My family and I went to Xeo Yum for their soft opening to Monday, 6/22/26. We had been waiting for Xeo Yum to open for a year, and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere was the restaurant was stellar, as it was well lighted, clean, and sprawling with plants that supplied the area with an open, clean feeling (my favorite was the snake plant). The servers were extremely accommodating and kind, being attentive in understanding our needs as we ordered. The food, as expected, was excellent as well! I was a little skeptical when I ordered the Pho Duoi Bo, as it wasn't their specialty, but it was great! Furthermore, we ordered the Banh Xeo, Bo Ne, and Banh Khot; all were amazing! I highly recommend coming to support this new Vietnamese small business! read more

The food is so good, I remember trying it my first time and it was the best food I ever ate! also the hostess is super nice! The ambiance in the building makes me feel welcome. I feel so comfortable that I could stay in there for hours, since hey play good songs in the restaurant too. read more

We came back into town to visit family, and this new spot was on our list of places to check out. Since they are still in their "soft opening" phase, my review is mainly for the food. We all should expect a few bumps here and there due to new operations and crew. Overall, everyone was extremely friendly, attentive to requests, and working hard. Banh Xeo: 5/5 - perfectly crispy with juicy pork belly, shrimp, and fresh crisp veggies. Banh Khot: 4/5 - semi-crispy and delicious but could use a bit more coconut flavor and less banh in the center to make it more crispy. Kids loved it though! Bo Ne: 5/5 - tender and flavorful. Loved adding the mini-tomatoes and perfectly cooked onions. Tip: Pre-order 1 extra bread loaf so it comes out with the dish. Com Thịt Nướng: 4/5 - flavorful but smaller portion than most spots. Our son enjoyed it with an added egg loaf. Should consider adding broken rice as an option in future. Shrimp Fried Rice: 4/5 - jumbo shrimp cooked perfectly. They added masago to the dish, which gave it a nice crunch and flavor. Pho: 4.5/5 - very tasty and hit the spot! Surprised, as most venues that have large menus typically don't get the pho right. Not as good as Pho Sapa but still legit. The overall decor of the venue was nicely done. We will return next time we visit. Keep up the great work and glad you all came to Spring Branch! read more

Absolutely loved the banh khot - great presentation, easy to break apart to share, and perfect serving size. The tofu was also good, but I would have preferred it a little drier with a side of lime/salt/pepper to dip. I also like the dish with more veggies, specifically mushrooms, but that's just a preference. As for the Bo Ne, i've had better. The beef wasn't properly seared and wasn't very flavorful. I think some Maggi on top would've made it better The service was just okay. Coming in, we were immediately seated and given menus, but ordering and requesting additional things like a knife or napkins, was a bit of a struggle. The servers were definitely on the young side and inexperienced. All that being said, I would totally come back to check out other items. I also thought the decor was cute. read more

I'm so glad they reopened, we came during soft opening with everyone trying to give this place a try & not enough employees. Food: delicious! Banh Khot - crispy, coconut batter taste - need more scallion on top similar to those in Vung Tau, Vietnam Banh Xeo : cook perfectly crispy without feeling oily, topping with pork and shrimp inside felt like precooked & add on, a little overcooked esp the pork. We need more mint & correct type of veggies come with Banh Xeo like Rau xanh & other mints instead of lettuce wrap and Thai basil. Bo Ne - grilled beef skillet tastes great, condiment with pate and butter should have more bigger portion but overall is great. Salad and banh mi on the side is a plus. Service: friendly but seriously need more servers to accommodate the amount of customers esp during rush hour weekends. They're great, but cannot handle the amount of guests & we have to eye ball them down with hand raise to get serve. Food takes an hour to come out which is way too long. Spacious & decorate with a touch of Saigon street scene like Ben Thanh market mural. Tables with chairs pretty close by each other. Parking is a nightmare. Do not drive your big SUV as it's only 1 way in and out. You literally have to back out or good luck maneuvering. Not many parking space either so this can be inconvenient. However, overall we will definitely come back when they settle in, fully trained staff & possibly not on the weekends. read more

Since this was their soft opening, I hope things improve, but our overall experience was pretty lackluster. We ordered the Bo Ne and a Che 3 Mau without ice. The water came out with two dirty cups, which it seems like the cups may have been wiped down with towels instead of properly cleaned. The Che 3 Mau came out afterward in a plastic cup with a plastic spoon. I was hoping it would have more flavor, but it wasn't sweet enough for me, even without the ice. There were no utensils until the Bo Ne came out, and they only gave one set even though there were two of us. The Bo Ne took a bit to arrive and came on a huge skillet with a good amount of food. The sauce was flavorful and the bread was good, but the skillet didn't seem hot enough. The egg was a little overdone, and the meat was unevenly cooked, with some pieces still raw inside while others were well done. At $19.5, the Bo Ne is expensive compared to others, and it only came with one small container of mayo and pate, which wasn't enough for the amount of food. There were also no check-ins during the meal, and I noticed they cleaned the tables with Windex, which was a little off-putting. Hopefully they can work through these issues after the soft opening, but based on this visit, it missed the mark for us. read more

I am a bit disappointed. Came in for lunch with my mom this Sunday at 1:00pm. There was no parking so we parked across the street. It took us about 5ish minutes for us to be seated. We ordered fish sauce wings, banh khot, banh xeo and bo ne. The first to come out was banh khot, and that was pretty good. I liked the batter they used. However, we had to ask for plates and utensils after they brought the food out, which should've been already brought out without asking, prior to the food. Next was banh xeo, and I am not sure I liked the way it was made. It's not your traditional banh xeo; they fry the batter first then sandwich the toppings in the middle. Traditionally, the batter is what kinda holds the toppings together, but in this case, it wasn't and was messy to eat. The pork belly was a bit overcooked; usually, it's supposed to be a bit fattier. The bean sprouts were barely cooked. We have been here for about an hour, but only half of our food came out. When asking about the bo ne and the fish sauce wings, they told us that it'd be another 15-20 minutes. Unfortunately, at this point, we kinda lost our appetite due to the very long wait so we just cancelled the rest. I did enjoy their banh khot, so hopefully, they'll improve their service. (the extra star is for the banh khot) However, I'm not sure if I'd return. :( read more

I am so thankful they opened somewhere else because it's the best in town. Period. Everything here is spectacular and made to perfection. I haven't found any bánh khot even remotely worthy around town and that I love as much. Can't wait to come back and hope everyone can make it here to support this place. Specifics: Parking-lots of space on the lot around and in front and large spaces too Service-everyone is super nice Food-spot on per usual. Got the spring rolls and banh khot. Side note: be patient during soft openings and newly opened in general as everyone is getting their bearings and that's the point of a soft opening Shoutout to Yelp Houston for having an event here when they were at Stetsi Food Hall so we could discover this deliciousness. read more

Xeo Yum - Banh khot. This is the only place I'll eat this - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is located where Soju Bar used to be on Long Point. On a slow day, parking could be okay but at the time I went it was very limited. I came on Monday (6/22) for their soft opening at around 5:30PM. The ambiance and decor was nice, bright and colorful. Loved how open the restaurant now feels too. There were lots of tables and bad seating available too. The menu had a lot more than I was anticipating. My table ordered goi cuon, banh khot, banh xeo Saigon and bo ne. I also ordered the lychee tea and my aunt ordered the ca phe sua da. The banh xeo Saigon was supposed to have shrimp and pork inside, but ours didn't have any shrimp inside. I liked how the pork was a thinner slice, which made it crispier to eat. The bo ne was the better dish out of the two in my opinion. Well flavored and fresh. The appetizers (goi cuon and banh khot) are staples that you really can't mess up anywhere you go. The lychee tea and ca phe sua da were just ok. I know it's soft opening and the workers are still working out the way the restaurant operates and this time is for them to learn. While they were nice, service could definitely be improved. There were long delays in our orders and the ordering process with our server was a bit difficult. I think he was overwhelmed or moving a bit too fast. Overall everything came out fine though, but if you're coming during soft opening just be patient. read more

Weekend Visit The wait in line takes more than 5 minutes, and the wait for the dishes goes past 20 minutes. By the time the food reaches the table, the expectation is that the food will be worth the time lost - nope. The vermicelli with pork was less seasoned than many other VN restaurants in the Spring Branch area (e.g., Pho Huy, Saigon Hustle, The Pho Vietnamese Kitchen, Pho I-10), and the noodles were not soft, so I was not impressed. The cost of the bowl was $10.00+, and the restaurant offered a variety of dishes to choose from. Some of their plates are pricier than other locations too. The wait staff kept dropping bowls or plates, so it shows there is little experience going on back behind the drapes, or everyone is rushing around and colliding into one another. The environment and atmosphere was bright, and there were many tables available; however, the clean up to open tables or escorting incoming customers to empty tables was super slow. The waitstaff accidentally delivered incorrect dishes over 3 times too, so they need to label the tables or have table flags to identify the orders. There should also be a cart to push around to collect dirty plates and dishes for quicker clean up because the young male staff cleaning and going back and forth to carry dishes and plates away, again, takes up time. read more

Xeo Yum - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

The bánh xèo and bánh khọt were absolutely outstanding! Both were perfectly crispy with an amazing crunch and incredible flavor in every bite. These dishes alone are worth coming back for, and I'll definitely be a repeat customer for them. The bò né was also delicious and packed with great flavor. While a few menu items weren't available yet, they're still in their soft opening phase, so that's completely understandable. I'm excited to return and try more of their offerings as they continue to expand their menu. We arrived around 10:30 AM on a Sunday and were seated right away. By the time we left, the restaurant was completely full, a great sign of how popular it's already becoming! Despite the growing crowd, the service was friendly and attentive. It's wonderful to finally have an authentic Vietnamese restaurant nearby. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. Be patient as they work through the normal soft-opening adjustments it is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to come back! read more

The bánh xèo was outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. The bánh khọt was also one of the best I've had in Houston, perfectly crispy and delicious with the nước mắm. The fish sauce wings were well-seasoned and crispy, and the coconut kumquat drink was refreshing and excellent. The spring rolls were bland, with the dipping sauce lacking peanuts and chili that usually add depth and spice. The waiter was sweet and attentive, which made the experience even better. Overall, a very strong experience with great flavors and dishes I would definitely come back for. The only suggestion is to improve consistency and menu availability, as a few items were already unavailable shortly after opening. Looking forward to returning. read more

I can tell they have been working extra hard, and they have truly put together a wonderful family-friendly atmosphere for us to enjoy the best Banh xeo, Banh khot, and Bo ne in town. Congratulations on the opening! read more

I usually don't like to leave reviews but this one was an exception. I heard so much good stuff about this place prior to coming here for take out. The ambiance inside was amazing! The staff was fully attentive to their customers and myself. They even help me carry my food out to the car because I did order a bunch of variety of dishes to try out. The banh khot was still crispy when I got home. The shaken beef was phenomenal. The spring rolls came in a sushi tray which I thought was very classy. The pho was delicious! Overall, it deserves all the hype!! I definitely would recommend friends and family. read more
