    Pan fried rice cake with eggs
    Melissa H.

    Tuong Ky is a solid spot for rice platters and other Vietnamese dishes. I've enjoyed the food though oftentimes the service can be improved. - Bot chien or pan fried rice cake (3/5): comes with egg and sour soy sauce. The portion is very similar to other places. The rice cakes weren't very crispy and the sauce wasn't very spectacular. Overall it's on point but nothing to write home about - Com tam 6 Mon or rice platter combo (4.5/5): portion is a tad small for the price, but you get everything (and a small soup)!! I especially love the shrimp patty and egg cake. The fish sauce is also amazing! Highly recommended. - Com chien Duong Chau or Yuan Chow fried rice (3/5): just what you'd expect. Portion is smaller than other places and there's nothing "wow" about it. The interior has the LED light strip on all the time in the bright blue hue, which wasn't very pleasing to the eyes. Other than that, the place is fairly clean.

    It was hard to find. The picture I found showed the location as Dakao plaza - wrong. It's by Lee's Sandwich across from HK Mall. Ordered com tam (grilled pork instead of pork chop), shredded pork, egg cake, pickled veggies. Also picked up a combo fried rice (shrimp, bbq pork, sausage) for my brother. Com tam - the pickled veggies were nicely done. The grilled pork was ok. A little dry. The shredded pork was standard. The egg cake was nice. The nuoc nam was nicely made as well. Not overdone. Pricing wise, it's a bit on the high end. Think it was like $10.95. It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday so relatively quiet. They had a few to go order pickups while I was there. The guy that took my order was nice and helpful. There was another staff, maybe a manager or owner who took the money, who didn't get off his phone the whole time he serviced me or after. I don't expect 5 star service but I found that a bit rude. (Based off the convo, it seemed to be a personal call) Not against trying it again. The menu is a bit limited (IMO) but still worth a try.

    One of my FAVORITE SPOTS EVER to get com tam. I like getting the combo bc I get a lil bit of everything. They serve it with a bowl of soup on the side, and it's just perfect. The coating on the shrimp cake is so crispy and light. The pork chop is flavorful and tender. Everything else is delightful as well. I always walk out of there happy and full. Business seems to be kind of slow every time I go- I only see like a few customers stop by when I'm dining in. Service is quick and employees are friendly. No issues with parking. I highly recommend checking this place out and giving them the recognition they deserve!!!

    Great com tam (broken rice) in Houston! The portions are very generous. I got the combination that had everything, and my husband elected for the com tam with sausage. We also got a banh bot chien which was essentially a thin omelette with fried rice cakes. Super crispy and delicious with a savory sauce. Super reasonable prices and easy parking! No outdoor seating, so we got to-go.

    Hair found in my dish and also in my honey's dish. The flavors were not there: Banh Bot Chien: Maybe someone forgot the salt? The fried squares were not crispy and even with the sauce mix on top failed to give it any more oomph. Broken rice combos: I customized my dish with charbroiled pork, egg cake and fried tofu skin with fried egg. Meat dry, Egg wasn't the traditional crispy edged one plus rice did not taste fresh cooked. Presentation was okay. Part way through found hair in the side plate of fish sauce where honey found hers in her rice dish. Not returning.

    We got the banh bot chien and com tam 6 mon and it was absolutely delicious. Great value and quality. 10/10. No problems with service and the ambience was casual and clean.

    It was my first time here. The place is hidden gem in the corner of the same shopping strip as Lee Sandwiches on Bellaire. To be honest I probably would not eaten here if my sister didn't suggest it. My sister and I were greeted right away and seated. I really appreciate that this place was clean and they actually had the AC on!! That right there is 2 stars automatically for ANY Asian restaurants on Bellaire!! The food was really good. I ordered 2 appetizers because I wanted to try both. Banh bot chien was crispy and not greasy but I think it needed more eggs and radish/green onion toppings like Tan Tan. The dipping sauce was ok, maybe more of the darker sauce in it then the red vinegar. The Vietnamese egg rolls were delicious but for the size and amount they were a little pricey. 6 small egg rolls for $8.50 (Especially being on Bellaire). The com tam was tasty and everything had flavor. The thit nuong actually had finely mince lemongrass in the marinade. I like the flavor it gives bbq meats. Thit nuong is supposed to be marinated with lemon grass. That's how my mama made it so it is the way I grew up eating thit nuong and pork chops. The pork chop & thit nuong were tasty & not over cooked. I thought the meat would be tough and dry but it was surprisingly tender. The tofu shrimp thing was good since it was NOT drenched in grease since it is fried. Everything on my 6 item plate was seasoned well and tasty. I enjoyed my rice plate. The chicken rice plate my daughter had was tasty too! The meat was flavorful and NOT dry/over cooked. They do give complimentary plain small bowl of broth like they should with the rice plates. Great food at a CLEAN restaurant with good service. The fish sauce was good. My sister wanted the Me Den dessert but the waiter said they were out. I will definitely be back again. If you are craving com tam come try it out here!

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.
