I really love BBH Noodle House. I came here last year and never got around to writing a review, but it is still just as good as I had it the first time. They specialize in only bun bo hue. Bun bo hue is a beef noodle soup with lemongrass and shrimp paste and pork blood and is just amazing! So different from pho and equally as flavorful! If the thought of blood and shrimp paste is too pungent and scares you, then you're missing out. It's good to try new things. Their dumplings are pretty good too, but a bit pricey so I'd save room for the soup. I come here every time I visit Houston. read more

This place was referred to me by a friend but I've also been looking to go to this place but just haven't had time. I'm so glad I finally did because it's so good! My fiance and I came here to try it on a Sunday and they were fairly busy with 5 tables occupied, families and mom and children's. We ordered at the counter and both got the regular special which was $17/ bowl. Now this is a very expensive price for a bowl because it's typically $10-12 at other places so I was hoping it'd be worth it. And I was not wrong! Service was great and food was brought out within 10 minutes of ordering. The bowls were HUGE! BUT there was alot of meat, 2 pieces of pork blood and 2 hog joints (typically only 1 of each because it's such an acquired taste) and lots of slices of tender beef and tendons and noodles. The soup by itself was already flavorful so I didn't have to add much but I added chili oil and alittle shrimp paste. Their chili oil was so flavorful I bought a whole jar for $15. It was so good!! I'll definitely come back but probably just share a bowl with someone because I felt stuffed finishing my whole bowl. 1/2 would be just right for both my fiance and I! read more

My family comes here when we crave for Bun Bo Hue. I think it's the best place up north. The menu is very limited, mainly bun bo hue and dumplings. You can order BBH different ways: - Special (dac biet) Comes with beef, ham, pork hock, blood cakes with noodles. - Beef & Ham - Just Beef or Just Ham - Tofu - Pork - pork hock, blood cakes & ham Our family usually order the special since it comes with everything. Small bowl is $14.95 Regular bowl $17.95 Large bowl $21.95 Dumplings: chicken, pork and chives and veggie option. Extra veggies $2.75 The prices went up since I first started coming here, but inflation happened so I'm not really surprised. I always order iced coffee with jelly when I come here, definitely worth trying. Water and tea is .50 cents. They have filtered water and if you don't want to be charge .50 cents, you can asks for tap water. read more

Came here while visiting Houston and had one of the best bowls of Bún Bò Huế I've had in a long time. The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy with a deep lemongrass aroma that tasted like it had been simmering for hours. Not oily, not bland, just really well balanced. The portions were generous and the meats were tender and well seasoned. The beef shank was especially good, and everything paired perfectly with the fresh herbs and veggies on the side. Noodles had great texture and didn't get soggy. This is the kind of bowl that feels comforting and authentic. If you're looking for legit Bún Bò Huế in Houston, this spot is worth the visit. Would absolutely come back. read more

Hate that I'm having to update a review based on multiple disappointing occasions. I don't live nearby and commute a long ways to hit up my favorite bbh spot. This is the ONLY spot I prefer getting my bbh. On multiple occasions I have stopped by during their listed operating hours and they were closed. Although the hours and on their social media states from 10-6:30 or until sold out, it's frustrating having these cravings and they just simply operate on a PRN status. More recently I arrived at 10:20am to order drinks for my husband and family before I start my day. They were not opened. I messaged them on Instagram in which they responded, "Hey! Thanks for checking! We had a supplier not show up at 10a! But we will have someone be back by 10:45a!" So I don't understand, do they just simply not prepare or start anything regardless if their suppliers didn't show up on time? This is so frustrating, and often times I call just to make sure if they're open. They don't even answer but when I arrive the sign says they're open. On another note, their prices for regular bowls went way up! I get inflation okay... but good lord, 2 reg size bowls for $40? I mean... AND to skimp out on the meats... I can't justify. This isn't even a high end fancy restaurant and the price of $17.95 for one bowl regardless if it's a special or not, is just insane! And a $2 sub charge for to-go. Anything else you wanna charge? read more

I was in town for the weekend and was craving bun bo hue and found this place on Google Maps. The gentleman that took our order walked us through their menu. They offer only bun Bo hue and dumplings. You know when a place offers only a select few offerings that it's going to be good. They have 3 sizes - small, regular and large. I got the small and my boyfriend got the regular. Food came out quick and they gave us plenty of veggies, chili oil, shrimp paste and fish sauce. For Vietnamese noodle soups, you know it's good when you try the soup and don't feel the need to add any more fish sauce or shrimp paste. The chili oil is so delicious. It has a nice spiciness. Everything was *chefs kiss*. The icing on the cake to my dining experience was the music they were playing - can't go wrong with some R&B while eating some yummy Viet food! read more

Walked in and sat down but didn't realize you had to order at the counter first. I heard about this restaurant from tik tok and they did not disappoint. The inside was very modern. They specialize in only Bun Bo Hue and had a few drinks on the menu. I loved that you could change the type of noodles to ramen or udon. Their portions are huge too, I got the medium but should've ordered the small. I also went with original noodles and dac biet (which has everything). I ordered a thai tea and it was probably one of the best i've tried. They had just made it fresh too when I got there. The person who made it told me if I wanted more ice in it to let her know and she'll reseal it for me too. The customer service was great. The BBH came out and I tried it without adding anything. The broth was sweet and did not have enough lemon grass flavor. Once I added the shrimp paste and chili oil, it tasted exactly how I imagined. All the flavors came together and created some of the best, probably top 3 BBH. read more

We went here a few times. At the opening they were super friendly trying to get customers but now it's getting bad. When we ordered the guy at the cashier kept stumbling on taking order. We repeated several times when ordering . When come time to serve our orders got messed up. Then we asked the server if that was the special noodles which clearly stated on their menu board. She looked at us confused by not knowing her own menu. Plus they ripped us off by charging 50 cents more per glass of tap water. Really!!!! WTH??? When I asked the cashier why we've been charged for tap water, she said oh bcoz our water is filter. What's a lame excuse. I told her since you already charged I wouldn't cancel it but I surely will not be back. What's the point to overcharge the customer of 50 cents and loosing a business. Yeah it was 10 of us so they can make another $5 but that's a useless way to make business. This would be my last time coming there. I don't mind paying but just can not tolerate the way the business try to over charge customers. read more

Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them.

I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

When I arrived there was nobody dining in the restaurant, that was a bit worrying, but I figured it was a bit early for the dinner crowd and late for the lunch crowd. Food & Drink - 4.5* First up was the noodles, I enjoyed them, but I wouldn't say the hype I'd heard about from some others was there. They had nice flavor, but there just wasn't anything "special." 3.5* Then it was on to the crawfish, and my oh my. Superb, the flavor is delicious and unique. This more than made up for the noodles dish. The potato and corn was good too. Service - 5* Solid. When I first arrived the owner was quietly reading a newspaper and eating his own lunch. He paused to greet me and advised that I could sit anywhere. He provided water and adequate time to determine what I wanted to order. The food came out quickly and he checked in a few times to make sure everything was ok. As time went by, the crowd of folks showing up increased quite a bit and he still managed to check in on tables consistently. Pricing - 4* This is where it was odd. Always subjective but I found the noodles to be overpriced for not only the size but what I felt was a pretty simple dish. The crawfish on the other hand was priced very competitively and made up for the overpriced noodles. I provided pics of the menu for someone to make their own assessment but in general I thought many of the dishes were pricier than they probably should be. I know inflation is certainly killing many businesses and consumers but even these felt a bit off. Overall - 4.5* This is definitely going to be one of my go tos for crawfish when in the area. The flavor is fantastic, the pricing is good, the size of them were solid. There are a couple of other dishes I may try on the next visit. The restaurant is clean, the owner is very nice, and it's a nice low key space to just enjoy a good meal with friends or family.

I've been on a Bun Bo Hue kick and while I have yet to find one that I've enjoyed more than regular pho, Huynh's was probably the best I've had yet. 4.3/5 The Duck Tea Leaf Salad was bright and very refreshing.

I thought I had over ordered and probably did, but everything was so damn good, I finished it all. 5/5 Coconut coffee - this was my first time trying this. Served like a Vietnamese affogato, it came with a cup of coconut milk with coconut ice cream along with an espresso of Vietnamese coffee. Lord and waistline willing, I would consume one of these everyday. The contrasts of hot and cold, the bitterness of coffee with the creaminess of coconut. It all balanced and went so well together. Highly, highly recommend. 6/5 On top of all the amazing food was the service. I had just arrived from the airport and came close to their lunch closing time. They welcomed me graciously and without hesitation. As they began their lunch and I was finishing mine, multiple staff members paused their meals to refill water check in, etc. for not only me, but the other few remaining stragglers of the lunch crowd. Huynh is every bit worth it. I will be back each time I'm in town

Overall, will definitely satisfy your craving for Viet food in Downtown. Ordered: - 95. Banh Cuon - Reminded me of the ones my grandma makes but with less meat in it. Not a big fan of the Vietnamese ham because it had some chunks of peppercorn but that's just my personal preference. - 73. Crispy Noodles with Seafood - Not usually a dish I typical order or care for. I was fine with it. - 57. Shaken Beef Rice - Beef was flavorful and tender. - Avocado Smoothie - Not much avocado flavor in my opinion.

I've been going here for several years, both in person and for take-outs, and they have never failed to impress me. I like to go here for late lunch or early dinner when the restaurant isn't as busy. The restaurant is in the same shopping center as the Chase Bank and Thanh Da Quan. Even though it's located on the far side of Chinatown near My Hoa Market, the drive is definitely worth it. The restaurant is small and well decorated, and the workers are nice. The dishes are a bit pricey compared to other Vietnamese restaurants for the portion size, but the taste and quality definitely make it worth it. Even my parents, who are super picky when it comes to Vietnamese restaurants, love the food at Com Nieu Houston. Like the name, most of the dishes here are in clay pots. Everything is always super flavorful and perfectly cooked. My absolute favorites are the Thit Ba Chi Kho To (caramelized pork belly), the Suon Non Rim To (braised spare ribs) and the Canh Chua Tom (Vietnamese sweet and sour soup with shrimps). I also really love their Com Chien Ca Man (salted fish & chicken fried rice), which I think is one of the best in town, as well as their Ga Kho Xa Ot (braised lemongrass chicken). The Ca Bong Lau Kho To (caramelized catfish) is my parents' favorite. Photos are from my most recent visit.

I took my parents here and we ordered the pickled cabbage w. chicken, the clay pot fish, and sour fish soup. It was really good and not heavy at all.

I never had central vietnamese food before and never heard of most of these dishes. We saw that everyone was getting the three appetizer platter, bun bo hue, and had to try it. I also got the chicken vermicelli just as a classic. But every single item in the bun bo hue platter was jawdroppingly good. I never had anything like it before. I didn't know there were vietnamese dishes that utilized mochi flour and now I can never go back. Every single item was so good. The mochi was cooked so perfectly as every bite was so chewy and soft with no hard clumps at all. The meat that came with them as well were so sweet and tender. The vermicelli plate was awesome too as you can make a wrap with the lettuce and veggies and rice noodles and they all come together to mouthwatering perfection. I found a new spot to hyperfixate on whenever I come to houston.

My favorite appetizers (in order): Banh beo chen, Banh ram it, banh bot loc, egg rolls, crystal dumplings. Personally I wasn't a fan of the paste-y texture of the banh nam but that is a personal preference! Service is not the most hospitable but very quick. We were reseated after spotting a cockroach under our table. But even so I would come back to have this amazing food any day.

We started with mango salad with grilled pork and papaya salad with shrimp. Both dishes came with sweet and sour dressing. Mango was sweet and grilled pork was yummy. Papaya salad was fresh and a bit more subtle. We also ordered the fresh spring rolls. The old Saigon rolls came with mango and pork. Always liked mangoes. The other was regular fresh spring rolls with shrimp. The rolls came out last after when we got our Pho. Would have enjoyed it more if it came after the salads. I ordered the combination Pho with all the ingredients (brisket, eye round, tendon, meatball and tripe)a. There is only one size. There was a lot of noodles for the size of the bowl. They were generous with the meat. Wish they would have more soup. The soup itself was ok. Thought it was a little bland compared to others. Service was quick. It didn't take long to receive our order. They offer reusable wooden chopsticks. Will plan to try the other dishes other than Pho like rice plates next time.

This is a higher end fine dining restaurant so you should expect the portion sizes and price to be pretty comparable to a lot of other finer dining restaurants. Overall the food's flavor was fantastic. I ordered the king salmon clay pot. I thought the salmon was so tasty! They added pepper and sauce to the salmon - It was tender and flavorful and paired nicely with white rice. The quail (not pictured below) also was super flavorful and was cooked so well it tasted like beef. The soup was also light and refreshing, similar to a west lake soup. It was thicker consistency and had cilantro and chucks of lobster. The drinks served were also super balanced. We ordered the mojito and the dragon fruit cocktail. The mojito was the right balance between minty and sweet with just a hint of alcohol flavor. For the dragon fruit cocktail, it was very fruity, on the sweeter side but not overpowering and was topped with egg whites to give it a little bit of frothiness. I will say, we are slightly underdressed to enter this establishment. Everything seemed so luxurious and many people were in formal business wear! Keep this in mind if you go! There is a parking deck right next to the location as well, both self parking and valet!
