I had Chicken Pho, large bowl, I could not eat it all. I should have requested Dark Meat Chicken. I don't care for white meat being too dry for my taste. Well worth giving them a try. Staff and a few customers were friendly. Oh, the menu given were pictures only, so I asked for one with pricing.

Vietnam Coast is one of those places I can't believe I went so long without trying! I've lived in…read moreHouston my entire life, but I never came here until I joined Reiki Circle at Unity Houston in 2017. They meet for lunch afterward, and now it's become one of my absolute favorite spots. It's wonderful for groups of any size, the staff is always attentive and friendly, and in all the years I've been coming here, I've never had a bad experience. Everyone I bring ends up loving it, too. What's funny is my friend Sal was in town from Chicago this weekend and had actually lived in Houston for 25 years himself. He used to come to nearby spots like Garson and Antonio's Flying Pizza all the time but always turned his nose up at Vietnam Coast because of the outside appearance. Last night he finally came in and absolutely loved it. I almost always start with the Vietnamese egg rolls, which are deep fried and served with lettuce, cucumber, cilantro, carrots, fish sauce, and spicy red sauce. You wrap the egg roll in the lettuce and customize it however you want. They're fantastic. I also love the Vietnam Coast Beef entrée itself, which comes out in a little boat with beef, jalapeños, onions, green onions, and rice. But last night I ordered my favorite dish: the Vietnamese beef fajitas. They are SO good! You build your own wraps using rice paper with lemongrass beef, carrots, pineapple, bean sprouts, cilantro, noodles, fried onions, fish sauce, and whatever extras you want. I always add fresh jalapeños. My only annoyance--and it's minor--is that sometimes they bring lukewarm water for softening the rice paper. If the water isn't hot enough, it takes forever for the wrappers to soften, so definitely ask for hot water if needed. It makes a huge difference. I also love their Thai tea with boba. Considering the quality and amount of food, it's still very reasonably priced even with inflation. Two people with Vietnamese egg rolls, the Vietnam Coast beef entrée, and Vietnamese beef fajitas, two beers, and a Thai tea with boba came out to just under $60. Additionally, the restrooms are always clean, there's always a good crowd, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. One more positive thing that did unexpectedly come out of the afternoon yesterday: the back parking lot has a curb filled with roses and purple heart plants, and they must have cut the purple heart plants back, but just left the cuttings all over the surrounding parking spaces and on the curb itself instead of discarding them. I have an incredibly brown thumb, but these plants are incredibly easy to propagate and bloom the prettiest pink flowers. I ended up leaving with an armful of free propagates for my garden, which had bloomed by morning even while still in a grocery bag. Those cuttings honestly may have been the highlight of our visit to Vietnam Coast this weekend. . This place is absolutely worth visiting.

Pho Binh 59 South is a far cry from its OG Pho Binh Trailer predecessor but the appeal has been…read morelargely due to the success of the name. Even without the family branding, it is a solid pho establishment that stands up on its own. Located in Sharpstown in a strip mall, highway Pho Binh is situated right next to Maharaja Bhog, which is not only one of the city's most popular Indian veg destinations but commands a wild crowd on the weekends. Know this ahead of time (#1) and head past the bulk of folks to the door and one will find a largely Viet crowd, high ceilings, and a strong aroma of spices and broth. It's spacious enough for all kinds of groups and the natural lighting is a nice touch. The signature pho is really their house special (#2), which is loaded with hearty beef cuts and a pungent yet semi-murky broth. The generous cuts of meats, especially the tenderness of the tendon and heartiness of the brisket were the real standouts and certainly made the meal that much more satisfying. The fried cha gio were a bit on the smaller side, which for $7 I didn't mind but didn't love either. The grilled thit nuong pork was a tad sweet but nicely charred, making it an ideal protein over bun vermicelli. Avoiding the fried dumplings as well as their milk tea is highly recommended. Service has been a mixed bag. Some days it's been great, on some others it's a bit slow. This is likely to happen on the weekends when they're at their most busy. They're only open until 6:00 p.m. so make this a lunch or potentially an early dinner destination. ___________ (#1) Because knowing is half the battle. (#2) Dac Biet. All day every day.

Hunan's Bistro and Sushi is a classic Chinese restaurant with great food in the heart of Bellaire…read more It exudes old school charm with marble tiled floors, fish tanks, wall art, and even a fountain in the front entryway. It was a simple day out with my wife and daughter. We got Crab Rangoons as an appetizer. I ordered my usual Chinese dish Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. My wife ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork and Wanton Soup. My daughter got the Beef Pho. The Crab Rangoons were some of the best I've had in a long while. The outer layer was thick and crispy, the cream cheese delectable it had the perfect balance of sweetness and savory. I tasted my wife's wanton soup and it was fresh with a deep pork broth. The wontons had depth not just simple flavor, it was savory on a different level. She said her Sweet and Sour Pork was amazing so I had a piece or two and they were crispy and well cooked. The flavor burst in your mouth, the sweet and sour sauce was light and sweet not too heavy. Shrimp and Lobster Sauce is my go to order at every Chinese restaurant, I basically judge a place by this dish. This one was very good, the shrimp were grilled before hand and the lobster sauce had a richness and tang. So good. I didn't taste my daughter's Pho but she said it was very good. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Hunan's has classic service with great food and an elegant dining area. The sushi bar alone at the back exuded charm.

We only ordered Chinese and Thai dishes and they definitely leaned more toward Americanized Chinese food flavors. Nothing really stood out as amazing, but it satisfied the craving and the portions were decent. The pad Thai was probably my favorite dish even though it didn't really taste like authentic pad thai.

No one can make that many options all taste good. In every dish we ordered, I found myself searching for flavor in every bite of each dish. Just felt like it all was lacking flavor.

The mango sticky rice should be removed from the menu completely.

Our server didn't speak English but lucky enough my friends did so it was a smooth process but regardless he was extremely kind and patient with explaining the menu and waiting for my friends to translate everything. Overall the place was clean. We ordered as family style and had ceviche, tacos, enchiladas, and sushi (cause why not try sushi at a Mexican restaurant?) and they were all so fresh!!! This place blew my mind due to the "hole in the wall" ambiance but honestly, the best foods comes from Places that's hidden. Even the sushi and ceviche seafood was very refreshing. I would recommend this place as a little get together or pregame before heading out cause the vibes will get you pumping and excited.
