My family and I finally decided to check out this place when we were in the City of Bellaire area. The name sounded cute and the indoor casual/chill decor made it feel inviting & homey. The employee seemed like he was the only one and there was a couple dining in who seemed to be regulars after their farewells. I didn't realize it was a build your own bowl/sandwich/salad concept which I thought was unique! Everything was packaged nicely to go since we had to eat at home. I did make the mistake of not checking the order because we realized the pho broth wasn't included which was disappointing! I ended up not going back or calling to report it since I knew it would be too inconvenient to drive all the way back. After the kids refused it, I did try it vermicelli style but the steak was little too salty. The beef banh mi was good but the portion was much smaller than I expected compared to a traditional size. The eggrolls were also on the smaller side but were decent typically eggrolls. I also ended up trying the lychee lemonade but the flavoring wasn't as well balanced. Overall it was not as satisfactory as I would have hoped but wouldn't mind giving another chance to try other menu items like the pork banh mi or viet coffee. Edit after establishment's comment: I realized my misunderstanding of the menu of no broth included now. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy the steak as vermicelli and salad style as much either. Thank you for the clarification. read more

So went to this place to grab a quick meal at lunch before grocery shopping. Not a soul in the place a 12:30 on Friday. When I walked in had to use the restroom so I asked for the code. Answer - "sorry we can only put that on a receipt." Well - I will order after I relieve myself. Answer - "Sorry we can't do that. We have had too many problems". I am thinking WTF kind of problems?!?! So, while about to pee myself, I ordered a Bhan mi pork and I'll just have a cup of water to drink. "Sorry - we only have bottled water (which I don't drink due to microplastics in the environment). " So I get a receipt (not mine) with the restroom code scribbled on back WHICH DOES NOT WORK!! I am 60 years old and my bladder is not that strong!! Luckily a bus boy saw me and had mercy with his code. Jeeze! I felt like I was in junior high school!! I beg these guys to change their policy if they want adults to eat here. Got my sandwich which was hot and adequate but nothing to get excited bout for $11. Roostar and Pho Prime have no competition!! So thought I would round out the meal with some soft serve. $5.50 for soft serve ? No thanks. I'll stop at Chickfilet $(1.80)! Will not be back. This place should be named "Miracle". It's a miracle it's still open! Too many good options elsewhere. I'll leave this place for the Junior high 6th-8th Grade set. Good luck Nom Nom! read more

Viet Nom Noms - Pork Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

It felt like a dating game. I heard some great things about Viet Nom Noms. So, I came here few months ago after a long day at work. Got here about 30 minutes before closing. But came to see the lights were turned off and it was closed. Because of airline mile rewards, I had to come by at least once. So, I came back couple of weeks ago during lunch time. I didn't want to miss them again. The restaurant was really busy with takeout orders, not so much of dine in customers. So, I enjoyed being there staring at the wall decor and waiting on my food. I was going to order Vermicelli bowl but somehow, I got banh mi salad. It was so creative to cut up the bread as the base. It was very tasty and easy to chew. I'll be back to try the actual banh mi sandwich. read more

Not my cup of tea. The ominous empty parking lot in the middle of a bright Sunday day should have been a small hint for me but I decided to try this cute spot anyway. The decor is immaculate and the space is very clean, however, the food was the outlier. There is no shortage of amazing banh mis in the Houston area but what I was served felt like the Chipotle-equivalent of banh mis. The bahn mi bowl was a deconstructed banh mi in a bowl; so quite literal. You don't realize the tiny portions until you finished paying for the food and seeing it deconstructed in your bowl. The bread tasted a bit old and stale, and the meat/vegetable portions in the banh mi were on the lesser side throughout. The flavor of the meat was just okay as the fish sauce can do the rest. I would suggest adding more vegetables so that the portions do not look so lackluster. Overall, it was just mediocre for the price. I always ask myself if this is something I can make myself at home when I try to justify the pricing and the long wait times on an empty Sunday. The answer is yes, yes I can. read more

Viet Nom Noms - Steak Rice Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

My wife has picked up take out before but yesterday was my first sit down visit. Ordered the vermicelli bowl with steak, the steak had great flavor, vermicelli rice noodles, lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumbers, carrots, daikons, green onions, fried onions, cilantro, peanuts and I got the spicy Viet Sauce, lots of crunch from the fresh veggies and the sauce did deliver some heat...me likey! We shared 4 pork fried egg rolls. My wife sampled my vermicelli bowl and liked it. I enjoyed an iced Viet coffee. read more

I received an email for a free nombo for my birthday. I didn't understand that meant I have to BUY an entree to get two tiny, I mean tiny egg rolls and a drink. Take out, so when I try to take a coconut water ($1 at store just like a soda) mgr says oh no only a can of soda. Email says egg rolls and a "drink" not soda. Ok, I get home and the egg rolls are 1/2" wide and 2" long. Really? If I had eaten in I would not have accepted them nor if I had had paid $1.99 accepted them either. Email deceptive, employee rude, and with 1947 Vietnamese restaurants to choose from within 3?miles I'll choose to go somewhere else next time. In retort to owner's response, email says drink, not soda and I never complained about the price of the entree, however his response does not address my displeasure and description of the egg rolls. Rudeness is like beauty, in the eyes of the beholder. read more

The food was great, and I liked that it was a casual place. For two of us, it was less than $30. It's so hard to find reasonably priced and good food nowadays. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. read more

The restaurant is inconspicuous, but it is also cute and charming in a way. The food left a lot to be desired. The pork vermicelli bowl tasted decent, but I feel like it should have either been a little cheaper for the size or contained a larger portion. Not bad overall though. The Viet iced coffee was watered down but still passable. The spring rolls were decent, and the peanut sauce was good. Overall, the food wasn't terrible, but I feel $20 during lunchtime can stretch a lot farther at other restaurants. I would be open to trying more food from here, but I am not dying to return anytime soon. read more

Came in lit after a workout, and this place matched my energy. The food? That pineapple habanero shrimp and spicy chicken rice bowl brought the heat without torching my gains. The service was smooth, fast, and had just the right amount of spark. As for the ambiance--cool, chill, and perfect for dodging the blazing sun outside.

Well chalk this one up as yet another amazing place in the annals (I said annals, there's 2 "ns", so stop being dirty) (of course you were being dirty don't lie) of Viet deliciousness in HTX. VNN has friendly service and tasty coffee and good food. They have a lot of great Vietnamese items and a modern flair, but also a homestyle feel as well. It's a lovely little shop in the city of Bellaire, and gives some amazing ethnic delights to a neighbourhood that is in some ways lacking in them.

Seriously...I love that this is in the ritzy Bellaire neighbourhood with Bellaire Chinatown prices!!! My banh mi were 4.75$ a sandwich!!! You know with increasing rices, this is a DEAL!!! The creative fusion menu, and they have a two feet banh mi!!! My baguette came out soft with a hint of crispness...as if he freshly made a baguette and it just came out of the oven! I loaded mine with Chinese Sausage and chargrilled pork. I love that they left the sou sauce out because I was able to drown my sandwich in soy sauce. It was delicious! Coffee is pre -made and yes it is sweet! Drop by and grab some nom nom! There are only six tables and a bar...I called ahead to place an order: They have a huge lunch and dinner rush...but worth it! read more

I came here for a quick bite after running errands. The worker was friendly, but I was disappointed in the Banh Mi and Thai tea that i ordered. I paid $3.50 for the drink, which was cheap compared to what it costs nowadays, but I definitely got what I paid for because it was watered down. I paid $5.50 for my pork Banh mi and I was even more disappointed to see that I only got half of an original sized Banh mi, which is not worth the price. It was also terribly crusty. By the last bite, the entire outside crust of the bread was all over my lap. I have definitely tried better food elsewhere and hope this review will provide constructive criticism to improve their food for the future. read more

Ordered a chicken salad bowl today and was pretty disappointed how bad the food was. My chicken was so burnt and dry as you can see in my photo. I had a few pieces of chicken that were charred so black that I couldn't even eat it. The fish sauce that came with it was pretty bland. Could be why the place was completely empty when I walked in during the lunch rush hour. read more

Viet Nom Noms - Burnt dry chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

I came, I tried, I'll never come back. There was no love put in into making the banh mi. The bread baguette crumbled apart (like old bread), barely any meat given and it was so dry. I asked if they added Mayo butter and because it was so dry and hard to bite into. He just said, I'll charge you more for some. He didn't care to ask how to make the sandwich better for the customer. Just the overall horrible representation of a Vietnamese sandwich. read more

We came in for some Vietnamese iced coffee, some spring rolls and a bahn mi chicken sandwich. This place is so cute and loved the wall art.

Viet Nom Noms - Yum, vermicelli bowl. Very tasty beef, veggies fresh and Viet sauce is on point. - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

I'm honestly blown away by the combination of good food in generous portions at very reasonable prices here. Those 3 factors are what make a place an instant "go-to" for me and Viet Nom Noms really proved themselves to be triple threat as far as casual dining venues go. Whole bowls of food here are just around $7, which is crazy with the level of quality they're at. The proteins specifically are all better, leaner cuts than the typical Vietnamese place. Even their tofu is marinated beforehand, making it noticeably much tastier. These extra steps are what make a place stand out. If I lived in Houston I know it'd be a regular stop for me. It was honestly my favorite place I found during my weekend trip to the city. They were also gluten intolerant and vegetarian friendly, for anyone looking for that info. Looking forward to coming back read more

Viet Nom Noms - So much food - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

Lack luster food and environment. I came with my mother and wanted to try a different place, we should've read the reviews before coming. It was practically empty and you can't use their bathroom until you purchase your food. I ordered the strawberry green tea and it didn't seem fresh or taste very sweet. The fruit appeared to be sitting in the tea for longer than normal. I asked the guy at the counter when the tea was made and he said it was made fresh daily and that they cook the strawberries a bit to get the flavor. I hadn't heard of that before and didn't push further as he didn't seem to be apologetic for the poor quality nor was he friendly. Our food wasn't terrible but the meat portions were small, for what we paid we could've gone elsewhere. If you're considering going here don't. read more

I'm going to be honest, this place was quite cute inside but the food was not up to par. I got the tofu bowl and it was just lacking flavor and it was salty at the same time. The egg rolls were quite small too for the price I've paid. The staff was friendly though, so maybe it was just a miss for that day I went. read more

Review #35 I didn't just like this place! I loved it (okay so minus the spring rolls), but my vermicelli bowl was absolutely delicious! Lemme break it down: First of all I passed this place twice. The signage is uber small. I knew it was close to Pink's Pizza so I finally just drove into Pink's to get a better look. Found it! It is in the next strip to Pink's. The guy behind the counter greeted us with a huge smile as we walked in. Ordering is pretty simple as their menu is small. Build your own rice bowls, vermicelli bowls, Bahn mis, and salad bowls. Listed next to each item is everything that comes with it. You can ask to take items out if need be. Then you pick your meat. We settled on the vermicelli bowls and I added chicken. Oh my-nom nom was it delicious! Everything was made fresh to order and tasted phenomenal! Okay, so I didn't love the shrimp and pork spring rolls, but the vermicelli trumps all! Other things to know: Vietnamese coffee, Thai tea, sodas. Chips. Child's menu. Free Wifi. Simple set up, the place is pretty basic, but who cares because the vermicelli was the bomb! We saw couples and families eating, so kids should enjoy - if they like this type of food. I WILL be back no doubt! Two thumbs up and 5 stars Viet Nom Noms! read more

I ordered the spicy Chicken Vermicelli and to be honest I envisioned it being something else than what it was, so that influenced my thoughts on it. I thought it would have some sort of sauce on it and be served warm but it was kinda bland and cold... It was okay, it was far from being a bad meal, but also wasn't very memorable and I wouldn't order it again. The chicken flavor was good but it was severely over cooked. The person who took our order was a little snippy and considering we were the only people in the restaurant, I thought he could've been a bit kinder. On a negative note, especially in COVID times, the cashier used his bare hands (no glove) to grab the noodles to put in the bowl, which seems incredibly unhygienic. It was a somewhat cute restaurant, but as we are in Houston, I think there are much better options. read more

Definitely a small place but don't be fooled by how it looks with the food they provide! I came here with my boyfriend and manager and we definitely enjoyed the food! They're similar to chiptole where you can pick your own noodle/rice bowl or salad or sandwich (banh mi). I ordered a noodle bowl with grilled pork meat, a side order of egg rolls and a vietnamese coffee. My boyfriend ordered the same thing but got 2 eggrolls and a drink included with his order instead of the side order of 4 egg rolls. They offer spicy or mild fish sauce to go with the bowl. It took about 10-15 minutes for them to prepare our meal. The food was definitely refreshing. Inside the bowl (paper) was the noodles at the bottom mixed with cucumber slices, bean sprouts, lettuce and I added jalapenos. I was only given 1 small container of spicy fish sauce and had to ask for 2 more to add to my noodle bowl and my egg rolls. The table we had was kind of small, the floor was concrete and the walls did have some decoration/print on them but it was pretty bare. The bowls were kind of small in size so mixing was kind of messy. But the taste was definitely delicious. The fish sauce was definitely Americanized in taste in that it had too much lime juice and it really wasn't spicy because the peppers were cut too small and no seeds were mixed in to add to the heat. I would come back here for lunch again- it was a pleasant experience and their coffee and thai tea was delicious! read more

Definitely liked the ease of ordering here, just choose your base, protein, and any add-ons. The descriptions of what veggies come in the bowls are on the wall so make sure you check - I forgot to check and ask for them to hold the beansprouts but that's on me. Had a tofu rice bowl and a pork vermicelli bowl, both were good and I feel fairly priced. You'll get larger portions in Chinatown/Little Saigon but if you're in the area, the flavor and service are hard to beat. There were only a few other patrons in the store and I got my food in a little under ten minutes. Bonus: Their to-go containers are compostable, helps to feel a little less guilty about takeout containers. read more

Exactly as the name implies. This was my first time eating here. I called ahead for pick up and the guy who answered was very courteous and helpful. The menu for pickup online is easy to understand and order from. They had the food ready when they said they would and I was in and out of there in no time which is great if you're on the run. The food was delicious and fresh. If I'm ever in the area again I'd definitely go back. read more

I had a taste at the recent Yelp 15th Burstday event at the Children's museum. I was blown away by how fresh and authentic it tasted even though they were working out of a little booth. I knew I had to have a 2nd full helping. I was in the area buying parts at Microcenter and I Yelped lunch places and it popped up, down the street off Rice (ironic). It ended up being a bit of a detour because there was an accident off the service road and luckily, Google Maps led me around. It's in a tiny strip between a children's consignment and a smoothie place. I went in, jogged their memory about how appreciated their food at the event was, claimed my 7% check in coupon and ordered their "Vietnamese pizza" and noodle bowl. It's really rate to find Vietnamese snack foods like the "pizza" called banh tran nuong in Vietnamese in Houston. This place is one of the rate places that make it and I'm super excited. While waiting for my food, I used the restroom and was gratified to see that even in a small space, there were women and men separate bathrooms. Super clean and smells nice to boot! I'll leave the rest of the review for the food, so stay tuned for more to come! read more

Their tofu salad was excellent! The tofu was so packed with flavor beyond impressed! I also had the tofu spring rolls, they were pretty good. And the black tea with no milk and add rainbow jelly- that was good. My partner got a beef rice bowl and pork egg rolls and shrimp spring rolls and a milk tea boba. Apparently they were delightful! We left there full! Also we got some egg rolls for the the T2... they came in a tiny brown paper bag. There was one other customer in when we went in. Customer service was to the point, take your order, we call when it's ready. Not rude, but def not my vibe either. This was one visit though, so it could've been a hard Friday afternoon. Place was clean looking but a very strong sewage odor strongest near the food pick up area and the drink machines is my only real off putting thing about the visit. I really like the layout and the bar by the window to sit and look out, plus at the end I realized there were two tables outside as well!! read more
