    Bánh mì Thập Cẩm
    Dat N.

    Went on a banh mi tour around the south belt area and stopped by pho vì-vì with the misses. Banh mi was good but it wasn't great, would I try it again probably maybe ‍ but I've tried other food off their menu which was better. Come go your support if you're in the area!

    I had the pork vermicelli bowl and my husband had the supreme vermicelli bowl with shrimp, chicken and pork
    Rosemary S.

    My husband and I used to love coming to eat here, I always get the Char-Grilled Pork with Vermicelli bowl and my husband would get the pho. We used to come quite often but since they raised their prices, it's gotten more expensive.... we don't eat there as much now. So if you choose to eat there, be prepared to spend a little bit more.

    $8.99 special. Small pho, 2 eggrolls and tea.
    Tristin L.

    Place has gone way down. Eggrolls are over priced and small. Always have a problem getting the correct sauce I ask for. I got two weak pieces of lettuce for 4 eggrolls. When I asked for more, they said that's the standard amount and they would have to charge me. Yeah right. No thanks I will not be back

    Not spicy but super fragrant chili oil!
    Christine N.

    Went here to try the banh bot chien bc craving. It was pretty good! I wished the sauce was a little more vinegar-y. There was no black vinegar on the table so I just used the chili oil to spice it up. They have really good chili oil! It's not spicy...but the oil is fragrant so that was nice. Also ordered egg rolls. They were crispy and the garlic chili sauce that came with it was really good. Place was clean. Staff was friendly and prompt.

    Large Beef pho
    Amapola P.

    This is a decent spot for pho it's not the best and it's not the worse. I love coming here on Tuesday since you get a free chai tea with your purchase of $7+(if I'm not mistaken.) The broth is a hit or miss some days its good and other days it can lack a little flavor but still able to eat it especially on a cold rainy day. I can't compare it tot other local pho places in Pasadena, but my coworkers say that Pho Vi Vi has the best pho.

    This is one of my favorite local places to satisfy viet food cravings! Their menu has variety from more authentic Vietnamese food to popular American dishes like chinese orange chicken. I've been coming here for years and commend the cooks for being consistent and serving up good portion sizes. Here's a summary of my experience: Food: Fresh, inexpensive, and tasty. Their banh bot chien is so yummy and comes with a little side of radish and carrot for a bit of freshness. The rice platters and vermicelli bowls are good too. The pho broth is a bit weak and not fatty enough for me, but that's just my personal preference - your mileage may vary! Crawfish special: SO GOOD!! Honestly better than cajun craven. They're seasoned with garlic and butter and quite clean. They were a good size for the beginning of the season, too. I got them for $7.99/lb before peak season (Feb 2019). 2lb is the minimum purchase. Drinks: Tuesdays = free thai tea per $7 purchase! My partner and I ordered ~$25 worth of food and we were able to get one thai tea for each of us. It's really good and not at all bitter. Their boba and smoothie drinks are also surprisingly good for a restaurant. I recommend their taro root smoothie if you have a sweet tooth. Atmosphere: Casual and comfortable! The floor can be a bit dirty and some may consider the service to be neglectful, but I sort of like it that way - no frills. I love that one TV is always playing good V-pop and American pop music videos. The other TV plays various random things...including Michael Moore documentaries!

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. The beef dish was also so good to eat and balanced. The fried beef balanced so well with the fresh salad and rice. I will say that when we went the parking lot was a little deserted at night. I would definitely lock your doors and take all your valuables. But that's all or Houston, so just stay safe!

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.
