    Clam vermicelli
    Michelle O.

    The clam vermicelli bowl sounded interesting, so I decided to visit. It has a funky shrimp paste dressing, which may be a little too strong for some people. The shredded green mango, toasted peanuts, steamed bean sprouts, julienned taro stems, sliced banana blossoms, basil, cilantro, and fried pork skin add interest. The bahn nam (delicate steamed rice with savory ground pork and shrimp) and bahn loc (bouncy steamed tapioca cake with chopped pork and shell-on shrimp) were good and hot.

    Fantastic Vietnamese food

    Food was so good, great service and cute restaurant. Recommend the chicken and beef with rice. We would have some pics but ate it all before we took a photo. We will definitely be back soon!

    We were last weekend and still please with the service and food. The banh bèo this time was about smooshy but the rest of the food was OK

    This place is really good, I got the Vietnamese fried chicken with rice and the fried chicken is really good and crunchy and fresh and the rice is so good with the fried onions. Then I got the Vietnamese coffee and it is very refreshing. The place is really clean and the staff is really kind. I recommend coming to this place.

    Banh Beo
    Lynn L.

    I love how I don't have to drive all the way to Bellaire to get my fix for authentic Hue specialties. For me it's only about 20 minutes and I wish I was able to try more. The restaurant was clean, well organized, and had instrumental soft pop playing. The service was polite, quick and efficient. The walls were decorated with rice paddy hats near the entrance. They were also offering 10% off for Thanksgiving. I ordered the banh canh and a plate of banh beo with shrimp and pork cracklin. They came out in only a few minutes. As some other reviewers mentioned, the banh beo was served at room temperature, I would have preferred it to be steamed fresh but I understand that logistically it's more efficient to have them prepped and ready for service. The nuoc cham was a wonderful complement, slightly sweet, with thinly sliced jalapeños. The banh canh was a different style from what I've had growing up but it was still delicious. It's a thick broth type of soup, with thick chewy rice noodles (similar to udon). It was garnished with lots of green onion, cilantro and black pepper that provided a nice contrast to the soup. There were lots of ground shrimp and pork cakes (cha) throughout the soup, like nearly every bite I took had this delicious morsel. I will return, to try more specialties like com hen, banh nam, and others. I'm looking forward to it.

    Hot spicy beef noodle soup

    We spotted Phu Xuan Restaurant across from the vietnamese grocery store and decided to stop by and give it a try. My mom ordered Mi Quang, while I went with Bun Bo Hue. The beef noodle soup was delicious and loaded with toppings. My mom really enjoyed her bowl as well. The service was great, and we're definitely planning to come back to try some other dishes next time.

    In general, the food here is all a bit too sweet, but still pretty good. Service was great and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is pretty spacious as well. The Banh Beo was really yummy and it came with a lot. We also got the chicken wings which were alright. Too sweet, but super crispy. The bun bo hue was flavorful, but again a bit too sweet. The egg rolls were good and pretty big. The salty coffee was delicious.

    Their signature soup. If you're going for PHO you won't find it here  served with lemon grass & perfect amount of spice
    Gracie C.

    Very chill quiet , keep in mind they don't sell soda. But our food was delicious. They do not have Pho but they do have a delicious signature soup. The sausage spring rolls were a 10/10. The sauces 10/10 / my soups 11/10

    Salt Vietnamese coffee (very good)
    Nicole T.

    This place has been on my radar because of friends telling me about it. It did not disappoint. I wanted to treat myself to a little after work dinner. So I stopped by here a little nervous but the service was nice very simple. I already knew what I wanted haha... ambiance was welcoming. I wanted to try an appetizer too but I was by myself. The bun Bo hue I ordered was super delicious, it came with this ball of meat which was new but I thought it was different and yummy. The variety I got from the bowl was exciting and the broth wasn't too heavy. I would come back to try the other food items because they sell dishes that other Vietnamese restaurants don't have all the time.

    I drove 45 mins from Richmond to Phu Xuan Restaurant. My first experience was this restaurant is too far lol.. The foods were ok.. I liked the BBH.. It was more Hue's style, i liked lemongrass fragrance alot and less dầu diều. My most disappointed was bánh bèo chén. It was too cold for me .. Their fish sauce wasn't that great. Bánh bột lọc lá wasn't my favorite neither, shirmp was too dry. I liked the bánh nậm. It was tasty and fresh. It was a decent size restaurant, service was just ok. I might come back to try the other dishes.

    Ambiance is relaxing and they play some calm dinning music too. Our server was a little shy lol but he is nice and quick to get us what we asked for like extra limes and extra sauce. The food here is delicious and it hits the spot when you're craving Hue food. Bonus point to the chillis sauce on the table, which has thick consistency and balance spicy flavor.

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!

    Typically, when an Asian business has a cheeky name like Xeo Yum, it's widely assumed that it's…read moreheavily Americanized and therefore shouldn't be taken seriously. 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!

Growing up, my mom and grandma would make Cá Kho Tộ and Canh Chua, and those two dishes just belong together. You get the rich, savory flavors from the caramelized fish, while the soup adds the perfect amount of sourness to balance everything out. Before we went, I called to ask if they served Vietnamese egg rolls since my friend was craving some. The guy who answered the phone wasn't the friendliest, but I decided to roll the dice anyway, and I'm glad I did because the food was solid. We started with the egg rolls. At $10.95 for five pieces, I thought they were a little pricey. They came out piping hot and fresh from the fryer with a great crunch, and the fish sauce was delicious. My only complaint was the lettuce--they only gave us one piece. What am I supposed to do with one piece of lettuce? The Canh Chua Tôm had the perfect level of sourness, exactly how I like it. The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the medium-sized bowl was a generous portion. The Cá Kho Tộ was cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich and savory with a hint of sweetness, though I would've liked just a touch more salt. Pair it with a bowl of rice and some soup, and it's hard to beat. Overall, this place was solid. Is it better than my grandma's? Absolutely not--but that's a tough standard to live up to. It definitely satisfied the craving, and yes, I'd come back.
