    A really cool restaurant that has a throwback to the 1980s maybe in 1970s games and toys now granted they are behind glass but they're still really cool to see the old Nintendo and he-man and Transformers. They also have some cool painting over the fun atmosphere as you look at the restaurant. The food is really good. We really enjoyed it over and got the I got a vermicelli. We also got some fried spring eggrolls. The broth was well developed some of that good flavor, but you wanted it to be a little bit more oof when you think about that to make it more desirable the other thing when you look at the add-ons it had for the fun could've really had more stuff to be able to be more desirable. That's what would've made it a five star so for example it's common if you're getting Steak you're getting like steak but meatballs and tripe and maybe even some brisket and so that just takes it to the next level. The vermicelli was a little bit light quantity wise was a little bit smaller than what you'd expect for the price. The staff were friendly and nice and quick at removing items and getting things like extra napkins or forks or chopsticks. Would recommend and if I'm wanting might be back. Just know that it's tough to say it's the best fun in Houston when there's so many different restaurants around town.

    Grilled Pork Banh Mi
    Bryan V.

    I tried this place since it was near my doctor's office, but I was not expecting to find such a good banh mi restaurant all the way up in Cypress! The baguette was very fresh and had a great texture. The grilled pork was delicious and all the other vegetable fillings were fresh and crisp. The butter was nice and creamy. Even my Vietnamese mom who is incredibly picky about banh mi enjoyed the one I bought for her! I chatted up the cashier guy and lady who was making my sandwich and they were very friendly and welcoming which added to my positive experience here!

    Small artichoke tea
    Brittany B.

    I didn't see it on the menu so I asked, I did receive, and it was worth it! Their artichoke tea is delicious, refreshing, and comes in two different sizes depending on how indulgent you're feeling. While the shop itself is a bit dark, they decorated the space, and they more than make up for it with super friendly customer service. If you're worried about coming alone, know that there are plenty of single diners there during lunch time and the space stays relatively quiet even when busy. As far as the beef banh mi, it satisfied my craving. They're heavy on the butter, light on the beef, and the jalapeño will not light your mouth on fire. Overall, I'll certainly revisit when I'm in the mood for some artichoke tea.

    Good for what it is, but the prices are questionable. The egg rolls were over $5, and they were a bit small. If they were bigger, I could totally justify the price. The rice dish was yummy, and the beef was thin so it was pretty tender. The employees are not the most welcoming or friendly. I came on a weekday evening, and there was only one other group dining in.

    Egg Roll Vermicelli with pork
    Mary J.

    Got pork vermicelli with an egg roll and it was delicious there was one piece of meat that was to fatty but besides that it was delicious I especially liked the spicy fish sauce (does not taste like fish and is a really good sauce) on it. I will admit I haven't tasted the other menu items, but this item alone is really good

    Oh Retro , Retro where for art thou Retro? We used to go here all the time but we moved from the Cypress area. We were back in town for a couple of days and hubby had to go by and get some Retro Rolls. He absolutely loves these things!! He says and I quote: "It's a warm,, crispy pork egg roll enveloped in a cool, soft layer of veggie and shrimp spring roll wrapped in rice paper with either a peanut or fish sauce for dipping. Tip: Add a little chili oil to make this little bite of heaven all the more better." Service is always friendly and professional. The restaurant is clean and has lots of cool graphic art and old school action figures as decorations

    Ambiance: Very casual but I liked seeing the Mario wallpaper! Service: It was warm and welcoming. We felt taken care of. Food: We ordered Pho and Banh Mi. Pho was average, the broth lacked flavor but the Banh Mi was excellent. I loved how the bread was soft and the meat had great flavor. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. We would stop by for a Banh Mi if we are in the area. Great place for family and friends to hang out.

    Veggie banh mi
    Heidi F.

    This cafe is adorable with a Mario mural. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. They have a veggie banh mi with veggie ham! The bread is crunchy without assaulting your mouth. It's still soft on the interior, it's all so good. Our top choice to get our spring roll fix as well.

    They have a veggie Bahn Mi that is delightful. They use a vegetarian ham, which really gives it a very special flavor. Highly recommend!

    I had to stop by after shopping in this Texas Heat!!!…read more This place is conveniently located in the same parking area as the outlets. So stopping by after shopping...you can't go wrong with that! Parking-you're sharing the lot space of the outlets so parking is no issue. Ambiance-they have a covered out door space with plenty of fans going and a tv for entertainment. Once I walked inside, I was greeted by a host's who were very friendly and jovial!!! I opted to sit at the bar, and the bartender was also friendly and helpful. My favorite dish is the Chicken Taquitos...they are crispy flavorful and have all the toppings that I prefer. I almost ordered as second plate;) I believe they are also available on their Happy Hour menu. Overall, I really liked this location as it is hard to come by a busy chain like this with personalized service.

    We decided to go to Cheesecake Factory for lunch before the movies. I made reservations so I could…read morecontrol the timing of us getting to the movies. Thankfully our table was ready when we arrived. We were seated immediately and ordered appetizers of boneless buffalo strips. They were giant and piping hot. Could have been a meal. Then I ordered the Cajun pasta. So much food and I was able to have lunch and dinner for the next night. My husband ordered fish and chips and son ordered smash burger. My son ordered extra fries and husband ordeeed sweet potato fries. Everyone enjoyed their food. The only negatives: no garlic bread. They have many pasta dishes, would be easy to add. I used the bread on the table to eat with my pasta. A nice French bread would have worked. The parking, not really their fault but lot of people park in their lot to go to the outlet stores. We drove around 10 mins looking for a spot. Will definitely return, lots of things on the menu and their portion sizes are amazing. We didn't get dessert but I love their cakes and cheesecake.

    I travel for work and my job took me to Hockly Texas so I stop in on Friday night and let me say it…read morewas a great time. I believe the bartender was Nicole she very helpful and SHE KILLED IT because it was busy. I enjoyed how she joked with her regulars. There was another young lady who got me ice cream before I left that was also nice. I don't remember what calzone I got but 10 out of 10. I will be back sometime in Few months will stop . It does get pretty loud only down fall for customers.

    Okay, but this place is kind of the spot…read more It's got a modern feel, full liquor bar, Blue Bell ice cream station, and a whole dessert setup. They really tried to cover all the bases. There are a ton of TVs and plenty of seating, so it definitely feels like somewhere you can just hang out for a while, especially for games or with a group. You order at the counter and they bring the food out, so it's not traditional service, but watching the staff you can tell they've got a system. Everything keeps moving, food comes out quick, and tables are getting cleared. It stays pretty busy too, which makes sense since there's not a lot else going on around there. Food-wise: The pizza had a really solid crust - crispy and cooked all the way through. The cheese pull was probably the best part, but overall the flavor just wasn't really there for me. It was light on sauce, and I feel like that's something that would've made a big difference. Even just having extra sauce on the side would help. The wings, though, were the highlight. Perfect crunch, good size, and the barbecue sauce was actually really good - slightly sweet with a nice tang to it. Overall, I'd go back more for the atmosphere and the wings than the pizza. It's a good hangout spot, just a few tweaks away from being really good.
