    Awesome wall decor!
    Melissa H.

    They do not have tapioca balls, not Teahouse type drinks! They have maybe 4 different drink selections that they can add boba, but that's it! And they do have fountain drinks. I got Thai tea with boba and my kid got milk tea with boba. They were delicious! But this is not a teahouse type place. They have more of a food menu versus a teahouse/drink menu. They might have hot tea and green tea but I am just guessing! Call before you go if you are looking for a specific type of drink. The inside was clean. Nice decor. Awesome painting in the middle of the big wall congratulating them on 3 or 4 years of business. And they have cool electronics to look at BUT NOT TOUCH! They are display only. Pretty cool. I'm guessing rare and expensive Nintendo systems from Asia. Very cool. And authentic games still in plastic cases (similar to Blockbuster but not blockbuster). Very pungent food aromas. Like garlic and vinegar. My mom really likes their Vietnamese sandwiches.

    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.

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.

My family and I stopped by Backdoor Pizza and were greeted by a genuinely friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere. It wasn't a rushed dining experience--in fact, our food took a while to come out, and somewhere along the way my son's pizza order was missed entirely. Not ideal when you're dining with a hungry kid. That said, what stood out was how fresh everything tasted once it hit the table. The pizza was hot, made-to-order, and worth the wait. Nothing felt like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The ingredients tasted fresh, the crust had a great texture, and you could tell care went into the food. The real surprise of the night? The fried Oreos. Crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. They easily stole the show and were the highlight of the meal for our family. While the timing issues and forgotten order keep this from being a five-star visit, the friendly service, quality food, and standout dessert make it a place I'd be willing to give another shot. Every restaurant has an off day; what matters is whether the food makes you want to come back. In this case, it does. The fried Oreos alone might be enough to get us through the door again.
