Can you believe that someone from Reddit recommended this restaurant after I expressed my desire to…read moreeat more vegan Vietnamese dishes? I was clueless about Duy's sandwich that has been a vegetarian restaurant at this location for 15 years until I came here talking to the employee. It's kind of tucked away from the main street view of Bellaire Blvd. The restaurant has a variety of banh mi sandwiches and some ready made vegan dishes on display tables. Wow. Everything looks so yummy. I was surprised with the flavors of my Lemongrass Sandwich. I was too busy to brag about the flavors to my friends on social media and completely forgot to open the sandwich to investigate the ingredients. The mayonnaise is eggless which made it completely vegan. Although I have been cooking a lot in recent months, I could never duplicate what they serve. Yeah, adding this Duy's Vegetarian Cafe to my favorite vegan restaurant list.

Its super casual and has the restaurant portion for sit down dining and quite a bit of takeout/vegetarian ingredients. My partner and I came in a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty quiet. Staff were extremely kind and friendly. You order and pay at the cashier then sit at a table to wait for your orser. We got the vegetarian cold cut combo banh mi, the lo mein, and the rice rolls. Everything was full of flavor and we did not miss animal protein. The banh mi had a nice, crisp bread along with a good amount of veggies and vegetarian cold cuts. The lo mein was very flavorful and the mushrooms really stood out as a nice unami bomb. The veggies were well cooked too and maintained crispness. My favorite was the rice rolls, which had the perfect texture, velvety, slightly QQ, and had a great filling along with a nice sauce. The veggies that accompanied it were a great addition too. My partner and I ended up getting a couple of their ready made dishes to take home and they were only $8 each. They were also delicious (basil kidney and stuffed bitter melon). I think the food here is solid and still affordable. To me, its a great restaurant that puts out good food that also happens to be vegetarian. I really didn't miss meat with my meals here and can't wait to come back!

They rave about being a halel deli so even their bacon is all beef. ( I eat pork but noting it for those who don't) The Reuben sandwich was quite tasty. The bread & meat were toasted just right, not too hard. And the marbled rye bread was really good. They allowed me to add whatever veggies I wanted with no up charge so the onions, tomatoes, peppers & cucumber add-ons made for terrific enhancements to the basic reuben.

It has a ton of thinly sliced pastrami with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on marble rye. The meat is pretty high quality and I really liked the sauce on it. It could use a little more fatty pieces as most of it is lean but it was still good. They also gave me some jalapeños and pickles on the side and they definitely elevated it a lot. I would come back to try something else. They have a lot of other interesting sandwiches like paninis, cheesesteaks, and other special sandwiches

It's spiced up with Szechuan hot chili oil and spicy coleslaw. It's also topped with honey mustard, a special sauce, and pickles. The chicken itself was huge. It was very moist and pretty easy to bite through. Like Szechuan food, the spice starts off very low and then builds up over time. Pretty good and unique overall but not worth going out of your way for. They also have a Taiwanese salt and pepper chicken sandwich which might be worth trying as well.

I ate the dac biet one a few days later which probably goes in hand with why it was a little more dry at that point. Solid spot but I wouldn't say the best

They have dine in and order-at-the-counter take options, and it was clear that the restaurant (which advertises as fast food) prioritizes takeout orders. We waited 20 minutes for our dine-in order of two banh mi sandwiches, and we saw many takeout orders come and go during that time. And it wasn't just our table--other dine-in tables waited a long time too. So if you're going there, definitely do takeout. To be fair, the banh mi was good--we tried the pork (#1) and ham (can't remember the #), and both were great, though perhaps not my favorite in Houston. Pro tip: the restaurant is cash only.

I tried there grilled BBQ pork baguette and the meat was done really well! They will have a butter spread along the base of the baguette with a little bit of mayonnaise to help give the filling a premiere texture. I just wish that they would do the same to the ceiling and not just the base of the baguette. Fair warning, if you drop by later on in the day, close to their closing hours, the baguette may not be as moist, still somewhat crunchy though. I highly recommend going earlier on the day to catch the baguette when it's made fresh. Service is standard for this area of town. They'll prepare the baguette in less than 5 minutes and will call your name when ready. Another fair warning, this place was cash only. Come prepared. The place is very spacious with a couple of tables and seats. Most folks choose the to-go option. You'll have no problems with finding seating if you'd like to stay.

First time I was here, I ordered just a combination banh mi. It was delicious, meats were filling and seasoned nicely. The bread was toasted just right. Decided to come back last night with my friend. I got their Bo ne and a Thai tea & my friend ordered the shredded chicken banh mi. I thought that my dish would be shareable but it wasn't. The portions were small for the price but I still left pretty full. The sauce on the Bo ne was delicious and seasoned perfectly. Bread was crispy and flaky on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Idk if they make their pate/butter in-house but it was the best I've had. The steak was also tendered and the egg was cooked just right with a runny yolk. My Thai tea was solid but wasn't as sweet as I would've liked it. My friend shredded chicken banh mi was also very good. Crispy baguette, chicken was tendered and veggies were filling. Overall, this is a good hidden spot for some good banh mi. The service was quick and the owner was nice. The person who brought out the food was very kind. They also have a buy 5 sandwiches and get one free. Prices are reasonable and the food is good. Will I come back? Yes. I need to try their banh mi bo kho next time.
