The vermicelli bowls with shrimp and chicken were awesome, fresh, and really satisfying. The service was great too -- everyone was helping each other out and making sure customers were taken care of. The parking lot was full of locals, and around here that's always a good sign. If the lot's packed, the food's good. Tran's definitely proved it.

Danny's Seafood is such a terrific addition added to my hometown of Palacios, Tx. They serve fresh…read moreseafood with a fantastic view of the marina. Dinning there feels like you're at a family member's backyard enjoying your meal together. They also have an authentic Vietnamese cuisine that is absolutely delicious. Their appetizers, egg rolls, shrimp wraps and calamari is made to crunchy perfection. They will make seasonal pho which is warm and comforting during winter. My favorite seafood there is crawfish, when it's in season, and oysters; I like them either fried or raw on the half shell. Each dish is made with so much love and served with a smile. The owners always make their rounds to greet their guests and ask how their meal was and if there is anything they can improve on. It's a rare practice but much appreciated to small town patrons. Definitely a Palacios staple!

I'll start off with tonight wasn't their best night. Typically this restaurant is a banger but our…read moreshrimp and fish were overcooked tonight. Overall the flavor was there and the food was very fresh. The servers were nice and everything came out promptly even with a bunch of families dining.

I walked into the place and it took me back to a memory when I was in my home country of Vietnam--The smell of cigarettes, the asian produce in cardboard boxes, and random skin care products. My pho came out less than 10 min unlike 40 min elesewhere in town and it was piping hot like it should be. The broth had the fat floating to the top which shows they used the fatty beef bones and not just MSG for flavor. They gave different cuts of meat and the traditional meatball which was a delight. I really enjoyed the pho and all the herbs they gave me and it gives me faith I can still have Viet food if I retire away from Houston. The only reason why I'm giving four stars is cause like Vietnam it isn't as cleanly which concerns me during the Covid pandemic.
