You choose your ingredients, pick your broth, then weigh and pay. I chose the traditional spicy soup base with a regular spice level. It was so good and spicy, and the ingredients soaked up the broth perfectly. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and has plenty of tables and seating. The staff is also very knowledgeable about their broths. I learned from them that they have a promotion with Chin Cha, the tea shop a couple of doors down, so make sure to ask the staff for the exact details on how to get discounts on drinks. I loved my bowl of malatang and will definitely be coming back again!

Great malatang option…read more They had a good variety of veggies and proteins to add to your bowl and good sauce-building options. I also liked that they have broth options. I tried the traditional broth at mild spicy and it was definitely pretty spicy with that mala spice to it.

I expected the best viet food to be primarily in Bellaire, so I lowered my expectations a bit for…read morethis spot. This spot exceeded my expectations and is as authentic and just as good as every other restaurant in Bellaire. The banh cuon dac biet was absolutely delicious! The thin silky sheets were noticeably fresh and had the perfect bouncy consistency. Initially thought that it could use more protein, but the nem chua and cha lua made it pretty filling; I actually wish they gave more of the nem chua. The banh tom added a nice contrast to the dish as well. Didn't think the dish needed the plethora of bean sprouts, but maybe that's just personal preference. Bear in mind, the bean sprouts are cooked which I'm accustomed to, but may not be usual for those who enjoy the crunch of bean sprouts. This is definitely a more feasible option for those who don't want to make the drive to Bellaire, but still want their viet fix.

Hot pot was just the perfect meal on a [humid] rainy day. (They are usually closed on Wed and Thu.) Not only was the food deadass delicious, but the server guy was hella happy. Joy was radiating from him. He even offered us some delicious cake that came from the bakery next door. Goat hot pot was served on a portable stove - the kind with the gas canisters. Everything was in the pot already except for the veggies (I think it was A choy/Taiwanese lettuce) and noodles. The red sauce tasted hella fermented by itself, but it was great with the goat meat. I also got the combination broken rice. It came with a nicely fried egg over the rice and different types of meat. For two people, this was more than enough food. We took home the leftovers. The restroom here is hella clean. I was surprised to see seat covers in the women's room.

I was lurking through Tiktok and saw a creator posting about this place. I immediately had to stop…read moreand did a google search on where it is because: 1) I love nem nuong-- one of my top favorite Vietnamese dishes of all time 2) I haven't had any in a long time; I still remember how obsessed I was with this super famous place in Cali, but like I said it's been forever 3) Food in the video looked absolutely mouth-watering I was even happier to find out the location is in North Houston instead of the usual Bellaire. Upon walking in, I was already greeted enthusiastically by Andy. He was great, it's been a while since I've experienced such amazing customer service. Place looked clean with plenty of seats. Truthfully we were there to try the nem nuong, but the menu had a lot of other options where it really did peak our interest. Luckily though, we had self control and stayed true to our purpose and ordered the nem nuong cuong and one order of the chao tom cuon. It was super filling and we got full quick so we had to take to-go. If we ordered anymore, definitely would not have finished. I'd be honest though, while I loved the nem nuong cuon, the chao tom cuon wasn't memorable. I'd say pass if you ever were considering. Andy was attentive and gave us more dipping sauce when we were getting low which was much appreciated. Definitely a new favorite place and I'll be back to try the other dishes they offer!

I visited this vietnamese spot while on the way to a different restaurant in the area but decided…read morethis looked good instead. The shopping center is modern and utilizes Conex storage containers in it's design which is a relatively new trend in commercial construction. Inside is also modern and they play lively music, most of which was American during my visit. My small group was seated at the back by the kitchen door where you can hear kitchen utensils clanging on metal pans. The interior is a bit on the small side, but that's probably because most tables are family-sized. We ordered the nem nuong rolls, beef shank salad and seafood stir fry noodles, iced tea and a coke. Rolls - these were average and the sauce you dip them in is a little bland, even after adding some chopped chili peppers. Salad - this was by far the best dish as it's made with many slivers of mango. It's light, refreshing and reminds me of thai beef salad. Seafood stir fry - this was okay, but really nothing special. It took a while for the food to come out and it was difficult to get a refill on tea. That's mainly because they supposedly ran out of iced tea. They did get crafty and brought out a togo cup of ice and a togo cup of brewing tea to take with me, even though I wasn't quite finished eating, so that I can make my own iced tea. I've never seen this happen in the nearly 50 years of dining out.

I was in the mood for their food and so headed over.

This is a hidden little gem in the back of a long strip mall and definitely a place you should add to your try list. It's not fancy to look at, but I always feel comfortable coming in here, and they can easily accommodate large parties. As usual, they brought a refreshing lettuce salad. Once I finished that off I ordered the Mantu appetizer. Mantu is stuffed with a wonderful ground beef filling, a little pocket of deliciousness, a tiny spicy heat to it, and a moist sauce that rounds out the flavor, and is finished with a generous sprinkle of sumac. It's a delicious light dumpling!! My favorite dish that I keep ordering over and over is the Showra. This is a super flavorful broth in which a lamb shank sits along with a potato. It sounds so simple, and it is, but I think it's absolutely wonderful. I've never seen a naan prepared the way they do their version. Pull off pieces and dip that into the broth so that it gets all soggy and delicious :-). They serve it with a small side of onion and lemon, and I squeeze the lemon juice into it and dump the onion into the hot broth. I like to finish the meal with the light Firni milk pudding sprinkled with chopped pistachios. While eating here, you could run next-door to the market if you need some Halal meat. I think the above is my favorite meal here.

I came during lunchtime and it was completely empty but I still opted to dine in anyway, so I could get the real experience. The first booth I wanted to sit in was dirty, so I went to a different one which I eventually realized still had crumbs on it as well. I ended up placing my order and just telling her to make it to go bc I just wasn't feeling it. I ordered the lamb chops which on the menu had the full bone on it so you could easily pick it up and eat, but when I got my order, it didn't have the bone which I thought was a bit odd. In general, I feel like the rice and the lamb chops could've used more flavor. The little spicy sauce they provided helped though.
