. He provided water and adequate time to determine what I wanted to order. The food came out quickly and he checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok. As time went by, the crowd of folks showing up increased quite a bit and he still managed to check in on tables consistently. Pricing - 4* This is where it was odd. Always subjective but I found the noodles to be overpriced for not only the size but what I felt was a pretty simple dish. The crawfish on the other hand was priced very competitively and made up for the overpriced noodles. I provided pics of the menu for someone to make their own assessment but in general I thought many of the dishes were pricier than they probably should be. I know inflation is certainly killing many businesses and consumers but even these felt a bit off. Overall - 4.5* This is definitely going to be one of my go tos for crawfish when in the area. The flavor is fantastic, the pricing is good, the size of them were solid. There are a couple of other dishes I may try on the next visit. The restaurant is clean, the owner is very nice, and it's a nice low key space to just enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

I believe the crawfish is seasonal, so go during crawfish season because this pho was delicious. The crawfish were so tender and the pho was so flavorful.

I would definitely lock your doors and take all your valuables. But that's all or Houston, so just stay safe!

I thought I had over ordered and probably did, but everything was so damn good, I finished it all. 5/5 Coconut coffee - this was my first time trying this.

Lord and waistline willing, I would consume one of these everyday. The contrasts of hot and cold, the bitterness of coffee with the creaminess of coconut. It all balanced and went so well together.

I've been going here for several years, both in person and for take-outs, and they have never failed to impress me. I like to go here for late lunch or early dinner when the restaurant isn't as busy. The restaurant is in the same shopping center as the Chase Bank and Thanh Da Quan. Even though it's located on the far side of Chinatown near My Hoa Market, the drive is definitely worth it. The restaurant is small and well decorated, and the workers are nice. The dishes are a bit pricey compared to other Vietnamese restaurants for the portion size, but the taste and quality definitely make it worth it. Even my parents, who are super picky when it comes to Vietnamese restaurants, love the food at Com Nieu Houston. Like the name, most of the dishes here are in clay pots. Everything is always super flavorful and perfectly cooked. My absolute favorites are the Thit Ba Chi Kho To (caramelized pork belly), the Suon Non Rim To (braised spare ribs) and the Canh Chua Tom (Vietnamese sweet and sour soup with shrimps). I also really love their Com Chien Ca Man (salted fish & chicken fried rice), which I think is one of the best in town, as well as their Ga Kho Xa Ot (braised lemongrass chicken). The Ca Bong Lau Kho To (caramelized catfish) is my parents' favorite. Photos are from my most recent visit.

I found a new spot to hyperfixate on whenever I come to houston.

    One of my favorite spots in Houston! Not your usual Vietnamese pho spot, amazing small dishes…read more Must get the banh beo chen - I recommend at least 8 per person and doctoring it up with the fish sauce and jalapeño. My favorite appetizers (in order): Banh beo chen, Banh ram it, banh bot loc, egg rolls, crystal dumplings. Personally I wasn't a fan of the paste-y texture of the banh nam but that is a personal preference! Service is not the most hospitable but very quick. We were reseated after spotting a cockroach under our table. But even so I would come back to have this amazing food any day.

    Came in to eat on a Saturday night around 8PM. They take walk ins, but we made reservations and I…read moream so glad we did. Upon arriving, every table was taken except our table w a reserved sign on it. The restaurant was bustling, but I could still hear my husband over the music and noise. The menu is huge!!! I didn't know where to start. But our server, Vanessa, helped us make a few choices. We started off w bánh xèo tostadas, bánh béo, & carpaccio. Then we had calamari and their steak special. I asked for a side of papaya slaw for some veggies. My favorite dish of the night was the carpaccio. So many flavors perfectly melded together. Loved the crunch of the fried onions and peanuts. 10/10 dish, in my opinion. Authentic banh xèo usually has an airier, crisp crepe, but theirs was more crunchy - great for their tostada take. Very flavorful. Each piece had one shrimp, but plenty of pork belly bites. The nuoc mam drizzled on it was tasty. Fried calamari - this is a big dish for, I believe, $'19. I prefer the dipping sauce on the side so that the batter doesn't get soggy. This did happen here, but it didn't stop us from finishing every last bite. The green sauce was good, not the usual dipping sauce for fried calamari. Steak special - they have another steak dish on their menu, but this one was pepper crusted w smashed potatoes. The potatoes were super crispy and flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked - a beautiful pink medium rare. The portion was huge and justified the $39 price point. The staple steak dish came with a papaya slaw and I had to have it. It was bright and limey - I can see why they serve it with their steak. Bánh beo - my least favorite of the night. A bit thicker than I like. Still good, but there were a lot of other great dishes that I could easily pass on this one. Try their hibiscus artichoke tea.

    In the mood for elevated Asian/Vietnamese in the Heights with cool, modern vibes? Check out Moon…read moreRabbit. Made a reservation for 4 via Resy. Easy peasy. We got there 15 minutes before to make sure we could find parking. They have a small lot but all the spaces were taken despite being before 6 pm on a weekday. And a few spots had noticeable broken glass so be careful. We fortunately found street parking close by; double checked the signs because I ain't getting towed for nothing. Then I double checked inside with staff to make sure where I parked was ok. On to the food: we got several happy hour appetizer items: soy garlic wings, Brussels sprouts, bao bun, roasted oysters. All was good but not amazing. I then ordered the pho tai chinh for myself - I was quite impressed with the portions and the price! Wifey got the lemongrass pork banh mi - good but not amazing. Overall I would say the food taste and portions were good, but note this is elevated Asian cuisine, so it'll run you $20-$30 minimum. Now the service - definitely super friendly staff. It was our first time there so maybe they brought out the extra friendliness. Even the chef came out and greeted us to make sure we liked the food. Waitress was very kind and checked on our table a LOT. Almost too much. Overall a good experience, yummy food, not a fan of the parking (a common problem in the Heights), and expensive for Asian food but that's expected. Enjoy!

It comes in a set of 2 but we got a 3 pack! I ordered the grilled branzino and let me tell you! That chimichurri sauce !! Clutch! It is demonetisation and truly grilled to perfection. My friends ordered the filet mignon and the chicken and they were equally as impressed! I ordered the espresso mousse for dessert which comes out in the shape of a coffee bean. Cuteeee and perfect!

This is a higher end fine dining restaurant so you should expect the portion sizes and price to be pretty comparable to a lot of other finer dining restaurants. Overall the food's flavor was fantastic. I ordered the king salmon clay pot. I thought the salmon was so tasty! They added pepper and sauce to the salmon - It was tender and flavorful and paired nicely with white rice. The quail (not pictured below) also was super flavorful and was cooked so well it tasted like beef. The soup was also light and refreshing, similar to a west lake soup. It was thicker consistency and had cilantro and chucks of lobster. The drinks served were also super balanced. We ordered the mojito and the dragon fruit cocktail. The mojito was the right balance between minty and sweet with just a hint of alcohol flavor. For the dragon fruit cocktail, it was very fruity, on the sweeter side but not overpowering and was topped with egg whites to give it a little bit of frothiness. I will say, we are slightly underdressed to enter this establishment. Everything seemed so luxurious and many people were in formal business wear! Keep this in mind if you go! There is a parking deck right next to the location as well, both self parking and valet!
