Beef pho

I just had maybe one of the worst pho soup bowls ever. Maybe I am spoiled by all of the pho places I have been to, but this was bad, the broth was a weird taste and pretty certain was not beef broth, the single piece of beef was mostly fat and chewy, the bowl was maybe half the size of pho bowls at normal restaurants. I don't have high expectations of airport food, but this was way below expectations. Also the service was bad, the waiter came to get my order and collect the bill with him adding 18% before anything was served. I should have gone to my trusted potbelly's not to far from here.

Chicken Stir Fry

Stumbled upon this restaurant while going to Gate C6. Friendly server took our orders. Two nice IPAs available. Had the chicken stir-fry bowl and the shrimp fried rice. Good portions, lots of chicken and shrimp. Typical airport prices.

Stopped here for Breakfast. Mostly High top tables with outlets-a handful of regular tables and an abundant amount of bar seating. Located across from gate C11. Upbeat tunes piping from the speakers. Ordered just before 10 am when they stop their breakfast service. Cheddar/Bacon Omelette and added spinach, mushrooms and avocado. Asked for a soft Omelette and it came out as ordered. Stuffed with the veggies and Bacon, this was a tasty omelette. Thought the spinach would be chopped vs leaf-enjoyed the potatoes. Ordered via tablet with my server and pre-paid for breakfast. Service was friendly and helpful. Pricey for an omelette but had to remind myself I was at the airport. Solid for breakfast.

Miso soup was small for $7.99 but tasty. Itʻs airport pricing. Bartender was prompt to bring us menues, take our order and bring is back our soups, with napkins. Modern style restaurant. Restaurant appears to be available for "delivery" to patrons outside of its immediate borders, based on some reviews and QR menues by the gates. This may be a poor design. If you - in theory - double the size of your seats in an eatery but don't increase your staff, you are headed for problems. I bet their customer service would improve if this restaurant scaled back, if my thoughts are an accurate assessment.

Pretty disappointing when you're at the airport and found an online description and menu offering Vietnamese Cajun cuisine. When you arrive it's just "fusion" Asian food at a marked up price. There was no seafood options nor Cajun offerings. Opted for the wings and the fries. I should have known it wasn't going to good when you arrive around dinner time and it's completely empty. I should have stuck with my initial choice and gotten Panda Express. At least you know what you're getting there.

General Tsao's Chicken Bowl. And yes, only two pieces of broccoli!
Rebecca S.

We just wanted lunch before boarding our flight and I chose wrong! $50 for an iced coffee and a bowl. And the bowl came with--count them--two pieces of broccoli. Add to that our table was dirty. No one offered to wipe it down. My water glass had lipstick on it (frankly I looked around and none of the glasses look very clean). This place is NOT worth it! We wish we had tried another option.

Chocolate layer cake.
Miss D.

While I waited for my flight I wanted a sweet treat and fount out this Bar/ restaurant called Bam Bam and decided to order the chocolate layer cake. I had no expectation since Airport food tend to to be not so good but wow! What a delicious cake. 10/10! The waitress was also very nice.

I was attracted to Bam Bam because it's more secluded, it has nice seating options and lovely, peaceful looking decor. Bam Bam is an Asian fusion restaurant located in Terminal C in Houston's airport. It is a nice choice for lunch or dinner if you have a bit of time. We had a longer layover and this would be our only decent meal lunch & dinner. We picked a nice table, away from the airport's craziness. The menu has many cool options, unfortunately they have no print menu-s, just QR code or screens which they change when you try to make your decision. We were tired and didn't want to order via phone since we were tired and didn't want to deal with another hassle while travelling. Talking to an actual person is better, in this case that would be a great example. My husband wanted the Pulled Pork Sandwich, they have it on their menu, but not on QR code one when you order. Since I went to the counter, a nice waitress came to our able and got the Pulled Pork Sandwich ordered for my husband. Dealing with a human is so much better, right? I opted for the Spicy Japanese Chicken Sandwich which wasn't too spicy, nice and full of flavor. Both sandwiches came with fries, my husband enjoyed his pulled pork (although his order came later than mine, not good), nicely cooked, tender and we each got a Fat Tire on draft. There is staff around if you need more condiments, forks, etc. Prices are a tad high as you'd expect in an airport, but the food is decent here. Bam Bam has pluses and minuses. For us, it was a nice getaway between flights. Calming decor, with nice touches, a decent restaurant to try of you have a layover!

The fried rice was soggy and the bowel of pho was tasteless. I'm not sure how they wanted to stay in business if their food was this awful.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in June!

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

The vibe is great, the decor is awesome, the food delivers consistently, and service rarely takes a day off -- it's just a solid place to go when you're up for some great southern comfort classics. Cocktails, delicious. The daily food specials make it refreshing. The oysters never disappoint. We've rarely had to wait long on any ordered items and servers are all top notch. My only minor complaint is some of the larger groups visiting can sometimes forget there are others in the restaurant. We don't need to hear your entire conversation about the latest office gossip.

*this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.

YEAH, they understood the assignment. The gumbo is finger‑licking good -- argue with somebody else about it. I get the seafood version minus the sausage, and I clear that bowl every time. The Chargrilled Rockefeller? That's the one you call your mama about. Big, flavorful, perfect. And the deviled eggs... listen. I don't even like deviled eggs, but these? My mouth is literally watering thinking about them. Smooth, creamy yolk, perfectly seasoned shrimp on top -- a combo I didn't know I needed. The crab cakes? Chef's kiss. Packed with fresh crab, and that aioli is doing exactly what it needs to do. The only miss for me was the crab and asparagus -- it just wasn't giving. No flavor, no cohesion... just no. The crème brûlée is delicious, but I'm still wishing they made beignets. Now the drinks? Top 2 and not number 2, do you hear me? The Mexican Martini and the Texas Blueberry Martini -- TEA. (Yes, the little tea‑finger gesture is happening.) And the staff? Amazing. I actually found out I was laid off while I was sitting at happy hour, and the way they comforted me... You would've thought they'd known me for years. They turned one of my hardest moments into something warm and memorable. I'll never forget that. Rouxpour has my whole heart.
