    Soft shell crab bao
    Bry-Ann S.

    Was around the corner and paid way too much for tiny food, so came here after and so glad we did. The soft shell crab Bao was one of the best soft shell crab experiences of my life! You have to try this. The batter they used was unlike any other fried soft shell crab I've had- it was thick and crunchy to juxtapose the soft, pillowy, perfectly steamed bao on the outside. The tang of the pickled veg along with the sweet and spice of the sauce, it's the type of flavor profile you crave going across the entire spectrum with all different textures to boot. Also had a stellar cold cut banh mi, great quality and perfect crunch on outside to soft bread inside. Needless to say, left stuffed and happy

    Delicious food! Chicken katsu and lemongrass pork bao. Quick and friendly service too!

    Place is spacious with lots of seating. The staff were friendly and patient as we browsed the menu. I ordered the chicken katsu bao, beef bulgogi bao, and bulgogi fries. Everything was tasty but a little too salty for my preference. I really liked the bulgogi fries and recommend. I plan to try the banh mi next time. Place is worth giving a try.

    I came in for a quick, small bite. The service was very friendly and quick. Plenty of seating inside and very clean. I ordered the pork belly bao and it was really good! The pork was yummy and buttery and it had perfect amount of sauces on it. I also got the thai green milk tea and was disappointed. I asked for light ice but it still tasted watered down. The flavor was kind of weird too. It didn't have that Thai tea flavor.

    We finally got to try this place and it was delicious! The standard foods were pretty basic but the bao was my favorite! It was extremely tasteful and full of flavor. It was very clean inside and we did not wait long for our food at all!

    We were attempting to visit Proper Rose Garden during their closing weekend, but after an hour and a half of waiting, we were hungry and needed something fast. Enter Bao Bao Banh Mi -- our savior. This was such a great find! The food was affordable and the portions were plentiful. They had a VAST array of options, from Banh Mis to Baos. I personally enjoyed a grilled shrimp and lemongrass beef bao. 10/10 would recommend. The environment is cute and cozy too!

    Found this place by putting bulgogi fries ! And they had the best picture in the area lol I was not disappointed Bap Bao Banh Mi was a cute little shop in Katy Asian Market area . The menu was easy to read which I loved because I ask a lot of questions and didn't have to because all the details was there My husband and I decided to share the bulgogi fries, chicken sliders , and a sandwich All were delicious ! Bulgogi fries- 8.9 delicious but I did wish the fries were a bit thicker and a little bit more sauce. The hit the mark with the meat there was plenty of meat Chicken slider - 9.4 they were very flavorful! No complaints honestly Sandwich- 9.4 delicious i thought it was missing a little something but my husband love it and actually ordered another one to go lol. All in all a great find and I'll be back !

    1st time customer, very disappointed in the quality of food received. Banh mi was rock hard and popcorn chicken was a box of fried batter. Where is the chicken?

    Braised Pork Belly Bao

    Food was great (but pricey)! Service was fast! Perfect spot for lunch or dinner due to its close proximity to Katy Asia Town for other desserts, close to Andrettis Karting and Claw City for fun and games! The ambiance is relaxed and the inside is quaint. Definitely recommend although it's a little expensive!

    Chicken katsu bao, Pork belly bao & Bulgogi bao
    Angelica F.

    Okay, wow. This little joint is adorable, super cozy and every item we tasted was delicious. The popcorn chicken is so crispy and surprisingly not that spicy. We tasted the chicken katsu, pork belly & Bulgogi bao.. yum! The chicken katsu and bulgogi were definitely my favorite. Amazing flavors and textures. Lemongrass pork vermicelli was tasty and my sister devoured her bahn mi.. a must try. So much variety on the menu, you can't go wrong!

    Service was great and food was good. We ordered the cold cut pork special, lemongrass pork, Hawaiian spam Bahn mi.
    May O.

    Service was good. Besides the sandwiches we got a soft shell crab bao, shrimp and pork spring rolls and fries. Probably won't order the fresh spring roll just because I prefer my own homemade sauce. But there was nothing wrong with the rolls.

    Lemongrass Pork Banh Mi
    Alicia B.

    Was super excited to see a place that serves both Bao & Banh Mi, 2 of my favorite things!! I got a pork belly bao, a lemon grass pork Banh mi, and finished it off with a coffee Thai milk tea. Was a little disappointed with the lack of meat on the Banh mi. It was mostly bread and vegetables. However, the flavors were great. The bao was delicious, but the pork belly was a little tough to chew. The milk tea was perfection. Banh Mi - 3/5 Coffee Thai Milk Tea - 5/5 Braised Pork Belly Bao - 4/5

    Love this place and it's also in a great location. The service is always very nice and the name speaks for itself. Everything is good especially their chicken Katsu. They offer free water along with boba beverages.

I especially love their Signature Garlic Herb bread. It's toasted perfectly where the outside has a slight crisp around the edges and the inside is soft and fluffy. It's really GOOD bread. I definitely prefer it over the likes of something like Subway, Jersey Mike's, etc. It's nice that they offer different sizes of sandwiches. There's the Nug (4"), Pinner (8"), and the largest size is the Blunt (12"). I ordered the Nug. It's just the right size to satisfy my appetite without leaving me feeling heavy afterward. I also love and truly appreciate the diverse vegetarian options on the menu. They're not just the basic boring raw veggies combinations either. It's super casual and laid back inside. Love their fun decorations. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There's a bar in the back with a large TV, allowing you to enjoy sports while sipping on a cold beer or cocktail. Glad they are in the area. For sure I will be a regular here. Just thinking about their bread makes me hungry.

I was still able to finish it. I'll still come back and maybe try something different next time.

The 1/2 lb of meat was somewhat satisfying, but you'll probably want a side (i.e, fries or tots) to make the meal feel more complete. Our friend ordered a shake and was unable to drink from it because the straw was designed too small for the consistency. Unfortunately, they didn't have any other straw, but not a big deal - just something to consider for the future. They don't offer free water. If you are thirsty, you have to buy a drink or stay thirsty. I'm not a fan of this concept because it's not going to force me to buy bottled water. I just rather not pay for bottled water, but that's preferential. I rather go next door to get milk tea afterwards. Not sure how I feel about tipping at a place where you order at the counter, clean your own table, and take out your own trash. Do people tip at Whataburger? The interior felt clean. They had a hand washing station up front too (though not sure if we were suppose to use it or if it was employee only). Come and give this place a try!

    This was my first experience ever at a Portillo's. And wow! I have been missing out!…read more This location is humongous! The parking lot is huge. The inside has a ton of seating. We arrived on a Friday around 12:30pm and it was fairly busy. Many of the tables were occupied. The lady at the register was helpful and patient with us as this was our first time. We ordered the chicken tenders, fries, cheese sauce, Italian Beef and Sausage sandwich with sweet peppers, onion rings, and chocolate cake shakes (a must I've heard). Everything was delicious! My husband's beef and sausage sandwich took a little bit of time because they were making it fresh which was much appreciated. The chicken strips were good too. I got the comeback sauce and the Giardiniera sauce and both were really good. The cheese sauce was hot and super tasty. The chocolate cake shakes were delicious. Mr. Black Fine came around to each table to ensure everything was going okay. We told him it was our first time at a Portillo's and he couldn't have been friendlier. He also came around with chocolate cake shake samples, which was awesome. This place is yummy and the vibes were awesome. Can't recommend this location more! I hope to be able to come back if we are ever in the Houston area again.

Let me start by saying I've been here multiple, multiple times & I've never had any food items that weren't good. I always get breakfast (even if it's lunch time) so I don't know much about the lunch items. Not only is the food outstanding with a creative twist, it's consistent. Over the years, the place has expanded several times so now there is a decent amount of dine-in seating in addition to the outdoor seating. The place still stays packed but with their wait list in advance/text notification system & efficiency in seating customers, if there is a wait things move along smoothly. Additionally, anyone who is waiting knows it's worth the wait!! The service staff are friendly. The atmosphere is homey & they decorate for the various holidays & seasons. Owner/chef Lori is always walking around asking guests if everything is ok. On at least 2 occasions she happened to chat with me/my guest about some dietary restrictions & she whipped something up for us to try. My go-to dish is the harvest breakfast where you can pick 4 breakfast items from a list. This is a great way to sample more menu items. Here's my take on some of my favorites: - Sourdough pancakes are thin & really delicious. - Belgium Leige waffle is very sweet with the pearl sugar "nuggets" in them so taste them before you add a lot of syrup. - Scrambled eggs are well seasoned, not bland. - Avocado & tomato or the fresh fruit are nice light touches as one of the side item choices. - Fried chicken tenders are really good. Spice level 3 (medium) is not that spicy. It's flavorful. - Grilled chicken tenders are good. As much as I typically eat grilled or baked chicken, I allow myself to choose fried for these. - Grits are creamy. I get them with no cheese. I'm not a big grits person but I do like these! The menu is very extensive. It includes vegan, vegetarian, keto & gluten free. Is the breakfast a little pricey, the answer is "it's all relative." Sometimes it's just worth paying for a great meal. In case you haven't gotten the message, Harvest Kitchen is a must try. Do yourself a favor & have a visit. I'm betting it will stay on your list as a repeat eating spot!! Tips: - Use the text message wait list & signup before you leave your house. - You can always get 1 pancake on the side for $5. - 15% gratuity is included at checkout, as you pay you'll get options for an additional % or custom % like 0%, 3, 5% or more.
